Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 174: It's a Trap


"Trouble? What's wrong?" Mo Lin asked Lin Xiaoman.

The image of Wei Xun and others immediately appeared in Mo Lin's mind.

Back then, they escaped from Xu Yue City together, but were blocked on the road. Mo Lin stayed behind alone while Wei Xun and the others left.

"They are trapped in Cloud Village by evil cultivators." Lin Xiaoman had just received the news.

Normally, she wouldn't bother with such trivial matters, but because of Mo Lin, Lin Xiaoman paid special attention to this issue.

Cloud Village is a village adjacent to Xu Yue City.

After parting ways with Mo Lin, Wei Xun and the others left on their own and later encountered a group of evil cultivators, thus becoming trapped in Cloud Village.

"I'll arrange for someone to rescue them right away," Lin Xiaoman said slowly to Mo Lin.

"No need, I'll go rescue them myself." Mo Lin happened to need to go to Beihai, so he would rescue them in passing.

"Alright…" Lin Xiaoman agreed, nodding,

She understood Mo Lin's strength; with the Netherworld's Nether Fire, ordinary evil cultivators were no match for him.

If Mo Lin had mastered Wish Power, his strength would have advanced even further.

So Mo Lin bid farewell to Lin Xiaoman and left the Celestial Sect.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoman gave Mo Lin a token, saying it was a token of the Celestial Sect.

Mo Lin accepted it.

There was no high-speed train to Cloud Village.

Mo Lin needed to take a train to Xu Yue City, then head to Cloud Village.

The journey was about twelve hours.

On the train...

Due to the ghost, there weren't many people.

There were few people in the carriage, no noisy sounds, particularly quiet.

A woman wearing a yellow Daoist robe, carrying a Peach Wood Sword on her back, slowly appeared.

This woman was carrying a bag and it was unclear where she was headed.

She happened to sit right in front of Mo Lin.

Just looking at this outfit, it was clear she had a Daoist identity.

Jiang Yun noticed Mo Lin staring at her and smiled, "Hello, I'm Jiang Yun, a disciple of the Ghost-Catching Celestial Master Mansion."

"Celestial Master Mansion?"

Due to the numerous forces called the Celestial Master Mansion, Mo Lin couldn't discern her background for the moment.

"Oh... I'm from the Ghost-Catching Celestial Master Mansion. Our patriarch is Celestial Master Zhong Kui!" Jiang Yun introduced her identity.

"Zhong Kui?"

Mo Lin was even more surprised.

What a coincidence!

Zhong Kui was his master.

"Do you also study the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill?" Mo Lin asked the woman in surprise.

"You know the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill?" Hearing Mo Lin mention the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill, Jiang Yun was very surprised.

"It seems you know quite a lot about our Ghost-Catching Celestial Master Mansion."

"The Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill was long lost to us. Our Ghost-Catching Celestial Master Mansion mainly divides into three major branches: Ghost-Controlling, Dao Cultivation, and Red Dust Immortal," Jiang Yun explained to Mo Lin.

"Oh..." Mo Lin nodded.

The Celestial Sect also had these three major systems.

It seemed these three systems were universal.

"Despite what my Daoist robe suggests, I actually follow the Ghost-Controlling path," Jiang Yun whispered to Mo Lin.

Isn't she saying a bit too much?

Having just met, Jiang Yun was already revealing her background.

"You're a Red Dust Immortal, right?" Jiang Yun had noticed something unusual about Mo Lin as soon as she entered the carriage.

She sensed Wish Power from Mo Lin.

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.

"Let me tell you... there's a ghost on the train. I'm here on a mission to catch it." Jiang Yun said, taking out a bowl.

Then she took out a pair of chopsticks.

She filled the bowl with water and muttered something under her breath.

Then she placed the chopsticks upright on the table in front.

The train was moving, and the table vibrated slightly.

Under normal circumstances, the chopsticks wouldn't stand upright.

Jiang Yun sprinkled water on the table, then placed the chopsticks vertically.

Sure enough... the chopsticks fell over.

Unperturbed, she chose a different spot to try standing the chopsticks again.

A surprising scene occurred; when the chopsticks faced south, they suddenly stood upright.

This position was in the direction of the back carriage.

This method was quite novel.

Mo Lin hadn't noticed any ghost, but she did.

"The ghost is in the back carriage... attached to a person," Jiang Yun said calmly.

She didn't rush into action and put away the chopsticks and other items, placing them back into her pocket.

Jiang Yun didn't act hastily, gazing toward the back carriage's position.

Sudden action might harm the person possessed by the ghost, potentially causing them to die.

To be safe, she intended to choose a more appropriate moment to make her move.

Then they saw a man in a black leather jacket slowly standing up in the back carriage, heading toward the restroom.

The man in the black leather jacket started moving quickly, almost running.

Before Jiang Yun could react, the man in the black leather jacket vanished from sight.

"Why did he run away? Did he notice me?"

Jiang Yun murmured to herself, frowning.

"Wearing something so conspicuous, it's hard not to notice you, right?" Mo Lin quipped.

Jiang Yun was wearing a Daoist robe.

Any ghost would probably avoid it, no?

Jiang Yun chased after where the ghost had run.

Mo Lin quickly sensed something was off, "Hey... don't chase."

Mo Lin called out to Jiang Yun.

Unfortunately, it was too late; Jiang Yun was already in pursuit.

Jiang Yun seemed rash in her actions, appearing like a rookie.

She evidently had little experience in ghost-catching.

Normally, if a ghost runs, it's either out of fear or deliberately luring someone.

This ghost clearly fell into the latter category.

Mo Lin chased after and saw Jiang Yun run into the restroom.

Mo Lin opened the restroom door and rushed in.

Before his eyes, the scene changed dramatically.

This was no restroom.

A cold wind blew, sending a chill through Mo Lin.

This place was more like a graveyard.

As if they had left the train and arrived in a new location.

Jiang Yun was particularly flustered, looking left and right, searching for something.

Then Jiang Yun summoned her ghost.

A large red ghost attached itself to Jiang Yun.

This red ghost had a fierce look, searching around.

Judging by its appearance, this ghost was very strong, at least a Disaster Level ghost.

And it seemed this ghost was on the verge of breaking through to the next level.

"Hey... stop chasing..." Mo Lin called out to Jiang Yun.

This was clearly a trap.

The ghost here definitely wasn't an ordinary ghost.

Initially, Mo Lin thought it was just a little ghost and didn't pay much attention.

But when he followed, he realized it was no little ghost.

Could a little ghost create a space out of thin air?

Even a Disaster Level ghost would find it difficult, right?

Moreover, the opponent had clearly lured Jiang Yun in on purpose.

This fool, Jiang Yun, hadn't noticed at all.

The ghost appeared.

It was a tall, dark iron-skinned ghost.

With its appearance, a surge of evil qi emanated.

A Cave Master Level ghost!

Yin Messenger, Yin Department, Cave Master.

The ghost before them was a Cave Master Level ghost.
