Realm of the Night God

Xu Meijing suddenly spoke up, causing Yang Haoran's heart to skip a beat.

However, upon hearing Xu Meijing's words, the stone in his heart was finally able to fall, and he hadn't even had time to respond before he suddenly discovered that Xu Meijing's body was emitting power fluctuations that were sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and were extremely unstable.

When strong, they surpassed his peak period, and when weak, they were not even comparable to the power fluctuations he was currently emitting.

Yang Haoran's facial expression changed, and this scene was not unfamiliar to him, as the same thing had just happened to Zhong Siyu.

Xu Meijing seemed to be about to break through!

It's not that everyone experiences power fluctuations that are sometimes strong and sometimes weak when breaking through a certain realm. It depends on the individual, and it's also related to their own realm and the series of preparations they made beforehand. There are many factors, and different factors bring about completely different results.

So, it's normal for power fluctuations not to appear, and breaking through is also normal. Appearing with strong and weak fluctuations is also not uncommon.

At this time, combined with Xu Meijing's previous words, Yang Haoran felt that it was almost certain that Xu Meijing was about to break through.

No wonder Xu Meijing had spent so much time inside the protective barrier. It turned out that Xu Meijing had already reached the edge of opening her earth soul, and previously, she had taken two soul pills at once, which was apparently to open her earth soul in one go.

However, what Xu Meijing didn't expect was that Zhong Siyu, who had swallowed the ghost from the Soul Suppression Tower, was also about to break through, and immediately chose to leave, not wanting to fight, and went to find a place to break through.

Meanwhile, Zhang Changchun and his son were finally cleaned up by Yang Haoran.

When Xu Meijing was inside the protective barrier, she didn't know about these things, because Yang Haoran didn't want her to be disturbed by external factors, so the protective barrier he set up could isolate some external movements, including sounds and power fluctuations.

And she had been keeping her eyes closed, so she didn't know what was happening outside, and her mind was only focused on one thought, which was to break through as soon as possible and then support Yang Haoran.

However, what she didn't expect was that it would take her so long, and she was worried that Yang Haoran would be overwhelmed, which made her anxious and affected her mental state, causing her to suffer a backlash, which was why she looked so painful, with fresh blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

After Yang Haoran opened the protective barrier, although she didn't open her eyes, she could sense the external situation, and discovered that there was only a wave of Yin spirit power left, and all other power fluctuations had disappeared.

She didn't know what had happened, so she opened her eyes and saw Yang Haoran standing in front of her with a hesitant expression.

She saw the worry in Yang Haoran's heart and felt a warmth in her heart, then quickly spoke up.

Although she was very curious about how the situation had changed, why there was only Yang Haoran left on the scene, and where everyone else had gone, she didn't have the time to ask, as she was about to break through and couldn't afford to be distracted.

So, she didn't ask much and continued to close her eyes, focusing all her energy on breaking through, and entrusting her life's safety to Yang Haoran.

At this time, Yang Haoran's heart was both shocked and delighted. He was delighted that Xu Meijing was about to open her earth soul so quickly, and his shock was also due to this.

Previously, he had secretly suspected that Xu Meijing's strength might have already surpassed his, because he knew Xu Meijing's character, and with the soul-refining cauldron, Xu Meijing would definitely use the fastest speed to improve her strength, because Xu Meijing didn't want to be suppressed by his strength, so she would definitely try her best to refine soul pills to improve her strength, and then show off in front of him, feeling a little proud.

Now it seemed that Xu Meijing's strength had indeed far surpassed his, although he was not far from opening his earth soul, but he was still far from being able to open it with just two soul pills.

Yang Haoran didn't envy Xu Meijing, nor did he feel jealous. He was genuinely happy for Xu Meijing.

However, this matter also gave him some anxiety. Xu Meijing was about to break through to the Earth Soul stage, and he needed to catch up too. If he didn't, the gap between their strengths would be too great, and Xu Meijing might look down on him. Moreover, if Xu Meijing encountered danger, as a man, what could he use to protect her?

So, he felt that his strength couldn't be too far behind Xu Meijing's. It was best to be as strong as possible, so he could protect the people he wanted to protect. The death of his parents had been a lifelong wound for him, and he didn't want to relive the tragedy.

"I'll clean up the battlefield immediately and take you away from here. Then, we'll find a quiet place for you to break through. Don't worry about anything else; I'll take care of everything."

Yang Haoran smiled in response and then quickly cleaned up the battlefield at top speed.

First, he extracted Zhang Changchun's soul and stored it in a soul gathering bead.

Next, he collected all the treasures that had burst out of Zhang Changchun's independent space into his own independent space. Due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to check what these treasures were or whether they were useful to him or not. He just stored them all in his independent space.

Then, he found the Soul Suppression Tower near Zhang Changchun's corpse. At this time, the tower had lost its power and had shrunk to the size of a palm, quietly lying in a crevice of a giant rock.

This Soul Suppression Tower was the Zhang family's most powerful mystical artifact. Although he wasn't an exorcist and didn't use mystical artifacts, that didn't mean others couldn't use it.

Moreover, just because he couldn't use it didn't mean he should deny its value. Such a powerful mystical artifact would be a waste if he didn't collect it.

Next, he found the formation disc that Zhang Changchun had used to control the Great Array of this place. Yang Haoran didn't know how Zhang Changchun had obtained this disc, but he was very clear about its power.

The previous battle hadn't damaged the disc, and the restriction barrier of this place was still intact, which meant that the formation flag hidden in the mountain was also undamaged.

In other words, as long as he found the matching formation flag, this Great Array could still be used normally.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Yang Haoran couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. These people had been fine when they arrived, but now they had become empty shells, devoid of even their souls, because their souls had been devoured during the previous battle.

Perhaps on their way here, they had thought that this mission wouldn't be too difficult, and with their strong lineup, they wouldn't encounter any unexpected events. But they had probably never dreamed that everything was actually a carefully designed trap by Zhang Changchun and his father. Content sourced from MV4LEMPYR – My Virtual Library Empire.

Yang Haoran looked at Wang Yiming's master, Zhang Changqing, and let out a soft sigh. This leader of the Lecheng Fu Sect had also fallen here, leaving behind not even his soul.

Although Zhang Changqing had some past conflicts with him, they weren't too serious, and it had been several years since then. Yang Haoran had long forgotten about it, and as long as Zhang Changqing didn't come to trouble him, he wouldn't bother to find trouble with Zhang Changqing or the Fu Sect.

Moreover, he was friends with Wang Yiming, and Zhang Changqing was Wang Yiming's master, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to confront Zhang Changqing.

Now that Zhang Changqing was dead, and his soul had been devoured by Zhang Changchun's father, their past conflicts had naturally dissipated.

Thinking about Wang Yiming's relationship with Zhang Changqing, Yang Haoran hesitated for a moment before storing Zhang Changqing's empty shell in his independent space, planning to return it to Wang Yiming after leaving this place.

He could see the emotions Wang Yiming had for Zhang Changqing, and he could also see how much Zhang Changqing loved his disciple. Therefore, he decided to take Zhang Changqing's shell, which would be a small favor to Wang Yiming.

Apart from Zhang Changqing's corpse, he wasn't interested in taking the other corpses, as he wasn't a collector of corpses. Taking them would be meaningless.

He took out a few fire talismans and burned the corpses on the ground, then collected all the mystical artifacts or treasures they had used into his storage bag. After ensuring that there were no leftovers, he used the formation disc to forcibly summon the hidden formation flag of this place.
