Realm of the Night God

Several cars parked outside the ghost building, and Yang Haoran sensed the presence of several fluctuations of power, a kind of power he was very familiar with, Yin spirit power.

Yang Haoran frowned slightly. He hadn't expected so many people to suddenly come. This was somewhat different from the plan they had discussed.

Quickly walking to the window, Yang Haoran looked down and saw several cars parked outside the ghost building, with several people walking out of them.

"Master Jiang!"

Yang Haoran's expression changed. He knew all of these people without exception because they were all members of the Night Watch, and among them was his most familiar Master Jiang!

"Why are they here, and where's Deng Feng?"

Yang Haoran scanned around but didn't spot Deng Feng's shadow. What puzzled him was how Master Jiang and the others ended up here.

In the plan he discussed with Deng Feng, there was no role for Master Jiang and the other members of the Night Watch. Their sudden appearance here indicated that Deng Feng had other arrangements.

However, Deng Feng hadn't mentioned a word about this arrangement to Yang Haoran. From this, it was evident that Deng Feng had a strong guard against Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran's expression turned serious. He wasn't sure why Deng Feng had brought Master Jiang and the others here, but he faintly felt that it was definitely not something good for them.

He didn't mind much; after all, he would most likely be doomed after tonight. No matter how Deng Feng tossed and turned, as long as he could pull one or two scapegoats before his death, it would be fine.

However, he had never thought of dragging Master Jiang and other innocent members of the Night Watch into this. Apart from himself, the major players in tonight's drama were all significant figures. For Deng Feng to forcibly include Master Jiang and the others, wasn't he sending them to their deaths?

Watching Master Jiang and the others getting out of the car, Yang Haoran couldn't help but think so in his heart. At this moment, his presence also caught the attention of Master Jiang and the others.

If an ordinary person saw a face at the second-floor window of the ghost building, they would probably be frightened, but Master Jiang and the others were all members of the Night Watch who dealt with ghosts every day. Naturally, they wouldn't be frightened by such a scene. Moreover, they all recognized Yang Haoran at a glance.

Seeing Yang Haoran here, surprise appeared on the faces of Master Jiang and the others. From their reactions, it seemed they didn't expect Yang Haoran to be here.

Master Jiang waved to Yang Haoran, his face still showing confusion, as if he was beckoning Yang Haoran to come down.

Yang Haoran hesitated a bit in his heart, looking at Master Jiang's smiling yet puzzled face. In the end, he smiled and nodded.

Glancing at the stairs leading to the third floor, where the black Yin Qi was visibly thick, enveloping the entire staircase, Yang Haoran originally intended to go up to the third floor. However, Master Jiang's appearance made him change his mind.

He glanced around and noticed that among the Night Watch who came with Master Jiang, they were all seasoned members. The newly recruited Night Watch were absent.

These seasoned Night Watch members were all quite powerful, but tonight's ghost building was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Whether it was Deng Feng, Duda, or the figure on the third floor, they were not opponents that these Night Watch members could compare with. In front of them, the Night Watch members could only be considered as larger ants at best...

Master Jiang was Yang Haoran's mentor. Without Master Jiang, Yang Haoran wouldn't have had the chance to become a member of the Night Watch. Therefore, Yang Haoran had always respected Master Jiang very much.

He didn't want to see Master Jiang come here tonight to die. His decision to go down and join them was to find an opportunity to talk to Master Jiang and persuade him to leave here as soon as possible to avoid losing his life here.

The undead on the first floor saw Yang Haoran retreat back from the second floor and once again hid, not daring to act rashly. Yang Haoran ignored them and quickly left the ghost building.

From start to finish, the powerful presence in the ghost building did not stop Yang Haoran, whether it was him entering the ghost building from the first floor to the second floor or leaving the ghost building from the second floor to the first floor. That figure in the ghost building didn't stop him, nor did it appear, as if ignoring Yang Haoran's presence altogether.

This seemed insignificant, but upon careful consideration, something was amiss.

The ghost building wasn't a bus where you could get on and off as you pleased. From the scattered bones and tattered clothes on the first floor, it was evident that the powerful presence in the ghost building wasn't someone to be trifled with. However, Yang Haoran inexplicably passed through unimpeded. Naturally, this was abnormal.

After leaving the ghost building, Yang Haoran joined the other Night Watch members. Upon seeing Yang Haoran, some Night Watch members greeted him with smiles, some nodded indifferently, acknowledging his presence, while others pretended not to see him, blatantly ignoring him.

Nowadays, all Night Watch members knew that Yang Haoran was favored by Deng Feng. During this period, to deal with spirit masters, they had been busy all the time, filled with resentment.

On the contrary, Yang Haoran hadn't been seen anywhere from start to finish. In the eyes of these Night Watch members, Yang Haoran was probably receiving special treatment from Deng Feng, the Burial Master, deliberately avoiding putting Yang Haoran, a good seedling, at risk.

