Chapter 284: Unexpected
Yang Haoran's reaction didn't seem feigned in the slightest. Seeing this, the female demon's heart immediately grew anxious.
She had placed all her hopes of escape on Yang Haoran. If Yang Haoran were to leave without a word, how would she ever get out of here?
After all this time, she had finally waited for an Emissary of Death capable of destroying the Demon Sealing Talismans for her. She absolutely did not want to miss this chance.
"Emissary of Death big brother, wait! " The female demon hastily called out to stop Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran's steps halted. He turned to look at the female demon.
"Why are you still telling me jokes?"
The female demon quickly waved her hand with a smile. She opened her mouth and said, "That was just a joke, how could I really offer you the bones of those lecherous ghosts as payment, Emissary of Death big brother?"
Yang Haoran smiled, watching the female demon, but remained silent. His expression seemed to tell her, "If you have any bargaining chips, show them now. I'm a very busy man."
Although he didn't say it directly, the female demon wasn't foolish. She naturally understood Yang Haoran's meaning. A charming smile once again bloomed on her face.
The female demon's words piqued Yang Haoran's interest. He didn't know if her words were true or false, but if they were true, he might yet gain something.
"What thing? " Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"Heh heh, before that, shouldn't you also show me your sincerity? " the female demon said with a smile.
"My sincerity? Heh heh. What do you think I need to do to show my sincerity? Just based on your words, should I immediately break the Demon Sealing Talismans here for you? " Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"How could I possibly make such a demand right from the start? I only need you to swear a poisonous oath that you will release me from here, and then I. . ."
The female demon hadn't even finished speaking, when several Demon Sealing Talismans above the wooden door simultaneously lit up and burst forth with a wave of power even stronger than before.
This sudden occurrence caused the female demon's voice to halt, and Yang Haoran's smile also froze. Both simultaneously looked towards the Demon Sealing Talismans above the doorway.
Neither of them had touched the Demon Sealing Talismans. Yang Haoran had merely stopped at the doorway, not stepping out of the room. Logically, it should have been impossible to activate the Demon Sealing Talismans.
As for the female demon, she was currently negotiating with Yang Haoran. All her attention was on Yang Haoran. She similarly hadn't done anything that could activate the Demon Sealing Talismans.
Neither of them had done anything to activate the Demon Sealing Talismans, yet the Demon Sealing Talismans had activated on their own. There were only two possible reasons for such a situation.
The first possibility: a demon had suddenly forcefully broken in or rushed out of the Demon Sealing Talismans' area of effect, causing the Demon Sealing Talismans to activate on their own.
The area covered by the power of these several Demon Sealing Talismans was only this dilapidated shack. And within this dilapidated shack, other than Yang Haoran and the female demon, there were no other demons present. Thus, there was no possibility of a demon rushing out of the door to activate the Demon Sealing Talismans.
Similarly, it was impossible for a demon to have suddenly broken in from outside. Because Yang Haoran was right at the doorway. If a demon had truly burst in, he would have immediately noticed. But outside, there wasn't even a single hair, let alone a demon.
Therefore, this possibility simply didn't hold water.
Since the first possibility was invalid, then only the second possibility remained.
And this second possibility was: The owner of these Demon Sealing Talismans was currently activating them, which was why these Demon Sealing Talismans had suddenly activated!
"Damn it! That stinking woman woke up! " The female demon seemed to realize something, and her expression suddenly turned grim.
Hearing this, Yang Haoran frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? What stinking woman?"
"Crazy woman? " Yang Haoran's eyebrows twitched slightly. He knew who the female demon was referring to as the crazy woman.
Ever since he discovered the Demon Sealing Talismans here, and personally witnessed the "noodles" stewing in the female demon's pot, Yang Haoran knew that there was definitely a hidden grievance between this female demon and the crazy woman down the mountain, one unknown to outsiders.
The crazy woman was a powerful Black Talisman Master. The reason she went insane was because she had been afflicted by a demonic curse, and her stomach was filled with disgusting long hair.
And the reason the female demon was trapped in this dilapidated room, unable to leave, was due to the several Demon Sealing Talismans on the door, and these several Demon Sealing Talismans were all Black Talismans!
Putting these two facts together, if anyone claimed there was no grievance between the female demon and the crazy woman, Yang Haoran wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.
Although he understood in his heart, Yang Haoran had not shown it after meeting the female demon, nor had he actively brought up the matter.
As for the female demon at that time, although she sensed that the demonic curse on the crazy woman had been forcefully broken, she still didn't know who was responsible.
Although she had a corpse controlled by demonic arts that she could use to gather information, the Old Farmer at that time had just been severely injured and put into a deep slumber by the first batch of Spirit Police to arrive today. She had spent a considerable amount of effort to forcefully awaken the Old Farmer, wanting to send the Old Farmer down the mountain to assess the situation. But just as she had awakened the Old Farmer, Yang Haoran appeared.
Precisely because of this, the Old Farmer hadn't yet gathered any useful information for the female demon, before being dealt with by Yang Haoran.
After Yang Haoran appeared, the female demon also suspected if Yang Haoran was behind all this. After all, Yang Haoran seemed to have some understanding of talismans. It was possible he was a friend of that crazy woman.
However, she couldn't be entirely certain in her heart, but she was full of vigilance towards Yang Haoran.
The reason she had said so much to Yang Haoran just now, was actually to gain more information through their conversation. At the very least, she wanted to understand one thing: the purpose of Yang Haoran, this Emissary of Death, in coming to find her.
After a round of probing, she did not get the desired outcome, so she simply decided to negotiate with Yang Haoran through a trade, to see what choice Yang Haoran would make.
If Yang Haoran was willing to help her, it would indicate that the crazy woman's affairs might not have much to do with Yang Haoran.
But if Yang Haoran was unwilling to help her, then it would be rather intriguing, and she would have to strike first to gain the upper hand.
What she hadn't expected was that the crazy woman had actually woken up so quickly. According to her estimations, even if the demonic curse was forcefully broken, she wouldn't wake up for at least three to five days. Yet the reality proved her estimation wrong.
This miscalculation was bound to cost her dearly. There was a fire in her heart, therefore, regardless of whether Yang Haoran was responsible for breaking the demonic curse on the crazy woman, she first let out an angry shout to vent her inner fury.
However, she hadn't yet received a response from Yang Haoran, when cracking sounds suddenly came from the floor of the room. The ground had actually begun to rapidly crack open.
"What are you still standing there for? ! Quickly! Join forces with me to destroy these Demon Sealing Talismans! Otherwise, both you and I will be suppressed beneath this great mountain, and by then, it'll be even harder to recover!"
Watching the ground crack open more and more, the female demon no longer bothered to dwell on who had broken the demonic curse she'd placed on the crazy woman, and quickly urged Yang Haoran loudly.
"The Demon Sealing Talismans are targeting you. They have nothing to do with me."
After speaking, Yang Haoran took out a small wooden box from his pocket. With a wave of his hand, the wooden box vanished from sight, stored within his personal spatial dimension.
This wooden box, suddenly put into his personal spatial dimension, contained precisely the Demon Pill he had acquired.
According to Yang Haoran's estimation, as long as the Demon Pill was stored within his personal spatial dimension, the Demon Sealing Talismans should no longer continue to attack him.
But when he lowered his head to look at his own feet, he froze.
The shackles on his feet had surprisingly not vanished just because he had put the Demon Pill into his personal spatial dimension!
