Chapter 1329 1296: A Changed Experience

Yang Jian tried to leverage Zhou Zheng’s influence to find Wang Shanshan. Of course, he valued not Zhou Zheng’s personal abilities, but the intelligence capabilities of the headquarters behind him. If the headquarters investigated Wang Shanshan, then no matter where Wang Shanshan was, as long as she hadn’t disappeared without a trace, she could definitely be found.

However, he did not place all his hopes on Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng’s appearance was merely an experiment by Yang Jian.

“Let’s look elsewhere.”

Yang Jian didn’t waste any time. He decided to search for Wang Shanshan elsewhere. He first arrived at the Guanjiang Residential Complex in Dachang City.

At this moment, Guanjiang Residential Complex was still under construction. Although most of the buildings were completed, a small section was still under construction, and there were even a few old houses scattered around the construction site.

Some of these houses were being demolished, while others had not been.

And because the owner of the Republic Era Ancient House had not been found, it remained abandoned, preventing its smooth demolition. The project manager dared not forcibly demolish it.

Because of this, the deserted Republic Era Ancient House was preserved.

Yang Jian appeared in front of this ancient house at this moment.

The collapsed gate, the yard overgrown with weeds, the leaky roof, walls covered in green moss… everything was so familiar, everything was so rundown.

However, Yang Jian’s gaze stopped at the thick blue-brick wall.

No matter how rundown this Republic Era Ancient House was, its main structure remained intact, because inside the house were three rooms containing incredible supernatural items.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian used the Ghost Domain to go inside.

He skillfully went to the second floor of the ancient house and then pushed open an old wooden door on the second floor.

The wooden door was locked.

The old copper lock was rusty, but it couldn’t stop Yang Jian. With just a push, the copper lock snapped, and the wooden door was opened.

The first room revealed itself.

Yang Jian glanced around and fixated on an object covered by a ragged black cloth.

That was… the Ghost Mirror.

But after a glance, Yang Jian immediately closed the door.

“It’s exactly the same as three years ago, even the Ghost Mirror is here. If this is merely a false world constructed supernaturally, then there’s no reason it could even construct supernatural items…”

Yang Jian came here to further verify.

Confirming the situation of the Republic Era Ancient House made him realize that everything here seemed real.

In other words, if he could see the Ghost Mirror here, he could also see that tall black shadow in the monastery basement, as well as the Coffin Nail, and if he went to the Caesar Hotel, he could find a Firewood Knife.

Not only that.

He could also resolve the Door Knocking Ghost incident, prevent the Hungry Ghost incident, and even go to Huanggang Village to take the Ghost Coffin, stopping many supernatural events from occurring.

Everything was so tempting.

Yang Jian now had the strength to do all this.

But, as a ghost rider, his instincts told him that things weren’t so simple, and perhaps this might all be a trap.

Change the past?

What a tempting prospect, even more so than resurrecting loved ones and friends in the world of wandering souls.

But what about the result of resurrecting loved ones?

Liu Qi and Seow Yang were nearly lost on the roads haunted by wandering souls.

So would trying to change the past be an even bigger pitfall?

Yang Jian furrowed his brows, thinking this was very possible.

Then he checked the Ghost Cabinet in the second room.

There was no change either.

This indicated that nothing here had been discovered yet, and Wang Shanshan hadn’t returned here.

Yang Jian did not stay any longer and chose to leave the Guanjiang Residential Complex.

He started patrolling Dachang City using his Ghost Eye over the next period of time.

There was no need to intentionally search for someone. As long as the Ghost Domain of the Ghost Eye covered the Ghost Child or Wang Shanshan, the supernatural would sense each other, and he would quickly find them.

The result was apparent.

Wang Shanshan was not in Dachang City.

Her disappearance seemed to be the only abnormality in this world; everything else was just like three years ago.

This made Yang Jian wonder if Wang Shanshan had, like him, opened that door and returned here.

