Realm of the Night God

Chapter 590: Shi Kai's Disappearance

Looking at the soul gathering bead floating in front of him, which had turned pitch black, Yang Haoran's expression was somewhat brilliant.

His gaze lingered on the soul gathering bead for a moment, and then he smiled, shook his head, and put it away.

As for how to deal with the female ghost, he hadn't decided yet, but under the current situation in Yunchuan City, he was absolutely not going to let her go, no question about it.

The rain was still pouring down, and the thunder was still booming, becoming even more intense compared to before.

Yang Haoran removed the restriction barrier, and as the barrier disappeared, the situation inside was revealed to the outside world. The dilapidated residential building vanished, leaving only a pile of rubble.

Due to the barrier's presence earlier, the sound hadn't reached the outside world, and since there were no residential homes nearby, even though the dilapidated building had mysteriously turned into a pile of rubble, no one had discovered it.

Yang Haoran stood amidst the rubble, looking in another direction. He not only felt the strong Yin Qi released by the ghost but also sensed several power fluctuations, although they were slightly weaker. According to his estimate, these people shouldn't be a match for the ghost.

Yang Haoran couldn't determine who was releasing these power fluctuations, but one thing was certain - they were likely friends, not foes.

Since learning some information from the female ghost, Yang Haoran's vigilance had increased. The Burial Master of Yunchuan City was more powerful than him and had been caught off guard by the spirit master. If he were also targeted, the outcome might not be much different from the Burial Master's.

He wouldn't leave Yunchuan City for now, as there were benefits to be gained, but his own safety was also crucial. He couldn't afford to capsize in the gutter, only to regret it later.Currently, he sensed the Yin Qi and power fluctuations intertwining, so he decided to go take a look. However, for safety's sake, he wouldn't reveal himself immediately, lest he fall into a trap. He would observe from the shadows for a while, ensuring there were no issues, and then appear to capture the ghost, minimizing the risk as much as possible.

With a plan in mind, Yang Haoran didn't delay. He first sealed his power fluctuations and then headed towards his destination.

Although sealing his power slowed him down, Yang Haoran's physical body had undergone modifications, and the mutated Death Mark Seal had also helped him significantly. Even with his power sealed, his speed was still far beyond that of a normal person. He disappeared into the night after a few jumps.

The only drawback was that sealing his power meant he couldn't project a protective shield on his body, making it impossible to avoid getting drenched in the heavy rain.

Yang Haoran didn't know how chaotic Yunchuan City was last night, as he had only arrived today. However, he could sense how chaotic it was tonight.

The heavy rain continued until dawn, and when it stopped, the chaotic Yunchuan City returned to normal.

Due to the all-night downpour, Yunchuan City was flooded, and the impact of last night's chaos was attributed to natural disasters by the authorities.

Although some things couldn't be explained by the flood, the authorities had spoken, and ordinary people could only accept it. Besides, even if they didn't accept it, what could they do?

Ordinary people just wanted to live their lives, and the unexplainable events became mere dinner conversation. Not many people were willing to spend time digging deeper.

Inside the Death God Temple, Yang Haoran and Boss Huo gathered together, along with an elderly woman representing the Yunchuan City Yin Division. However, Burial Master Shi Kai was nowhere to be seen.

After capturing the female ghost with the soul gathering bead last night, Yang Haoran rushed to the next location where Yin Qi was erupting. When he arrived, several Spirit Police were surrounding a ghost.

This ghost was not a malevolent spirit, but it was close to becoming one. The Spirit Police's abilities were limited, and they were at a disadvantage against the evil spirit, which had set up an illusion that left them bewildered.

At the time, Yang Haoran did not intervene, instead observing from the shadows to prevent any tricks. He only stepped in when the Spirit Police were on the verge of collapse, using his powerful methods to forcefully capture the evil spirit with the soul gathering bead.

If the Spirit Police had not been on the brink of collapse, Yang Haoran would have continued to observe from the shadows. However, he chose to intervene to prevent any loss of life.

After capturing the evil spirit, Yang Haoran briefly interacted with the Spirit Police, exchanging a few words. People who do good deeds without seeking recognition often leave immediately after completing their task, leaving behind only a fleeting impression.

However, Yang Haoran did not leave immediately. Instead, he revealed himself to the Spirit Police, wanting them to know who had saved them and to remember his kindness. Who knows, maybe one day they would be able to return the favor.

Although the Spirit Police seemed weak to Yang Haoran, he couldn't guarantee that there weren't any talented individuals among them who might rise to prominence in the future and remember his kindness.

In a sense, Yang Haoran's actions were a way of cultivating good karma.

After bidding farewell to the Spirit Police, Yang Haoran sealed his power fluctuations and carefully made his way to the next location where Yin Qi was erupting.

He completed two more tasks, and the heavy rain gradually subsided as the sky began to brighten. The Yin Qi eruptions also ceased, and he finally returned to the Death God Temple, where they had gathered the previous day.

Over the course of the night, Yang Haoran's harvest was considerable, to say the least. If he weren't being modest, his harvest was truly astonishing. He had completed six tasks, capturing three malevolent spirits and three evil spirits, a feat he never thought possible in such a short time.

Yang Haoran's harvest was bountiful, and Boss Huo and the elderly woman also had their own gains, although they didn't mention it. Yang Haoran learned about their gains from other Night Watch members, and while the elderly woman's gains were not significant, Boss Huo's were substantial.

All three of them had gained something, and they had even fought a fierce battle the previous night. Logically, they should have been overjoyed, but instead, their faces were filled with worry.

The reason for their concern was Shi Kai's disappearance.

The previous day, the four of them had divided their tasks clearly. Boss Huo was responsible for dealing with enemies that threatened the Death God Temple, while the elderly woman assisted him in taking out as many enemies as possible within the temple. Yang Haoran and Shi Kai were in charge of handling the ghosts that appeared in Yunchuan City, dividing the area between them to increase efficiency. However, Yang Haoran did not have any Night Watch members with him, while Shi Kai had several Night Watch members assisting him.

This morning, Shi Kai had not returned to the Death God Temple, and his phone was unreachable. The Night Watch members who had been with him revealed that they had been together until dawn, when they parted ways.

At the time, Yunchuan City had already returned to peace, and since Shi Kai was the Burial Master, they didn't dare to ask about his whereabouts. They assumed Shi Kai had returned to the Death God Temple ahead of them, but it turned out that he hadn't.

"Two seniors, what do you think about Shi Kai's disappearance?" Boss Huo asked, looking at Yang Haoran and the elderly woman.

"Perhaps the divine envoy Shi Kai was delayed by some matter and hasn't returned yet," the elderly woman replied after some thought.

This explanation was unconvincing, not just to Boss Huo and Yang Haoran, but even to the elderly woman herself.

Boss Huo did not respond to the elderly woman's explanation, instead turning his gaze to Yang Haoran.
