When they saw Lin Xuan swim up, they were overjoyed. They knew that things must have been settled.

Sure enough, what good is a mere vengeful ghost, no matter how ruthless it is at killing people?

This was no challenge for Lin Xuan.

Jin Maiji and Meng Chao's confidence in Lin Xuan increased once again.

"Yes, it's all taken care of!"

Lin Xuan nodded, walked ashore, and carried a dark, lumpy object in his hand.

Because it was dark, Jin Maiji and Meng Chao couldn't see what it was at first.

Only after Lin Xuan emerged from the water and reached the shore did they truly see that it was a human head!

The human head's face was covered by long hair, like seaweed, and beneath the head was a person dressed in tattered blue clothing.

"This is the beauty of Chu?!"

Meng Chao's teeth were chattering.

This kind of ghost, with its disheveled hair and obscured face, is even more terrifying than the legendary Oni King, Issey Miyake.

After all, Issey Miyake looks like a ghost, but he actually has a human face.

Chu Renmei's face was covered by her hair, making it impossible to see her true appearance, which inevitably led to speculation.

This very thought is enough to instill fear.

“Yes, it’s Chu Renmei. Her strength is almost comparable to that of the Demon King, Issey Miyake,” Lin Xuan nodded and said.

Chu Renmei's actual combat ability is certainly not as good as Issey Miyake's, but she is exceptionally talented in illusion.

If Lin Xuan had dealt with these two ghosts separately when he was still a teacher, Chu Renmei would obviously have been more troublesome.

Chu Renmei's illusion was both real and dreamlike, and when Lin Xuan was a teacher, it was really not easy for him to tell the difference!

Fighting Chu Renmei in Shuitan, her old lair, is even more dangerous than dealing with Issey Miyake.

However, after breaking through to the level of a geomancer, vengeful ghosts like Chu Renmei and ghost kings like Issey Miyake posed almost no threat to Lin Xuan.

"Ghost-catching bag, go!"

Lin Xuan opened the Maoshan Qiankun Ghost-Catching Bag, intending to grab Chu Renmei inside.

Just then, Chu Renmei, who had regained a trace of her ghostly aura, spoke in a chilling voice.

"You damned Taoist priest, don't think that capturing me means you're all set. Someone will avenge me, hahaha..."

Chu Renmei laughed heartily.

She wasn't happy about being captured; rather, she was thinking that Lin Xuan would definitely be in trouble next, so she laughed.

"Someone avenged you?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked a question, but Chu Renmei just laughed and ignored him completely.

"Okay, I'm very curious to know who else is pulling the strings behind your back!"

"But before that, you'd better go in first!"

Lin Xuan grabbed Chu Renmei and stuffed her into the Maoshan Qiankun Ghost-Catching Bag.

"Instructor Lin, what did that ghost mean just now? Did someone deliberately release her?" Jin Maiji's expression was solemn, and he forcibly suppressed his anger.

If what Chu Renmei said is true, then the vengeful ghost Chu Renmei has obviously been resurrected. This matter is not simple, and someone is planning it behind the scenes!

However, Kim McGee simply couldn't imagine who had done this.

It should be noted that after Chu Renmei was born, she caused the deaths of at least ten people.

If someone deliberately let Chu Renmei out, doesn't that mean these 10 people wouldn't have had to die?!

Jin Maiji used to be a policeman and now works as Lin Xuan's assistant, but he still has a sense of justice. Ten innocent lives were lost, no wonder he is so angry.

“The female ghost has been captured, so she shouldn’t be lying to us, right?” Meng Chao said.

As Jin Maiji's best friend, Meng Chao naturally understood Jin Maiji's anger, and Meng Chao himself was also extremely angry about the matter.

"In any case, Chu Renmei has been arrested now. As for the person behind it, we will definitely investigate them later," Meng Chao comforted Jin Maiji.

Lin Xuan nodded. "It's getting late, let's go back first. As for the mastermind, Chu Renmei is still alive. We can interrogate her later."

Lin Xuan was equally surprised by Chu Renmei's claim that she had someone backing her.

However, considering how powerful Chu Renmei is, even though she is a vengeful ghost, her strength is almost comparable to that of a ghost king. It seems plausible that she has someone backing her.

"I just don't know who did it, or what their purpose is!"

