Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 836: Chapter 834: Entangled

Mo Lin followed Cui Xinyun to meet the emperor.

The extent of this empire’s territory was unclear.

The atmosphere here was peaceful and harmonious.

It seemed that as soon as Mo Lin and Cui Xinyun entered the Da Li Empire, the emperor sensed their presence.

They walked along the main road.

Patrolling guards could be seen everywhere.

All these people possessed pure Immortal Qi, at the very least.

Scanning the crowd, ninety percent of them had pure Immortal Qi.

Soon, Mo Lin and Cui Xinyun arrived at a palace.

The palace exuded an ancient and solemn aura.

A general dressed in armor stood at the entrance.

The general had a sword at his waist and looked dignified.

"This way, please." Upon seeing Mo Lin and Cui Xinyun, the general gestured for them to follow him.

Mo Lin and Cui Xinyun were led into a courtyard.

The courtyard was large, with a pavilion in the center.

Lotus flowers were planted in the courtyard.

A man wearing a black Dragon Robe slowly appeared.

A golden dragon was depicted on his black Dragon Robe.

The moment Mo Lin saw his face, he was taken aback.

He was very young.

He looked about the same age as Mo Lin.

But he gave off an impression of deep cunning.

This was the Emperor of Da Li.

"Your Majesty, I wish to borrow the Immortal Execution Array," Cui Xinyun directly stated to the Emperor of Da Li.

"To deal with the Lord of War, Chiyou, who just awoke in the South District?" the Emperor of Da Li asked.

"Yes." Cui Xinyun nodded slowly.

The Emperor of Da Li did not answer immediately. He surveyed Mo Lin with his eyes and said, "A Netherlord Realm from Yedou.

Quite formidable."

This was his assessment of Mo Lin.

Then the Emperor of Da Li changed his tone and said solemnly, "I can lend you the Immortal Execution Array, but I have conditions."

This was his real intention.

Of course, this was within Cui Xinyun’s expectation.

The Immortal Execution Array was not an ordinary object.

The Emperor of Da Li would certainly require something of equal value in exchange for it.

He couldn’t just give it away for free.

"What are the conditions?" Cui Xinyun asked slowly.

"I need you to help me find an incense stick..."

Before the Emperor of Da Li finished his sentence, Cui Xinyun immediately said, "Agreed."

In fact, no matter what conditions the Emperor of Da Li proposed, she and Mo Lin had to agree.

They had no right to refuse.

"Very well."

The Emperor of Da Li nodded, then told Cui Xinyun, "Go to the treasury and take the item yourself."

As he finished speaking, he handed a Token to Cui Xinyun.

Cui Xinyun nodded, and the two went to the treasury.

The treasury was underground.

At the entrance of the treasury was a stone lion statue.

The stone lion seemed alive, exuding a terrifying presence.

Cui Xinyun placed her hand in the stone lion’s mouth.

"Retrieve item, Immortal Execution Array."

The stone lion emitted a sound.

"Boom...boom..."

The stone gate trembled and then slowly opened.

Dim light brightened the room.

They walked forward towards what seemed like a pawnshop counter.

It resembled a prison with black iron bars sealing the inner chamber.

There was only one space for exchanging items.

An emaciated old man appeared from the room.

The old man’s skin was grayish-white, and his body was all bones.

His withered hand reached out and said, "Give me the item, I’ll get it for you."

Cui Xinyun nodded and handed the Token to the emaciated old man.

Then the emaciated old man accepted the Token and went to get the item.

After a long time, he returned with a sheepskin.

"This is what you wanted."

Cui Xinyun accepted the item and then left the basement with Mo Lin.

As soon as they left the basement, a red figure suddenly appeared and collapsed at Cui Xinyun’s feet.

"Master, please, take me away from here, I beg you."

The woman in red had disheveled hair draped over her shoulders.

She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, giving the impression of lack of sleep.

Her hands clutched Cui Xinyun’s leg, and she looked up at Cui Xinyun with pleading eyes.

"I’m only responsible for teaching you; other matters are beyond my choice." Cui Xinyun’s expression was indifferent.

There was no emotional fluctuation.

She was there just to teach this student.

As for other matters, she wouldn’t ask or intervene.

Mo Lin also didn’t ask further questions and left the Da Li Empire with Cui Xinyun.

When they returned to the South District, three days had passed.

Nan Feng Daoist Temple.

The entire Daoist Temple was shrouded by bright red blood energy.

In the center of Nan Feng Daoist Temple stood Temple Master Red Dust.

The Eight Trigrams Array operated, enveloping the whole Nan Feng Daoist Temple.

Protecting the temple within.

This was the array of Nan Feng Daoist Temple.

The Supreme Eight Trigrams Array.

"Old man, release the people."

A roar echoed in the air.

This was the voice of the Lord of War, Chiyou.

"If Cui Xinyun hands the person over to me, I will ensure her safety." Red Dust’s Daoist Robe fluttered in the wind.

She wasn’t fazed at all facing the Lord of War, Chiyou.

The Supreme Eight Trigrams Array spun, resisting the invading bright red blood energy.

Chiyou stood outside Nan Feng Daoist Temple at that moment.

The blood energy he released had already surrounded the entire temple.

Breaking the array was only a matter of time.

"Old man, hand over the person now, and I won’t kill you.

Otherwise, when the array breaks, I’ll slaughter everyone in the temple." The Lord of War, Chiyou, threatened Red Dust.

Red Dust seemed oblivious, standing at the array’s center with her eyes slightly closed, fully concentrating on operating the array.

The Supreme Eight Trigrams Array rotated, devouring the nearby invading blood energy.

Huang Qi stood at a distance, looking at the surrounding bright red blood energy, her eyes filled with despair.

Make a move?

She was no match for the Lord of War, Chiyou.

Encountering the Lord of War, Chiyou, was like a mouse meeting a cat.

She had no ability to resist.

"Can’t escape."

Huang Qi surveyed her surroundings and slowly said, "Daoist Master, let me out.

Otherwise, when the array breaks, you’ll all die."

Huang Qi didn’t want to implicate these people because of herself.

They were kind to heal her wounds.

If she caused the entire Daoist Temple’s demise, she would feel quite guilty.

The Lord of War, Chiyou, seeing the array still unbroken,

furrowed his brows, emanating a fierce aura.

The Lord of War, Chiyou, raised his hand, and eleven Flying Swords soared out.

The eleven Flying Swords traced a magnificent arc in the sky, then struck down towards the Supreme Eight Trigrams Array.

"Boom!"

The terrifying explosion sound resounded instantly.

The entire temple shook violently.

Dust erupted in the air.

When the dust settled, the temple remained unscathed.

It’s undeniable that even though the Supreme Eight Trigrams Array lacked offensive capabilities,

it had incredibly strong defensive power.

The fact that the Lord of War, Chiyou, could not break the array with eleven Flying Swords simultaneously

showed the array’s formidable strength.

The Lord of War, Chiyou, struck again, terrifying power gathering in his hand.

The aura was different from the previous Sword Control.

Purple lightning surged and struck the array.

"Boom...boom..."

With the Lord of War, Chiyou’s continuous attacks, the array started to show signs of instability.
