Chapter 713: Extracting Information
Currently, in this small town, all the villagers believe in the Spirit God, which is their spiritual pillar.
The Spirit God Temple is where they pray to the Spirit God and can also be understood as a place where they seek comfort in this chaotic world.
The villagers spent a lot of time and effort building the Spirit God Temple, sweating and shedding tears, and also invested their emotions. It was the fruit of their labor, but now, Yang Haoran had turned their hard-won achievement into nothing.
Perhaps to others, Yang Haoran's actions seemed cruel, but he himself didn't think so. After all, their standpoints were different, and from his perspective, he had to do this.
If he didn't do this, the number of Spirit God Temples in Lecheng would increase, and so would the number of Spirit God believers. When the time came, he would be held accountable, and it would definitely bring him negative consequences.
After destroying the Spirit God Temple, Yang Haoran didn't take any further action and tore through space to leave the area, returning to his villa.
After returning to the villa, Yang Haoran took out the souls of the Old Town Chief and another spirit master. Their souls were still in a dormant state, and to obtain more information about the spirit master, he directly forced their souls to awaken.
Although this method would cause some damage to the souls, Yang Haoran didn't care, as it wasn't his soul that was being damaged.
Through the ghost eye and interrogation, Yang Haoran obtained a lot of information, which was very helpful to him at the moment.
The Old Town Chief was indeed the former town head of the small town, which was a fact. However, the villagers were unaware of his identity as a spirit master, and he had never revealed it to anyone.Because the Yin Division was a powerful organization, if his identity was exposed, it would bring him deadly danger.
A few days ago, a spirit master came to the small town to secretly preach, and in front of this spirit master, the Old Town Chief voluntarily revealed his identity as a spirit master.
After confirming the Old Town Chief's identity, the spirit master was very happy and invited the Old Town Chief to work for Spirit God, to be loyal to Spirit God, and to believe in Spirit God.
Upon learning of Spirit God's existence, the Old Town Chief was also very happy, as a leader had finally emerged among the spirit masters. Under Spirit God's leadership, they might be able to turn the tables and replace the current Yin Division, becoming the new Yin Division in the Heaven and Earth.
Additionally, the spirit master told the Old Town Chief about the benefits of being loyal to Spirit God, and the Old Town Chief, who was already happy about this, didn't hesitate and decided to be loyal to Spirit God from then on.
From the spirit master's mouth, Yang Haoran learned that their top priority was to recruit more believers for Spirit God, to make more people believe in Spirit God, so that the Spirit God they believed in would become even stronger.
After discussing in private, they decided to set up a scheme to make the villagers believe in Spirit God. They would first release ghosts in the town to harm people, then the spirit master would appear to exorcise the ghosts, and finally, the Old Town Chief would be responsible for brainwashing the villagers, successfully making them all believe in Spirit God.
However, the Old Town Chief still didn't reveal his identity, and in the villagers' eyes, he was just an ordinary Old Town Chief.
But in the eyes of the spirit master, the Old Town Chief was a remarkable person, not only ruthless and cunning but also intelligent, and most importantly, much stronger than him. Therefore, the spirit master had great respect for the Old Town Chief, at least on the surface.
However, to conceal Old Town Chief's identity and avoid exposure, Old Town Chief referred to him as a divine envoy in front of outsiders, and he indeed cooperated quite well.
The residence of this spirit master was found by Old Town Chief, who, to be on the safe side, had set up a formation flag in a hidden location around the old building. If anything unexpected happened, this formation flag could still come into play.
When Yang Haoran arrived in the small town, Old Town Chief had actually recognized him at first glance, but he didn't reveal it.
He knew that Yang Haoran's arrival was definitely aimed at them spirit masters, so he put on an act and took Yang Haoran to another spirit master's temporary residence, intending to get rid of Yang Haoran in one fell swoop.
In his opinion, Yang Haoran was just a newcomer to the Yin Division, and although he had been the Burial Master for several years, his strength was still limited, and he even thought that Yang Haoran's strength was definitely not as good as his.
He was very confident in his own strength, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to find trouble at Yang Haoran's residence, which was not far from the town center. If they fought, the power fluctuation would spread, and other helpers would definitely come to assist, which would not be beneficial to him.
Moreover, Yang Haoran's residence was definitely protected by a Great Array, which naturally added to the difficulty of killing Yang Haoran, so for safety's sake, he didn't blindly go to find Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran taking the initiative to come to him was exactly what he had in mind, and it was also within his calculations.
Because when the Night Watch discovered the Spirit God Temple that night, he had sensed the existence of this Night Watch. Originally, he was going to take the Night Watch's life, but in the end, he didn't do so and let the Night Watch leave.
He knew that the Night Watch would definitely report the Spirit God Temple incident to Lecheng Yin Division, and they would send someone to handle it. He could take action later, giving Lecheng Yin Division a good lesson.
It was precisely because of this consideration that he didn't choose to take action that night and instead let the Night Watch who discovered the Spirit God Temple leave.
But what he didn't expect was that this would actually bring Yang Haoran, the top figure of Lecheng Yin Division, to his doorstep, and what's more, Yang Haoran came alone. At that time, he didn't feel the slightest fear, but instead was extremely excited and thrilled!
If he could kill Yang Haoran here, it would be a great achievement, even greater than making the entire town believe in Spirit God and building the Spirit God Temple. After all, Yang Haoran was the Burial Master of Lecheng Yin Division.
Once Yang Haoran died, Lecheng Yin Division would definitely be in chaos in the short term, and without a Burial Master, Lecheng Yin Division would be a paper tiger. They spirit masters could then take advantage of the opportunity to take down Lecheng Yin Division!
So, he took Yang Haoran to the old building where the Great Array had been set up in advance. This Great Array was originally meant to be a precautionary measure, but he didn't expect it to come in handy, which made him secretly proud of his own cleverness.
However, in his opinion at the time, he might not even need the Great Array to kill Yang Haoran, because he thought his own strength was enough to kill Yang Haoran, and there was another spirit master in the old building.
When Yang Haoran was fighting the spirit master, he didn't immediately take action. One reason was that he wanted to see how much Yang Haoran was capable of, and the other was that he wanted to use a sneak attack to kill Yang Haoran, so he chose a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Yang Haoran.
The plan was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Old Town Chief never dreamed that Yang Haoran's true strength would be so powerful that he couldn't resist, even when he used all his strength and had the Great Array to sneak attack. In the end, he still couldn't kill Yang Haoran and even lost his own life, with his soul being forcibly extracted by Yang Haoran.
However, there was one thing he didn't lie about, which was that another spirit master was indeed preparing to go to other towns to preach, and as for the small town where Old Town Chief was, it was left to Old Town Chief to take care of.
Unfortunately, this spirit master didn't have time to leave before Yang Haoran, the Burial Master, arrived, and Old Town Chief even took the initiative to bring him over, ultimately leading to his death.
Yang Haoran, apart from understanding the causes and consequences from the two of them, also gained a general understanding of why the spirit master had not emerged in Lecheng, how many spirit masters Lecheng currently knew, how many were sent to preach, how many were originally from Lecheng, how many believed in Spirit God, and how many didn't.
After extracting all the information from the two, Yang Haoran left the villa and headed to the Ghost Cave, handing over the two souls and their Guardian Spirits to Tang Shi.