A cold smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

Regardless of their purpose, once they learn that Chu Renmei has been captured, they will certainly not let it go and will most likely take action against him.

Lin Xuan was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he felt a little excited.

As the mastermind behind Chu Renmei, the other party must be stronger than Chu Renmei, at least as strong as the Ghost King!

That's 10,000 merit points!

Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to bring Chu Renmei out indicates that they must have good intelligence, and they might even know about other vengeful ghosts or even ghost kings.

These merit points are more than ten thousand.

Lin Xuan was filled with anticipation.

The three did not plan to stay in Huangshan Village for long and intended to return to GGT first to turn in the mission.

As Kim Mak-ki approached the GGT's official car and was about to get in and drive, he suddenly noticed a bunch of chrysanthemums on the driver's seat.

"Hey, who put this here? It wasn't here when we left."

"Chrysanthemums? Did the wind blow them in?" Meng Chao said.

"Idiot, what wind could blow flowers so neatly? Besides, there aren't any chrysanthemums around here!"

Jin Maiji and Meng Chao bicker every day.

Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the chrysanthemum. "Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum..."

"Could it be the Nine Chrysanthemums faction?"

Lin Xuan had a guess in his mind.

Chu Renmei had just said that someone would avenge him, and then a chrysanthemum appeared in the car. To say that this was just a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.

As for the Cherry Blossom Country, the Nine Chrysanthemums faction, Zhong Fabai had mentioned it to Lin Xuan once.

The main reason is that the Nine Chrysanthemums faction is quite powerful and has a good reputation in the supernatural world. It is also a major faction in the Sakura Kingdom and can be called the number one evil faction in the Sakura Kingdom.

The country of cherry blossoms is most memorable for its cherry blossoms, but its national flower is the chrysanthemum.

The fact that this sect can be named after the Nine Chrysanthemums is enough to prove its strength.

Among them, the Jiuju school has many branches, roughly of two types.

One type specializes in studying astrology and geomancy, and is quite accurate in divination and fortune-telling.

Another type focuses on Taoist magic and has achieved great success in raising corpses and refining ghosts, almost on par with the Maoshan School.

However, this faction's methods are terrifying and cruel, which is why they are called the evil faction.

"It seems that Chu Renmei was probably released by the Jiuju faction, who probably wanted to subdue her!"

The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect possesses the art of raising and controlling ghosts. When Chu Renmei breaks through to the Ghost King level, they will refine her, thus creating an additional Ghost King combat power out of thin air.

Chu Renmei is skilled in illusions, and even a fierce ghost who has grasped the rudiments of the ghost realm is more precious than an ordinary ghost king!

In modern society, using illusions to kill or control people is incredibly convenient! It can bring enormous benefits to individuals and even sects!

"I subdued Chu Renmei in advance, and the Jiuju faction is probably very dissatisfied. However, since I am a geomancer and was not prepared, they dared not make a move rashly."

"Is this chrysanthemum a small gift for us to meet?"

Lin Xuan smiled lightly, not caring.

They even wished that the Nine Chrysanthemums faction would show up and attack him.

The Nine Chrysanthemums faction, aside from those who study astrology and geomancy, another faction uses Taoist methods to raise corpses and refine ghosts, and is known as the number one evil sect in the Sakura Country. The experts in the faction are definitely not good people. Killing them will definitely earn you merit points!

Not only that, the zombies they raise and the ghosts they create also earn merit points.

Eliminating the Nine Chrysanthemums faction, this branch of corpse-raising and ghost-refining, will definitely earn you a lot of merit points!

The Nine Chrysanthemums faction probably doesn't know that before they've even made up their minds to take action against Lin Xuan, the geomancer, Lin Xuan has already set his sights on them.

Nearby, Jin Maiji and Meng Chao finished arguing.

The two of them didn't really care about the extra chrysanthemum in the car.

Kim Mak-ki drove his GGT, the company car, back to the office building.

Second floor, mission department.

Because it was already very late, there were only two staff members on duty.

Lin Xuan, Jin Maiji, and Meng Chao went in together and explained how Chu Renmei was captured. They said they had completed the mission in Huangshan Village and then took out the Maoshan Qiankun Ghost-Catching Bag.

The clerk from the mission department quickly summoned inspectors to examine Lin Xuan's Maoshan Qiankun Ghost-Catching Bag.
