Tracking down the source and uncovering whoever was behind it was merely a side matter.
For Yang Jian, the most urgent matter was finding a way to survive and avoid dying from a ghost's revival.
Yet even as he pressured Hao Shaowen, he did not immediately begin questioning him.
Only after these people understood how terrifying Ghost Tamers were would they yield and willingly reveal what he wanted to know.
A way to avoid a ghost's revival?
Hao Shaowen froze at the question, then suddenly laughed. "There is such a method. At first, no one knew which country it had come from. It was said to have been an accident. Perhaps a certain Ghost Tamer had received heaven's favor and luckily survived for a full year without dying from a ghost's revival."
Survived for a year?
Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly. He was intrigued.
How long a Ghost Tamer could live depended on how quickly the ghost inside their body revived. But even if a Ghost Tamer never used their ghost's abilities, Yang Jian estimated that they would not survive longer than half a year.
If they used their abilities frequently, the ghost's revival would accelerate, shortening the Ghost Tamer's lifespan.
But a Ghost Tamer who had lived for over a year...
Without question, that was a miracle.
"What exactly is the method?" Yang Jian asked, staring at him.
"You won't want to know."
Hao Shaowen teased, "That was an exceptional case, perhaps one exception among a thousand Ghost Tamers. That method is practically unworkable. People like you are destined not to live long. After all, you should have died long ago. It's the ghost in your bodies that has kept you alive."
"Whether it's workable is not up to you. It's up to me. You have twenty seconds left."
