Realm of the Night God

Chapter 651: Exorcist Zhang Family

Although Yang Haoran had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked by the situation in Ancheng after arriving.

Ancheng was larger than Lecheng and more prosperous, but now it was even more severely damaged than Lecheng.

The once-prosperous streets were now in ruins, littered with trash, and the air was filled with a foul stench, like the smell of corpses mixed with other odors, making it unbearable.

Like Lecheng, Ancheng had also become independent, but whether the Administrative Bureau of Lecheng or Ancheng was more powerful, he was not sure.

Although the situation in Ancheng was beyond his expectations, he did not stop in his tracks. After all, he had come to Ancheng for a specific purpose, not to sightsee.

At that moment, he was standing outside the Death God Temple, not at Xu Meijing's villa. In his opinion, Xu Meijing was more likely to be in the Death God Temple under the current circumstances.

Moreover, even if Xu Meijing was not in the Death God Temple, he could ask other Night Watch members about her whereabouts. If they didn't know, he could always visit her villa later.

Yang Haoran couldn't help but sigh. If mobile phones were still working, this problem wouldn't have arisen. He could simply make a call, and all his questions would be answered.

Unfortunately, mobile phones not only couldn't make calls but also had an uncertain recovery time, leaving him, who had grown dependent on them, feeling somewhat uncomfortable without them.

Yang Haoran's appearance immediately caught the attention of the Night Watch in the Death God Temple. In this sensitive period, any movement would stimulate people's nerves, so as soon as he appeared, the Night Watch rushed out of the temple.At that moment, Yang Haoran was standing with his back to the main gate of the Death God Temple, looking down at the Ancheng city area. Suddenly, three figures emerged behind him, accompanied by the sound of breaking air.

"Who are you, and what brings you to our Death God Temple?"

A woman's voice came from behind him, her tone filled with caution.

The three of them sensed the Yin Qi surrounding Yang Haoran and detected the Yin spirit power on him. However, they did not relax their guard just because Yang Haoran's power fluctuations were those of a Yin spirit.

In the past, they would not have been so tense, as anyone who could emit Yin spirit power was considered one of their own. But times had changed, and even if Yang Haoran's power fluctuations were those of a Yin spirit, they still did not let their guard down.

Fortunately, Yang Haoran's power fluctuations were those of a Yin spirit; otherwise, the three of them might not have been so polite.

Of course, not all Night Watch members were so cautious, and it depended on who was leading them. Different Burial Masters would naturally produce different Night Watch teams.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran turned around with a smile, looking at the three people behind him, and then focused on the woman who had spoken.

After getting a clear look at Yang Haoran's face, the three of them suddenly changed their expressions, revealing that they all knew him.

"Greetings, Yang Divine Envoy!"

The three of them dropped their guard, their faces turning respectful, and they quickly bowed to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran smiled, his eyes falling on the leading woman, who was none other than Chu Jiu, the second-in-command of Ancheng's Yin Division.

"Hehe, I thought you had forgotten me. I didn't expect you to still remember me," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Yang Divine Envoy, your great kindness to our Ancheng Yin Division is unforgettable. Not only Chu Jiu but also the other Night Watch members you rescued will never forget. It's just that Chu Jiu didn't expect you to visit us in person, and we apologize for any offense. Please don't blame us, Divine Envoy!"

Chu Jiu hastily apologized, her face filled with regret. She had truly not expected Yang Haoran to come to Ancheng, as it was an extraordinary time, and each city's Burial Master was busy with their own affairs, without the leisure to visit others. So, when she sensed the Yin spirit power, she had not connected it to Yang Haoran.

"Hehe, it's okay. I appreciate your actions very much. In these extraordinary times, it's essential to remain highly vigilant at all times and not to let your guard down. You've done a great job."

Yang Haoran first praised the three of them with a smile and then asked, "I've come to find Divine Envoy Xu. Is she currently in the Death God Temple?"

"The divine envoy is not at the Death God Temple, she has taken several Night Watch members out, while I and other Night Watch members are staying behind at various Death God Temples to prevent a surprise attack by spirit masters," Chu Jiu replied.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged, with a smile still on his face.

"Do you know where she went?"

Chu Jiu hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering whether to reveal the information, but she only hesitated for a brief moment before deciding to tell Yang Haoran.

"Do you know about the Ancheng exorcist, the Zhang family?" Chu Jiu asked Yang Haoran instead of answering his question directly.

Yang Haoran nodded, indicating that he was familiar with the Zhang family, but Chu Jiu's question had sparked some doubt in his mind.

Ancheng had two major exorcist families, one being the Ma Family and the other being the Zhang Family. Although these families did not have many members, they were extremely renowned in Ancheng.

While both families were equally famous in Ancheng as exorcist families, their methods were completely different. The Ma Family excelled in array techniques, often using various arrays to counter enemies. In contrast, the Zhang Family specialized in spellcasting, with a focus on exorcising and eliminating evil spirits.

Apart from their differing methods, the two families also had distinct preferences. The Ma Family enjoyed playing with zombies, while the Zhang Family preferred to deal with ghosts.

Regarding the Zhang Family, Yang Haoran was aware of some information, but he had not had in-depth interactions with them, so his knowledge was limited.

"Did your divine envoy go to the Zhang Family?" Yang Haoran asked Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu nodded lightly, saying, "Yes, the divine envoy did go to the Zhang Family. Apparently, something major has happened at the Zhang Family, related to ghosts, which is why they sent someone to invite the divine envoy over."

Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he spoke, "The Zhang Family is known for dealing with ghosts, could it be that they've gotten themselves into trouble this time?"

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but why don't the divine envoy rest for a while at the temple? Once the divine envoy returns, I'll notify you immediately," Chu Jiu said.

Yang Haoran thought for a moment before shaking his head lightly.

"We don't know when the divine envoy will return, and waiting here is not a solution. I only know about the Zhang Family, but I don't know where they're located. Do you know?" Yang Haoran asked Chu Jiu.

"I know where the Zhang Family is located. Are you planning to go there personally?" Chu Jiu asked.

"That's correct, I'm planning to go there personally. This way, if the divine envoy encounters any trouble, I can lend a hand. Given the current situation, it's better to be cautious," Yang Haoran replied.

"Your words make sense, Yang Divine Envoy. If you go, and the divine envoy truly encounters danger, we can turn the situation around," Chu Jiu responded, then informed Yang Haoran of the Zhang Family's location.

After learning the Zhang Family's location, Yang Haoran did not hesitate, immediately tearing through space to head towards the Zhang Family.

This time, he had come to Ancheng to find Xu Meijing, hoping to meet her here and then travel with her to the underworld. However, not only did he not achieve his ideal outcome, but he also encountered unexpected complications. Although he felt some frustration, he still decided to visit the Zhang Family.

He couldn't be certain whether Xu Meijing would encounter danger, but in his view, her journey carried a certain level of risk. After all, the Zhang Family was known for dealing with ghosts, and they had sent someone to invite Xu Meijing due to a major incident involving ghosts. It was likely that the ghosts causing trouble were extremely powerful, which was why the Zhang Family had sought Xu Meijing's help.

He felt some unease, so he decided to visit the Zhang Family to assess the situation. If Xu Meijing truly encountered trouble, having him there would provide an additional helping hand.
