Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 554 - 552: Has the Ghost Mother Betrayed?

Seeing Feng Mingyu in such a state, Mo Lin was instantly surprised.

When Feng Mingyu saw Mo Lin, a look of apology was on her face, "I’m sorry, I’m late."

"Because I previously used Yun Lin’s power, I can’t use it again in a short period, which is why I’m in this sorry state."

Upon seeing Mo Lin, Feng Mingyu hastily explained to him.

Previously, she helped Mo Lin kill the Long-Eyebrow Arhat by using Yun Lin’s power, which is why she couldn’t use Yun Lin’s power again now.

Of course, Mo Lin understood that forces beyond reason usually come with some extraordinary additional costs.

"What happened? Why are you hurt?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu with concern.

"I met the Ghost Mother while on the way here with Yun Xue’xue."

Feng Mingyu answered Mo Lin with a frown, "The Ghost Mother blocked the path, Yun Xue’xue fought the Ghost Mother, and I found a chance to escape."

Suddenly, Mo Lin’s heart trembled.

"The Ghost Mother? Are you sure?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu again with a doubtful tone.

"I’m sure, it’s the Ghost Mother."

Feng Mingyu’s tone shifted, she asked Mo Lin, "Isn’t the Ghost Mother one of your ghosts?

Why would she do such a thing?"

At this moment, Mo Lin’s mind went blank.

With only three words in his heart.

Why?

He had originally arranged for the Ghost Mother to guard the Cultivation Hall, and didn’t expect her to betray him.

What Mo Lin found hard to understand was the reason for the Ghost Mother’s betrayal?

Mo Lin had always thought the Ghost Mother was loyal to him.

He never imagined in his wildest dreams that the Ghost Mother would betray him.

Seeing Mo Lin’s difficulty in accepting it, Feng Mingyu quickly explained, "Maybe there’s something special going on.

The Ghost Mother may not have necessarily betrayed you." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Mo Lin was no fool, given what had happened earlier, how could he not see it?

The Ghost Mother was gone without guarding the Cultivation Hall, and Mo Lin’s summon was met with no response.

There was an eighty percent chance that the Ghost Mother had betrayed him.

"Let’s go, take me to see the Ghost Mother," Mo Lin said to Feng Mingyu slowly.

Feng Mingyu took a look at the surroundings and immediately understood that Mo Lin had been through a great battle.

Corpses were everywhere.

Seeing Mo Lin’s exhausted state, Feng Mingyu felt a pang of heartache, "Forget it, just rest for a day first.

Yun Xue’xue said she wouldn’t lose to the Ghost Mother."

Feng Mingyu worried that in Mo Lin’s current poor condition, meeting the Ghost Mother could be detrimental.

Mo Lin wasn’t made of iron.

The more powerful one was, the more energy consumed.

In this state, not only could Mo Lin not help Yun Xue’xue, but he might also drag her down.

"Take me," Mo Lin insisted on meeting the Ghost Mother.

At least to figure out the situation.

He couldn’t just muddle through it ignorantly.

If he missed this opportunity, seeing the Ghost Mother again would be difficult.

Mo Lin still had a question in his heart.

How was it that the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill bond still existed, yet the Ghost Mother could escape his control?

Feng Mingyu couldn’t resist Mo Lin, so she rode a motorcycle and took Mo Lin to find the Ghost Mother.

The two of them didn’t speak on the way.

The fierce wind blew across Mo Lin’s face, carrying a touch of warmth.

Mo Lin’s heart was heavy.

The feeling was terrible.

The feeling of being betrayed by someone close was unbearable.

At least in Mo Lin’s heart, he always thought of the Ghost Mother as family.

Who knows how long it took.

The motorcycle finally stopped.

The ground was covered with ice and snow.

There were signs of fighting around.

All the trees around had fallen.

The next moment, a graceful figure descended from mid-air.

Yun Xue’xue landed in front of Mo Lin, stepping on snowflakes.

"Why are you here? Leave quickly." Yun Xue’xue immediately saw Mo Lin’s poor condition and urged him to leave.

In this state, if Mo Lin faced the Ghost Mother, he wouldn’t last ten rounds.

"Where’s the Ghost Mother? I want to see her," Mo Lin said slowly to Yun Xue’xue.

"She’s no longer your ghost. She belongs to someone else now."

Yun Xue’xue’s expression was serious, reminding, "The Ghost Mother’s strength is not much weaker than mine."

This news didn’t surprise Mo Lin at all.

Mo Lin had long known the Ghost Mother’s formidable strength.

As for why the Ghost Mother didn’t seem as strong around Mo Lin, it was only because she was tied to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin’s strength wasn’t enough, so the Ghost Mother couldn’t exert her peak power.

As Mo Lin gradually grew stronger, the Ghost Mother’s power began to manifest.

Feeling something, Yun Xue’xue immediately turned around, cautiously watching the direction behind her.

A ghostly figure appeared.

This ghostly figure had white hair, bright red skin, with a white bone horn on its head.

The ghost’s bright red eyes emanated killing intent.

Her hands formed two white bone blades.

This was the Ghost Mother, and Mo Lin was seeing her in this form for the first time.

The Ghost Mother’s bright red eyes paused upon seeing Mo Lin.

The Ghost Mother made no attack.

Mo Lin used the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill, dark ghost qi surged out from his hand.

Mo Lin attempted to re-establish their connection.

For some reason, the connection was severed.

As if some invisible force had cut the link between him and the Ghost Mother.

"You should leave!" The Ghost Mother’s voice was dull, completely different from her clear voice before.

"Why did you betray me?" Mo Lin asked the Ghost Mother unwillingly.

No matter the reason, there must be an explanation, right?

"You’re mistaken, she didn’t betray you, she merely returned to the family, that’s all," a male voice sounded.

Mo Lin looked into the distance, where a man in a black sweatshirt, with a hat on, was standing.

A layer of ghost qi covered the man’s face, obscuring his features.

This should be the formidable person the Immortal Cultivator mentioned who participated in destroying the Cultivation Hall.

"Family?"

Mo Lin frowned, what family?

The Ghost Mother’s sister had betrayed her, hadn’t she?

Then she was killed by Mo Lin.

Where did the Ghost Mother’s family come from?

The Ghost Mother’s family was the Yuan Family.

Yuan Qi was already gone, so where did the family come from?

The man in the black sweatshirt ordered the Ghost Mother, "Kill him."

The Ghost Mother stood still, making no move.

Seeing the Ghost Mother defy orders, the hoodie man’s brows furrowed deeply.

He then took out something covered in a red cloth, and uncovered it.

Inside was a spiritual tablet.

On the black tablet was a big bright red flower.

This was the symbol of marriage.

Netherworld Marriage?

In that moment, his mind immediately guessed at something.

This person, whose origin was unknown, used the method of Netherworld Marriage to control the Ghost Mother.

To do such a thing, a few prerequisites needed to be met.

The first condition was to find the Ghost Mother’s body.

The second condition was to know the Ghost Mother’s power, and seize the right opportunity to control her.

Using the word "control" might not be quite right, "commanding" the Ghost Mother was more appropriate.

Following the Netherworld Marriage, the Ghost Mother’s primary allegiance was to the family.

Mo Lin was the second allegiance.

It was clear that the person was skilled in Ghost-Controlling.

Not just anyone could easily locate the Ghost Mother’s body.

Finding a corpse was a skilled task.

Finding the Ghost Mother’s body was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and holding a Netherworld Marriage was very demanding.
