Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran furrowed his brow because he sensed that the Yin Qi emitted by the ghosts in the Ghost Cave was more intense than he had imagined.

It had been a while since he last came to the Ghost Cave, and according to his estimate, the ghosts in the Ghost Cave should have been arranged by Tang Shi to carry out tasks.

However, he sensed that there were at least a dozen ghosts in the Ghost Cave, which made him wonder what Tang Shi was up to and why he hadn't sent them out to perform various tasks.

Tang Shi wanted to strengthen the ghosts' ideological education, which Yang Haoran could understand, and he also supported training them. But it didn't make sense to keep them in the Ghost Cave all the time. Soldiers who had never seen blood, no matter how loyal, strong, or skilled in killing, were ultimately just paper tigers.

Only by experiencing the baptism of fresh blood could they cultivate their killing intent and integrate what they had learned with combat, becoming true warriors who could take on a hundred enemies alone.

Regarding Tang Shi, Yang Haoran had always been very satisfied, but this time, he was filled with doubts.

It was just doubt, not disappointment, because based on his understanding of Tang Shi, Tang Shi shouldn't have overlooked this point. Since he had kept these ghosts in the Ghost Cave, there must be reasons he didn't know about, perhaps Tang Shi had encountered some difficulties, which led to this decision.

With doubts in his heart, Yang Haoran flashed into the depths of the Ghost Cave, heading towards the area where he sensed the ghosts.

He didn't conceal his power fluctuations, so his arrival was also sensed by the ghosts in the Ghost Cave.

"Assemble!!"

The voice echoed throughout the Ghost Cave. If it weren't for the Great Array that protected the Ghost Cave, preventing internal sounds from being heard outside, the voice would have resonated throughout the entire mountain.

At this moment, all the ghosts gathered in the training ground inside the Ghost Cave. When Yang Haoran appeared, they were already lined up, their expressions solemn, their eyes fixed straight ahead, like a troop receiving inspection.

"Welcome, Master!"

Tang Shi, at the front, knelt down on one knee, paying respects to Yang Haoran.

As Tang Shi's voice fell, the dozen ghosts behind him also knelt down on one knee, their movements neat and tidy, all paying respects to Yang Haoran.

"Welcome, Master!!"

The dozen ghosts shouted in unison, their voices louder and more energetic than Tang Shi's.

However, compared to Tang Shi's voice, theirs lacked a few degrees of murderous intent.

Looking at his ghosts, who were so energetic and spirited, Yang Haoran should have felt happy and relieved.

But at this moment, he looked at the ghosts kneeling before him, and his face didn't show a smile. Instead, he became even more doubtful, his eyebrows furrowing deeper. To rep%or&t^ errors, pleas&e vis$it the o^ri$gi$n!a-l p^o@st- on M&|+VL#E@M$P^Y@R.+

The reason was that, except for Tang Shi, all the other ghosts were in their soul bodies.

He had previously prepared flesh vessels for these ghosts, tailored to their original appearances, but now, their flesh vessels were nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that Tang Shi had a new training method that required these ghosts to remove their flesh vessels?

Although he was filled with doubts, he didn't let Tang Shi and the others continue to kneel. He wanted them to help him conquer the world, not to kneel before him all the time, enjoying a sense of superiority.

"You can get up now."

As Yang Haoran spoke, Tang Shi and the others finally stood up from the ground. None of them hung their heads like servants, but instead stood like warriors, their faces solemn, their eyes fixed straight ahead, just like when Yang Haoran first saw them.

Due to Yang Haoran's doubts, he directly fixed his gaze on Tang Shi, without stopping at the ghosts.

"What about their flesh vessels?"

Yang Haoran's heart was filled with doubts, but he still habitually smiled and asked Tang Shi.

He didn't directly question Tang Shi about why those ghosts hadn't been sent out to execute tasks, because he felt that there might be some unspoken difficulties, and directly questioning Tang Shi in front of his subordinates would not only lose Tang Shi's face but also affect his authority and possibly hurt Tang Shi's feelings.

If Tang Shi had really made a mistake, then it wouldn't be a big deal, and he could even scold him directly. But now, he hadn't even clarified the situation and was randomly blaming Tang Shi, which was his problem.

So, he planned to privately ask Tang Shi about it later, at least to clarify the situation first.

If Tang Shi had really encountered some insoluble difficulties, then as the master, he should step in to resolve the troubles.

Currently, he was asking Tang Shi about the flesh vessels of those ghosts, actually wanting to confirm his own suspicions, whether Tang Shi had found a new training method for those ghosts.

However, Tang Shi's response was beyond his expectations.

"They don't have flesh vessels, master."

Yang Haoran was taken aback. As the master, he should know whether those ghosts had flesh vessels or not, but Tang Shi told him that they didn't, which made him doubt.

Yang Haoran's expression revealed his doubts, and Tang Shi saw it. He understood why Yang Haoran was doubtful and quickly spoke up to avoid making Yang Haoran feel embarrassed.

"Master, take a closer look, and you'll understand."

Upon hearing Tang Shi's words, Yang Haoran turned his gaze to the ghosts behind Tang Shi. After taking a closer look, he finally discovered the problem.

The ghosts standing behind Tang Shi, like sharp swords, were all new faces, not a single familiar face among them.

He had cultivated those ghosts, although the contact time was short, but he had an impression of their appearances, so he could confirm that these ghosts were new faces.

There were over a dozen new faces in the Ghost Cave, which was beyond his expectations, making him feel both doubtful and shocked.

However, he didn't immediately question Tang Shi, but instead temporarily suppressed his doubts and shock. His doubtful expression disappeared, and he regained his smile.

"You've all worked hard in your training."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke to the ghosts, although he still didn't understand what was going on, but he felt it necessary to express his concern.

"Not hard at all!!"

The voices were still uniform and loud.

"Very good, keep up the good work. I hope you won't disappoint me. Of course, I, Yang Haoran, won't disappoint you either."

As usual, Yang Haoran first showed his attitude.

"Yes!!"

The ghosts' responses were crisp, energetic, and determined.

Yang Haoran nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Tang Shi.

"Arrange things first, and then come to see me."

"Yes!"

Tang Shi respectfully responded, and Yang Haoran, with his doubts and shock, went to the Ghost Cave's storage room, waiting for Tang Shi to come and explain.

However, after entering the storage room, Yang Haoran was again shocked by what he saw.

In his impression, the storage room in the Ghost Cave had only a few scattered items, but what he saw now was different. Although the items didn't fill the entire room, there were at least several times more than last time!

After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Haoran reacted, muttering to himself in shock.

"Has Tang Shi been robbing houses and kidnapping people recently?"

Yang Haoran looked at the numerous items in the storage room, thinking about the over a dozen new faces he had just seen, and he was really curious about what Tang Shi had been doing recently, with one surprising thing after another.

Although he was very curious, he was also a person who could keep his calm. He didn't get agitated due to his inner emotions, but instead waited for Tang Shi to come and see him, strolling around the storage room, occasionally picking up an item to examine, wondering whether it was trash or a treasure.
