Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 556 - 554: A Strange Occurrence

The blue little ghost appeared very flustered, its sharp voice echoing in the air.

"No need to be so panicked, I already know about the Ghost Mother’s situation," Mo Lin slowly said to the blue little ghost.

Upon hearing Mo Lin’s words, the blue little ghost immediately quieted down.

"Mother asked me to tell you that she hadn’t betrayed you.

She was merely tricked by someone."

The blue little ghost drooped its sharp ears, revealing a somewhat fatigued expression.

"She also asked me to tell you to find the descendants of the Yuan family, Yuan Tiantian. Once you meet her, many things can be investigated."

It seems the Ghost Mother had a premonition about the events to come and took the appropriate actions in advance.

It’s roughly as Mo Lin expected.

"Let me see what the structure of this thing is," Yun Xue’xue was curious about the black jar and prepared to pick it up to take a look.

Just as her right hand touched the jar, an unexpected incident occurred.

The jar instantly turned bright red from its original black color, and patterns resembling veins emerged.

A feeling of intense pain assaulted her, and Yun Xue’xue had to let go.

She glanced helplessly at Mo Lin; now only Mo Lin could touch this jar.

This should also be the restriction set by the Ghost Mother.

Mo Lin reached into the black jar, preparing to find a little ghost that could locate people.

As Mo Lin envisioned this thought, a little ghost appeared in the palm of his hand.

This is the miraculous aspect of the black jar.

As long as you think about the ghost you want to find, you can pull that ghost out.

Mo Lin pulled out a pitch-black little ghost.

This little ghost was about the size of Mo Lin’s fist, with a portly body resembling a pig-shaped piggy bank.

After the black little ghost came out, the blue little ghost returned to the black jar on its own.

"Lord Mo Lin, what are your orders?" the black little ghost inquired to Mo Lin.

"Help me find someone named Yuan Tiantian."

Locating someone usually requires certain items from that person.

Finding Yuan Tiantian is simple because she shares a bloodline with the Ghost Mother.

So there’s no need for any items to find Yuan Tiantian.

"Alright."

The black little ghost nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes tightly closed.

After about ten minutes, the black little ghost finally opened its eyes. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Found her. Yuan Tiantian is in Longzhou County; the exact location can be further investigated upon arrival in Longzhou County."

The black little ghost said slowly.

Thus, Mo Lin took Yun Xue’xue and Feng Mingyu to Longzhou County.

Traveling from the Cultivation Hall to Longzhou County takes about half a day’s time.

Feng Mingyu drove, while Mo Lin sat in the back to recover his strength.

The matter of the Ghost Mother must be clarified.

To see who is pulling tricks behind Mo Lin’s back.

Snatching away Mo Lin’s Ghost Mother is no different from killing Mo Lin.

Half a day later, they finally arrived in Longzhou County.

Longzhou County appeared somewhat desolate.

Back when Mo Lin slaughtered the Yuan Clan here, it left the place nearly a ghost town.

Possibly due to the absence of people, the concrete ground had cracked, and weeds grew within the crevices.

"Find the person," Mo Lin slowly said to the black little ghost.

The little ghost squatted on the ground, eyes closed, searching for the person, and after over ten minutes, it opened its eyes.

"The person is not in Longzhou County anymore; they are in Xu Yue City," the little ghost said slowly to Mo Lin.

At hearing those words, Mo Lin was momentarily stunned.

Yun Xue’xue immediately charged forward, angrily seizing the black little ghost, "Are you playing us?"

Earlier it said Longzhou County, now it says Xu Yue City.

The two are entirely different places.

How is this possible?

The journey between these two locations would take at least a day.

Could it be that Yuan Tiantian knew they were coming and escaped in advance?

Even if someone captured Yuan Tiantian, it wouldn’t be possible to monitor Mo Lin and his team’s movement trajectories at all times.

"Let’s go to Xu Yue City," Mo Lin said slowly once more.

So, the group set out for Xu Yue City.

Xu Yue City was still reasonably prosperous; though it had also suffered calamity in the past, it was much better off than Longzhou County.

"The person has returned to Longzhou County," the black little ghost stated again.

In that moment, Yun Xue’xue’s eyes were already brimming with murderous intent.

She strongly suspected the little ghost in front of her was playing tricks.

Even Mo Lin was frowning.

"Are you sure you’re not making a mistake?" Mo Lin didn’t think the little ghost would play tricks; he just thought it might have made a mistake.

"No mistake, seeking people is what I do best," the little ghost answered with a firm attitude.

"Then what’s going on here?"

When Mo Lin goes to Xu Yue City, Yuan Tiantian goes to Longzhou County?

When Mo Lin goes to Longzhou County, Yuan Tiantian comes to Xu Yue City?

Why does it feel like our actions are completely anticipated by someone?

"Do you suppose someone knows about our actions?"

Feng Mingyu proposed an idea, "It feels like surveillance; the other party knows our moves, so they leave on purpose before we act."

Though his words seemed incredible.

It was indeed possible.

Mo Lin exchanged glances with Feng Mingyu and Yun Xue’xue.

"Let’s head to Longzhou County once more to find out," Mo Lin suggested.

And so, the group ventured back to Longzhou County.

Sure enough, as Mo Lin predicted.

Upon arriving back in Longzhou County, Yuan Tiantian was nowhere to be seen.

"The person changed locations again; they went to Yanjing," the black little ghost said once more.

Even an idiot would realize they’re being played at this point.

It’s as if someone is deliberately guiding Mo Lin and his party to Yanjing.

If previous attempts were mere coincidences, this time affirmed their suspicions.

All of Mo Lin and his companions’ actions were unwittingly exposed somehow.

Surely there aren’t any spies?

Feng Mingyu?

Yun Xue’xue?

These two can’t possibly have any issues.

Yun Xue’xue’s face had darkened by now.

She clenched her fair fists tightly, biting her silver teeth, her cheeks tinged with red, clearly angry.

Being led around like a dog, who wouldn’t be furious?

"Is it this ghost with the problem, or is something else going on?"

Truth be told, Yun Xue’xue really suspected this black little ghost had issues.

The black little ghost was curled up near Mo Lin, trembling all over in fear.

"I’m innocent, I have no issues at all," the black little ghost quickly explained.

It took refuge beneath Mo Lin, appearing rather pitiable.

If they couldn’t find Yuan Tiantian, then the Ghost Mother’s affair couldn’t make progress.

"How about returning to the Celestial Heart Bureau? To ask whether Qiu Yunshang knows anything," Feng Mingyu suggested.

The little ghost could find Yuan Tiantian’s location, but the other party always left right before Mo Lin.

That’s extremely odd.

No progress was being made in finding Yuan Tiantian, so they could only head back to the Celestial Heart Bureau to inquire if anyone knew the situation.

So the group headed to the Celestial Heart Bureau.

Upon arriving at the Celestial Heart Bureau, an oppressive feeling suddenly emerged.

The closer they got to the Celestial Heart Bureau, the stronger the oppressive feel grew.

Soon after, Mo Lin saw that the Bureau’s array had been activated.

Anyone approaching the Celestial Heart Bureau was enveloped by the array.

This was the oppressive aura from the Nine Heavens Profound Lady.

Ahead, many disciples in white stood on the steps, guarding diligently.

What happened to make these people so tense?

They even activated the grand array.
