Realm of the Night God

Chapter 588: Reference of Strength

To know the strength of that Spirit Master, it was natural to start from the female ghost in front of him.

Yang Haoran didn't know the strength of that Spirit Master, but this didn't mean the female ghost was completely unaware of it. As long as he asked the female ghost, he would have a rough idea of that Spirit Master's strength.

"How strong is that Spirit Master?" Yang Haoran asked directly.

"Extremely powerful, but as for how powerful... I don't know how to describe it," the female ghost replied.

Yang Haoran's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the female ghost's answer was somewhat unsatisfactory to him.

Seeing Yang Haoran's displeased expression, the female ghost hurriedly spoke up: "Although I don't know how to describe it, I can confirm that I couldn't last a single round in his hands."

In Yang Haoran's view, the female ghost's words were almost like nonsense. Although she was a malevolent spirit, she was only a low-level spirit who had just broken through from an evil spirit, and her strength was limited. It wouldn't be a problem for Yang Haoran to deal with her, even in a single round.

So, the female ghost's words didn't provide much help. To gain a more specific understanding of that Spirit Master's strength, he might need to find a reference point for the female ghost.

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Haoran decided to open his Heaven Soul. Since the female ghost was already in his hands, it didn't matter if he showed her his true strength.

"Heaven Soul, open!"With a low shout, the Heaven Soul opened, and a fierce gust of yin wind suddenly swept across the area. Visible yin energy rose from Yang Haoran's body, and a ball of yin energy churned beside him, containing his soul weapon, Waning Moon. The power fluctuations released from his body also increased significantly.

Feeling the terrifying power fluctuations emanating from Yang Haoran, the female ghost's face changed color. If Yang Haoran had used such powerful strength when dealing with her earlier, the battle might have ended before it even began.

"Compared to me now, how strong is that Spirit Master?" Yang Haoran asked, looking at the female ghost.

"Should I tell the truth?" the female ghost asked, somewhat uncertain.

As soon as the female ghost spoke, Yang Haoran knew that his current power was far from that of the Spirit Master. Otherwise, the female ghost wouldn't have asked that question.

However, he couldn't determine how much weaker his current power was compared to the Spirit Master's from the female ghost's words. So, he continued to ask: "I understand what you mean, but you don't need to worry that I'll get angry or embarrassed because my strength is inferior. There are many people stronger than me in this world, and I can accept that others are stronger than me. Similarly, I can accept that I'm stronger than others. So, I hope you can speak the truth without any reservations."

The female ghost didn't dare to speak, only nodding her head, because she couldn't determine whether Yang Haoran's words were true or false.

Yang Haoran didn't care whether the female ghost believed him or not. Seeing her nod, he continued to ask: "How much weaker is my current strength compared to that Spirit Master's?"

"It's... much weaker, not only weaker than him but also weaker than Yunchuan City's Burial Master," the female ghost replied.

Yang Haoran nodded to indicate his understanding. Then, he stopped suppressing his power, driving his yin spirit power to the extreme, releasing an even more intense power fluctuation. The yin energy emanating from his body became even more concentrated, and the temperature within the barrier dropped drastically, filling the entire area with a chilling, yin-cold energy that could make spirits tremble.

Feeling the power fluctuations emanating from Yang Haoran, the female ghost's soul body trembled. If Yang Haoran's previous strength had shocked her, his current strength was terrifying her.

"What's the situation now?" Yang Haoran continued to ask.

"Compared to that spirit master, I'm still a bit weaker, but compared to Yunchuan City's Burial Master, the gap has narrowed significantly," the female ghost replied hastily.

Yang Haoran nodded again, and he didn't continue to press for more information because he had already gotten a sense of the situation. So, he dispersed his power and returned to his normal appearance.

From the information he got from the female ghost, it seemed that this spirit master's strength was stronger than his and Yunchuan City's Burial Master, but it was still far from reaching the peak of a spirit master.

As for his own strength, it was not only weaker than this spirit master but also slightly weaker than Yunchuan City's Burial Master. However, the gap between them was not huge.

After getting a rough idea of this spirit master's strength, Yang Haoran felt a sense of relief. Although the opponent's strength was significantly stronger than his, as long as they hadn't reached the peak of a spirit master, he could still accept it. After all, he wasn't the only one who came to Yunchuan City to support the Burial Master, and he wasn't the only one who could be a match for this spirit master.

In Yang Haoran's opinion, whether it was Shi Kai or Boss Huo, their strengths should be above his, especially Boss Huo, whose strength should be the strongest among the three of them. Compared to Boss Huo, this spirit master's strength might even be inferior.

With Boss Huo leading the charge, or even Shi Kai, the experienced Burial Master, Yang Haoran felt that he didn't need to flee immediately. Staying in Yunchuan City to reap some benefits shouldn't be a problem.

After getting a sense of the situation, Yang Haoran asked the female ghost about other matters. He still had some unanswered questions in his mind, and if he could clarify everything on the female ghost, that would be the best.

The female ghost cooperated, answering Yang Haoran's questions one by one, telling him everything she knew. Yang Haoran thus gained a deeper understanding of the entire situation.

The recent chaos in Yunchuan City, where the Yin Division Burial Master was captured, was a long-planned action. The organizer was the spirit master mentioned by the female ghost.

This spirit master's strength surpassed Yunchuan City's Burial Master, and he could have taken care of Yunchuan City's Burial Master alone. However, he didn't do so. During the capture of Yunchuan City's Burial Master, he brought many people, including spirit masters and ghosts summoned by spirit summoning, among whom the female ghost was a member.

This spirit master did so for two reasons. One was to ensure the success of the operation, as they had the power to prevent Yunchuan City's Burial Master from escaping, even if they had three heads and six arms. Moreover, if any unexpected events occurred, they had enough power to resolve the issue.

The second reason was that this spirit master wanted to use the capture of Yunchuan City's Burial Master to boost the morale of other spirit masters and ghosts. He wanted to show them how he captured Yunchuan City's Burial Master.

For spirit masters and ghosts, the capture of an Underworld Envoy was a visual feast, enough to boost their morale!

Capturing Yunchuan City's Burial Master was just one part of their plan. This time, they not only wanted to capture Yunchuan City's Burial Master but also to destroy Yunchuan City's Death God Temple and create as much chaos as possible.

To increase their influence, they spread rumors of Yunchuan City's Burial Master's disappearance, causing panic in Yunchuan City's Yin Division. This was also a message to other spirit masters and ghosts, implying that Yunchuan City's Burial Master might be dead, trapped, or gone to another place, and no one dared to confirm.

Without a Burial Master, Yunchuan City's Yin Division was severely limited in power. With this spirit master's strength, he could have destroyed all the Death God Temples in one night, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to create chaos gradually, like boiling a frog in warm water, to achieve his goals.

Since capturing Yunchuan City's Burial Master, he had not appeared in public. Initially, it was the other spirit masters and ghosts who created chaos, and after Yunchuan City's Burial Master seemed to have really disappeared, some spirit masters and ghosts took the initiative to join in, adding fuel to the chaos.

These spirit masters and ghosts joined in because they not only wanted to vent their anger against the Yin Division's oppression but also to reap more benefits. Once chaos broke out, there would be deaths, and whether it was for spirit masters or ghosts, there were benefits to be gained.
