Realm of the Night God

Chapter 682: What's Needed is Loyalty

Yang Haoran took out the five great demon pills at this time, naturally intending to give them to Bai Xue and Ye Zhiqiu.

Originally, he had just prepared to take out the five great demon pills, but was embarrassed by Bai Xue and Ye Zhiqiu's teasing, and only wanted to leave quickly, so he forgot about it. Now that he remembered, he immediately took out the pills.

The five great demon pills, he planned to give three to Ye Zhiqiu and two to Bai Xue. Adding the pills obtained from killing two great demons earlier, Bai Xue would get a total of four pills, one more than Ye Zhiqiu.

However, Yang Haoran also left Ye Zhiqiu with the corpses of two great demons, so the benefits they received were not vastly different.

Yang Haoran had planned and acted accordingly, but Ye Zhiqiu refused him because of his own considerations and pride.

Yang Haoran wasn't surprised by Ye Zhiqiu's refusal, having dealt with him for a while and understanding his quirky temper.

However, in the current chaotic situation, it wasn't one's pride that could ensure survival, but one's actual strength. If one's strength was insufficient, the more pride they had, the faster they would die, and even more miserably. Some people even specialized in dealing with proud individuals. Only with actual strength could one have the capital to survive and not be eliminated by the turbulent times.

Yang Haoran, of course, didn't want to see Ye Zhiqiu lose his life during a mission or fall behind in strength, so he tried to persuade him.

Bai Xue could roughly guess Yang Haoran's thoughts, and although Ye Zhiqiu's refusal to accept the pills only benefited her, she also spoke up to persuade him, considering Ye Zhiqiu's importance to Yang Haoran.

Under their persuasion, Ye Zhiqiu finally accepted only one great demon pill and the two corpses, refusing any more.Helpless, Yang Haoran could only follow Ye Zhiqiu's decision.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to increase my strength and won't hold you back," Ye Zhiqiu said calmly to Yang Haoran before leaving the study room.

After Ye Zhiqiu left, Bai Xue also hurried back to her bedroom. She now had six great demon pills, plus some unfinished minor demon pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing Heaven and Earth spirit qi, so she wanted to refine them all as soon as possible.

Once she refined everything, her strength would soar, and she was certain she would surpass Ye Zhiqiu by a mile, and maybe even surpass Yang Haoran.

If she really did surpass Yang Haoran, her weight in his heart would definitely increase by a level.

But she didn't know that Yang Haoran, with his soul-refining cauldron, was like a gamer with a cheat code - not easily surpassed.

After Bai Xue left, Yang Haoran took Xiaokang and left the study room, calling Xiu Juan over and taking out two soul pills. He gave one to Xiu Juan and one to Xiaokang.

The two were extremely excited, especially Xiaokang, who was so happy he jumped up from the ground. Although he had never owned a soul pill before, he knew how precious it was, and it was only natural he was thrilled to receive one for the first time.

Yang Haoran was a bit reluctant to part with his soul pills, but he thought it necessary for the safety of the two and himself.

After leaving the villa, Yang Haoran directly tore through space and headed to the Ghost Cave.

Earlier, he had killed the Fair Young Man in an instant, then closed his heaven soul and put away his soul weapon, Waning Moon. Similarly, when Bai Xue and Ye Zhiqiu killed the woman, it only took a few breaths, and they didn't make a big scene, so no one came to help or watch.

Yang Haoran had been hoping for this outcome in his heart. If he had really attracted other people to come, it wouldn't be a good thing for him. At that time, he would have to waste a lot of words, and it's possible that the other party would even become suspicious.

After arriving at the Ghost Cave, Yang Haoran saw Tang Shi, and all the ghosts were inside the cave. Tang Shi hadn't sent them out.

In a stone chamber, Yang Haoran sat on a stone chair, leaning back slightly, while Tang Shi stood respectfully in front of him, reporting on the recent work.

"Due to the recent chaotic situation, I didn't send out the other ghosts, but instead kept them in the Ghost Cave to learn."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran smiled and nodded. He had come to the Ghost Cave today for this very reason.

"It's best not to go out recently. The chaotic era has just begun, and all sorts of demons and snake deities are emerging. Going out now would be more harmful than beneficial, and it's possible that we would even lose ourselves. I came today to remind you, lest you accidentally lose my entire team. It seems I was worrying too much."

The ghost team led by Tang Shi was one of Yang Haoran's trump cards, and its effect on him was extremely important. Therefore, he didn't want to see these ghosts encounter any accidents.

Although the team's overall strength was still limited at present, he had confidence in letting them grow stronger and become a deadly sword in his hand.

"Please be at ease, master. I will definitely not disappoint you. Since you have entrusted this team to me, I will do my best to make them grow quickly!" Tang Shi guaranteed, his tone filled with confidence.

"Heh heh, I naturally believe in you, but sometimes considering the severity of the situation, it's unavoidable to have some worries in my heart. By the way, how's the recent learning progress?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"The progress is very smooth. Apart from ideological education, I've also been strengthening their combat training. Through ideological education, we're enhancing their loyalty, and through combat training, we're enhancing their overall strength." Tang Shi replied.

"Heh heh, ghosts practicing combat sounds a bit fanciful, but combining it with their unique abilities, they might really be able to unleash unexpected power." Yang Haoran smiled and said.

"This is certain. I can guarantee to master that if you have time, you can come and inspect their combat abilities at any time. You'll definitely be surprised by their changes. By combining their abilities with combat, their fighting power will far surpass that of ghosts of the same level who haven't practiced combat techniques."

After saying this, Tang Shi paused slightly before continuing.

"Since ghosts don't have physical bodies, even if they wear a flesh vessel, it's just an empty shell. No matter how they're trained, the power of the flesh vessel can't be enhanced, which means the power of combat can't be truly unleashed. This is a major flaw. However, as long as they master combat techniques and practice their killing skills to perfection, they can greatly enhance their overall combat power. It's not an empty promise."

The principle Tang Shi mentioned was naturally understood by Yang Haoran, as they had discussed this before, and he had agreed with Tang Shi's approach.

"Heh heh, the training hasn't been going on for long, and it's still too early to inspect your results. After all, training isn't a simple matter. No one can become a master in just three to five days. You should focus on training them well, and I'll also give you enough time to train them. When I think the time is right to see the results, I believe you won't disappoint me."

Tang Shi guaranteed again, his tone filled with confidence.

"Compared to their combat power, I'm more concerned about their loyalty to me. If their combat power is weak, there are many ways to enhance it, and I'll also try my best to change this. But if their loyalty is insufficient, that would be troublesome. You should understand what I mean."

"Understood, I'll prioritize their loyalty. If the people I bring out betray you, I'll definitely take responsibility with my life!" Tang Shi said.

Tang Shi had already died once, and what he meant by "taking responsibility with my life" was naturally referring to his soul scattering.

"Heh heh, it's not necessary to be so serious. I cultivated you, not to let you prove anything to me with your death, but to hope that you can unleash your own abilities and become my right-hand man. We'll walk towards a bright future together."

Yang Haoran smiled and said, then took out three soul pills from his independent space.
