Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 457 - 455: The Strange Dream

I thought a formidable enemy had arrived, but it turned out to be something all show and no substance.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to completely get rid of Gen Wubing.

The thing Mo Lin finds most troublesome about the Gen Family is the Nirvana Fire.

This thing isn’t very powerful, but its ability to resurrect the dead is too abnormal.

It’s terrifyingly strong. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This Hongzhou, everywhere is filled with strangeness.

Sealed ghosts, the undying Gen Family.

"What’s wrong? Are you scared?" Dao Wuxuan asked Mo Lin, seeing the concern on Mo Lin’s face.

"I’m not scared, just don’t know how to break the situation." This was what Mo Lin truly felt.

Until now, Mo Lin doesn’t know how to destroy the Gen Family’s Nirvana Fire.

As long as the Gen Family’s Nirvana Fire isn’t extinguished, Mo Lin has no way to annihilate the Gen Family.

Previously, Mo Lin’s elder sister said she’d help him find the Heaven-Filling Stone to unlock the properties of Mo Lin’s Divine Fire and use fire against fire.

But it’s been nearly half a month, and Mo Lin hasn’t seen his elder sister again.

It makes sense; his sister only promised to help find the Heaven-Filling Stone, which doesn’t guarantee it can be found.

"You mustn’t leave Hongzhou," Dao Wuxuan reminded Mo Lin.

The familiar warning echoed again.

Previously, Gen Minmin had also told Mo Lin something similar.

Moreover, Mo Lin defied it once and left Hongzhou, only to fall into a ghost array and nearly die.

"Is there a reason?" Mo Lin curiously asked Dao Wuxuan.

"The ghost that previously occupied Gen Wubing’s body is the Gen Family Ancestor, sealed in the Gen Family Ancestral Hall."

Dao Wuxuan explained to Mo Lin, "The Gen Family Ancestor is suppressed by Hongzhou’s geomancy; as long as you’re in Hongzhou, the ancestor can’t use his powers."

That Scholar Ghost used Gen Wubing’s body to exert his powers.

After leaving Gen Wubing’s body, the Scholar Ghost lost all means completely.

It’s not that the Scholar Ghost is weak, mainly that it’s suppressed by Hongzhou’s geomancy.

As long as it’s in Hongzhou, the sealed ghosts of the Gen Family cannot use their abilities.

"However, if you leave Hongzhou, those sealed in the Gen Family Ancestral Hall will act without restraint, with many tricks at their disposal," Dao Wuxuan added.

Although the Gen Family’s ancestors are sealed in the Gen Family Ancestral Hall, there must be ways to leave Hongzhou.

There are many secrets to it.

Once you leave Hongzhou, the sealed ghosts of the Gen Family Ancestral Hall can unleash their full strength like a dragon into the sea.

"Understood."

At that moment, Mo Lin finally understood why he was told not to leave Hongzhou.

After intense combat, Mo Lin was utterly exhausted.

Beside him, Zhu Ci and Dao Wuxuan both looked fatigued.

Especially Dao Wuxuan, whose vigor vanished completely after relaxing.

Squinting his eyes, his eyelids fluttered with weariness.

So they all found a place to rest.

Mo Lin lay casually on a plank and fell asleep.

Who knows how long passed.

Mo Lin felt a chill over his body...

It seemed windy outside, but Mo Lin was clearly sleeping indoors.

Although the house was quite rundown, it shouldn’t be leaking from all sides, right?

Why did it feel like wind was blowing on his face?

Mo Lin slowly opened his eyes and was dumbfounded by the scene before him.

Everything around was desolate.

The sky was covered by a layer of yellow clouds, with not a hint of blue in sight.

The wind whipped up yellow sand, blowing through the air.

Yellow sand everywhere.

Yellow Springs Realm!

A thought immediately flashed in Mo Lin’s mind, "How did I get here?"

Mo Lin hadn’t used the Yellow Springs Book, so how did he end up here?

A similar situation happened once before.

