Although the young man did not know who Yang Haoran was, Yang Haoran gave him a very dangerous feeling, and the power fluctuations emanating from Yang Haoran were also very strong.
If he were to let his Guardian Spirit lead the charge at this moment, his Guardian Spirit would likely suffer a loss, and his Guardian Spirit suffering a loss meant he would suffer a loss.
As a group of three, he didn't want to suffer such a loss, so he felt it was best not to act rashly. Even if they had to make a move, all three of them should act together, or they should wait until they had a clear understanding of the opponent's strength.
The violent Evil Spirit was stunned by the young man's single sentence because it must have suffered a great deal of torture from him in the past. Thus, the man's cold threat reminded it of its terrifying experiences at his hands.
As for why it had ignored the man before, that was because it was enraged at the time, and when the young man had first spoken to stop it, he had not used the same cold and murderous tone he employed now.
Fear in its heart made the Evil Spirit retreat unwillingly behind the young man, no longer daring to act on its own.
The woman leading the group now smiled and spoke to Yang Haoran.
The first person present to sense Yang Haoran's arrival was this woman. She was able to sense his arrival before anyone else, partly because her sensing abilities were stronger than theirs.
Furthermore, since she was the one who had set up the Absolute Prohibition barrier, she immediately sensed it the moment Yang Haoran interfered with the barrier.
Yang Haoran did not reply. He glanced behind him, his brows knitting slightly.
The casualties among the Night Watchers were simply too great. More than half had died, and the vast majority of the remaining half had lost their combat effectiveness due to severe injuries. Only a handful of people were still standing.
Such heavy losses were a tremendous blow to the entire Ancheng Underworld Division. Without these Night Watchers, the various Death God Temples in Ancheng Underworld Division would be unable to operate normally. When the higher-ups eventually looked into it, Xu Meijing, as the Emissary of Death, would certainly be punished.
Although these Night Watchers were not his direct subordinates, they were all part of the Underworld Office, and more importantly, they were Xu Meijing's people. Their deaths, therefore, still affected Yang Haoran's emotions somewhat.
The woman wanted to know who Yang Haoran was, and the other two Spirit Masters, including the surviving Night Watchers present, also wanted to know who Yang Haoran was.
They could sense the Spirit Power emanating from Yang Haoran's body, and also the Yin Qi radiating from him, but they had no idea of his specific background. As the woman said, the Ancheng Underworld Division had no such person as him.
Just as everyone was wondering about Yang Haoran's identity, several of the surviving Night Watchers present, looking at Yang Haoran's ordinary face, seemed to recall something. Their expressions suddenly changed drastically, becoming agitated, their eyes filled with joy.
Chu Jiu, a trusted subordinate cultivated by Xu Meijing, carefully observed Yang Haoran's face, her expression also changing as if something had dawned on her. Then, the young woman knelt on one knee before Yang Haoran.
"Ancheng Night Watcher Chu Jiu, greetings to Divine Emissary Yang!"
As Chu Jiu saluted, the other Night Watchers who had recognized Yang Haoran's identity also expressed their respect in their own ways.
"Greetings, Divine Emissary!"
Those Night Watchers who could still move knelt on one knee like Chu Jiu, while those who couldn't move could only offer their respects verbally.
They recognized Yang Haoran because he had visited this Death God Temple before, so some Night Watchers had an impression of him, albeit not a very deep one.
Apart from them, some Night Watchers did not recognize Yang Haoran, but seeing Chu Jiu and the others salute, they immediately realized what was happening. With shock and joy in their hearts, they quickly saluted Yang Haoran.
"Greetings, Divine Emissary!"
The reaction of the Night Watchers present caused the three Spirit Masters' expressions to subtly shift. Although they didn't recognize Yang Haoran, from Chu Jiu and the others' address, they understood quite a bit.
"You may rise," Yang Haoran said calmly, his gaze sweeping over Chu Jiu and the others kneeling on one knee.
Hearing this, Chu Jiu and the others stood up. Their emotions were agitated, and their eyes, previously filled with despair, now gleamed with hope.
Before Yang Haoran appeared, they knew they were doomed today. Spirit Masters and the Underworld Office were natural enemies; once they fell into their hands, their only fate would be Soul Transformation. Thus, their hearts were filled with despair, but they had not succumbed to it.
After Yang Haoran appeared, their inner emotions and thoughts immediately changed.
Their heavy losses today were due to the immense disparity in strength between them and the three Spirit Masters. Without Emissary of Death Xu Meijing here, they would have no chance of defeating these three Spirit Masters, or even of escaping.
However, with Yang Haoran's appearance, everything became different.
In their view, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing were both Emissaries of Death, so even if Yang Haoran's strength was not superior to Xu Meijing's, it certainly wouldn't be much worse; he was far beyond anything they could compare to.
"Divine Emissary, we—"
Chu Jiu began to speak, wanting to say something to Yang Haoran, but Yang Haoran gently waved his hand, stopping her.
"You lead them back to a safe area first. I will handle things here."
Now was not the time for talking; Chu Jiu understood this. However, she was still unwilling to temporarily retreat to a safe area because she wanted to stay and help. She worried that Yang Haoran alone might not be able to deal with the three Spirit Masters.
Seeing Chu Jiu hesitate, Yang Haoran dropped the seriousness from his face and revealed a slight smile. He continued, "You staying here won't help me; instead, it will hinder my performance. So, retreat for now."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded gently. She then gave a meaningful look to the other Night Watchers present and began cautiously moving towards the injured and deceased, preparing to carry them away from the area.
Although the dead Night Watchers present had already suffered Soul Transformation, Chu Jiu still had no intention of abandoning them. Even if their souls were gone, their bodies should at least be left behind.
As for the Night Watchers who were not yet dead but couldn't move, they would certainly have to be carried away as well. Given their current condition, they couldn't endure any more strain. Once Yang Haoran engaged the three Spirit Masters, even a single ripple of residual power would be enough to claim their lives.
Seeing the Night Watchers begin to act according to his instructions, Yang Haoran slowly turned, fixing his gaze on the three Spirit Masters opposite him.
All three of them had heard Yang Haoran's instructions to Chu Jiu clearly. Seeing the Night Watchers preparing to retreat, the old man among the three frowned and was about to intervene, but the leading woman stopped him with a wave of her hand.
"What's the rush? I've set up a barrier here; they can't escape. Do you think they have the ability to break through the barrier I've laid?"
Hearing the woman's words, the old man gave up on attacking Chu Jiu and the other Night Watchers, for he knew that what the woman said was indeed true.
As the woman spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Yang Haoran, not on the old man beside her.
After her words fell, she smiled and said to Yang Haoran, "I was just guessing who you were, but that little girl's address just now made me realize. Divine Emissary Yang, hehe, you must be Yang Haoran, the Emissary of Death from Lecheng."
The woman's words caused the other two Spirit Masters' expressions to subtly change, though their reactions were not intense. From their facial expressions, they seemed to know of Yang Haoran as well.
Their reason for showing little change in expression and not immediately attacking Yang Haoran was that they knew Yang Haoran, like Xu Meijing, was a newcomer who had only become an Emissary of Death in recent years. Therefore, his strength should not differ much from Xu Meijing's. Since they dared to attack directly, they certainly wouldn't fear Xu Meijing's strength, nor would they fear Yang Haoran's.
