Chapter 75: Chapter 73: Mandatory Question
"That’s right, we once belonged to Yedou."
The old woman’s voice was low as she slowly rose, walked to the table in front, and lit three more incense sticks.
It was a wooden red table, on which was placed an incense burner, and directly in front of it was a statue of King Yan.
"Seven years ago, when the ghosts descended on Earth, we still had contact with Yedou. As long as we burned some paper money for King Yan, many small matters could be addressed by Yedou’s Ghost Messengers."
Suddenly, the old woman’s tone changed, and everything changed a year later.
No matter how we tried to communicate with Yedou, there was no response.
At that time, when ghosts invaded Earth, people like us who dealt with the Underworld were the easiest targets for ghosts.
To protect themselves, many Ghost Witches like me chose to communicate with ghosts from the Ghost Realm.
Some chose to cooperate with the Naihe Bridge line.
The old woman narrated the whole story to Mo Lin.
The main reason they betrayed Yedou was due to an inability to connect with them.
"Stop lighting them..."
Mo Lin impatiently said as he watched the old woman light three more incense sticks, "This mesmerizing ghost incense doesn’t affect me."
Upon entering the room, Mo Lin saw the old woman lighting incense.
This incense had no side effects on humans.
But for ghosts, it was deadly.
It could mesmerize ghosts.
For Mo Lin, it had no effect since she was human, not a ghost.
The old woman’s body suddenly froze, her little trick exposed.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
"Communicate with Yedou using your method, let me see." Mo Lin slowly said to the old woman.
"Alright." The old woman nodded.
She found some incense, lit it, knelt on the ground, and muttered something unknown.
Soon, the incense smoke could be seen entering the statue of King Yan directly in front.
Logically, Yedou should have received the old woman’s call.
But why was there no response?
The only explanation was that someone in Yedou was causing trouble.
This was Mo Lin’s current guess.
"No need to show, I understand." Mo Lin signaled for the old woman to stop.
The old woman extinguished the incense and returned to her seat.
"I want to know about the Ghost Realm." What Mo Lin cared most about was the Ghost Realm.
"The powerful ghost from the Ghost Realm has come to Yun Chuan, you should be able to meet soon." The old woman replied unhurriedly.
"For the mistake I made, I am willing to take responsibility."
The old woman looked down at her granddaughter, gently patting her on the head, and said.
"I only have this one granddaughter, I beg you to spare her."
"I can let your granddaughter go, but you must help me deal with the Ghost Realm." Mo Lin said simply.
The old woman hesitated, glancing at the two ghosts behind her.
Mo Lin could tell that the ghosts in the room were from the Ghost Realm.
The old woman frequently glanced at the two ghosts behind her.
She was mainly afraid of being harmed by these two ghosts.
These ghosts were likely sent by the Ghost Realm to monitor her.
"You don’t need to worry about these two ghosts."
As the words fell, Mo Lin reached out to grab one ghost by the head.
At this moment, the other ghost was ready to flee.
Mo Lin waved her hand, using the Ghost Skill, Soul Chain.
An iron chain emerged from Mo Lin’s hand, tightly binding the ghost that was about to flee.
The ghost in Mo Lin’s grasp struggled to escape.
Mo Lin backhanded a slap forcefully across the ghost’s face.
This slap seemed simple, but it was not complicated.
The ghost was caught off guard, losing the ability to resist for a moment.
Mo Lin gave the two ghosts no opportunity to escape.
Mo Lin waved her hand, grabbing one ghost, and then moved again to grab the other ghost.
From the moment Mo Lin took action to grabbing both ghosts, it took less than two minutes.
The two ghosts were subdued by Mo Lin in no time.
Two more ghost records were added to the Ghost Suppression Book.
"Name: Rong Feng
Level: Nightmare Level
Skill: Ghost Shadow (releases a clone)
Netherworld Currency Output: 80 yuan (daily)"
"Name: Gan Liangjun
Level: Nightmare Level
Skill: Soul Capturing
Netherworld Currency Output: 80 yuan (daily)"
Mo Lin successfully subdued ten ghosts.
A light flashed on the first page of the Ghost Suppression Book, followed by a notification.
[Congratulations on completing the task, Netherworld Currency income increased tenfold.]
Seeing this message, Mo Lin couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
So happy!
Income increased tenfold!
Mo Lin looked again at the description in the Ghost Suppression Book.
"Name: Gan Liangjun
Level: Nightmare Level
Skill: Soul Capturing
Netherworld Currency Output: 800 yuan (daily)"
Sure enough, the income had multiplied tenfold.
It truly was a windfall from the heavens.
Roughly calculating.
Mo Lin now owned ten Nightmare Level ghosts, with a daily income of 8000 Netherworld Currency.
Oh my...
Ten days would be 80,000 Netherworld Currency...
One month would be 240,000 Netherworld Currency.
In a few decades, Mo Lin’s personal wealth might even surpass the entire Yedou’s assets.
"Are you okay?" the old woman asked in confusion as she saw Mo Lin giggling.
"I’m fine, really fine." Mo Lin restrained his smile and replied slowly.
"Those ghosts just now were arranged here by the Ghost Realm, right?" Mo Lin asked the Ghost Witch.
"Yes." The Ghost Witch nodded.
"I’ll give you a choice, align with the Ghost Realm, or choose to side with me."
Mo Lin seemed to present a choice.
But it was really a compulsory question.
How would the Ghost Witch choose?
Choosing the Ghost Realm at this point would be courting death, wouldn’t it?
"I choose to side with you." the old woman slowly replied.
"Okay."
The old woman’s choice was within Mo Lin’s expectations.
Mo Lin raised her hand, her black ring emitting a stream of Ghost Qi.
Then a dozen ghosts appeared.
Among them, the most formidable ghost was of a Dangerous Level.
These ghosts were the little ghosts cultivated by Mo Lin.
"These ghosts are for you." Mo Lin said unhurriedly to the old woman.
Though it sounded as if she was given these ghosts.
In reality, these ghosts also served to monitor her.
Of course, they also served to protect her.
As for raising ghosts, the old woman had her own methods, which Mo Lin was not interested in interfering with.
Mo Lin and the old woman exchanged contacts, "When I need your help, I’ll message you."
After settling these matters, Mo Lin left.
Zhuge Mingyue left together with Mo Lin.
"Is that it? Aren’t you afraid that old woman will stab you in the back?" Zhuge Mingyue asked Mo Lin in confusion.
"Smart people generally don’t do stupid things."
"You are truly confident." Zhuge Mingyue said slowly.
Having resolved these issues, Mo Lin saw Zhuge Mingyue to the hotel and then returned home alone.
"Ring ring..."
Mo Lin’s phone rang.
As the call connected, a deep voice came from the phone.
"The day after tomorrow at seven in the evening, those selling Yin Messengers will come to Jin Ancestral Hall, come then."
Before Mo Lin could ask anything, the person on the other end hung up.
After this call, Mo Lin stood up from the sofa, a sliver of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
What was meant to come, finally came.
Mo Lin lay looking at her phone video.
Above was a video explaining the learning of the Qi Manipulation Technique.
While it seemed simple, it wasn’t complicated.
Just follow the method in the video to sense the existence of Qi.
This Qi was called the Innate Qi.
It took Mo Lin more than five hours to sense the existence of Qi.
