Realm of the Night God

After Xu Meijing swung her two swords, she barely managed to shatter the white light pillar that the Array Formation had dropped.

At the same time, the ghost that had come out of the Soul Suppression Tower took advantage of the chaos to escape into the distance.

The old man, who had been released from the wooden box by Zhang Changchun, had been thinking of temporarily leaving the area because his current state was no match for the old man.

However, he didn't dare to make a move because he hadn't found a suitable opportunity, fearing that he would become the first target of attack.

Now that the old man had killed Zhang Changqing, Yang Haoran had saved Wang Yiming, and the stalemate had been broken, he felt that it was the best time for him to escape.

Since the Array Formation had covered the entire mountain, he would have to reach the edge of the barrier and break it open to leave. In his opinion, his current strength was not as good as the old man's, but he was still very powerful, and at least among the people present, no one was his match. Breaking open the restriction barrier of the Array Formation would be a piece of cake, but he had to reach the edge of the barrier first.

He had also thought about staying put and trying to destroy the Array Formation, but that would consume a lot of his power, and it was not certain to succeed, because the old man was not someone to be trifled with.

So, he personally thought that it would be better to retreat quietly and then break open the barrier to leave. Once his strength had recovered to its peak, he would directly attack the Zhang family and swallow the old man!

The ghost was very cautious, but it was still discovered by the old man.

If he had to choose between the Soul Suppression Tower and the ghost, he would definitely choose the ghost without hesitation, because this ghost was the key to his promotion to Ghost King, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

That's why, as soon as the ghost escaped into the distance, he discovered it in the first instant.

Yang Haoran snatched the opportunity, and the old man originally wanted to regain face by pursuing and killing Wang Yiming, but seeing the ghost escape, he changed his mind.

"Changchun, leave these people to you. Except for the two Underworld Envoys, who must be captured alive, kill everyone else and don't leave any souls behind."

The old man instructed Zhang Changchun and then, with his soul body transformed into Yin Qi, chased after the escaping ghost like a dark cloud.

The old man wanted to capture Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing alive because they were Underworld Envoys, and their Yin spirit power was a great supplement for ghosts. By capturing them alive, he could slowly absorb their Yin spirit power, bit by bit, until he had absorbed it all. As long as he could absorb their Yin spirit power, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

But if they died, the Yin spirit power left in their bodies would dissipate quickly, and it would be impossible to recover. At that time, he could only absorb their souls.

Although absorbing their souls would also increase his strength to some extent, it was still inferior to absorbing their Yin spirit power.

As long as he could capture them alive, he could not only absorb their Yin spirit power but also their souls in the end. In the old man's opinion, this was the only way to fully exploit their value as Underworld Envoys.

As for why he wanted to kill everyone else, even leaving no souls behind, it was to prevent the truth from getting out.

Once the truth was revealed, their Zhang family would really face a catastrophic disaster, because they had invited many influential people today. If their friends and family or organizations found out, they would definitely not let the Zhang family off.

So, the Zhang family couldn't leave any survivors. As long as today's events didn't leak out, they could fabricate a perfect lie to cover it up when someone came to investigate.

Zhang Changchun understood his father's intentions and knew what to do even if his father didn't instruct him.

"Dad, don't worry, I've got this!"

Zhang Changchun responded to his father while once again activating the formation disc in his hand, causing a loud rumbling sound as the Array Formation dropped another white light pillar from the sky.

It was just that this time, it wasn't a single white light pillar, but two pillars falling at the same time, one crashing towards Xu Meijing and the other towards Yang Haoran!

In this situation, Yang Haoran didn't have time to take care of Wang Yiming, so he threw Wang Yiming to the ground and didn't even have time to tell Wang Yiming to be careful before immediately controlling his soul weapon, Waning Moon, to face the white light pillar falling towards him.

Xu Meijing's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and she faced the white light pillar falling towards her with an expression as calm as ever, holding Death Slayer and advancing forward to slash at the incoming white light pillar.

The powers of both sides collided, producing a massive explosion that sent a powerful shockwave spreading rapidly in all directions, directly blasting Wang Yiming, Zhang Li, and Ma Yuanjin out of the way.

Zhang Li and Wang Yiming were relatively okay, as they hadn't suffered much injury previously, and although they felt a surge of energy inside them, it didn't leave them severely injured.

However, Ma Yuanjin was different. Ma Yuanjin was already severely injured, and his life was hanging by a thread. When he was affected by the shockwave, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his breathing became even weaker.

"This Array Formation is from the Holy Mother Church, and the Holy Light it releases has an extremely strong restraining effect on all dark powers, so you shouldn't confront it head-on. Try to dodge and find an opportunity to attack Zhang Changchun!" Always read from the source: M|V|LE4MPYR.

Ma Yuanjin didn't even bother to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth as he hastily warned Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, who were fighting against the Holy Light.

In terms of array formation research, Ma Yuanjin had some expertise, and among the people present, only he could be considered a professional. He had immediately recognized that the Array Formation Zhang Changchun was using was from the Holy Mother Church, releasing Holy Light that had an extremely strong restraining effect on dark powers.

Ma Yuanjin's voice was loud, so everyone present heard him clearly, including Zhang Changchun, who was controlling the Array Formation.

Zhang Changchun and Ma Yuanjin were old acquaintances, and Zhang Changchun knew about Ma Yuanjin's expertise in array formations. To avoid Ma Yuanjin ruining his plan, he felt he had to silence Ma Yuanjin.

At this moment, he was relying on this Array Formation. If Ma Yuanjin, the array formation master, discovered the weakness of this formation, it would be unable to unleash its ideal destructive power, which was not what Zhang Changchun wanted to see.

Thinking this, Zhang Changchun's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and he made up his mind.

At the same time, a series of explosions could be heard from a distance, causing the entire mountain peak to tremble. It was clear that the old man had caught up with the ghost and was engaged in a fierce battle.

The two of them were extremely powerful, and their battle was even more astonishing.

Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing were having a hard time resisting the Holy Light. The two of them, who hadn't fully unleashed their powers, were at a disadvantage against this Great Array. The reason they hadn't unleashed their full powers was because they had reservations.

However, Xu Meijing hated being in this passive situation, where she had the power but couldn't use it, and was instead being suppressed by the opponent. This made her feel very unhappy.

She flashed to the side, dodging the Holy Light. Without her resistance, the remaining power of the Holy Light struck the ground, producing a massive explosion that created a large crater.

Yang Haoran also withdrew Waning Moon at this time, his body flashing to the side to dodge. Without Waning Moon's resistance, the Holy Light struck the ground where he had previously been, creating another deep crater.

The ground was hit twice in an instant, causing the earth to shake violently, with cracks spreading everywhere, and rocks flying like bullets. The violent power rapidly spread in all directions.

This scene made Ma Yuanjin's face change drastically, especially Ma Yuanjin, whose eyes revealed a desperate expression.

At this time, his physical condition was too poor, and if he was affected again, he would likely lose his life.

Just at this critical moment, a figure appeared in front of him, controlling a bagua mirror to set up a shield in front of him at an extremely fast speed.

Boom!!

The shield cracked, but didn't shatter. This person's actions allowed Ma Yuanjin to temporarily preserve his life.

The person who suddenly intervened was, of course, not Yang Haoran, because Yang Haoran didn't have the time to rescue him at this moment. The person who intervened was the young Zhang Li.
