Realm of the Night God

The woman's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about whether Yang Haoran's words were true or false, so she didn't respond.

Yang Haoran didn't care and continued speaking after a brief pause.

"I'm not as strong as Divine Envoy Xu and Zhang Changchun's father and son, so we were quickly defeated and couldn't find a chance to escape. At that time, I didn't know what Divine Envoy Xu was thinking, but I was desperate and thought I was going to die. Just then, that powerful person appeared."

Seeing that no one wanted to interrupt him, Yang Haoran continued to speak seriously.

"At first, I didn't think much of that powerful person, thinking he wasn't a match for Zhang Changchun's father and son, because Zhang Changchun's father was extremely powerful, almost like a Ghost King. Such a ghost isn't something anyone can handle, and that powerful person's power was limited at the time. It was a suicidal move to confront Zhang Changchun's father and son head-on, but the result was beyond my expectations. That powerful person had been hiding his strength, and when he unleashed it all, he turned the tables and not only saved me and Divine Envoy Xu but also defeated Zhang Changchun's father and son, scattering their souls."

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something and continued.

"By the way, because the battle was so intense, we had a chase from one place to another. If you search the surrounding mountains, you'll definitely find the area where we had our second big battle, proving that what I said is true."

Yang Haoran glanced at the avengers in the room, who were all looking at him with different expressions. Some seemed to believe him, some were considering whether his words were true or false, and others didn't believe him at all.

Yang Haoran saw this scene unfold before his eyes, but his expression didn't change, and he didn't show any extreme emotions, remaining very calm.

Having said all he needed to say, Yang Haoran didn't speak again and looked at the others, waiting for their response.

"I suppose you're Lecheng Yin Division's Yang Divine Envoy."

The woman who had lost her husband spoke up.

"My name is Yang Haoran, Wood Easier Yang, Haoran of the upright Haoran, sister can call me Haoran or Little Yang. I don't dare to be called a divine envoy."

Yang Haoran smiled humbly and responded warmly to the woman.

Xu Meijing, who was standing aside, had been amused by Yang Haoran's story, but she didn't dare to show her emotions due to the occasion. However, when she heard Yang Haoran's response to the woman, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her sudden laughter broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone's gaze shifted from Yang Haoran to her.

Xu Meijing knew she had made a mistake, but her reaction was quick enough. She didn't try to hide her smile, thinking that would be like trying to cover her ears while stealing a bell. Instead, she quickly turned her smile into a cold one and directed her gaze at Yang Haoran.

"Heh heh, Yang Divine Envoy is indeed very humble."

Although her words were directed at Yang Haoran, Yang Haoran knew why Xu Meijing was doing this, and he wouldn't expose her. He just smiled at her, and everything was left unspoken.

The others in the room didn't quite understand what these two Underworld Envoys were doing, but they just glanced at Xu Meijing and then shifted their gaze back to Yang Haoran or the woman who had spoken up.

They reacted this way because they didn't care about Xu Meijing's sudden outburst, and they didn't bother to ask why she was doing this.

"Yang Divine Envoy, may I ask you a question?"

The woman looked at Yang Haoran again and asked.

"Sister is too polite, go ahead and ask."

Yang Haoran smiled and responded, his face full of kindness.

"Have you ever been widowed?"

Yang Haoran's smile on his face froze for a moment, and he couldn't believe that the woman would suddenly ask him such a question.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yang Haoran regained his composure and his smile returned.

"Sister, you're joking, I don't even have a boyfriend, let alone a husband."

Yang Haoran's tone was calm and natural, without a hint of embarrassment.

However, the woman's eyebrows furrowed, clearly not expecting Yang Haoran to respond in such a way.

"You may not have a husband, and you may not have been widowed, but I have, and my husband was killed by the Zhang family. You said that Zhang Changchun and his son's souls have dispersed, fine, I believe you, but can this vendetta be resolved just because their souls have dispersed?"

Although Yang Haoran had guaranteed to the people present that Zhang Changchun and his son's souls had dispersed, the woman's anger did not dissipate.

"I can understand your emotions, sister, because I'm involved in this matter. If I'm not lucky, my fate might be similar to your husband's. However, don't harm innocent family members. The Zhang family is now left with only some women, children, and the elderly, and most of them are just kids. Can you bear to harm these children? I'd also like to ask you a question, sister, do you have children?"

Yang Haoran's words, especially the last question, stunned the woman, and after a moment, she furrowed her eyebrows, her face solemn, as if thinking deeply.

After a few breaths, the woman looked towards the direction of the Zhang family, gazing at the surviving children, some of whom were clinging to their mothers' legs, some grabbing their mothers' clothes, and others hiding in their mothers' arms due to fear. Although they expressed their emotions differently, they all had one thing in common - their faces were filled with fear and anxiety.

They were still young, some still in diapers, but they seemed to have realized that disaster was looming, and they were on the brink of death, which made them terrified and uneasy, with some even crying.

The woman looked at the children for a few seconds, and a string in her heart was touched. She didn't speak, nor did she look at Yang Haoran again, but instead, she immediately tore open the space rift and left, as if she would change her mind if she stayed any longer.

The woman's actions left many people present in stunned silence, as she was the most ferocious avenger, but now she was the first to leave.

Without the woman's lead, the others looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Yang Haoran also didn't speak, but instead, smiled and looked at the others, waiting for their decision.

Xu Meijing stood beside Yang Haoran, also silent, as she would reluctantly help the Zhang family due to Yang Haoran. Now that Yang Haoran had taken charge of the matter, she wouldn't intervene, believing that Yang Haoran could handle it.

"I don't have the habit of killing women and children, the vendetta against the Zhang family ends here. Anyway, Zhang Changchun and his son's souls have dispersed, and those related to the matter have been killed by us. I've avenged my good friend. This is all because of your own doing, Zhang family. If you want to find trouble with me in the future, I'll be happy to oblige, but don't blame me for being ruthless then, no one can save you."

An old man spoke in a low voice, addressing the Zhang family, but at the end, he glanced at Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

Yang Haoran smiled and nodded at him, not caring about the old man's gaze, as in his eyes, the old man was no different from an ant. He smiled and nodded out of courtesy.

The old man didn't speak, and like the woman earlier, tore open the space rift and left.

Within a short time, two people had left, and the others didn't dare to say much. Some left harsh words for the Zhang family, while others didn't even leave a word, and departed one by one.

After all the avengers had left, Yang Haoran finally looked at Zhang Li.

"I want to talk to you."
