The moment he lit the white ghost candle and saw the five people in the distance turn expressionlessly to look his way, Yang Jian broke out in a cold sweat despite all the incidents he had experienced.
Fortunately, he had extinguished the ghost candle quickly enough and had not drawn the real ghosts over.
Otherwise, he might have faced attacks from five unknown ghosts at once.
That level of danger would have been fatal.
"How could this happen?" After the narrow escape, Yang Jian's expression shifted constantly, his heart full of shock.
There was no doubt that those five people should have been Ghost Tamers involved in this operation. Though he did not know all of them, most looked familiar.
But now, all five Ghost Tamers had become ghosts.
Had the operation failed, causing them to die from ghostly revival, or had some other unforeseen change occurred?
"It's impossible that all five died from ghostly revival. This operation must have been meticulously planned. Even if there weren't many people involved, Headquarters would certainly have prepared contingency plans for a safe retreat. The odds of everyone being wiped out should be extremely low."
"Even if they encountered terrifying danger inside the Ghost Domain, at most one or two people would die. They wouldn't all be wiped out."
Yang Jian's gaze flickered. He quickly calmed down and assessed the situation based on what he knew.
"Besides, there hasn't been any emergency contact from Headquarters. That means Headquarters doesn't know these five have appeared here."

Not a single emergency message had come through, indicating that this operation did not require support.
In an instant, he considered many possibilities, yet the doubts in his heart did not lessen in the slightest. Yang Jian could only vaguely conclude
