Maybe there was an intention to help himself and the others, but it wasn’t without plans to harm them as well.
Fortunately, Yang Jian’s earlier move to release the Headless Ghost Shadow had turned the tide.
Otherwise, they would have certainly been doomed.
The man in the portrait before them could render the powers of three ghosts ineffective, and now that the number was satisfied, Feng Quan could take it on.
He had been waiting for this opportunity all along.
This opportunity to take control of the situation.
“You’ve outsmarted me, and I’ll admit my bad luck, but we’ve already finished taking the lead,” Yang Jian said, no longer willing to risk his life and instead retreated to the back.
He moved next to the coffin.
If Feng Quan failed, he would immediately enter this Ghost Coffin.
Although he didn’t know what purpose this coffin served,
if Feng Quan entered and wasn’t killed by a ghost, then he would be safe too.
So, Yang Jian unapologetically secured his escape first.
“…”
Feng Quan, in the mist, couldn’t help frowning deeply at this action.
This guy was cleverer than he had imagined.
Had he already guessed some of the uses of the Ghost Coffin?
“You don’t need to look at me; it’s your turn to perform. Of course, if you find my strategy improper, you can try to kill me. I’ve lost the power of the vengeful ghost and am now just an ordinary person… But if I die, the vengeful ghost revives, the balance is broken, can you handle it?” Yang Jian said with a taunting smile.
He was ready to push open the lid and lie inside at any moment.
Feng Quan wanted to quietly reap the benefits, but Yang Jian was not going to be polite and instead planned a preemptive strike.
Zhang Han had been completely restrained and couldn’t move; he now lay on the ground, struggling and wailing in pain.
Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain and the Headless Ghost Shadow were also suppressed, but he had found a way to survive and escape.
Now, the only one who could face the ghost head-on was Feng Quan.
Help?
Out of the question.
Feng Quan seemed to understand that Yang Jian was not going to help anymore; he had to confront the ghost on his own.
Without delay,
the mist around his body began to disperse, and then slowly started to fill the spirit hall.
A layer of dusky mist arose in the spirit hall.
It was like a heavy shroud of gloom.
All visibility was obstructed, and Feng Quan’s figure completely disappeared.
On the spot,
Yang Jian could only vaguely see the man in the portrait standing there.
But as the mist thickened,
the man in the portrait was gradually swallowed up too.
It became so dark around them that you could not see your hand in front of your face.
“This mist… it’s somewhat like the Ghost Domain,”
Yang Jian said, surrounded by it, not feeling harmed by the mist, but rather a sense of being lost.
Even inside the building, it was as if he would get lost.
“I can’t see anything around me; who knows if that ghost will appear next to me? If Feng Quan uses it to set me up, that would be bad.”
“I must be cautious at this time.”
Yang Jian kept his palm on the Ghost Coffin to ensure he would not get lost.
“Try lying inside. The outcome of Feng Quan’s struggle with this ghost doesn’t concern me, but I can’t afford to die here cluelessly.”
With that thought,
he immediately pushed open the coffin lid and climbed inside.
Without a moment’s hesitation.
