Chapter 735 - 733: Ghost-eating Yaksha
When it comes to Zhen Lingling, Gui Shutao doesn’t utter a single word.
Even when faced with the threat of death, she won’t reveal a single thing.
Despite the commotion inside the house, not a single person comes in from outside.
No one comes to check on the situation either.
Is it a restriction?
Or some kind of spiritual limitation?
Mo Lin furrows his brows in thought.
"Sir, even if you kill me, I can’t tell you anything about Zhen Lingling," Gui Shutao says slowly, her head lowered, blood at the corner of her mouth, addressing Mo Lin.
Seeing Mo Lin remain silent, Gui Shutao uses her right hand to remove her top, placing her left leg on Mo Lin’s lap, softly tempting him.
"I can do other things for you."
Saying this, Gui Shutao wriggles her waist, trying to seduce Mo Lin.
"Soul Refinement," Mo Lin suddenly exclaims as he thinks of something.
"I’ll turn you into a ghost; that way, I’ll learn what I want to know," Mo Lin mutters to himself.
Gui Shutao’s face instantly turns deathly pale, her body trembling uncontrollably.
This man before her has no thoughts of men and women in his mind.
She initially thought of seducing Mo Lin, hoping to survive.
Leaving aside her other qualities, her figure alone could be considered quite alluring.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lin is completely indifferent to women.
Mo Lin raises his hand, and a thick ghostly energy appears in the palm of his hand.
The terrifying ghostly energy streams into Gui Shutao’s body through her seven orifices.
Gui Shutao trembles, painfully kneeling on the ground, opening her mouth as if to wail.
But she is like a mute, unable to make a single sound.
As more and more ghostly energy floods into Gui Shutao’s body,
her struggling becomes more and more intense.
After about a few minutes, Gui Shutao calms down, closes her eyes, and ceases to struggle.
Mo Lin raises his hand, using the ghostly energy to extract Gui Shutao’s soul.
Gui Shutao’s ghost shadow appears before Mo Lin.
She kneels before Mo Lin.
"Master..." Gui Shutao greets Mo Lin with respect.
The ghosts that Mo Lin refines are absolutely obedient to him.
"Have you seen Zhen Lingling?" Mo Lin asks Gui Shutao.
"I..."
Gui Shutao prepares to answer Mo Lin, but her figure suddenly becomes blurred, lines appearing on her once clear body.
"I... I..."
Gui Shutao wants to say something, but her words seem stuck on the first word.
No matter how much she wants to speak, she cannot say a word.
"Bang!"
Gui Shutao’s ghost shadow bursts like a balloon.
The unexpected scene leaves Mo Lin stunned.
Is this controlling the soul?
This method, Mo Lin encounters for the first time.
Could it all be the work of Zhen Lingling?
What’s her motive for doing this?
Has she turned to the Evil Buddha?
Mo Lin frowns, muttering to himself.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang..."
Gui Shutao’s death seems to have triggered an alert line.
A bell sounds above True Martial Daoism.
The bell sound echoes throughout True Martial Daoism.
"Who is there?"
A voicing of chastising comes through.
Guo Ke arrives in the backyard with his people.
At the same time, another middle-aged man rushes over as well.
If possible, Mo Lin didn’t want his identity to be exposed so early.
He still wanted to gather some useful information.
Since his identity has been exposed now, there’s no need to hide anymore.
Mo Lin opens the door, coming face to face with Guo Ke and Jin Xi.
"It’s you?" Guo Ke is slightly shocked the moment he sees Mo Lin.
"Did you kill Gui Shutao?"
Though Guo Ke has a rough idea, he can’t help but ask.
Mo Lin ignores Guo Ke. He points to the backyard, toward the well in the center, and asks Guo Ke,
"What’s inside here?"
Coming here, Mo Lin has also seen the layout of True Martial Daoism.
True Martial Daoism has set up an array in Beihai, capturing all the ghost qi.
All the ghost qi in Beihai floods into this well.
It’s as if nurturing something.
"Kid, it’s none of your business," Guo Ke clearly doesn’t want to tell Mo Lin.
Mo Lin doesn’t waste words, the Cyan Cloud Sword appears before him.
Mo Lin raises his hand, slashing out with one sword stroke.
Guo Ke takes out a longsword, displaying True Martial Swordsmanship, rushing towards Mo Lin’s sword light.
The exchange happens in just an instant.
"Pfft!"
Blood splashes in the air, Guo Ke’s right arm is cut off and falls to the ground.
This is the disparity in strength.
Guo Ke can’t even withstand a single move from Mo Lin.
Guo Ke turns, ready to flee.
Mo Lin doesn’t give Guo Ke a chance to escape.
The next moment, Mo Lin appears before Guo Ke, blocking his path.
The Cyan Cloud Sword is placed against Guo Ke’s neck, coldly saying, "Want to die?"
Guo Ke just lifts his right leg, before helplessly stopping.
"The thing inside is very powerful, it hasn’t fully awakened yet, I advise you to leave quickly," Guo Ke tells Mo Lin.
"Nonsense, I asked you what’s inside, don’t you understand?" Mo Lin asks Guo Ke impatiently.
"Yaksha..." Guo Ke slowly says, "We’re mainly here to awaken the Yaksha in the well."
"Who ordered it?" Mo Lin asks Guo Ke.
"Jingming Daoism," Guo Ke answers honestly.
He doesn’t dare to hide anything from Mo Lin.
"What?" Mo Lin is shocked.
Jingming Daoism, that’s a Daoism with a hundred years of heritage.
Why would Daoism awaken a Yaksha?
The two are completely different whether in terms of cultivation methods or means of restriction.
Yaksha follows a heretical path.
"Jingming Daoism, who ordered it?
What’s their name?" Mo Lin continues to ask.
Guo Ke shakes his head, "I’m not sure, I only know they’re from Jingming Daoism."
"Why do you know the True Martial Ghost-Controlling Skill?" Mo Lin switches topic, asks.
Guo Ke shows a fearful expression, "I can’t say, I’ll die."
His behavior mirrors Gui Shutao’s previous demeanor exactly.
Whenever asked about Zhen Lingling, they exhibit fear.
"Don’t kill me."
Guo Ke slowly tells Mo Lin, "If all three of us die,
the Yaksha in the well will be revived."
"Even if you have celestial skills, you won’t survive."
"Heh," Mo Lin chuckles coldly, not taking Guo Ke’s words seriously at all.
"You’re Mo Lin, right?"
Beside them, Jin Xi asks Mo Lin.
Compared to Guo Ke, this person called Jin Xi is very calm.
At least he’s much better than Guo Ke.
"Yes, it’s me," Mo Lin frankly admits his identity.
"Since you’re Mo Lin, you can’t let all three of us die,"
Jin Xi straightforwardly tells Mo Lin, "The Yaksha in there restrains you."
"Restrain me?" Mo Lin doesn’t really know what would restrain him.
"The Yaksha in the well is called the Ghost-eating Yaksha," Jin Xi says slowly.
Mo Lin’s expression gradually turns serious.
Ghost-eating Yaksha, the name says it all.
Jin Xi points his right hand at Mo Lin, warning him, "If both Guo Ke and I die,
the Ghost-eating Yaksha will awaken.
The Ghost-eating Yaksha will eat all your ghosts."
He’s not threatening, just plainly stating facts.
