Realm of the Night God

Chapter 624: Rushing Back to Lecheng

Tonight, when cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Haoran had already prepared to hand over the spoils of war.

At this moment, Boss Huo took the initiative to take out the spoils of war, which showed that his thoughts were in line with Yang Haoran's.

Luo Yao looked at the two of them taking out the soul gathering beads, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"What are you doing?"

Boss Huo wanted to speak, but this time Yang Haoran preempted him.

"These are the spirit masters and their Guardian Spirits that we killed tonight. If we hand them over to the divine envoy, we might be able to get some information out of them."

Although Yang Haoran had preempted him, Boss Huo didn't want to give up on speaking. As soon as Yang Haoran finished speaking, he immediately chimed in.

"That's right, these spirit masters and their Guardian Spirits might know something that could be helpful to the divine envoy."

Luo Yao understood their intentions and lightly waved his hand, not taking the soul gathering beads from them.

"They're just spirit masters who were summoned tonight, and they don't know much. If I question them, I won't get any valuable information, and it'll just be a waste of my time. So, you two can just keep these soul gathering beads as a reward for your hard work in supporting Yunchuan City."As he said this, Luo Yao suddenly remembered something and looked at Yang Haoran.

"You did a good job this time. If you hadn't contacted me in time, you two might have already been killed. You should also thank him." He then looked at Boss Huo and said, "You should thank him too."

"My life, as well as Boss Huo's, was saved by the divine envoy. If we should thank anyone, it's the divine envoy. I don't have any merits."

Yang Haoran slightly bowed his head, his attitude humble and modest, without any intention of seeking credit.

"You're doing quite well. Although you're just a newcomer, I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work." Luo Yao first praised Yang Haoran, then continued, "I'll leave now. You two should hurry up and do what you need to do, but be careful. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, remember...... don't gamble with your life."

Under the two men's respectful sendoff, Luo Yao tore through space and left. He had said earlier that he needed to go to the Jingling Continent to discuss strategies with other Guardians, and if he didn't need to confirm some information with the two of them and remind them to be careful, he would have left earlier.

After the space rift healed, Yang Haoran and Boss Huo slowly lifted their heads, then looked at each other and exchanged a smile.

However, their smiles didn't seem as simple as those between good friends, but rather gave off a profound feeling.

"Since the divine envoy doesn't want these spoils of war, we two can divide them up."

Boss Huo's face wore a faint smile as he spoke to Yang Haoran, not waiting for Yang Haoran's response before lightly waving his hand and storing a small portion of the soul gathering beads in his independent space.

Yang Haoran watched this scene, smiling as he said, "You took too few, Divine Envoy Huo."

"It's about right. If you hadn't notified Divine Envoy Luo in time, I might have already died at the hands of that great spirit master tonight." Boss Huo smiled as he said.

"One thing at a time, we should still follow the rules we set earlier. Besides, you contributed the most tonight." Yang Haoran also smiled as he spoke.

"Yang Divine Envoy is too polite, but since Yang Divine Envoy has said so, I can only accept with a thick face." Boss Huo's smile grew thicker, no longer refusing.

"No need to be polite, this is what you deserve." Yang Haoran responded with a smile, making a please gesture towards Boss Huo.

Boss Huo nodded, smiling as he took his share, while Yang Haoran collected his own portion.

Yang Haoran was unwilling to take more soul gathering beads, not because he was being generous, but because he didn't want to have too much entanglement with Boss Huo.

"I'll leave the follow-up work here to Boss Huo. I'll head back to Lecheng first, to avoid any trouble brewing there." Yang Haoran said goodbye after collecting his soul gathering beads.

"Alright, I don't have much time either. I need to complete my task before dawn, or I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life. Let's part ways here, and we can cooperate again if we have the chance." Boss Huo said with a friendly smile.

Yang Haoran nodded, also smiling, but his thoughts were different. He was truly unwilling to cooperate with Boss Huo again in the future.

This time, he almost lost his life here. If he hadn't called Luo Yao in advance, his friends and family would be mourning his death now. So, he was genuinely unwilling to have any further cooperation with Boss Huo.

Previously, he thought Boss Huo was similar to him, both being cunning and good at disguising themselves. However, this encounter made him realize that he was more cautious than Boss Huo, and Boss Huo was more confident than him.

Under Boss Huo's smiling gaze, Yang Haoran tore open the space rift and left Yunchuan City. Whether Boss Huo could handle the follow-up issues was his problem, and Yang Haoran didn't want to get involved.

This trip to Yunchuan City had brought him significant gains. The spirit master's soul and the ghost were just secondary; the most important thing was that Luo Yao, the Guardian, had developed a better impression of him, which would greatly help his future plans. It wasn't something that could be compared to a few soul gathering beads.

Of course, this trip was also full of danger. If Luo Yao hadn't arrived in time, he would have been dead by now. The probability of him escaping successfully was very low, and he was clear about that in his heart.

Being alive was a good thing, and also his good fortune. However, new dangers were approaching, and he would fall into a deep abyss if he wasn't careful.

He was vigilant in his heart, but not afraid, because this world was full of dangers everywhere. Fear would only hold him back.

After returning to Lecheng, before dawn, Yang Haoran entered the barrier of the villa and immediately sensed several power fluctuations.

There were Ye Zhiqiu's star spiritual power, Bai Xue's Demonic Qi, Xiu Juan's Yin Qi, and Feng Xiao's power fluctuations. However, he didn't sense Old Wu and Xiaokang's Yin spirit power.

His appearance was also sensed by several people, because he hadn't sealed his power fluctuations.

At this time, except for Ye Zhiqiu, who was recovering from injuries, the others were in a state of half-rest and half-cultivation. After sensing Yang Haoran's power fluctuations, Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly while lying in bed.

"Is this guy's breath weak? Could he have been injured?"

Thinking this, Ye Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, but didn't get out of bed, instead closing his eyes as if he hadn't sensed Yang Haoran's return.

Bai Xue, Feng Xiao, and Xiu Juan, on the other hand, walked out of their bedrooms and rushed towards Yang Haoran's location.

In just a few breaths, the three of them arrived in front of Yang Haoran, seeing that his clothes were tattered and stained with blood, his face pale. The three of them changed their expressions greatly.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, what happened to you?" Bai Xue asked in shock, her eyes revealing strong concern.

Feng Xiao and Xiu Juan also showed concern on their faces, wanting to ask questions, but Yang Haoran waved his hand to stop them.

"I'm fine. Where are Old Wu and Xiaokang?"

Yang Haoran didn't sense Master Wu and Xiaokang's presence in the villa, and he was worried, so he immediately asked.

"Old Wu took Xiaokang out to guide the undead after dark. Is there a problem?" Xiu Juan asked, seeing Yang Haoran's reaction.

"Call them back immediately." Yang Haoran said.

Xiu Juan was puzzled, but she could see that something big must have happened tonight, so she didn't hesitate, nodding in response and immediately taking out her mobile phone to call Old Wu.

At this time, Yang Haoran turned his gaze to Bai Xue and asked, "Didn't you go out on a mission tonight?"

Bai Xue didn't know why Yang Haoran would suddenly ask this question, and although she was puzzled and curious, she still shook her head.
