Yang Haoran’s explanation allowed the three Guardian Spirits to breathe a sigh of relief, and the vigilance in their eyes slowly dissipated. However, Yang Haoran’s next words made their expressions change drastically.
“Don’t worry, while I, Yang Haoran, have never been a good person, I am definitely a man of my word. Of course, situations where I intentionally trick someone from the very beginning are an exception. ” Yang Haoran said with a smile.
The moment these words left his lips, the vigilance that had just dissipated in the eyes of the three Guardian Spirits reappeared, and was even more intense than before. At the same time, their spirit bodies involuntarily recoiled towards the edge of the barrier.
“However, the promise I made to you three today was not to deceive you. Heh heh, from this day forward, you three are my people. Follow me diligently, and I guarantee you won’t regret today’s decision. ” Yang Haoran said with a smile.
If he had spoken these words earlier, the three Guardian Spirits would undoubtedly have been extremely excited, but spoken now, the three Guardian Spirits couldn't be happy at all.
The reason was simple: they didn't know if Yang Haoran's words were true or false, and even less what terrifying things Yang Haoran might say next.
Seeing that their three blood-red eyes were still full of vigilance, Yang Haoran smiled and took out three empty Soul-Gathering Beads.
Normally, a single Soul-gathering beard can only hold one Evil Spirit (evil spirit), because after an Evil Spirit (evil spirit) enters a Soul-gathering Beard, its form changes. Unlike ordinary ghosts and Evil Spirits (evil spirits), they don't transform into soul threads, but instead become soul mist, and this soul mist fills the entire Soul-Gathering beard.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, unless there isn't enough soul-gathering beads, or the situation was so urgent that such considerations were unreasonable, Underworld Officials would not place an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit) and other spirits into the same Soul-gathering Beard.
The current situation had absolutely nothing to do with urgency. Furthermore, Yang Haoran was able to produce three empty Soul-Gathering Beads, so there was naturally no need for him to make the three of them squeeze in with other spirits.
“Come in first. Stay in the Soul-Gathering Beads for now. Once I’ve dealt with matters here, I will make arrangements for the three of you, and you will see my sincerity. ” Yang Haoran said with a smile.
The three looked at each other. None of them immediately made a decision, instead appearing somewhat hesitant.
Yang Haoran understood why they reacted this way, so he didn't utter any harsh words.
“It’s come to this point. What more do you have to hesitate about? Since you were willing to trust me before, why doubt me now? ” Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Among the three Guardian Spirits, Tang Shi was still the first to make a decision.
Tang Shi knelt on one knee and respectfully addressed Yang Haoran, saying, “Everything will be according to the arrangements of Lord Underworld Official. ”
With Tang Shi taking the lead, the other two Guardian Spirits hesitated for a moment, then likewise knelt on one knee towards Yang Haoran, uttering the same words.
Yang Haoran nodded with a smile and said, “Go in. You won’t be in there for long. The next time you emerge, I will ensure you continue to live in this world like normal people. I promise. ”
The three no longer hesitated. After rising, their spirit bodies transformed into Yin Qi and actively flew towards the three Soul-Gathering Beads suspended in the air.
After the three were absorbed into the Soul-Gathering Beads, Yang Haoran put away the three Soul-Gathering Beads. Then he prepared to dismantle the barrier and leave.
However, when he intended to dismantle the barrier, he hesitated for a moment and then stopped himself from immediately doing so.
He looked at his own body. There were no conspicuous wounds on him, nor any obvious bloodstains. By all appearances, he didn't look like he had just engaged in a life-and-death battle with an opponent.
“Going out like this probably isn’t a good idea. ”
Thinking this to himself, Yang Haoran’s gaze sharpened, and a ruthless expression appeared on his face.
Under his control, Remnant Moon quickly spun around his body once.
This spin of Remnant Moon was not just a simple rotation; it was an attack on its master, Yang Haoran. As it spun around, Yang Haoran’s entire body, including his back, was sliced open with over a dozen cuts by Remnant Moon.
