Realm of the Night God

"Do you want to witness my strength?" Yang Haoran's expression froze for a moment, then a hearty smile appeared on his face as he straightforwardly replied, "Sure!"

As the words left his mouth, Deputy Captain Zhou swiftly retreated towards the back, creating some distance from Yang Haoran. Soon after, a powerful force surged from within him.

Unlike Deputy Captain Zhou's intense reaction, Yang Haoran, still eating and drinking, looked at Deputy Captain Zhou with a smile. However, a mysterious Yin Qi suddenly appeared on the side of his body.

The Yin Qi rolled as if nurturing something, eerie and mysterious.

Deputy Captain Zhou's gaze fell on the Yin Qi, his smile disappearing, replaced by a serious expression. He sensed a terrifying power fluctuation within the Yin Qi.

"What's brewing in this Yin Qi is likely the soul weapon formed after someone from the Yin Division opened their heaven soul!"

Deputy Captain Zhou didn't dare to be careless. He fully unleashed his internal power, creating a powerful force that stirred up a gust of wind around him, making his clothes rustle.

Without taking out any tools, he concentrated the power within him to form something in front of him!

All eyes were drawn to Deputy Captain Zhou, as the force he emitted was so strong that it was hard to ignore.

On the other hand, Yang Haoran, apart from the conspicuous Yin Qi by his side, had no other noticeable features. More surprisingly, he continued to eat rabbit legs and drink wine, seemingly unconcerned, smiling as he watched Deputy Captain Zhou perform.

Some Spirit Police present showed excitement on their faces, confident in the strength of their deputy captain. They were not worried at all; instead, they appeared quite thrilled.

Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong, on the other hand, were a bit concerned about Yang Haoran. They knew the strength of their deputy captain but were unsure about Yang Haoran's abilities and feared he might be at a disadvantage.

The young woman standing in front of the female ghost couldn't help but show a worried expression. Although she was a Night Watch, she had only met Yang Haoran once and knew less about him than Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong. Seeing Deputy Captain Zhou preparing for a powerful move, she couldn't help but worry for Yang Haoran.

The only one not worried about Yang Haoran was Master Wu. Seeing Yang Haoran casually enjoying food and drink, he knew the situation was under control.

A copper coin sword slowly took shape in front of Deputy Captain Zhou. As the sword coalesced, the power fluctuation from Deputy Captain Zhou weakened, but the floating copper coin sword in front of him released an even stronger force.

Seeing Yang Haoran being so nonchalant, Deputy Captain Zhou's expression darkened. He felt that Yang Haoran was mocking him!

Although displeased, Deputy Captain Zhou reminded Yang Haoran with a serious face, "Yang divine envoy, brace yourself!"

As the words fell, the floating copper coin sword emitted a buzzing sound. Like an arrow released from a bowstring, it shot directly towards Yang Haoran!

Yang Haoran made no move, but a buzzing sound also came from his side. A black light shot out from the Yin Qi, colliding with the incoming copper coin sword.

In an instant, the sword was split in half, and the soul weapon, Moon Wheel, stopped in front of Deputy Captain Zhou.

Watching the Waning Moon so close, Deputy Captain Zhou stood frozen, then slowly realized the situation. His face showed shock!

This scene left everyone present in awe, including Master Wu.

Master Wu had speculated that victory belonged to Yang Haoran based on his reaction. However, having never seen Yang Haoran in action since becoming a Burial Master, he didn't know the extent of Yang Haoran's strength. Witnessing Yang Haoran in action now, he realized it surpassed his imagination by far!

Even Master Wu was shocked. The others in the room, especially the young woman in front of the female ghost, were trembling with excitement. Looking at Yang Haoran, their eyes were filled with admiration.

With such a powerful boss, not only did it bring pride to the subordinates, but it also elevated their status. No one dared to underestimate them.

As for the Spirit Police present, after the initial shock, disbelief appeared on their faces. Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong, who had some knowledge of Yang Haoran, were no exception.

The only one with no change in expression was Yang Haoran himself. Without mocking Deputy Captain Zhou, he simply retracted the Waning Moon with a thought.

The Waning Moon turned into a mass of Yin Qi and dissipated. Only then did Deputy Captain Zhou snap out of his shock.

This outcome made it difficult for him to step down, but he awkwardly chuckled and gave Yang Haoran a thumbs up.

"Haha, Yang divine envoy, your strength is beyond my imagination. Admire and respect!"

