After rescuing the female demon earlier, Yang Haoran and the other two did not immediately choose to leave the place, precisely because they intended to eliminate witnesses.
Currently, all five brothers had been slain, but their souls were still present. Although their souls had yet to fully coalesce, failing to take them from this place would only invite future trouble.
Cleaning up the battlefield involved two things: first, taking all valuable items without missing a single one; and second, making sure to clean up thoroughly, so as not to attract more trouble for themselves.
Given Ye Zhiqiu's extremely unstable state at the moment, Yang Haoran didn't assign him the task of cleaning up the battlefield. Even if he did, Yang Haoran wouldn't feel at ease. After all, it was perfectly normal for someone in his condition to overlook things. If any part of the process was neglected or not done properly, they would certainly suffer greatly for it later.
Yang Haoran first forcibly condensed the souls of the five brothers and the deceased bodyguards present into spirits, then collected them into his Soul-Gathering Bead.
Afterward, he collected all the Demon Weapons used by the five brothers, including the one their Elder Brother had used for advancement but ultimately failed to absorb, into his independent space.
After handling these matters, Yang Haoran activated the cracked Array Disk to dispel the blood-colored barrier, then recalled the Formation Flags, putting away the damaged set.
Without the influence of the blood-colored barrier, Yang Haoran found it easier to tear through space. He located the manor's surveillance center, destroying all monitoring equipment to erase any traces of their trio having been there.
After sending these ordinary people away, Yang Haoran then erased all other traces that might expose them.
After completing all of this, he controlled Remnant Moon to destroy all the buildings within the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Manor. If it weren't for his current physical weakness and limited power, he truly would have wanted the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Manor to sink into the ground, vanishing permanently from this world.
He harbored such thoughts not out of deep hatred for the place, but because, in his view, doing so would be more secure.
Only after confirming there were no omissions did Yang Haoran tear through space, and the three of them immediately departed from Cloud Mist Mountain Manor.
With their departure, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Manor became utterly desolate. This manor, once somewhat renowned in New Sun City, ceased to exist from that moment on.
After Yang Haoran and the others left, the upheaval at Cloud Mist Mountain Manor went undiscovered for a short time. Although the great battle had caused considerable commotion, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Manor was, after all, enveloped by a restrictive barrier. Because of the barrier's presence, the outside world wasn't significantly affected.
Furthermore, there were no villages near Cloud Mist Mountain Manor, and few people usually came to this place. Thus, even when the blood-colored barrier became visible to the naked eye, it wasn't discovered by anyone.
It wasn't until the next day, New Year's Eve, that the upheaval at Cloud Mist Mountain Manor was discovered. The Demon Hunter Association in New Sun City was furious upon learning of the matter. To them, the perpetrator's actions were nothing short of a blatant provocation against their Demon Hunter Association.
That very day, the New Sun City branch of the Demon Hunter Association dispatched several Demon Hunters who immediately rushed to Cloud Mist Mountain Manor, hoping to find any clues about the culprit from the traces left at the scene.
However, to the immense fury of the Demon Hunter Association branch, they found absolutely nothing at Cloud Mist Mountain Manor. The culprit had erased all traces completely.
In response, the head of the New Sun City Demon Hunter Association branch was enraged. He mobilized all Demon Hunters throughout New Sun City, ordering them to search for traces of the culprit, promising a hefty reward from the branch to anyone who could provide a lead.
Under the promise of a hefty reward, the Demon Hunters of New Sun City became exceptionally motivated. Their enthusiastic attitude not only enlivened the Demon Hunter community but even influenced other circles. RaN)0BЕS
Within a short time, anyone or any organization with even a slight bit of information knew that something major had happened to the Demon Hunter Association: five two-star Demon Hunters, not weak in strength, had been completely wiped out on their own territory.
