Realm of the Night God

Xu Meijing's voice rang out, and the scene immediately fell silent. Those who were about to speak also forced themselves to swallow their words.

The woman who had spoken first glanced at Xu Meijing, seeing that Xu Meijing still had a cold and arrogant expression on her face. Her face suddenly turned ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, she still mustered up the courage to speak.

"Divine Envoy Xu, you're also a victim of this incident. I don't understand why you want to help the Zhang family."

Although she tried her best to control herself, her tone still revealed a hint of anger.

Xu Meijing's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her face showed displeasure. She let out a cold hum, just about to teach this woman a lesson, but Yang Haoran stopped her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Changchun and his son have already scattered their souls and fled. From now on, they won't appear again. I can guarantee this to you. Your grudges, as well as my grudge against Divine Envoy Xu, have more or less ended with the scattering of their souls."

Yang Haoran's words naturally drew everyone's attention, and all eyes were fixed on him.

Before coming here, he had some resentment towards the Zhang family, after all, he had almost lost his life. It was impossible for him not to be angry.

Especially when he saw the innocent children, his anger and resentment not only disappeared unconsciously but also moved him to pity.

No matter what, these children were absolutely innocent in his eyes. Letting them pay for the mistakes of their elders was something he couldn't accept.

Adding to that, Zhang Li had just explained that everyone related to this matter had died, and they had all died at the hands of these avengers. The remaining Zhang family members were innocent, and although others might not believe it, he believed Zhang Li's words were true.

It was because he considered these factors that he decided to speak up and mediate. The latest chapters are always available first on MV5LEMPYR.

He felt that he had never been a soft-hearted person, but there was a head to every debt, and even if he had resentment in his heart, he couldn't vent it on unrelated people.

The remaining women, children, and the sick of the Zhang family had initially thought Yang Haoran was here to cause trouble, so they didn't have a good impression of him, and even included him in their hatred.

But Yang Haoran's words were completely unexpected.

Firstly, they didn't think Yang Haoran would speak up for them, and secondly, they didn't believe that Zhang Changchun and his son had really died.

Zhang Changchun's father had died early on, and this was not a secret within their entire family. However, they didn't know that Zhang Changchun's father had turned to the Ghost Path and continued to exist in this world as a ghost. If it weren't for the avengers finding them and Zhang Li's explanation, they would probably never have known that Zhang Changchun's father had been living in this world all along.

After the great battle, the Zhang family didn't find Zhang Changchun's corpse. The avengers who came to avenge their relatives and friends also didn't succeed in collecting the bodies, because their corpses had been turned to ashes by Yang Haoran's fire talismans.

It was easy for the avengers to confirm whether their relatives and friends had been killed, as many people had witnessed the scene.

However, whether Zhang Changchun had died, and whether his father's soul had scattered, only Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing knew. Xu Meijing didn't mention it, and Yang Haoran hadn't mentioned it before, so naturally, no one else knew.

So, some people in the Zhang family still had a thread of fantasy in their hearts, thinking that Zhang Changchun and his son were still alive, just severely injured and recovering somewhere.

Not only did some members of the Zhang family feel this way, but even the avengers who came for revenge had similar concerns in their hearts.

However, at this moment, Yang Haoran directly announced the death of Zhang Changchun and his son in front of everyone, and even claimed that their souls had scattered, which made the Zhang family members unable to believe it and shocked the avengers present.

In fact, Zhang Changchun and his son did not have their souls scattered; they were only absorbed into the soul-gathering bead by Yang Haoran. As for why Yang Haoran said this, there must be his considerations.

"Is my grandfather... really gone?"

It was Zhang Li who spoke up, and his body visibly shook after hearing the news, clearly indicating that this blow was huge for him.

Although Zhang Changchun did not acknowledge him as his grandson, he did not deny Zhang Changchun as his grandfather because of this.

At this moment, he asked Yang Haoran this question, not only because he wanted to ask, but also because everyone present, except for Xu Meijing, wanted to ask.

Yang Haoran looked at Zhang Li, but did not explain, instead nodding slightly to confirm that he was not lying, and then swept his gaze across the crowd.

"It seems that Divine Envoy Xu did not tell you about this, so you all seem to know nothing. Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth, so you won't have to make wild guesses. Zhang Changchun and his son have indeed had their souls scattered, but not at the hands of me and Divine Envoy Xu, but at the hands of a powerful person."

Yang Haoran spoke with a straight face, and Xu Meijing, who was listening on the side, wanted to laugh, but she still managed to suppress her smile, although her expression looked unnatural.

No one responded, but from their facial expressions, it seemed that most of them did not believe Yang Haoran's words.

Yang Haoran, of course, knew that it was impossible to make everyone believe him with just a few words, so he naturally had a follow-up plan.

"After I forcibly sent Ma Yuanjin and the others away, Divine Envoy Xu and I quickly fell into a desperate situation because the gap in our strength was too great, and we were no match for Zhang Changchun and his son. Just as..."

Yang Haoran continued to speak with a straight face, without any sign of embarrassment, no matter how you looked at it.

However, the people present were not all fools, and it was not easy to deceive them with just a few words, so before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman whose husband had died.

"You claimed to have the ability to forcibly send Ma Yuanjin and the others away, so why didn't you have the ability to escape when it was your turn? Who would believe such a ridiculous lie?"

In her opinion, Yang Haoran's words were full of loopholes, and she felt that anyone with a bit of brains would not believe his words.

Yang Haoran, of course, had anticipated that someone would raise questions, and he was prepared for it.

"At first, I was able to forcibly send Mr. Ma and the others away because there was an opportunity at the time. However, Divine Envoy Xu was still recovering from her injuries, and I couldn't possibly leave him behind and escape on my own, so I had to send Mr. Ma and the others away. Later, we also thought about finding an opportunity to escape, but Zhang Changchun and his son didn't give us such a chance, and we could only fight to the death and create an opportunity to escape. Whether this is true or false, you can ask Mr. Ma. Of course, you can also ask Zhang Li, this kid. They are all eyewitnesses."

Yang Haoran's words were still a mix of truth and falsehood, and Zhang Li and Ma Yuanjin only knew about the situation before they left, but not about what happened after they left.

Yang Haoran spoke so confidently just to emphasize one point, which was that everything he said was true. As for whether these people would go to verify his words with Ma Yuanjin and the others, he didn't care, because even if they couldn't confirm that his words were true, they couldn't prove that they were false either.

Moreover, according to his estimate, these avengers would not bother to verify this matter, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter, because he wasn't afraid of these people. He only said so much to give them a way out.

As for whether they would take this opportunity or not, that was unknown. If they took the initiative to step down, that would be fine. If they insisted on staying on the stage and eating, he could only use his feet to kick them off.
