Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 565 - 563: The Village

It’s estimated that Qiu Yunshang previously experienced a similar situation here.

Mo Lin glanced around, Zhang Fan and the others had disappeared somewhere.

Yun Xue’xue raised her right hand, and as her palm lifted, snowflakes appeared in the air.

The snowflakes gathered and formed an arrow, shooting towards Mo Lin.

Mo Lin gathered Immortal Qi and raised his hand to block the arrow.

A massive force swept in, pushing Mo Lin backward more than ten meters.

Mo Lin’s pupils shrank suddenly, Yun Xue’xue in front of him actually possessed the same abilities as the real Yun Xue’xue.

The West Mountain Ruins are truly strange.

Since Mo Lin stepped in here, all strange things happened successively without interruption.

Mo Lin dared not show any carelessness, using twenty percent of the Snake Immortal’s power, with bright red Immortal Qi surrounding him.

Mo Lin gathered Immortal Qi and charged towards Yun Xue’xue.

Yun Xue’xue was like a robot, with no emotional fluctuations, charging towards Mo Lin.

In the clash between Mo Lin and Yun Xue’xue’s strengths, Mo Lin’s Immortal Technique didn’t have the slightest advantage.

Yun Xue’xue swung her right hand, a chill poured out, rushing towards Mo Lin.

Mo Lin used Immortal Ghost Skill: Soul Stealing.

Ghost Qi gathered and then enveloped Yun Xue’xue, and in the next moment, pitch-black blade slashed towards Yun Xue’xue.

Yun Xue’xue was expressionless, waving her hand, a huge white lotus appeared on the ground, exploding in mid-air.

Titanic force swept past, slamming Mo Lin into the fleshy wall, his internal organs churning.

Mo Lin raised his hand, gathered Ghost Qi, and used Ghost Technique.

The pitch-black Ghost Qi coiled around Mo Lin.

Mo Lin displayed Palace Master Level Ghost Technique.

A colorful garment appeared on Mo Lin, gathering Nether Sword, charging towards Yun Xue’xue.

Although Mo Lin’s Immortal Technique couldn’t compare to Yun Xue’xue, his Palace Master Level Ghost Technique was still formidable.

Mo Lin swung the Nether Sword towards that snow-white lotus, shattering it in the next moment.

The Nether Sword then struck Yun Xue’xue’s body, splitting her in two like paper, slain by Mo Lin.

Mo Lin wielded the Nether Sword, hacking at the fleshy wall, determined to break out from there.

With every swing of Mo Lin’s sword, yellow liquid oozed out.

The next moment, a warm current surged forward, sweeping Mo Lin along.

Mo Lin felt as if he was spat out by something.

Mo Lin’s body slammed hard onto the ground, and he looked forward.

There lay a massive, worm-like creature.

This creature had no head, emitting a strange aura.

Mo Lin had just been spat out from its belly.

The worm-like creature crawled slowly across the opposite bank along the train tracks.

As it gradually moved away, its body returned to the shape of a train.

Is this the so-called eerie train?

Mo Lin was covered in yellow viscous liquid, and he looked around to see if there were any living people.

Soon he spotted some familiar corpses.

These were people who came to explore with Mo Lin; he survived the worm’s belly, but they hadn’t.

"Mo Lin, you’re alive, that’s great."

A male voice sounded out.

Mo Lin turned towards the voice, recognizing it was Chen Li.

Mo Lin’s first reaction was to look at Chen Li’s arm, where the red string was tied.

Mo Lin kept his distance from Chen Li.

During the previous battle with Yun Xue’xue, Mo Lin’s red string had fallen somewhere unknown.

"Mo Lin, there’s really an Immortal here, the rumors are true." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Chen Li shouted excitedly to Mo Lin.

"An Immortal?" Mo Lin asked Chen Li skeptically.

"Come with me, I’ll take you to see."

Chen Li led the way ahead.

Without any hesitation, Mo Lin thrusted the Nether Sword directly at Chen Li’s chest.

Earlier on the train, Zhang Fan had made it very clear, whoever wasn’t wearing the red string should be killed.

Mo Lin wasn’t wearing red now, yet Chen Li remained unperturbed, which was suspicious.

Mo Lin’s Nether Sword pierced through Chen Li’s chest, without any blood spilling out.

Chen Li twisted his head 180 degrees, face contorted, "You discovered it."

Mo Lin twisted the Nether Sword to the side, cutting a large hole in Chen Li’s chest.

Chen Li’s body transformed into a wooden figure.

Mo Lin surveyed his surroundings.

In the distance, towering trees grew, each requiring at least three people to encircle.

The ground resembled a sandy beach.

A mysterious aura pervaded the place.

It felt especially oppressive to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin squinted his eyes and searched for Ghosts.

After about ten seconds, Mo Lin finally detected traces of Ghost Qi.

To the east, three kilometers away, there was Ghost Qi.

Mo Lin moved eastward.

Along the way, he didn’t encounter anything strange.

Upon reaching the place with Ghost Qi, Mo Lin was startled.

A village?

How unexpected that Mo Lin stumbled upon a village in this eerie place.

It was a small village, made of wooden huts, with about a dozen in total.

Could people really live here?

What do they eat?

The soil being sandy, it hardly contained any yellow earth, making it difficult to grow fruits and vegetables.

As soon as Mo Lin stepped into the village,

perhaps coincidentally, all the wooden doors opened simultaneously.

The people in the huts came out.

"Brother, are you from out of town?" a little girl about a meter tall asked Mo Lin.

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.

Sweeping a glance, there were seventeen people, none with any Dao Qi in them, all ordinary folk.

At least, they currently were ordinary folk.

"Are you also here searching for immortal traces?" the little girl asked Mo Lin.

Mo Lin had already heard similar words many times before.

Whether there truly were immortal traces or it was just a deceitful facade was unknown.

"I’m looking for a ghost," Mo Lin replied slowly.

"We have a ghost here, who went out and will return tonight, would you like to come to my house and wait?" the little girl invited Mo Lin.

"No, I won’t go." Mo Lin declined decisively.

"It’s very dangerous outside at night. You’d better come stay at my house, you mustn’t wander out at night," the little girl insisted.

"Alright then."

Mo Lin couldn’t tell if the girl’s words were true or not.

Choosing the safer option,

Mo Lin accepted the little girl’s invitation into her home.

The house was simple, with just a bed and chair and nothing else.

No pots, bowls, or pans, nothing.

Just a bed and a chair.

The little girl watched Mo Lin sit on the chair, revealing a knowing smile.

Unknown time passed when night suddenly fell.

Immediately, a bright red full moon hung in the sky.

Mo Lin looked out the window.

The wind was blowing outside.

The village people left their homes, gathering together, looking up at the red moon, and kneeling before it.
