Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 545 - 543: Tongue Is Gone

The Burial Immortal Organization’s pursuit of Mo Lin is definitely something that bastard Liang Miao did.

Besides him, there couldn’t be another person doing such a thing.

Once Mo Lin fully controls the Heng and Ha Generals, he’ll be confident enough to kill Liang Miao.

Of course, that’s something for later.

Mo Lin currently needs to temporarily retreat.

Half of Mo Lin’s power is now focused on suppressing the Heng and Ha Generals.

His strength has sharply diminished; it’s best not to stir up trouble these days.

At least, that’s what Mo Lin thinks.

After leaving the Nanming Family, Mo Lin plans to return to Beihai and stay there.

Mo Lin feels as if something is watching him.

Mo Lin looks up and sees an origami paper crane.

Soon after, the paper crane lands on Mo Lin’s hand.

Sending messages via paper cranes is a Daoist method.

Once the paper crane finds Mo Lin, it lands on him.

Mo Lin opens the paper crane and sees a message written on it.

"Please come to the Celestial Heart Bureau quickly, we are in trouble."

The note is signed by Qiu Yunshang.

This Qiu Yunshang really doesn’t consider Mo Lin an outsider.

Last time, she had Mo Lin attend a gathering for the Celestial Heart Bureau, which led to him encountering the Burial Immortal Organization in Yu Chuan.

Now she’s calling Mo Lin over again.

Mo Lin initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to go.

After all, he still needs to show some respect to Cui Ming.

...

Upon arriving at the Celestial Heart Bureau, Mo Lin senses the oppressive atmosphere there.

There are about a dozen bodies lying on the ground, covered with white cloth.

Clearly, people have died again.

Qiu Yunshang’s eyes are red, a sign that she has just cried.

"Lord Mo Lin, you’re here," Qiu Yunshang slowly greets Mo Lin.

"What happened?" Mo Lin asks Qiu Yunshang in confusion.

"They died; all those who went to investigate the train incident are dead," Qiu Yunshang says to Mo Lin slowly.

Mo Lin knows about the train incident.

Back in Fuhai, two matters were discussed.

The first one was investigating the Deceitful People, and the second was looking into the train’s Immortality Incident.

Mo Lin remembers that about fifty people went to investigate the train incident at that time.

Among them, three were Immortal Cultivators.

"Did nobody manage to escape alive?" Mo Lin inquires of Qiu Yunshang.

"No," Qiu Yunshang shakes her head, replying to Mo Lin.

"I’ve discussed it with several big shots in the East District; we’ll jointly investigate the train incident."

With so many people dead at the Celestial Heart Bureau, there has to be an explanation.

Mo Lin lifts the white cloth slightly and glances at the corpses.

Their expressions are twisted in terror; they were scared to death.

These are Daoist Cultivators; what have they not seen?

Being scared to death, isn’t that ridiculous?

If they had been killed, it would be understandable, but being scared to death, this way of dying is just too comical.

"Don’t go; you can’t investigate the train incident," Mo Lin advises Qiu Yunshang slowly: "Even Immortal Cultivators died in there; you should stay out of it.

Wait until Cui Ming returns to discuss it further."

Qiu Yunshang looks at the statue of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and says slowly, "I want to borrow Divine Power to investigate the train incident."

She intends to carry something associated with the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, borrowing her power for protection.

"Why are you so intent on investigating the train incident?" Mo Lin finds it strange.

Despite knowing the dangers, why is Qiu Yunshang determined to go? Is she crazy?

"My senior brother, Chen Chenzi, took the Cyan Cloud Sword to investigate the train incident and hasn’t returned to this day."

Qiu Yunshang looks troubled, "The Cyan Cloud Sword is a Divine Artifact; it can’t be lost."

That’s why she’s determined to investigate the train incident.

"I can’t go," Mo Lin quickly states.

Mo Lin is busy suppressing the Heng and Ha Generals within himself, his strength halved, unable to exert his power, reducing trouble for himself is best.

