The earlier incident was just a minor interlude; for Mo Lin, it wasn't something particularly important.

A few hours later, Mo Lin finally arrived in the Shu Region.

He came to this place once more, the Shen Family Stronghold.

The first time Mo Lin came to the Shu Region was to this place.

When everyone saw Mo Lin, they all gazed at him with respect.

After all, Mo Lin had saved this village.

If it weren't for Mo Lin subduing Chen Ghost before, who knows how many people in this village would have died due to the lack of Netherworld Currency.

"Lord Mo Lin, you've returned." A woman greeted Mo Lin respectfully.

It was only then that Mo Lin noticed that the villagers seemed quite disheveled.

Some had messy hair, while others bore scars on their arms.

Very fresh scars, clearly inflicted in the past few days.

"Lord Mo Lin, you've returned."

Seeing Mo Lin return, the group greeted him.

Only then did Mo Lin notice, at a distance by the riverside, bodies were laid out.

These bodies were covered with white cloth.

"Why are there more dead people?" Mo Lin asked, puzzled upon seeing the deceased.

"No matter." The woman shook her head, answering Mo Lin.

Mo Lin had already subdued Chen Ghost, so logically, people shouldn't be dying anymore.

The sight of the bodies made Mo Lin feel something was odd.

Just as Mo Lin was perplexed, Cui Xinyun arrived.

Cui Xinyun wore a red coat, her lips pale, clearly showing her wounds hadn't healed yet.

"The deaths of so many are tied to you." Cui Xinyun said slowly to Mo Lin.

The nearby woman quickly interrupted.

"No... this matter has nothing to do with Lord Mo Lin, it was our choice."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with Lord Mo Lin."

"This was our choice," several others echoed.

Mo Lin listened, thoroughly bewildered.

What are they talking about?

He had no idea what this group was discussing.

It was as if Mo Lin was listening to some celestial explanation.

Seeing Mo Lin's face full of confusion, Cui Xinyun explained to him, "These people were fighting with you for the Immortal inheritance."

"There was a conflict with people from another village, and the two villages fought, resulting in some deaths."

Only then did Mo Lin understand the situation.

Mo Lin had rescued the people of Shen Family Stronghold.

This group wanted to repay Mo Lin's kindness, so they aimed to help him secure some Immortal inheritance.

They clashed with people from another village.

The people from the other village also wanted the Immortal inheritance, which led to a battle.

But it wasn't an ordinary brawl.

It was a life-and-death battle, which caused many deaths.

"No matter, no matter, these are just minor things."

At this moment, Divine Doctor Shen came from afar and chimed in.

"Lord Mo Lin, the decision to fight for the Immortal inheritance was made unanimously by all of us.

This group is willing to sacrifice their lives for this matter."

Mo Lin opened his mouth, the words at his lips were swallowed back.

He truly needed the Immortal inheritance.

Mo Lin was desperate for progress.

If he had an Immortal inheritance in hand, dealing with Xin Ziruo would be easier.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Mo Lin asked Divine Doctor Shen.

"This is a conflict between our Shen Family Stronghold and Wei Village, you outsiders can't help." Divine Doctor Shen explained to Mo Lin.

The matter of the Immortal inheritance was something for the strongholds to handle.

An outsider like Mo Lin was not allowed to interfere.

Not only was Mo Lin forbidden to participate, but all outsiders were prohibited from getting involved.

"Thank you." Mo Lin thanked Divine Doctor Shen earnestly.

Divine Doctor Shen's kindness was immense.

The only thing Mo Lin could do was verbally express his gratitude.

"You helped our village solve a problem, no need to be so polite." Divine Doctor Shen replied gently to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin didn't say anything more.

Saying too much would appear overly sentimental.

"Why have you come?" Cui Xinyun asked Mo Lin.

She had thought Mo Lin would come to the Shu Region at least in a month, if not longer.

She was surprised to see Mo Lin return so quickly.

"I need to go to the Underworld to resolve my enmity with the Ghost Realm." Mo Lin didn't hide from Cui Xinyun and responded directly to her.

This was Mo Lin's purpose.

Cui Xinyun immediately understood the general situation.

"I want to go too." Cui Xinyun said slowly to Mo Lin, "The Ghost Realm is related to the destruction of our Naihe Bridge lineage."

Back then, when the Naihe Bridge lineage was eradicated, Cui Xinyun couldn't assist, and this matter had always been a hurdle in her heart.

So, this time, she wanted to accompany Mo Lin to the Ghost Realm.

The primary reason was to help Mo Lin resolve his problem.

The second reason was to understand the Underworld's situation and learn about the Evil Spirits there.

"You can't go. A living body can't enter the Underworld." Mo Lin said directly to Cui Xinyun.

Unless Cui Xinyun's soul left her body, she couldn't enter the Underworld.

But the risks were too great that way.

"Why can you enter the Underworld then?" Cui Xinyun asked Mo Lin, dissatisfied.

This was also her biggest curiosity.

This curiosity had been in her heart for many years.

The first time she met Mo Lin, she had this question in her heart.

How could Mo Lin, living, enter the Underworld?

"I have the Yellow Springs Book." As he spoke, Mo Lin took out a book.

Cui Xinyun immediately understood that this book was Mo Lin's secret.

The Yellow Springs Book, she had heard of it, and she had once seen someone with the Yellow Springs Book.

It was a woman who had precognitive abilities.

Before Cui Xinyun could respond, Mo Lin said again, "The Underworld is too dangerous; don't go.

I fear I can't protect you."

These were Mo Lin's heartfelt words.

He was truly worried he couldn't protect Cui Xinyun.

Mo Lin himself was at risk.

Since Mo Lin said this, Cui Xinyun didn't say anything further and nodded, then replied to Mo Lin, "Alright, I understand."

Thus, Mo Lin set out, directly heading to the Underworld.

To go to the Underworld, one must pass through Ghost Mountain.

Upon arriving at Ghost Mountain, Mo Lin encountered Du Fu again.

Du Fu was standing outside Ghost Mountain, welcoming Mo Lin; evidently, he already knew what Mo Lin intended to do.

It wasn't just Du Fu there.

All the ghosts Mo Lin had arranged earlier were present as well.

At this moment, this crowd was waiting for Mo Lin's command.

"All ghosts, follow me to the Ghost Realm." Mo Lin commanded.

Thousands of ghosts now followed Mo Lin as they headed to the Ghost Realm together.

At the same time, Mo Lin released all the ghosts from the Yellow Springs Book.

At this moment, over ten thousand ghosts followed behind Mo Lin.

These ghosts were ones Mo Lin had captured over the years.

Led by Bing Yu, Chu Xing, and Hong Ye.

These three ghosts had been cultivated by Mo Lin to the realm of Yin Gods.

Du Fu also followed alongside Mo Lin, going to the Ghost Realm together.

Du Fu's situation was special; he had cultivated an evil cultivation technique, allowing him to enter the Underworld.

The group proceeded on their way.

They encountered some Little Ghosts on the way.

These Little Ghosts, upon seeing Mo Lin's figure, immediately fled.

A large black gate was blocking the way ahead.

Beyond this gate lay the Underworld.
