The situation on Li Junâs side is unknown to the other captains because everyone has their own matters to attend to and canât constantly pay attention to others.
Moreover, Li Jun didnât send out any help requests in time.
In the supernatural circle, encounters are extremely brief. If it comes to a desperate fight, victory or defeat can definitely be determined within a minute. This means that even if support arrives quickly, by the time they get there, the battle is already over, and all they can do is clean up afterward without providing timely aid.
This is the case not only for Li Jun but also for the previously hunted Manor Lord; everyone is in a similar situation.
Meanwhile.
Yang Jian appeared in a small city, his ghost-eye subtly turning as he stared at a man in front of him, covered in cold sweat.
âYang, Yang Jian, do you believe me if I say Iâm not part of the King Organization?â
The manâs face was filled with horror. No one would have thought that a low-profile ghost handler hiding in a small city would be targeted by the famous Ghost-eye Yang Jian of the supernatural circle.
âI know that the headquarters and the King Organization of the supernatural circle are at war now, but I really havenât joined the King Organization. Iâm just hiding here to live a few more years, not wanting to get involved in the supernatural circle. If you donât believe what Iâm saying, thereâs nothing I can do.â
He could only explain brazenly, without thinking about escaping or resisting, because any action was futile at this moment.
Yang Jian looked at him for a moment, said nothing, and just turned to leave, not making a move against this ghost handler.
Seeing Yang Jian leave, the man heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just walked back from the edge of death.
Itâs only when you face Yang Jian directly that you can feel how terrifying this person is.
The oppression from the supernatural could arouse inner despair, like facing an Unsolvable Level fierce ghost.
Yang Jian was not just cleaning up the members of the King Organization but also identifying those ghost handlers who hadnât joined the King Organization. He didnât want to deal with them entirely because he thought these people might join the headquarters in the future.
If he indiscriminately took out everyone, it would likely push the civilian ghost handlers towards the King Organization when the news spreads.
âIt seems Iâm rather unlucky; Iâm only catching some small fry, not encountering any of the opponentâs king-level ghost handlers. The one who killed Ma Jun earlier might have been a King, but I lost track of them. Theyâve already left Dafu City and gone somewhere unknown.â
He pondered, hoping to have some gains today, but also worried that other captains might run into a King and be unable to handle the situation, leading to casualties.
âI canât worry about all that. Everyone has their own matters to take care of. First, take care of my business; after all, I havenât received any help requests yet.â
Yang Jian then shook his head, put aside the unnecessary thoughts, and headed to the next city.
Actually, tonight the King Organization deployed many people to attack the leaders of various cities; several Kings even participated, aiming to clear out the majority of the leaders before the Ghost Ship landed. If they succeed, they can make up for previous losses.
At the same time, itâs also a retaliatory method against Yang Jianâs previous hunt for the Manor Lord.
The idea sounds good, but the captains already gathered in Dadong City during the day, and now theyâre moving in several teams, increasing the chances of encountering people from the King Organization.
Meanwhile.
Over Daâao City, at some point, gray-white paper ash began swirling everywhere, filling every corner of the city as if it would never end.
Some were curious, others shocked.
However, the reaction of ordinary people seemed insignificant at this moment.
âDaâao City has a problem. Go to the safe house.â At this moment, in a certain skyscraper, a man in his thirties wearing a suit heard the report about the situation outside and instantly changed his expression. He hurriedly stood up, packed his things, and prepared to leave.
His name is He Long.
He runs numerous entertainment venues in Daâao City and is a prominent top-tier wealthy man.
As an ordinary person, He Long has encountered quite a few supernatural events. His first reaction to this kind of supernatural phenomenon in the city was to hide in the safe house.
Bodyguards protected his departure.
However, just as He Long stepped out of his office, all the lights in the corridor flickered a few times, then all went out. The surrounding light immediately dimmed.
He Longâs heart tightened. He held his breath and signaled everyone not to move.
As this phenomenon likely indicated the presence of a fierce ghost lurking nearby.
The best way for ordinary people to survive is to stay where they are, do nothing, and pray that the ghost is just passing by and hasnât targeted you.
This method was told to He Long by someone from the supernatural circle, and he always remembered it.
Yet the next moment, what horrified He Long and his bodyguards was.
Under a flickering light in the corridor stood a bizarre woman, dressed in a red bridal gown, with a red veil on her head, resembling a new bride on her wedding day. This woman stood frozen in place, her red gown so vivid it seemed to emit a faint red glow.
In any light, this scene was anything but normal.
Was it a ghost?
He Long swallowed hard, feeling his breath halt at this moment, his body seemingly losing all sensation, making it difficult to even move, let alone escape.
His bodyguards were in the same state; some had weaker mental fortitude and immediately collapsed to the floor.
âYour courage is smaller than I expected.â At that moment, a familiar voice sounded, seemingly coming from the mysterious woman in the red bridal gown.