Yang Jian walked through the streets of Dachang City, deep in thought.

Meanwhile,

after Zhou Zheng had contact with Yang Jian, he used headquarters’ intelligence to search nationwide for a person named Wang Shanshan.

With accurate information and data, searching for such a person wasn’t particularly difficult; it just needed a bit of time.

But after headquarters received the news, their main interest wasn’t in the person named Wang Shanshan, but Yang Jian.

Because records showed that Yang Jian was merely a regular high school senior, completely unconnected to ghost riders. How could he overnight become a top ghost rider with a Ghost Domain?

Headquarters felt that this matter wasn’t so simple, so they assigned Zhao Jianguo to ensure Yang Jian was thoroughly investigated.

“Zhou Zheng, contact that person named Yang Jian. I want to meet him. He should still be in Dachang City at this time,” Zhao Jianguo from headquarters called Zhou Zheng and gave the order.

“Alright, I understand.”

As soon as Zhou Zheng, who was driving on the road, received the call, he immediately turned around to find Yang Jian.

He has a sensitivity to the supernatural; once within a certain range, Zhou Zheng can roughly pinpoint Yang Jian’s location.

Meanwhile.

Yang Jian had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of No. 7 Middle School.

At this time, he should be attending classes at school, but he had completely put that thought aside.

At this moment, the school was no longer deserted; it was bustling with students everywhere.

Yang Jian used his ghost eye to glance at his class.

He saw many familiar faces, including Fang Jing, who nearly got him killed before. However, despite all the students being present, he and Wang Shanshan were missing.

Zhang Wei, that guy, was now sleeping on his desk, drooling.

Yang Jian did not enter the school, nor did he return to the classroom. He didn’t even meet up with his old classmates and friends.

Just as he was about to leave again.

Zhou Zheng’s car sped to the school gate and stopped rapidly.

He immediately got out of the car: “Yang Jian, the people from headquarters want to meet you. Additionally, there’s some news about Wang Shanshan’s whereabouts; she was supposed to come to school this morning but suddenly, uncharacteristically, took a taxi and left Dachang City.”

At this, Zhou Zheng paused.

Clearly, to know what happens next, one must go to headquarters; otherwise, Zhou Zheng wouldn’t continue talking.

It’s also possible that Wang Shanshan wasn’t found at all, and they just wanted to trick Yang Jian into going to headquarters.

“Headquarters wants to see me? Who’s handling this? Is it Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang, or did Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua personally get involved?” Yang Jian asked.

“It seems you know quite a bit about headquarters matters. This time it’s Zhao Jianguo who’s in charge. He wants to meet you and hopes you can set a time and place to meet him,” said Zhou Zheng. “But don’t worry, headquarters is still trying their best to find Wang Shanshan. I’m sure there will be results soon.”

Yang Jian said, “Alright then, since headquarters is willing to help me find someone, I don’t mind meeting Zhao Jianguo. Where is he now?”

“He’s at headquarters now. If you agree, he’ll come to Dachang City within two hours,” said Zhou Zheng.

“No need for such trouble. I’ll go find him.”

Yang Jian was planning to go somewhere else to take a look, but he decided to give up on that idea and meet Zhao Jianguo first.

“Please be quick, so I won’t have to come looking for you again,” Zhou Zheng said seriously.

Yang Jian replied, “You should worry more about yourself.”

At that moment, Zhou Zheng tossed over a cellphone: “You can use this phone to contact Zhao Jianguo.”

Yang Jian didn’t take it, allowing the phone to fall to the ground and break.

“I don’t need contact information. I said I would go find Zhao Jianguo.”

After saying that.

He turned around and left.

Zhou Zheng frowned, only able to watch Yang Jian leave, not daring to do anything to this young man.

“Three years ago at headquarters, huh?” Yang Jian’s eyes flickered; his figure gradually blurred and then vanished from the street.

In the next moment.

