Realm of the Night God

Chapter 572: The Hat Man

Several people's skeptical faces were seen by Yang Haoran, who wore a smile on his face, his expression unchanged, without any dissatisfaction towards their doubts.

"Stand up, who among you is the proxy divine envoy of Yunchuan City?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the group straightened up, with the leader taking a slight step forward and bowing to Yang Haoran again.

"In response to the divine envoy, I, the old lady, am the proxy divine envoy of Yunchuan City," replied an elderly woman. She was petite, around 5 feet 1 inch tall, with a hunched back, holding a curved wooden cane, and stood out among the group.

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded at the old lady, then asked, "Have all the Night Watch of Yunchuan City assembled?"

The old lady did not immediately answer Yang Haoran's question, instead, her face showed hesitation.

Yang Haoran knew that the old lady still had some doubts about his identity, which was why she looked hesitant and did not answer his question immediately.

"You don't need to doubt my identity, I am indeed Lecheng's Burial Master Yang Haoran," Yang Haoran said with a smile, then slightly released some Yin spirit power.

Feeling the Yin spirit power emanating from Yang Haoran, although it was not as powerful as imagined, it reduced the old lady's doubts, and her hesitant expression also subsided.

This amount of Yin spirit power was not enough to prove Yang Haoran's identity as Burial Master, but in the old lady's view, it was sufficient to prove that Yang Haoran was one of their own.Although the old lady wanted Yang Haoran to provide more substantial evidence to prove his identity as Burial Master, she was afraid of offending him and did not dare to make such a request.

As the second-in-command of Yunchuan City's Yin Division, she was well aware of their current dire situation. With Yang Haoran's arrival to provide support, regardless of whether he was the real Burial Master or not, it was all beneficial to them.

Moreover, having lived to her age, she had seen many people and felt that Yang Haoran did not seem to be lying through his words and actions. Therefore, she chose to answer Yang Haoran's question.

"There are still 15 people who have returned to their respective areas to count the casualties and handle the aftermath of the believers who were harmed. Seven people are in a coma due to severe injuries and are currently receiving treatment. We were discussing countermeasures before the divine envoy arrived, and as soon as we learned of the divine envoy's arrival, we rushed over," the old lady replied.

"Tell them to put aside their current tasks and gather here as soon as possible," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"What's the urgency, divine envoy?" the old lady couldn't help but ask.

"There will be two more Burial Masters arriving soon, so it's best to gather all the Night Watch here before they arrive."

Upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, not only did the old lady's face light up with joy, but the other Night Watch also showed ecstatic expressions.

"I'll get it done right away!"

The old lady's face was filled with surprise, and she quickly arranged for the on-site Night Watch to contact the absent Night Watch. They made several phone calls, and soon the task was accomplished.

"Divine envoy, all Night Watch have been notified and are on their way here. Is there anything else you'd like to instruct?" the old lady asked, her attitude towards Yang Haoran having undergone a subtle change compared to before.

Yang Haoran noticed the old lady's change and simply smiled without pointing it out.

"Have the workers outside leave, there are many things that cannot be known to them," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The old lady received the order and immediately arranged for the temple priest of the Death God Temple, who was standing beside Yang Haoran, to handle the matter.

This person didn't hesitate, bowed to Yang Haoran, and then walked towards the main gate of the temple.

A short while later, the Night Watch returned, paid the workers their wages, and let them leave.

The workers were puzzled, as they hadn't finished their work, but they were still happy to receive their pay. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they took the money and left with big smiles on their faces.

It was a rare good thing to receive the agreed-upon payment without finishing the work, and not having to continue with the subsequent tasks. They had every reason to be happy.

Time passed slowly, and other Night Watches arrived at the Death God Temple, making the small temple bustling with activity.

These Night Watches looked at Yang Haoran with a mix of respect and doubt. They didn't know Yang Haoran, and since they hadn't seen his abilities, they couldn't help but question his identity.

Yang Haoran didn't plan to explain himself further. He didn't have the mood to prove his identity to every Night Watch. He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and waited for the other Night Watches to arrive, as well as the two Burial Masters.

He waited for two hours.

During these two hours, the fifteen Night Watches arrived at the Death God Temple, but the two Burial Masters were nowhere to be seen.

Yang Haoran didn't react at all. He sat on the ground, looking like he was asleep, as if everything happening outside didn't concern him.

The Night Watches on the scene were getting anxious, but since Yang Haoran was in charge, they could only endure their anxiety in silence.

Although Yang Haoran didn't show off his abilities in front of the Night Watches, his calm and composed demeanor had a deep impact on them. Therefore, they all respected Yang Haoran and didn't dare to make any noise.

After about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Yang Haoran slowly opened his eyes and looked towards a nearby empty space.

The Night Watches on the scene focused their attention on Yang Haoran, and when they saw him open his eyes, they all turned to look in the same direction.

The space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a rift appeared in the area they were looking at. A figure emerged from the rift and walked out.

This person wore a leather jacket and a duck-billed cap, which covered half of his face, revealing only his mouth and the stubble on his chin.

Although they couldn't see his face clearly, the Yin spirit power emanating from him was extremely strong. Except for Yang Haoran, everyone else was shocked by the power emanating from this person.

After the initial shock, they were replaced by extreme joy!

The person was a Burial Master who had come to support them from the Yunchuan City Yin Division. His abilities must be extremely strong, and since he was so powerful without even releasing his heavenly soul, he would be even more formidable when he did. They had every reason to be overjoyed.

In recent days, they had been very passive, and the Yunchuan City Yin Division's reputation was about to be ruined. Under such circumstances, the arrival of such a powerful Burial Master was a huge relief, and they had no reason not to be overjoyed.

"Welcome, divine envoy!"

The old woman was the first to react, then quickly knelt down on one knee to pay her respects to the newcomer.

The old woman's reaction was a reminder to the other Night Watches, and they all reacted similarly, kneeling down on one knee to pay their respects.

"Welcome, divine envoy!!"

Their voices were loud and clear, revealing their strong excitement, which was different from their reaction to Yang Haoran earlier.

No wonder, as Yang Haoran's power emanation was not strong, and except for the first Night Watch who saw him, the others hadn't seen his abilities, so they had some doubts about his identity and abilities.

Now, with the appearance of this Burial Master, his strong power emanation was tangible, which was why they were so excited.

The man in the hat didn't pay attention to the Night Watches. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, looked up towards Yang Haoran's position, and fixed his gaze on Yang Haoran.

The space rift behind him disappeared, and he vanished, only to reappear in front of Yang Haoran.
