Chapter 1363: Chapter 1357

At dusk, Mu Chen found Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue.

"The ghost soldiers have been dispatched, fifty of them. But, Xin Lin, what do you need these ghost soldiers for? Ghost soldiers are just ghost soldiers, they can’t compare to a Ghost Envoy, and may not necessarily help us find the female ghost’s whereabouts."

Mu Chen said confusedly, not understanding Xin Lin’s intentions.

"I have my own uses for them."

Xin Lin smiled without giving much explanation.

"Also, Master Mu, Ziyue and I want to act alone."

Xin Lin looked at Mu Chen.

Since she attacked Mu Feng and offended Ghost Shiva, Mu Chen had been following her.

"It’s already night, wandering outside is very dangerous, and besides, with these ghost soldiers, I can manage them better."

Mu Chen shook his head.

"Alright, you can come along then."

Xin Lin didn’t insist, and the three of them, along with the ghost soldiers, left Fengdong City.

By the time they reached the outskirts, it was already night.

The surroundings were completely dark, and due to the unrest outside Fengdong City, the city gates had been closing early lately, and the citizens did not venture out carelessly, fearing they might encounter the female ghost.

In recent days, the female ghost had been committing crimes, always in the outskirts.

The three arrived at an intersection on the outskirts.

This was a three-way junction leading to various suburbs of Fengdong.

"I don’t know if the female ghost will appear tonight. These paths lead to the South Suburb, North Suburb, and East Suburb. All these places have had incidents where the female ghost devoured people. So where should we go? If we miss one place, we might miss her altogether."

Xin Lin sighed.

"Why don’t we split up into three teams?"

Murong Ziyue was eager to capture the female ghost and wished she could cover all three areas at once.

But manpower was limited.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment and looked at Xin Lin.

"That might be the only way, but by midnight, we must regroup here. If there’s any movement, immediately send the ghost soldiers to report."

Mu Chen looked around, and for now, it was still calm.

With the help of ghost soldiers, even if they encountered the female ghost, they could stall for a while.

The three then split up, each taking ten ghost soldiers, and headed into the outskirts.

In the dim night, inside the East Court, Ghost Shiva looked gloomy.

A servant stood waiting before her.

"Are the ghost soldiers all arranged?"

"Rest assured, they have been deployed. Those thirty ghost soldiers are all our people. Once that Xin Lin or Murong Ziyue is isolated, they’ll strike to kill them. Then, the ghost soldiers will handle the aftermath, disguising it as if the female ghost was the culprit. The Family Head won’t find out."

"Those two little deceivers think they can fight me, they’re just courting death."

Ghost Shiva sneered.

The ghost soldiers she had selected were all ruthless criminals, former murderers and fugitives, and without absolute control, it was impossible to manage them.

After Xin Lin and Mu Chen separated, she didn’t move far immediately.

She waited for a moment in place.

Behind her, ten ghost soldiers followed like shadows.

After a while, there was a rustling sound.

Murong Ziyue returned with her ten ghost soldiers.

"Mu Chen has gone far, but Xin Lin, do we really not need to split up to search? My mother’s time is running out. Splitting up increases our chances of finding her."

Earlier, Xin Lin had given Murong Ziyue a signal to pretend to leave and then return immediately.

Murong Ziyue didn’t understand Xin Lin’s intention, but she returned anyway.

"The outskirts are vast, splitting into groups is meaningless, it’s better to draw the snake out of its hole."

After searching fruitlessly all last night and today, Xin Lin decided to use her own methods to lure the female ghost.
