The clothes on Zhu Ci were not only covered in dust, but also extremely worn out.
His hair was greasy all over, looking quite disgusting.
Who knows how long it had been since he last bathed or changed his clothes.
He looked more disheveled than a beggar.
Zhu Ci walked over to Mo Lin, a stench wafting through the air.
It was too smelly.
It was like the smell of rotten eggs.
Mo Lin instinctively stepped back, "Zhu Ci, why are you back?
Didn't you leave Hongzhou?"
"Mo, I missed you, I couldn't stand being away, so I came back to find you." Zhu Ci shouted hoarsely at Mo Lin.
Mo Lin didn't believe a word of his ghost story.
"Speak the truth."
"Alright then, I almost died out there."
Zhu Ci complained to Mo Lin, "I feel safer by your side."
Judging by Zhu Ci's sorry state, he had suffered a lot outside.
His hair was like a bird's nest, covered in grease and grime.
"Outside, there are Yellow Springs Ladies chasing me, and there are Evil Spirits too, but I'm not afraid of Evil Spirits.
But I can't handle the Yellow Springs Ladies.
I almost died several times."
Zhu Ci had no choice, so he came to find Mo Lin.
He didn't want to return to Hongzhou, but he had no choice.
Outside, it was too dangerous.
There were Evil Spirits and Yellow Springs Ghosts outside, so for Zhu Ci, it was safer here with Mo Lin.
After much consideration, he decided to come to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, something occurred to him, and his eyes gleamed.
"Help me with something."
"What is it?" Zhu Ci asked Mo Lin confusedly.
"Go to the Underworld Yedou." Mo Lin wanted Zhu Ci to go to the Underworld and bring all the ghosts from Yedou.
"Are you serious?" Zhu Ci asked Mo Lin in shock.
Going to the Underworld, isn't that the same as asking him to die?
The Underworld is a place for the dead.
How would a living person go to the Underworld?
Zhu Ci was stunned upon hearing Mo Lin's words.
He found it unbelievable.
"I am serious."
Mo Lin said to Zhu Ci solemnly, "Go to Yedou in the Underworld, give them my name, and bring all the ghosts to me.
I will eliminate the Gen Family and kill the Evil Spirits."
"Yedou? Ghosts?"
Zhu Ci stared at Mo Lin in amazement, "Mo, you can't be joking, can you?"
Mo Lin's words sounded too absurd.
Who in their right mind would have contact with Yedou?
Only the dead go to Yedou, right?
Those who go to Yedou are all ghosts.
Living people shouldn't be associated with the Underworld, right?
"I'm serious." Mo Lin replied seriously to Zhu Ci.
Now, Mo Lin couldn't leave Hongzhou, so he had to leave this matter to Zhu Ci.
"Mo, you're making things difficult for me. I'm a living person, I can't go to the Underworld, let alone Yedou."
Zhu Ci suddenly thought of something and asked Mo Lin, "You didn't go to Yedou, did you?"
"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.
Zhu Ci's eyes were wide open, and he gave Mo Lin a thumbs up.
"Impressive!"
Zhu Ci wasn't just paying lip service to Mo Lin, he truly admired Mo Lin.
Who in their right mind dares to go to Yedou?
Who goes to Yedou like returning home?
Not to mention Yedou, even the Underworld is inaccessible.
As long as one is alive, they cannot enter the Underworld.
For this moment, Mo Lin felt special.
Previously, Mo Lin entered Yedou relying on the Yellow Springs Book.
Later, after learning the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill, with Ghost Qi within his body, he could pass through the gates of the Underworld.
Only Mo Lin was special, able to enter the Underworld.
"Go to the Shu Region, find Cui Xinyun, let her go to the Underworld and bring all the ghosts for me." Mo Lin thought of a compromise.
Cui Xinyun had been to the Underworld before, and she also had the Judge's Pen, allowing her to enter the Underworld.
And Mo Lin's ghosts trusted Cui Xinyun.
So finding Cui Xinyun was the best choice.
"Human Immortal Cui Xinyun? You actually know her?"
Zhu Ci seemed like a child who had never seen the world, shocked repeatedly.
Cui Xinyun was renowned as the most beautiful Human Immortal.
Her strength and appearance were not to be underestimated.
Who would have thought Mo Lin actually knew Cui Xinyun?
Zhu Ci was very fortunate that he wasn't Mo Lin's mortal enemy.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Mo Lin.
Not to mention Mo Lin's many techniques, even just his connections were enough to make Zhu Ci wary.
"Cui Xinyun is in the Shu Region, you go find her." Nowadays, Mo Lin could only rely on Zhu Ci.
"Mo, I risked my life to come to you, and within a minute of meeting, you want me to do something for you, is that appropriate?"
Zhu Ci complained to Mo Lin, "Do you know how tired I am?
If I leave Hongzhou, what if I'm chased by the Yellow Springs Lady again?
What if I die at the hands of an Evil Spirit?
Do you know how dangerous it is outside?"
Zhu Ci was extremely reluctant to leave Hongzhou, leaving Hongzhou was too dangerous.
What Zhu Ci feared most was being chased by the Yellow Springs Lady.
For him, Hongzhou was the safest place.
"As long as you can help me bring the Yedou ghosts, I'll help you deal with the Yellow Springs Lady." Mo Lin seriously told Zhu Ci.
"Really?"
Zhu Ci exclaimed with joy, excitement flashing in his eyes.
The Yellow Springs Lady was a constant worry for him, because of her, Zhu Ci found it hard to sleep every day.
If Mo Lin is truly willing to help him with the matter of the Yellow Springs Lady, Zhu Ci naturally couldn't wish for more.
