Realm of the Night God

Zhang Changchun's father knew that it was impossible to kill Zhong Siyu, so he shifted his attack target to Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

The two of them were originally the targets of Zhang Changchun's father's plan, but he valued the ghost under the Soul Suppression Tower more. Therefore, when he appeared, he didn't immediately attack Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, but instead prepared to take down the ghost first.

He made this decision because, in his opinion, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing didn't have the qualifications to be his primary targets.

Both of them were Underworld Envoys, but they had only become Envoys for a short time, so in his opinion, their Yin spirit power was limited, and they couldn't bring him much value compared to the ghost under the Soul Suppression Tower. Therefore, he wouldn't consider them as his primary targets.

However, now that the ghost under the Soul Suppression Tower had been swallowed by Zhong Siyu and had escaped, he could only find compensation from Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

At the same time, the anger and frustration in his heart made him want to vent on Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

As soon as Zhang Changchun's father finished speaking, he transformed into a ball of Yin Qi and charged towards Yang Haoran's location.

Zhang Changchun saw this and quickly followed up with his formation disc, while the Zhang family's treasured Soul Suppression Tower shrank to the size of a palm and floated in the air behind him, under his control.

Yang Haoran, facing the attacking Zhang Changchun father and son, didn't show any signs of panic on his face. Instead, he looked very calm.

Not far in front of Yang Haoran, the Yin Qi condensed and transformed into Zhang Changchun's father's soul body. Zhang Changchun then landed beside his father.

This father-son duo didn't attack Yang Haoran immediately.

Yang Haoran knew that they didn't attack him right away, not because they wanted to let him and Xu Meijing off the hook, but because they had other plans.

As expected, Zhang Changchun's father's next words proved that Yang Haoran's guess was correct. They indeed had other plans.

"Yang Divine Envoy, do you have any interest in making a deal with me?" Zhang Changchun's father asked, his blood-red eyes fixed on Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran's face broke into a habitual smile as he asked, "Heh, what kind of deal do you want to make?"

He knew that this old man was trying to play tricks on him, but he didn't expose him and didn't plan to take the initiative to attack. After all, the more time he dragged out, the more time he could buy for Xu Meijing, which was a good thing for him.

So, since Zhang Changchun and his father weren't in a hurry to attack, he certainly wouldn't be in a hurry either.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks this father-son duo could come up with at this point.

"I want to make a simple deal with Yang Divine Envoy, just a trade of goods for lives. Do you have any interest?" Zhang Changchun's father asked, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

Yang Haoran's face showed interest, and he smiled as he asked, "A trade of goods for lives? Heh, that sounds interesting. Can you explain it clearly?"

Zhang Changchun's father nodded, looking at Yang Haoran, and responded in a low voice.

"Since Yang Divine Envoy is interested, I'll explain it clearly. My trade of goods for lives is simple. As long as Yang Divine Envoy can provide me with what I want, and the quantity meets my minimum requirements, I'll let Yang Divine Envoy leave here, and today's events will be forgotten. You see how that is?"

Yang Haoran had already guessed what Zhang Changchun's father wanted to ask for, but he pretended not to know, his face showing a puzzled expression.

"What do you want?"

Zhang Changchun's father immediately gave a response.

"Soul pills. I believe Yang Divine Envoy must still have some soul pills. If Yang Divine Envoy can provide five soul pills, then today's events will be forgotten, and I'll even apologize for my previous actions."

As soon as Yang Haoran heard Zhang Changchun's father's words, his smile froze for a moment, and then he reacted, his face feigning surprise.

"Five soul pills? Are you kidding me? Where can I find five soul pills for you?"

Zhang Changchun's father was plotting something, and Yang Haoran naturally understood that this was an attempt to squeeze more benefits out of him before attacking him and Xu Meijing.

According to his estimate, regardless of whether he took out the soul pill or not, Zhang Changchun's father would eventually make a move against him and Xu Meijing. The reason he was wasting time on him now was that Zhang Changchun's father was worried that if he killed them, he wouldn't be able to open up their independent spaces, and then he wouldn't be able to get any items inside their independent spaces.

This trick was not unfamiliar to him, and he wouldn't fall for it so easily. On the contrary, he found Zhang Changchun's father's method quite laughable.

Such a clumsy lie, if he believed it, then he would have lived in vain all these years.

This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.

Although he understood in his heart, there were some things he couldn't say directly, because he still wanted to delay for as much time as possible.

When Zhang Changchun's father heard Yang Haoran's response, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Yang Divine Envoy, I won't beat around the bush with you. You two are both Underworld Envoys, so the unreleased Yin spirit power in your bodies is very useful to us ghosts. However, according to the information I've obtained, you and Divine Envoy Xu have only been Burial Masters for a few years, so your strength is relatively limited. Therefore, the Yin spirit power in your bodies won't be as helpful to me as I imagined. Compared to that, I'd rather get enough soul pills from you. As long as you give me satisfactory soul pills, I'll naturally let you off the hook."

Yang Haoran's face showed hesitation, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Zhang Changchun's father saw this and furrowed his eyebrows even more tightly. He glanced at Yang Haoran, then swept his gaze over Xu Meijing inside the protective barrier, and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Haoran.

"Yang Divine Envoy, I don't have much time to waste on you. Do you understand my meaning?"

Yang Haoran nodded slightly, a bitter smile on his face.

"I understand what you mean, but I don't have that many soul pills on hand right now. Can... can we negotiate?"

Zhang Changchun's father let out a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"It seems like Yang Divine Envoy isn't very sincere!"

Yang Haoran's face showed panic, and he quickly explained.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not insincere. It's just that I really don't have that many soul pills. If I did, I would have taken them myself long ago, and I wouldn't be..."

Yang Haoran didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

He had thought that Zhang Changchun's father would ask him how many soul pills he had, and then he would stall for time by discussing it. But to his surprise, Zhang Changchun's father didn't ask any more questions and instead made a sudden move!

Zhang Changchun's father's soul body suddenly transformed into a ball of Yin Qi, which rushed towards Yang Haoran with incredible speed. At the same time, Zhang Changchun also activated his formation disc!

The distance between them was not far, and Zhang Changchun's father's speed was extremely fast. Yang Haoran was caught off guard and was immediately entangled by the Yin Qi transformed from Zhang Changchun's father's soul body.

"Do you think you're the only smart one, and everyone else is a fool? I can see that you're stalling for time. You had your chance, and you didn't cherish it. Now, don't blame me for not being polite!"

The Yin Qi entangling Yang Haoran's body took on a ferocious old face, its expression twisted with anger, its voice full of rage.

At this moment, Zhang Changchun's father was indeed very angry. After his plan failed, his heart was filled with anger and frustration. However, to extract more benefits from Yang Haoran, he forced himself to hold back his anger.

Although he also knew that it wouldn't be easy to get Yang Haoran to hand over the soul pills voluntarily, he still decided to try.

The result of his attempt was not unexpected, but it didn't affect his anger, because Yang Haoran's stalling in front of him made him feel insulted.

What he said to Yang Haoran now was his final warning!

Unfortunately, Yang Haoran was not intimidated.

"Heh heh, I may not be smart, but I'm not a fool either. Otherwise, I would have happily handed over my soul pills to you."
