Chapter 508: Regulations of the Yin Division
Not all ghosts among the ghosts are willing to follow the Underworld Envoy, because they want to be free.
However, some ghosts, after experiencing life and death many times and witnessing the terribleness of the Yin Division, they want to follow the Underworld Envoy.
Because, it's better to rest in the shade of a big tree, by following the Underworld Envoy, at least they don't have to worry about being chased around by the Underworld Envoy.
This young man's Guardian Spirit belongs to the latter.
Since he became the young man's Guardian Spirit, he has narrowly escaped soul dispersion many times, and has also witnessed the terribleness of the Underworld Envoy. Plus, the young man often abused him, so he has long wanted to find a new big tree.
It's just that because he has signed a contract with the young man, he is unable to break free from the young man's control, and he dares not express this idea at all.
Now, the young man is dead, and his contract with the young man has also ended.
He originally just wanted to flee this place, regain his freedom, and let himself fly freely in the vast sky. But since Yang Haoran did not open the barrier, he could not leave this place, and Old Man Lu's words made him feel that they had some truth, and the woman's advice also made him a little tempted.
But what he never expected was that Yang Haoran would also extend an olive branch to him. Compared to Yang Haoran's olive branch, the woman's advice was nothing.
The woman and Old Man Lu both noticed the burning fire in the malevolent spirit's eyes, and the two of them secretly exclaimed that it was not good.
"Fool! If you, a malevolent spirit, believe in an Underworld Envoy, you'll be close to death!" Old Man Lu scolded.
After Old Man Lu's words, the woman also spoke up.
"Old Man Lu is right, if you believe in an Underworld Envoy, you may not even know how you died. Hehe, perhaps you don't know, according to the regulations of the Yin Division, Underworld Envoys are not allowed to cultivate ghosts. If they also cultivate ghosts, what's the difference between them and us spirit masters?"
Saying this, the woman turned her gaze to Yang Haoran, and at this moment, Yang Haoran, as if he had not heard the woman's previous words, casually wiped the fresh blood on his mouth. En$joy the s^to$r^y by r.ead%in&g on M|^V|^L^E%M+PYR.
"Hehe, Yang Haoran, do you think I'm right? As an Underworld Envoy, seeing the situation unfavorable to yourself, you actually use such means to deceive a malevolent spirit. Don't you feel ashamed and embarrassed?" the woman asked with a smile.
Yang Haoran glanced at the induced Guardian Spirit, seeing that the Guardian Spirit's eyes had lost the previous burning fire, and his expression had become vigilant. He did not show any disappointment on his face, but his smile became even more lush. He then turned his gaze back to the woman.
The woman was right, according to the regulations of the Yin Division, all the ghosts obtained by the Underworld Envoy must be handed over to the Yin Division, and they are not allowed to cultivate them privately. This is also the reason why he originally wanted to send Xiu Juan to the underworld. If he hadn't considered Xiaokang's feelings, he wouldn't have left Xiu Juan behind.
But in the end, he chose to keep Xiu Juan by his side, and this act of his was a violation of the Yin Division's rules.
However, this matter can be big or small. If the higher-ups don't pursue it, it won't be a big deal. If they do investigate it, they can also give him a big hat.
In his villa, he was keeping Xiu Juan, a ghost, and this was no secret. To prevent this matter from bringing him too much trouble, he had made a lot of preparations. If the higher-ups really investigated this matter one day, he also had enough reasons to exculpate himself.
As for the four-person group he cultivated later, except for a few people in the villa who knew of their existence, no one else knew about them. He had also specifically instructed the four-person group not to reveal his identity in front of outsiders, just to avoid bringing trouble to himself.
After all, keeping one ghost is completely different from keeping multiple ghosts. He dared not do it openly, otherwise, it would be difficult to handle the aftermath if something went wrong.
Now, the woman obviously had some understanding of the Yin Division's regulations, at least in this aspect she understood, and therefore said these words to persuade the man's Guardian Spirit not to believe him.
