The word "powerful" doesn't even begin to describe Mo Lin.

It couldn't fully convey the shock Li Yuemei felt brought by Mo Lin at that moment.

"Really? Did Mo Lin really destroy the Xin Family? Is there no mistake?" Li Yuemei couldn't help but ask again.

It was too shocking.

"I wouldn't make a mistake." Tian Qiaoxing replied once more.

Since he had said so, there was no mistake.

Li Yuemei accepted this fact.

Her eyes lit up when she looked at Mo Lin.

"Impressive... truly impressive."

Clicking her tongue...

Truly unexpected, Mo Lin surprised her time and time again.

Every meeting with Mo Lin brought her a different surprise.

"Why are you looking for me? To avenge the Xin Family?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.

"I don't care about family conflicts, and I don't care about grievances of the dead. I'm responsible for the peace of this area."

Tian Qiaoxing asked Mo Lin, "That ghost came out, where is it?"

The destruction of the Xin Family wasn't what startled him.

It was the appearance of that ghost that alarmed him.

That ghost had been released.

That's why Tian Qiaoxing showed up.

He had been in Beihai for a long time, responsible for guarding that ghost, preventing it from being released by someone.

If that ghost wasn't captured, everyone in a city could die.

The situation would become very complicated then.

He needed to find that ghost before things got worse.

"It's dead." Mo Lin said easily.

"Dead? Are you sure?" Tian Qiaoxing asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"I'm sure, I killed it." Mo Lin said once more.

Tian Qiaoxing stood there unmoved, even though his expression couldn't be seen.

But one could feel he was assessing Mo Lin.

He didn't believe Mo Lin could kill that ghost.

He was considering whether Mo Lin's words were true or not.

Mo Lin understood that without proving it, Tian Qiaoxing wouldn't leave easily.

"I killed that ghost with this." Mo Lin said as he took out the Ten Thousand Destruction Immortal Suppression Talisman.

The moment Tian Qiaoxing saw this talisman, he nodded, turned around, and left without hesitation.

The moment Mo Lin pulled out the Ten Thousand Destruction Immortal Suppression Talisman, it was enough to prove everything.

That ghost was indeed killed by Mo Lin.

Since that was the case, there was no need to dwell on it anymore.

Tian Qiaoxing left, and Mo Lin continued eating.

Li Yuemei stared at Mo Lin, her eyes filled with stars.

"So amazing, how did you do it?"

"How are you so strong?"

"Did you really destroy the Xin Family with just one deadly level ghost?"

"What was that thing you took out just now? A magical treasure?"

Mo Lin only now realized, was Li Yuemei always so chatty?

"Hurry up and eat, stop talking." Mo Lin interrupted Li Yuemei.

Li Yuemei finally quietened down and didn't ask anymore.

After eating, Mo Lin spoke.

"What's the situation with your family now?"

When this topic was brought up, Li Yuemei's face immediately turned serious.

"I came to you to discuss this matter; my family seems to be targeted by someone."

Suddenly, she felt that saying it like that was inappropriate, and said again, "No, it should be said that the Netherworld's Nether Fire was targeted."

"Why do you say that?"

"Yesterday, my father found someone's footprints in the back mountain, and my second brother was also assassinated yesterday, nearly dying."

Li Yuemei said again, "Various signs indicate that someone is targeting our Netherworld's Nether Fire."

Li Yuemei didn't have paranoia.

Her analysis was not without reason.

The Li Family had been developing in Beihai for so long that it still had deterrent power.

Under normal circumstances, no one would offend the Li Family.

But recently, people have been frequently testing the Li Family's limits, which is very strange.

If it wasn't someone with a grudge against the Li Family, then they were coming for the Netherworld's Nether Fire.

Mo Lin lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, I came to tell you, the patriarch inheritance duel is being held tomorrow." Li Yuemei said to Mo Lin.

"Okay, I know." Mo Lin nodded and replied.

Tomorrow is the duel day, very important.

Li Yuemei was worried her two brothers might play tricks to stop Mo Lin from participating in the duel.

So she decided to have Mo Lin stay at her place.

That way, he could smoothly participate in the duel tomorrow without any unexpected incidents along the way.

Li Yuemei lived alone in a villa.

Mo Lin was arranged to sleep on the first floor, while Li Yuemei was on the second floor.

Mo Lin didn't know how long he had slept when suddenly, he felt something pushing him.

He opened his eyes.

Bing Yu appeared in front of Mo Lin.

"Master... a ghost is coming..."

Mo Lin instantly lifted himself from the bed.

"A deadly level ghost... very powerful..."

"It's here... on the first floor."

Bing Yu dashed out of the room.

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion rang out.

The glass door shattered into pieces.

Shards of glass scattered everywhere.

Bing Yu was fighting with a deadly level ghost.

The entire floor trembled, the TV, the table, all toppled over onto the floor.

It wasn't just one deadly level ghost.

In the distance... there was another deadly level ghost.

"Chen Xi!" Mo Lin shouted.

Chen Xi appeared instantly, ghost fire emanating from her body.

The ghost fire covered the surroundings.

Chen Xi instantly tackled the opponent to the ground and then swung her palm to stab at the opponent's chest.

The opponent was equally fierce, using a ghost skill to counterattack.

Mo Lin quietly watched.

These two deadly level ghosts didn't have their own consciousness.

