The next day, Li Yang gathered a bunch of miscellaneous items and gave them to He Yiner, who happily accepted them and swiftly left Dachang City. It seed like she was heading to other cities to collect other captains' relics.
But all of this had nothing to do with Li Yang. He just hoped that the captain wouldn't cause any trouble in Dachang City.
This simple wish seed a bit too much to ask for.
Because shortly after He Yiner left, Li Yang received an important ssage.
He Yuelian, who had resigned from the captain's position, appeared and was now near Yang Jian's silent Blood Pool.
"What? He Yuelian showed up?" Li Yang's expression imdiately turned serious.
If asked which captain from the headquarters he feared most, without a doubt, it was He Yuelian.
It wasn't because her power was the most terrifying, but because she was the most unstable factor. She wasn't a captain selected by the headquarters; she was an ordinary person who soared to great heights, controlling the ghost painting, and was directly recruited by Yang Jian to beco a captain.
Who knows what a person like her would do once the constraint of being a captain was gone.
"I have to go and see." Li Yang was genuinely uneasy about He Yuelian, so he imdiately set out for the outskirts of Dachang City.
"Li Yang, I'll go with you. It's too risky for you to go alone."
Tong Qian had also received the news. When she saw Li Yang leaving in a hurry at the company, she imdiately understood the situation and expressed her intention to go together.
"The company can't be without soone, so you should stay here." Li Yang said.
"We can let Huang Ziya stay. He Yuelian is very dangerous, and I'm worried you won't be able to handle it alone." Tong Qian insisted.
Li Yang finally nodded: "Alright, let's go see her together then. But we should be ready to take action; she's here for the captain, and I'm worried she might do sothing to the Blood Pool."
"She's no longer a captain at headquarters. If necessary, I'll take action." Tong Qian said seriously.
"Good."
Hearing this from Tong Qian, Li Yang felt sowhat more reassured.
Very soon.
The two quickly set out, rushing to the sealed-off highway outside the city at the fastest speed.
anwhile.
Near the Ghost Blood, on a patch of ground scorched black by Ghost Fla, stood a woman in a red wedding dress, with a red veil covering her head, exuding a cold, eerie aura.
This woman seed as if she had walked out of an oil painting, appearing so unreal.
She was He Yuelian, a na that sent shivers through the supernatural circle, because her supernatural power was the ghost painting.
He Yuelian had been standing there for so ti, and she was doing sothing strange at the mont: she extended an arm and slowly waved it towards the direction of the red Blood Pool, as if beckoning.
No, she was indeed beckoning.
But while others' beckoning may be a greeting, He Yuelian's beckoning could summon ghosts.
Under the influence of this eerie supernatural power, the once calm Blood Pool began bubbling.
The Blood Pool churned, an acrid stench filled the air, as if sothing was about to erge.
"He Yuelian, what are you doing? Stop it." Li Yang, who had arrived, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
As a survivor of the ghost painting incident, no one understood the supernatural nature of the ghost painting better than he did, especially since He Yuelian adopted this red wedding dress, gaining the eerie power of the Dried Corpse Bride, capable of summoning nearby vengeful ghosts, an influence even greater than that of the white Ghost Candle.
Even the ghosts within the body of a supernatural being would be forcibly drawn out by this ghost-summoning power.
"Don't be nervous; I'm just here to check on Yang Jian's situation, to see if he's really dead." He Yuelian's voice echoed around, calm and indifferent, devoid of the emotions of a living person.
Li Yang shouted: "You're making a ss. Your ghost-summoning will disrupt the supernatural balance within the Blood Pool."
"It has been three months; it's impossible for the supernatural balance to be maintained for that long." He Yuelian said.
"You know the captain is subrged in Ghost Blood. If you insist on doing this, I have to suspect you're provoking us. Although your ghost painting power is terrifying, if it really cos down to it, we might just be able to take you down." Li Yang said coldly, with a hint of threat in his tone.
He Yuelian continued to wave her arm, not turning around, responding indifferently: "You don't have the qualification to say that. You're not a captain, so you'll never understand the disparity. I didn't co to Dachang City to fight you; I just want to confirm Yang Jian's condition, that's all."
"Whether Yang Jian is alive or dead, once I get the answer, I will leave imdiately."
Seeing this, Li Yang already understood that getting rid of He Yuelian today wouldn't be so easy.
"He Yuelian, it looks like there's no room for negotiation, is there?" Tong Qian walked over with a grim face, her two Ghost Faces already painted with bright colors at so point.
The appearance of Ghost Makeup indicated that Tong Qian was ready to borrow the supernatural powers of two top-tier ghost handlers at any ti.
"Your Ghost Makeup is indeed formidable, but it doesn't last long. If you try to take action, you won't stand a chance and will only exhaust yourself to death. It's not worth it, and we are not enemies. Why are you stopping ? Don't you want to know if Yang Jian is alive or dead now?" He Yuelian shook her head slightly, evidently well-inford about Tong Qian's intelligence.
