Today was the 15th of July, the middle of the full moon.
Today, all the ghosts who had cleansed their sins in the netherworld would wander in the world of the living until midnight, when they would be brought back to the netherworld by a ghost officer.
Therefore, the Ren Family Town today was particularly deserted. No, to be precise, the entire Yan Huang Land was in the same situation.
Although the commoners did not have much to do, they only needed to stay at home. At most, they would arrange for some tributes to be placed in case the elders of the family did not have anything to eat when they came to visit.
However, for cultivators, especially those who had registered in the underworld, today was the busiest day.
Although Ninth Uncle was only the secretary of the Coin Stamp Office, he was also very busy today. He was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. After issuing the summoning order for his fellow disciples, he brought Qiusheng and Wencai to patrol the entire Ren Family Town to prevent any mistakes.
After all, all the ghosts that came to the Ren family town last night had run away. God knew what they would do. If someone died because of this, even if it was just an injury, he, the director of the Coin Sealing Department, would be finished, even if he had the protection of the Mao Mountain ancestors.
Hmm…although the possibility of this happening was very small.
In the evening.
In the mortuary, Ninth Uncle, who had been busy for a day, walked into the door with Qiu Sheng and Qiu Sheng. They were exhausted. However, when they pushed the door open, they suddenly felt a boundless pressure on their faces.
In the courtyard, more than ten middle-aged Taoists in Taoist robes were sitting upright on both sides. Behind them, young disciples of Mao Mountain were staring straight ahead. Those who didn't know better would think that they were participating in some world-shocking meeting.
Lin Shiqi sat in the middle of the group with a solemn expression on his face. He tapped his fingers on the table gently. Every time he tapped, it was like a hammer striking into the hearts of these people.
Seeing Ninth Uncle come over, the group of Taoists immediately stood up and greeted him as if they had seen their relatives.
" Senior Brother Lin, you're back!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin. Did anything happen in town today?”
" Senior Brother Lin, it's been so many years, but you're still as elegant as ever. Amazing…"
"Senior Brother Lin…"
Uncle Nine responded to his fellow disciples in confusion. It took him nearly three minutes to pass through the crowd and come to Lin Shiqi. He whispered,"Seventeen, what's going on?”
Lin Shiqi looked at the Daoists and said,""It's nothing. It's just that these martial uncles are a little grumbling. What can I do? I could only reason with them a little, and now it's like this…"
As soon as he said that, the dozen or so Daoists curled their lips and complained to themselves, Are you being reasonable? You're using your strength to suppress others.
However, they had never expected that Lin Shiqi, the eldest disciple of Ninth Uncle, was already at the late stage of Spirit Refining Stage at the age of seventeen. They were shocked and terrified.
According to the rules of Mao Mountain since ancient times, the position of sect master had always been occupied by the capable and virtuous. Although Eldest Brother Shi Jian's cultivation was indeed stronger than Ninth Uncle's, he was too domineering. Moreover, over the years, Shi Jian's body had actually developed an evil aura. Moreover, his good-for-nothing disciple Shi Shaojian...
If nothing unexpected happened, Ninth Uncle would have a 90% chance of becoming the sect master of Mao Mountain. Once Ninth Uncle became the sect master, Lin Shiqi's status as the head disciple would rise. Even the other martial uncles would have to act according to his wishes.
This was also the main reason why they did not resist.
If they were like this, then it was easy to imagine what kind of people their disciples were. All of them practically idolized Lin Shiqi.
Ninth Uncle's mouth twitched slightly. He secretly gestured to Lin Shiqi before sitting down on the main seat. He said awkwardly,""Junior Brothers, I'm sorry to have called you here despite my busy schedule. This matter is truly too big and I can't handle it alone. If there's anything I didn't do well, I hope Junior Brothers can forgive me.”
"Senior Brother Lin, you must be joking. You and I are from the same sect. There's no need to be so polite.”
"That's how it should be. If senior brother is in trouble, as junior brothers, we naturally won't shirk our responsibilities.”
"Senior Brother, please be direct. How can we stand by and watch if there's anything?”
“……”
The group of Daoists expressed their opinions one after another, and Ninth Uncle was very pleased with their attitude. Even though he had tried his best to suppress it, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, betraying his heart.
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the entrance of the mortuary."Whoa, why are all of you so enthusiastic today? Is the sect master here?"
Whoosh…
As soon as he said this, the air in the mortuary instantly froze. The people in the courtyard immediately looked at the door.
At the door, four middle-aged Daoists and six young men crossed the threshold and walked in. However, their faces were full of arrogance. Even when they looked at Ninth Uncle, they did not have the slightest respect for this senior brother.
Ninth Uncle's face instantly darkened, but he still stood up."So it's Junior Martial Brother Mu. Take a seat.”
"Humph! Senior Brother Lin, Eldest Senior Brother hasn't arrived yet and Senior Brother is already sitting on the main seat. Isn't this a little too much? Do you still have any respect for Eldest Senior Brother?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ninth Uncle stood up and laughed angrily."Junior Brother Mu is right. This seat should belong to Senior Brother, but as the host, is there a problem with me sitting here?”
" Of course not," Priest Mu said," But, I would think that you don't treat your guests well. Besides, it seems that you're the one who caused trouble this time. You asked us to come and help you, right?" But Senior Brother, do you have the sincerity to ask for help now? Since that's the case, I think it's better not to come to this gathering!”
Boom...
As soon as Priest Mu finished speaking, he was sent flying backward uncontrollably. In the next moment, the crowd saw Lin Shiqi, who was standing beside Ninth Uncle, leave his original spot. Right now, he was stepping on Priest Mu's chest, looking down at him from above.
Lin Shiqi's entire body was flashing with lightning, and his aura was rising. He was like a furious tiger king staring at its prey.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Seventeen…" Ninth Uncle's lips twitched.
Lin Shiqi exhaled and suppressed the killing intent in his heart. He said coldly,""If there's a next time, I'll kill you. Go sit there…"
