Chapter 481: 478
Wang Xiaoming and his group were unaware that the person coming to their aid was Yang Jian, and they could not have imagined that Yang Jian was now in the midst of counter-invading the Ghost Domain.
If he were to succeed in his invasion, it would mean that Yang Jian could easily escape the next time he faced the Ghost Coffin, or at the very least, he would not be in mortal danger. It was a trial, a very necessary one, as he also wanted to confirm what would happen if his own Ghost Domain kept stacking up, what it would eventually become.
Would he be able to discover the source of the supernatural events, would he be able to uncover the truth behind his doubts?
But the terror in the darkness continued to unfold.
Because the ghost known as the Ghost Envoy was in this darkness.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoming, Tong Qian, Li Jun, Feng Quan, and the others had bravely endured numerous supernatural assaults and were now close to the vicinity of the Ghost Coffin.
In front of them, a human silhouette was hidden in the darkness, standing still like a corpse, facing them. Beneath that human outline was an object shaped like a coffin, seemingly fused together with it, creating an especially eerie and unsettling sight.
As the group drew nearer, the ghost in front seemed to have no reaction at all, as if it lost its ability to move, posing no threat whatsoever.
But such naive thinking was obviously impossible,
This ghost was not immobile, although it remained stationary for most of the time, its posture changed every so often.
When Wang Xiaoming first lured the ghost into the Ghost Coffin, it was lying inside the coffin, with a black coffin lid formed by the Ghost Domain pressing down on top of it.
After that, the coffin lid disappeared, turning back into a Ghost Domain that began to erode everything around it.
The ghost was no longer lying down, but had sat up as if raised from the dead, half of its body exposed outside of the coffin lid, stiff and straight, its head not facing Wang Xiaoming and the others, but the front of the coffin.

By now… the ghost sitting in the coffin had stood up and was now facing them.
It, as if waiting for the rest to draw closer.
“It’s just ahead, about eight meters away.”
Wang Xiaoming’s voice remained calm, facing such a supernatural phenomenon as an ordinary person, he showed no sign of shrinking back in fear.
The others also saw the silhouette in the darkness, looking extremely solemn.
The true source of terror was right here; to retrieve the Ghost Coffin, they must make direct contact with such a ghost, or else they could only watch helplessly as it fully revived.
“I’ll take the lead,” Li Jun said solemnly at this moment. “I’ll deal with that ghost and get it out of the Ghost Coffin, Feng Quan, you’re responsible for retrieving it, Tong Qian, you and the others help me withstand the ghost attacks. If I die, you all take Professor Wang and withdraw.”
Not much was said, but it was simple and clear.
There was no need for further explanation; if even he were to fall, it would mean that the ghost had become unmanageable, and no one else should think about retrieving the Ghost Coffin. It would be good enough if they could just save themselves and escape.
“Can you withstand it?”
Feng Quan took a look: “Things could go badly, and you could die. According to Yang Jian’s analysis, this thing should still be able to suppress the power of six ghosts. At least three people who have mastered two ghosts each would be needed to avoid being attacked. Why not go together, we can just die here together.”
“The risk is too high, I refuse,” Li Jun said; “We can’t stake everyone’s lives on one chance.”
“Wait a minute,” suddenly, Wang Xiaoming stopped walking and signaled everyone else to halt.
“What’s wrong?” someone asked.
Wang Xiaoming frowned: “Something’s not right. From the moment we got close to the Ghost Coffin until now, we haven’t suffered a single supernatural attack, the previously revived supernatural beings have disappeared.”
“Don’t feel that, we just withstood an attack,” Feng Quan said, amazed.
“How can you not feel it? According to the frequency of the previous attacks, this time it’s been at least five seconds without one attacking us, you guys really didn’t notice such a big change?” Wang Xiaoming said.
Five seconds?
Who has the mind to count that?
This thought crossed everyone’s mind.
“Act now, all together,” suddenly, Wang Xiaoming uttered this sentence.
Huh?
Wasn’t it Li Jun taking the lead?
Everyone was again puzzled.
However, before they could finish their thoughts, one of the ghost tamers next to them suddenly cried out in horror, apparently seized by something and then suddenly fell to the ground, a terrible force dragging him rapidly towards the ghost’s location.
“Be careful,” Feng Quan exclaimed, reaching out to grab him in a hurry.
But he had hardly touched the person before his grip slipped.
Tong Qian also reacted, and as she turned her face, she saw a ghost face that wanted to cry like that of a peaceful dead person, but the ghost face moved, and it couldn’t seem to cry anymore.
Was it suppressed?
This idea popped into Tong Qian’s mind.
This inescapable ability to suppress ghost tamers was not something they had encountered for the first time. They had felt it during previous encounters, an inescapable eerie power, which was why they had chosen to act as a team. This way, if one person’s abilities got suppressed, the others could compensate.
It was because of this that they had been able to walk back and forth twice in this terrifying Ghost Domain without incident.
The rescue attempt by the two people failed, and Li Jun’s Ghost Domain extended over the attacked ghost tamer, attempting to bring him back with the Ghost Domain.
However, the Ghost Domain had covered him, but the rescue failed.
The person cried out in horror, then disappeared into the darkness, and it was vaguely visible that the companion had just struggled and fallen into the Ghost Coffin.
