Chapter 940: As Arrogant As Ever
Not all Talisman Masters within the Talisman Order were unreasonable, nor did all of them disregard the Order's tenets. Precisely because of this, despite their intense anger, the three did not immediately attack Yang Haoran. One of them even asked Yang Haoran for the reason behind his actions.
"Heh heh, I was framed by your Talisman Order, so I came here to seek justice. But your Talisman Order tried to kill me to silence me. Don't you think I should fight back? Also, this temple wasn't destroyed by me, but by your Han Fushi. You can't pin that on me."
Yang Haoran said with a chuckle. His words sparked a flicker of doubt in the eyes of the three, while Han Fushi, upon hearing him, immediately exploded in a thunderous rage.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! This brat deliberately came to our Talisman Order to stir up trouble, causing us immense losses. We absolutely cannot let him leave here alive today. Everyone, move!"
The three were, to varying degrees, somewhat confused, but since Han Fushi had already given the order, they decided to apprehend Yang Haoran for now. After all, Han Fushi was the head of the Ancheng Talisman Order, and they had to obey him.
Moreover, regardless of the reason, they couldn't allow Yang Haoran to continue causing chaos in this place, as it would have an extremely detrimental impact on their Talisman Order. The events unfolding here must have already drawn the attention of other factions. Allowing Yang Haoran to continue would only make other factions laugh at their Talisman Order.
The three exchanged glances, preparing to move against Yang Haoran. But precisely at that moment, several areas of space in the vicinity suddenly fluctuated violently, and then, one after another, several spatial rifts appeared.
"Oh! The Talisman Order is really lively today. No, not lively, I should say it's hot."
After speaking, the young man showed no intention of helping the Talisman Order, nor did he intend to help Yang Haoran. He crossed his arms over his chest, looking ready to watch a good show.
"This world truly is chaotic nowadays. Fighting so fiercely in broad daylight, completely disregarding whether us old folks can handle it. My nap was disturbed by your racket, so I, this old woman, might as well come join the fun."
The old woman spoke slowly, even a little incoherently. She, too, seemed to have no intention of interfering. After a sigh that asserted her presence, she, like the young man who spoke first, adopted an eager posture to watch the show.
After the old woman, two more figures emerged from spatial rifts. These two had some vested interests tied to the Talisman Order, so upon sensing the fierce battle here, they immediately rushed over. Their original intention was to support the Talisman Order, to curry favor. However, upon discovering that the one causing trouble for the Talisman Order was actually a member of the Underworld Office, both wisely remained silent, not daring to speak rashly.
To gain more benefits, they wished to fawn upon the Talisman Order, hoping to offer timely assistance. But they never expected that the troublemaker at the Talisman Order this time would be from the Underworld Office, which made things incredibly difficult for them.
While they wanted to curry favor with the Talisman Order, they certainly didn't want to offend the Underworld Office in doing so. After all, the Underworld Office was no less formidable than the Talisman Order. In some respects, the Underworld Office was even harder to provoke, as it controlled the reincarnation of all living beings. Unless one had no intention of reincarnating, no one would willingly offend someone from the Underworld Office.
The appearance of these few individuals merely added more spectators to the scene. Han Fushi, seeing that no one was willing to help, and not even daring to utter a single harsh word, felt a surge of anger but chose not to bother with them at this moment.
In any case, Yang Haoran was already injured, and his side had gained three powerful Black Talisman Masters. Subduing Yang Haoran would be a piece of cake; whether outsiders helped or not was irrelevant.
At this moment, his thoughts were simple: once the matter of Yang Haoran was handled, he wouldn't let any of these onlookers off the hook. He would deal with them slowly later.
"Don't mind them! Kill Yang Haoran first!"
Seeing that the three Black Talisman Masters hadn't immediately acted on his command to attack Yang Haoran, Han Fushi ordered them again.
The appearance of the three Black Talisman Masters made Han Fushi abandon his idea of resorting to his last resort. With reinforcements present, there was no need for him to further overexert himself.
Just moments ago, the three had already decided to attack Yang Haoran, but the arrival of the other individuals interrupted them. Han Fushi's urging prompted the three to prepare to attack Yang Haoran again, though they didn't intend to kill him as Han Fushi wished. Instead, they wanted to capture Yang Haoran and clarify the situation first.
After all, Yang Haoran was a true Underworld Office agent, not just a Night Watcher. Killing him before understanding the situation would undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.
However, just as the three were about to attack Yang Haoran again, another section of space in the vicinity fluctuated violently. A spatial rift then appeared, and a figure slowly stepped out from within.
The newcomer was a woman, tall and strikingly beautiful, exuding an aura of arrogance that suggested she held nothing in the world in her regard.
"It seems I'm late."
The woman surveyed the scene with a cold expression, then her gaze fell upon Yang Haoran, and a faint smile appeared on her cool face.
"Heh, it seems I'm not too late either."
This alluringly cold woman was none other than Xu Meijing, the Emissary of Death of the Ancheng Underworld Division.
Xu Meijing's appearance made Yang Haoran's smile deepen considerably. He wasn't happy just because he had gained another helper; he was happy simply seeing Xu Meijing.
In contrast to Yang Haoran's joy, Han Fushi and the three Black Talisman Masters present were far from pleased. Han Fushi, in particular, looked even more grim.
Yang Haoran wasn't even dealt with, and now another Underworld Office agent had arrived. This was certainly not good for him. Another crucial point was that if only Yang Haoran were killed, the aftermath would be easier to handle; at worst, he could seek help from his master.
But if both Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing were killed, then things would become far more troublesome.
As for whether they had the ability to eliminate Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, Han Fushi hadn't even considered it, because in his view, with four Black Talisman Masters working together, Xu Meijing's appearance was simply her handing herself over on a silver platter.
"Xu Meijing, this is a grudge between our Ancheng Talisman Order and Yang Haoran. I advise you not to interfere, lest you lose your life."
Han Fushi naturally didn't want Xu Meijing to participate in this battle, so he stopped urging the three Black Talisman Masters to immediately attack Yang Haoran. Instead, he warned Xu Meijing, though his warning carried an undisguised threat.
"Heh, so arrogant. Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Meijing shifted her gaze from Yang Haoran to Han Fushi, asking with a cool expression.
When Xu Meijing asked her question like that, Han Fushi's face instantly turned as black as coal. In Ancheng, he was a person of standing and reputation. As the head of the Talisman Order, everyone in the circle knew him and gave him, Han Fushi, some face. Yet Xu Meijing feigned ignorance, making him feel immensely humiliated.
"Xu Meijing, don't play dumb with me. I'll ask you one last time: are you absolutely determined to interfere in this matter today? " Han Fushi asked Xu Meijing in a deep voice.
"Heh, if I'm not here to interfere, what am I doing here? Watching a show? I don't have that kind of free time. You few Talisman Masters ganging up on one of our Underworld Office agents, what? Do you think our Underworld Office has no one left?"
Xu Meijing not only gave Han Fushi a definitive answer but even retorted with a question of her own.
"Good, you've chosen your own path. Don't regret it later!"
Han Fushi's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone filled with murderous intent. This was his final warning to Xu Meijing.
"Regret? Heh heh, you lot? Are you sure you have the ability?"
Xu Meijing seemed to have heard something incredibly amusing. She glanced at Han Fushi, then at the other three Black Talisman Masters present, her tone brimming with utter disdain for all four of them.
