Realm of the Night God

<

Yang Haoran thought that after he said these words, Master Wu would calm down and reconsider the matter.

However, the scene he imagined did not happen. It seemed that Master Wu had already thought it through before, understanding the pros and cons. So his reminder didn't have much effect. Master Wu still decisively decided to join the Yin Division.

Since Master Wu had made his decision, Yang Haoran didn't waste any more words. He first called Master Jiang to explain the situation, then let Master Wu go directly to find Master Jiang.

Master Jiang was now in charge of this matter, so Yang Haoran sent Master Wu to find him. Initially, Yang Haoran could have taken Master Wu to find Deng Feng, but he simply didn't have the time now, so he had to trouble Master Jiang.

Before Yang Haoran joined the Night Watch, Master Jiang had also warned him that joining the Night Watch might not necessarily be a good thing. The choice Yang Haoran made back then was no different from Master Wu's today.

Now that things had come to this, Yang Haoran faced the danger of soul scattering. He deeply understood that Master Jiang's warning was indeed reasonable.

However, he had no regrets because since becoming a member of the Night Watch, his life had gained color. He could experience the magical side of this world, feeling fortunate.

As for whether Master Wu would regret it in the future, he didn't know.

Declining Master Wu's retention, Yang Haoran left the Wu Family villa. He didn't go anywhere else, heading straight back to the grocery store.

Master Wu, on the other hand, hurried to the South Lake Death God Temple, filled with excitement and anticipation, to open the door to his own mysterious world.

Back at the grocery store, Yang Haoran didn't open for business as usual. He locked himself in the shop, preparing to make a final push in the next twenty or so days.

In these last twenty days, he intended to draw talismans and successfully become a talisman master. Only by becoming a talisman master would he have the possibility of drawing the special talismans that the Fu Sect had lost. Perhaps they could be of some help to him.

During the preparation period, Yang Haoran's phone suddenly rang. Taking out his mobile phone and looking at it, he smiled. The caller was unexpectedly Xu Meijing.

Xu Meijing was calling him back!

Yang Haoran felt a bit nervous but still pressed the answer button.

"What do you want?" came Xu Meijing's cold voice as soon as the call connected, just like before, no pleasantries, straight to the point, her character showing no change.

"Nothing much, just wondering how you've been lately," Yang Haoran chuckled and replied.

"Ancheng is a mess, cleaning up is troublesome. There's no good days to speak of. How about you in Lecheng? I heard things haven't been too peaceful there lately either," Xu Meijing responded.

Yang Haoran chuckled, saying, "There have been some minor disturbances, but nothing major."

"Is that so? I heard several Night Watch members died. Isn't that a big deal?" Xu Meijing's words made Yang Haoran feel embarrassed and surprised once again.

Deng Feng had clearly sealed off the news and strictly prohibited Night Watch from leaking recent events. Yet, not only did Wang Yiming know, even Xu Meijing from Ancheng had heard about it. If Deng Feng found out, he would probably be quite angry.

Seeing that Yang Haoran just smiled and didn't intend to elaborate on the matter, Xu Meijing didn't ask further. She was swamped with trivial matters now, too busy to deal with her own affairs, let alone others'.

"Never mind, as long as you're not dead. I have a lot of things to handle here. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't waste time dragging it out. You've called, so don't be shy to speak up," Xu Meijing said.

Yang Haoran smiled awkwardly and then said, "I wanted to ask if you know about the soul scattering needle."

"Soul scattering needle? Why do you suddenly ask about that?" Xu Meijing's tone changed slightly, showing some surprise. "I just read about it in a book recently, but the records in that book aren't comprehensive, so I thought I'd ask you," Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

"The soul scattering needle is quite malicious, targeting the soul of the victim. Once hit, if you don't know how to deal with it, the victim only needs to prepare two things."

"What two things?" Yang Haoran's heart lifted, quickly asking.

"Wheelchair and coffin, if you're not dead, you sit in a wheelchair, if you're dead, you lie in a coffin." Xu Meijing's blunt response left Yang Haoran stunned. After a moment, he recovered and though his initial joy dissipated, he didn't show it. Instead, he casually continued, "So, besides the practitioner, is the soul scattering needle impossible to remove?"

Thinking Yang Haoran might have fallen victim, Xu Meijing, however, noticed Yang Haoran's casual tone and replied, "From what I know, besides the practitioner, it's difficult for outsiders to remove the soul scattering needle. But there are no absolutes in everything. There are many extraordinary individuals in this world, so it's not surprising to find such experts. It's just a matter of whether you can find them, which depends on luck."

Xu Meijing's words gave Yang Haoran some hope, albeit faint. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Not showing his inner disappointment, Yang Haoran behaved naturally, chatting with Xu Meijing for a while before finally hanging up the phone.

After the call ended, Yang Haoran couldn't help but sigh and silently lit a cigarette, his expression filled with helplessness.

It was impossible for him not to feel disappointed at this moment. However, he had long prepared for the worst, so Xu Meijing's words didn't hit him too hard. After finishing the cigarette, he adjusted himself from his disappointment.

Rubbing his face, Yang Haoran took a deep breath and temporarily set aside the matter of the soul scattering needle, preparing to start drawing talismans. However, at that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Yang Haoran's face showed a puzzled expression. He furrowed his brows slightly, guessing it might be a customer coming to buy something. However, he dismissed this speculation.

Because he sensed a faint Yin Qi, not strong, but definitely there, emanating from the person knocking on the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he packed up all the materials for drawing talismans on the table and walked towards the door, opening the rolling shutter.

As he opened the door, a sturdy figure came into view.

The person was dressed plainly, with patches on multiple parts of their clothes. Their trousers were rolled up high, giving them a countryside look.

Looking at this unfamiliar face and sensing the faint Yin Qi emanating from him, Yang Haoran's expression showed puzzlement.

"Who are you?" Yang Haoran asked, puzzled.

"Can I come in for a drink of water?" the sturdy man asked.

Of course, Yang Haoran wouldn't easily let the other person in. He looked at the sturdy man, and his expression became somewhat strange for a moment.

This wasn't the wilderness. If someone wanted water, it was simple to get. This was clearly not about drinking.

Moreover, judging from the faint Yin Qi emanating from the other person, either he had been recently haunted by ghosts, hence the presence of Yin Qi, or he was like Yang Haoran, a member of the Yin Division, or perhaps a spirit master.

Seeing that Yang Haoran didn't immediately invite him in, the sturdy man's expression became somewhat unpleasant. He spoke in a deep voice to Yang Haoran.

"Soul scattering needle!"

These three words, spoken by the sturdy man, made Yang Haoran's heart jump. It was clear that he was being reminded.

Besides himself, only two people knew about the soul scattering needle implanted in him: Deng Feng and Duda!

If Deng Feng wanted to see him, it would be a simple matter. There was no need for any tricks.

However, if Duda wanted to see him, it was a completely different story!

Yang Haoran seemed to have guessed something. The puzzlement on his face disappeared. He then stepped aside, making way, and smiled at the sturdy man, saying, "Please come in."

The sturdy man didn't hesitate either, stepping into the grocery store and ordering Yang Haoran in a commanding tone, "Close the door."

As these four words came out of the sturdy man's mouth, his voice noticeably changed, becoming old and hoarse, completely different from before.
