Chapter 281
As Cao Yang's mind moved, the blood line that was originally fixed not far away exploded instantly, and the sticky ghost blood dyed the ghost lake where Cao Yang was red in the blink of an eye.
Cao Yang raised his hand casually, and with the ghost blood as the dividing line, the lake water in front of him was cut off, and this cut-off area was constantly expanding, expanding from bottom to top, and spreading to the left and right.
Originally, the Ghost Lake once again condensed the image of silver and tried to attack Cao Yang, but the lake water was divided and it could not cross the dividing line.
"Plop——!"
There was a sound of something falling to the ground, and a female corpse was swept away by the lake water. It crossed the boundary and fell from the lake to the bottom of the lake, falling heavily into the mud.
Moreover, the corpse was rapidly decaying, emitting a strong stench. In just a few moments, the originally intact corpse turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
"They were just ordinary people who accidentally fell into the Ghost Lake and died. The spiritual power of the lake kept their bodies intact and did not rot. But now, that spiritual power has been stolen by me. The bodies have lost the protection of the spiritual power, so they rotted quickly."
The eyes of the ghost who was still wearing Yin Zi's body became more resentful. It was the instinct of evil ghosts to take the puzzle pieces. Now that his own supernatural powers had been stolen, this instinct made him hate Cao Yang, but he could do nothing about it.
"I just like the way you are upset with me but can't get rid of me."
Across a layer of blood lake, Cao Yang teased in a relaxed manner.
"Having divided up nearly 30% of the Ghost Lake, the next step is to deal with the consequences."
Cao Yang's figure flashed and he stood firmly on the surface of the Blood Lake. On the opposite side of the lake, He Liansheng and his three companions were still riding on their small black boat, but at this moment their expressions were all filled with great surprise.
"Captain Cao, if you do this, it will cause trouble."
They had seen everything that had just happened. Although they were not involved in the supernatural world, their vision and knowledge were not comparable to that of ordinary ghost hunters. For example, now, Boss Liu had already seen through the doorway at a glance.
"call--!"
He Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had guarded Ghost Lake for his entire life, but he never expected that something like this would happen at this point in time.
"Perhaps this is my destiny. A few years ago, I consulted a senior and he told me a fortune. The answer was very simple, just eight words."
“It starts at Ghost Lake and ends at Ghost Lake.”
He Liansheng tightly grasped the enamel teacup in his hand, and veins popped out on the back of his dry and withered hand. Obviously, he was also under great pressure.
"He has controlled almost 30% of the Ghost Lake. The remaining water is not enough to maintain the balance. This also means that the Taiping Ancient Town where I have lived all my life will be flooded."
"Boss Liu, is your Taiping Inn still available? After we deal with Ghost Lake, Gu Li and I will just live in your inn for retirement. Anyway, we have saved up some money over the years, so we can still afford to stay in an inn."
Upon hearing this, Boss Liu was startled at first, then his expression became complicated, and he even put on a wry smile.
"Okay, then I'll clean it up and throw out all the dirty, unclean stuff."
Cao Yang stood on the surface of the blood lake, which was filled with densely packed corpses, all of which were intact and numerous. The three types of ghost dens, ghost blood, ghost lake, and water ghost, were superimposed, and the imprisoned ghosts were now all gathered in the blood lake.
"The ghosts in the Blood Lake are even scarier than those in the Ghost Lake. I can be sure that if I fell into the Blood Lake, I would never come out alive."
Gu Li gestured with his hands very quickly and wrote these words in the air.
"Yes. The new generation is always pushing the old generation forward. The younger generation has far surpassed us." Boss Liu looked at Cao Yang with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He had known Cao Yang for a long time and they maintained a good relationship. In his heart, he really admired this young man.
"It is inevitable that Ghost Lake will get out of control. Since you chose Taiping Ancient Town, you should have expected this day to come. I will deal with the ghosts that appear after Ghost Lake gets out of control. As for you, I won't force you. You can go back and pack your bags in advance, or stay and solve it with me."
“All choices are based on conscience.”
Cao Yang said coldly that apart from Boss Liu, he didn't have a good impression of He Liansheng and the Faceless Man, especially He Liansheng.
"Gu Li stays here, and Boss Liu comes back with me. The legacy of the necromancer cannot be broken, and we must not let down our ancestors in the ancestral hall."
He Liansheng paused and said in a deep voice.
The Faceless Man and Boss Liu nodded at the same time. They had no objection to He Liansheng's arrangement because in terms of ability, only the Faceless Man was the most suitable person to stay and deal with Ghost Lake.
"Okay, this paper boat is for you."
Cao Yang took out the paper boat and threw it over.
The bottomless black-sailed paper boat landed steadily on the water on the other side, and then quickly expanded into a small boat large enough to carry three or four people.
The faceless man calmly walked onto the boat, his back covered with a thick layer of black shadow, and exuding an extremely cold aura. Obviously, it was a kind of spiritual power that he mastered.
Afterwards, Boss Liu followed He Liansheng and quickly drove away in the black boat, leaving only the faceless man and Cao Yang.
"He asked you to stay not because you are strong enough, but to show his attitude, to prove that he is willing to join hands with me to deal with the consequences caused by the out-of-control of Ghost Lake."
Cao Yang stood on the water as if he was walking on flat ground, while the faceless man was on the other side of the lake, just facing him quietly.
More and more corpses were swept across the boundary by the lake water and quickly fell to the bottom of the lake. Ordinary corpses turned into rotten corpses in an instant, but some corpses were real ghosts.
The ghost escaped from the suppression of the ghost lake and soon began to recover. However, before it could fully recover, a cold wind swept over again and directly swept the ghost into the blood lake.
The Blood Lake has three kinds of suppression at the same time: ghost lake, ghost blood, and water area. Once ordinary evil ghosts sink into the lake, they will never see the light of day again in this life.
Cao Yang just stood there without moving. The blood lake and ghost wind had already changed according to his thoughts. The strong wind stirred up waves of blood, knocking down the ghosts that crossed the line, and then they fell into the state of being suppressed again.
"You are very strong, stronger than the four of us put together."
The faceless man stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.
"Strong or weak, it doesn't matter. Maybe I can handle the ghost lake today, but there will definitely be a ghost I can't handle in the future."
"I can get rid of one ghost, but I can't get rid of ghosts all my life."
"Ghost riders all have their limits, and I will die one day too."
"But ghosts can't be killed. No one can put an end to the supernatural. I can't, those seniors can't, you can't, and he can't."
