Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 573 - 571: The Backlash Arrives

Mo Lin was checking the situation.

Just like the yellow dust-like ashes on the ground, Mo Lin didn’t discover any other clues.

Under Mo Lin’s command, Beihai immediately went into lockdown, all the spirits were on high alert.

Yun Xue’xue was not beside Mo Lin at the moment; she had gone to find Luo Xiaoxiao.

She planned to ally with Luo Xiaoxiao, using her divine lamp to eliminate Liang Miao.

Only Mo Haiyue was in Beihai.

Mo Haiyue’s current strength was still unstable, unable to unleash its full power, so he remained in Beihai.

Mo Lin was in his room, and he took out the Yellow Springs Book.

He intended to check on the current situation in the Yellow Springs Realm.

Mo Lin hadn’t visited the Yellow Springs Realm for more than half a year.

As Mo Lin exerted the power of the Yellow Springs Book, a yellow mist instantly emerged, enveloping Mo Lin.

In the next moment, Mo Lin was brought into the Yellow Springs Realm.

Fierce winds blew all around, filling the sky with yellow sand.

The palace that belonged to Mo Lin had collapsed.

The palace was in ruins, revealing a shattered scene.

Mo Lin’s first reaction was that something had gone wrong.

Why hadn’t Wu Wei informed him of such a significant event?

Where was Wu Wei?

Mo Lin moved his body, examining the surrounding environment, and walked for a long time without encountering a single spirit.

"Wu Wei!" Mo Lin shouted.

There was no response.

The spirits that Mo Lin once knew had all disappeared.

Suddenly, an enormous power surged over.

Mo Lin felt as though someone was covering his mouth, he was out of breath.

This world was rejecting him.

This force was driving Mo Lin outwards.

Then, without giving Mo Lin a chance to resist, the enormous power forcibly expelled Mo Lin from the Yellow Springs Realm.

Afterward, Mo Lin returned once again to Beihai.

The Yellow Springs Book in Mo Lin’s hand suddenly ignited for unknown reasons.

Mo Lin had no choice but to toss away the Yellow Springs Book.

The Yellow Springs Book fell to the ground, yellow flames bursting over a foot high.

The flames coalesced into a figure made of fire.

The figure stood up, appearing in front of Mo Lin.

"Spent my money, so you must repay my debt.

Using my book, you belong to me.

Your lives are all mine."

The flame figure scolded Mo Lin: "Zhu Ci cannot escape, neither can you.

Don’t think that with the protection of the Cloud Immortal Realm people, you can remain unscathed."

As the words fell, the flames then disappeared.

The backlash had arrived.

Back in Huzhou, Mo Lin used the Netherworld Currency from the Yellow Springs Book to forcibly break through the boundary, entering the Palace Master level, knowing a backlash would come.

After all, Zhu Ci was a precedent.

No one expected the backlash to come so quickly.

Mo Lin did not believe that the opponent was merely threatening him.

The opponent must have prepared something in advance.

"Boom..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

A thunderous noise suddenly sounded.

The pitch-black night was momentarily illuminated by lightning.

It felt like an earthquake, the ground shaking violently.

The shaking lasted for more than an hour.

It was unclear what exactly had happened.

"Bing Yu, arrange for the spirits to check out what happened." Mo Lin instructed Bing Yu.

His intuition told him this was related to the Yellow Springs Realm.

It wasn’t that Mo Lin was too sensitive.

He had just been threatened, and then something strange happened, clearly there was a connection.

"Ghost Mother!"

Mo Lin shouted, and Ghost Mother appeared barefoot, dressed in white, kneeling before Mo Lin.

Her knees on the ground, her forehead pressed tightly against the floor.

"Lord Mo Lin, I am truly sorry.

I did not betray you before, it was those people who designed..."

Ghost Mother anxiously explained to Mo Lin.

She had now recovered.

"Alright, don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault." Mo Lin gently lifted Ghost Mother to comfort her.

The incident of Ghost Mother’s enslavement was entirely calculated by others.

Ghost Mother hadn’t betrayed Mo Lin.

Ghost Mother cast a grateful glance at Mo Lin.

Mo Lin handed the black jar that belonged to Ghost Mother back to her, then said: "Help me find out what happened."

Exploring messages and finding people were Ghost Mother’s expertise.

"As you command."

As the words fell, Ghost Mother reached into the black jar, pulling out a winged little ghost, then instructing it to investigate.

Next, Mo Lin only needed to await the news.

"Where is Mo Lin?"

A dull voice echoed.

Then the voice expanded again: "Li Yang Zhu Family’s eldest son, Zhu Ci, has specifically ordered me to seek Mo Lin here.

Please, spirits, do not obstruct."

The voice was powerful, slowly spreading.

Then it reached Mo Lin’s ears.

An elderly man with white hair, riding a black steed, walked along the street.

"Li Yang Zhu Family’s eldest son, Zhu Ci, has specifically ordered me to seek Mo Lin here.

Please, spirits, do not obstruct."

He spoke while galloping on his horse.

He had searched many locations.

The Great Spirit Mountain, Yanjing, even the Celestial Heart Bureau.

Yet he hadn’t found the person he sought.

Mo Lin slowly stepped out, calling out to the distance: "I am here."

Hearing Mo Lin’s voice, the elderly man turned his steed, then arrived beside Mo Lin.

"Are you Mo Lin?" the elderly man asked Mo Lin.

"I am."

"May I ask where you met my master?

Due to what circumstances did you form a connection?" the elderly man cautiously asked Mo Lin to prevent impersonation.

"I saved his life, helped him overcome the backlash from the Yellow Springs Book." Mo Lin explained.

Confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Mo Lin, the elderly man finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly dismounted.

"What’s the matter? Is Zhu Ci seeking my help?" Mo Lin curiously asked the elderly man.

"This matter concerns both my master and you."

The elderly man respectfully told Mo Lin: "My master instructed me to inform you that the backlash from the Yellow Springs Book has arrived; all those who held the book previously will die."

The elderly man echoed Zhu Ci’s original words.

"Where is Zhu Ci?" Mo Lin asked the elderly man.

"Hiding in the sealed location of my Zhu Family."

The elderly man said to Mo Lin slowly: "My master invites you to join him in evading the calamity.

He instructed me to tell you that if you don’t evade it, there is an eighty percent chance you’ll die.

The Yellow Springs Book is after you all, unrelenting until death."

"That guy, Zhu Ci, is rather loyal, even at this critical moment he thought of me." Mo Lin was touched.

He hadn’t expected Zhu Ci would specially arrange someone to notify him to escape to the Zhu Family.

"My Zhu Family’s sealed location is a paradise; if you are willing to go, I guarantee you won’t suffer the backlash from the Yellow Springs Book." the elderly man told Mo Lin slowly.

If possible, Mo Lin also wanted to find a place to hide.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

The issues Mo Lin faced were too numerous; he couldn’t escape.

If he hid, what would happen to Beihai?

What about those who relied on him?

What about Yun Xue’xue?

What about the Three Sons of Feng City?

Moreover, Mo Lin still had to seek revenge on Xin Ziruo.

There were simply too many reasons why Mo Lin couldn’t hide.

"Does Zhu Ci know why the Yellow Springs Book is backlashing?"

Mo Lin was curious, why the backlash from the Yellow Springs Book would occur at this specific moment.
