The Fushou Garden incident spiraled out of control.
Li Yang received a call from headquarters.
Sun Rui intervened to diate.
A series of events almost happened simultaneously, all preventing Yang Jian and the mbers of the supernatural forum from continuing their fight.
It was not just a matter of urgency, but the situation did not allow them to fight recklessly without limits.
Yang Jian, with his eyes glowing red, glanced at the others, halted his actions, and then took the phone from Li Yang.
"Captain Yang, it's , Shen Liang." It was Shen Liang on the other side of the phone.
"Speak." Yang Jian's voice was cold.
Shen Liang quickly said, "Captain Yang, continuing the fight isn't good for either side. What do you think about headquarters intervening in this matter? I've already had Sun Rui work on this. Of course, we won't let you suffer losses, Captain Yang—three Ghost Candles as compensation, and headquarters has already had Cao Yang successfully retrieve the Ghost Scissors from Fang Shiming's possession."
"I'll have all these things sent to Captain Yang later."
Yang Jian said, "Do I have no room to refuse?"
"Captain Yang, continuing this is good for no one. Ye Zhen and the friend circle are different; he holds value and can negotiate, not the type to be reckless. Moreover, headquarters doesn't want to see sothing happen to you."
Shen Liang hurriedly explained, not expecting Yang Jian to speak so bluntly.
"And headquarters can guarantee that after this matter, Ye Zhen won't trouble you again."
Yang Jian's gaze flickered; to be honest, he didn't trust the headquarters' guarantees, but the current situation was indeed very bad for him.
Despite appearing strong, it was only a facade, easily seen through once a fight began, leaving him without the strength to fight back.
The others might have guessed his poor condition, but probably hadn't imagined it to be this severe.
"Do you think Ye Zhen will listen to you?" Yang Jian asked again.
This ti, Shen Liang toughened up, his voice stern, "Rest assured about that; if Ye Zhen still insists on acting and refuses to listen, headquarters will take him down."
"I have given him the code na Scapegoat Ghost Ye Zhen; he has the ability to substitute death, which makes him hard to deal with," Yang Jian stated.
"Wei Jing has co back to life," Shen Liang revealed a crucial piece of information.
Wei Jing?
Yang Jian's expression changed slightly; he rembered that the last ti he saw Wei Jing, he had already lost control, his body invaded by a ruthless ghost, unconscious, and it was unexpected that Wang Xiaoming had saved him.
Wei Jing is an anomaly produced in the Ghost Envoy incident, possessing abilities like a Ghost Envoy.
To put it simply, he is like a human-shaped Coffin Nail.
"If Wei Jing is willing to appear, then let's end today's matter," Yang Jian said.
The headquarters were diating behind the scenes, also revealing so subtle information.
For instance, Cao Yang holding the Ghost Scissors, possibly ready to strike at any mont, and the code-nad Ghost Envoy Wei Jing still being alive, seemingly possessing abilities to counter Ye Zhen.
These were all potential deterrents.
Yang Jian could no longer continue causing trouble; moreover, he was originally just bluffing, so he had to seize the opportunity to back down.
"Alright, I'll send Wei Jing over, hand the phone to Li Yang," Shen Liang imdiately said.
Yang Jian expressionlessly handed the phone back to Li Yang.
After Li Yang took the phone, he imdiately rushed to the front of a nearby store, then found a door.
He closed the door, and imdiately the store was plunged into darkness.
Subsequently, footsteps could be heard inside the store.
The door opened.
A man with a dark complexion and a numb expression walked out.
"Wei, Captain Wei Jing," Li Yang paused, then promptly said.
Wei Jing nodded slightly, indicating his consciousness was clear, not revived by a malevolent ghost.
"He really ca?" Yang Jian looked towards Wei Jing, his heart sinking.
After Wei Jing ca out, the store behind him returned to normal; the darkness receded, and the lights turned on again.
"It's ti to stop, Yang Jian."
Wei Jing paused, looked over, and said, "You are in bad shape."
"You're actually still alive? Unbelievable, you were already invaded by a fierce ghost," Yang Jian observed him, trying to spot any clues, and staunchly not ntioning his own poor condition.
Wei Jing remained silent, just calmly looking at Yang Jian and Ye Zhen lying on the ground like a dead dog.
anwhile,
Lin Luoi was reporting to the manager about the ongoing events in Fushou Garden, and the tragic death of Luo Su Yi.
Sun Rui was very firm in persuading others, "As you can see, headquarters' Wei Jing has arrived, another Captain Level spirit controller; he alone could take all of you down. If you insist on attacking now, you won't even be able to touch the hem of Yang Jian's garnt; he won't allow you to attack a person in charge."
"However, headquarters also intends to diate. They want Yang Jian to forgive Ye Zhen, and you guys to apologize and compensate afterwards; then this matter will be considered resolved."
"Let's put the Fushou Garden matter on hold for now."
The manager's face changed, then he ca over and said, "Sun Rui, if Yang Jian is willing to forgive Ye Zhen, we can agree to any terms."