That was at the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall in Xu Yue City, where Mo Lin was inadvertently drawn into the Nightmare Realm, leading to a series of bizarre events.

Each time, Mo Lin was unknowingly sucked into another world.

Normally, traveling to the Yellow Springs Realm requires a medium.

Like the Yellow Springs Book, which also requires Mo Lin’s active participation.

Crossing into the Yellow Springs Realm unexplainably?

That’s a bit far-fetched.

Falling asleep and waking up in the Yellow Springs Realm, isn’t that strange?

A yellow palace appeared in his view.

This was the palace once built by Wu Wei.

The palace had two levels, shining like gold, particularly dazzling.

"Wu Wei!" Mo Lin yelled loudly.

There was no response.

Strange... In the past, even if Mo Lin didn’t call out, Wu Wei could sense Mo Lin’s presence and come to greet him.

But now, despite Mo Lin actively calling out to Wu Wei, there was not a single response.

What’s going on?

"Wu Wei!" Mo Lin tried calling again, but still, there was no response.

Mo Lin moved forward to investigate.

Suddenly... a yellow ghost shadow appeared.

Rushed directly in front of Mo Lin.

Yellow Springs Ghost.

The Yellow Springs Ghost’s eyes were bright red, like infrared in the dark, exceptionally bright.

Then, other Yellow Springs Ghosts began to appear in succession.

Shortly after, Wu Wei’s enormous figure slowly emerged.

He had a majestic presence, like a general with a commanding belly.

His pupils, like those of the other ghosts, were bright red.

Mo Lin turned around, and the number of Yellow Springs Ghosts kept increasing.

Everywhere he could see was filled with Yellow Springs Ghosts.

Previously, whenever Wu Wei saw Mo Lin, he would come to greet him.

But for some reason, Wu Wei, seeing Mo Lin now, made no move and showed hostility in his eyes.

"Wu Wei?" Mo Lin tentatively called out.

Wu Wei gave Mo Lin a cold glance, coldly saying, "Kill him."

The surrounding Yellow Springs Ghosts all charged toward Mo Lin.

Mo Lin wanted to use the Netherworld’s Nether Fire but suddenly found that all his power had disappeared.

The Thirteen-Color Wish Power... the Netherworld’s Nether Fire, Nanming Li Fire, Immortal Technique.

All gone.

Without any power, Mo Lin was just an ordinary person, helplessly watching the Yellow Springs Ghosts surround him.

To tear his body apart.

"Wu Wei, you have betrayed me..."

Mo Lin abruptly sat up from the plank.

He cautiously looked around at the surroundings, the walls, the broken cement floor.

Hongzhou.

It was just a dream... Mo Lin hadn’t gone to the Yellow Springs Realm.

The dream earlier was too real.

Mo Lin almost believed it was something that truly happened.

Mo Lin’s forehead was covered in sweat, his palms too.

"Dreaming?" Zhu Ci, seeing Mo Lin suddenly awaken in fright, asked puzzledly.

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded and replied, "A rather unpleasant dream."

Since becoming a cultivator, Mo Lin seldom dreamed.

Now having such a dream, it wasn’t a good omen.

"Boom..."

A thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky.

The clouds in the sky split open by the sudden clap of thunder.

The thunder echoed throughout Hongzhou.

Making people’s hairs stand on end.

Dao Wuxuan, who had been sleeping, suddenly woke up with a start.

"It’s bad... that one from the Gen Family is out." Dao Wuxuan showed a cautious expression.

Facing the Evil Spirit before, he hadn’t shown such fear.

Now, there are two possibilities: the one from the Gen Family, still severely injured, is forcibly making a move.

The other possibility is that the one from the Gen Family has recovered and intends to personally hunt Mo Lin.

If it’s the former, there’s at least a slim chance to resist.

If it’s the latter, then it’s trouble.

Boom!

Another thunderclap resounded in the air.

"Mo Lin, quickly, run with me." Dao Wuxuan’s fear couldn’t be hidden at all.
