Realm of the Night God

As soon as Wang Yiming and Jiang Die heard the old woman's words, their faces changed, and their gazes converged on Yang Haoran's body.

However, at this moment, neither Yang Haoran nor the old woman paid attention to them. Instead, they were like pawns being ruthlessly placed on the table.

After listening to the old woman's words, Yang Haoran's smile froze, and then he revealed a troubled expression, as if he was struggling with his thoughts.

The old woman saw this and knew that Yang Haoran had taken the bait. She was overjoyed in her heart, knowing that one must strike while the iron is hot. So, she quickly spoke again.

"Achieving great things doesn't require petty morals. In one's lifetime, there are countless friends to be made. As an Underworld Envoy like you, Yang Divine Envoy, who can live forever, you can make countless friends. Why let one friend become your stumbling block? Sacrificing one friend can bring you tremendous benefits, even influencing your future career. Can't you, Yang Divine Envoy, calculate this clearly?"

The old woman's words seemed to be the final straw that broke the camel's back, piercing through Yang Haoran's psychological defenses.

Yang Haoran's troubled expression disappeared, replaced by a look of enlightenment.

"Old talisman master, you're indeed a seasoned veteran. Your words are like a sharp needle, piercing through the heart of the matter. We're not children anymore, and we can't do things according to childish rules."

Yang Haoran seemed to have come to a realization, and his face no longer showed any trouble. Instead, he smiled again.

Yang Haoran nodded in agreement, seemingly very pleased with the old woman's words.

"The old talisman master is right. Fighting and killing only harm the atmosphere, while a win-win situation is the king's way."

As he spoke, Yang Haoran looked towards Wang Yiming and Jiang Die's location, then smiled faintly and said.

"Since they're traitors of the Fu Sect, I naturally won't intervene. I, Yang Haoran, have always been a man of integrity, and I detest traitors the most. You can take them away, and how you handle them is the Fu Sect's business. It has nothing to do with me, and I won't ask or intervene."

Yang Haoran's words made the old woman laugh again, her wrinkled face filled with joy.

However, Wang Yiming and Jiang Die's reactions were in stark contrast to hers.

Wang Yiming's face turned pale, and he looked like he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had never thought that Yang Haoran would say such a thing. Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М-VLЕМРYR)

He had come to Yang Haoran in his time of crisis because he believed in him, believing that their friendship would surely help him overcome his current difficulties. But the result was completely different from what he had imagined.

He didn't shout or yell, but his heart was heavily struck by Yang Haoran's words, making it hard for him to even breathe.

Standing beside him, Jiang Die reacted differently.

She still had her usual demeanor, with her long hair covering half her face, revealing only the other half. But at this moment, the half of her face that was visible was filled with anger.

"Yang Haoran, you're such a scoundrel. I told you we couldn't trust you, but Yiming didn't listen and insisted on coming to you. If it weren't for..."

Jiang Die's cold, angry words were directed at Yang Haoran, but before she could finish, the old woman turned around and looked at the two of them, then waved her hand and released two talismans.

These two talismans, in Yang Haoran's eyes, were just average in speed, but to Wang Yiming and Jiang Die, they were like lightning-fast. The two of them didn't even have time to react before the talismans stuck to their bodies.

The moment the talismans stuck to their bodies, they released their power, immobilizing the two of them. Although their consciousness was unaffected, their physical bodies were frozen in place, unable to move even a little. They couldn't even open their mouths to speak.

Yang Haoran recognized these two talismans as Immobilization Talismans, used to immobilize physical bodies. Once stuck, the target's physical body would be unable to move unless they broke free using their own power or waited for the talisman's power to dissipate.

The higher the grade of the Immobilization Talisman, the longer it would immobilize the target, and the harder it would be to break free.At this moment, the old woman used the Immobilization Talisman, and both of them were high-grade black talismans. This level of Immobilization Talisman was unmatched in terms of duration and difficulty to break free, unlike the yellow talisman.

Given Wang Yiming and Jiang Die's current physical condition, it was impossible for them to break free from these two Immobilization Talismans. In other words, they could only be at the mercy of others, and even if they were stripped naked, they could only watch helplessly.

The old woman was so anxious to take action against the two because she was worried that their words would change Yang Haoran's decision. Therefore, she used the Immobilization Talisman to immobilize their bodies and seal their mouths, preventing them from speaking further, which would not affect Yang Haoran.

If possible, she would have killed them on the spot to avoid any future trouble, but she couldn't do so here. To achieve her goal, she had to bring them back to the Fu Sect.

Otherwise, she would not have used the two Immobilization Talismans just now, but other powerful talismans with strong killing power.

Anyway, Yang Haoran had promised not to intervene, and the old woman felt that she didn't need to rush, as it would only take a short while to tear through space and bring the two back to the Fu Sect.

"Yang Divine Envoy, I'll visit you personally after I've handled the matters at the Fu Sect. We can discuss how to help you eliminate Lecheng's spirit master then. For now, I must bring these two traitors back to the Fu Sect immediately and not waste any more time here."

The old woman was overjoyed, with a smile all over her face as she spoke to Yang Haoran. As soon as she finished speaking, she was eager to tear through space and leave with Wang Yiming and Jiang Die.

However, at this moment, Yang Haoran suddenly spoke up to stop her.

"Old Talisman Master, please wait a moment. There's no need to rush. I have another question to ask you."

The old woman was slightly puzzled, but more impatient. She still stopped in her tracks and asked Yang Haoran with a smile.

"Hehe, Yang Divine Envoy, what's your question? Please don't hesitate to ask. I'm all ears."

The old woman was very polite, treating Yang Haoran as if he were one of her own, although she was actually very impatient. She just wanted to bring Wang Yiming and Jiang Die back to the Fu Sect as soon as possible and not waste any more time on Yang Haoran.

"If we only clear out Lecheng's spirit master and destroy their hidden temple, I'm worried that this contribution might not be enough to achieve great merit."

Yang Haoran furrowed his brow, looking somewhat worried.

The old woman saw that Yang Haoran was only now reacting to this issue and couldn't help but look down on him for being simple-minded. It was precisely because she thought Yang Haoran was easy to deceive that she immediately responded without hesitation.

"If you think that's not enough, we can kill more people and collect more souls. After all, the Yin Division uses this as a standard to measure the performance of Underworld Envoys. If that's not enough, we can even take action against the nearby cities' Burial Masters. They must have the soul pills you need, and taking them will make it difficult for you not to increase your power. We can discuss the details later. For now, I'm in a hurry to get back to the Fu Sect."

The old woman finished speaking and was about to leave with Wang Yiming and Jiang Die, but Yang Haoran's worried expression disappeared after hearing her words, replaced by a smile.

"Old Talisman Master, do you know what kind of consequences it would bring if we, the Yin Division, were to encourage Underworld Envoys to take action against other Underworld Envoys?"