A stream of light shot across the sky over Dachang City and quickly disappeared.

Inside the Ghost Wielders’ Headquarters.

At this moment, Zhao Jianguo planned to personally visit Dachang City to meet the high school senior, Yang Jian, who suddenly became a ghost wielder.

He was quite interested in this matter.

If he could understand Yang Jian’s experience of becoming a ghost wielder, or even recruit him into headquarters, it would be a good thing.

However, Zhao Jianguo wasn’t someone who would risk it alone; he planned to travel with several ghost wielders from headquarters to avoid any accidents.

“Let’s move quickly. That ghost wielder named Yang Jian won’t stay in Dachang City for long,” said Zhao Jianguo in the small airport inside headquarters, preparing to depart with Cao Yang, Jang Shangbai, and another ghost wielder named Lin Long.

“Does it take so many people to recruit a newcomer? Zhao Jianguo, you’re overdoing it.”

“That’s right. A high school senior, lucky to become a ghost wielder overnight, possessing a Ghost Domain. This kind of person isn’t rare in the nation; there’s no need to be so concerned.”

“I think Zhou Zheng’s report is somewhat exaggerated. No matter how terrifying a ghost handled by a newcomer is, it doesn’t count for much unless they’ve overcome the problem of ghost revival.”

At this moment.

Cao Yang, Jang Shangbai, and the ghost wielder named Lin Long were discussing one after another.

They felt that Zhao Jianguo shouldn’t have dragged them here for such a small matter.

“Let’s go and come back quickly. Thank you all for your efforts this time,” Zhao Jianguo said.

However, just then.

Cao Yang, Jang Shangbai, and the ghost wielder named Lin Long all suddenly stopped in their tracks, their expressions turning grave.

“What’s wrong with you all? Why aren’t you moving…” Zhao Jianguo was initially puzzled, but then he noticed their strange expressions and immediately followed their gaze.

Immediately.

His expression drastically changed.

At this moment, there was actually a person standing on the wing of the airplane he was about to board.

A young man with a pale face, holding a cracked golden spear.

“Yang Jian?” Zhao Jianguo had seen photos and recognized this person.

“Impossible.”

Cao Yang’s eyes suddenly narrowed sharply upon hearing the confirmation of the identity; “Just a few minutes ago, when you received Zhou Zheng’s message, Yang Jian was still in Dachang City. How could he possibly be here now? Over a thousand kilometers, no means of transportation can achieve this, not even using supernatural powers could get him from one place to another in such a short time.”

He was rational and clear-headed.

But precisely because of this, he understood just how terrifying Yang Jian’s sudden appearance was.

Crossing two places within minutes, no one in the current supernatural circle could accomplish this.

Jang Shangbai’s face turned dark, also realizing the incredibility of the situation.

Lin Long’s expression changed unpredictably, contemplating something, but it was clear he was deeply shocked.

“It’s just using the Ghost Domain to travel, nothing to make a fuss over. If you all had the Ghost Domain, you could easily do it too.” Yang Jian glanced over at these people.

They were all ‘acquaintances’.

No need to mention Cao Yang, a future captain, and he had interacted with Jang Shangbai and Lin Long before.

“Using the Ghost Domain to travel?” These words made it even more astonishing.

It’s known that using a supernatural power even once represents getting one step closer to the resurrection of a ghost.

If he used the Ghost Domain to rush from Dachang City to headquarters, he would absolutely die halfway and couldn’t last that long.

“Alright, no need for more nonsense, Zhao Jianguo, my time is limited. Whatever you want to discuss with me, finding Wang Shanshan is the prerequisite. Only after this matter is done, are you qualified to talk about follow-ups.” Yang Jian said coldly.

“Arrogant, daring to speak like this at headquarters.” Jang Shangbai said coldly.

Lin Long added, “Maybe you’re very confident in the supernatural powers you control, but you’re too young. There are more top-notch ghost handlers at headquarters than you can imagine. If you want to negotiate terms, you need the attitude for it. Is your attitude threatening the headquarters?”

