The middle-aged man acted as if he were abusing a stray dog by the roadside.

Hongyan Xun looked miserable, her disheveled hair matted with blood.

Mo Lin was puzzled. How could a dignified level four Ghost-Controlling Master end up like this?

Hongyan Xun was not just anybody.

She was a level four Ghost-Controlling Master.

With such strength, even if she couldn't win, she could still escape.

Unless she encountered someone like Mo Lin.

But such a situation was almost impossible!

After all, no one could, like Mo Lin, achieve a Yin Department position while still alive.

When Hongyan Xun looked up and saw Mo Lin, her body trembled slightly.

Her eyes instantly became red.

Despite the previous abuse, she hadn't begged for mercy.

When the middle-aged man stabbed her skin with a knife, she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound of pain.

When the middle-aged man whipped her with an iron whip, rendering her numb, she didn't utter a sound.

Such a strong person, yet she was crying at this moment....

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

As Hongyan Xun looked up and met Mo Lin's eyes.

Mo Lin saw this scene.

Feeling heartache!

The middle-aged man grabbed Hongyan Xun's hair with his right hand, lifting her head.

"Oh! You still know how to cry? I thought you were dead already!"

The middle-aged man coldly asked Li Yuemei, who was standing in front of him, "Miss Li, is there something you need?"

"Give me this woman, and you won't have to worry about Li San anymore."

The middle-aged man immediately became reluctant.

"Miss Li, isn't it a bit outrageous to settle this with just a word?"

"This matter is currently under the control of the eldest young master," the middle-aged man didn't take Li Yuemei's words seriously.

Just as Li Yuemei was about to say something, Mo Lin interjected, "Was it you who beat her like this?"

His focus differed from Li Yuemei's.

Mo Lin was more concerned about who had beaten Hongyan Xun like this.

"None of your damn business!"

The middle-aged man impatiently scolded Mo Lin, "Who the hell do you think you are to meddle?"

Bang!

The sound of an explosion echoed.

Chen Xi's figure appeared in front, her hand tightly gripping the middle-aged man, then slamming him fiercely to the ground.

The floor cracked from the impact.

The middle-aged man coughed up fresh blood from being smashed.

The sudden turn of events caught the middle-aged man off guard.

He hurriedly summoned his Contract Ghost!

The Contract Ghost had just appeared.

Chen Xi directly devoured his Contract Ghost.

Swallowed it whole!

From the moment his Contract Ghost appeared to being devoured, it hadn't even been ten seconds.

Upon seeing this female ghost, the middle-aged man's face turned pale.

"Nightmare Level!"

This guy's ghost was actually Nightmare Level.

This level of ghost was on par with the Li family's eldest young master's ghost.

"Brother... let's talk this out," the middle-aged man admitted defeat and said slowly.

Li Yuemei did not intervene.

She clearly sensed that Mo Lin was very angry.

To prevent Mo Lin at this time would be unwise, right?

Besides, Mo Lin's friend was almost beaten into this state.

Any normal person would be angry, right?

If Mo Lin didn't get angry, she would even think Mo Lin was cold-blooded.

"I'm asking you! Who beat her like this?" Mo Lin repeated.

"It was me... I just..." The middle-aged man had just started to explain.

"Pfft.."

Chen Xi's hand pierced through the middle-aged man's chest, directly ending his life.

Since it was him, there was nothing more to say.

Li Yuemei still didn't speak.

Dead is dead!

After all, she was bound to fall out with Li Wuya sooner or later.

Today's event was just a precursor to falling out with Li Wuya.

"He's dead; I'll take responsibility for this. I'll handle everything,"

Li Yuemei slowly said to Mo Lin.

"But don't run away!"

"If you run, I'll be in trouble."

Li Yuemei was willing to take the fall, mainly hoping Mo Lin would help her.

But if Mo Lin ran away, it would be troublesome.

Li Yuemei had no trump card against her brother.

"I won't run; I haven't obtained the Netherworld's Nether Fire yet."

With the allure of the Netherworld's Nether Fire, Mo Lin wouldn't run.

Li Yuemei had no idea the attraction Netherworld's Nether Fire held for Mo Lin.

"That's good." With Mo Lin's promise, Li Yuemei was relieved.

Mo Lin went forward and slowly helped Hongyan Xun up.

"Thank you.." Hongyan Xun expressed her gratitude towards Mo Lin.

"No need to thank me; I'm the one who got you into trouble," Mo Lin said slowly.

To say Mo Lin got Hongyan Xun into trouble isn't wrong.

But it's not really Mo Lin's fault either.

After all, when facing Li San back then, if Mo Lin hadn't stepped in to save her,

Hongyan Xun would have died.

"It's not your fault.. don't feel guilty.." Hongyan Xun didn't want to burden Mo Lin with guilt and joked.

"How did you get like this? Who did it?"

The middle-aged man just now was merely a level three Ghost-Controlling Master.

Mo Lin didn't think he could capture Hongyan Xun.

Never mind capturing Hongyan Xun; he couldn't even be her match.

Hongyan Xun showed a wan smile, "I was plotted against."

"Sigh... I blame myself for not having a sense of danger."

Mo Lin couldn't sense the slightest Ghost Qi in Hongyan Xun.

It was as if it had been sealed.

Mo Lin lifted Hongyan Xun's arm, revealing a Copper Coin attached to it.

A red string was wrapped around the Copper Coin.

Indeed... the Contract Ghost had been sealed.

No wonder she got captured.

Turns out it was because her Contract Ghost was sealed.

Mo Lin didn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, if mishandled, it could cause irreversible harm to Hongyan Xun's Contract Ghost.

Mainly because Mo Lin didn't understand.. these Daoist magics.

The only thing he knew now was using Thunder Talismans.

"Who did it?" Mo Lin asked Hongyan Xun.

"It's fine...." Hongyan Xun said softly.

She clearly didn't want to cause trouble for Mo Lin.

"Actually, it doesn't matter..." Hongyan Xun said again.

"Afraid of causing me trouble?"

"Do you underestimate me? I can handle such a small matter."

Mo Lin would dare to capture the Yin Messenger of Naihe Bridge.

Has he ever been afraid?

Can't even solve such a small issue?

What does she think of Mo Lin?

A nobody?

Mo Lin had a very good impression of Hongyan Xun.

For example, when Liu Feng's daughter was captured in the suburbs.

Back then, Hongyan Xun saw Mo Lin, gave him due respect, and left without causing trouble.

And again, back at the Li Family.

Hongyan Xun always considered Mo Lin, and in the face of danger, her first reaction was to let Mo Lin leave first.

Although those were minor things.

They are enough to prove she is a good person.

After causing trouble with the Li Family, Hongyan Xun often messaged Mo Lin, warning him about the Li Family's activities.

Moreover, they were considered friends.

For all these reasons, Mo Lin couldn't just stand by and watch Hongyan Xun get bullied.

It's not about being a hero to save the damsel, just wanting to stand up for a friend.

"The Copper Coin technique is from the Celestial Master Mansion." Li Yuemei interjected.

"Again with the Celestial Master Mansion..."

A surge of anger rushed from his chest to his brain.

Yesterday, when Mo Lin fought with the Craft Cultivator, it was also the Celestial Master Mansion stirring things up.

Hearing the name of the Celestial Master Mansion again made Mo Lin a bit irate.

"I need to see just how capable this Celestial Master Mansion is..."

"Picking on me time and again."

"What's the matter? Do they think I'm easy to bully?"

"Or do they think I have no temper?"