"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.
"Can you really help me with the Yellow Springs Lady?" Zhu Ci looked at Mo Lin with a doubtful expression.
He wanted to know if Mo Lin was just placating him.
"I can." Mo Lin said seriously to Zhu Ci: "I will use the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill to help you deal with the Yellow Springs Female Ghost.
If I cannot help you resolve this, then no one in this world can help you with the Yellow Springs Female Ghost."
"Alright, I believe you." Zhu Ci had no other choice; he could only choose Mo Lin.
There was no second option.
"Go to the Shu Region and mention my name; there should be many who recognize me. Just explain your origins then." Mo Lin advised Zhu Ci.
"Alright, no problem."
Zhu Ci patted his chest and promised Mo Lin: "Leave this little task to me.
With absolute certainty, I will complete it for you."
Zhu Ci was too tired to complain.
Nor did he mention how dangerous it was outside anymore.
All reluctance disappeared.
As long as he could solve the Yellow Springs Female Ghost issue, even if he had to enter a sea of fire, Zhu Ci was willing to try.
For him, this was the only chance to resolve the Yellow Springs Female Ghost issue.
Zhu Ci had to seize this opportunity.
"I heard you went to the Gen Family for trouble? Are you alright?" Zhu Ci scrutinized Mo Lin, checking if he was injured.
The Gen Family was the local tyrant in Hongzhou, and Mo Lin provoking them, even if he didn't die, he should've been severely hurt.
Zhu Ci looked Mo Lin over, surprised to find him completely unscathed, not the slightest bruise.
"I'm fine." Mo Lin replied slowly.
Zhu Ci gave Mo Lin a thumbs-up, praising him: "Impressive."
It far exceeded Zhu Ci's expectations that Mo Lin could walk out of the Gen Family unharmed.
The Gen Family was no small clan.
Before the supernatural emerged, the Gen Family was already a prominent Daoist family.
After the supernatural arrived, the Gen Family rose even higher, becoming an unshakeable pillar.
Zhu Ci thought a bit, frowned, and asked Mo Lin: "Aren't you tired after offending so many factions?"
He was being subtle, but Zhu Ci meant to say that Mo Lin would eventually meet a terrible fate for offending so many people.
"They provoked me first." Mo Lin solemnly said to Zhu Ci.
Mo Lin never intended to oppose the Gen Family.
But the Gen Family repeatedly crossed Mo Lin's bottom line, so he turned against them.
"Just bear it, can't you? You're offending the Gen Family like this, you might die in Hongzhou." Zhu Ci cautiously reminded Mo Lin.
He wasn't cursing Mo Lin, just stating a fact.
"Why should I tolerate it?"
Mo Lin refuted Zhu Ci: "I did no wrong, why should I suffer?
Be bullied and still endure? Why?"
Mo Lin's words left Zhu Ci stunned.
Indeed, why?
After all, Mo Lin was not at fault.
Zhu Ci opened his mouth, wanting to say more but stopped, opting to change the subject.
Thus, Zhu Ci left Hongzhou to help Mo Lin find Cui Xinyun.
....
Gen Family Ancestral Hall.
Black spiritual tablets stood around the hall.
There were at least several hundred tablets.
The setup here was similar to that of a Buddhist Temple, only here they worshiped the deceased ancestors.
Geng Hong knelt before the tablets, recounting the earlier events.
Clusters of black shadows drifted around the hall.
These shadows emitted voices.
These shadows were ghosts.
These ghosts were the ancestors of the Gen Family.
Who knows what methods the Gen Family used to keep their ancestors in the human realm.
"Force Mo Lin to leave Hongzhou, and we will find a way to kill him."
"Let Mo Lin leave Hongzhou, we ancestors will surely eliminate him."
"Deal with Mo Lin as we did with Cui Xinyun."
"Exactly, as long as Mo Lin leaves Hongzhou, we will ensure his demise."
"Ancestor, Mo Lin is formidable; he has two types of Divine Fire." Geng Hong cautiously reminded.
If they intended to act against Mo Lin, it was best to succeed in one attempt.
If they failed to kill Mo Lin the first time, the second attempt would be much harder.
"We can end Mo Lin with a Ghost Array."
"Indeed, leave it to us." The shadow floated in the air and softly spoke.
"Go call Gen Wubing over," a shadow ordered Geng Hong.
Geng Hong shivered, his legs trembling uncontrollably, "Ancestor, my son is still young...."
Geng Hong stopped mid-sentence.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" The shadow appeared before Geng Hong, questioning him.
Geng Hong hastily shook his head, "No.. I'm not."
"You cannot handle Mo Lin, to deal with him, I must possess Gen Wubing." The shadow reprimanded Geng Hong.
Geng Hong furrowed his brows tightly.
To put it nicely, it's possession; harshly, it's occupying Gen Wubing's body.
Geng Hong understood this ancestor wanted to use his son's body to revive.
Yet he had no alternative.
His son was incapable of upholding the Gen Family's burden.
"For the Gen Family, we must sacrifice your son."
"No sacrifice, no gain."
"Geng Hong, are you unwilling?" Several ghostly figures questioned Geng Hong.
"I'm willing, I'll call my son over now." Geng Hong reluctantly agreed.
For the entire Gen Family's future, sacrificing his son was the only option.
There were no other choices.
Compared to the entire Gen Family, sacrificing his son was a small matter.
Sons can be reborn, but without the Gen Family, everything is lost.
As for dealing with Mo Lin, these ancestors would have to act.
Geng Hong himself had some means, but he wouldn't use them unless absolutely necessary.
