Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran's reminder was not without reason. After all, one cannot judge a restriction barrier just by its surface appearance, just like humans. A smiling person may not truly be happy, and a crying person may not truly be in anguish. If one only looks at the surface, it's possible to suffer great losses.

"Based on your analysis, if we want to enter the villa, we can only go through the main entrance?" the sloppy man asked.

"Do you have a better plan?" Instead of answering the sloppy man's question, Yang Haoran asked in return.

"We'll just attack head-on. Anyone who dares to block our way, I'll kill them!" the sloppy man said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran looked at the sloppy man beside him with surprise. The sloppy man now had a fierce expression, with an unmistakable sense of urgency in his eyes.

"Attack head-on? Heh, you can't even sense the existence of the restriction barrier, how can you sense how many enemies are inside the villa? Are you sure there are only those five demon hunters in the villa? If they're not all in the villa right now, it would be simpler to deal with, but what if not only are all five of them there, but there are also other formidable guests staying at the villa? Do you think a head-on attack would result in their deaths or ours?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the sloppy man took a deep breath, trying to forcibly suppress the agitation within him, but the effect was not obvious.

"I can see that you care a lot about her. Since that's the case, why don't you bravely face yourself instead of torturing yourself?"

Yang Haoran didn't originally intend to say this, but seeing the sloppy man's current state, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, don't bother with him, he's just a nutcase!" Bai Xue spoke up, mocking him.

This time, the sloppy man didn't argue with Bai Xue. He stared at the villa, his expression extremely complex, and the urgency in his eyes was even stronger than before.

Yang Haoran's words just now caused a great disturbance in him, even though he refused them outright, but his heart was still greatly shaken.

"I don't really want to meddle in your affairs, but your current state is not a good omen. If you can't calm down a bit, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for our next move."

Yang Haoran's reminder caused the sloppy man to take another deep breath. If he hadn't sealed the fluctuations of the power within his body, he really wanted to open his independent space, take out a crate of beer, and drink several cans in one go.

Yang Haoran didn't continue to provoke the sloppy man, and he also stopped Bai Xue from taking the opportunity to run her mouth.

After a while, the sloppy man's emotions stabilized somewhat, but the urgency in his eyes was still evident. However, compared to before, his current state was already quite good.

"With your powerful sensory abilities, can you sense how many forces are fluctuating inside the villa?" the sloppy man asked.

"The distance is too far, and there's also the restriction barrier blocking us, so I can't tell," Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

The sloppy man fell silent for a moment, then thought about it and said through gritted teeth, "What if I find a way to sneak in and scout it out?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran shook his head, rejecting the sloppy man's suggestion.

"In your current state, sneaking in would only lead to trouble. Besides, how would you sneak in?"

The sloppy man's face was grim, his brow tightly furrowed, and he didn't speak further.

"I think we can wait outside like sitting on a tree stump, watching for a rabbit. Since the villa has a barrier set up, they might drive the target out of the villa," Bai Xue suggested.

"Those accustomed to space transmission rarely choose to travel by car, unless they have no other choice or want to drive around to clear their minds. Although the villa is enveloped by a barrier, temporarily disabling it before tearing through space for transmission is not a difficult task and wouldn't delay them much. Moreover, not all restriction barriers affect space transmission. If they have special means to teleport out of the villa without affecting the restriction barrier, wouldn't we just be waiting outside in vain?" Yang Haoran said.

Bai Xue thought about it and felt that Yang Haoran's analysis made sense.

"Why don't I find a way to sneak in? Underworld Envoy big brother, what do you think?" Bai Xue asked.

"You?" Yang Haoran looked at Bai Xue beside him and asked with a smile, "How do you plan to sneak in?"

"Well... hehe, of course, I'll take off my mask and use my beauty to mesmerize the handsome guards at the villa's entrance. Those five demon hunters definitely won't be guarding the villa's entrance. I'll pretend to be an acquaintance of the villa's owner. Although I can't guarantee a 100% success rate, it's not entirely impossible either. After all, I have some confidence in my abilities," Bai Xue said enticingly as she removed her mask, revealing her exquisite beauty.

"It's too dangerous to let you go in alone. After all, we don't know the current situation inside the villa. If you accidentally expose yourself, your situation would be perilous. We might not be able to rescue you in time. Once you fall into their hands, you can imagine that you'd also become one of their New Year's gifts to be sent out," Yang Haoran said.

As he said this, Yang Haoran's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

Bai Xue had intended to boast about her beauty when she heard Yang Haoran's words, but she witnessed the change in his expression.

"Underworld Envoy, big brother, have you thought of a way?" Bai Xue asked curiously.

Yang Haoran nodded, and the smile on his face became more pronounced.

"What you just said reminded me that I might have a method that could work."

As he spoke, Yang Haoran turned his gaze towards the sloppy man and asked, "You said earlier that those five demon hunters don't know what relationship you have with that demonic woman. Can you really confirm that?"

Sloppy man didn't know what Yang Haoran was trying to do, but he still calmly nodded and gave Yang Haoran an affirmative reply.

"I can confirm it!"

"Do you and those five demon hunters know each other?" Yang Haoran continued to ask.

"We know each other, but only know each other. Although we are all demon hunters, due to different values, we are not on the same path, and we rarely have any intersection in our daily lives," sloppy man answered.

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, then continued, "Let me ask you another question. Since you know these demon hunters, why didn't you directly pay a high price to have the target exchanged from them in the first place? That would have been safer and less troublesome, so why did you need me to take action?"

Sloppy man shook his head and said, "If I could have exchanged for her, why would I have gone through such a big hassle? Before finding you, I had already inquired about it and found out that none of the five of them had any intention of exchanging the demonic woman, and they had unanimously decided to use the demonic woman as a gift to please the branch. It was almost impossible for me to exchange for the demonic woman from them."

"If the benefits were in place, wouldn't they be moved?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

In Yang Haoran's opinion, as long as the benefits were in place, there was no reason for the other party not to be moved. However, after a brief thought, he understood why this path was not feasible for sloppy man.

Because sloppy man was not wealthy.

Sure enough, sloppy man's next words confirmed his guess.

"If the benefits were in place, of course, they would be moved. The key is that I couldn't offer them benefits that would interest them. The demonic pills I promised you were based on credit. Do you think I could offer them something that would interest them?" sloppy man said.

"Couldn't you also extend credit?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Those five won't buy that. By delivering the demonic woman to the branch, they would receive immediate and tangible benefits, which could even influence their future development. Do you think they would give the demonic woman to the branch or agree to my credit and give the demonic woman to me?"

"Moreover, I'm known for not being interested in women in the circle. If I suddenly paid a high price to get a demonic woman from them, people would also find it suspicious. But this is only secondary. The main issue is that I'm too poor."

After sloppy man's explanation, Yang Haoran's plan became more mature.

"You haven't talked to the five directly about exchanging the demonic woman, have you?" Yang Haoran continued to ask with a smile.

"No, the information I got was all learned indirectly. I didn't directly approach those five," sloppy man answered.

"Alright, I have a plan. Let me know if you think it will work."

As he spoke, the smile on Yang Haoran's face became more pronounced, and his eyes formed crescent shapes. This smile appeared both sunny and kind, like the warm spring sun.

However, those familiar with Yang Haoran knew that behind this sunny smile lay many sharp knives hidden.
