Chapter 281: Escape to Safety

After escaping from Ghost Bride’s Ghost Domain, Chu Jiang didn’t revert back to his original form. Ignoring the fact that ordinary people cannot breathe in the darkness, he directly tied them up with chains and disappeared into the ubiquitous shadows of the night.

Outside, the ghostly mist of the Wedding Ghost still lingered, and even the wedding procession was present. However, they had lost their backbone and stood still, not obstructing Chu Jiang and the others from escaping.

When Chu Jiang and his companions vanished on the spot, Ghost Bride’s Ghost Domain suddenly dissipated. All the ghosts appeared on Green Cloud Mountain, including the Ghost Bride wearing a red wedding gown.

Surprisingly, when Ghost Bride emerged, she didn’t chase after the group that disappeared into the shadows. She just stood there in a daze, searching for the groom’s figure by looking around, turning her body, and pacing back and forth.

During this process, tears of blood fell from beneath her red veil. They stained her clothing and dyed her embroidered shoes red…

In fact, Chu Jiang and the others didn’t escape very far. They hadn’t even managed to leave the range of Green Cloud Mountain and the engulfing ghostly mist when they had to navigate their way out of the dark shadows.

As soon as they emerged, Zhang Dafu and the others immediately gasped for air.

Some people had a pale face; half of it was due to suffocation, while the other half was from being frightened in an environment where they couldn’t see or feel anything.

Even ordinary people can hold their breath for several seconds when they are prepared, but this time it was too sudden.

Chu Jiang didn’t have time to tell them to hold their breath, and they were already in a highly nervous state, so Chu Jiang had to come out earlier, or else someone would really die.

Jing Ruoxue was okay, she wasn’t tied up with the others, but instead willingly clung to Chu Jiang.

As soon as Chu Jiang appeared, he became immediately tense and used his super sensory perception to pay attention to any movement behind him.

After confirming that the Ghost Bride and other ghosts didn’t follow them, he didn’t ask anyone else to go into the darkness with him, but instead had them run with him.

Since Chu Jiang was still borrowing power from the Imitation Ghost, he couldn’t use the Theater Ghost Domain, so he could only use this primitive way to help them escape.

……

Just at that moment, they encountered a new problem, the mist from the Wedding Ghost was still there.

Although the Wedding Ghost didn’t deliberately control the black mist, it was like an alternative Ghost Domain that overlapped with the real world.

Even though its main effect was not to block, Chu Jiang and the others still got lost.

The super sense of the Blood Hand Ghost was compressed from a radius of 100 meters to within ten meters in this ghostly mist.

In order to prevent bumping into the Ghost Bride, Chu Jiang urgently told everyone to stop first.

Then he stretched out his hands. Although the appearance of his arms still resembled Slender Man, their essence remained unchanged.

However, what surprised Chu Jiang was that Chu’s Jiang’s hand couldn’t grasp the mist? It could touch it, but as soon as it touched, it dissipated through the gaps between the fingers.

After some thought, Chu Jiang tried a different approach. He used his hands to push aside the mist.

At first, it was just a small gust of wind, but as Chu Jiang exerted more force, the wind he pushed out with his hands became terrifyingly powerful, forming two misty tornadoes on both sides of him!

This couldn’t be achieved solely with physical strength. Despite having almost half of his body eroded by Chu’s Jiang, Chu Jiang vaguely felt that he had gained a higher level of supernatural power.

However, he couldn’t explain the specifics and was not proficient, but he just felt that he was no longer a warrior who could only rely on brute force.

The wind blew and the clouds cleared, revealing a clean area without any fog in front of everyone.

Before anyone could show surprise, Chu Jiang ran forward while pushing aside the fog on both sides.

To the Feng Shui master and the others who were watching from outside, it seemed like the fog on the mountain suddenly started rolling, just like water boiling, and there were even swirling fog that formed into tornado-like shapes.

Moreover, there seemed to be a black figure shooting down the mountain between those tornadoes, like an arrow!

"Quick! Retreat first."

Regardless of whether it was a person or a ghost coming out, the Feng Shui master didn’t want to collide head-on with the other party.

As these people retreated, Zhou Hongyu, who was hiding next to them, also retreated along with them.

……

With Chu Jiang clearing the way, the rest of the people quickly ran down the mountain under Jing Ruoxue’s guidance, along the space without any fog.

Finally reached the bottom of the mountain, after escaping from the ghostly mist, although everyone was out of breath, most of them showed a relieved expression.

Then Chu Jiang looked at Xu Shengtian and said, "I have a task for you. Take these ordinary people and use your phone’s GPS to locate the direction of Langchao City. Head that way, and someone will come to pick you up."

Xu Shengtian, still gasping for breath, immediately saluted and said, "Got it!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he became scared, "What if that Chess Ghost suddenly comes looking for me to play chess halfway?"

Chu Jiang remained unfazed and said, "Then play with it. After all, you two are lousy chess players. It would take you all night to finish a game. I’ll come over and handle it then."

"Alright," Xu Shengtian agreed and urged Zhang Dafu and the others to run together with him.

Honestly, facing Chu Jiang’s ghostly appearance, Xu Shengtian felt a lot of pressure. Even his legs would involuntarily shake.

After these ordinary people left, Chu Jiang used his satellite phone to check with Chen Yuting.

As expected, Chen Yuting was already prepared with the support personnel, so the captain didn’t need to worry.

And at this moment, Chen Yuting finally dared to ask Chu Jiang about the situation on the scene. Before, she had just been listening anxiously.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment and briefly explained the current situation.

"So, it’s very troublesome. We don’t know if the Ghost Bride will go crazy and spread those ghosts it controls everywhere."

"That’s why I won’t leave now. I will continue to observe nearby."

"The best outcome would be if the Ghost Bride can’t find a target and keeps wandering on Green Cloud Mountain."

"Then, we just need to seal off this area and prevent any living person from entering."

This approach is not particularly new. Research Institute No. 21, after evaluating powerful and tricky ghosts, often takes this solution when they believe the ghosts won’t roam around anymore.

Although this is not a good method and can only be considered a last resort. But now, the global situation is becoming more severe. If we were to confront them head-on, the research institute doesn’t have enough personnel to waste.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuting nodded. She said she would report the specific situation and the research institute might send some reinforcements to the scene to assess the feasibility of this plan.
