Chapter 96: Chapter 96 The Bnce is Broken.


    So we’ve sessfully imprisoned a ghost?


    It was so easy that they all started to doubt and feel uncertain.


    But it was precisely this that further confirmed the unease Yang Jian had felt before.


    Looking at the motionless corpse inside the body bag, he became more convinced that his previous guess had been correct.


    He had been misled.


    An incorrect signal, coupled with prior uncertainty, had led to a wrong action.


    “Did we seed?” Zhang Han asked uncertainly.


    Zhang Yiming frowned and said, “I’m not sure. Based on the probe by Ye Jun earlier, we can conclude that this old granny is definitely not normal. But to say she’s a fierce ghost seems far too simple. A ghost capable of killing two ghost charmers should not have been captured so easily.”


    “Yang Jian, what do you think?”


    “Ghost ve,” he said gravely. “It’s something a fierce ghost controls after a person’s death. It’s not human, but it’s not a real ghost either. We’re wasting our time.”


    “Let’s leave this ce and go back to the spirit hall we visited before. That’s where the solution to this problem lies.”


    “You mean to tell me we’ve been busy capturing a decoy?” Zhang Han became somewhat annoyed.


    Yang Jian didn’t speak. He just picked up the body bag and swiftly went out the door, leaving behind a sentence.


    “Follow me if you don’t want to die. If all goes well, we may still proceed with the original n.”


    Exiting the door, he didn’t stop walking and hurried towards the spirit hall.


    “Move together.”


    “Let’s go,” said Zhang Yiming, and he and Zhang Han quickly followed.


    But once they were outside, they could not find Ye Jun.


    “Ye Jun, where are you?” Zhang Han shouted.


    “No need to shout. He’s certainly dead. There’s been no sound outside since we started moving in the house,” Yang Jian replied without looking back. “If he weren’t, he would have joined us by now.”


    The two of them shuddered at his words.


    We hadn’t been separated for long at all, just a few meters’ distance. How could he have be a victim so quickly?


    Moreover, that shouldn’t count as being alone, right?


    As Yang Jian was heading towards the spirit hall, he suddenly discovered that the sunlight above grew rapidly dim. The brightness was fading away, and the vige was gradually being enveloped by darkness.


    It seemed like in an instant, daytime turned into night.


    Yang Jian’s heart chilled. The thing he had most feared was happening.


    Before, the two ghosts in the vige appeared to be restraining each other, and although he didn’t know the oue of that restraint, it was supposed to be a good thing.


    However, their recent actions seemed to have broken this bnce.


    No, the bnce was probably broken the moment they entered the vige. This misguided action was just thest straw that broke the camel’s back, and the ghost known as the Sick Ghost… had beenpletely defeated.


    A more vicious and unknown ghost began taking over Huanggang Vige.


    “We must get back to the spirit hall.”


    Without further hesitation, Yang Jian clenched his teeth, a red glow emanated from his body, covering a range of a good ten meters all around him.


    His Ghost Domain had grownrger… indicating he was bing even closer to the resurrection of the fierce ghost.


    But then Yang Jian realized something.


    Even using his Ghost Domain, he couldn’t neutralize the Ghost Domain of the vige; the ground remained as it was.


    This waspletely different from the situation with the Door Knocking Ghost.


    This vige might not be a Ghost Domain at all but something uniquely special.


    Yang Jian recalled the archival information that indicated Huanggang Vige mysteriously vanished for three days and then reappeared.


    “It’s possible that this ce can’t be left even with the use of a Ghost Domain…”


    He now faced two choices. Try to escape using the Ghost Domain, although it might not be sessful, but there was still a chance.


    The second option was to fight for survival in a dire situation; he had an emergency method, but its effectiveness was uncertain.


    Two choicesy before him!


    A wrong move in either case meant death.


    In that moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he became agitated; this situation was much more severe than any business timing, not evenparable in terms of severity.


    “Dying due to the resurrection of the fierce ghost if I escape or dying if I don’t escape; it seems like an escape is the way to life, but in reality, that’s the dead end. Damn it, I’m going all in.”


    With a decisive grit of his teeth.


    Carrying the corpse, Yang Jian, within his Ghost Domain, vanished on the spot.


    “Where did Yang Jian go? He disappeared into thin air?” Zhang Han, who was running behind, was taken aback.


