Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 827: Chapter 825: Instant Kill

"The rumor is true?" Liuer Badao asked Mo Lin doubtfully.

Although he’d already guessed most of it in his heart, he still couldn’t help asking.

Seeing Mo Lin not speak, Liuer Badao spoke again.

"This news came from Luo Li’s side.

Luo Li is skilled in divination, very powerful."

"Even if you do have the Netherlord Investiture Book, you must never admit it."

As long as Mo Lin didn’t admit it, Mo Lin having the Netherlord Investiture Book would remain just a guess.

Mo Lin sat in the chair, his right index finger tapping the tabletop, thinking about what came next.

Now that he had Immortal Coins, he could imitate Six-Eared Mingyue and go into seclusion to condense pure-colored Immortal Qi.

Or he could use the Immortal Coins for something else.

Seeing that Liuer Badao was unwilling to leave, Mo Lin asked doubtfully, "What is it? Something else?"

"Several juniors from our clan were set up and are now trapped in Qinghai Mountain, can you go once?"

Liuer Badao now had clan affairs to handle and simply couldn’t get away, so he wanted to hand this matter over to Mo Lin.

With Mo Lin’s current Netherlord Realm strength, going to Qinghai Mountain to bring people out wasn’t a difficult task.

"Alright." Mo Lin thought for a moment, then agreed.

He was friends with Six-Eared Mingyue; if the Six-Eared Race ran into trouble, it was nothing for Mo Lin to lend a hand.

If he ran into Immortal Cultivators, Mo Lin could even earn some Immortal Coins.

All in all, it was a sure-win, no-loss deal.

After Liuer Badao told Mo Lin the exact location of Qinghai Mountain, Mo Lin set off for Qinghai Mountain.

.....

Qinghai Mountain.

Liuer Mingxi was currently leading three clansmen, fleeing for their lives.

They had originally come with over a dozen people, but after being hunted down, only four survived.

Apart from the Six-Eared Race, other clans had come too.

For example, the Jin Family and the Zhao Family.

Both of these great families had sent disciples.

They had all come here to carry out the same mission.

To kill someone named Qing Shi.

As long as they killed this person, the ancient dynasty would reward them with one Immortal Coin.

The Jin Family currently still had six people alive.

The Zhao Family still had three people left.

"We can’t just keep running like this." Jin Qi stopped and said slowly.

At the same time, Liuer Mingxi and the others also stopped one after another, panting heavily as they took a brief rest.

"You have a better idea?" Liuer Mingxi asked Jin Qi.

Jin Qi was the one with the highest cultivation level here; he was an Immortal Cultivator with one strand of pure-colored Immortal Qi.

"Brother Jin, any good plan? I’ll listen to you." A man from the Zhao Family who had some say, named Zhao Xi, chimed in.

"Sacrifice a few to buy a way out for the rest." Jin Qi said slowly.

In his view, this was the only viable path now.

Leave a small group behind to stall for time, giving the others a chance to survive.

Before Liuer Mingxi could speak, Zhao Xi cut in first.

"Liuer Mingxi, you few stay here and cover for our Zhao Family and the Jin Family to escape."

Hearing these shameless words, Liuer Mingxi’s face instantly darkened.

She had seen people without shame, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as Zhao Xi.

"Get lost..." Liuer Mingxi refused on the spot.

Have them stay behind and die?

Give Zhao Xi and Jin Qi a shot at living—did they take her for an idiot?

"Someone has to die anyway, better it be your Six-Eared clan."

Zhao Xi continued, "Sacrifice you lot so our two families can get a way out."

"Sacrifice your damn legs." Liuer Mingxi cursed outright.

She really didn’t know how Zhao Xi had the face to say that.

As they were arguing, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

The sound drew closer.

Liuer Mingxi and the others instantly tensed up, staring warily ahead.

A black silhouette slowly walked out.

Mo Lin had heard people talking, so he followed the sound over.

"Brother Mo Lin?" Liuer Mingxi exclaimed when she saw it was Mo Lin.

She was both shocked and delighted; she’d guessed someone from the clan would come save them.

She hadn’t expected that person to be Mo Lin.

Seeing the smell of blood on Liuer Mingxi, Mo Lin asked doubtfully, "Someone died?"

Liuer Mingxi nodded. "Mm."

"Qing Shi is too strong, we’re no match for him."

"You came alone?" Jin Qi probed Mo Lin.

"Yeah." Mo Lin nodded.

Jin Qi instantly fell into despair; he covered his face with his right hand and said hopelessly,

"Is your Six-Eared clan really out of people?

Sending one guy over—this is just sending him to die.

That Qing Shi is an Immortal Cultivator with three strands of pure-colored Immortal Qi.

What can you do alone?

Get yourself killed?"

Mo Lin ignored Jin Qi and said calmly to Liuer Mingxi, "Let’s go."

Mo Lin was here to save people, not to argue with Jin Qi.

Liuer Mingxi nodded and followed behind Mo Lin.

Seeing Mo Lin and the others about to leave, Jin Qi also followed along.

Right now, they could only huddle together for warmth.

They walked for about ten minutes or so.

There was a small path leading out here.

From deep within the path came a terrifying aura.

The moment Jin Qi, Zhao Xi and the others sensed that dreadful aura, they all stopped in their tracks.

Clearly, Qing Shi was blocking this path.

The other side obviously didn’t intend to let them leave alive.

Seeing Mo Lin still pressing forward, Jin Qi cried out,

"Hey... are you crazy?

Can’t you feel that terrifying aura?"

Mo Lin stopped, then asked Jin Qi in return, "And then?"

"Of course we go around Qing Shi and take another route."

Jin Qi scoffed, "And you’re still going forward—are you trying to die?

Qing Shi is an Immortal Cultivator with three strands of pure-colored Immortal Qi.

You run into him and you’ll be erased in minutes."

With that, Jin Qi turned and led a few people away.

At the same time, Zhao Xi was looking at Mo Lin like he was an idiot.

In his eyes, what Mo Lin was doing was pure brainlessness.

Mo Lin acted as if he hadn’t heard Jin Qi and kept walking forward.

Seeing that Mo Lin ignored their warning and kept going, Jin Qi and Zhao Xi both let out mocking smiles.

"Let him go die; we’ll take the long way around."

"With him drawing Qing Shi’s attention, we’ll have a few more chances to get out."

Liuer Mingxi led a few people behind Mo Lin.

The terrifying aura drew nearer and nearer.

Finally... Mo Lin saw Qing Shi’s face.

He had a sword hanging at his waist, wore a blue robe, and had delicate features.

He gave off a refined, scholarly vibe.

"You knew I was here and still dared to come?" Qing Shi snorted when he saw Mo Lin.

Liuer Mingxi followed behind Mo Lin, nervously swallowing.

She had personally witnessed Qing Shi’s strength.

Even someone with four strands of pure-colored Immortal Qi might not gain any advantage against Qing Shi.

"Out of my way." Mo Lin’s cold two words made Liuer Mingxi’s scalp go numb.

This tone, this style of doing things—very much Mo Lin.

"You..." Qing Shi had just opened his mouth.

"Ssshhk!"

A streak of purple-cyan Sword Qi slashed down from the front.

Qing Shi was cut in half on the spot by this Sword Qi, blood spraying through the air.

Qing Shi’s pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief.

"Dead?" Liuer Mingxi cried out.

Her shock at this moment was in no way less than Qing Shi’s.

One-shot?