With over a dozen ghastly wounds suddenly appearing on his body, Yang Haoran didn’t cry out, nor did he grimace in pain. He merely furrowed his brow, then took a deep breath, forcibly enduring the pain emanating from the wounds.
Fresh blood flowed out, soaking his already tattered clothes. Once the blood had drenched his clothes, Yang Haoran immediately used Spirit Power to seal the wounds, not daring to let the blood continue to flow.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a gust of Yin wind kicked up a large cloud of dust and smoke, enveloping his entire being.
As the dust and smoke dispersed, Yang Haoran now looked rather convincing. His clothes were ragged and soaked with blood, and his face was also somewhat pale from excessive blood loss. By all appearances, he looked like he had just been through a life-or-death battle.
Carefully observing his handiwork, a faint smile appeared on Yang Haoran's somewhat pale face. Judging by his expression, he was quite satisfied with this outcome.
After confirming there were no other issues, only then did he dismantle the barrier.
With the barrier dismantled, the first person Yang Haoran saw was Night Watcher Chu Jiu. The young girl was currently waiting outside the barrier, her face filled with worry. Upon seeing Yang Haoran appear, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on the young girl's face.
However, when she saw the scene inside the barrier, she was still startled. The ground was covered in cracks and in utter disarray. It was obvious at a glance how fierce the battle had been.
In addition to this, she also saw the corpses of the young man and Lu Laotou. As for the woman’s corpse, it was buried under a large amount of debris, making it impossible for her to see.
From the current situation, it appeared Yang Haoran had won the battle and even slain all his opponents. This left her greatly astonished.
Carrying the shock and excitement in her heart, she quickly knelt on one knee to salute Yang Haoran. However, before she could speak, Yang Haoran spoke first, cutting her off.
“Alright, no need to salute. Quickly get up. ”
“Yes! ”
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiu replied and quickly stood up. Looking at Yang Haoran, whose face was pale and body covered in wounds, a worried expression once again appeared on her face.
“Lord Emissary, I’ll arrange a quiet room for you to heal and rest. ”
Chu Jiu had originally wanted to ask Yang Haoran if his injuries were serious, but she felt it would be a rhetorical question. With him in such a state, how could it not be serious? Did he have to be lying motionless on the ground like a corpse for it to be considered serious?
So, instead of asking such a foolish question, she directly flashed to Yang Haoran’s side, supported him, and prepared to lead him to a quiet room to heal.
“I’m fine, so you don’t need to worry. Where are they? ” Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
“They’re all in the main hall. There are not only our Night Watchers there, but also believers who didn’t manage to escape from here. ” Chu Jiu replied.
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran nodded weakly and said, “There are some things that believers cannot know, so they mustn’t know them. Afterward, remember to erase all their memories from today. ”
“Chu Jiu understands. ” Chu Jiu replied.
“These three Spirit Masters have all been slain by me. Not a single one is alive. You don’t need to worry about them coming back to attack again. ” Seeing that Chu Jiu hadn't asked about this, Yang Haoran simply brought it up himself.
Although she had already guessed the outcome, hearing Yang Haoran say it himself, Chu Jiu’s face couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock.
“Thank you, Lord Emissary, for your rescue today. Otherwise, our Ancheng Underworld Division might have been razed by those three today. ” Chu Jiu, recovering, put away the shock on her face, and then said with a grateful expression.
“Heh heh, you were lucky this time. Fortunately, I rushed over immediately after learning the news. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
As he spoke to this point, Yang Haoran gave a self-deprecating smile, and then continued.
“You weren’t the only lucky ones; I was too. If these three Spirit Masters hadn’t constantly abused their Guardian Spirits and been subjected to their Guardian Spirits’ backlash, with my strength alone, trying to slay all three of them would have been utterly impossible. The reason I set up the barrier to let you leave then was to give you time to find reinforcements. And what I intended to do was to stall for as much time as possible until reinforcements arrived. But man proposes, God disposes. The three Guardian Spirits successively betrayed and devoured their masters, which gave me an opportunity. Otherwise, I would have already undergone Soul Transformation now. ” Night God Under the Moon