    Zhang Yiming said hurriedly, “That must be one of Yang Jian’s abilities. Don’t be surprised. Quick, we should also head to that spirit hall. The vige is undergoing a change, and I too have a terrible feeling, as if a tremendously frightening event is about to ur. Yang Jian noticed it before us, and that’s why he was in such a rush to leave, risking the use of the fierce ghost’s power.”


    He was extremely anxious, not only because of Yang Jian’s behavior but because the entire vige had suddenly gone from day to night.


    This abrupt change gave off a sense of oppressive death.


    “All the vigers have disappeared?”


    Utilizing the convenience of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian almost instantly returned to the entrance of the vige within two seconds.


    Previously, there were more than a dozen elderly vigers sitting there, chatting and drinking tea, and in the spirit hall, there were four or five old men and women burning paper to keep vigil. Everything was quite normal.


    But just from one moment to the next.


    The sky darkened, and the vige was quickly enveloped in darkness.


    The vigers from before had vanished as well.


    And with them, the house set up as the spirit hall had disappeared.


    Yes.


    It wasn’t just the coffin that was missing, the spirit hall was gone, but the entire house disappeared. In its ce was a piece of deserted wastnd overgrown with wild grass, as if that house had never existed in the vige.


    Yang Jian, carrying the corpse, was stunned.


    Zhang Han and Zhang Yiming, who arrivedter, both disyed incredible looks of shock and disbelief.


    “What happened? The vigers disappeared, the house is gone, and where is the spirit hall? The one that was just here, could we have gone to the wrong ce?” Zhang Han said as he looked around.


    The other houses were still there, the only one missing was this one.


    “We haven’t gone to the wrong ce, it’s right here.”


    Yang Jian found a few drops of foul-smelling corpse fluid on the ground, which seemed to have just dripped down.


    This was Ye Jun’s ability.


    Ye Jun had been here before.


    But… he may have died before he arrived here.


    “Yang Jian, what exactly have you found out? Speak up, let’s think of a solution.” Zhang Yiming urged.


    “It’s toote now, the whole house has disappeared, we can’t go back to the spirit hall. I was misled by that wrong piece of information; I thought that old woman was the ghost or even if she wasn’t, as long as we acted quickly, nothing bad would happen. But I was still too naive… The bnce of this vige has been disturbed by us, the real fierce ghost is about to appear, brace yourselves.”


    As Yang Jian spoke, he ced a gold box on the ground.


    Then he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the gold box, ready to shoot.


    “What are you doing? That box is…”


    Zhang Yiming’s eyelids twitched when he saw that somewhat deformed but sealed gold box.


    “There is a fierce ghost imprisoned inside this box, and now I’m going to release it. This is an emergency measure I prepared,” Yang Jian said.


    “You’re crazy, you’re actually going to release a ghost?”


    The usually stable Zhang Yiming couldn’t help but roar, “People will die.”


    “There’s no choice, the Sick Ghost initially aimed to open this box to release the ghost inside, and this ghost might be the key to restoring bnce.” Before Yang Jian could finish, he fired the gun with a bang.


    A shot hit the box.


    But it did not go through.


    The gold was sturdy and thick.


    “Now the actions of the ghost within the vige are no longer significant. When the bnce was maintained, it was able to easily kill a Ghost ve on its own, and once that bnce is lost, based on the information I’ve got, this is a dead end with no solution, a mere overwhelming terror-level threat, with no chance of surviving.”


    “If you don’t want us all to be annihted, don’t stop me, because this way, there is still a glimmer of hope.”


    “Bang~!”


    Yang Jian fired another shot.


    Sparks flew from the gold box, which now sported a thin slit.


    Through that slit, blood continuously seeped out.


    The blood was Yan Li’s Ghost Blood.


    Once the Ghost Blood ran out, the Headless Ghost Shadow would be released by him.


    This was a ghost that was not particrly terrifying, but its rate of growth was frightening.


    “After this ghostes out, fend for yourselves and find a way to survive. As long as we don’t die immediately, there should be a turn for the better,” Yang Jian said as he fired another close-range shot at the slit.


    The gold box was blown wide open.


    Blood was forcibly squeezed out from inside, spilling everywhere.


    Then, as the blood drained, a ck shadow appeared to wriggle its way out through the slit.


    “Damn it, you actually released it! I regret agreeing toe here with you now,” Zhang Han eximed in rm.


    Although he knew Yang Jian had captured a ghost, it must have been a perilous task, and now to release it just like that?


    That was a move only a madman would make.


    “Now, I have no other choice,” Yang Jian said as he looked at him.


    But his Ghost Eye was fixed intently on the ck shadow that was gradually emerging.