Some were astonished by this incident, others scoffed, but those who felt most humiliated were the members of the New Sun City Demon Hunter Association branch. For them, such an event was hardly glorious, and to have it happen right under their noses in New Sun City meant that if the culprit wasn't found, it would certainly become a laughingstock in the eyes of many for a considerable time.
It was precisely for this reason that the head of the New Sun City Demon Hunter Association branch offered a substantial monetary reward, hoping to uncover any clues regarding the culprit.
There was also another reason: the Elder Brother of Cloud Mist Mountain Manor had previously revealed to this head that he would send him a grand gift for the New Year. Now that Cloud Mist Mountain Manor was destroyed and all five brothers had met a tragic end, his New Year's gift naturally fell through. This left him thoroughly disgruntled. Only by finding the culprit and slaying them could he vent the anger in his heart.
However, with no clues whatsoever, finding the culprit would be no simple task; it was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
After Yang Haoran and the other two left Cloud Mist Mountain Manor through the spatial rift, they made no stops, rushing towards Lecheng at top speed.
New Sun City was someone else's territory; to kill someone there and remain unhurried—Yang Haoran wasn't that arrogant yet.
Moreover, all three of them were severely injured, especially Ye Zhiqiu, whose injuries were the most serious, leaving him with hardly any combat strength. Under such circumstances, if the three of them didn't leave quickly and encountered any more enemies, New Sun City might very well become their burial ground.
By the time they returned to the Lecheng villa, dusk had fallen. The return of Yang Haoran and his two companions delighted Old Master Wu and the others at home, but upon seeing their injuries, their joy turned to worry.
Yang Haoran told them not to worry, that their return alive was a blessing, and compared to losing their lives, injuries were simply not worth mentioning.
However, Yang Haoran didn't offer them too many explanations. After a few instructions, he led Ye Zhiqiu to the study, while Bai Xue returned to her room to heal her injuries.
The reason the three didn't go directly to the Spirit Police headquarters for treatment but returned to the villa was that Yang Haoran still needed to deal with the female demon's soul.
If this matter wasn't handled swiftly, Ye Zhiqiu certainly wouldn't be able to rest easy.
Bai Xue couldn't help with this matter, and her injuries were too severe, so Yang Haoran told her to return to her room to heal first.
Just as they entered the study, before Yang Haoran could even set up a restrictive barrier, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly handed the Demon Weapon in his hand to Yang Haoran.
Throughout the journey back, Ye Zhiqiu hadn't put the Demon Weapon into his independent space. Absent-mindedly, he gripped the Demon Weapon tightly in his hand, as if afraid he would miss something if he let go.
Looking at the Demon Weapon Ye Zhiqiu offered, Yang Haoran didn't immediately take it. Instead, he first set up a restrictive barrier in the study before accepting the Demon Weapon from Ye Zhiqiu.
The reason for setting up a restrictive barrier wasn't that Yang Haoran worried about others in the house seeing something. Rather, he didn't want to be affected by external factors, nor did he want any power fluctuations to spread when he took action, thus attracting unnecessary trouble.
Taking Ye Zhiqiu's Demon Weapon, Yang Haoran's gaze fell upon the longsword in his hand. At this moment, the sword's body not only bore three Demon Markings but also numerous small, light-red flowers.
There were quite a few red flowers, almost covering the entire blade. However, because their color was very faint, far less striking than the three Demon Markings, from a distance, one could only perceive a slight reddish hue on the longsword's body, making it difficult to discern the tiny red flowers on the blade.
Ye Zhiqiu's Demon Weapon longsword had certainly not possessed these small red flowers before; Yang Haoran was sure of this. The reason for the longsword's transformation was, naturally, due to its absorption of the female demon's body and soul.
Ye Zhiqiu's longsword had originally appeared quite ordinary. Though its shape hadn't changed, its overall appearance now no longer seemed as unremarkable as it once did.
Under Ye Zhiqiu's anxious gaze, the pale-faced Yang Haoran closed his eyes, carefully sensing the female demon's soul within the longsword. Moonlit Night God
