After Mo Lin left Jin Ancestral Hall with Wang Bing and Sun Xian, everyone with a say in Jin Ancestral Hall gathered in Li Hui's room.
"Old master, why were you so polite to that little brat?"
"When the person selling the Ghost Messenger comes for the money, do we really need to inform Mo Lin?"
"Is it necessary to break our rules in the Jin Ancestral Hall because of a little brat?"
Everyone talked loudly and expressively.
Li Hui, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Were you unable to summon your Contract Ghosts just now?"
"Yes..."
"I'm also puzzled why there was no response when summoning the Contract Ghosts earlier."
"Why?" They were curious why they couldn't summon their Contract Ghosts during the confrontation with Mo Lin.
They couldn't even communicate with the Contract Ghosts.
"It's not that you couldn't summon them; it's that the Contract Ghosts didn't dare to come out. They were afraid," Li Hui revealed a crucial point.
"Ah..."
"How is that possible?"
"The Contract Ghosts are afraid?"
Their first reaction was shock and disbelief.
"Afraid of whom? Afraid of Mo Lin? Impossible," Qingyun found it hard to accept reality.
Ghosts being afraid of people?
What a joke!
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
Never had there been a situation where ghosts were afraid of people.
"That's right, they are afraid of Mo Lin."
This statement left everyone silent for a long time.
If someone else had said this, maybe people wouldn't believe it, but it was Li Hui who said it.
The most respected person in Jin Ancestral Hall.
If he said so, nobody dared to doubt it.
"Anyway, don't provoke him. You can't handle him," Li Hui warned everyone with a serious expression.
"Alright, got it."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
....
After leaving Jin Ancestral Hall, Xianyun closely followed Mo Lin.
"Mo, about the matter you mentioned before about catching a ghost for me, does it still count?"
"Yes, after I help Wang Bing retrieve the Ghost Messenger from the Wang Family, I'll catch a Dangerous Level ghost for you." Since he promised to catch a Dangerous Level ghost for Xianyun, Mo Lin was sure to keep his word.
"Good."
Xianyun smiled happily; she was finally going to have her own Contract Ghost.
And it would be a Dangerous Level Contract Ghost.
Thinking of this, she felt particularly excited.
Wang Bing drove Mo Lin to the Wang Family to get the Ghost Messenger, and Xianyun also followed to the Wang Family.
Wang Bing drove fast, arriving at the West Suburbs in just over twenty minutes.
His home in the West Suburbs is a villa.
Mo Lin got out of the car and heard a commotion.
A young man in a red jacket was just coming out of the Wang Family's home.
He was smiling as he chatted with the Patriarch of the Wang Family.
This man, called Long, had tattoos on his arms, wore earrings, and had dyed yellow hair; he was a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master.
His strength was top-notch in the entire Yun Chuan.
"I'll leave the school affairs to you," Long Huo said with a smile to Wang Haibei.
"Mr. Long, rest assured, I will get it done," Wang Haibei replied quickly.
Being asked by a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master was a favor that needed to be quickly fulfilled, especially since it was from a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master.
The task Long Huo gave him was something charitable, to set up a public school to allow children without money to study for free; this was a good deed.
"Mr. Long, you truly are a good person," Wang Haibei praised Long Huo.
"It's only some trivial matters, not worth praising," Long Huo replied.
Wang Bing and Mo Lin had just gotten out of the car.
They bumped into Long Huo head-on.
Mo Lin suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Help... help..."
"So miserable! Save me..."
These sounds were particularly piercing, making Mo Lin's head ache.
The sounds were coming from Long Huo.
A blood-red aura appeared behind Long Huo, revealing images of small children within, accompanied by the cries of children.
This man had killed, and it was children he had killed.
It seemed his Contract Ghost hadn't fully absorbed the children's vital energy, which caused the excess vital energy to leak, resulting in this scene.
Apparently, his Contract Ghost consumed children's vital energy to enhance its strength.
Of course, this scene was only visible to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin, as the Head of the Yin Department, could see all malevolent entities.
Thus, he could see this scene.
Wang Bing and the others saw nothing, nor did they hear anything.
"Mo, that man is named Long Huo, and he is a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master," Wang Bing introduced Long Huo to Mo Lin.
Long Huo paused as if he was talking to someone, lowered his head, then raised it to look at Mo Lin and quickened his pace to leave.
He seemed to intentionally avoid Mo Lin.
Mo Lin felt a very familiar presence emanating from Long Huo.
"Stop..." Mo Lin rushed forward to block Long Huo's path.
Mo Lin's abrupt action caused Wang Bing and others to feel their hair stand on end.
After all, Long Huo was a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master, his strength was undeniable.
Seeing Mo Lin deliberately provoke a Level Four Ghost-Controlling Master, how could one not be surprised?
"Old acquaintance, you see me and want to run?" Mo Lin said coldly to Long Huo.
"Who's an acquaintance of yours? I don't know you." As the words fell, Long Huo turned to leave.
Mo Lin still didn't intend to let Long Huo go.
"I wasn't talking to you; I was speaking to the one inside you."
Long Huo suddenly stiffened, immediately understanding that Mo Lin referred to the ghost inside him, his Contract Ghost.
"Little Ghost, we've crossed paths in the Underworld a few times, aren't you going to come out to see me? Are you ignoring me?" Mo Lin's voice was chilling as he glared at Long Huo.
Long Huo stood still, clearly sensing the fear emanating from his Contract Ghost within him.
This fear even affected himself.
Within just a few seconds.
A pitch-black figure slowly floated out from within Long Huo.
A blood-stained ghost appeared before them.
"Sir, please spare me, let me live," was the first thing the ghost said as it appeared, begging Mo Lin for mercy.
Not only Long Huo, even the onlookers, such as Wang Bing, were surprised.
This was a Level Four Contract Ghost, why was it so cowardly?
The classification of ghosts.
Zero Level Ordinary Level, Level One Ordinary Level, Level Two Danger Level, Level Three Dangerous Level, Level Four Horror Level, Level Five Nightmare Level, Level Six Deadly Level.
A Level Four Contract Ghost was a powerful existence not only in Yun Chuan but elsewhere as well.
This powerful being was pleading for mercy, trembling in fear before Mo Lin.
"Zhang Ghost, you have committed all sorts of misdeeds in the Underworld and continue to do so in the mortal world, you truly deserve death," Mo Lin cursed angrily.
Zhang Ghost belonged to the Ghost Realm.
Mo Lin and Zhang Ghost were old rivals.
While Mo Lin was a Yin Messenger, he had clashed with Zhang Ghost.
At the time, Zhang Ghost was very powerful, at least comparable to a Yin Messenger.
Mo Lin had severed Zhang Ghost's three spirits, causing Zhang Ghost's power to plummet, and then he fled to the mortal world.
"Head of Yin Department, Mo, I have no enmity with you, please have mercy today and spare me," Zhang Ghost begged Mo Lin once again.
"Let you go? Why would I?"
Mo Lin gave a cold snort, "We're sworn enemies, why would I let you go?
You killed several of my friends in the Underworld; do you think I would let you go?"
Back then, Mo Lin led over a dozen Yin Messengers to capture Zhang Ghost, four of his Yin Messenger friends were killed by Zhang Ghost.
Because of this feud, Mo Lin would not easily spare Zhang Ghost.
