Realm of the Night God

Suddenly, the space above Yang Haoran's head started to violently shake, and then a series of black chains shot out from the void, densely packed in large numbers, looking like a mass of ominous black worms, waving and clawing above Yang Haoran's head!

With a rustling sound, the black chains spread out in all directions, and then, as if they had eyes, they targeted the corpse puppets below and launched an attack.

Several corpse puppets at the forefront had already approached Yang Haoran, hissing from their mouths and revealing sharp, slimy teeth, biting towards various parts of Yang Haoran's body.

Yang Haoran remained motionless, allowing the corpse puppets to bite him.

Just as these few corpse puppets were about to bite him, several black chains descended from the sky, fast as lightning, directly tearing these corpse puppets into pieces.

A layer of protective Yin Qi rose around Yang Haoran's body, blocking all the corpse poison that was sprayed out from the corpse puppets.

With the protection of the abundant chains, the corpse puppets couldn't get close to him at all, and as soon as they approached, they were torn apart by the chains.

Watching the endless stream of corpse puppets rushing towards him, watching them being shredded to pieces before his eyes, Yang Haoran's face showed no joy, and the habitual smile on his face had disappeared.

He had a complex expression on his face, then lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and quietly watched as these corpse puppets were crushed to powder under the fierce attacks of his chains.

The power difference between the two sides was too great. Even without using his full strength, these corpse puppets were no match for Yang Haoran. Under the chains formed by his Yin spirit power, the bodies of these corpse puppets were as fragile as tofu.

When the last corpse puppet was killed by the chains, Yang Haoran threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, revealing a smile that only he understood.

"If I had the power I have now, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened." He sighed inwardly, shaking his head with a bitter smile, then headed towards the direction where Ma Ling was. As he took each step, the waving chains quickly retracted back into the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they had never been there.

Seeing how decisively Yang Haoran had dealt with the incoming corpse puppets, the Spirit Police were stunned, and Ma Ling also had her mouth slightly open, a look of surprise on her face.

"Miss Ma, is he... is he the Night Watch from our AnchengYin Division? I've never heard of such a powerful person among the Night Watch of AnchengYin Division," one of the Spirit Police asked Ma Ling.

From the Spirit Police's words, he seemed to recognize Ma Ling and also had some knowledge of the AnchengYin Division.

"This elder is not the Night Watch, he is the Burial Master, the true Underworld Envoy," Ma Ling responded instinctively, still not fully recovered from her shock.

Upon hearing the words "Burial Master," the faces of the Spirit Police all changed drastically.

"Burial Master? Impossible! I've had the honor of seeing the Burial Master of Ancheng, and she is a woman. How could it be a man now? Has the top brass of AnchengYin Division been replaced?" the same Spirit Police officer asked again, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.

At this point, Ma Ling had recovered from her previous surprise, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"Hehe, I didn't say this elder is the top brass of AnchengYin Division. Let me tell you the truth - he is not the Burial Master of Ancheng, he is the Burial Master of Lecheng!"

Ma Ling's explanation not only failed to dispel the doubts of the Spirit Police, but instead made them even more confused and shocked.

"The Burial Master of Lecheng? He's actually come to Ancheng to help us deal with the zombies?" one of the Spirit Police still couldn't believe what Ma Ling was saying.

Ma Ling rolled her eyes and then said proudly, "Of course he's not that free. He came here to deal with the zombies because I invited him. Although I'm not close with the Burial Master of Ancheng, this elder and I are sworn brothers. Isn't that impressive?"

Hearing Ma Ling's explanation, the Spirit Police finally understood the situation.

"Impressive, impressive, Miss Ma is truly as powerful as the rumors say, with such wide connections," one of the Spirit Police officers smiled, but the movement immediately caused him pain, and the smile disappeared from his face.

At this time, Yang Haoran also approached the group. Before he could speak, Ma Ling excitedly spoke up.

"Wow, elder, it seems I underestimated your strength. You were so cool just now! Your power is even stronger than I imagined!"

Yang Haoran smiled and shook his head, then said, "I'm not as powerful as you think. My attack just now, although it seemed casual, was actually me using my full strength. Without opening my Heaven Soul, my abilities can only reach that level."

Yang Haoran's words were met with a mix of belief and disbelief, but he didn't seem interested in explaining further. Seeing that Ma Ling still seemed to want to ask something, he quickly changed the subject.

"Have you all fully expelled the corpse poison from your bodies?"

One of the officers, who seemed to be the leader, replied with a wry smile, "There wasn't enough time, so the corpse poison hasn't been fully expelled from our bodies yet." The f!u-l*l s&e$r#i.es$ l-ive!s on My V*i!r@tual@ L.ib-ra&ry E.m&p^i@re (@M|+V#|#L0E-M-PY&R*).

"In that case, let me help you completely remove the corpse poison from your bodies," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Haoran's words, the four officers' faces lit up, but they also felt a bit awkward. After all, Yang Haoran and Ma Ling had already saved them once, and now they had to trouble Yang Haoran to expel the corpse poison from their bodies, which they felt was not quite appropriate.

Yang Haoran understood the expressions on the faces of several people and smiled as he spoke: "This is not a big deal, it's just a small favor, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."

Hearing what Yang Haoran said, the several Spirit Police finally agreed, and Yang Haoran only took a few minutes to successfully extract the corpse poison from their bodies.

Without the corpse poison in their bodies, the several Spirit Police felt much lighter, and then repeatedly thanked Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran smiled and accepted the gratitude of the several Spirit Police, then turned his gaze to Ma Ling beside him. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze easily conveyed the message that he was telling Ma Ling that they could leave now, and the follow-up matters could naturally be left to the Spirit Police present.

Ma Ling understood Yang Haoran's meaning, nodded to Yang Haoran, and then said to the several Spirit Police: "You see those beehives hanging in the sky? They are all corpse puppets bound by Uncle's Yin spirit power. There are quite a few of these corpse puppets, and they all belong to you. As for this corpse fiend, I'll take it as the reward for our intervention this time."

As Ma Ling spoke, he pointed to the corpse puppets bound by Yin spirit power in the sky, and then pointed to the corpse fiend not far away, conveying his thoughts to the several Spirit Police.

The several Spirit Police did not raise any objections. If it were not for Yang Haoran and Ma Ling's timely arrival, they would not only have failed to complete the mission, but even lost their lives. Of course, they would not fight Ma Ling for the spoils of war.

Moreover, Ma Ling did not leave them empty-handed. Ma Ling only planned to take away one corpse fiend, and the other trapped corpse puppets would all be left to them. Their harvest was not small.

"Divine envoy, may I ask how long your chains can bind them?" one of the Spirit Police asked Yang Haoran.

"How long do you want to bind them?" Yang Haoran asked back.

"If possible, I'd like the chains to bind them for half a day," the Spirit Police said after thinking about it.

"No problem," Yang Haoran nodded with a smile, then snapped his fingers, and the vertical chains in the distant sky all broke, with the upper part merging into the void and the lower part of the corpse puppets falling down.

Although these corpse puppets were no longer hanging in the sky, the black chains wrapped around them still existed, and no matter how they struggled, they could not break free from the control of the chains.

"You can handle them, we'll take this corpse fiend and leave first," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Thank you, divine envoy, for your timely assistance today. I don't know how to address you, but if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely repay you for this favor," one of the Spirit Police said solemnly.

"My name is Yang Haoran, and as for repaying the favor, there's no need, as I didn't save you just to get your gratitude," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Just as Yang Haoran and Ma Ling were about to leave with the corpse fiend, a loud noise suddenly caught everyone's attention.