âHe, He Yuelian? Little, little sister?â
Upon hearing this voice, He Long seemed to snap back to reality. He stuttered, more filled with disbelief.
He remembered that He Yuelian had already gone to Dachang City to find that Yang Jian. Although they had been in contact once or twice, it was likely that He Yuelian would never return to Daâao City again.
âItâs me.â He Yuelian admitted openly without hiding.
âIs it really you, little sister? How did you become like this?â He Long was surprised and uneasy because he worried that He Yuelian came back for revenge.
The relationship between him and her was not friendly before.
He Yuelian said, âThis is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Youâre not part of the supernatural circle, knowing too much wonât do you any good. I came back just to deal with a few people. As for you, this is just a courtesy visit. I have to leave now.â
She realized that seeing He Long again quelled many of her previous thoughts.
Because now she was a top-tier ghost tamer, while He Long was just a normal person.
The stark difference in status allowed He Yuelian to let go of many past grievances.
As the flickering lights shimmered, she disappeared.
Seeing He Yuelian leave, He Long finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart relaxed.
If He Yuelian really wanted to kill him, he would have no ability to resist.
He Long was secretly glad that he hadnât burned all bridges in the past, leaving a way out. Otherwise, his little sister might have acted to finish him off today.
âWait a minute, she just said she came back to deal with a few people? Are there other ghost tamers in Daâao City?â
His expression changed again; âDonât hesitate, leave quickly, go to the safe house, itâs not safe here. That person earlier was my sister, He Yuelian, and she came to warn me about the danger here. Also, keep todayâs events confidential, keep it to yourselves. If you dare to spill the beans, donât blame me, He Long, for not being merciful.â
Then He Long hurriedly left the place as if fleeing, deciding to leave the center of Daâao City and hide in a more remote area.
After disappearing, He Yuelian did not leave Daâao City; she appeared in another part of the city.
At this moment, a few people with strange auras stopped abruptly, staring intently at the suddenly appearing He Yuelian.
They were ghost tamers from the King Organization, coming to Daâao City to see if there was a new leader appointed in this city, if there was, they would conveniently get rid of them.
Unexpectedly, just as they finished their investigation and were preparing to leave, they encountered this situation.
âWho are you?â A man asked in a low voice.
He had never seen He Yuelian and knew nothing about her, but he was sure of one thing: the woman in front of him was a ghost tamer, and a fierce one at that.
âI am the leader of Daâao City.â He Yuelian slowly said.
She wasnât lying, because Yang Jian had promised earlier that as long as she joined the headquarters, she would become the leader.
Now, it was He Yuelianâs first day on the job.
The other few looked at each other and immediately acted without hesitation.
But they misunderstood one thing; He Yuelian was not only the leader, she was also a Captain of the Headquarters and had the complete supernatural power of a ghost painting.
In just ten seconds.
A peculiar oil painting lay quietly on the road.
The painting depicted a few people with terrified and despairing expressions, and the background was the street they had just been on.
âGhost tamers arenât that hard to kill,â He Yuelian turned and left, and the oil painting on the ground disappeared.
She felt that the ghost tamers, who used to instill fear in ordinary people, seemed quite fragile and disappeared with just a light touch.
Though He Yuelian hadnât fully grasped how terrifying the supernatural power she wielded was.
But as she gradually began to engage with ghost tamers, He Yuelian was believed to soon find her place; at that time she would understand that she was already at the top of the supernatural hierarchy, with few ghost tamers worldwide capturing her attention.
He Yuelian wiped out a team without trouble, while other Captains were not idle either.
Wang Chaling and Lu Zhiwen teamed up, searching along the way. They were lucky, having killed more than a dozen ghost tamers from the King Organization, some of whom seemed to be core members with decent strength.
But facing a team of two Captains, unless a King led them, they would be wiped out instantly, with no other possibility.
âYang Jianâs counterattack this time was very timely. Otherwise, the leaders of these cities would have been wiped out overnight, causing a lot of trouble,â Wang Chaling said while standing in front of a building, talking to Lu Zhiwen.
While inside the building, miserable cries echoed.
Two terrifying old people wandered inside, attacking every ghost tamer.
Wang Chaling didnât need to lift a finger, only needed to stand there and give an order, and his grandparents would get everything done for him.
âWith such a large action on their part, surely a few Kings are involved. Otherwise, so many ghost tamers cannot be controlled; find a King and take them out, and tonightâs victory will be complete,â Lu Zhiwen said calmly.
Wang Chaling replied, âThe other side wouldnât engage with us in a prolonged battle; even if they encountered us, they would flee. Itâs not the time for the Captain and the King to engage yet; they have a big advantage and wouldnât come down to fight us to the death.â
âThatâs why we need to intercept them,â Lu Zhiwen said.
âTrue, letâs give it a try,â
Hearing the screams inside the building cease, Wang Chaling knew that it was about time to clean up there, and after handling the aftermath, he prepared to head to the next place.
