In the cabin of the Ghost Ship, Yang Jian held onto the half-destroyed corpse in his hand, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

As long as he could acquire the supernatural power of this ghost, he would have the ability to break through reality and the supernatural, and possibly gain other powerful supernatural abilities. After all, the supernatural bus was also a terrifying existence. Even if this fierce ghost was smashed and only half remained, it was still a terrifying existence for Yang Jian.

“Leave immediately.”

Yang Jian grasped the broken corpse and quickly headed towards the exit of the Ghost Ship.

At this moment, the captain had not yet returned. It seemed Ye Zhen had paid a hefty price to successfully delay him, otherwise, the operation wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

As he ran out, Yang Jian also began to drive the new fierce ghost.

The dark Ghost Shadow surged like ink, invading the broken corpse in his hand.

With the invasion of the Ghost Shadow, the broken corpse seemed on the verge of revival, beginning to twitch. Furthermore, the damaged and twisted areas began to recover at a visible speed, but this abnormal occurrence wasn’t due to the ghost itself; it was because the Ghost Shadow was manipulating this broken corpse.

As a Ghost Shadow, it inherently had the ability to piece together corpses. Still, Yang Jian, as a ghost handler, dared not rashly drive a new fierce ghost, which was why he seldom used this ability.

With the continuous invasion of the Ghost Shadow, Yang Jian gradually established some connection with the broken corpse.

Yang Jian could feel a terrifying supernatural power merging into the Ghost Shadow. However, this terrifying supernatural force was now dormant. If it awakened, he definitely couldn’t control it and would be instantly consumed by it, eventually being overwhelmed and reduced to pieces of the fierce ghost. Therefore, pursuing this supernatural power beyond his control was extremely dangerous.

But in the current situation, Yang Jian couldn’t care that much.

Without the supernatural help of this incomplete fierce ghost, Yang Jian couldn’t possibly deal with the captain. As for the danger, that was a matter for later. As long as the ghost remained dormant and un-revived, it would be all right.

“Something’s not right.”

As Yang Jian was withdrawing, driving the new fierce ghost, a certain intuition told him that something seemed to be following him, causing him some unease.

Yet, using his Ghost Eye to look around, he saw nothing, and there was no apparent danger.

“Is it an illusion? Or have I already been targeted by a fierce ghost hidden in the shadows and haven’t discovered it yet?” Yang Jian frowned, remaining vigilant, but he didn’t stop moving.

Even if a fierce ghost did appear here, he couldn’t afford to waste time.

The longer he stayed on the Ghost Ship, the more dangerous it became.

Therefore, Yang Jian knew something was wrong around him but still ignored it, because more important things awaited him.

And just as he completed his action of withdrawing from the Ghost Ship.

Outside, Ye Zhen, to prevent the captain from entering the Ghost Ship, had risked everything. Yet, even then, Ye Zhen was in a perilous situation, several times almost unable to use the Scapegoat Ghost’s ability, nearly dying. Fortunately, an eerie doll was clinging to his back, constantly opening its mouth, warning Ye Zhen of impending danger.

If not for this, Ye Zhen would have died long ago, unable to hold out until now.

“What the hell is this thing? Why is it so terrifying? I, Ye Zhen, am not its opponent at all. Luckily, I had a plan with the Coffin Nail; otherwise, I’d be done for here.” At this moment, Ye Zhen’s face was somber, devoid of his usual confidence and arrogance, replaced by caution and unease.

Though he was immature, he was smart; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived in the supernatural circle until now.

The previous confrontation had made Ye Zhen deeply aware that the ghost before him was something he couldn’t handle. Merely delaying the fierce ghost from returning to the Ghost Ship was already a life-risking move, but this delay wouldn’t last long.

Because at this moment, the captain was already very close to the Ghost Ship, almost standing beneath it, merely a dozen meters away from entering the ship’s cabin.

Yet, Ye Zhen still stood in front, blocking the fierce ghost’s advance.

He didn’t retreat because he had promised Yang Jian to help stop the fierce ghost, and as a man, once he made a promise, he couldn’t back down.

But now, Ye Zhen’s condition was indeed quite poor.

The twisted long sword he held had somehow fallen elsewhere during a failed clash with the fierce ghost. Additionally, there were several gaping wounds on his body, as if he had been dismembered into several pieces and then stitched back together, with the wounds intermittently splitting open.

Even the supernatural power of the Scapegoat Ghost couldn’t restore himself at this moment.

This situation had occurred before when Ye Zhen and Yang Jian broke into the Ghost Ship, but then he faced attacks from a group of fierce ghosts, and this time, it was merely one fierce ghost.

If this situation continued, Ye Zhen would die.

However, despite having given so much, Ye Zhen also reaped some rewards.

He glanced down slightly, tightly clutching a rusty Coffin Nail in his hand.

