Realm of the Night God

Chapter 646: Suspicion

At the South Lake Death God Temple, Yang Haoran stood at the highest point, gazing down at Lecheng below. Master Wu stood respectfully by his side, with ten selected Night Watch members behind them.

Although Yang Haoran had many more Night Watch members under his command, he had to leave some behind at each Death God Temple to guard against spirit masters' sneak attacks. The Night Watch members left behind couldn't be too weak, or else their own base would be vulnerable to attack, which would not only be a loss of face but also affect Luo Yao's opinion of him.

Although there was no news of spirit masters appearing during the day, it was uncertain whether they would show up at night.

"It seems Captain Luo has taken my advice," Yang Haoran said with a faint smile.

Master Wu hadn't been with Yang Haoran during the day, so he didn't understand the meaning behind Yang Haoran's words and didn't respond rashly.

Yang Haoran had suddenly spoken up because he had sensed many power fluctuations within Lecheng, which didn't seem to be from ghosts or demons. In his opinion, they should be official helpers.

Of course, he couldn't be certain if the reality was as he suspected, but he felt it was likely to be the case.

Turning around, Yang Haoran looked at the ten Night Watch members behind him, and Master Wu followed his gaze.

The ten Night Watch members, all clad in black robes, immediately revealed respectful expressions when Yang Haoran turned to face them.

"Everyone, tonight's mission, please prioritize your safety. While ensuring your safety, try to subdue as many ghosts as possible. I hope to see all ten of you alive and well in front of me tomorrow morning. Good luck.""Yes!"

The ten members responded in unison, their spirits high, with a hint of excitement.

Yang Haoran's Night Watch members, except for a few, were all carefully selected and educated by Master Wu. They were not only loyal but also very brave, willing to face even death without flinching.

It wasn't Yang Haoran's charisma that achieved this, but rather the result of Master Wu's long-term education.

Long-term ideological education, if done correctly, could completely change a person's mindset, making them fearless of death!

Seeing his Night Watch members' high morale, Yang Haoran felt very pleased.

"Good Let's move out!"

With Yang Haoran's order, a burst of air-piercing sound erupted, and the ten Night Watch members charged down the mountain towards Lecheng, disappearing into the night in a few leaps.

"Boss, I'll go into the city to keep an eye on them. If anything happens, I can lend a hand," Master Wu said.

Yang Haoran shook his head and smiled, saying, "You're injured, so take a good rest here at the South Lake Death God Temple. Don't worry about the city; I'll keep an eye on things."

"But your injuries..."

Yang Haoran waved his hand, stopping Master Wu from continuing.

"My injuries have almost fully recovered, and it's not an easy task to let you stay at the Death God Temple either. If the spirit master appears tonight, the Death God Temple will undoubtedly be their top priority. So, while you're recovering here, you should also remain vigilant and not let your guard down."

Master Wu nodded in agreement, and Yang Haoran had already said as much, so he naturally didn't want to say anything more.

That night, the intermittent gunfire didn't cease, accompanied by human screams, wailing ghosts, demon laughter, and various explosive sounds from clashing powers. The entire Lecheng was shrouded in a eerie, hellish atmosphere.

In such an environment, all ordinary people were plunged into panic. They had lost their bravado from the day before and were now cowering in fear at home. Some couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and had a mental breakdown, becoming neurotic.

The terrifying night passed, and the sun slowly rose, dispelling the darkness but unable to dispel the fear in the hearts of ordinary people.

The sunlight cast its warm glow on the earth, bringing comfort to the world, but it couldn't warm the numerous cold, broken corpses.

Unlike the previous day, not a single pedestrian or thug could be seen on the streets today. Instead, there were broken roads, twisted streetlights, collapsed buildings, and scattered limbs. Some tree branches even had human heads hanging from them, the dead staring blankly into space.

The mournful wails, terrified screams, painful curses, and mad laughter echoed faintly in the air above Lecheng, a sense of desolation pervading every corner of the city.

However, this was only the beginning. No one knew what the future held for this world – perhaps it would recover its former prosperity or become even more desolate.

The Lecheng authorities had been busy all night, and some ordinary police officers had made the ultimate sacrifice while executing their duties. The number of injured police officers and soldiers was not small.

The Spirit Police had not suffered any fatalities, and even the number of injured Spirit Police was minimal. This was because no powerful enemies had appeared last night, and the authorities had also enlisted the help of many allies. As a result, the Spirit Police had not suffered significant casualties.

As for Yang Haoran's Night Watch, ten members had gone out the previous night and all returned this morning. Although most of them had suffered some injuries, they were fortunate to have made it back alive.

In addition, the Night Watch had achieved a significant harvest last night, subduing many ghosts, most of which were undead. The two evil spirits they had captured were a notable achievement.

Yang Haoran had not returned to his villa the previous night, instead staying in the city to oversee the situation until all the Night Watch members who had gone out on missions returned. After confirming that they were not seriously injured and gathering detailed information about the previous night's events from the Night Watch, he left the Death God Temple and returned to his villa.

As for Master Wu, he did not follow Yang Haoran back to the villa. Although the spirit master had not appeared, Master Wu was still on high alert, making adjustments to the Night Watch's tasks based on the previous night's situation.

Yang Haoran had witnessed Master Wu's hard work and, although he didn't say anything, he had taken note of it all. He would certainly reward Master Wu when the next batch of soul pills was ready.

After returning to his villa, Yang Haoran habitually went to his study, brewed a cup of tea, and sat in contemplation.

The previous night, he had stayed in the Lecheng city area to prevent any unexpected situations. If a powerful figure had emerged, threatening his Night Watch or the Death God Temple, he could respond immediately.

He also wanted to see if the spirit master would appear, and then follow up to gather more useful information.

To avoid exposing himself, he had sealed his powers, although his sensing ability still existed. However, he was disappointed that he had not sensed anything valuable the entire night.

After the Night Watch returned in the morning, he had gathered more information about their experiences, hoping to gain some useful insights, but ultimately, he was disappointed again.

Helpless, he could only temporarily return to his villa and wait for developments.

At this moment, he was deep in thought, wondering what the Lecheng spirit master was up to and why they had not appeared.

If he were to say that Lecheng had no spirit master, he would not believe it himself. In his opinion, Lecheng must have a spirit master, but the exact number was unknown.

Since they existed but did not appear, what was the difference from before?

Just as Yang Haoran was pondering this question, he suddenly sensed something and, with a flick of his hand, retrieved the Yin Division iron book from his independent space.

Looking at the quivering Yin Division iron book, he slightly furrowed his brow, then stretched out his hand to lightly tap the book from a distance.
