Realm of the Night God

The villa's expansion was successfully completed within the time frame set by Master Wu. Under Master Wu's guidance, Yang Haoran walked through every corner of the expanded villa.

This villa expansion involved building a new villa behind the original one, but this new villa was just a decoy. The real major project was underneath this new villa.

Beneath the villa, there was an underground space several times larger than the villa itself. According to Yang Haoran's requirements, this underground space was divided into different areas.

There were areas for research, specialized medical facilities, areas for detaining prisoners, and some areas that even Master Wu didn't know the purpose of. All these areas were constructed according to Yang Haoran's specifications.

After a careful inspection, Yang Haoran was relatively satisfied with this villa expansion. The reason he was only "relatively" satisfied, and not completely satisfied, was that some details had not yet reached his desired standard.

For these shortcomings in the details, Master Wu recorded them all and had people make the necessary improvements. During this improvement period, Yang Haoran went to the Underworld again and brought back three customized flesh vessels.

After bringing back the flesh vessels, Yang Haoran did not immediately summon the three Guardian Spirits. Instead, he waited for the underground space to be fully renovated.

It took another two days to complete the detailed renovations of the underground space. After Yang Haoran's inspection and approval, the entire project was successfully completed.

Outside the villa, Yang Haoran eagerly took out the set of formation flags he had obtained from the Ma Family. He called all the people inside the villa to gather around him, not to show off, but for a specific purpose.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, what are you calling us out here for so early in the morning? Are you going to take us out for breakfast?" Bai Xue asked with a coquettish smile.

Bai Xue had been out on missions more frequently lately, and Yang Haoran had hardly seen her. She had just returned to the villa the night before.

Hearing Bai Xue's words, Xiaokang also had a puzzled look on his face, wanting to ask, but was stopped by a glance from Xiu Juan.

Xiaokang opened his mouth but ultimately swallowed back the words. As Xiaokang grew up, he became more and more sensible. Many times, a single glance from Xiu Juan was enough for him to understand her intentions.

He also understood the meaning behind Xiu Juan's gaze this time - she was telling him not to ask unnecessary questions.

Yang Haoran smiled and replied, "I brought back something good recently, and I want to put it to good use."

"What good thing? Let me see!" Bai Xue asked curiously.

Yang Haoran did not answer but snapped his fingers, and a wooden box about one meter long appeared in front of them.

The wooden box floated in the air, and under the curious gaze of the group, it slowly opened, revealing the formation disc and formation flags inside.

"So it's a complete set of formation flags!" Bai Xue's face lit up with interest, and the others also looked excited.

"I called you all out here to let you know the placement of the formation flags. In the future, if this place becomes a battlefield, you need to know where the formation flags are so you can avoid damaging them," Yang Haoran said.

With that, Yang Haoran took the formation disc from the wooden box and activated it. As the formation disc was activated, the eight formation flags in the wooden box suddenly shot out and, under Yang Haoran's control, were inserted into the ground around the two villas in a very orderly manner.

The formation flags were inserted into the ground, their flags fluttering in the wind. After a few "swooshing" sounds, the formation flags disappeared into the ground, leaving no trace.

The eight formation flags had surrounded the two villas, including the underground space beneath them. The area enclosed by the formation flags was now under the protection of the formation.

Originally, Yang Haoran had planned to use this set of formation flags only in the newly expanded area, but after careful consideration, he changed his decision.

If he had only covered the new expansion area, the rest of their residence would not have the protection of the formation. So, after much deliberation, Yang Haoran decided to encompass both villas within the formation's coverage, ensuring that the entire area was protected.

As the formation flags disappeared into the ground, Yang Haoran activated the formation disc again. With the renewed activation, eight light columns erupted from where the formation flags had vanished. The light columns arched and intersected above the two villas, forming a massive light barrier that enveloped the entire area enclosed by the formation flags.

As the light barrier descended, the world before Yang Haoran and the others immediately changed.

The two villas disappeared, and the light barrier also vanished, as if the villas had never existed.

"Let's go in and take a look," Yang Haoran said, controlling the formation disc to leave an invisible mark on the others, allowing them to pass through the restriction barrier without being rejected. ReadaheadandgetupdatesbyvisitingM^VLEMPYR.

Following Yang Haoran, they entered the barrier's interior. What they saw was completely different from what they had imagined. Instead of the familiar surroundings, they found themselves in a world of mountains and rivers.

Towering mountains reaching the clouds, a vast river that seemed to have no end, birdsong and fragrant flowers - the entire world appeared beautiful, serene, and tranquil, like a legendary utopia. But the two villas were nowhere to be seen.

The group was captivated by the breathtaking scenery before them, feeling as if they were immersed in a painting.

"How beautiful! This is the ideal place for cultivation!" Bai Xue exclaimed, enjoying the environment.

Bai Xue, being a demon, particularly loved such beautiful surroundings. However, Yang Haoran's next words brought her back to reality.

"Hehe, it's beautiful, but unfortunately, it's not real."

Yang Haoran smiled and then grabbed the formation disc with one hand. He picked up a stone from the ground with the other hand and gently crushed it, turning it into powder.

Watching the stone powder slip through his fingers, Yang Haoran's smile faltered slightly.

Seeing the change in Yang Haoran's expression, the others looked puzzled. Bai Xue asked, "Underworld Envoy big brother, what's wrong?"

Yang Haoran regained his composure and replied with a smile, "Nothing. The illusion created by this formation is even more realistic than I imagined."

As he spoke, Yang Haoran gestured towards a wild flower in the distance, and the flower detached from the stem and flew towards him. He caught it and brought it to his nose, inhaling its sweet fragrance.

With a flick of his wrist, the flower petals began to fall, scattering on the ground, but they did not disappear, remaining as individual petals.

Yang Haoran then activated his Ghost Eye, expecting to see the real world. However, to his surprise, the scene before him did not revert to reality. Through the Ghost Eye, he still saw the mountains, rivers, and the unique natural scents.

If he didn't know that everything around him was an illusion, Yang Haoran would have believed that he was truly in the midst of a mountainous landscape, as even with the Ghost Eye activated, he could not see through the deception.

Feeling a sense of shock, Yang Haoran infused more Yin spirit power into his Ghost Eye, causing his eyes to emit black smoke. Slowly, the world before him began to change.

The towering mountains and the vast river vanished, and the familiar sight of the two villas and the surrounding vegetation reappeared.

Yang Haoran deactivated his Ghost Eye, and a broad smile spread across his face, his eyes shining with delight.

"This set of formation flags is even more powerful than I imagined!" Yang Haoran exclaimed.

"The world before us looks exactly like the real thing. This illusion is remarkably impressive. If someone were to wander in here, they would likely be trapped and find it very difficult to escape," Bai Xue said, clearly amazed.

"That's not all it can do. The illusion is just one aspect of this formation flag's capabilities," Yang Haoran said, and then once again activated the formation disc.
