An Yin criminal?!

Li Yan was both startled and delighted, with a touch of surprise besides.

Along the way, he had gathered no shortage of intelligence.

Though he had spent most of his time aboard ship, he had also asked the Cao Gang to investigate where Yin criminals might be lurking.

Yet he had found nothing at all.

It was hardly strange.

After all, most of those who had escaped death and returned to life feared discovery by the Underworld Bureau and hid in Blessed Grotto-Heavens.

Several of Li Yan's great gains had come from such places.

Those who appeared in the marketplaces were mostly ordinary commoners who had accidentally returned to life.

Who would have thought he would make a discovery at the Jin Prefecture Guild Hall!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yan immediately gripped the arrest document and sank his mind into it.

In an instant, the sounds around him vanished, and thick fog enveloped him.

He had long since grown accustomed to it. Since he was still in the Jin Prefecture Guild Hall, he had to move quickly to avoid being noticed.

But after passing through the thick fog, the sight before him made him pause.

Ahead stood a bronze water well. Chains bound and coiled around it as surging black water churned within.

It was an evil ghost that had escaped the Netherworld!

The Underworld Bureau's missions used different wells to represent different targets.

The Stone Well meant capturing those who had returned to life,

while the Black Well Blood Water meant capturing demonic qi.

As for this bronze water well, it represented an evil ghost that had escaped from the Netherworld.

According to the mission description, these "evil ghosts" normally did not belong to the human world. They were terrifying things born in the Netherworld