During the confrontation with the fierce ghost, Ye Zhen, risking being nailed to death, had retrieved the Coffin Nail. But Ye Zhen understood it was useless against the fierce ghost; however, he also knew if the fierce ghost held onto the Coffin Nail, his situation would become even more passive.

“Damn ghost thing, let’s keep fighting,” Ye Zhen sneered, then casually tossed the Coffin Nail aside.

With a plop, it quickly sank into the Ghost Lake and vanished.

He refused to let the fierce ghost reclaim the Coffin Nail, so he simply submerged it, knowing Yang Jian could retrieve it later.

The captain’s dead eyes turned slightly, resting on Ye Zhen, seemingly contemplating whether to return to the cabin to kill Yang Jian or to take Ye Zhen down here.

To it, both individuals deserved to die; the only difference was who would die first and who would die later.

“No movement? Are you afraid of me, Ye Zhen?” At this moment, Ye Zhen noticed the ghost was behaving unusually. It didn’t keep approaching the Ghost Ship as it did before but stood motionless.

Yet those lifeless eyes were terrifying, staring straight at him, sending chills down his spine.

But in the next moment, an anomaly occurred.

Ye Zhen suddenly felt a darkness looming over his head, as if something had blocked the light, causing him to instinctively glance upward.

This glance made Ye Zhen’s pupils suddenly shrink.

Bodies, countless bodies, poured down from above like a deluge, their numbers enough to engulf him entirely. In the process of that downpour, many bodies opened their eyes and awakened.

They weren’t bodies at all… they were all ghosts.

In that instant, all the ghosts on the Ghost Ship seemed to pour out at once, no longer falling sporadically as before.

“Damn it.” Ye Zhen was both shocked and angry as he clenched his fists tightly, unsure of what to do.

With such a dense cover of supernatural activity, there was nowhere for him to escape.

Even the eerie human skin doll clinging to his back had shut its mouth at that moment, no longer communicating with Ye Zhen.

Perhaps, in the doll’s eyes, Ye Zhen was already a dead man, and it had already decided to abandon this host and move on to the next person.

Ye Zhen roared and fought back, managing to push back several cold corpses, but he was too insignificant; it was futile, unable to change anything. Within less than two seconds, he was engulfed by the countless ghosts, and his roar was brutally silenced by the terrifying supernatural aura.

Everything around fell into a dead silence.

The captain remained motionless, with those lifeless eyes staring at the spot where Ye Zhen was buried, seemingly waiting for him to rise again.

But he didn’t wait for Ye Zhen to reappear, and there was no movement from the buried spot.

It seemed that Ye Zhen was already dead.

However, as some of the ghosts sank into the Ghost Lake, the pile of bodies began to spread out, and the spot where Ye Zhen was buried gradually reappeared.

Oddly, there was no sign of Ye Zhen in that spot.

Naturally, Ye Zhen’s body couldn’t be found nearby either.

He seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The captain’s lifeless eyes turned, seemingly searching for Ye Zhen’s position, but it failed.

This situation was beyond anyone’s comprehension.

Because Ye Zhen disappearing was impossible; at that time, Ye Zhen’s Ghost Domain had already been sealed off, with no chance of escape.

In fact, Ye Zhen had not escaped; he was still in the same place.

But Ye Zhen’s current location was not in reality but within the supernatural realm.

“Where is this? Wasn’t I in Dazhou City?” Ye Zhen found himself standing alone on a road, the road stretching endlessly in both directions.

This world was dim and gloomy, exuding an eerie and ominous aura.

“This is the supernatural realm corresponding to reality. Even ghosts of the captain’s caliber can’t easily cross this boundary.” Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Ye Zhen looked towards the voice and saw a person standing in front of a grove beside the road.

That person was none other than Yang Jian.

Just moments ago, before Yang Jian had emerged from the Ghost Ship, he witnessed Ye Zhen being buried by the ghosts. In desperation, he had no choice but to use his barely mastered supernatural vision power, breaking the boundary of reality, and forcibly pulling Ye Zhen and himself into this supernatural realm.

Only this could prevent being targeted by the captain.

“Thanks to you distracting the captain, I was able to execute the first step of my plan. Otherwise, I would definitely have died inside the Ghost Ship, with no chance of escaping alive,” Yang Jian said seriously.

“A trivial matter, not worth mentioning,” Ye Zhen snorted slightly, appearing very arrogant.

However, the constantly cracking lines on his body indicated he was merely putting on a brave front.

He needed some time to rest, at least in the near future he couldn’t confront the captain directly again.

Yang Jian continued, “You’ve helped me accomplish the most crucial step. Next, I’ll take action again, completely imprisoning this captain and ending the Ghost Ship incident.”

After speaking, he glanced slightly over his shoulder.

Behind Yang Jian was an eerie Old Lin.

Following the path through the center of the Old Lin to its end, one could see an ancient Chinese mansion.

It had once been his nightmare.

But soon, it will also become the captain’s nightmare.
