Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1263 - 1230: A Stern Warning
Ye Zhen had just left when he saw a familiar red light spreading into the Ning’an Building, a familiar Ghost Domain.
“It’s Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain…”
Ye Zhen saw Yang Jian within the Ghost Domain.
Yang Jian also saw Ye Zhen.
They exchanged glances.
But Ye Zhen only nodded slightly without stopping, as he needed to become stronger right now. He wasn’t qualified to challenge this Yang Wudi.
“He’s leaving Dadong City. It looks like this matter is over, but he should be leaving as a loser, otherwise his expression wouldn’t look so bad.”
Yang Jian’s expression slightly changed as he watched Ye Zhen’s departing direction.
“That’s good. After beating Ye Zhen, Wang Chaling will surely be entangled by him, saving me from having to fight him.”
Soon.
He arrived at the Ning’an Building.
At this moment, Wang Chaling was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea, and resting. However, Yang Jian’s sudden arrival made his nerves tense again.
“You really came at a perfect time. As soon as Ye Zhen left, you showed up. Anyone who doesn’t know might think you two planned this.”
He didn’t see Yang Jian, only the red light shining in, and he already knew who had arrived.
But the terrifying elders beside him appeared, enough to block all supernatural threats.
“Ye Zhen indeed lost. He is no match for you.”
In the dim corner, Yang Jian slowly walked out. He glanced at the two elders next to Wang Chaling.
“The ghost handlers from the Republic of China Period have transformed into spirits to protect their descendants. Such terrifying existence is indeed not easy to confront. After all, regardless of how strong this generation of ghost handlers is, they have only lived for a few years, unlike those old monsters who have survived for decades. You really are privileged, squeezing into the ranks of captains as an ordinary person.”
Yang Jian said, “Such existence in the supernatural circle is truly unique.”
“Yang Jian, are you mocking me for relying on my ancestors?” Wang Chaling said.
“That’s not my intention. I just want to know, if I were to act against the two ghosts beside you, would I have a chance of winning?” Yang Jian’s eyes slightly moved.
Wang Chaling fell silent.
He understood Yang Jian’s meaning, saying this was testing if he could eliminate him.
Unlike Ye Zhen.
This Yang Jian possesses the second Coffin Nail in the supernatural circle, reducing the number of ghosts around him from four to three when confronting Yang Jian, either his grandfather or grandmother would be nailed dead. Besides, the supernatural powers Yang Jian himself commands are also incredibly formidable.
So he really wasn’t confident he could win against Yang Jian.
“You’re much stronger than Ye Zhen. If it came to a real fight, your chances are definitely greater than his, but what might happen toward the end is uncertain.”
Wang Chaling didn’t show weakness, he needed to appear powerful.
Having just repelled Ye Zhen, he understood the survival rules of the supernatural circle.
Constant retreating is useless, he needed to show hard strength to intimidate opponents when necessary, otherwise, troubles would keep coming.
Yang Jian’s ghostly eyes swept over the two ghosts, slightly rotating. “It’s a pity I’m here to meet with you this time, not to fight. Otherwise, I really want to give it a try, especially since I clearly remember the last incident.”
The previous Pendulum Clock curse incident, because Wang Chaling didn’t take action, led to Chen Qiaoyang escaping, causing bad blood between the two.
“Ye Zhen is not from the headquarters, it makes sense for him to fight with me. You don’t have a reason to start a fight. As for the pendulum clock at my old mansion, if you’re capable, feel free to take it, but let me remind you, you’re responsible for whatever happens.”
Wang Chaling poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
He was really thirsty.
Previously, he had broken out in a cold sweat from Ye Zhen’s fright.
“Don’t worry, I will take it.”
Yang Jian said, “Now that Ye Zhen has gone, we’ll go to the headquarters for the meeting tomorrow. No more excuses.”
Wang Chaling said, “Earlier, if you had made a move, you could have killed Ye Zhen. The Coffin Nail you have restrains him greatly. Now that you’ve let him go, if he makes another leap forward, neither you nor I would be able to withstand him. Then it would be troublesome for the headquarters with such a powerful ghost handler emerging among civilians.”
