Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 492 - 490: The Difference Between Destined Persons
As for killing Mo Lin, that’s impossible.
"I don’t just kill people for no reason now," Wan Foli casually found an excuse for himself and said slowly.
"Aren’t two relics enough?" Yu Store asked unwillingly once again.
"I told you, I don’t kill people, don’t you understand human speech?" Wan Foli gradually became impatient and snapped.
Seeing that Yu Store was still unwilling to leave, Wan Foli shouted again, "Get lost already!"
Yu Store, having no choice, turned and left.
Wan Foli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was grateful that he was beaten up by Mo Lin during the day.
Now he just wanted to say, "Well done."
If it weren’t for Mo Lin bringing Yun Xue’xue to teach him a lesson during the day,
he definitely wouldn’t have realized how terrifying Mo Lin is.
He would have foolishly accepted the relics given by Yu Store and gone to kill Mo Lin.
By then, he would surely have met a downfall.
Thinking of this, Wan Foli felt a chill run down his spine.
....
Great Spirit Mountain.
Everything was as it always was.
The same scenery.
Picturesque mountains and waters.
The grand hall on Great Spirit Mountain remained as magnificent as ever.
It seemed that there were more people here than before.
A lot more ordinary people.
Yun Xue’xue followed behind Mo Lin, chatting with him along the way.
Asking things about Mo Lin’s life.
Or inquiring about Mo Lin’s experiences.
Outside Great Spirit Mountain lies Jiangzhou Dao.
An array separates Jiangzhou Dao from Great Spirit Mountain.
This array is the True Martial Demon Suppression Formation set up by Zhen Lingling.
Its power is terrifying.
Now, Zhen Lingling protects everyone on Great Spirit Mountain.
Mo Lin and Yun Xue’xue walked towards the palace.
Someone recognized Mo Lin and shouted loudly.
"Lord Mo Lin is back."
The loud voice quickly spread throughout all of Great Spirit Mountain.
As a result, everyone came to see Mo Lin.
Mo Lin originally thought Jiang Yun would come out to greet him.
But she didn’t.
It was all ordinary onlookers who came out.
And a few old acquaintances.
"Lord Mo Lin, you are back," an elderly man with white hair greeted Mo Lin.
This old man was an elder of Great Spirit Mountain.
He knew Mo Lin.
"Where is Jiang Yun?" Mo Lin asked the white-haired elder curiously.
"Jiang Yun went to Jiangzhou Dao to hunt the Evil Spirit," the white-haired elder answered Mo Lin.
Mo Lin followed the white-haired elder into the palace.
Inside the palace, a woman dressed in a Daoist robe, with a ponytail, was seated on a meditation cushion.
She exuded a silvery gray aura.
This woman was Zhen Lingling.
The embodiment of the True Martial Emperor.
A person with the power of a True Immortal.
"You’re back," Zhen Lingling said slowly, with her back facing Mo Lin.
Mo Lin sensed that the power within Zhen Lingling seemed to be flowing out.
It was flowing to the ground at an astonishing speed.
"What is this about?" Mo Lin asked curiously.
"Beneath Great Spirit Mountain, a Buddha is being suppressed."
Zhen Lingling thought for a moment and then said, "It’s an Evil Buddha."
"Do you know why the Evil Buddha descended on Great Spirit Mountain back then?" Zhen Lingling asked Mo Lin.
"Wasn’t it because Xin Ziruo arranged it?" Mo Lin asked confusedly.
He always thought it was because Xin Ziruo colluded with the Evil Buddha, which is why the Evil Buddha helped Xin Ziruo.
Moreover, Mo Lin also felt those Evil Buddhas were assisting Xin Ziruo to deal with him.
"Wrong, all wrong."
Zhen Lingling explained to Mo Lin, "We were all played by Xin Ziruo.
We were all used as chess pieces, expertly manipulated by her."
"Xin Ziruo wanted to kill you to use your blood as a sacrifice to the Buddha suppressed here.
She wanted to release that Buddha."
"Although you didn’t die, your blood seeped into the ground, and the Buddha suppressed here has already had half its shackles released.
The descent of the Evil Buddhas aimed to kill you to let the Buddha suppressed beneath Great Spirit Mountain see the light of day again.
Even though their goal was not achieved, the seal on the Evil Buddha beneath Great Spirit Mountain has been gradually loosening.
Currently, it is my responsibility to suppress the Evil Buddha here," Zhen Lingling explained to Mo Lin.
So, Mo Lin had been a tool from start to finish.
He was played by Xin Ziruo and was still unaware of what Xin Ziruo intended to do.
"Why specifically me?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.
"Because you are the first-generation Destined Person, your blood is different," Zhen Lingling explained.
"Destined Person doesn’t seem any different to me. I feel like a Destined Person is nothing exceptional, right?" This was Mo Lin’s genuine feeling.
For instance, the two Destined Persons of the Gen Family.
Didn’t they also die twice at Mo Lin’s hands?
Although they were reborn using the Gen Family’s Nirvana Fire,
they still weren’t Mo Lin’s match.
So, Mo Lin always felt like Destined Persons weren’t particularly special.
"Destined Persons are different from ordinary people."
Zhen Lingling explained to Mo Lin, "Unless their fate is broken, Destined Persons cannot die."
"Is it that mystical?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.
"Weren’t you the one who didn’t die before?" Zhen Lingling countered Mo Lin’s question.
Indeed, Mo Lin had his head chopped off on Great Spirit Mountain, but he still survived.
The two Destined Persons of the Gen Family, although they also died at Mo Lin’s hands, they still lived.
They weren’t dead.
Or take Ling Qiaoqiao, after surviving the disaster of Evil Spirit invasion, she too lived.
Also wasn’t dead.
From a certain perspective, these people really didn’t die.
"Destined Persons have a trait; after undergoing a life-and-death ordeal once, they become stronger afterward," Zhen Lingling explained again.
Thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the case.
Before, when Mo Lin was a Destined Person, every time after going through something, he would become stronger.
"You need to reclaim your fate."
Zhen Lingling slowly said to Mo Lin, "Those are things that belong to you."
"Can this stuff be recovered?"
Mo Lin was very curious since fate was invisible and intangible, how could it be reclaimed?
"After I find a way to reclaim fate, I’ll let you know," Zhen Lingling said slowly.
The feeling Mo Lin got from Zhen Lingling had changed significantly.
As her strength within her body awakened gradually,
Zhen Lingling’s character, and temper, experienced significant changes.
For instance, the tone Zhen Lingling used to speak to Mo Lin now was very cold, with a sense of distance.
"Jiang Yun has been in Jiangzhou Dao for three days and hasn’t returned, maybe she encountered some trouble. You should go help her," Zhen Lingling said to Mo Lin again.
"Alright," Mo Lin nodded and then left.
Mo Lin did not let Yun Xue’xue accompany him to find people.
Yun Xue’xue stayed on Great Spirit Mountain.
....
Jiangzhou Dao.
Though it was daytime now, Jiangzhou Dao was pitch black.
Behind Jiang Yun were more than thirty people, currently taking shelter in a temporarily constructed refuge to rest.
They’ve been trapped here for three days.
Unable to get out, caught in a labyrinth-like state.
No matter which way they went, they would end up back at the starting point.
Along the way, she encountered several Evil Spirits, all of which she eliminated.
Now Jiang Yun is a Seven-Colored Red Dust Immortal.
Her power is very strong, and she also learned Daoist Technique from Zhen Lingling.
Her skills in exorcising demons are impressive.
