Dadong City.

It wasn’t Yang Jian’s first time here; last time, he came to this city due to some personal grievances, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

Recalling his previous experience, it still remained vivid to Yang Jian.

The only regret was not taking care of the ghost tamer named Chen Qiaoyang last time. Now, after so much time has passed, Chen Qiaoyang has not reappeared, which made Yang Jian somewhat concerned.

The bustling street was full of people coming and going.

Yang Jian’s sudden appearance did not attract anyone’s attention; he naturally mingled with the crowd, walking down the streets just like most of the passersby.

“Let’s get something to eat first.”

Upon arriving in Dadong City, Yang Jian did not immediately seek out Wang Chaling; instead, he planned to take a breather, rest a bit, and have something to eat before continuing his next steps.

It was still early, only nine-thirty in the evening.

It had only taken him a few hours to leave the headquarters, traverse a large circuit around the country, meet several captains, and even handle some supernatural issues.

This efficiency was worthy of the price the headquarters paid.

Yang Jian arrived at a large food stall and ordered a pile of items like barbecue and seafood.

He used to really enjoy eating these, but at some point, he gradually lost his taste for gourmet food, and most of the time he didn’t even eat, as his current body functioned even if he were dead, sustained by the Supernatural Power belonging to Ghost Shadow.

A table full of seafood and barbecue was not something one person could finish; such an order was indeed a waste, but Yang Jian didn’t need to finish all this food, he just needed a place to rest.

“Better call Wang Chaling first.”

Yang Jian, eating as he spoke, picked up his phone and dialed a number.

The information provided by the headquarters included contact details of all captains, though whether these contacts were still valid was unknown.

Under normal circumstances, this number should reach Wang Chaling.

Quickly.

The call went through.

But the phone on the other side was continuously in a state of no answer.

Yang Jian wasn’t in a rush. He kept eating his skewers and drinking cola, and then dialed for a second time.

This time, the call connected after only a few rings.

“Yang Jian? Is that you? What are you calling me for?” Wang Chaling’s voice came from the other end.

Yang Jian said, “The headquarters wants to hold a captains meeting and requested you attend. You must have been notified earlier, but you refused. Now, the headquarters has sent me to Dadong City to invite you to attend the meeting. I wonder if you will give me this honor.”

“I’m aware of the captains meeting, and I’m not against attending, but I’m currently entangled with Ye Zhen from Dahai City and can’t leave. If you can help me resolve this trouble, I’ll immediately go to headquarters with you.”

Wang Chaling responded straightforwardly from the other end.

“Ye Zhen is in Dadong City?” Yang Jian frowned.

Wang Chaling said, “Correct, came here a while ago, looking for a fight with me.”

“…” Yang Jian suddenly remembered.

It was previously at the Ghost Post Office when he fooled Ye Zhen, saying Wang Chaling was very powerful with four ghosts under control and suggested sparring with him.

Didn’t expect Ye Zhen to really come.

And he hasn’t returned for so long since he arrived here.

“Does a fight between you two take this long?” Yang Jian asked.

Wang Chaling said, “We haven’t really started fighting; I used a method to stall him because I don’t want to have a conflict with this lunatic for now.”

“I see.”

Yang Jian said, “However, this isn’t a reason for you to skip the meeting. Ye Zhen’s matter is yours to solve. I only need you to come to headquarters for the meeting tomorrow, and anything else I won’t care about.”

“Yang Jian, you’re making this difficult for me. Ye Zhen has been pestering me, making it impossible for me to leave unless you want me to fight him.” Wang Chaling said.

“Then fight him,” Yang Jian replied.

Wang Chaling added, “If we really start fighting, it could get messy; he is an admin of the supernatural forums and has quite a few folk ghost tamers under him. If I win, I’m sure there will be endless trouble from him in the future. If I lose, I might get killed by him, and once I die, the headquarters won’t just let it go, right?”

“So the best approach is mediation, just like when you and Ye Zhen faced off in Dahai City, Wei Jing mediated. He’s not from headquarters, so if things get too intense, I’d suggest just killing him. If we join forces, this matter shouldn’t be hard to resolve.”

He attempted to rope Yang Jian into it, seeing that they had previous issues between them.

This might be an opportunity to join forces and get rid of Ye Zhen; the possibility isn’t non-existent.

“I’m not interested in this fighting and killing. I suggest you find someone else to cooperate with. But make sure to be at headquarters before noon tomorrow; if I don’t see you, I might take action against you.”

Yang Jian said calmly, as if stating a trivial matter.

“You should be in Dadong City right now.”

Wang Chaling’s tone shifted, suddenly saying.

“Eating at a food stall.”

Yang Jian replied, “Why, not welcome me?”

“No, it’s just that Ye Zhen might look for you, and I’m sure he’d prefer to give you trouble more than me,” Wang Chaling said.

