Chapter 672: The Demon Hunter Association Arrives (1)
"Heh heh, your strength has increased significantly compared to when you fought the Cat Demon. Congratulations are in order!"
Yang Haoran approached Bai Xue, glanced at the Bull Demon's corpse on the ground, and then looked at Bai Xue with a smile.
"The demonic pills from minor demons can't compare to those from great demons, but after reaching a certain quantity, they still provide significant help to me."
Bai Xue smiled and responded, then took out the demonic pill from the Bull Demon's body. She initially wanted to keep the pill for herself, but hesitated for a moment before handing it to Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran looked at the demonic pill Bai Xue handed over, his face showing a puzzled expression.
"What's this for? This is your spoils of war, why give it to me?"
Bai Xue smiled and responded, "Ye Zhiqiu also needs demonic pills to refine demon spirit fluid to increase his strength. You can give it to him. I still have some unrefined demonic pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing spirit qi in my possession."
Due to past grievances, Bai Xue had never been too fond of Ye Zhiqiu, the demon hunter. Although their relationship had improved, Bai Xue still had some reservations towards him.
However, Bai Xue surprisingly took out her own spoils of war for Ye Zhiqiu's benefit, which made Yang Haoran curious.
Seeing Yang Haoran's puzzled expression, Bai Xue quickly explained with a smile."Don't misunderstand, I'm giving him this demonic pill only to help him increase his strength, so he can be of greater assistance to you. That's all."
After listening to Bai Xue's explanation, Yang Haoran smiled and didn't take the demonic pill. Instead, he took out the Cat Demon's demonic pill and handed it to Bai Xue.
"Ye Zhiqiu can take care of himself. He'll think of ways to increase his strength. You can refine these two demonic pills first, and he can handle the corpse."
Bai Xue heard this and smiled, wanting to say something, but Yang Haoran interrupted her.
"I have my reasons. You should listen to me. Hurry up and take these two demonic pills. The commotion we made earlier was quite loud, and people are already heading our way."
Seeing Yang Haoran's determination, Bai Xue's smile became even more charming. She didn't insist further and nodded at Yang Haoran, putting both demonic pills away in her independent space.
As for the Bull Demon's corpse, Yang Haoran stored it in his independent space, planning to give it to Ye Zhiqiu to handle later. Although he didn't leave the demonic pill for Ye Zhiqiu, the corpses of the two great demons were still extremely valuable. Not only could they be used to extract materials for refining demonic weapons, but the remaining parts could also be used to feed demonic weapons, increasing their power.
At the same time, Xiaokang and the other two rushed out from inside the barrier. Xiaokang was in the lead, and his emotions were the most excited.
"Uncle Yang, that was incredible Especially the three Ghost Techniques you used earlier I was dazzled!"
Xiaokang mentioned the three Ghost Techniques Yang Haoran had used earlier, which also piqued Bai Xue's interest.
"I've never seen the Underworld Envoy big brother use those three Ghost Techniques before. He's been hiding them deeply indeed."
Yang Haoran only smiled and didn't explain further. Instead, he looked in a certain direction.
Under his gaze, figures in black robes, characteristic of the Death God Temple's temple priests, quickly emerged from the mountain below and rushed towards the villa where Yang Haoran was staying.
Not only did Yang Haoran notice these Night Watch, but the others present also saw them approaching quickly.
"Xiu Juan, you go first and take the kid and Xiaokang into the barrier." Yang Haoran withdrew his gaze, looking at Xiu Juan, and said.
Xiu Juan accepted the order and immediately took Xiaokang and Feng Xiao into the barrier. Feng Xiao didn't react much, but Xiaokang was a bit reluctant, wanting to stay outside the barrier and take a look around. If Yang Haoran hadn't spoken up, and with Xiu Juan present, Xiaokang would have wanted to linger.
The three of them had just entered the barrier when a space rift appeared in front of them. Since they didn't know the identity of the person coming, Yang Haoran and Bai Xue were both on high alert.
However, when the person walked out of the space rift, their wariness dissipated, because it was Captain Luo.
Following Captain Luo, Master Wu brought a group of Night Watch and arrived at the villa, drawn by the commotion from the battle with the two great demons. The entire Lecheng city was in an uproar, and Yang Haoran's villa was at the center of it, so Captain Luo immediately put aside his tasks and came to investigate.
Yang Haoran was very grateful for Captain Luo's arrival and invited him to sit down inside the villa, but Captain Luo politely declined, saying he had many tasks to attend to. His intention was to help, and since the problem had already been resolved, he wouldn't stay long.
Yang Haoran understood and didn't press the issue. After Captain Luo left, Master Wu also departed with the Night Watch. Now, it wasn't just Captain Luo who was busy, but all organizations, including the Yin Division, were busy. Master Wu was shouldering all the trivial tasks, so Yang Haoran, as the Burial Master, could focus on his main duties.
Before leaving, Master Wu received a set of instructions from Yang Haoran and was given two soul pills. One was specially for Master Wu, and the other was to be distributed among the Night Watch according to their performance.
According to the usual rules, the Night Watch's performance wouldn't be enough to distribute a complete soul pill, but this was an extraordinary time, and they urgently needed pure yin qi to boost their strength. So, Yang Haoran made this decision.
With his current abilities, he could provide more soul pills to enhance the Night Watch's strength, but he couldn't do that because he didn't want to trouble himself.
He could only enhance the Night Watch's strength within a certain range. Excessive enhancement might strengthen the overall power of the Lecheng Yin Division, but in his view, the drawbacks outweighed the benefits, and it wasn't a good thing.
After the Night Watch left, only Yang Haoran and Bai Xue were left. Bai Xue was overjoyed to have obtained two great demon's demonic pills and was eager to refine them as soon as possible.
Yang Haoran, having inspected the three Ghost Techniques, considered the matter closed. The extent to which these techniques could be used in the future would depend on his own strength and application.
External affairs were temporarily handed over to Master Wu to handle. Yang Haoran had confidence in Master Wu's abilities and believed that with Master Wu in charge, there wouldn't be any problems. If a problem arose that couldn't be handled, he would step in later.
What he was most worried about now was the spirit masters lurking in the shadows. These guys were a headache because you never knew when they would suddenly attack.
Regarding this matter, Yang Haoran had no good solution except to wait for the spirit masters to take the initiative. Moreover, he had many things to attend to and couldn't focus all his energy on the spirit masters. If he did, he would ultimately be the one who suffered.
What he wanted to do now was to visit the Ghost Cave. He had cultivated a few ghosts, although not many, but they were a significant force. At critical moments, they could be of great use. He wanted to see how Tang Shi was arranging these ghosts under the current circumstances and bring them some good things.
"You go in first, I have some things to take care of outside. Leave the household to you." Yang Haoran saw the eagerness in Bai Xue's heart and said so.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue's face showed a curious expression, and she smiled coquettishly. "Hehe, in this chaotic world, it's not safe for you to go out alone. You should bring me along, and I can protect you on the way."
Bai Xue's words made Yang Haoran feel like crying and laughing at the same time. If they really encountered danger, who would protect whom was uncertain. However, he didn't say this out loud.
"You're not suitable to go, so you should go back and refine the demonic pills. Try to refine the two great demon's demonic pills in the shortest time possible, and your strength will increase significantly."
Yang Haoran smiled and politely declined, but before Bai Xue could respond, the two of them seemed to sense something simultaneously and looked in one direction.
