Chapter 273: Yang Jian’s Wedding
At this moment,
only to see on the dim path,
a small cluster of candle flame emanating weirdness was held above someone’s head, drifting over from far to near at a steady pace.
The candle flame swayed unsteadily under the cool night breeze, as if it might go out at any moment, but for some reason, every time it was about to extinguish, the flame stubbornly reignited.
Chen Yi was walking alone at this moment, the road ahead seeming endless, stretching all the way into the dark depths in the distance.
And he, holding the Ghost Candle overhead, was also rapidly moving away from the massive, bustling city behind him.
“Damn it, why haven’t the Ghost Painting and those five ghosts attacked me? Whatever, first lure it away.” Although Chen Yi didn’t look back, he already felt his scalp tingling and his whole body chilling.
Just thinking about it was horrifying.
Five ghosts,
No,
six ghosts were staring at him from behind right now, and this was just the beginning.
From now on, this group of ghosts would follow him all the way until this mission ended.
Looking at the long road stretching into the distance, Chen Yi thought gravely in his heart: “Can I really walk this road alive?”
He didn’t dare look back, didn’t even dare make a sound, and had to avoid unnecessary body movements as much as possible.
No one knew what the ghosts’ killing pattern behind him was.
Once truly targeted, Chen Yi knew very well that he absolutely couldn’t withstand a Ghost Attack, even as a Ghost Wielder; it would only take a few seconds for him to be killed on the spot.
So he had no idea what was happening behind him and just blindly dashed toward the suburbs away from Dajing City.
Jiang Shan, who had just arrived, originally only wanted to try seeing if the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain could invade the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain and save Chen Yi; it actually wasn’t important to him.
Now the source of the Ghost Painting was right in front of him, and this ghost seemed to have found the puzzle piece it needed, namely this magnificent Ghost House like a luxurious villa.
So no matter what, Jiang Shan wanted to give it a try to see if he could restrict or handle it.
He, who knew most of the intelligence on the Ghost Painting and had become an anomaly, wasn’t worried about dying from a Ghost Painting attack.
Attempting was a necessary measure.
“To keep the Ghost Painting in a relatively safe state, it needs to keep moving.”
So even if the supernatural power controlled by Jiang Shan couldn’t handle the Ghost Painting, he could immediately take over from Chen Yi and use the Ghost Candle to lure the Ghost Painting away from Dajing City.
But the result left him dumbfounded; not only was the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain not suppressed by the nearly terrifying Ghost Painting Ghost Domain,
On the contrary,
it effortlessly invaded the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain in an inconceivable state.
No,
not invasion,
but fusion!
Jiang Shan, who had appeared at the Ghost House gate, immediately stopped in his tracks upon sensing the anomaly, staring coldly at the woman whose face couldn’t be seen clearly in front of him.
The woman’s figure suddenly blurred in the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain, and the vivid, eerie ink on her body became extremely dim.
In just a few short seconds,
the alluring woman whose appearance couldn’t be made out completely vanished from Jiang Shan’s sight as if she had never been there.
“The Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain has undergone a weird change; did it steal the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain’s supernatural?”
As the woman disappeared, Jiang Shan was astonished to discover that the paper ash floating in the silver light had actually formed a hazy, blurry world.
It was a dim, oppressive city, with grayish-white things drifting in the sky above the city, like paper ash or a kind of haze.
“This is the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain; could the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain have connected with the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain?”
Jiang Shan, with furrowed brows, stood in the silver light; he could now clearly see that the other end of the silver light was a massive cityscape, identical to the city he was in, except some areas still had defects, seemingly shrouded in darkness and not connected to the other regions.
But it was already close enough.
The Ghost Painting’s invasion of this city had already progressed over halfway!
“It seems the Ghost Painting has been invading Dajing City for a while. Sure enough, someone’s purpose is to use the Starving Ghost and subordinate painting to restrict Old Qin, thereby enveloping the entire Dajing City in the Ghost Painting World.”
“Is it Zhang Xiangguang?”
Looking at the city that was nearly fully formed, Jiang Shan’s expression grew grave; he didn’t even know how the woman serving as the Ghost Painting supernatural’s carrier had disappeared.
Much less know who all the participants in the Dajing City chaos were.
A mass of “Black Haze” always shrouded the sky over Dajing City, shrouding the eyes of every Ghost Wielder.
Even the current number one Ghost Wielder, Old Qin; even Jiang Shan, who knew the most intelligence; even the top captain domestically, had all along been blinded by this mass of Black Haze.
Just as Jiang Shan was about to use his Ghost Domain to chase Chen Yi, a long-absent chill suddenly assaulted his brain, and eerie characters written in fresh blood surprisingly appeared in his mind on their own.
Jiang Shan, who had only left behind the supernatural through supernatural means, was destined such that the Ghost Characters with precognition of the future could never fully foresee his future at this stage.
Perhaps because of the extreme balance of supernatural power, the Ghost Characters’ precognition was no longer intermittent like before, but had a nearly “complete” writing:
“I am Jiang Shan. Even though I have become an anomaly, I will still die three days from now due to the Dead Face Ghost’s resurrection. If I want to avoid death.”
“I must enter the painting’s world, assist Yang in transferring the Ghost Sound’s curse and his ‘wedding’. Only if the Ghost Painting is controlled can I avoid the Dead Face Ghost’s resurrection, thereby ensuring my past won’t be eaten by it, and.”
It seemed to have been affected by some supernatural influence, and the Ghost Characters that were still emerging abruptly stopped.
Clearly,
this prophecy was incomplete; what would happen next, Jiang Shan had no way of knowing.
But from these fewer than a hundred characters, it was enough for him to analyze a lot of intelligence.
“Ghost Sound? Wedding? Control Ghost Painting?”
“Yang Jian really wasn’t killed by the Ghost Messenger. So, he must have been cursed by the Ghost Bride, which led him to open the music box, so he’s in the Ghost Painting World now?”
Based on his understanding of Yang Jian and the Ghost Characters’ precognition intelligence, Jiang Shan roughly guessed his whereabouts.
“My past will be eaten… by the Dead Face Ghost? It stole the Ghost Painting’s supernatural and mutated, so it’s now in another resurrection state?”
“What exactly caused the woman representing the Ghost Painting supernatural to disappear?”
Now,
Jiang Shan’s hesitation to enter the Ghost Painting World wasn’t out of fear of death, but because the current situation couldn’t do without his coordination.
If the Ghost Painting wasn’t solved, it wouldn’t be long before the Ghost Painting dragged the entire Dajing City into the Ghost Domain’s world.
