Realm of the Night God

Duda left, and before leaving, he restored the appearance of a sturdy man, walking out of the grocery store and disappearing into the crowd.

The reason why he waited an hour before contacting Deng Feng after Yang Haoran was to avoid being intercepted by Deng Feng and to leave safely.

Yang Haoran closed the door again, a hint of a cold smile on his face.

He didn't immediately contact Deng Feng, but according to Duda's request, he waited for an hour before taking out his mobile phone and dialing Deng Feng's number.

The phone connected after ringing a few times, and Deng Feng's indifferent voice came from the other end.

"Who is this?"

"Divine envoy, it's Yang Haoran."

Deng Feng didn't have Yang Haoran's phone number, which didn't surprise Yang Haoran at all. After all, he was just a small employee while Deng Feng was the boss. It was normal for the boss not to have his number.

It wasn't surprising that Yang Haoran had Deng Feng's number. As a prominent figure by the boss's side, even if only superficially, he naturally needed to have the boss's number so he could report to him anytime there was an issue.

"Haoran, what's the matter?"

Deng Feng suddenly called himself Haoran, which Yang Haoran was not quite accustomed to for a moment. In the past, in front of Deng Feng, he didn't even have a title.

"Divine envoy, there's news about Duda." Yang Haoran got straight to the point without any nonsense.

As soon as Deng Feng heard that there was news about Duda, his tone changed immediately, becoming much more excited.

"What news?" Deng Feng asked.

"He just came to see me and nearly killed me!" Yang Haoran said with a terrified expression.

"He came to see you? Why did he come to you?" Deng Feng asked, the previous hint of warmth disappearing, replaced by seriousness.

"He thinks the incident where you intercepted him last time is related to me, so he wanted to come back and deal with me." Yang Haoran responded.

There was silence on Deng Feng's end of the phone for a few seconds before he asked, "Then why are you still alive? What did you tell him?"

"Hehe, I told him about our plan." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"What!" Deng Feng was shocked, then angrily exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind? You told him the plan! Then will he come to the Ghost Building later?"

"Divine envoy, don't get excited first. I have my reasons for doing this. I can assure you that my actions won't backfire on someone like him. Instead, it will have a certain push." Yang Haoran explained quickly.

"Are you sure?" Deng Feng suppressed his anger and uncertainty crept into his voice.

"You can rest assured, I'm sure. And the reason I chose to tell him the plan is all because of you, divine envoy!" Yang Haoran smiled bitterly.

"Because of me?" Deng Feng's voice became puzzled.

"This time you intercepted Duda, causing him heavy losses, losing two powerful evil spirits. He is a very clever person and acts very cautiously. After losing two evil spirits, he knows his strength has declined significantly and will surely be more cautious in his actions. Even if you and the one from Ghost Building were really acting, he might not show up. If we continued with the original plan, the final act would only be performed for the ghosts in Ghost Building, utterly meaningless."

Yang Haoran's words were reasoned and grounded, not at all like he was deliberately deceiving Deng Feng. No matter how you looked at it, these were his sincere words.

"So what?" Deng Feng asked coldly.

"So I temporarily changed the plan and told him the original plan, as bait to lure him." Yang Haoran replied.

With a cold snort, Deng Feng responded, "Are you sure he will take the bait? Do you think he will believe you?"

"He definitely won't fully believe me. I'm clear about this in my mind. But under the circumstance where my life was threatened, telling him our plan still holds some credibility and will also have an impact on him. He won't fully trust me, but at least he will trust a little, and what I want is just that little trust."

"Divine envoy, before you get rid of his two evil spirits, his intent to kill you was already extremely strong. Now that you've caused him to lose two evil spirits, leading to a significant decline in his strength, his desire to kill you naturally becomes stronger. In my opinion, as long as he has the chance to get rid of you, he absolutely won't miss it!"

"Learning about our plan is an opportunity, even if he has some doubts about it, it serves as a reminder for him. He will be cautious but will also put more effort into this aspect!"

"If I'm guessing correctly, he will definitely go to the Ghost Building recently. He will seek out the one in the Ghost Building and then try to cooperate with them to deal with you!"

"I won't say more about this matter. If we proceed according to the original plan, then the one who will definitely suffer is you, divine envoy, and this is exactly what Duda wants!"

"My compliance with him was all a pretense, not a single bit was real. He thinks I'm under threat to my life, so it's absolutely impossible for me to tell you this, because in his eyes, his death means my death. For my survival, I have no reason at all to tell you this. It's just that he didn't know, divine envoy, that you already knew how to remove the Soul Scattering Needle. His threat to me is just a joke!"

At this point, Yang Haoran couldn't help but laugh. His laughter sounded sinister, as if he could already see Duda dead in front of him.

After listening to Yang Haoran's explanation, Deng Feng's tone also softened considerably.

"Knowing Duda as I do, after learning about our plan, he will definitely go to the Ghost Building to find that person. Because he knows that although the one in the Ghost Building has a cooperative relationship with me, our relationship has never been good. As long as he's willing to go all out, persuading the other party to deal with me is also possible."

Yang Haoran chuckled and said, "Then why not ambush him before he negotiates with the one in the Ghost Building?"

"What do you mean?" Deng Feng seemed to have understood something but wasn't entirely sure.

"What do I mean? Divine envoy, haven't you already guessed?" Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

"Setting up an ambush in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap. That's indeed a good idea, but I don't want to do it for the time being."

Deng Feng's answer made Yang Haoran furrow his brows.

"Duda is not someone to be taken lightly. It's best not to miss the opportunity to get rid of him, to prevent any unexpected twists later on," Yang Haoran advised.

"I have my own thoughts on this matter, you don't need to ask more. Your previous plan doesn't need to be changed either. Although Duda, that old guy, knows about it now, thinking about it carefully, it might not be a bad thing. So I've decided, let's proceed with the original plan," Deng Feng suddenly laughed inexplicably, addressing Yang Haoran.

"Proceed with the original plan, divine envoy..."

Yang Haoran wanted to say something more, but Deng Feng interrupted him directly.

"Alright, just do as I say. When the time comes for the plan, I hope you'll follow the script we've prepared earlier. Actually, you are the protagonist of this play. If you don't perform well, even if Duda, that old guy, knows our plan, he will still think it's a trap and won't easily fall for it."

After saying this, Deng Feng hung up the phone directly, showing his boss-like demeanor.

Yang Haoran put away his mobile phone, his brows relaxing. The doubt on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold smile.

He knew Deng Feng had been quite wary of him all along, so there were some things he didn't want to reveal to him at all.

However, Deng Feng's request to proceed with the original plan was just what he wanted.

He knew Deng Feng was not entirely trusting of him, just like Duda. So he had just suggested to Deng Feng to ambush Duda in advance, knowing that Deng Feng would refuse and continue with the original plan!

The result was very satisfying to him.

"Although my life journey is coming to an end, I still want to taste the feeling of being the protagonist before I die. Perhaps... as Deng Feng said, I am the true protagonist of this play, from beginning to end."

At the same time, Deng Feng also put away his mobile phone, his face showing a similarly cold smile.

"Hehe, it's really something to look forward to. I really hope that day will come soon."
