CHAPTER 1697: CHAPTER 999: HUANGQUAN CITY LORD (2)

Chapter 999

At the beginning, we were guards at the border and encountered an evil cultivator who wanted to capture our souls for pill refining. It was Lingling who saved us, allowing us to gradually make it to where we are today! Without Lingling, there would be no us! Now, Lingling and Jiuli are only here in the Ghost World to find her Grandpa and Cousin’s souls, not for any other purpose. How could we not help with this..." Dawen said, looking at Ning City Lord.

"Is it really just about finding souls? You should know that even if you find their souls, you can’t take them away!" Ning City Lord looked at Mo Jiuli after hearing this, falling silent for a long time before speaking.

"I know, I just haven’t even seen them once, and I’m aware that there’s a chance we might not truly find them. But if there’s even the slightest chance, I don’t want to give up!" Mo Jiuli said, looking at Ning City Lord.

"Alright, then tell me how they died? I’ll see if I can help you find out!" Ning City Lord sighed softly, having looked into Mo Jiuli’s eyes for a long time before speaking.

"Ning City Lord, you..." Dawen said, somewhat surprised.

"Hmph, don’t I know you lot? Since you’ve brought them to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion, wasn’t it to distract me so they could sneak into my study room to check the ghost records?" Ning City Lord glared at Dawen and Xiaowen in a huff.

"We... we just wanted to help Jiuli!" Dawen and Xiaowen said, a bit bashfully.

"Since she’s your benefactor who saved your lives, I’ll help this time. If not for you two informing me back then, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to become City Lord; I might still be a guard at the City Lord’s Mansion! Don’t be so polite! I’ll call you Jiuli as well. Tell me your Grandpa’s and Cousin’s names!" Ning City Lord said to Mo Jiuli.

"Thank you, Ning City Lord. My Grandpa is Mo Qingtian, and my Cousin is Mo Cheng!" Mo Jiuli said gratefully.

"I’ll check it for you." Ning City Lord said.

Then, he took a notebook from his bookshelf, opened it, softly placed his hand on it, and chanted unknown spells. Not long after, names began to float out from the notebook, and Mo Jiuli saw many names of Mo Qingtian, each followed by a descriptive note...

"Jiuli, there are many people named Mo Qingtian. Take a closer look to see if any are your Grandpa. These are within the Three Worlds, all those named Mo Qingtian and their information!" Ning City Lord divided his attention to Mo Jiuli.

"Jiuli, give us your Grandpa’s and Cousin’s information. We’ll help you look. This control consumes much of Ning City Lord’s soul power. We can help you search faster!" Xiaowen immediately said.

"My Grandpa was from the Lingtian Continent Mo Residence, along with my Cousin! They were both killed by the Divine Doctor Sect Master from the Haotian Continent!" Mo Jiuli said.

"Alright, let’s search together!" Xiaowen said.

Thus, Mo Jiuli, Lingling, Dawen, and Xiaowen, the four persons simultaneously stared at the floating names, starting to search quickly! Ning City Lord, upon hearing Mo Jiuli’s words, continued to search based on the corresponding information, but did not find anything that matched the criteria...

After all the information was checked, none of them met Mo Qingtian’s criteria! Seeing Mo Jiuli a bit disappointed, Ning City Lord said: "Look for your Cousin Mo Cheng instead, maybe finding one will lead us to the other’s whereabouts?"
