Realm of the Night God

<

Master Jiang's suggestion stemmed from his reluctance to see his temple priests meet their demise.

Judging from the expressions of his temple priests, he knew they were reluctant to undertake this task. Hence, he proposed the idea.

However, Deng Feng had his own thoughts. His position, perspective, character, and concerns differed from Master Jiang's. Naturally, he wouldn't heed Master Jiang's advice.

Despite Deng Feng's scolding, Master Jiang had no choice but to agree and comply with Deng Feng's arrangements.

Yet, deciding who would take over the positions of the deceased three was a daunting task for him. No matter whom he chose, it was bound to leave a mark, if not offend them.

Deng Feng tore through space and departed, his destination unknown.

Night Watch also left the hall one after another, and Yang Haoran was no exception.

With the moon already risen outside, Yang Haoran furrowed his brows in contemplation.

As night fell, it belonged to their Yin Division. Observing the uneasy expressions of the other Night Watch, some even with hints of fear, Yang Haoran couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation. Night Watch were human too; they feared death just the same.

Yang Haoran intended to have a chat with Master Jiang. However, given Master Jiang's worries and the immediate need to fulfill Deng Feng's arrangements, he was busier and more anxious than anyone else.

Under such circumstances, Yang Haoran wouldn't dare to disturb Master Jiang. With his hands in his pockets, wearing a complex expression, he left the South Lake Death God Temple.

The search for the spirit master was a task Yang Haoran was determined to carry out. Not because he blindly followed Deng Feng's words, but because he believed this whole situation might have originated from him. He saw it as retaliation, not wanting to witness more Night Watch lose their lives because of him. Thus, he wanted to find the perpetrator quickly and have Deng Feng eliminate this threat completely.

As he got into his car, Yang Haoran prepared to return to the grocery store. Whoever managed to kill three Night Watch within a day was undoubtedly formidable. If he was to go out searching for them, he needed to be prepared to avoid falling into their trap.

Back at the grocery store, Yang Haoran took out the wooden box containing the remaining talismans from Master Zhou. Although he couldn't draw talismans yet, his understanding of them was growing. The talismans left by Master Zhou would be immensely useful to him. Used correctly, they might even save his life.

If the deaths of the three Night Watch today were indeed caused by Du Xiao's master, then Yang Haoran was in grave danger. After all, Du Xiao had died at his hands, and he couldn't be certain if the other party had a way of finding out.

With the wooden box in hand, Yang Haoran intended to leave the grocery store. However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed drastically!

He felt a strong Yin Qi rapidly approaching the location of his grocery store. Such intense Yin Qi could only mean one of three things: a ghost, an Underworld Envoy, or a spirit master!

All three possibilities existed, but considering the events of today, Yang Haoran reflexively believed it was the last possibility.

Realizing the danger, although his body hadn't reacted yet, a gust of cold wind blew, lifting the green curtains, and suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Yang Haoran.

Everything happened too quickly. Yang Haoran sensed the Yin Qi and realized the danger, but before his body could react, the figure was already before him.

The moment the figure appeared, Yang Haoran's body finally began to react according to his brain's commands. However, it was too late. He found his body bound by a force.

Looking down, he saw his body enveloped in a mass of Yin Qi, like sturdy ropes, firmly binding him!

Yang Haoran was shocked. He quickly tried to use his Yin spirit power to disperse the Yin Qi surrounding him, but tragically, his released Yin spirit power didn't scatter the Yin Qi; instead, it was absorbed by it!

Suddenly, a horrifying woman's face emerged from the Yin Qi. Her ears were cut, her mouth widened by a sharp blade, giving the illusion of a smile. However, upon closer inspection, one could see she wasn't smiling but rather the result of her forcibly slit mouth.

The face was inches away, and despite Yang Haoran being accustomed to ghosts, the sudden appearance of this terrifying visage startled him!

Even if it was just because of the terrifying appearance, Yang Haoran would have been momentarily frightened, but he would have quickly recovered.

However, the current situation was different. He stared at the face inches away from him in shock, unable to react for a moment!

What shocked him wasn't the terrifying face of the woman but her eyes, a pair of milky white eyes!

An evil spirit!

This was a true evil spirit!

Yang Haoran's heart pounded furiously. It dawned on him that the Yin Qi entwined around him wasn't just ordinary Yin Qi but the manifestation of an evil spirit's soul!

As if finding Yang Haoran's expression amusing, the evil spirit grinned!

Her grin was horrifying enough, but with that smile, it became even more terrifying. Besides terror, there was a hint of cruelty!

The evil spirit licked her lips, her milky white eyes filled with greed. Yang Haoran's emitted Yin Qi and the Yin spirit power circulating within him tempted her greatly.

She couldn't help but slowly open her mouth, widening it like a python, growing larger and larger.

In her eyes, Yang Haoran was prey, to be devoured bit by bit!

Watching the massive mouth of the female ghost about to bite his face, Yang Haoran's expression turned grim, his heart filled with anxiety!

He wasn't an ordinary person; he wouldn't be frightened by the evil spirit's current actions. As an evil spirit lacked a physical form, apart from creating illusions, it couldn't directly harm his body. Even though he was currently trapped, he didn't see much of a connection between him and the evil spirit.

The evil spirit wanted to devour his soul and the Yin spirit power within him, but that could only happen after his death. Before then, the evil spirit couldn't forcibly extract his Yin spirit power and soul.

The fact that the evil spirit managed to absorb his Yin spirit power earlier was because he voluntarily released it. If he didn't release it, the evil spirit wouldn't be able to do anything.

Hence, while this move might frighten an ordinary person or someone unfamiliar with evil spirits, it couldn't scare Yang Haoran, a Night Watch.

Yang Haoran's inner anxiety stemmed from the terrifying illusions the evil spirit could create. Compared to the illusions created by a Half-Step Evil Spirit, those crafted by a true evil spirit were like night and day. The vast difference in strength between the two was evident.

If he were to fall into the illusions created by a true evil spirit, Yang Haoran wasn't confident he could break free.

If he couldn't break free, there would only be one outcome - being toyed with until death.

This was a frustrating way to die. In the end, he might not even get to see the true form of the evil spirit before being toyed to death!

Besides the evil spirit, there was another person present, and this person was the main source of Yang Haoran's inner anxiety!

The figure before him was an old man, standing at a mere five feet tall, hunched over with a cane. He seemed like a frail old man who could be blown away by the wind.

However, Yang Haoran dared not underestimate him. If he thought so, he would be too naive, because the Yin Qi emanating from the old man was much stronger than his own!
