Wang Family Old Residence
More than half a month later, Richard finally sorted out his gains from the previous period.
Unfortunately, despite all these strange occurrences, none of them can be Restart, not even a single instance can be Restart.
Of course, Richard also felt he was being a bit too greedy. How precious was the ability to Restart the supernatural, and he'd just stumbled upon it so easily?
Although he didn't encounter it this time, he knew there was a supernatural item related to time, and it had nothing to do with Yang Jian, so it wouldn't attract Yang Jian's attention in the future.
That's the Wang Family Old Residence, where time can Restart indefinitely. It's probably where the First Generation of the Wang Family imprisoned Vengeful Ghost for generations.
But it was taken over by a group of outside Ghost Controller a long time ago.
This group of people survived by relying on the power of Restart.
Even if they die, the men will be resurrected in the next Restart.
For Ghost Controller live in constant fear of the Vengeful Ghost Revival, the Wang Family Old Residence is indeed a rare and wonderful place.
Wang Chaling was just an ordinary person. Even though he possessed four Vengeful Ghost from the previous two generations of the Wang family, he dared not take back his ancestral home and could only let outsiders occupy it.
Since others could take it anyway, Richard realized he might as well keep it for himself.
Fortunately, his Six Paths Puppet have now been upgraded and all of them control a number of Vengeful Ghost. When combined, they can all have considerable combat power.
We can take them out and have a go.
So he found Ye Zhen and asked, "I'm planning to visit the Wang Family Old Residence. Would you like to come along?"
Ye Zhen bored. Upon hearing that they could go out and have fun, he pushed aside the documents in front of him and said, "Let's go!"
A-Wu stared at him with a resentful look.
Ye Zhen pretended not to see it.
He was genuinely impatient with dealing with these trivial matters.
Richard seemed to see himself in the early stages of his rise to power. Back then, he was the same way, clearly disliking it but still having to personally handle all sorts of trivial matters, which delayed his cultivation.
There was nothing they could do; by the time he rose to power, the Hegel Family had long since declined and had no foundation left.
He couldn't even find anyone to help with the mundane tasks.
Because his strength was not yet sufficient at that time, and he dared not offend so many divine families and old Saint Domain families in the empire, he could only do things personally, for fear of making mistakes.
This situation only improved after he got married, since his wife came from a noble family and could help him with daily chores. He only needed to make decisions on the most important matters.
Only after another Saint Domain emerged from the family did he finally let go completely and devote himself to cultivation.
Ye Zhen, well, that kid's in for a rough time.
Unless the Ghost Forum produces another powerful figure, at least a captain-level one, he won't be able to let go of these matters.
A-Wu could only help him with minor matters. As for other things, especially when it involved other Ghost Controller organizations, they wouldn't give A-Wu any face.
Ghost Controller are often arrogant, and even with Ye Zhen's reputation as Asia's number one Ghost Controller, they can't be subdued. Otherwise, the Ghost Controller at Headquarters wouldn't have been so defiant towards Ye Zhen last time.
He was already struggling on the brink of life and death, so his mental state was somewhat unstable.
To win them over, it's simple: let strength speak for itself. A-Wu isn't strong enough, so only Ye Zhen personally can keep things in check.
It was a day later when Ye Zhen finished arranging things for the Ghost Forum and set off with Richard.
The two didn't linger and went straight to Dadong City.
Soon, the two who had transformed into rainbows arrived in Dadong City.
Meanwhile, Wang Chaling, the person in charge of Dadong City, had already received the message from Headquarters and was waiting for the two of them.
In fact, the two were observed by intelligence personnel in various places shortly after their takeoff.
As a key target of Headquarters' observation, Ye Zhen's movements are certainly being closely monitored.
After guessing the two's destination, Headquarters notified Wang Chaling.
Wang Chaling has always kept a low profile, and even Headquarters doesn't know the full extent of his abilities.
They didn't even know that he wasn't Ghost Controller at all, but just an ordinary person.
He can manipulate Supernatural Ability through his bloodline.
The First Generation of the Wang Family were also top-tier Ghost Controller during the Republic Era era. Although it's unknown whether they reached the level of the Seven Elders, they were definitely not simple characters.
He used a special curse to give the Wang Family Bloodline Supernatural Ability, so that even when members of the Wang family die and become ghosts, they will not go out of control, but can be driven by the descendants of the Wang family.
Therefore, although Wang Chaling is not Ghost Controller, he can command the strange creatures that his grandparents, parents and other relatives transformed into after their deaths.
It's only because this guy values his life that he's not afraid of death; otherwise, with just those two from the First Generation of the Wang Family, he would already be a captain-level figure.
But his fear of death wasn't entirely wrong. The Supernatural Ability of this world were indeed too strange and bizarre, and he himself was just an ordinary person, extremely vulnerable. Without protection, any supernatural event could easily kill him.
In this situation, he would need to carry at least two ghosts with him to be safe.
He had previously sent his father, who had transformed into a ghost, to investigate the old house, but the ghost got stuck inside and couldn't get out.
This created an awkward situation: he still had three ghosts with him, but he dared not send any more to the old house.
Because he can only command one ghost at a time, while ensuring his own safety. If that ghost gets trapped in the old house, he'll truly be without any ghosts to use.
He could only watch helplessly as a group of outsiders, Ghost Controller, occupied his old house and lorded it over him.
In the original storyline, this group even sent people to Dachang City to cause trouble for Yang Jian.
"Ye Zhen? What brings you to Dadong City?" Wang Chaling asked.
Generally speaking, these officials do not like other Ghost Controller coming to the cities under their jurisdiction.
Ghost Controller are inherently unstable, and once Vengeful Ghost Revival, it becomes a paranormal event that needs to be dealt with.
This is increasing the workload for those in charge.
"Nothing else, I just wanted to visit your Wang Family Old Residence." Ye Zhen didn't hide anything.
In this Dadong City, they couldn't possibly hide it from Wang Chaling; he would find out sooner or later anyway.
"My old family home?" Wang Chaling remained calm, but a question arose in his mind.
These people really don't take him seriously. That's his old family home, you know. These people just come and go as they please, without any courtesy whatsoever.
"Since your old house has already been occupied by others, you might as well let us in. Maybe we'll even help you drive them away," Ye Zhen said.
"You even know this?" Wang Chaling was speechless. They'd really investigated thoroughly. He wondered if Ye Zhen's arrival was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
"We know even more, like your father is lost in the old house and hasn't come out yet. If we go in, we can help you look for him, and if we find him, we'll bring him out," Richard said casually.
Wang Chaling's pupils contracted. He knew about such a secret?
But they quickly realized that this was not something that could be investigated through intelligence.
Some kind of Supernatural Ability? He wondered to himself.
He then gave the two of them a deep look and said, "Alright, I agree to let you in. Do you need me to show you around?"
"Alright, let's go." Even if they didn't agree, Wang Chaling would still go with them. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he watched them go inside.
