Mysterious Revival-Chapter 1125 - 1091 Learning and Growth

Even though Yang Jian previously used the Ghost Domain to alter the terrain and used a portion of the supernatural power from Ghost Lake that he had stolen to prevent its supernatural spread, it was merely a temporary solution.

The spread of Ghost Lake was halted but came at a price.

The price was that the fierce ghosts previously submerged in Ghost Lake through the black boat were now escaping.

Fierce ghosts that even Ghost Lake cannot confine have unimaginable levels of danger.

The only salvation is that the freed fierce ghosts are just a very small portion of Ghost Lake; most of the supernatural phenomena remain submerged within Ghost Lake.

But the danger must be dealt with.

Otherwise, once the issue with Ghost Lake is resolved, terrifying fierce ghosts will continuously wander near Zhongzhou City, turning the area into a truly desperate place.

Splish!

A splash sounded from the lakeshore in the distance.

The fierce ghost that had sunk in Ghost Lake has come ashore.

The lake water cannot imprison it, and the Ghost General roams freely.

This escaping fierce ghost is also completely drenched, like a drowned person, but its clothing is peculiar, not the attire of this era, instead it wears an old-fashioned Chinese robe, now only worn by people performing crosstalk.

The wide sleeves hung empty, it's unclear if there were arms inside.

Long, wet hair scattered, covering the entire head, obscuring its features, making it impossible to distinguish gender.

The fierce ghost did not stray far, pacing back and forth along the lakeside.

Aimless as if it was a mentally deranged patient at first glance.

But it's not a patient, rather a terrifying fierce ghost that has been unchanged for decades while soaking in lake water.

The reason it wanders aimlessly is that no one is around, with no one to trigger the ghost's killing instincts, so it has no target, and the horror has not surfaced.

Not only that.

Elsewhere, bubbles frothed on the lake surface, as the surrounding water became turbid, a body floated up, the body was peculiar, tightly bound by a chain of black iron, but it did not remain still, twitching slightly, struggling to break free.

The iron chain clattered, gradually being thrown off.

An eerie figure covered in mud, dirty and foul-smelling, slowly crawled onto the shore. Once ashore, the figure of the fierce ghost swiftly disappeared, seemingly hiding quickly.

Other incomprehensible supernatural phenomena also emerged.

These could be seen with the naked eye.

And some unseen as well. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Yang Jian himself could not confirm how many terrifying fierce ghosts had escaped while retrieving Leuk San and Li Jun from Ghost Lake.

"What's the situation now?"

Li Jun had recovered, his face stiff and numb, with Ghost Flame flickering in his hollow eye sockets, observing everything around him.

"The Ghost Lake is out of control, fully invading reality, uncontainable, while the fierce ghosts imprisoned in Ghost Lake are escaping," Feng Quan quickly summarized what he observed.

"The situation isn't too severe, as long as it's handled well afterwards, there will be no problem," Li Jun said, then looked at Cao Yang.

"Once Cao Yang is rescued, we will have the numerical advantage, and by joining forces, we can handle any fierce ghost."

He wasn't boasting, but this time they unknowingly gathered many captain-level figures.

Yang Jian, Leuk San, Cao Yang, Li Jun, and the mysteriously disappeared Shen Lin.

A total of five captains, plus Feng Quan and Ah Hong, two top-tier ghost handlers, in such a scenario, if they still can't manage it, no team in the world could handle the current situation.

However, Yang Jian said, "It's not that simple; the fierce ghosts capable of escaping Ghost Lake are extremely terrifying, and if careless, a captain could end up dead, don't forget how Shen Lin disappeared. He hasn't appeared to this moment, it's likely hard for him to return."

"The people of Taiping Town are both foes and friends, while the ancient town conceals too many secrets, but the only good news is that it was submerged by Ghost Lake."

After saying this, he glanced again at the black boat and the ancient town swallowed by the lake in the distance.

"He just saved Ah Hong, so he shouldn't be an enemy," Cao Yang glanced at the Faceless Person standing nearby motionlessly.

"I hope so too, but three people remain from Taiping Town, each is not simple, had the situation not been reversed by the Evil Hound biting one to death, you probably wouldn't fare well, I can't determine the stance of the remaining two, especially the one-eyed old man in charge," Yang Jian said.

The Faceless Person didn't respond, just quietly standing on the boat without any action, seemingly neither fearing a sudden attack by Yang Jian and others nor thinking they could kill him.

Since his attitude was rather amicable, Yang Jian naturally did not fear him too much.

However, as they were discussing.

Suddenly.

Waves surged near the black boat, something seemed to be happening underwater, but before they could ponder further, someone burst from the water. The one-eyed old man, soaked and disheveled, emerged, grabbing the black boat, then flipping heavily into the cabin.

"Hmm?"

This scene immediately grabbed Yang Jian's attention.

"Incredible, he actually swam up by himself after jumping into the lake," Cao Yang's face changed abruptly seeing this.

"After we submerged, we couldn't move, though the pressure from Ghost Lake seems weaker now than before, a ghost handler swimming up is almost impossible, this lake can submerge anything," Leuk San showed a puzzled expression.

"That robe is very special, it didn't even seem to get so wet, the water stains on him quickly drained away," Yang Jian noticed this detail using his ghostly eyes.

