Chapter 859: Secret Instructions
Bai Xue made her move, and the battle swiftly concluded. The colossal disparity in strength left the six men, including the Middle-aged Man, utterly incapable of resisting Bai Xue. In a mere moment, they were successively devoured.
When the six individuals were spat back out by Bai Xue, all of them, including the Middle-aged Man, had lost their vitality, turning into shriveled corpses. Not only were the Human Spirits within their flesh and blood completely absorbed by Bai Xue, but even their very blood became a tonic for her.
As for their souls, Bai Xue held no interest in such things, and thus she left them untouched, allowing their souls to remain within their corpses.
Gazing at the six shriveled corpses on the ground, Yang Haoran gently waved his hand. Immediately, Yin Qi coiled around the bodies, like black vipers, burrowing into their seven orifices. Subsequently, the six souls were forcibly condensed and extracted by this Yin Qi, floating suspended before Yang Haoran.
As Yang Haoran collected the souls, Bai Xue had already reverted to her human form, returning to his side.
After the six men were eliminated by Bai Xue, the other surviving Spirit Police officers present all let out a sigh of relief. However, complex expressions soon appeared on the faces of some, as they didn't know how to face Bai Xue.
Although these Spirit Police officers had not personally moved against Bai Xue, the deceased Administrative Chief had issued an order not only expelling Bai Xue from the Spirit Police ranks but also designating her a wanted target. Yet now, the one who had saved their lives was precisely this powerful demon, Bai Xue. How could their hearts not be conflicted.
"First, take me to see Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui's bodies."
Of course, the Spirit Police would not refuse Yang Haoran's request. They immediately led him into the Spirit Police headquarters building.
The Spirit Police headquarters building was once imposing, but that was in the past. Although it hadn't collapsed, it had become dilapidated, with traces of battle visible everywhere.
Arriving at Luo Dui's recuperation room, Yang Haoran saw Luo Dui's body on the bed. By then, Luo Dui showed no signs of life, his blood soaking the bedding and staining the sheets crimson.
In a corner of the room, Yang Haoran also discovered another body. This person was covered in bloodstains, with numerous gruesome wounds glaringly apparent on his body. It was none other than Zhou Fudui.
Gazing at the two bodies, Yang Haoran shed his usual, habitual smile. Although no expression of sorrow was visible on his face, neither was there any trace of a smile.
Compared to Yang Haoran, Bai Xue's reaction was considerably more intense. Although she wore a mask, making her facial expression impossible to discern, her large eyes still betrayed a profound sorrow, and this grief was strikingly obvious. Anyone who wasn't blind could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Luo Dui had been recuperating. Although he was still a long way from full recovery, his life had, at least, been saved. But to our utter shock, he was assassinated by those individuals. Zhou Fudui was the first to discover it, but not only did he fail to prevent the tragedy, he ended up sacrificing himself as well."
A Spirit Police officer spoke, his words intended not only for Yang Haoran but also for Bai Xue.
"To think, it hasn't been long since I parted ways with him, and now he's like this. Alas. " Bai Xue murmured, unable to stop herself from sighing at the end of her words.
"Not only are their physical bodies dead, but their souls have also been scattered. In such a situation, even I am powerless," Yang Haoran stated.
Although Yang Haoran didn't meticulously examine the two bodies, his senses alone were enough to confirm that no soul remnants lingered within them.
In other words, both Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui had already undergone Soul Transformation. He was indeed an Underworld agent, but even an Underworld agent wasn't omnipotent. When faced with a situation like Soul Transformation, he too was powerless.
"Lord Yang, is there truly nothing that can be done?"
A female Spirit Police officer asked Yang Haoran. Although she was a Spirit Police officer, the power fluctuations emanating from her were very weak, indicating her strength was not significant, and her knowledge was likely proportional to her power.
Yang Haoran gently shook his head, then sighed. He didn't speak, but his reaction conveyed everything.
For the next short while, Yang Haoran gathered information from the Spirit Police officers present regarding the incident, and then departed the Spirit Police headquarters. As for the funeral arrangements for Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui, those would be handled by the other Spirit Police officers.
He, however, had more important matters to attend to.
Before leaving the Spirit Police headquarters, Yang Haoran gave Bai Xue some secret instructions. Afterward, he departed, while Bai Xue remained behind.
"Although Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui have undergone Soul Transformation, we must still properly handle their funeral arrangements; we cannot be careless. Furthermore, the injured and deceased outside also require our immediate attention. Therefore, let us not waste time indulging in our sorrow and delay the treatment of others."
Bai Xue's voice paused slightly, then she continued.
"During this time, I will remain here at the Spirit Police headquarters to protect you. No matter who it is, if they dare to come looking for trouble now, they will have to step over my corpse first. If they lack the ability to step over my corpse, then I, Bai Xue, will step over theirs!"
Let alone that Bai Xue was no longer a Spirit Police officer, even when she was, she never had the authority to mobilize other Spirit Police. She wasn't Luo Dui, nor was she Zhou Fudui; she simply didn't possess such power.
However, through her years of effort, her standing within the Spirit Police force had changed significantly. Although she still held no real power, the other Spirit Police officers held her in great respect, or rather, awe.
This was because not only was her strength the greatest in the entire Spirit Police force, but many officers had been saved by her once or multiple times. These two points alone were sufficient to grant her a unique position within the Spirit Police organization.
Now that both Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui were gone, and the Spirit Police force was leaderless, Bai Xue's words naturally gained significant weight.
Furthermore, with Bai Xue protecting them, their safety was guaranteed, making them even less likely to oppose her arrangements.
No one bothered to argue that Bai Xue was no longer a Spirit Police officer. In the current situation, desperately needing a leader, they practically wished Bai Xue would step forward and take charge.
Meanwhile, Yang Haoran, having left the Spirit Police headquarters, returned to his villa. The first thing he did was forcibly awaken the Middle-aged Man's soul and proceed with an interrogation.
The interrogation lasted for several hours. It wasn't until the bright moon hung high outside that he concluded the questioning and emerged from the study.
Under his interrogation, he finally gained a general understanding of the day's events.
The Ancheng Administrative Courtyard had long harbored the ambition of annexing Lecheng. As Lecheng was the closest city to Ancheng, and its capabilities in all aspects were inferior, seizing Lecheng would be simpler for Ancheng than taking over any other city.
To successfully seize Lecheng, they first needed to eliminate Lecheng's Spirit Police, for the Spirit Police represented the Administrative Courtyard's strongest force. Eliminating them would be tantamount to severing the Administrative Courtyard's left and right arms.
As for the military, it was naturally effective against ordinary people, but not so much against non-ordinary individuals. Once a city's Spirit Police were eradicated, the military alone would be utterly incapable of resisting an enemy invasion. This was why the Ancheng Administrative Courtyard resorted to every possible method to first eliminate Lecheng's Spirit Police.
The Administrative Chief's death had nothing to do with the two Demon Hunters; it was orchestrated by Ancheng's Administrative Chief. Although the Spirit Police were crucial to a city, the Administrative Chief was equally vital. Once the Administrative Chief died, the Administrative Courtyard would descend into chaos, making it far simpler to deal with.
After eliminating Lecheng's Administrative Chief, the next targets were Luo Dui and Zhou Fudui. Once both of them died, the Spirit Police would naturally be paralyzed, making them even simpler to handle.