Some people were like this. They never strive for anything or make efforts to achieve more, but they can't stand seeing others doing better or being more outstanding than themselves.

They never think about what others have put in to achieve more than them or enjoy better treatment.

They never reflect on whether they haven't done enough, whether their methods are wrong, or if they have shortcomings in other aspects.

They don't think about these; they are like the Boss, only concerned about the results.

If others gain more than themselves or enjoy better treatment, they feel uncomfortable.

They feel like they have done a lot, put in a lot of effort, while the other party hasn't done anything, yet they receive better benefits than themselves. Why?

They never think about the fact that while they were making efforts, the other person may have been working hard too, but they just didn't see it, perhaps they were enjoying themselves, indulging in pleasure.

Feeling uncomfortable inside, they naturally speak out, and these people start to gossip behind each other's backs, nitpicking and faultfinding.

The feeling of imbalance in one's heart is contagious. In such situations, similar individuals resonate with each other, making them believe that their thoughts are not wrong and that everything is the other party's fault...

Every circle inevitably has such people. When these people gather, they will definitely isolate the target, marking them with a special label, becoming objects of exclusion.

Currently, this is what Yang Haoran sees. The more tactful members of the Night Watch still greet him with smiles, while the less amiable ones just nod indifferently, and the truly hostile ones completely ignore him, as if they hadn't noticed his existence at all.

Yang Haoran observed the reactions of these Night Watch members, feeling somewhat sighful. Where there are people, there are cliques, there are struggles, and such things happen. It's like this in the world of ordinary people, and it's the same in the world of non-ordinary people.

Recalling when he first became a member of the Night Watch, these people were nice to him as a newcomer. They even exchanged contact information with each other and were quite enthusiastic.

However, after a few months, Yang Haoran gained more pure yin qi than they did in several years, which made many people feel uneasy.

They never thought about how much effort Yang Haoran put into recruiting so many undead, or the dangers he faced when he subdued the Half-Step Evil Spirit twice. They only saw Yang Haoran's gains, only saw Deng Feng's favoritism towards Yang Haoran, that pretended favoritism.

At this moment, Yang Haoran couldn't help but think of Xu Meijing. Initially, he thought Xu Meijing's aloofness was due to her personality, but now it seems that it's probably not just a personality issue.

More likely, it's because of Xu Meijing's excellence, so she was gradually isolated by other Night Watch members.

Yang Haoran smiled and greeted each of the other Night Watch members one by one. He appeared to be a clueless greenhorn, but his heart was clear as a mirror.

Some might think, since the other party is giving them the cold shoulder, why bother smiling back? It's already courteous of them not to beat them up.

But Yang Haoran wasn't that kind of person. In his opinion, no matter how skilled one's swordsmanship is, it's just a performance. Real killing often only requires one strike.

He didn't want to draw his sword unless it was necessary. Once he drew his sword, he would have to take the opponent's life!

His non-aggressive attitude would also serve as a certain assistance. It would make some self-righteous people relax their guard. For such people, Yang Haoran was confident that drawing his sword would make them choke.

As fellow members of the Night Watch, Yang Haoran didn't want to fuss over these things. As long as the other party didn't constantly pressure him and target him, he could completely pretend not to see it.

After all, his thoughts, his ambitions, were not something these people could understand.

Fortunately, Master Jiang had always been good to Yang Haoran, both in the past and now. This brought some comfort to Yang Haoran's heart.

After exchanging greetings with the other Night Watch members, Yang Haoran approached Master Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come here?"

"Divine envoy has commanded that tonight, except for the newly recruited members, all other Night Watch members must gather here before twelve o'clock," Master Jiang responded quietly.

Yang Haoran frowned and asked, "Gather here? Did they say what we're supposed to do here?"

Master Jiang shook his head. "I don't know. Divine envoy didn't say."

"Oh, by the way, why did you come here alone, and you even entered the ghost building alone? I saw you coming out just now, looking quite relaxed. The figure in the ghost building didn't give you any trouble? It's unlike her style!" Master Jiang looked at Yang Haoran with a puzzled expression, showing his confusion.

Yang Haoran didn't explain this issue but instead took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Master Jiang.

After a brief shake of the mobile phone, Yang Haoran put it away and then gave Master Jiang a meaningful look. Master Jiang was puzzled for a moment but then felt the vibration of his mobile phone and heard the notification sound.

At the same time, there was a ripple in the nearby space, and the space was torn apart. Several figures walked out of the crack, led by Deng Feng.

In addition to Deng Feng, there were several other seasoned Night Watch members.

Seeing Deng Feng appear, Yang Haoran gave Master Jiang another meaningful look before smiling and trotting over to Deng Feng.

Naturally, Yang Haoran's reaction attracted the disdain of the other Night Watch members. Master Jiang took this opportunity to take out his mobile phone and read the message. There were only four words on it.

"Find a way to escape!"
