Realm of the Night God

Chapter 567: Yunchuan City

After careful consideration, Yang Haoran made a decision. He first called Master Wu, gave him some instructions, and then prepared some things. Afterwards, he left the villa and traveled through the space rift to Yunchuan City, as mentioned by Ye Zhiqiu. Yunchuan City was a medium-sized city, with a larger area and population than Lecheng. Due to its size, Yunchuan City was more complex and hidden, with many secrets. After experiencing several space rifts, Yang Haoran successfully arrived in Yunchuan City. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he found a secluded spot within the city to exit the space rift. Under his perception, he did not sense the presence of ghosts or the spiritual power released by spirit masters. The situation in Yunchuan City was completely different from what Ye Zhiqiu had described, and it was not chaotic at all. Instead, it was peaceful and calm.

Yang Haoran, of course, would not judge Yunchuan City solely based on this. He knew that the city's current tranquility was due to it being daytime, and ghosts and spirit masters would not appear during the day. Weak ghosts would suffer damage to their soul bodies in the sunlight, while powerful ghosts would be suppressed by the sun's presence. Even spirit masters and Underworld Envoys would have their abilities affected during the day. However, once night fell, the situation would reverse. At night, the yin energy would dominate, and the strength of these groups would not be suppressed but rather enhanced. Therefore, the current peace in Yunchuan City did not necessarily mean that the city was truly calm, but rather that it was the calm before the storm.

Moreover, to avoid unnecessary trouble, organizations like the Yin Division and Spirit Police would usually set up restrictions before taking action. Only a few individuals or organizations would act recklessly, without regard for these restrictions. Especially the Spirit Police, who would try to conceal the noise of battles to avoid causing panic among the people. If they could not conceal it, the authorities would provide a reasonable explanation afterwards.

Currently, Yunchuan City seemed peaceful, but it was possible that many places were engaged in brutal battles, which were simply not detectable due to the restriction barriers. Yang Haoran understood this principle, so he did not deny the information provided by Ye Zhiqiu just because he had not sensed anything unusual. He had a plan, which, if successful, would bring him immense benefits. However, to implement this plan, he needed to confirm the situation of Yunchuan City's Yin Division, especially whether the Burial Master had truly disappeared as rumored.

To confirm this, he needed to find a Night Watch, which would prove the truth of the rumors. The best way to find a Night Watch was to visit the Death God Temple. After exiting a secluded alley, Yang Haoran casually asked a passerby and learned the location of the nearest Death God Temple. With this information, he did not hesitate and immediately hailed a taxi to head to the temple.

A moment later, Yang Haoran arrived at the nearest Death God Temple. This Death God Temple was not large in scale, and could even be said to be very small. Compared to the size of Yunchuan City, this Death God Temple was definitely not the largest in Yunchuan City, but rather a small, ordinary temple. At the entrance of the Death God Temple, there were no believers coming or going, but instead, some workers were repairing the damaged temple gate. Looking at the broken temple gate, Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged, but he had some suspicions in his heart. The gate was not damaged due to years of neglect, but rather, it was intentionally destroyed, suggesting that this Death God Temple had likely experienced a battle recently. With this thought in mind, Yang Haoran's footsteps did not stop, and he walked towards the broken temple gate. Along the way, the laughter and chatter of several workers also reached his ears. The workers were chatting and laughing while working, which seemed to be their hobby, and also their habit. Their voices were not soft, and even though Yang Haoran was still some distance away, he could hear their conversation clearly.

"You guys are saying that this is really strange. What's going on with the Death God Temples in Yunchuan City these days? It seems like they're all under construction, one broken here, one rotten there. It's really hard to understand."

"Heh heh, you're quite well-informed, knowing about the situation of other Death God Temples in the city."

"How can you say that? I've been in this line of work for half my life, and I have countless colleagues in Yunchuan City. I may not dare to say anything about other things, but when it comes to this aspect, my information is quite accurate."

"Haha, you're bragging a bit too much. If you're so capable, why can't you figure out what's going on?""I only know that something's going on, but I don't know what exactly. You're laughing so smugly, do you know what's really going on?"

"Heh heh, I do know some inside information. I heard that it's all because of believers from other religions. They have different beliefs and teachings, and they can't stand each other, so they're causing all this trouble. But I think it's all about their own interests, leading to conflicts between them."

"Haha, what you said makes sense, but I don't know which other religion you're referring to."

"I don't know either I'm not a god, how could I know everything?"

"Haha, I thought you knew everything. We're all just guessing, so let's not pretend to know everything."

"This isn't just a wild guess, I have a basis for what I'm saying. You guys think about it carefully, and see if what I said makes sense..."

Among the workers' laughter and chatter, Yang Haoran arrived at the entrance of the Death God Temple. The workers who were repairing the gate were still chatting and laughing, and they directly ignored Yang Haoran, continuing to work and chat. However, one of them did glance at Yang Haoran.

"Hey, kid, be careful not to get hit by a brick. This gate isn't repaired yet, and it's still very dangerous." A dusty old man among the workers warned Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded in response, saying, "Thanks for the warning. I'll be careful. By the way, can I go in? I want to pay my respects to the Death God."

"You can go in if you want, no one's stopping you." Another worker replied while continuing to work, without even looking at Yang Haoran, with a tone that seemed to have some disdain.

Compared to the previous worker, this one's attitude seemed somewhat worse. However, Yang Haoran didn't take it to heart, because he felt that he didn't need to bother with an ordinary person like that. Moreover, he didn't have the time to bother with ordinary people.

"Haha, thanks." Yang Haoran not only didn't take offense, but even smiled and thanked him, before stepping into the Death God Temple. The worker who had spoken earlier glanced at Yang Haoran's back, muttering, "Young and foolish, not knowing how to behave, following a religion like this. I think he's doomed for life."

After speaking, the worker continued to chat and laugh with his colleagues, and his muttering was, of course, heard by Yang Haoran. However, Yang Haoran seemed not to have heard it, and he walked slowly, without any hesitation, his expression unchanged.
