Realm of the Night God

Chapter 643: Prejudices Dissipated

Watching the two great demons escape, Bai Xue felt unfulfilled, but since Yang Haoran had spoken, she naturally wouldn't pursue them.

Moreover, Yang Haoran's reminder wasn't without reason. The situation at night was still unknown, and it was necessary to conserve some strength.

Green demonic spiritual power emanated from Bai Xue's body, and her massive physique quickly shrunk, transforming from a snake to a human form. Her snow-white arms and slender legs appeared in succession.

However, this sight only lasted for an instant, and soon her entire body was enveloped in a layer of green light. It was impossible to see anything else, not even her hands or legs; only a human-shaped green light was visible.

In the blink of an eye, the green light dissipated, revealing Bai Xue dressed in Spirit Police attire, with a mask on her face.

"Big brother Underworld Envoy arrived just in time; if you were any later, I might have been in trouble," Bai Xue said to Yang Haoran with a charming smile.

"Enough, don't try to flatter me. Let's go check on Captain Luo's situation. Your condition is much better than his; compared to him, he's the one who's truly in trouble."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, then flew towards Captain Luo, enveloped in Yin Qi.

Bai Xue watched, her face expressionless, but still followed closely behind Yang Haoran.

When they arrived at Captain Luo's side, the other Spirit Police saluted Yang Haoran, who smiled in response before turning his attention to Captain Luo."How are you? Are your injuries not serious?" Yang Haoran asked, his face habitually carrying a hint of a smile.

"It's not a big deal; I'll be fine after some treatment when we get back," Captain Luo replied with a wave of his hand, smiling.

Although Yang Haoran could see that Captain Luo's injuries were not light, he wasn't overly concerned, as the Spirit Police had their own medical team.

"Those two great demons were incredibly powerful. If Bai Xue hadn't single-handedly borne the cat demon's attacks, we would have been in trouble this time."

A Spirit Police officer spoke, his tone a mix of gratitude and fear, clearly still shaken by the recent battle.

"Bai Xue sister really went all out this time. If she hadn't intervened in time, I would have lost my life today. I'll never forget this debt of gratitude."

Another Spirit Police officer chimed in, even saluting Bai Xue to express his heartfelt thanks.

"If we're talking about debts of gratitude, who among us doesn't owe Bai Xue a life, including me and Captain Luo? It's uncertain if we'll have the chance to repay this favor in this lifetime."

Deputy Captain Zhou spoke, and the other Spirit Police present didn't refute his words, instead nodding in agreement, including Captain Luo. This showed that Deputy Captain Zhou's words were not unfounded.

Yang Haoran was somewhat surprised to hear these words from Deputy Captain Zhou, as he had initially had a poor impression of Bai Xue, with significant prejudices. However, it seemed that Deputy Captain Zhou had finally laid these prejudices to rest.

Regarding Deputy Captain Zhou's initial prejudices against Bai Xue, Yang Haoran had indeed not misjudged. Initially, Deputy Captain Zhou had strongly opposed Bai Xue's entry into the Spirit Police, and it was only after Captain Luo's guidance that he didn't voice his opposition. However, his internal prejudices against Bai Xue hadn't dissipated.

It wasn't just him; initially, all Spirit Police officers, except for Captain Luo, had some degree of prejudice against Bai Xue, who was a demon that ate humans.

To prevent internal conflicts, Captain Luo had done a lot of ideological work among the Spirit Police, hoping they could put aside their prejudices against Bai Xue.

Captain Luo's approach at the time had only temporarily suppressed the conflicts without erupting, but it hadn't eliminated the other Spirit Police officers' prejudices against Bai Xue.

The real reason why the Spirit Police eliminated their prejudice against Bai Xue was that Bai Xue had saved their lives time and time again, pulling them back from the brink of death. This had completely eradicated their bias against Bai Xue.

Not only had their prejudice been eliminated, but Bai Xue had also gained a significant status within the Spirit Police organization, second only to Deputy Captain Zhou's position. In the eyes of some Spirit Police, Bai Xue's status was even on par with Deputy Captain Zhou's, except that Bai Xue didn't hold an official title.

Yang Haoran was naturally unaware of these internal Spirit Police matters, but he could see that, apart from Deputy Captain Zhou and Captain Luo, the other Spirit Police were showing great respect to Bai Xue.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's save our thanks for the next celebration. What we're experiencing now is just the beginning, and the situation will only get worse tonight. We mustn't be complacent and think that everything is over," Captain Luo reminded them.

The other Spirit Police nodded in agreement, while Yang Haoran maintained his smile and asked Captain Luo, "Do you have a good plan for what's to come, Captain Luo?"

Captain Luo shook his head, looking helpless, and said, "Everything has happened too suddenly. Our previous plans are useless now. We'll head back to Spirit Police headquarters immediately to reassess our strategy and seek guidance from above. If we can get some support from above, that would be best. Otherwise, it'll be tough for us to make it through the night."

As Captain Luo finished speaking, his expression turned grim, his brows furrowed.

By "above," Captain Luo was referring to Lecheng's Administrative Bureau, which used to be under the Highest Administrative Court's jurisdiction. However, with the Highest Administrative Court now dissolved, Lecheng's Administrative Bureau had become independent, making it the only "above" Captain Luo could refer to.

"You don't have to worry about this, Captain Luo. I have a suggestion, haha. Why don't you give it a try?" Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Captain Luo's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Please, Yang Divine Envoy, do tell."

"Haha, although our Lecheng is just a small temple, it's home to many gods. With the current chaos, including riots and evil spirits running amok, you'd think other sects or organizations would do something. Have you seen anyone from other teachings or organizations taking action?"

Yang Haoran seemed to suddenly remember something and lightly tapped his forehead before continuing, "I met someone from the Holy Mother Church earlier, but I haven't seen anyone from other sects yet."

Captain Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "If they're not willing to help, there's nothing we can do. In the past, we could have given them a nudge and even used our official status to pressure them, but things are different now. They might not listen to us."

Yang Haoran chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I disagree with your view, Captain Luo. Although the situation has changed, Lecheng is still here, and you still represent the official authority. They want to continue operating in Lecheng, but if they don't maintain a good relationship with the authorities, how will they proceed in the future?"

Captain Luo didn't respond immediately, instead, he furrowed his brows in deep thought. Yang Haoran continued to smile and speak.

"To be blunt, Captain Luo, don't take offense. Even if the Administrative Bureau has fallen, Lecheng will still have an official presence, just with a new group of people in charge. If other sects want to spread their teachings in Lecheng, they can't afford not to maintain a good relationship with the authorities. Otherwise, how will they carry out their work? Unless they decide to abandon Lecheng for good. But do you think they'll do that?"

After a pause, Yang Haoran continued, "Although the current situation is chaotic, your Administrative Bureau is still standing. As long as it doesn't fall, it remains Lecheng's official authority. By taking the initiative as the official authority, other sects will at least give you some face, even if they have hidden intentions. They need to maintain a relationship, after all, and can't afford to burn their bridges. Of course, this doesn't include sects that have never taken the official authority seriously."

This time, Captain Luo didn't remain silent and nodded in appreciation, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, Yang Divine Envoy."

"It's just my personal opinion, take it for what it's worth," Yang Haoran said with a smile, then turned his attention to Bai Xue, taking out a Death God pendant from his independent space and handing it to Bai Xue.

"Wear this, and you can take off the previous Death God pendant. If you encounter any danger, remember to activate this pendant."
