Mo Lin looked perplexed, what does this have to do with her master?

"This is a grudge from the previous generation."

The Ghost Mother pondered and asked Mo Lin, "Do you know how the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill came about?"

Mo Lin shook his head, "No idea."

Mo Lin knew very little about the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill.

"The Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill evolved from the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique."

"Xian Yunqing, the first owner of the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique, once knew Zhong Kui. The two once partnered to catch ghosts together, and later, under Xian Yunqing's guidance, Zhong Kui created the Five Viscera Concealed Ghost Skill.

Xian Yunqing secretly developed feelings for Zhong Kui.

She expressed her feelings to Zhong Kui but was rejected by him.

Xian Yunqing felt that Zhong Kui approached her just to use her to learn the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill, and thus bore resentment against him."

After listening to the Ghost Mother's explanation, Mo Lin realized there was such a backstory.

No wonder, just now, that woman named Xin Ziruo changed her attitude so quickly upon hearing about the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill.

She even wanted Mo Lin dead.

But now things are complicated. How was he supposed to ask Xin Ziruo for a trace of Immortal Qi?

Given these grudges and Xin Ziruo's attitude towards Mo Lin, asking her for a trace of Immortal Qi to break the first-stage restriction of the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill is quite difficult.

Mo Lin shook his head, and stopped thinking about these matters, focusing instead on the immediate problem.

Mo Lin took out a white bottle containing two ghosts of the Underworld and handed the bottle over to the Ghost Mother.

"I want to ask these two ghosts some questions."

"Sure."

The Ghost Mother nodded, then took the white bottle in her hand and placed the two Underworld ghosts from inside into her black jar.

About a minute later, she put her hand into the black jar and released the two ghosts.

The attitudes and expressions of these two ghosts changed dramatically.

"My lord, ask away," the Ghost Mother gestured to Mo Lin.

"Where are you from?" Mo Lin began his questioning.

"The Underworld."

"Where exactly in the Underworld? Why is there a fake Black Impermanence in there?"

"The Underworld was constructed by a lord who wanted to build a second Yedou city in the Underworld.

Black and White Impermanence were also appointed by that lord following previous Underworld patterns.

Aside from Black and White Impermanence, there are other positions such as Ox Head and Horse Face within the Underworld."

Mo Lin understood that the Underworld was a faction existing to replace the entire Yedou city.

"Was the destruction of Yedou city related to the Underworld?" Mo Lin asked again.

"Yes, the destruction of Yedou city was indeed initiated by that lord."

A ghost from the Underworld spoke slowly, "Though Yedou city is no more, its essence was taken by someone long ago, and that lord suspects the essence of Yedou city is with you."

Mo Lin's heart skipped a beat, although it was merely suspicion, it was very likely the other party would make a move.

"What about the Ghost Realm? Naihe Bridge? What happened to those two forces?" Mo Lin asked once more.

"With no more obstacles from Yedou, the Ghost Realm's power is immense, while Naihe Bridge stays to itself without interfering in grudges," said the Underworld ghost again.

"Why are you here?" Mo Lin inquired again.

"To seize the position of Ghost God," the Underworld ghost answered softly.

"Alright, I got it."

Mo Lin had a grasp of the necessary information.

To Mo Lin, the Underworld was a potential enemy.

A conflict between the two was bound to happen sooner or later.

What Mo Lin needed most now was to solve his current troubles.

No matter how formidable the Underworld, it would be difficult for them to reach the mortal world quickly.

The Ghost Mother waved her hand and placed the two little ghosts back into the black jar.

Accompanying Mo Lin, the Ghost Mother traveled forward.

They eventually arrived in front of a large mountain.

On the mountain, Ghost Qi gathered, forming a dark vortex in the sky.

The position of Ghost God was located here on this mountain.

Many ghosts came to vie for the position.

Mo Lin saw a group of ghosts upon reaching the foot of the mountain.

The group of ghosts also spotted Mo Lin.

Some ghosts had ideas about Mo Lin, and gradually approached him.

The Ghost Mother reached into the black jar and brought out a small black ghost, which she tossed to the ground.

The small ghost's body expanded rapidly on the ground, standing over three meters tall with the build of a giant.

Once the giant ghost appeared, some of the ghosts who were eager to try stepped back, displaying timid expressions.

The giant ghost held Mo Lin in its palm, allowing Mo Lin to gradually ascend the mountain while riding on it.

During the ascent, Mo Lin noticed something intriguing. The higher he climbed, the higher the level of ghosts became.

At the mountain's peak, there were not only ghosts but also people.

At the summit, there were five Ghost Kings and two human figures.

All of them were here to contest the position of Ghost God.

The moment Mo Lin appeared, everyone's gaze turned to him.

In the depths of their eyes was a hint of resentment.

When Mo Lin saw these people, he felt somewhat speechless.

Five Ghost Kings and two humans, all were Mo Lin's enemies.

These five ghosts were all from the Ghost Realm.

Even in brief contact, Mo Lin sensed the presence of the Ghost Realm from them.

Likewise, these five ghosts also recognized Mo Lin.

Mo Lin's reputation within the Ghost Realm was too great, making it hard not to identify him.

The Ghost Realm even conspired with the Underworld to kill Mo Lin, planning a significant event.

As for the two humans, Mo Lin was also familiar with them.

One of them was the deputy leader of the Ghost-Controlling Dao branch in the Celestial Sect.

The deputy leader, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was immediately recognized by Mo Lin among the crowd.

The other person Mo Lin also knew, a member of the Evil Cultivation Group.

He wore the uniform of the Evil Cultivation Group, making him hard not to recognize.

Before Mo Lin spoke, the five ghosts and two people felt the murderous intent in each other's gaze, and they looked at each other.

With just a glance, they could understand each other's intent.

"Mo Lin, what a coincidence meeting you here after you killed so many of my group's people," said the man from the Evil Cultivation Group, introducing himself, "Fifth Elder of the Evil Cultivation Group, Zhang Fan."

"The Corpse Immortal you killed was my brother."

"Mo Lin, you don't need me to introduce myself, do you?" Qing San, the deputy leader of the Ghost-Controlling Dao, sneered.

"Since we're here, let's settle the grudge over you taking Zhen Lingling from me."

Qing San had long known that it was Mo Lin who rescued Zhen Lingling from him.

Due to an agreement with the Red Dust Immortal General, he hadn't acted against Mo Lin.

Now that Mo Lin presented himself, it was time to settle grievances.

"Ghost Realm, Master Hong, Mo Lin, there's no need for me to elaborate on our grudge, right?" Ghost King Master Hong said coldly to Mo Lin.

The feud between Mo Lin and the Ghost Realm had a long history. Recently, Mo Lin had destroyed Ghost City and even killed a Ghost King of the Ghost Realm on Jiangzhou Dao.

Their enmity was akin to water meeting fire.

Whenever they met, it was either life or death.

The Ghost Mother peeked her head out from beside Mo Lin, "My lord, you have quite a number of enemies!"