“Don’t try to provoke. My actions are my business, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, I’ve already taken over the position of Enforcement Captain, and if necessary, I can kill a captain.” Yang Jian coldly glanced.
“Enforcement Captain? That’s why you personally came to Dadong City to invite me to the meeting.”
Wang Chaling paused, then understood the meaning behind the Enforcement Captain position.
“But why are you targeting me? There’s no deep hatred between us. The pendulum incident before was my fault, but it was at most a dereliction of duty and I had no intention of harming you. Our relationship should be more amicable, not like how it is now.”
Yang Jian said, “No, you misunderstood. I’m not targeting you, at least not intending to act soon. When inviting other captains, I almost ended up fighting. I’m just giving you a little pressure.”
“Pressure on me? Is it really okay to say it so directly?” Wang Chaling froze for a moment.
Yang Jian said, “There’s nothing wrong, you know it anyway.”
Wang Chaling smiled bitterly, “It’s meaningless once said outright, but why is the target of pressure me? I’ve always coordinated with the headquarters over there.”
“Because I always feel uneasy about you, someone who commands four ghosts, could stride through the supernatural circle but stays hidden in Dadong City, not going out. You’re either plotting something or have seen through the world, but I think the former probability is higher. So, I lured Ye Zhen over to test you.”
“No effect, unfortunately.”
“You brought Ye Zhen?” Wang Chaling’s gaze tightened, staring at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian said, “I just told him you command four ghosts and are very strong. He likes competing with experts, so he came. It’s that simple.”
“You’re not worried I’d be killed by him.” Wang Chaling said.
“If he kills you, I’d avenge you.”
Yang Jian said, “After all, the death of a captain is a big deal, so I must step forward to express something. But if your Wang family ends here, it would be troublesome. So I suggest you find a woman and have a child, let Wang Sidai emerge. It’s an extra insurance to prevent those ghosts from having no shackles.”
He looked over at the two terrifying ghosts beside Wang Chaling as he spoke.
“You really know a lot. That’s the Wang family’s secret. Where did you learn about it?”
Wang Chaling poured himself another cup of tea.
“Do you think I’d tell you?” Yang Jian said.
Wang Chaling’s eyes flickered, contemplating whether he should indeed have a child just in case?
Mystical matters are too dangerous, and as an ordinary person, he truly struggles to guarantee there won’t be accidents.
“Your suggestion is good, I’ll consider it.”
Wang Chaling said seriously, “But I prefer to end the Wang family’s fate with my own hands.”
“Without the protection of ghosts, you are nothing, end fate? Ridiculous, if it weren’t for the ghost protection, you’d already be dead from Ye Zhen’s punch today.” Yang Jian sneered coldly.
Wang Chaling said, “Without the ghost beside me, Ye Zhen wouldn’t try to find me.”
“Not using supernatural power and having none are two separate things.”
Yang Jian said, “Your knowledge surpasses mine significantly; you surely understand the logic better than me… Forget it, I don’t want to chat anymore. I need to go visit the next captain, see you at the meeting.”
He didn’t linger further.
Having confirmed Wang Chaling would attend the meeting, Yang Jian’s goal for this trip was already accomplished.
Wang Chaling watched as Yang Jian left, furrowing his brow deeply, “This Yang Jian actually suspects me, is it intuition? Or has he really found something?”
At this moment, he began feeling an inexplicable unease.
After all, he had stolen the Hungry Ghost and planned the ancient house reboot for a long time.
Now, with the plan having only just begun, Yang Jian was already watching, if there was any real move, it would likely be detected immediately.
“Indeed, I was too discreet, becoming too eccentric, causing many to doubt me.” Wang Chaling rubbed his head.
He felt that with being so closely monitored, the plan was practically impossible to succeed.
The only way was to first play the role of captain well and then subtly execute the ancient house reboot plan later.
After all, he had ample time.
These ghost handlers hardly survived for several years, even if they kept an eye on him, it would only be for a short while, not long-term.
