The King Organization's preacher had originally planned to gather five kings and three squads to kill Cao Yang, Li Lepeng, and Lin Bei before their reinforcements arrived, just as Yang Jian had previously attacked the manor owner with He Yuelian. Who could have expected that the three captains were still alive when the enemy reinforcements arrived?
And it was the person they least wanted to see.
Yang Jian had merely surfaced from the standing water, yet ghost fire had already ignited all around them. The grim firelight fell across everyone, bringing a burning pain that even Ghost Tamers could feel. The heat continued to intensify, and if they stayed here much longer, they genuinely might be set ablaze.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I made a round of Dadong City and couldn't find a single king-level Ghost Tamer. You were all here. What a surprise. I thought this was a fake deal, but the King Organization actually meant it. You wanted to eliminate three of our captains in one go. Quite ambitious. Unfortunately, your abilities fell a little short, and your plan failed."
No one stopped Yang Jian's arrival, because no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.
After he had successfully hunted down the manor owner, everyone in the King Organization had become deeply wary of him.
Therefore, Yang Jian's appearance meant that the preacher's operation had completely failed. Not only had their operation to hunt down the people in charge gone badly, but they would suffer a setback here as well.
The atmosphere became rather grave. Everyone temporarily stopped fighting.
"This is troublesome. A dangerous one has arrived. Five kings against four captains—there's barely any advantage in that. If we really fight to the end, it's hard to say who will win.