Li Jun then said, "Not only that, he is holding a female corpse in his other hand."

"Whether the female corpse entangled him or he retrieved it from the lake for debate," Yang Jian remarked.

On the black boat.

Boss Liu hurriedly helped the one-eyed elder up: "What's the situation now, was it a success or a failure?"

"The corpse has been retrieved, but reviving her is still difficult. I need to return to the ancestral hall; only then can she be brought back to life." The one-eyed elder was expressionless, merely glancing at the female corpse beside him.

The female corpse appeared to be around her twenties, quite young, but her body seemed to be filled with an unknown amount of lake water, continuously leaking large amounts of moisture as she just lay there.

"The ancestral hall is now submerged." Boss Liu said.

"As long as the items are still there, it will be fine." The one-eyed elder stood up but almost stumbled again as if he was affected by something.

However, the moisture on the one-eyed elder's body had already disappeared; only his clothes had changed, transforming into a woman's jacket covered with bizarre, supernatural patterns.

Without this piece of clothing, he couldn't have swum up from the lake's bottom.

"Let's go; there's nothing more for us here. If we don't leave now, we might really die at the hands of these young ones. Besides, their people have arrived, and I believe they can handle the situation here. If they can't, staying means death for us too."

The one-eyed elder coughed again, spitting out a mouthful of silt mixed with lake water.

Boss Liu nodded: "We shouldn't have come this time. Not getting involved in this matter might have saved at least one life."

After saying this.

The black boat swayed once more, carrying them slowly away.

"They're leaving? That old bastard nearly killed me; I can't let him just walk away." Leuk San took a few quick steps forward, ready to take action.

"Enough." Yang Jian reached out to stop him.

Leuk San paused: "You must have dealt with them before; letting them go could be a future threat. Eliminate them now to prevent endless trouble later."

"If you want to kill them, do it after this is over. There's no point in acting now, and we might lose a few people fighting them," Yang Jian said.

"Together, we could take him down in a few seconds." Leuk San was adamant, still trying to persuade Yang Jian to act.

Because the black boat was drifting farther and becoming increasingly blurred, it seemed ready to disappear on the lake surface.

"It might've been seconds before, but not now. The one-eyed elder has an extra piece of clothing now, and he can swim up from Ghost Lake. If we really fight, do you think we'll only face him? Do you want to force the other two to change sides and fight us?" Yang Jian reminded once more.

Cao Yang said, "Yang Jian is right, Leuk San. If others choose to leave, it implies they don't want more conflict. Moreover, they saved Ah Hong and even gifted us such a big boat, giving us a foothold in Ghost Lake. Plus, they lost someone, too—the situation is settled."

"If there are personal grudges, settle them later, not now."

He supported Yang Jian's approach.

Though Yang Jian was impulsive and quick to act, he wasn't brainless. At this critical moment, sparing the trouble would be better, allowing these people to leave would save us from guarding against them later.

So their departure is a good thing.

If action must be taken, wait until after the Ghost Lake affair ends to find an opportunity, not messing about now.

Leuk San just wanted to speak when his gaze suddenly tightened, turning toward Zhongzhou City's direction behind him.

"It's appeared."

Cao Yang and Li Jun also sensed something, immediately looking over.

Zhongzhou City was already submerged, yet many high-rise buildings still protruded over the water, but among these, appearing at unknown times, were female corpses, disheveled, all with eerie smiles.

These female corpses appeared before windows, continuously walking from deep within the buildings, with their numbers steadily increasing.

No, they had been increasing all along, just previously unnoticed.

In mere moments, every exposed building in Zhongzhou City had traces of these female corpses.

"This hadn't happened before; why suddenly now?" Cao Yang was most surprised.

Because he had dealt with Ghost Lake before.

Yang Jian frowned, proposing a theory: "I'm afraid Leuk San's ability was stolen by the ghost in Ghost Lake. A similar incident occurred with Shen Lin before... He was eroded by the ghost, taken over, then the ghost infiltrated my memories trying to kill me, but it failed."

Leuk San stiffened, his face, already grim, turned even grimmer: "No, it's not stolen. Paper figures are crafted through supernatural means, so they need materials even after being stolen."

"It's not theft, but the difference is minimal. This ghost has a way to acquire others' supernatural powers."

Yang Jian added, "Moreover, did you notice these female corpses wear clothes now?"

Clothes?

"The female corpses wore clothes before." Li Jun said.

Cao Yang said, "Those victims who died in Ghost Lake were not the spirits in Ghost Domain. When the ghost appeared, it resembled a female corpse, but without clothes. It's different now; all female corpses have clothes, the same style, very much like that elder's jacket."

"It learned quantity from Leuk San, learned clothing from that elder. Is that the idea?" Li Jun understood now.

Leuk San said, "Yang Jian, you were attacked too, why weren't your powers stolen?"

"I first seized Ghost Lake's supernatural power; perhaps that's one reason I wasn't affected," Yang Jian replied.

"Cao Yang was previously in Ghost Lake too; he seemed fine."

Cao Yang replied, "To be honest, I wasn't directly attacked by the ghost. I accidentally fell into Ghost Lake after discovering the ghost's killing pattern."

"..." Leuk San was speechless.

So just bad luck for me?
