Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 677 675: Finally Returned

Ku Ying didn't feel like Wei Liang was lying to her.

Because it wasn't necessary.

"You... you are Lord Mo Lin?" Ku Ying asked Mo Lin in surprise.

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.

In the distance, Heng Liu was clearly unaware of the situation. He saw that Wei Liang hadn't taken action yet and urgently urged, "Don't hesitate, kill her.

The treasure of the Goddess Palace is in her hands."

Wei Liang coldly said, "Don't order me around.

I'm not working for your Goddess Palace anymore; I have nothing to do with you from now on."

Wei Liang seized this opportunity to distance himself from the Goddess Palace.

The Goddess Palace was a force established by Xin Ziruo, mainly to help her carry out some unscrupulous activities.

Heng Liu's eyes harbored a hint of murderous intent.

"Wei Liang, do you dare to betray the Goddess?

Do you not want to live?

Do you want your Wei Family to be wiped out?"

If he had a choice, Wei Liang really didn't want to get involved in matters between Mo Lin and Xin Ziruo.

Both of them were people he couldn't afford to offend.

But now he could only obey Mo Lin; he had no other choice.

"Whether I want to live or not is unclear, but now you might be the one about to die." Wei Liang said coldly.

Heng Liu kicked Long Qi hard in the chest, sending Long Qi flying back more than ten meters.

The next moment, Heng Liu charged at Wei Liang.

Heng Liu raised his right hand, and a strand of Immortal Qi surged in the center of his palm. He swung it hard at Wei Liang.

Before Wei Liang could act, he saw Mo Lin make his move.

Mo Lin raised his right hand, and a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand. As Mo Lin swung the sword,

Heng Liu was forced back dozens of meters by a single sword strike from Mo Lin.

Having suffered a setback at Mo Lin's hands, Heng Liu was very displeased. He immediately used Immortal Cultivator techniques, and a pitch-black serpent pattern appeared on his forehead.

Heng Liu's aura soared instantly.

Terrifying Immortal Qi swirled around Heng Liu as he dashed once more towards Mo Lin.

Formidable Immortal Qi raged through the air.

Heng Liu had already reached the front of Mo Lin, yet Mo Lin hadn't moved.

Off to the side, Wei Liang was getting anxious.

"Lord Mo Lin, quickly use your Magic Control Level Immortal Technique."

Just as Wei Liang was speaking, Heng Liu was less than a meter away from Mo Lin.

At this moment, Wei Liang felt a bit desperate.

Mo Lin was taking this too lightly.

Although Mo Lin was a Magic Control Level Immortal Cultivator, stronger than Heng Liu,

Heng Liu was also an Immortal Cultivator. At such a close distance, even as a Magic Control Level Immortal Cultivator, Mo Lin wouldn't have enough time to react with any techniques.

Even if Mo Lin didn't die, he would be severely injured.

Heng Liu's lips curled into a smug smile.

In his view, Mo Lin was completely overconfident. Even as a Magic Control Level Immortal Cultivator, at this close range, he couldn't react in time.

When Heng Liu was only half a meter away from Mo Lin, he suddenly stiffened, and his once rosy face lost all color.

Mo Lin made just one move, raising his hand to wave his sword.

At least in Wei Liang's eyes, it looked as if that was all Mo Lin did.

Heng Liu slightly opened his mouth, revealing a look of disbelief.

"This is... you're... Jingming Dao..."

At that moment, Heng Liu realized the person in front of him was from Jingming Dao.

"Thud!"

Heng Liu's body collapsed onto the ground.

Wei Liang looked at Mo Lin, shaken.

He knew very well that Mo Lin hadn't used any Immortal Techniques; he couldn't even see what move Mo Lin had made, and yet, Heng Liu was dead.

Heng Liu was only at the Transformation Level of Immortal Cultivators, but he was still an Immortal Cultivator.

He wasn't just some random nobody.

Being able to kill a Transformation Level Immortal Cultivator in one move was terrifying.

This Mo Lin was much more powerful than he had been a year ago.

As for the rest of them, they were dealt with by Wei Liang.

Mo Lin was an overwhelming force.

Long Qi originally thought he was undoubtedly going to die, but unexpectedly, he was saved.

"Who are you?" Long Qi's attitude towards Mo Lin was still polite.

"Another one who doesn't know Mo Lin." Wei Liang couldn't help but comment wryly, "This man is the 'Sky' of your Dao Tian Association."

"Sky?"

"Mo Lin," Wei Liang reminded him.

"Lord Mo Lin?"

Long Qi's calm face showed a hint of joy; he didn't even know how long it had been since he last smiled.

"You're back..."

Long Qi exclaimed loudly, "You're finally back..."

"Hahahaha... hahaha... we finally have a way to survive."

As he laughed, tears involuntarily rolled down Long Qi's face.

He was a core member of the Dao Tian Association and understood what Mo Lin's return meant.

Order in the East District was restored.

The ordinary people's sky in the East District had returned.

Just thinking about it made Long Qi's nose sting.

"It's so good to have you back," Long Qi slowly said to Mo Lin, his voice tinged with sobs.

A grown man showing such a side of himself was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Brother Long, about this thing..." Ku Ying, holding a black package, asked Long Qi.

Long Qi took the black package and then handed it to Mo Lin, saying eagerly, "Lord Mo Lin, this treasure is for you."

"What is this?"

Mo Lin asked puzzledly.

With that, he opened the package, revealing a wooden box inside.

Opening the box, there was a pitch-black finger inside.

A thumb.

There was no telling how long this finger had existed.

Mo Lin couldn't discern anything significant at the moment.

"This item is a treasure that Xin Ziruo went to great lengths to find, and it holds the secret to immortality. It absolutely cannot fall into Xin Ziruo's hands."

Such an important item, Long Qi and his people definitely couldn't keep it safe; it would only be safe with Mo Lin.

"The secret to immortality?" Mo Lin carefully examined the thumb.

He looked at it closely again and again.

It seemed like just an ordinary thumb.

There was no sign of any Divine Power within.

"This item is very important. Our Dao Tian Association people are investigating its true purpose," Long Qi explained to Mo Lin.

All he knew was that this finger belonged to a god.

Beyond that, he wasn't sure of any other details.

Mo Lin nodded, then placed the finger back in the wooden box and stored it away.

Long Qi and the others went to contact the Dao Tian Association headquarters to inform them that Mo Lin had returned.

Mo Lin and Wei Liang headed to the Wei Family together.

Wei Liang was going to persuade the Wei Family to work for Mo Lin.

After Long Qi and the others left, Wei Liang finally spoke.

"Lord Mo Lin, that finger just now is very important."

"Do you know the origin of this finger?" Mo Lin asked Wei Liang, puzzled.

Wei Liang nodded, "I know.

That thumb just now belongs to Xu Fu from Penglai Island.

It is said that collecting ten fingers will awaken Xu Fu's soul, opening the path to Penglai Island, thereby uncovering the secret to immortality."

"Oh," Mo Lin responded quietly.

Seeing Mo Lin unconcerned, Wei Liang grew a bit anxious.

"Don't you want immortality?

You must know, in the East District, people are going crazy searching for ways to become immortal.

Nowadays, even the slightest hint related to immortality can be traded for immense benefits."

Truth be told, even Wei Liang was tempted by immortality.

Everyone dies, after all. Who wouldn't want to live forever?

Even the First Emperor sought immortality a thousand years ago.

Ku Ying pointed to Long Qi in the distance and hurriedly said, "Lord Mo Lin, please take action."
