Wu Peiling, accepted her own death calmly.
After all, what she did were things that harmed the world and defied reason.
Being killed one day was not surprising.
At that moment, Wubei saw Mo Lin's face, as if he had seen a devil.
"Lord Mo Lin, spare me, I beg you!"
It wasn't unreasonable for Wubei to be so frightened.
The rumors about Mo Lin recently were simply too many, and they were all bad.
These rumors depicted Mo Lin as worse than an Evil Cultivator.
"Is my reputation rotten now?" Mo Lin asked Wubei.
Wubei hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, unsure whether to speak or not.
"I'm asking you!"
"Yes, it's rotten. The name Mo Lin is almost universally condemned.
Your current reputation is worse than that of an Evil Cultivator, Great Spirit Mountain has even issued a warrant for your capture." Wubei told Mo Lin truthfully.
Others compete in strength, Great Spirit Mountain plays the game of cunning.
Spreading rumors and tarnishing Mo Lin's reputation, at least to control him from a moral high ground.
Mo Lin was too lazy to explain, his explanations sounded more like excuses.
Mo Lin ignored Wubei, walking past him.
Wubei watched Mo Lin's silhouette disappear completely, collapsing to the ground, breathing heavily.
Feeling like he narrowly escaped death.
.....
Mo Lin drove away in Wu Peiling's car, heading to Qingshan State.
Different places nurture different people.
If Great Spirit Mountain represents Daoist Cultivators, then the people of Qingshan State are Corpse Control users.
Here, almost every household practices Corpse Control.
Corpse Control here is no secret.
Mo Lin wore casual clothes, walking down the street.
"Boom!"
A dark figure crashed down from the second-floor window onto the ground.
The shadow landed right in front of Mo Lin.
"What does it matter if you beat me? If you have the guts, kill me."
The man in black pointed to the second floor, angrily shouting, "Xu Yuemo is a beast, she killed her husband.
Refined her son into a Corpse Person, and treated her daughter as a gift to others, forcing the daughter to commit suicide.
These things are true, can't I even talk about them?"
A face filled with killing intent emerged from the second-floor window.
"Lu Zhan, shut up, don't think that just because you're the eldest of the Lu Family, I won't dare kill you."
"Kill me if you have the guts, just kill me, anyway I don't want to live."
Lu Zhan shouted angrily, "It's all because I had no ability, couldn't avenge Su Yunling, if I had the power, I'd kill all of you."
Lu Zhan shouted angrily, paying no attention to the wounds on his own face.
Lu Zhan pointed at the people on the second floor, cursing and swearing.
His whole body reeked of alcohol, as if he'd drunk a lot.
Seeing him drunkenly rage around, people around were already used to it.
A feeling of accustomedness.
For years, Lu Zhan often cursed Xu Yuemo while drunk.
Lu Zhan slowly stood up, wobbling as he walked, very unsteady.
As if he could fall anytime.
"Get out!" Lu Zhan swung his hand, trying to push Mo Lin away.
The moment his hand touched Mo Lin, it felt like pushing against a mountain.
No matter how much strength he used, he couldn't move Mo Lin even a bit.
Lu Zhan sobered up a little, unconsciously stepping back two steps.
"You know Su Yunling?" Mo Lin asked Lu Zhan slowly.
Lu Zhan's body trembled violently, filled with disbelief.
Here, besides him, absolutely no one dared mention Su Yunling's name.
This group of people feared Xu Yuemo.
"Who are you?" Lu Zhan asked Mo Lin cautiously.
"I'm a friend of Su Yunling."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan instantly sobered up, entirely sober.
He grabbed Mo Lin's arm, leading him to a secluded place.
"Brother, is Su Yunling alright?" Lu Zhan showed a concerned expression, seemingly very worried about Su Yunling.
"She's dead." Mo Lin answered Lu Zhan truthfully.
Upon hearing that Su Yunling died, Lu Zhan's expression stiffened.
"Dead... is she dead?"
Lu Zhan's face looked particularly grim, as if he'd lost his soul. He introduced himself to Mo Lin, "I was her childhood friend, my name is Lu Zhan."
"I'm here to avenge Su Yunling." Mo Lin stated his purpose.
"Avenge?"
Lu Zhan frowned slightly, doubting the truth of Mo Lin's words.
After all, revenge is no joke.
The opponent is Xu Yuemo, and there are other families involved.
"I promised Su Yunling to avenge her."
Mo Lin spoke to Lu Zhan slowly, "Since you're Su Yunling's childhood friend, can you lend a hand?"
Lu Zhan, thinking of something, suddenly smiled.
"I'm tired of living, I'll just accompany you to try."
Uttering this, Lu Zhan embraced a belief of certain death.
Dead is dead.
Better than having done nothing all these years.
"How do you want me to help?"
"Take me to Su Yunling's enemies, all of them." Mo Lin spoke to Lu Zhan slowly.
"Alright, I'll take you to my home."
Saying so, Lu Zhan led the way in front, Mo Lin followed him.
"My brother, was one of the people who harmed Su Yunling's sister back then."
Lu Zhan didn't have a good relationship with his brother.
His brother killed their father to gain power and took over the position of Lu Family Patriarch.
Lu Zhan had always harbored resentment over this.
The Lu Family was located at the city's center, just a ten-minute walk.
Lu Zhan led Mo Lin into the Lu Family.
Up ahead, a young man in a golden coat frowned at Lu Zhan's drunken appearance.
"You waste, been drinking again?"
Lu Jin angrily scolded Lu Zhan, "Really don't understand how the Lu Family has someone as useless as you.
If it weren't for the parent-child curse between us, I'd have killed you."
Lu Jin didn't kill Lu Zhan, he simply couldn't.
Since a young age, they had been cursed with a parent-child curse by their mother.
If either of them died, the other would too.
It's for this reason that Lu Jin always kept Lu Zhan alive.
"Heard you were cursing Madam Xu outside again?"
Lu Jin rushed in front of Lu Zhan, angrily shouting, "Can you be a bit more rational?
Stop cursing Madam Xu outside.
If not for my sake, Madam Xu would have sent people to kill you long ago."
"I know you're still stuck on Su Yunling's matter.
It's been years, you should let it go."
Lu Zhan pointed at Lu Jin, angrily shouting, "What about you killing father?
Should I let that go too?
Just because father intended to pass the Lu Family to me, you killed him?"
Lu Jin took a deep breath, cursing, "Damn thing!"
Right then, Lu Zhan took out the dagger he'd prepared long ago.
Slashing it directly across Lu Jin's throat.
Lu Jin's neck bled like a faucet.
Lu Zhan had prepared this dagger years ago.
For precisely this day.
Previously not daring to kill Lu Jin was due to lack of courage.
After all, with Lu Jin dead, he wouldn't survive half a month.
Mo Lin said Su Yunling was dead.
Lu Zhan suddenly found the courage.
With Su Yunling dead, he felt there was no point in living.
Lu Jin clutched his throat, blood flowing uncontrollably, dripping through his fingers onto the ground.
He looked at his brother in disbelief.
Never did he imagine, that his brother would dare kill him.
Knowing full well, his brother wouldn't survive either upon his death.