They were like hollow shells, simply executing tasks.

They were likely controlled by someone.

Such ghosts couldn't be included in the Ghost Suppression Book.

Chen Xi fought with another ghost, battling from inside the house to outside.

The ghost fire released from Chen Xi's body incinerated the opposite side, then she seized the opportunity, broke through the opponent's defense, and tore the opponent apart alive.

And that wasn't the end; she tore the opponent apart like tearing beef jerky and then ate them piece by piece.

Afterward, she charged towards Bing Yu's direction, helping Bing Yu deal with another nightmare-level ghost.

Then she ate the opponent.

Two deadly level ghosts successfully blocked.

Li Yuemei heard fighting sounds downstairs.

Just arriving at the stairway, she saw the chaos on the first floor.

The floor piled with some shattered glass shards, and the furniture was damaged.

Clearly showing signs of a fight.

"What happened?" Li Yuemei exclaimed.

"Ghosts came, but I blocked them." Mo Lin said leisurely.

"Ghosts? Looking for me?"

Li Yuemei couldn't help but shiver, suddenly losing all sleepiness.

If she hadn't called Mo Lin here, she'd be unlucky today.

Could even be dead.

"It's alright now, continue sleeping." Mo Lin comforted Li Yuemei.

The next day...

Li Yuemei appeared with heavy dark circles, obviously didn't sleep well last night.

Today is duel day.

Li Yuemei took Mo Lin to the Li Family.

This day was very important to Li Yuemei.

If Mo Lin wins, she will become the Li Family patriarch.

If Mo Lin loses.

She will have nothing left.

By then, she could only leave the Li Family.

Li Yuemei was already prepared for the worst outcome.

Compared to her two brothers, she didn't have any advantage.

She didn't have the deep foundation like her two brothers.

Nor did she possess any special power.

She was just gambling.

Betting that Mo Lin could win.

Putting everything on Mo Lin.

Mo Lin, following behind Li Yuemei, could clearly feel her nervousness.

"Don't be so nervous, it's fine." Mo Lin spoke lightly.

Li Yuemei stiffly smiled, saying she wasn't nervous was just joking.

They soon arrived at the Li Family courtyard.

Li Gu and Li Wuya had already arrived early.

"The Xin Family, actually got annihilated, sigh... really unfortunate."

"Heard it was a Ghost-Controlling Master who wiped out the Xin Family, that Ghost-Controlling Master is truly terrifying," Li Gu said to Li Wuya slowly.

"Just say Xin Family was unlucky, provoking those they shouldn't, destined to pay the price," Li Wuya replied slowly.

Entering the courtyard, they immediately heard these two discussing the Xin Family's annihilation.

Mo Lin, seeing Li Gu at that moment, was slightly stunned.

Li Gu emitted an aura.

This aura was exactly the same as the two ghosts that had tried to assassinate Li Yuemei at the villa yesterday.

"What are you looking at?" Li Gu didn't speak; his bodyguard Sun Wendong stepped forward and scolded Mo Lin.

"Get lost..." Mo Lin responded coldly to Sun Wendong.

Sun Wendong subconsciously glanced at Li Gu to see what his attitude was.

Seeing Li Gu didn't speak, he grew bolder.

"Kid, I've disliked you for a long time."

"Just a fifth-level Ghost-Controlling Master, what's to be arrogant about?" Sun Wendong mocked Mo Lin, "I really can't understand where your confidence comes from?"

"Participate in a duel? Help Li Yuemei fight for the heir's position? Ridiculous."

"Not even checking your own weight, you think with your fifth-level Ghost-Controlling status, you can help Li Yuemei obtain the patriarch's inheritance?"

"Dreaming!"

Mo Lin frowned slightly, being confronted so directly by Sun Wendong was unpleasant for anyone.

"Mind your words... don't talk nonsense, also... I'm not a fifth-level Ghost-Controlling Master." Mo Lin's demeanor was strong.

"Wow... talking so fiercely?"

"How about a practice match between you and me? Let's see who's stronger?" Sun Wendong provocatively said to Mo Lin.

This wasn't his first time provoking Mo Lin.

Recall the first time Mo Lin met him; he showed a similar attitude.

"Scared?"

"Such a coward, don't worry, I won't kill you; I just want to teach you a lesson," Sun Wendong said again to Mo Lin.

"You sure you want to practice with me?" Mo Lin lifted his head, his cold gaze fixed on Sun Wendong.

"Sure, absolutely sure, what's wrong?"

Sun Wendong's tone was assertive; he was not afraid of Mo Lin at all.

What's there to fear about a fifth-level Ghost-Controlling Master?

"Alright, I agree." Mo Lin replied.

"Good lad, got guts." Sun Wendong's eyes showed a fierce glint, and then he summoned his contract ghost.

A deadly level ghost.

"Today I'll let you understand the difference between a fifth-level and a sixth-level Ghost-Controlling Master."

"Ever seen a deadly level contract ghost?"

"Chen Xi!" Mo Lin spoke slowly.

In the next moment, Chen Xi appeared before everyone.

Chen Xi's aura was clearly far stronger than Sun Wendong's contract ghost.

Sun Wendong was dumbfounded.

Deadly level ghost?

Seeing Mo Lin summon a deadly level ghost, he was bewildered.

He distinctly remembered Mo Lin was a fifth-level Ghost-Controlling Master; when had he become a sixth-level?
