Chapter 166: You Are Yang Jian, The True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao Yang Jian!
The wind brought news.
Ye Zhen watched the ghost candle, blown by the wind but not extinguished.
“Have you found that lake?”
“Lead the way!”
The eerie wind instantly let out a howl and sped forward.
Ye Zhen quickly followed.
Behind him, a black and green smog, carrying the sound of footsteps, closely followed Ye Zhen.
Soon, Ye Zhen discovered the street covered by the gloomy lake water.
“Ghost Lake.”
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, threw the ghost candle directly into the water, and then his figure instantly disappeared.
At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly felt something was wrong.
The moment the ghost candle entered the water, the white ghost candle did not extinguish immediately.
Instead, it burned for a while before extinguishing.
And it was at this moment that both Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen felt something was wrong.
All the ghosts in the entire city seemed to have suddenly come alive at this moment.
Fang Shiming stared intently at the lake water submerging the street.
His ghost was being attracted.
He sensed it, and his expression immediately changed, “Are you kidding me? This lake water has the ability of a white ghost candle?”
Ye Zhen appeared beside Fang Shiming, his brows tightly knit, “Ghost candles are supernatural items, right? And they are consumable, not ghosts.”
“But they are made from the supernatural mixed with ghosts!” Fang Shiming said.
Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered, “What do we do now?”
Fang Shiming scanned his surroundings.
The starving ghost was directly attracted, and its ghost domain quickly covered this area.
Under the ghost domain, what happened inside was unclear.
“The result is the same, all fierce ghosts will gather, and ultimately a terrifying existence will emerge.”
“It’s actually more convenient for us.”
Although Ye Zhen did something foolish, the final outcome would not change.
“However, the ghost messenger probably can’t guide Lin Qian over.”
The lake water below seemed to possess a method to copy supernatural abilities.
“Hmm? The ghost messenger is also in there?”
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, a clear look of apprehension in his eyes.
“Yes, inside, but it seems to have very few quota slots and is trapped inside.”
He imagined the ghost messenger pitifully standing on a rock, surrounded by things that were either ghosts or corpses.
Unable to move at all.
It felt pitiful just thinking about it.
“Then tell Lin Qian, he wanted you to attract the ghost messenger over, likely to temporarily plunder the ghost messenger’s abilities to increase his own quota.”
Hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Fang Shiming nodded, “Mm.”
The wind brought over everything that had happened in the distance.
Lin Qian stroked his chin, “It makes no difference, whether the quota can be increased is not important.”
“You two be careful, the ghost messenger, the starving ghost, and the Ghost Lake, three ghosts have gathered together. If any one of them obtains the supernatural ability of another, they will inevitably devour the rest of the fierce ghosts very quickly.”
“An extremely terrifying fierce ghost will be born rapidly, don’t get yourself killed as cannon fodder for them.”
“After confirming who wins, leave quickly.”
After speaking, Lin Qian waved his hand, and the wind returned the way it came.
Ghost Lake, starving ghost, ghost messenger, three ghosts, if any ghost obtains the abilities of the others.
But in the blink of an eye, it will crush the other fierce ghosts.
From the current situation, Ghost Lake has the biggest chance of winning.
“The world inside the mirror is really not precise, of course, it’s also possible that the Ghost Lake in my memory is very strange.”
“It can even learn the ghost-attracting ability of a white ghost candle.”
Lin Qian smiled, this Ghost Lake was terrifyingly powerful.
He hoped Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen wouldn’t court death and let the Ghost Lake learn their abilities.
Otherwise, they might be killed by the Ghost Lake before this world could be burst by supernatural events.
After receiving Lin Qian’s message, the two felt a lot more at ease.
“It seems Lin Qian can’t be resurrected.”
“Ye Zhen, both of our abilities have been plundered by Lin Qian.”
“The probability of us defeating Lin Qian now is zero.”
“Moreover, Lin Qian might have used that ghost’s supernatural ability, causing the mirror that revives Lin Qian to disappear.”
Fang Shiming waited for a while and found that Lin Qian did not emerge again. He was certain in his heart that Lin Qian could not be resurrected.
“With Lin Qian around, it’s very difficult for the two of us to fight them, and we might even lose the chance to resurrect like Lin Qian did.”
Ye Zhen nodded upon hearing this, “Then what do you suggest we do.”
Fang Shiming thought for a while, “In any case, as long as we keep those three there, we will still get what we want.”
“We can revive infinitely, provided the mirror is not destroyed.”
Fang Shiming narrowed his eyes slightly, “Feed ourselves to the ghosts!”
Ye Zhen was stunned, “You mean…”
“That’s right, we’ll feed the starving ghost or the ghost messenger.”
Fang Shiming revealed a sinister smile.