Zhao Jianguo didn’t speak, he just frowned slightly.

This suddenly appearing Yang Jian was indeed overbearing, with an attitude that completely disregarded the headquarters.

Such a person is not the kind that is easy to recruit.

“I don’t want to fight with you. I’ve just stated my conditions. If you can do it, we can talk about the next step. If not, then I’ll have to doubt your headquarters’ capabilities.” Yang Jian said.

Jang Shangbai sneered; “Whether headquarters can do it is the headquarters’ issue, not for someone who popped up from nowhere to point fingers.”

If it were elsewhere, he might not dare to argue so confidently with someone named Yang Jian.

But this is the headquarters; he didn’t believe Yang Jian dared to cause trouble here.

So he was very confident internally.

However, the next moment.

“Jang Shangbai, be careful.” Cao Yang seemed to sense something, suddenly turned around, and shouted.

Before Jang Shangbai could react, a charred, cold hand clasped his neck from behind and slowly lifted him up.

And the Yang Jian who was just standing on the wing was now somehow behind Jang Shangbai.

“Impossible.” Jang Shangbai’s eyes widened, his whole body couldn’t move, as if the supernatural power inside him had disappeared and couldn’t be used.

“Dare to make a move? Courting death.” Lin Long said angrily from the side.

“Get lost.” Yang Jian’s ghost eye suddenly opened.

The Ghost Domain spread.

A bright light flashed in front of him, and then Lin Long disappeared from sight.

Cao Yang, who was about to support, was now dumbfounded.

Zhao Jianguo was also stunned on the spot.

In an instant.

Two ghost handlers from the headquarters were easily taken care of, and it seemed like it was still holding back; otherwise, Jang Shangbai’s neck could have been snapped by now.

“You must be clear, I don’t want to cause conflict, I want to resolve some matters peacefully. If push comes to shove, none of the ghost handlers at your headquarters, not a single one, would be my match. Maybe you can have Old Qin come out for a walk; maybe he could handle me.”

Yang Jian said with a cold face.

He was displaying his strength at the moment to gain enough attention, rather than be treated like an ordinary ghost handler.

“Calm down, I know you mean no harm, we can sit down and talk it over slowly.” Zhao Jianguo reacted and quickly spoke.

Meanwhile, Cao Yang, through positioning, had already located Lin Long’s position, he lowered his voice and said, “Lin Long’s signal, who disappeared just now, appeared a hundred kilometers away.”

Zhao Jianguo’s eyes slightly narrowed but quickly calmed down.

“I said, to talk is simple, help me find Wang Shanshan, and then we can talk about the other matters.” Yang Jian finished speaking and casually threw Jang Shangbai aside like garbage.

Jang Shangbai fell to the ground, rolled several times, and finally regained sensation in his body, standing up with a face bruised and swollen.

His face turned a deep shade of black as he glared at Yang Jian.

But the power gap was too big; continuing to fight would only end in suffering.

“Notify Fang Shiming, this person absolutely must not be let go.” Jang Shangbai secretly contacted someone at this moment.

At this time, the social circle still existed, and the leader, Fang Shiming, was still active in the supernatural circle, being one of the top ghost handlers at the moment.

“Give me twenty minutes, I will give you Wang Shanshan’s location.” Zhao Jianguo said at this moment.

Exchanging a person’s whereabouts for the opportunity to talk with Yang Jian is definitely the right decision.

“Alright, I’ll wait for twenty minutes,” Yang Jian nodded.

Soon, Zhao Jianguo started making phone calls, mobilizing the power from the headquarters to track down Wang Shanshan.

Actually, Yang Jian could also use his abilities to find Wang Shanshan, but he felt it was too slow since Wang Shanshan could have gone anywhere after leaving Dachang City.

Even though he had powerful supernatural powers, without enough information, he wouldn’t be able to find anyone.

