Chapter 1362: Chapter 1356

From dusk till dawn, the person was never found.

Within Fengdong, rumors also began to spread of a female ghost committing atrocities. That female ghost is extremely formidable; even the Old Family Master is no match for her.

The rumors reached the ears of the Old Family Master.

"This is outrageous. How on earth are you handling things? Hundreds of people, yet you can’t even capture one female ghost."

The Mu Family Patriarch gathered everyone and erupted in anger, berating them mercilessly.

He had governed Fengdong for so many years, and within its borders, everything had always been peaceful and uneventful, but recently, there had been continuous turmoil.

Especially that female ghost, not mentioning the passersby, even the people Fengdong dispatched to capture her were wounded by a few.

This time, even people from the East Court were killed. No wonder there are rumors flying outside.

"Third Sister, didn’t you say that the female ghost was nothing to fear? How come after an entire day, there’s not a single shred of news?"

The Mu Family Patriarch questioned Ghost Shiva.

Ghost Shiva was also at a loss for words.

"Big Brother, you can’t blame me for this. That female ghost is truly formidable, and I’ve already sent several ghost envoys to capture her. Yet, there’s no news at all—not even a living person has been found. I fear those people might have..."

Ghost Shiva wore a face full of gloom.

It was she who dispatched the delivery men, and now that something had gone wrong, all the blame was pointing toward her.

More rumors circulated within the East Court, accusing Ghost Shiva of deliberately causing the death of the new bride.

"My mother is not dead yet. If you curse her one more time, don’t blame me for turning against you. Family Head, I beg you, send some ghost soldiers with me. I must find my mother before nightfall, or she will be in mortal danger."

Murong Ziyue said in a cold voice from the side.

Xin Lin had said that the female ghost would only consume five or six people a day, and her mother was still alive.

But if she couldn’t find her mother by tonight, then there was no guarantee.

So Murong Ziyue was extremely anxious. She was also searching for her mother, but the area around Fengdong was vast, and her manpower was limited. Even though Mu Chen had sent many people to assist her, it was still to no avail.

Xin Lin suggested that if they could dispatch some ghost soldiers, they could detect Ghost Energy. Once night fell, if the ghost soldiers were sent to search, there might be a chance to find her mother before the female ghost devoured anyone.

This was Murong Ziyue’s last hope.

"Ghost soldiers? Murong Ziyue, you speak so audaciously. The ghost soldiers of Fengdong are meant to protect the East Court. If they’re sent with you, who will ensure the safety of the East Court? What if that female ghost attacks the East Court?"

Ghost Shiva said irritably.

In her view, even if something truly happened to Murong Ziyue’s mother, it would be nothing but a mere death.

It’s just that dealing with Tu Suxia over there would be tricky. But if the old one perished, there’s still the young one. At worst, when Tu Suxia asks for someone, she could just hand over Murong Ziyue.

However, these matters had to be kept from the Family Head.

With Murong Ziyue’s recent return, the Mu Family Patriarch’s view of her had changed notably.

The old man might not be keen on marrying Murong Ziyue off to Tu Suxia as a minor wife.

"The East Court still has you, Third Aunt, and the Old Family Master, and everyone. That female ghost wouldn’t dare come. Besides, Ziyue is only asking for a few dozen ghost soldiers, not borrowing all of the East Court’s ghost soldiers."

Mu Chen chimed in supportively from the side.

"Ghost soldiers can be loaned out, but if they still haven’t been found by tomorrow night, they must be returned."

The Mu Family Patriarch gave a slight pause for thought.

He also knew that it wasn’t Murong Ziyue who needed the ghost soldiers, but Xin Lin.

He happened to take this opportunity to see if Xin Lin really could harness the Ghost Energy.