However, if Yang Haoran were to give in just based on the woman's words, he would not be Yang Haoran.
"You're right about half of it and wrong about half of it. It's true that our Yin Division has regulations, and Underworld Envoys are not allowed to cultivate ghosts. But regulations are dead, and people are alive. What's wrong with me cultivating a ghost to help with my work?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"Hehe, you say it so casually, but do you dare to do it?" the woman asked with a smile.
"Hehe, why wouldn't I dare? Since I've said these words, I dare to do it. I not only dare to take him under my command, but if you two are willing, I also dare to take you in."
Yang Haoran smiled as he said this, and towards the end, he turned his gaze to the woman and Old Man Lu's Guardian Spirits.
When he said these words, the people and ghosts present all had changes in their expressions, with the biggest changes being in the woman and Old Man Lu.
At this moment, Old Man Lu and the woman seemed to have realized that Yang Haoran's intention was not in the young man's Guardian Spirit, but in the three Guardian Spirits present!
The two of them cursed Yang Haoran in their hearts, calling him a shameless scoundrel who didn't follow the rules, and actually used such shameless means.
While cursing Yang Haoran in their hearts, the two of them immediately looked at their own Guardian Spirits, and sure enough, their Guardian Spirits were shaken!
This scene immediately ignited a raging fire in their hearts!
If their two Guardian Spirits really turned against them under Yang Haoran's temptation, their situation would be dangerous. Without Guardian Spirits, spirit masters are like demon hunters without demonic weapons, or Underworld Envoys without soul weapons - their strength would be greatly diminished.
The key is that if the Guardian Spirits turn against them, they not only have to deal with Yang Haoran, but also their own Guardian Spirits. The consequences can be imagined.
"I advise you not to listen to his nonsense. Use your brain. Have you ever seen an Underworld Envoy keeping ghosts under their command? If you are really tempted by him, the only result will be soul dispersion!" The woman's expression turned grim as she spoke sternly.
Yang Haoran heard this, his expression unchanged, and asked with a smile: "Can you be sure that the Underworld Envoy doesn't have any ghosts under their care? How many Underworld Envoys have you seen?"
Confronted by Yang Haoran's words, the woman's face turned bright red. Yang Haoran's words had indeed hit the mark, because she had indeed not seen many Underworld Envoys, and what right did she have to be certain that all Underworld Envoys did not secretly cultivate ghosts?
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I currently have ghosts under my care, and this is no secret in our Lecheng. If you don't believe me, you can go to Lecheng and inquire about it."
Yang Haoran's words, while seemingly directed at the woman, were actually meant for the three Guardian Spirits present.
Hearing Yang Haoran's words, the woman's expression became even more unsightly, but the three Guardian Spirits, especially the young man's Guardian Spirit, their reactions became quite intriguing.
Seeing that the woman could not refute Yang Haoran, and observing the three Guardian Spirits becoming restless, Old Man Lu decided to intervene before the situation spiraled out of control.
"Don't waste any more words with him, just kill him first!" Old Man Lu said in a deep voice. As he spoke, a terrifying spiritual power suddenly surged from within him, and his hands began to rapidly form seals.
In that moment, although Yang Haoran did not make a move, his attention never left the woman and Old Man Lu. As soon as Old Man Lu began forming seals, Yang Haoran knew he was about to perform a spirit summoning, so without hesitation, he moved to control the Waning Moon to attack Old Man Lu.
However, Old Man Lu's sealing speed was incredibly fast, his fingers moving in a blur, and in the blink of an eye, the sealing was complete.
"Spirit summoning, Bone Spikes!!!" Spiritual power gathered above Old Man Lu's head, forming a multitude of sharp bone spikes that then rained down towards Yang Haoran.
The bone spikes were incredibly fast, reaching Yang Haoran in an instant. Faced with this situation, Yang Haoran switched from offense to defense, and his soul weapon, the Waning Moon, immediately grew in size, rapidly spinning to shield him from the attack.
