Chapter 726: Doubts Arise
Zhang Changchun's words were not without reason. Since the two sides had already formed a grudge, it was possible that the ghost would take revenge on them after destroying the Zhang family.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Ma Yuanjin and Zhang Changqing's plan to tear through space and escape was put on hold.
"Why escape now? It's better to join forces with me to take down this ghost. When the time comes, I promise you'll get a good deal, and the benefits will be yours alone!"
Zhang Changchun made another promise to keep the few people behind, and by "few people," he naturally meant those who had already died.
"This ghost may be powerful, but you haven't used your trump cards yet. Don't hold back, use them quickly I'll control the Soul Suppression Tower to block its Illusion Technique for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Changqing's Soul Suppression Tower was struck by the ghost, and he turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
However, he didn't give up. Without even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he once again mobilized more power into the Soul Suppression Tower.
The Soul Suppression Tower appeared above the ghost, releasing a powerful energy fluctuation that enveloped the ghost below.
The Soul Suppression Tower had an extremely strong restraining effect on the ghost. Zhang Changchun used all his might to stimulate the Soul Suppression Tower, causing a significant impact on the ghost. With Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing's fierce attacks, they were able to temporarily restrain the ghost.
The two of them were very clear that Zhang Changchun's previous words were not just empty threats. If they chose to escape now, Zhang Changchun would definitely die without a doubt. And once Zhang Changchun died, would the ghost spare them, the helpers?
When the ghost came looking for them, would they have the ability to kill it?
The answer was no, and both of them knew it in their hearts. If the ghost really came looking for them, they would be the ones to die, along with the people around them.
Thinking this way, joining forces to take down the ghost was the safest option, the only way to eliminate future troubles. But could they really take down the ghost?
Was the ghost really going to weaken, as Zhang Changchun had said, after a short while?
This was the biggest concern in their hearts at the moment.
If it was true, as Zhang Changchun said, then taking down the ghost was not impossible.
But if Zhang Changchun was lying, they would be in big trouble, and might end up like the others, dead in this place.
"Zhang Changchun, I'll ask you one question Is the ghost's power really going to weaken?"
Zhang Changqing's expression was difficult to look at, and he shouted at Zhang Changchun, his words revealing his inner turmoil.
"Of course it will weaken The ghost has cultivated a certain secret technique, which is why it can burst out such terrifying power in a short time. If it could maintain such powerful strength, how could we have sealed it away back then?"
Zhang Changchun guaranteed again, his expression agitated and his tone firm. He seemed to be willing to tear out his heart to show the few people.
"Haha, relying on a secret technique to boost strength? That's a pretty good lie. Although I don't know what you're planning, old man, you really want to bury all these people here, don't you?"
The ghost laughed loudly, his words directed at Zhang Changchun, with a hint of sarcasm.
At the same time, facing the fierce attacks of the three, although it was restrained, it didn't seem to have taken much damage, and instead appeared to be in control.
His words had a certain impact on Ma Yuanjin and Zhang Changqing, and even Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"If what I said wasn't true, why are you so nervous?"
Zhang Changchun's eyes revealed a killing intent, and he asked the ghost in a low voice, while pouring more power into the Soul Suppression Tower.
The Soul Suppression Tower's volume suddenly increased by 50%, releasing even stronger power, which naturally had a greater impact on the ghost.
"Am I scared? Haha, no way, I'm scared, you want to bury them all here, I have no objections, it's just what I need to replenish my soul body."
The ghost's face showed no concern, and from his tone, it seemed like he hoped Yang Haoran and the others would stay and fight to the death.
Xu Meijing's body was shaken by a surge of Yin Qi, retreating dozens of meters before stabilizing, and just as she was about to charge at the ghost with the Death Slayer, Yang Haoran grabbed her hand.
"Something's off!"
Yang Haoran didn't explain further, only saying those few words, but he believed Xu Meijing understood his meaning.
"I've got it, don't worry, I've got your back."
Xu Meijing didn't waste words either, simply responding to Yang Haoran before charging at the ghost again with the Death Slayer.
Seeing Xu Meijing's fearlessness, Yang Haoran sighed and shook his head, not saying anything more, and continued to control the Waning Moon to attack the ghost.
He didn't know what Xu Meijing was thinking, but he knew his warning would get through to her.
Since she understood, yet refused to leave, there must be her own considerations at play. To take care of Xu Meijing's feelings, he didn't plan to force her to leave for now, and as for why she wouldn't leave on her own, that was even more impossible, he'd rather drag her away by force than leave her behind.
Although he had a bad feeling, Xu Meijing's attitude made him temporarily put aside his thoughts of leaving.
Zhang Changchun saw Ma Yuanjin and Zhang Changqing still hesitating and couldn't help but shout again.
"Get a move on and use your strongest skills, you're causing too much damage, and I'll have to foot the bill later!"

Zhang Changqing cursed loudly, then turned to look at Wang Yiming beside him.
"Take care of yourself!"
Wang Yiming heard this and knew his master was still planning to stay, so he hastily reminded him with a worried face.
"Master, are you really going to keep fighting?"
Zhang Changqing's face was stern, his expression very unpleasant.
"Zhang Changchun's words I won't fully believe, but he's right about one thing - since we've already gotten involved, we've made an enemy, and if we don't take down this ghost today, we'll never have peace in the future. When that time comes, it won't just be me who suffers, everyone around me will be affected, including you. I don't want to live with a sword hanging over my head, so I must destroy this sword. But no matter what, I've been played by Zhang Changchun this time. I'll get back at him later!"
Zhang Changqing had said his piece, and Wang Yiming didn't plan to persuade him further, as his master's words weren't entirely unreasonable.
"I'll contribute too!"
Wang Yiming said, then took out many talismans from his independent space, most of which were yellow talismans, and a few black talismans, all of which were ghost-slaying talismans.
According to Zhang Changqing's plan, he wanted his disciple to retreat to a safe distance to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the battle, but seeing Wang Yiming take out the talismans, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Alright, the more people, the more power, although you've only just become a black talisman master, you're still a black talisman master, who knows, you might be the straw that breaks the camel's back!"
Wang Yiming had indeed become a black talisman master, although he was still young, he had a natural talent for drawing talismans, which was why Zhang Changqing wanted to take him as his disciple, as he believed his disciple would surpass him in the future and bring glory to the Lechengfu Sect and himself!
At this moment, Wang Yiming took out the ghost-slaying talismans, all of which were made by himself, and since he had only recently become a black talisman master, he didn't have many black talismans, but he had accumulated many yellow talismans, including ghost-slaying talismans.
With Zhang Changqing's approval, Wang Yiming no longer had any worries, and his Talisman Spirit Power burst forth, unleashing a large number of talismans like a giant black and white python, attacking the ghost.
"Give me some time!"
Zhang Changqing didn't take out any talismans, instead taking out a talisman brush, shouting at Zhang Changchun.
