Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

"You may have no hostility, but surely you have other motives, right?" Six-Eared Mingyue directly exposed the group’s true colors.

This is quite normal; it’s impossible to give Mo Lin benefits for no reason.

"You all can go back first; I’ll think about it." Mo Lin slowly said to the people before him.

The man in the black robe nodded and then shifted his gaze to Six-Eared Mingyue, speaking politely.

"Mo Lin has been missing for a year and knows little about matters in the East District; please help him weigh the pros and cons."

With that, the man in the black robe respectfully cupped his hands towards Six-Eared Mingyue and then turned to leave.

Others from different families also followed behind at his departure.

"Is there something I don’t know?" Mo Lin asked Six-Eared Mingyue, puzzled.

Six-Eared Mingyue wanted to place a bet on Mo Lin, so it was better to clarify things for him.

"Have you noticed that lately, in the past year, many outsiders have been coming to the East District?" Six-Eared Mingyue asked Mo Lin.

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.

Logically, the East District is so dangerous that normal people would choose to leave.

Yet, more and more people are coming, and the stronger the force, the more they want to come.

It’s very strange.

"My Six-Eared Race, along with Jingming Daoism and the Postnatal Race, have all come to the East District. Don’t you find it strange?" Six-Eared Mingyue said to Mo Lin again.

"Why?" Mo Lin inquired.

"Because your East District is the starting point.

Starting from the East District to the Cloud Immortal Realm,

there is a chance here that all gods desire.

The Evil Buddha descended to the East District for that opportunity.

The Evil Spirits of the Great Spirit Mountain are also here for it.

The Yellow Springs Realm is seeking it.

The Immortal Island is equally pursuing it."

Six-Eared Mingyue slowly spoke to Mo Lin: "None of this is coincidental; it has all been planned.

Whether now or in the future, this place will forever remain an era’s whirlpool."

The meaning is that whether it’s the Evil Buddha or the Yellow Springs Ghosts, they’re appearing in the East District searching for some kind of opportunity.

"What opportunity?" Mo Lin asked, puzzled.

"Immortality!"

Six-Eared Mingyue directly spoke to Mo Lin: "It’s a power that can allow the true form of the Evil Buddha to descend.

It can grant the Evil Spirits divinity.

It can make ordinary people eternally alive.

It can allow a Celestial God to descend in true form.

It can resurrect the ancestor of my Six-Eared Race.

It can revive the divinity of Celestial Monarch Xu of Jingming Daoism."

Six-Eared Mingyue’s tone shifted, raising her slender arm, her index finger pointing at Mo Lin.

"It can even resurrect Ye Dou Ghost Immortal to appear in the human realm."

Whether it’s Nvwa or Zhong Kui, they are True Gods but lack physical bodies.

What Six-Eared Mingyue means by resurrection is granting these Ghost Immortals physical forms.

Actually, Mo Lin has heard of immortality before.

He just thought it meant merely making humans live forever, but now realizes this notion was superficial.

"We have come to the East District to find the opportunity for immortality."

Six-Eared Mingyue slowly said to Mo Lin: "This opportunity can only be obtained by locals of the East District."

"The Evil Buddha collaborates with Xin Ziruo; the Yellow Springs Realm also aids Xin Ziruo.

It’s because they have reached an agreement.

Xin Ziruo assists them in finding the opportunity for immortality, and in return, they provide support to Xin Ziruo."

"We are not locals of the East District; we are outsiders.

We cannot obtain the opportunity for immortality, so we wager on the locals of the East District."

The Six-Eared Race initially betted on a Destined Person until Mo Lin killed one, causing the Six-Eared Race to temporarily abandon their wager.

"The people who approached you earlier want to bet on you, invest in you." Six-Eared Mingyue explained to Mo Lin.

At this moment... everything could be explained.

Why the Evil Buddha collaborates with Xin Ziruo.

Why the Evil Spirits of the Great Spirit Mountain also aid Xin Ziruo; it’s because of the opportunity for immortality.

"If my guess is correct, Jingming Daoism should also choose Xin Ziruo."

Six-Eared Mingyue took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Actually, the Six-Eared Race too has interacted with Xin Ziruo.

After all, Xin Ziruo is the most likely person to obtain the opportunity for immortality.

The Six-Eared Race initially planned to bet on Xin Ziruo, but later changed their minds because of Mo Lin’s appearance, who brought the race’s treasured artifacts.

"Several thousand years ago, a person named Xu Fu found immortality and established a place called the Cloud Immortal Realm.

One of his servants stole the secret of immortality and then came to the East District."

Though Six-Eared Mingyue speaks of immortality, it feels like even she doesn’t quite grasp what the immortality opportunity exactly is.

Her description is quite vague.

"If you can obtain the immortality opportunity, you will change the East District’s structure," Six-Eared Mingyue said to Mo Lin again.

If it weren’t for mingling with Six-Eared Mingyue, Mo Lin wouldn’t really know so many things.

Six-Eared Mingyue’s face was serious, speaking to Mo Lin.

"I, the Six-Eared Race, want to bet on you."

"Bet?" Mo Lin was quite puzzled why the term ’bet’ was used.

"We will use all our resources to assist you.

If the Evil Buddha seeks to kill you, the Six-Eared Race will stand against him for you.

If Evil Spirits are your enemies, the Six-Eared Race will eliminate them for you.

The Yellow Springs Realm won’t matter.

Xin Ziruo can be completely defeated for your sake.

The Six-Eared Race can battle for you."

This attitude was a world of difference from before.

Previously, even if Mo Lin brought out the treasure of the Six-Eared Race, Six-Eared Mingyue wouldn’t confront the Evil Buddha.

Nor would she offend Xin Ziruo.

She was only willing to offer minor assistance to Mo Lin.

But now, she was willing to give everything for Mo Lin, which was shocking.

"Bet everything of the Six-Eared Race for my sake?" Mo Lin was surprised at Six-Eared Mingyue’s determination.

One must know, this is related to the entire Six-Eared Race’s prosperity.

If the bet is won, the Six-Eared Race will rise; if lost, they will fall.

"Yes."

Six-Eared Mingyue nodded.

"What if I don’t obtain the immortality opportunity?" Mo Lin asked, puzzled.

"You will die, and everyone from the Six-Eared Race in the East District will die."

Six-Eared Mingyue sighed at Mo Lin’s ignorance: "Are you an East District local?

How do you know nothing?"

At this moment, Mo Lin felt like an innocent big boy, oblivious to everything.

"If Xin Ziruo acquires the immortality opportunity, she will surely kill you, and even my entire Six-Eared Race might get exterminated."

Six-Eared Mingyue’s words seemed somewhat dismissive, as if she hadn’t fully explained something.

Six-Eared Mingyue turned to Mo Lin, asking: "So?

Will you accept?"

Mo Lin hesitated for a moment.

Accept or reject?

For an instant, Mo Lin didn’t know how to choose.

He indeed needed a very strong ally.

But Mo Lin also didn’t want the so-called immortality opportunity to become a constraint upon his actions.

If he agrees with Six-Eared Mingyue, Mo Lin will have an additional task in the future—to seek the immortality opportunity.

"Give me some time to think it over." Mo Lin said slowly.

"Okay." Six-Eared Mingyue nodded.

After all, this is a big matter, and she is willing to give Mo Lin ample time to consider.