Yang Haoran also wore a smile and politely responded, "No need to flatter. It's just because you didn't go all out. If you had, the final result might have been different."

This reassurance eased Deputy Captain Zhou's mood. He was most worried that Yang Haoran would humiliate him in front of everyone. Yang Haoran didn't do that and even gave him a way out, which made Deputy Captain Zhou feel a bit relieved and somewhat favorable towards Yang Haoran.

Deputy Captain Zhou's perception of Yang Haoran changed fundamentally because he witnessed Yang Haoran's strength and recognized the gap between his own abilities and Yang Haoran's.

If Yang Haoran's strength didn't meet Deputy Captain Zhou's standards, his attitude towards Yang Haoran would definitely be different.

In this world, earning respect and recognition requires showcasing corresponding strength. Without a certain level of capability, one is likely to be overlooked, and it's nobody's fault but their own.

As the words fell, Yang Haoran finally finished devouring the rabbit legs in his hands, and the bottle of wine was emptied. Master Wu, with discerning eyes, handed him a tissue.

Expressing gratitude, Yang Haoran took the tissue, wiped his mouth and hands clean. At this moment, Deputy Captain Zhou burst into laughter.

"Haha, this evil spirit now belongs to Yang divine envoy. Handle it as you wish." With that, Deputy Captain Zhou looked at Wang Yiming and the other Spirit Police, saying, "Brothers, our training ends here tonight. Let's call it a day!"

Although some Spirit Police felt discontent, Yang Haoran's strength was evident, and with their deputy captain's decision, they didn't say much.

Seeing Deputy Captain Zhou preparing to leave with his team, Yang Haoran looked at Deputy Captain Zhou's back and spoke with a smile, "Deputy Captain Zhou, can we gather all the Spirit Police brothers tomorrow night for a casual get-together? Let's bond a bit. I've been occupied lately, and I hope you don't mind."

Deputy Captain Zhou paused, turned around to look at Yang Haoran, pondered briefly, then readily agreed.

"Sure! No problem! Our team leader has been wanting to meet you for a while. Tomorrow night is perfect!"

"Well then, I'll be waiting for everyone tomorrow night. As for the specific location of the gathering, I'll trouble Old Wu to inform everyone tomorrow," Yang Haoran said politely.

"No need for formalities, see you tomorrow night!"

Although not very old, Deputy Captain Zhou was quite experienced in handling matters. After agreeing to Yang Haoran's proposal, he led the Spirit Police away without hesitation.

Deputy Captain Zhou's courteous response not only left him with a bit of goodwill towards Yang Haoran, but it also eased the tense expressions on the faces of the Spirit Police. They weren't looking for a free meal or drinks from Yang Haoran; what they sought was an attitude. If Yang Haoran remained polite, they would naturally feel content.

After the Spirit Police left, Master Wu quickly bowed to Yang Haoran, showing a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Boss, I've embarrassed you this time."

Understanding Master Wu's meaning, Yang Haoran waved his hand and said, "If we're pointing fingers, it's my fault. It's my lack of consideration that led to this situation. I'm sure you've faced some criticism lately."

As Yang Haoran spoke, before Master Wu could say anything, the young woman's voice reached their ears.

"We have indeed faced a lot of criticism. The Spirit Police's attitude towards us is considered good; some exorcists treat us with outright hostility."

With these words, both Yang Haoran and Master Wu turned their gaze towards the young woman.

Master Wu wanted to reprimand her, but Yang Haoran stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Aren't they being too arrogant? Aren't they afraid of having a hard time in the future?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

The young woman was momentarily stunned but quickly realized.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Yang Haoran chuckled and said, "Now you know. Next time you encounter troublemakers, remember to remind them."

"Got it!" The young woman was excited, nodding vigorously.

"Wipe the blood off your mouth. Don't act impulsively in the future," Yang Haoran said. Then he turned to Master Wu, smiling, "Don't be too hard on her afterward. Just teach her a bit."

"Yes, Boss," Master Wu responded respectfully.

Yang Haoran nodded and shifted his gaze to the female ghost behind the young woman.

The female ghost, who had been silent all this time, felt an unprecedented pressure when Yang Haoran's gaze fell on her. The pressure was much greater than what Deputy Captain Zhou had exerted earlier.

She didn't know how Yang Haoran would deal with her. Feeling uneasy, her soul body turned into a mass of Yin Qi, directly diving into the dilapidated house behind her.