"You don’t need to accompany me to find my senior brother; I just want you to guard the Celestial Heart Bureau for me," Qiu Yunshang slowly tells Mo Lin.

"I can do that." Mo Lin agrees to guard the Celestial Heart Bureau.

Since Qiu Yunshang is insistent on finding her senior brother, Mo Lin can’t stop her and can only agree.

So Qiu Yunshang leaves after briefing the people at the Celestial Heart Bureau on some matters.

Mo Lin is in charge of watching over the Celestial Heart Bureau.

The Celestial Heart Bureau has someone on duty, and Mo Lin’s job is to handle unexpected situations.

Mo Lin sits cross-legged in the room, manipulating the Ghost Qi within to tame the Heng and Ha Generals.

"Lord Mo Lin, someone is here at the Celestial Heart Bureau and requires you to meet them," a disciple reports slowly at the doorway.

"Understood." Mo Lin gets up and leaves the room.

If they’re calling for Mo Lin, it must not be a trivial matter.

Mo Lin follows the disciple to the hall.

There he sees three people standing.

The three appear dignified, one woman and two men, standing in the hall.

"Are you currently in charge of the Celestial Heart Bureau?" the man in blue clothing asks Mo Lin.

"Yes." Mo Lin nods.

"I am He Xiong, from the East District’s He Family, Ghost-Controlling Lineage," He Xiong introduces himself to Mo Lin.

"What brings you here?" Mo Lin asks with curiosity.

"The Great Spirit Mountain has been destroyed; evil spirits have invaded, and all major forces in the East District are gathering at the Great Spirit Mountain.

Please send someone to the Great Spirit Mountain to help suppress the evil spirits," He Xiong slowly says to Mo Lin.

"Which forces have gone?

How many people?

How many Immortal Cultivators?

How many Red Dust Immortals?

How many Daoist Cultivators?" Mo Lin asks He Xiong.

Mo Lin knows more about the Great Spirit Mountain issue than others.

If evil spirits invade, a small number of people can’t stop them.

"Around five hundred people.

Ten Immortal Cultivators," He Xiong reports to Mo Lin.

Upon hearing this number, Mo Lin shows a hint of disappointment, advising He Xiong: "Too few people.

Such a small number won’t hold the Great Spirit Mountain.

You’ve underestimated the horror of evil spirits."

Mo Lin was the first to witness the power of the evil spirits.

No one understands them better than Mo Lin does.

"How many people do you think should be arranged to resist the evil spirits at the Great Spirit Mountain?" He Xiong asks Mo Lin.

"Every force in the East District should mobilize completely, only then can the evil spirits be resisted."

"What are you thinking? Just some evil spirits, is it necessary to mobilize all forces of the East District?" He Xiong clearly disagrees with Mo Lin’s words.

"You should leave; I won’t arrange people to go to the Great Spirit Mountain," Mo Lin directly dismisses He Xiong.

Sending people to the Great Spirit Mountain now would be akin to sending them to their deaths.

The problem with the evil spirits at the Great Spirit Mountain isn’t something that can be solved with a few words.

"Coward," He Xiong scoffs, then leaves with his companions.

The following days were calm.

On the night of the fifth day.

"Senior Sister Qiu has returned."

The sentence awakened everyone.

Mo Lin also woke up and went out to check the situation.

Qiu Yunshang stands in the courtyard.

She is covered in blood, her hair disheveled, and her face looks exhausted.

Her right arm dangles, missing below the elbow.

She has blood in her mouth.

Initially, she left with over twenty people, but now she is the only one who has returned.

The Jade Pendant on Qiu Yunshang’s chest is also shattered.

This pendant was her protective amulet, containing the power of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady.

Without it, she might not have made it back alive.

Qiu Yunshang drags a two-meter-long graphite-colored treasured sword in her left hand.

She brought back the Cyan Cloud Sword.

Qiu Yunshang opens her mouth and spits out a mouthful of black blood.

Mo Lin suddenly notices that Qiu Yunshang’s tongue is missing.
