Realm of the Night God

If an ordinary person were to witness the scene before them, even if not frightened to death, they would likely carry an indelible shadow for the rest of their lives.

However, Yang Haoran and his group of six were different. They were accustomed to such situations, so while the scene made their expressions more serious, there was no fear in their hearts.

The crazy woman continued to violently vomit, long strands of hair flowing from her mouth, extending all the way to the ground. Her appearance was grotesque, with bloodshot eyes and tears streaming down one by one.

Although she was insane, she was still alive. Vomiting so much hair and shedding tears were not particularly surprising given her condition.

Not to mention shedding ordinary tears; even if she were shedding tears of blood at this moment, none of the six present would be surprised.

After about ten minutes of vomiting, the crazy woman's retching finally stopped. In front of her lay a pile of black hair, sticky with mucus and blood vessels, looking repulsive.

The reason her belly could hold so much black hair without protruding like a normal person's was due to the hex.

Despite the circumstances, the crazy woman surprisingly didn't die. This was attributed to her own strength. She was already a formidable black talisman master. Although she was hexed and driven mad, surviving was not particularly surprising. After all, everyone had some life-saving means.

After completely expelling all the hair from her stomach, the crazy woman seemed to be emptied in an instant and fell into a deep unconsciousness.

Seeing the crazy woman pass out, Yang Haoran's thoughts shifted, and the black chains surrounding her shattered, dissipating into strands of Yin Qi.

Without the black chains holding her in place, the crazy woman collapsed limply to the ground. Yang Haoran then turned his gaze to Deputy Captain Zhou.

"She's completely unconscious now. As for how long she'll be out and whether she'll recover when she wakes up, I don't know. How to handle her is up to you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Deputy Captain Zhou nodded, gesturing for a Spirit Police officer to come over. He then spoke, "Although she appears to be a victim, it's hard to say whether she's involved in this incident. Take her back first and let Captain Luo handle it. We still need to go up the mountain."

The Spirit Police wasted no time. After acknowledging Deputy Captain Zhou's orders, he hoisted the crazy woman onto his back, enduring the foul stench emanating from her.

"Remember, get her to Captain Luo as quickly as possible. She's a black talisman master. Even if she wakes up weak, you won't be able to defend against her. If there's any issue, you might lose your life!" Deputy Captain Zhou warned before the Spirit Police left.

"Rest assured, Deputy Captain. Among all the Spirit Police, besides you and Captain Luo, no one can surpass my speed. I'll make sure to get her into Captain Luo's hands in the shortest time possible!" The Spirit Police assured confidently before swiftly leaving, covering a hundred meters with a few leaps, demonstrating genuine speed.

The other three Spirit Police, following Deputy Captain Zhou's instructions, entered the humble earthen house where the crazy woman lived, seemingly hoping to find something.

"From the videos we watched earlier, it seems the dilapidated temple on the mountain is the main focus. But with Yang, the divine envoy, around, I feel a lot more at ease. Haha, after this is over, we must have a good drink. My treat!" Deputy Captain Zhou laughed, addressing Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran merely smiled without saying anything. The uncertainties they would face next and whether they could leave this place alive were unpredictable. Such thoughts couldn't be voiced.

A moment later, the three Spirit Police walked out of the earthen house, shaking their heads at Deputy Captain Zhou, indicating they hadn't found anything significant.

Disappointment was evident on the faces of the three Spirit Police, but neither Yang Haoran nor Deputy Captain Zhou showed any change in expression.

"Divine envoy Yang, let's go. We'll head up the mountain to check out that dilapidated temple," Deputy Captain Zhou suggested.

"Before heading up the mountain, let's visit the old farmer's house from the video. Maybe we'll find something there as well," Yang Haoran proposed, aligning with Deputy Captain Zhou's initial thoughts. Regardless of the other party's identity, they would find out once they ascended the mountain.

However, after seeing the hex on the crazy woman's belly, he felt it was prudent to be cautious.

Because this matter is very likely related to the Monster Clan, and although his Yin Spirit power restrains ghosts, it has no effect on the Monster Clan. Once facing a Monster Clan of the same level, he won't just be suppressed, but he won't gain any advantage.

Therefore, to avoid a mishap, he feels it's better to be cautious.

Yang Haoran only watched the video once, but he examined it very carefully. Before the anchor Kuai Le was killed, an old man appeared. Although the mobile phone didn't capture the old man's appearance, through the conversation between Kuai Le and the old man, Yang Haoran could confirm that the old man was the old farmer Kuai Le encountered in the village.

Because of this, Yang Haoran decided to visit the old farmer's house.

Deputy Captain Zhou didn't reject Yang Haoran's suggestion. The group of five then arrived at the old farmer's house. Comparing the video, they were certain they were in the right place.

No one was in the old farmer's house. Yang Haoran wasn't surprised by this because, upon arriving, he sensed through his abilities that, except for the earthen house where the crazy woman was, there was no sign of life in the other houses.

Yang Haoran didn't come here to catch the old farmer because that wasn't realistic. His main purpose was to see if there were any other discoveries.

Upon entering the old farmer's earthen house, Yang Haoran sensed a faint demonic energy, which was not noticeable when he hadn't approached the area before.

Apart from the faint demonic energy, Yang Haoran found nothing else in this small earthen house. Finally, with no other choice, he had to leave.

The group of five left the old farmer's earthen house and headed towards the mountain where Kuai Le had the incident the previous night.

For ordinary people, climbing a mountain is time-consuming and strenuous. However, for Yang Haoran and his group of five, the mountain Kuai Le climbed was no different from a small hill.

With their strength, reaching the mountaintop was easy. Especially for Yang Haoran, who could directly tear through space to teleport. However, none of them rushed to the mountaintop at top speed. Instead, they controlled their pace as they approached.

Because they all knew that the real danger lay within this mountain. Charging recklessly to the top would bring them no benefits and might even cost them their lives.

Therefore, as they entered the mountain, they checked for ambushes, observed escape routes in advance, and prepared for the worst. If they were overpowered, they couldn't just stand there and get killed.

Their caution naturally slowed down their pace. Still, even with this caution, their speed was several times faster than an ordinary person. Soon, they reached the halfway point.

From the foothills to the halfway point, they found nothing unusual—no sense of demonic energy, no Yin Qi, and no ambushes. This left the five with some doubts in their minds.

However, not long after entering the halfway point, Yang Haoran suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his brows couldn't help but slightly furrow.

Seeing Yang Haoran suddenly stop, Deputy Captain Zhou and the others immediately became vigilant, also halting their steps.

In their eyes, if Yang Haoran stopped at this moment, he must have made some discovery!

"Divine envoy Yang, what's wrong? Did you sense something?" Deputy Captain Zhou asked.

"I sensed a faint trace of Yin Qi." Yang Haoran did not conceal it, speaking openly.

"Yin Qi? Where? On the mountaintop?" Deputy Captain Zhou inquired.

Yang Haoran sensed Yin Qi that they didn't. Deputy Captain Zhou wasn't surprised by this, as Yin Division personnel excel in perceiving Yin. Moreover, Yang Haoran wasn't an ordinary Night Watch but a Burial Master, making his perceiving Yin ability stronger.

Although not surprised, Deputy Captain Zhou was curious. He wondered where Yang Haoran sensed the Yin Qi.

In his view, the Yin Qi was most likely from the mountaintop. That's why he asked at this moment.

However, Yang Haoran shook his head, denying his speculation.