Yang Jian responded, “Who Ye Zhen chooses to trouble is his business. I’m here to handle my affairs. Now I want to eat; you have an hour to reply. Don’t make me wait too long.”

After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

Meanwhile.

Inside a high-rise building.

Wang Chaling, who had just recently sent Ye Zhen away, was now standing in front of the glass window, overlooking the brightly lit Dadong City.

“The headquarters actually let Yang Jian take the lead, this guy is another problem, not so easy to handle.”

Wang Chaling furrowed his brow deeply and slowly set down his satellite phone.

The reason for him not attending the meeting was just an excuse. If he really wanted to, he could take a trip to the headquarters, but he didn’t want to leave Dadong City. He had his own matters to attend to and didn’t want to get involved in paranormal events elsewhere, wasting his time and energy.

“I intended to join hands with Yang Jian to deal with Ye Zhen, but he saw through my purpose and was unwilling to make a move. But I also warned him, if necessary, to let Ye Zhen cause trouble for him. Yet Yang Jian remained unmoved… meaning he wasn’t worried I would secretly team up with Ye Zhen against him.” Wang Chaling lowered his head slightly, contemplating.

“Anyway, Ye Zhen should be tested for his attitude.”

Thinking of this, Wang Chaling picked up the phone again and dialed Ye Zhen’s number.

Soon.

Inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Ye Zhen, who was soaking in a bath while sipping milk, quickly answered the phone: “So it’s Xiao Wang, what can I do for you?”

“Yang Jian came to Dadong City, are you interested in finding him?”

Wang Chaling spoke directly.

He wanted to draw Ye Zhen over to Yang Jian, letting their personal grudge erupt so he could stay out of it.

“What? Yang Wudi came to Dadong City, when?”

Ye Zhen’s interest was suddenly piqued, and his voice rose a few degrees.

Wang Chaling said: “He probably just arrived tonight. Right now, he’s at a street food stall in this city for a night snack. If you want to find him, you’d better hurry; you know his Ghost Domain; he could be back in Dachang City in a minute.”

“Makes sense, but it’s not very meaningful for me to find him now. At present, I haven’t even defeated you, so it’s not time to challenge Yang Jian yet. Wait, since Yang Jian is in Dadong City this time, it’s a good opportunity—let him be a witness. I’ll defeat you first, then use the momentum of my victory to fight a second battle. With battle feeding battle, I can forge an invincible heart.”

“Tonight, under the dark wind and high night sky, let’s not play chess, Xiao Wang. Let’s have an honest duel.”

Ye Zhen’s competitive spirit was ignited at this moment. He wanted to win successive battles today, sweep away his previous decadence, and reclaim the number one title in the supernatural circle.

He shouted loudly, and the night sky of Dadong City was lit up by the light.

The light was eerie, as if it appeared out of thin air, with no source of illumination, but it seemed illusory, not real, like a mirage fabricated by the Ghost Domain.

Buzz!

Wang Chaling hurriedly set down his phone, his ears buzzed and hummed from the loud shout.

“This guy isn’t quite right in the head.” His face immediately turned gloomy.

But then he saw a bright light from the distant sky shining towards this direction, that light converged into a path made of steps, and Ye Zhen, blazing with light, stepped down from high above.

Those who didn’t know might think a deity was descending to earth.

In fact, it was just one of Ye Zhen’s little tricks from his Ghost Domain, serving no purpose other than to show off.

“Xiao Wang, let’s fight.”

Ye Zhen shouted loudly, without a sliver of shame, wishing the whole world would know about his fight with Xiao Wang tonight.

“…”

At this moment, Wang Chaling felt like he was lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have mentioned Yang Jian.

“Xiao Wang, this time you can’t escape, Yang Jian is watching nearby. I want to show him how I defeat you.” Ye Zhen said.

Wang Chaling said, “I won’t fight you.”

“It’s not up to you now.” Ye Zhen shouted.

The next moment, he strode down the brilliant steps directly towards Wang Chaling.

“This guy really intends to fight.” Wang Chaling’s expression changed dramatically.

Immediately, two ominous, black-and-white strange old men appeared behind him.

“You are indeed willing to fight,” Ye Zhen exclaimed with joy at the sight.

Wang Chaling’s face darkened further; was this really fighting? This was self-preservation.

Soon after,

The entire floor was enveloped in light as Ye Zhen, along the encroaching Ghost Domain, reached his side in an instant.

“Take a punch from me.” Ye Zhen raised his hand and swung a punch at Wang Chaling.

But suddenly,

A sinister, black-and-white old man appeared in front of Wang Chaling to block the punch.

This was Wang Chaling’s grandmother.

A terrifying specter who had become a malevolent ghost long ago.

“What?”

Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly narrowed; his punch hadn’t even budged this old thing.

“Don’t go too far, Ye Zhen,” Wang Chaling said with a calm face.
