Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 594 - 592: Chaos in the East District

The promises Gongsun Yan made to Mo Lin are not just empty words.

As long as Mo Lin agrees to inherit Jingming Daoism in the South District, their Jingming Dao is truly willing to help Mo Lin solve all troublesome matters.

And Jingming Daoism has the power to do so.

Mo Lin neither agreed nor rejected them, instead questioning Gongsun Yan, "How do you know I can practice Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship?"

Although it is not a secret that Mo Lin possesses Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship,

it is not widely known either.

No more than ten people know that Mo Lin can perform Jingming Exorcism Swordsmanship.

Even if the news spreads quickly, it wouldn't travel from the East District to the South District so fast.

Therefore, Mo Lin was very curious how Gongsun Yan learned about this.

"It was the Six-Eared Mingxi from the Six-Eared Race who came to our Jingming Daoism and disclosed this matter," Gongsun Yan replied openly to Mo Lin.

Upon hearing this, Mo Lin understood.

"I am not considering inheriting Jingming Daoist School," Mo Lin politely declined.

Mo Lin is not familiar with Jingming Daoism at all.

If rashly agreeing to inherit Jingming Daoism and if it turns out to be a trap, what to do then?

Mo Lin remains cautious.

"You can consider it again." Gongsun Yan said slowly to Mo Lin, "We have no intention to plot against you.

Jingming Daoism needs you now."

"I refuse," Mo Lin still rejected.

"Ah... alright then." Gongsun Yan sighed softly and said to Mo Lin, "If you change your mind, you can come to the South District to find me."

Then Gongsun Yan turned and left with several fellow disciples.

Watching Gongsun Yan leaving, Mo Lin slowly expressed thanks, "Thank you for helping me out."

No matter the reason, Gongsun Yan solved considerable trouble for Mo Lin, and Mo Lin should thank him.

"No need for thanks, master ancestor." Gongsun Yan waved goodbye to Mo Lin and then left with his fellow disciples.

He needs to return and inform people in the sect that the news from Six-Eared Mingxi is true.

The heir of Jingming Exorcism Sword has really emerged.

As for how those in the sect will arrange things, it no longer concerns him.

After a fierce battle, the entire village was destroyed.

Luo Xiaoxiao's face was pale; using the divine lamp earlier consumed a lot of her energy.

"These people are strong." Luo Xiaoxiao pointed at the disappearing figure of Gongsun Yan, reminding Mo Lin, "They used a Combined Skill just now and even wounded that Reincarnation Immortal."

During the battle between Gongsun Yan and Liang Miao and others, Luo Xiaoxiao witnessed the entire process, which is why she said this.

Her words were not to praise Gongsun Yan; primarily, Gongsun Yan and the others were truly strong.

Luo Xiaoxiao took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Mo Lin, saying, "A bald man gave this to you."

The paper, crumpled, clearly appears to have been carefully hidden.

"Bald? The bald one beside Consort Ji?" Mo Lin asked Gongsun Yan in confusion.

"Yes." Luo Xiaoxiao nodded.

The bald man beside Consort Ji is Wan Foli.

Upon seeing Wan Foli, Mo Lin sighed, not knowing what has happened, leaving him in such a sorry plight like a dog.

Mo Lin unfolded the crumpled paper, inside was a line of text written in blood.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have harbored malice toward you, I was wrong about the matter on Immortal Island, I was also used by others."

The paper is not large, with two-thirds filled with apologies.

Regarding the matter on Immortal Island, Mo Lin couldn't remember; he lost all memories of Immortal Island after leaving.

The latter sentence was the crucial point.

"There should be someone neither male nor female coming to find you in the upcoming days, that person is a pet of the Twelve Immortals from Immortal Island, don't believe anything they say, it's best to capture them."

The blood stains haven't been coagulated for long, it appears to have been written quite recently.

Mo Lin doesn't have any good impressions of Wan Foli.

Moreover, Mo Lin couldn't understand why he wanted to help him.

Was it a sudden awakening of conscience?

Nonetheless, Mo Lin kept Wan Foli's words in mind.

.....

Mo Lin and Luo Xiaoxiao were traveling down the national highway, which leads to Hongzhou.

This national highway passes through the South District and spans the entire East District.

As they get closer to Hongzhou,

the number of people on the national highway increases.

There's a sense of mass exodus.

Groups of people walked in the same direction.

The people did not appear to be in good condition; some had hair full of grease, unclear when was the last time they washed it.

This situation did not exist a year ago.

"Brother, why are so many people heading this way?" Mo Lin asked a middle-aged man in confusion.

The middle-aged man showed a surprised expression, examining Mo Lin closely.

He was very shocked that Mo Lin, despite walking with the crowd, did not know what they were doing.

"We're escaping!

The roads in South District have been closed, so we can't go there, we can only head to Hongzhou now.

The Gen Family in Hongzhou is willing to take us ordinary people in.

Who knows how many of the thousands here will survive and reach Hongzhou in the end."

"The East District is in chaos, with evil spirits devouring people and many evil cultivators emerging, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive.

The powerful factions in the East District are indifferent to ordinary people, leading to the current situation," Luo Xiaoxiao explained to Mo Lin.

Before Mo Lin vanished, the East District was still relatively stable.

Although people died occasionally, the overall situation was quite good, allowing ordinary people to eke out a living.

With Mo Lin's disappearance, everything fell apart.

The balance in the East District was completely disrupted.

Through conversations with these people, Mo Lin learned that

previously, Beihai sheltered over a million ordinary people.

Later, Beihai was destroyed, causing over a million people to disperse.

This multitude aimed to seek refuge in Hongzhou.

"Ding ding ding..."

A melody of bells suddenly rang out.

The clear sound echoed in the air.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone around suddenly stopped.

"This way... this way,"

Along with the bell ringing, there are cries echoing.

Everyone started heading towards the direction of the sound.

Mo Lin glanced around and noticed that the crowd was all under mind control.

They walked in a daze.

It was clear someone was deliberately luring the crowd away from the highway.

Mo Lin turned to look at Luo Xiaoxiao beside him.

Luo Xiaoxiao nodded to Mo Lin, indicating that she was alright.

She had the divine lamp protecting her, unaffected by the allure.

As for Mo Lin, with highly advanced cultivation, it's impossible for him to fall into the trap.

Mo Lin was curious to know who was using such unscrupulous methods, so he followed the crowd.

Leaving the highway, they arrived at a small slope.

The slope was overgrown with weeds.

Around five hundred people were following the sound of the bells down the slope at this moment.

Some lost their footing, slid, and fell down the slope, bloodied, yet continued walking as if nothing had happened.

After a few minutes, they reached a small river, with a simple wooden bridge merely over two meters long.

The crowd continued crossing the bridge.

Soon, Mo Lin detected a familiar scent of blood.

The scent was overly familiar to Mo Lin.

Previously, every time Mo Lin captured a ghost, he would encounter a strong smell of blood.

It takes at least a few thousand deaths to produce such a pungent scent.

Perhaps due to extensive exposure, Mo Lin can judge the number of deaths just by the scent of blood.
