A huge black shadow appeared on the wall at the rear hall, like an abyss that nearly swallowed Yang Xiaohua whole.
But then—
The red balloon wrapped around her arm and slowly lifted her into the air, keeping her from falling into that abyss and temporarily pulling her out of danger.
That darkness was not a vicious ghost, but a Ghost Domain.
The Ghost Domain shrouding the old residence had now invaded the rear hall and begun affecting the surrounding environment. Under these circumstances, no anomaly appearing nearby would have been surprising.
"If you don't want to die for no reason, get close to this coffin," Yang Jian warned the others.
The ground around the Red Coffin was pitch-black.

However, the ghost shadow could only cover a limited area in this environment, so he had merely shrouded the vicinity of the Red Coffin and ignored everywhere else.

Yang Jian severed the thin string of the red balloon with his hatchet.
Yang Xiaohua broke free of the red balloon's restraint and fell.
At the same time, Yang Jian withdrew the vicious ghost that had invaded Yang Xiaohua's body, allowing her to grab hold of the red balloon that had nearly floated away again.
After walking the edge of life and death, Yang Xiaohua no longer dared to be careless. She hurriedly stood beside the Red Coffin and did not dare move another step, terrified that the supernatural phenomena around her would kill her again.
Ordinary people were simply too fragile in this kind of environment.
"Yang Jian, if you don't think of something, Old Eagle will die soon
