Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Wei Xun never expected that such a powerful ghost was hiding in Xu Yue City.

The ghost in front of him was even more formidable than Tian Qiaoxing and his group.

Previously, when Mo Lin fought with the people of the Three Corpses, he used the Three-Pointed Blade.

It was clear that the ghost before him was as troublesome as those from the Three Corpses.

Mo Lin swung the Three-Pointed Blade, slashing down directly at the evil ghost.

This move was once again blocked by the evil ghost.

This evil ghost was truly difficult to deal with.

Despite Mo Lin's attacks, it always readily countered and blocked them.

As Mo Lin was about to make his next move, a surprise occurred.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting the evil ghost directly.

The evil ghost was struck by the lightning.

Then a female figure appeared.

This woman wore a grayish-white coat and a pair of sneakers.

She had a delicate appearance, thin red lips, and large dark eyes,

with long eyelashes.

But her face looked a bit strange now, as a black line ran across her cheek.

Even more bizarre, this woman was floating mid-air.

Just like Mo Lin.

Though they were alike, there were differences too.

Mo Lin consumed Dao power to suspend himself in the air.

But this woman didn't use Dao power.

Moreover, she had not a trace of Dao power on her.

"Lei Lai!" The woman shouted.

Thunderbolts rained down densely from the sky.

The lightning was as thick as barrels.

Indiscriminately striking both friend and foe.

Mo Lin had to retreat backward, away from the area covered by the lightning.

Each bolt of lightning struck the evil ghost mercilessly.

The lightning ceased after a moment.

The evil ghost was charred black by the lightning.

Its combat ability drastically reduced.

This was not the end.

The woman's appearance suddenly changed.

Her eyes turned crimson, and her entire skin became charred red.

The woman opened her mouth, spitting out a ball of fire.

The fire engulfed the evil ghost.

The ghost struggled within the flames, desperately trying to escape.

The woman returned to her previous appearance.

She raised her palm, and bolts of lightning fell again, striking the ghost.

Under the woman's relentless assault, the ghost couldn't hold on for long.

It transformed into a black mist.

The woman gently landed, took the black mist into her hand, and swallowed it.

Her appearance then returned to normal.

The black line on her face vanished.

Replaced by the woman's beautiful cheek.

"Hello, my name is Qin Yuyu." The woman stepped forward and introduced herself to Mo Lin.

"I am the 107th successor of the Ghost Mountain Mansion."

Since she was so forthcoming, it seemed inappropriate for Mo Lin not to introduce himself.

"My name is Mo Lin..."

Compared to Qin Yuyu's introduction, Mo Lin's self-introduction seemed a bit plain.

He didn't have any special title.

Wei Xun added from the side: "She is my martial aunt, practicing the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique."

"Orthodox Daoist..." Qin Yuyu said slowly.

The Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall is quite renowned.

Qin Yuyu just happened to be passing by and saw the ghost, so she lent a hand.

For her, capturing ghosts was just a routine.

"Why is there such an evil ghost in Xu Yue City?" Qin Yuyu asked in confusion.

Mo Lin also looked at Jiang Hailing and asked: "Where did this ghost come from? Tell us."

This wasn't an ordinary ghost.

A murderous ghost.

"This ghost, I summoned three months ago from East Street."

Jiang Hailing explained with her head down: "My family is in the seafood business, and business hasn't been good lately, losing quite a bit of money. A friend suggested I keep a ghost to change my luck.

So I went to East Street, found an expert, and summoned this ghost.

At first, there was nothing, everything was normal. After summoning the ghost, my family's business indeed got better.

Initially, all it needed was a chicken each day. Later, its demands grew excessive, eventually asking for human sacrifices.

My family members died one after another."

Jiang Hailing's voice trembled, showing how terrified she was.

She too fell under the ghost's control.

If Mo Lin hadn't appeared, she might have died.

"Leave this place, you can't stay in Xu Yue City anymore." Mo Lin advised Jiang Hailing.

"Alright, I'll move out now." Having experienced this, Jiang Hailing was unwilling to linger and chose to leave.

"Someone is planning something big in Xu Yue City!"

Qin Yuyu suddenly thought of something and said: "Isn't this the legendary, ghost massacre of a city?"

"I've read about similar events in ancient books."

"Legend has it that long ago, there was a village where everyone paid tribute to ghosts.

A Ghost Immortal was born.

Someone took that Ghost Immortal to a city, where it wiped out the entire population in half a month."

"I feel this incident is similar to the ghost massacre of a city."

Qin Yuyu did have some true skills, at least a bit of real insight.

Qin Yuyu pointed at Mo Lin and Wei Xun, saying: "First slaughter the Daoists, then the living."

"You might be the first to be targeted secretly."

"Someone is playing a big game here!"

Qin Yuyu propped her chin with her right hand, mumbling: "What's the motive behind this?"

"I feel this event is different from what happened previously in Beihai."

Mo Lin asked Jiang Hailing: "Did you invite Wei Xun here today to perform a ritual?"

"I didn't!"

Jiang Hailing slowly said: "I've been staying in the Jiang Family and didn't go out. Miss Wei came herself today to perform the ritual."

Mo Lin looked at Wei Xun with a puzzled expression.

"No, that's not right! Someone clearly came to find me today, saying it was for a ritual at the Jiang Family."

Then Wei Xun was suddenly startled, "This is a trap."

With this line of thought, everything became clear.

Her lifespan had been manipulated behind the scenes.

Good thing Mo Lin discovered it; otherwise, it would have been disastrous.

"How do you know about the ghost massacre of a city?" Mo Lin asked Qin Yuyu.

"It's quite simple, I've been in Xu Yue City for a week, and this is already the second evil ghost I've encountered."

"Normally, a city wouldn't have so many evil ghosts, that's one thing."

"Secondly, many people have died recently in Xu Yue City, and they were all individuals with Dao practice, none of them ordinary.

It aligns with the saying, first slaughter the Daoists, then the living." Qin Yuyu's thoughts were clear.

As for those who died, they fell by Mo Lin's hand.

They provoked Mo Lin, causing trouble, so Mo Lin countered and killed them.

Qin Yuyu suddenly widened her eyes, as she recalled Mo Lin's name.

"Are you Mo Lin?"

"Those people all died at your hands."

She then circled around Mo Lin, giving him a look-over.

"Tsk... You seem pretty normal..."

"Why did you kill those people?" Qin Yuyu asked Mo Lin in confusion.

"They troubled me; I was only defending myself." Mo Lin reiterated.

"Being used as a pawn? Looks like you were being manipulated too." Qin Yuyu added.