"Good,"
Sun Rui, leaning on his cane, nodded, "Then I'll go and talk to Captain Yang; you better not be deceitful, otherwise not only will Yang Jian not forgive you, headquarters won't agree either, and I, Sun Rui, care about my reputation."
"We won't, I stake my life on it," the manager said.
Sun Rui remained silent, instead he walked over and said to Yang Jian, "Captain Yang, look, the headquarters have intervened to diate, let's just stop here. There isn't any deep hatred involved, it was just a fight with Ye Zhen, and now that Wei Jing is here, if we really will forcefully take Ye Zhen away, I can't be certain whether the headquarters will step in or not."
"Just now, Lin Luoi ntioned that the situation in Fushou Garden is spiraling out of control, our main task is to investigate the existence of the Ghost Post Office, not to waste energy on this. Additionally, the mbers of the supernatural forum are willing to offer compensation, treat it as if Ye Zhen's incident was a minor fart, what do you think?"
"You need to make a decision quickly, Ye Zhen's condition is so severe that I don't know if he can survive, and if he dies, it would complicate things again."
Yang Jian said, "If we can't finish Ye Zhen off this ti, it will be more difficult next ti... Fine, I will grant you this favor just this once, but only this once, convey this ssage to Shen Liang too."
He patted Sun Rui on the shoulder.
Then he gave Wei Jing a warning look before he walked towards where Ye Zhen was.
Sun Rui felt uneasy inside, praying that Ye Zhen would never again fight with Yang Jian, otherwise as the ditator, he would be accountable, and might even be killed by Yang Jian.
"I really don't know why the headquarters would go to such great lengths to protect you." Yang Jian looked at Ye Zhen at his feet.
He knew that his victory over this guy wasn't because he was stronger, but because Ye Zhen liked to pretend, and got carelessly nailed by the Coffin Nail, otherwise, he would have definitely lost today.
Soon.
Yang Jian crouched down and pulled out the Coffin Nail.
Ye Zhen's head bled profusely, critically wounded and close to death, with no one knowing if he could survive.
However, as the Coffin Nail was removed.
Ye Zhen, lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, roaring into the sky, "I, Ye Zhen, have been invincible all my life, how could I possibly lose?"
He stood tall in the sky once more.
The cape of justice fluttered loudly in the wind again.
His injuries were recovering, no, they were disappearing.
All his injuries vanished in seconds, and he was back to his full strength, he revived completely, as if he had activated a cheat code in a ga, directly full recovery.
The formidable power of the Scapegoat Ghost was displayed once again.
Even with a single breath left, Ye Zhen could revive.
"He really resurrected." Envy and jealousy gnawed at Yang Jian's heart.
Why the Scapegoat Ghost powers were wielded by Ye Zhen.
Honestly, the reason he wanted to take Ye Zhen away was to see if he could disassemble the Scapegoat Ghost in him and control it himself.
However, the situation spoke, Yang Jian realized he couldn't do it.
"Boss."
The manager, Ah Wu, Wey Yun, Lin Luoi, and other mbers of the supernatural forum were all delighted.
Ye Zhen awakened.
The authority of the supernatural forum returned.
"Have I already lost..."
Afterwards Ye Zhen began to look around, coming to his senses and also recalling what had happened before.
He rembered being invaded by Yang Jian's Ghost Domain, then losing the ability to move, falling from the sky flat on the ground like a dead dog...
"Yang Jian."
Ye Zhen suddenly shouted loudly.
Yang Jian's face stiffened, he watched him warily: "You want to fight again?"
Wei Jing stepped forward a few steps, his face darkened and his expression numb as he stared at Ye Zhen, ready to join forces with Yang Jian to finish him off here if Ye Zhen dared to make a move.
The headquarters' diation wasn't capital for Ye Zhen to act recklessly.
"No more fighting, Yang Jian. I, Ye Zhen, have lost this ti. I am not a sore loser. I hand over the title of the strongest to you, but rest assured, I will take it back soday. For now on, I, Ye Zhen, will acknowledge you as the strongest."
Ye Zhen exclaid.
In front of everyone.
Even so passersby, stuck in shock, took out their phones and captured this embarrassing mont.
The strongest?
The strongest what?
The strongest in juvenile arrogance?
Yang Jian certainly didn't have such a thick face.
"I spared you, not to hear you bluffing here. I want to ask you, what kind of compensation should your supernatural forum provide ?"
He seized the opportunity to demand benefits.
And also made it clear that he still had confidence, to prevent Ye Zhen from impulsively rushing forward again.
"Captain Yang, about the compensation, rest assured, I will find a suitable ti to personally visit you for negotiations, but there is another more important matter that needs handling right now... Lin Luoi ntioned that the situation in Fushou Garden has gone out of control, there's a fierce ghost reviving, the situation is very serious."
The manager of the supernatural forum hurriedly spoke up.
"I had a premonition about this. It's you who insisted on fighting . Otherwise, why would I co to Dahai City? Just to stroll around?" Yang Jian said.
Ye Zhen said, "I will handle this matter, I, Ye Zhen, take responsibility for it."
"That would be best." Yang Jian looked at him with a glance.
He already had no strength to deal with the anomaly in Fushou Garden, this Ye Zhen still looked energetic, probably able to handle it.