“As long as those two ghosts possess our supernatural abilities, it will be very difficult for the three of them to leave.”
Ye Zhen thought for a moment, “An excellent idea.”
“And even if we fail and they escape, it’s fine, we still have a second chance.”
Fang Shiming said with extreme confidence.
Ye Zhen had no objections.
The two quickly disappeared from their original positions.
Inside the graveyard, a figure in red and white wandered.
With every step he took, his supernatural ability grew thicker.
And the grave soil around him rapidly lost its supernatural energy at this moment.
As the grave soil lost its supernatural energy, the mirror buried within emerged faster and faster.
Lin Qian waited for a while and found that the mirror image did not appear.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
“The mirror image didn’t come immediately, did something happen?”
Lin Qian pondered.
Could it be that those three knew that even working together they couldn’t defeat him, and decided not to come find him?
Lin Qian frowned, turned around, and red threads began to writhe and emerge from his feet.
The moment the threads appeared, they merged directly into the ground.
And then quickly spread towards the distance.
“Nothing?”
Lin Qian quickly saw the entire city.
But soon, something was wrong, Lin Qian discovered that his threads could not enter a certain area.
They would disappear as soon as they got close.
“That place… is where those three ghosts are?”
Lin Qian did not hesitate, enveloped by the eerie wind, he instantly transformed into a gust of eerie wind and rushed towards that place.
“Ghost Lake, starving ghost, ghost messenger…”
Fang Shiming looked at the black and green smog that was disappearing.
“Ghost Lake is about to gain the ability to leave the Ghost Lake.”
“The starving ghost seems to have been eaten.”
“What is Ghost Lake’s ability?”
Fang Shiming asked, waited a moment, and seemed to know Ghost Lake’s ability.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Ye Zhen, no need to feed the starving ghost and the ghost messenger, let’s just jump into the lake.”
Hearing this, Ye Zhen did not hesitate and plunged directly into the water.
Fang Shiming followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, two black mists floated on the water’s surface, and the black mists quickly disappeared into the air.
At this moment, on top of a tall building.
“They are very smart.”
The real Fang Shiming overlooked the scene below.
They had clearly seen the scene of the two mirror images committing suicide by jumping into the lake just now.
“The starving ghost was drowned, and then it disappeared quickly. It’s obvious that Ghost Lake learned the starving ghost’s ability.”
“And then ate the starving ghost.”
“Now, our mirror images have jumped into the lake.”
Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered, “Ghost Lake now possesses your and my supernatural abilities.”
“Although they are fake, in this fake world, they are actually real.”
“It doesn’t matter if we are real or fake. As long as they eat us, they will become real, and this ghost will become real.”
Fang Shiming was somewhat surprised, “You seem to know a lot about this?”
Ye Zhen became proud upon hearing this, “Of course, I learned this from anime, doesn’t it make a lot of sense?”
Fang Shiming: “…”
He didn’t know how to comment, so he simply shut up.
The black and green ghost domain had already disappeared.
Ghost Lake seemed to have become even more terrifying.
No, not seemed, but it had.
The ghost messenger was instantly suppressed, then eaten.
The extreme nature of the ghost messenger originally dictated that it would not be eaten.
But unfortunately, it was drowned by the Ghost Lake.
Ghost Lake instantly learned all of its abilities.
Including the ghost domain.
At this moment, Ghost Lake lacked nothing.
Countless fierce ghosts were attracted into the Ghost Lake.
“Um, I have a bad premonition.”
Liu Ping suddenly spoke.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen turned around abruptly, “When did you get here.”
Liu Ping looked somewhat bewildered.
“I’ve been here for a long time.”
“Really?”
Ye Zhen was somewhat disbelieving.
Fang Shiming also felt it was strange.
But according to their senses, there was no problem with the other party.
“What bad premonition do you have?”
Fang Shiming asked.
“Um, you guys look, that bride in a wedding dress holding an oil painting, with a cabinet behind her, doesn’t she look familiar?”
“Doesn’t she look like the bride we encountered before?”
“Although this bride is a dried corpse.”
“Also, next to the bride, under the moving streetlight, isn’t there a figure? That looks like a ghost.”
Liu Ping pointed to a scene on the street in the distance and said.
Ye Zhen slightly turned his head, his gaze instantly fell under the moving streetlight Liu Ping mentioned, and his expression immediately became grave.
Fang Shiming’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the dried corpse bride holding an oil painting.
Behind the bride followed a strange red cabinet.
Fang Shiming didn’t know what the cabinet was.
But he knew what the oil painting and the dried corpse bride were.
He also knew what kind of ghost was under the moving streetlight.
“Can this world withstand it?”
Fang Shiming asked a soul-piercing question.
“I don’t know if this world can withstand it, but I know we might be finished.”
Hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Fang Shiming did not hesitate, “Let’s go, let’s go find Lin Qian.”
An eerie wind instantly enveloped Liu Ping.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from their original positions.
At this moment, Lin Qian was overlooking the scene below from the air.
“Ghost Bride, Ghost Cabinet, Ghost Painting, Wish Ghost.”
Shifting his gaze, Lin Qian looked in a direction where a street was being consumed by lake water, with several fierce ghosts being swallowed.
Faintly, Lin Qian saw what seemed like a pair of eyes looking over from the water’s surface.
The lake water suddenly spread, almost in the blink of an eye.
The Ghost Bride was directly swallowed, and even the Wish Ghost was swallowed by the lake water at this moment.
The supernatural power of the Ghost Lake became increasingly terrifying.
And the lake water was also surging.
The city was being submerged by a flood.
Tall buildings were half-submerged in a short period.
Lin Qian watched this scene, “The Great Flood Plan.”
He smiled faintly.
How many ghosts the Ghost Lake had consumed, he didn’t know.
Anyway, according to the current judgment, the Ghost Lake was one ghost.
But this ghost’s terror level had already surpassed a certain limit.
The moment the Ghost Lake submerged the city, it stopped surging.
Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen, and Liu Ping stood on the rooftop of a tall building, with the Ghost Lake right beneath their feet.
“Now, this world truly only has this one ghost left.”
Ye Zhen said.
Fang Shiming’s expression was grave, “I feel very uneasy.”
Liu Ping’s face was extremely pale at this moment; the fierce ghost within him was completely uncontrollable.
He knew he had been influenced by the supernatural.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen were in a similar situation.
Even Lin Qian in the sky was in the same situation; the supernatural was being influenced and controlled.
But the three of them had methods to circumvent it.
This was even without the Ghost Lake truly unleashing its supernatural power.
If it truly unleashed its supernatural power, who knew what terrifying things would appear.
“Look quickly, it seems like someone is emerging from the water.”
Liu Ping suddenly shouted.
On the gloomy water surface, a figure slowly emerged at some unknown time.
The figure was wearing a red dress, with black hair down to its waist.
The person’s expression was blank; though there was some deadness in its eyes, there was also a hint of human emotion.
The figure quickly surfaced, standing on the water barefoot.
As if seeing Fang Shiming and the others.
It tilted its head slightly, and then, it did something that made Fang Shiming and the others terrified.
“Who am I?”
The other party spoke!
It was a woman’s voice, cold and somewhat eerie.
But the voice carried a human-like quality.
Fang Shiming’s expression was uncertain, “Has it developed consciousness from eating too many ghosts?”
Ye Zhen stared intently at this woman.
He felt pressure.
The other party possessed the same ability as him.
Liu Ping swallowed, his whole body growing cold.
Did the ghost just speak?
And it said, “Who am I?”
The three of them didn’t know how to respond, nor what to do.
The scene before them was too unsettling.
“Too many patterns, and it actually spawned consciousness.”
“Although I had this guess early on, seeing it for real still causes shock.”
Lin Qian exhaled, and instantly appeared before Fang Shiming and the others.
“Who am I?”
The repeated question confirmed to Lin Qian that the other party had gained consciousness.
“What should we do?”
Fang Shiming asked softly.
The terrifying thing had been nurtured, but the situation seemed somewhat wrong now.
Lin Qian did not answer Fang Shiming but stared straight at the woman.
He licked his lips, “I hope my memories have been acquired sufficiently.”
The figure’s gaze remained fixed on them.
As if waiting for their answer.
“You are Yang Jian, the True Lord of Erudition and Wonderful Dao, Yang Jian!”
Lin Qian quickly answered loudly.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen were stunned, and Liu Ping was completely bewildered.
“Seriously, bro, you’re calling a ghost Yang Jian?”
“True Lord of Erudition and Wonderful Dao, Yang Jian?”
Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen, and Liu Ping’s gazes at Lin Qian changed at this moment.
“Yang Jian? I am Yang Jian?”
The woman on the water tilted her head slightly, repeating the name Yang Jian.
“Yang Jian, I am Yang Jian…”
“Yes, I am Yang Jian.”
“I am Yang Jian!”
The woman repeated incessantly, as if driven mad.
Gradually, Fang Shiming and the others noticed something was wrong.
The woman’s form and appearance were slowly changing.
Her black hair slowly straightened.
Her facial features shifted slightly, and a golden eye opened on her forehead.
Then, she tilted her head slightly, and a spear appeared in her hand.
From the water, a dog emitting black energy also emerged.
Fang Shiming’s mouth twitched, while Ye Zhen stared intently at the golden eye on her forehead.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, “Isn’t this a bit too much?”