However, Yang Jian’s wait did not bring good news.

Instead, a chilling strange wind came.

The wind is rising?

Zhao Jianguo and Cao Yang noticed that this wind was somewhat abnormal.

“Fang Shiming, President Fang is here.”

Jang Shangbai said with a straight face, “You’ll pay the price for that attitude earlier. This world is not as simple as you think, just relying on some supernatural powers doesn’t make you invincible.”

Very soon.

The chilling strange wind howled.

A youth in his twenties, wearing casual clothes, arrived with a few ghost tamers from his circle.

His appearance was simple; he just wanted to see who dared to be so bold as to almost take down someone from their circle.

“Can’t you stop wasting my time?” Yang Jian said, his eyes moving slightly, unable to hold back a sigh.

“What do we do now?” Cao Yang asked.

Zhao Jianguo said, “Let’s wait and see, we can’t afford to offend either side. This issue is a conflict between the circle and this Yang Jian, we would only complicate things by getting involved.”

“So you’re the one who almost killed Jang Shangbai?” Fang Shiming looked at Yang Jian coldly.

Yang Jian looked at him, “What a face that makes you annoying. If you go back now, I’ll let you off the hook.”

“Not bad, very confident. Sit down and let’s talk? Maybe there’s a better way to resolve this issue,” Fang Shiming gestured, and a gust of chilling wind blew, and suddenly two chairs appeared on the ground.

“Another Ghost Domain?” Cao Yang, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but shudder.

“There’s nothing to talk about with a bunch of trash like you,” Yang Jian coldly refused.

Fang Shiming’s eyes flickered, he slowly sat down, “Since there’s nothing to talk about and you’re with this attitude, then I’ll have to ask you to die.”

At the instant he sat down.

He sat lower than Yang Jian.

The terrifying supernatural suppression came.

However, Yang Jian stood motionless as if nothing happened, “This corpse lying on me trying to crush me? The confident one is you.”

Then.

A pale green Ghost Flame emerged from Yang Jian.

The Ghost Flame flickered, enveloping him completely.

A chilling, terrifying corpse emerged in the flames, the corpse lying on Yang Jian with immense weight, capable of crushing a person alive.

Yet at this moment, the Ghost Flame burned.

The corpse twisted, opened its mouth, as if in immense pain, finally falling off Yang Jian’s body with a heavy thud to the ground,

“This is impossible,” Fang Shiming’s eyes widened as he abruptly stood up from the table and chairs.

“Nothing is impossible,” Yang Jian said.

In the next moment.

The Ghost Eye glimpsed, and the surroundings instantly changed for everyone, a sea of fire appeared, engulfing everyone.

“Is this Li Jun’s Ghost Flame? No, it doesn’t seem like it.” Cao Yang was shocked once more.

“Pain!”

Soon, intense pain began to appear on each ghost tamer’s body, their skin turned red, and smoke rose from their bodies, as if they were about to ignite at any moment.

Only Zhao Jianguo, being an ordinary person, was unaffected by the Ghost Flame.

“Who are you really? There is no such figure like you in the supernatural circle,” Fang Shiming was both shocked and furious.

For the first time, he felt the disparity.

The gap between himself and this person in front of him was too vast.

Not only did he withstand the supernatural suppression, but when the Ghost Domain covered, his own ghost wind dissipated directly, now this Ghost Flame burns, in the blink of an eye, everyone is under its threat, if he wanted, Fang Shiming had no doubt everyone would be burned alive.

One person against so many ghost tamers, including himself, and with such ease, it’s hard to believe it’s real if not seen with one’s own eyes.

“You’re too verbose, it’s better if you die, besides, I’m suddenly curious, if I change the past here, will it truly create some unforeseeable changes.” Yang Jian looked at his cracked spear in hand.

With a gentle swing.

Instantly.

A crack appeared on Fang Shiming’s neck, then his head slowly rolled down, falling to the ground.
