Chapter 779: Shocking News
Master Wu had just finished speaking, covering up the abnormal reactions of the other three people, in order to prevent Wang Yiming from overthinking, and also to remind the three of them.
"Who was the one you just talked to?" Master Wu didn't want Wang Yiming's attention to remain focused on Bai Xue, so he quickly spoke up again.
"It's the second-in-command of the AnchengYin Division, Divine Envoy Xu. When she's not around, she's in charge of all the major and minor affairs of the division. This is similar to how Old Wu handles things. When I left Ancheng, I specifically gave her a Sound Transmission Talisman, so if we discover anything, we can notify each other in the first instance."
Wang Yiming smiled faintly and explained to Master Wu.
"It turns out that's the case. Since she's said so, this matter should be true, and we don't need to worry about Boss's safety anymore."
Master Wu smiled, his facial expression appearing very relaxed and natural.
But at this moment, Wang Yiming suddenly thought of something, and the faint smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness.
"Brother Yang is safe and sound, so I don't need to worry about him anymore. I still have other things to attend to at the Fu Sect, so I won't linger here any longer."
As he spoke, Wang Yiming stood up from the sofa, preparing to leave.
"I don't know how to comfort you in this situation, I can only hope you'll be more restrained in your grief."
In the previous narrative, Wang Yiming had mentioned that his master had also died in that great battle. Previously, because he was worried about Yang Haoran's safety, he had devoted all his time and energy to searching for Yang Haoran.
Now that he knew Yang Haoran was safe and sound, this matter naturally didn't require him to worry anymore. Under normal circumstances, he would still be curious about how Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing had escaped, and would also be curious about whether Zhang Changchun and his son were alive or dead. But the current situation was different.
Currently, he didn't have the heart to care about these things; he only wanted to quickly handle his master's aftermath, and other matters seemed insignificant in comparison. He naturally didn't have the heart to care about them.
The only thing that made him feel regretful was that when he returned to the scene of the incident, he didn't find his master's body.
Master Wu knew that Wang Yiming had to hurry back to handle his master's aftermath, so he didn't try to detain him. However, out of gratitude, he personally saw Wang Yiming off at the villa, until Wang Yiming tore through space and left. Only then did he collect his relaxed expression, his face turning serious as he returned to the villa.
"That Xu Meijing woman is really something. She's almost dead, but she still says she's fine. It's really impressive that she can say that with a straight face."
Seeing Master Wu return to the villa, Bai Xue's expression turned ugly, her voice cold as she spoke, her tone filled with disgust and dissatisfaction.
Although the voice transmitted through the Sound Transmission Talisman wasn't Xu Meijing's, she could guess with her toes that the other party would say such a thing, and it was definitely Xu Meijing's instructions. Otherwise, who would dare to speak so rashly about such a major matter, even if she was the second-in-command of the AnchengYin Division?
"Bai Xue, don't be angry for now. If you put aside your prejudices and think carefully, you'll realize that she's doing this for a reason, and it's also a warning to me."
Master Wu opened his mouth to persuade, but at this moment, Bai Xue was still fuming, and fundamentally couldn't listen to his persuasion.
"What reason? I only feel that she's talking nonsense!"
Bai Xue spoke without good intentions, and Master Wu heard her words, sighing and shaking his head. Then, he spoke to Bai Xue again.
"In the current situation, if the spirit masters knew that Boss was severely injured or had already fallen, do you think there would be what kind of consequences?"
When Master Wu asked her like that, Bai Xue's eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had understood, although she had a belly full of anger, but she didn't say anything more, only letting out a cold snort to express her inner dissatisfaction with Xu Meijing.

"Miss Bai Xue is as smart as ice and snow, I believe you must have understood the meaning behind my words. For safety's sake, we should actually do it this way."
Initially, Master Wu was prepared to mobilize all his power to search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty, but now he felt that he should make some adjustments in the details.
Otherwise, not only would they not find the Mysterious Ice Beauty, but they would also stir up big trouble.
Next, Master Wu spent some time giving instructions to Bai Xue and Xiu Juan.
The content of the instructions was mainly to hope that they wouldn't leak the news of Yang Haoran's serious injury, because the more people who knew, the more harm it would bring to them. This was also the reason why he hadn't told Wang Yiming the truth earlier.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Wang Yiming, but the more people who knew, the more mouths there would be, and the possibility of the news being leaked would increase. Sometimes, it wasn't that you didn't say anything, but you couldn't keep the secret.
Moreover, Wang Yiming's pressure was already great, and he not only had to worry about Yang Haoran's affairs but also had to busy himself with handling his master's aftermath. So, in Master Wu's view, not telling Wang Yiming about Yang Haoran's serious injury was also a good thing, at least it wouldn't let him continue to worry about it.
Apart from not leaking the news, Master Wu also gave instructions on how to handle visitors, and after making sure there were no omissions, he brought Xiaokang and left the villa to head towards the Death God Temple.
Currently, Lecheng was not too peaceful, but compared to other cities, Lecheng was relatively good, at least for the time being, there were no other forces directly attacking Lecheng.
However, spirit masters had always existed in Lecheng, and after being cleaned up by Yang Haoran last time, they were currently lying low, but they were like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, and Master Wu couldn't help but be on guard against them.
Upon arriving at the South Lake Death God Temple, Master Wu immediately notified all Night Watch members to gather for a meeting, and his method of notification was to activate the Death God pendant.
However, the Death God pendant he activated was not the one given to them by Yang Haoran, which was used to protect their lives and would only be used in times of extreme danger.
The Death God pendant he activated was not from Yang Haoran's hands but from his own, and the Death God pendant he had created was only used as a communication tool, unlike Yang Haoran's Death God pendant, which could release a protective barrier in critical moments.
This so-called communication was not a real conversation but a kind of reminder. As long as he activated the corresponding Death God pendant, the other Night Watch members' Death God pendants would immediately react.
He had instructed them when he gave them the Death God pendant that if it reacted, it meant there was an urgent matter that required them to gather, and they had to drop everything and follow the Death God pendant's guidance to the destination.
Since giving them his created Death God pendant, he had activated it multiple times, and the effect was good, with the other Night Watch members always able to arrive in the shortest time possible.
Two hours later, all Night Watch members gathered at the South Lake Death God Temple, and Master Wu didn't waste any time, immediately making arrangements according to the current situation.
Because he was preparing to take a few trusted people to search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty for Yang Haoran, which would not only reduce the number of people in the Night Watch team but also take him, the second-in-command, away, and it would be impossible to return in a short time.
This was an extremely dangerous approach, and once he left, Lecheng's Yin Division would be left with only an empty shell. If enemies took advantage of this opportunity to attack, it would be a fatal blow to Lecheng's Yin Division. Therefore, he had to make detailed arrangements and adjustments to the Night Watch's original posts according to the needs.
This matter was very complicated and time-consuming, and until the sky gradually darkened, his arrangements were still not finished.
It wasn't that he didn't want to settle the matter quickly, but he didn't want to do it superficially. Since Yang Haoran had entrusted Lecheng's Yin Division to him, he had to take responsibility to the end. If anything went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Yang Haoran.
Just as he was worrying about this, Bai Xue suddenly arrived at the South Lake Death God Temple and found him, bringing an extremely shocking piece of news: Xu Meijing had already found the Mysterious Ice Beauty and had sent it to Feng Xiao's hands