During her tenure as a captain, she had already mastered all the intelligence data at headquarters. Besides, during her encounter with the King Organization, she also paid attention to other people's supernatural powers.
He Yuelian wanted to determine which ghost handler posed a threat to her and which did not.
After so observation, He Yuelian found that since Yang Jian's disappearance, so captains had died in battle, and she seed to have beco the strongest captain at headquarters. No other captain could threaten her. Perhaps the Soul Summoner was a potential threat, but the Soul Summoner had significant flaws, and she didn't think He Yiner could pose a threat to her.
It was precisely because of this that she resigned from her position as captain without hesitation.
She was already the most powerful ghost handler, so there was no need to be under headquarters' jurisdiction.
He Yuelian believed that even if she resigned, headquarters wouldn't dare to offend her.
And indeed, reality proved her right.
Therefore, the only thing that worried her now was whether Yang Jian was still alive, whether there was a possibility of his awakening.
Tong Qian couldn't care less about what He Yuelian was thinking; his ghost makeup was forming, emitting two distinctly terrifying supernatural auras.
"He Yuelian, if you're willing to stop what you're doing now, we can avoid a conflict, but if you insist, I won't hold back. Perhaps you're confident you can defeat us, but we might still have the ability to drag you down. You should consider whether taking such a big risk for this is truly worth it."
"What if your ghost summoning awakens Yang Jian, aren't you afraid of being eliminated imdiately? As for whether Yang Jian is dead or alive, ti will prove everything. Are you in such a rush because there's sothing you're hiding?"
"Tong Qian, you're too verbose." He Yuelian's tone turned fierce.
The next mont,
Grayish paper ash imdiately started to drift down from the sky, and the surrounding world began to turn eerie, feeling extraordinarily unreal, as if gradually peeling away from reality, about to be drawn into an unknown supernatural realm.
Li Yang said nothing, only stared intently at He Yuelian.
He knew that he couldn't hesitate when confronting He Yuelian; he had to use his strongest supernatural power in the shortest ti possible. Only by doing this, combined with Tong Qian, might there be so chance of defeating her; if he hesitated, there might be no chance at all.
"He Yuelian, you've crossed the line. Since you're recklessly disregarding the big picture, maybe fighting you here is a good choice." Tong Qian's neck slightly turned, and a ghost face appeared at the front.
This ghost face had vibrant makeup painted on it.
The makeup changed the appearance of the ghost face, turning the originally eerie face into a familiar person's likeness.
That was Wei Jing, codena Ghost Envoy.
But that's not all; another ghost face of Tong Qian also had vibrant makeup, and at so point, he slowly put on a strange ring.
The ring was deathly white, like it was polished from a piece of bone.
This was the supernatural item Ghost Ring.
Once worn, as long as the number of people around exceeded two, he wouldn't be discovered.
Tong Qian approached He Yuelian quickly, while the surrounding light started to dim. Darkness spread outward from him to all directions.
The gray paper ash could not erode this darkness.
Li Yang remained silent, just holding a rusty iron hook, then walked into the darkness, blending within, ready to hook away He Yuelian's soul at any mont.
As long as her true form was found, there might be a chance to succeed.
Just as both sides were on the verge of a clash,
From the blood pool bubbling from deep within, a loud noise suddenly erupted, and soon the crimson pool water exploded, as if sothing burst out from within.
"Hmm?"
He Yuelian was shocked during her spirit summoning, thinking Yang Jian had erged.
But she quickly realized it wasn't.
What erged from the blood pool was a giant, pitch-black evil hound.
The mont the evil hound appeared, it lunged at He Yuelian, but before it could make contact, it vanished into thin air.
Very soon.
He Yuelian felt a kind of irresistible sleepiness.
It wasn't just her; Tong Qian and Li Yang also noticed the anomaly.
"It's Ghost Dream..." Li Yang realized.
But this supernatural force targeting consciousness was unstoppable.
Very soon.
The consciousness of the three people succumbed to slumber, as they were all drawn into the Ghost Dream World.
"I can't resist this supernatural force either?"
Inside the Ghost Dream World, He Yuelian beca flustered and anxious, looking around, finding herself in a silent village, without her red bridal gown, seemingly transford back into an ordinary human.
Li Yang appeared calm, saying, "No need to panic; He Yuelian has trapped herself. The ghost summoning brought out the captain's evil hound, and now we're in the Ghost Dream World. In this world, everyone is an ordinary person without any supernatural powers, but what's noteworthy is if we die in this world, our external consciousness will also perish."
"I see, if that's the case, I have a major advantage." Tong Qian laughed, glancing at He Yuelian not far away.
With his skills, overwhelming three people alone wouldn't be a problem.
He Yuelian was now just a beautiful ordinary woman, and couldn't possibly be his match here.
