Realm of the Night God

In response to Tang Shi's words, Yang Haoran simply smiled and nodded, while Tang Shi continued to speak.

"Because I wanted to strengthen the organization's power as much as possible in a short period of time, I targeted only malevolent spirit-level ghosts in our previous actions. Moreover, the more groups we target, the higher the risk of exposure. To reduce the risk and achieve our ideal gains, I only targeted malevolent spirits. That's why there are no ghosts below malevolent spirit level in the gains you see now, Master."

Yang Haoran nodded in understanding, still smiling.

"You've done a great job, I'm very satisfied. You can handle things, I trust you."

Yang Haoran smiled and handed Tang Shi ten soul pills from his independent space.

"There are ten soul pills here. You can allocate them as you see fit, I believe you know how to handle them rationally."

Tang Shi stood up and bowed to Yang Haoran, immediately making a promise.

"Don't worry, Master. I will allocate these soul pills rationally and won't disappoint you."

Yang Haoran wasn't worried that Tang Shi would embezzle the ten soul pills. He knew that these soul pills could release a certain amount of pure yin qi, which would bring a certain amount of enhancement to the ghosts under his command. Tang Shi might embezzle a small number of soul pills, but if he embezzled too many, it would eventually be discovered.

However, to be safe, Yang Haoran still wanted to use a small trick to make Tang Shi feel that he was being treated well.

After Tang Shi finished speaking, Yang Haoran took out two more soul pills from his independent space.

"This time, your gains have pleased me, so I'll give you these two soul pills as an extra reward, outside of the ten soul pills. Your strength can't be weaker than the other ghosts, or there will be many troubles. I think you understand what I mean."

Tang Shi didn't expect Yang Haoran to give him two more soul pills, which made him feel excited.

"Thank you, Master, for your reward!"

Tang Shi didn't hastily take the soul pills. Instead, he bowed to Yang Haoran again to express his gratitude.

"Hehe, you haven't disappointed me. How could I possibly disappoint you? This is what you deserve, you should be proud. Hurry up and put these soul pills away."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, and Tang Shi respectfully nodded before putting all twelve soul pills into his independent space.

Yang Haoran then waved his hand, and the six soul-locking bottles on the table disappeared.

The ghosts under his command consumed a large amount of soul pills, but Yang Haoran didn't mind because the benefits they brought far exceeded the costs.

If he didn't have the soul-refining cauldron, he wouldn't be able to cultivate so many ghosts. It would be impossible to cultivate them in a short period of time.

Up until now, there were no evil spirits in the batch of ghosts managed by Tang Shi. The former evil spirits had all been promoted to malevolent spirits with the help of a large number of soul pills.

Now, all the new ghosts subdued by Tang Shi were malevolent spirit-level ghosts. Ghosts below malevolent spirit level were not even considered by Tang Shi, which meant they didn't qualify to join their organization. This resulted in all the ghosts in their organization being malevolent spirit-level existences.

Although their strengths varied, they were all malevolent spirits. Such an organization composed of a large number of malevolent spirits, and having undergone special training, had unimaginable combat power. It was precisely because of their strong combat power that they could bring Yang Haoran unexpected huge gains.

If he were to compare his ghost organization with his Night Watch, the difference between the two would be like heaven and earth. If they were to engage in a battle, there would be no doubt that the Night Watch would be wiped out.

The reason he didn't use a large number of soul pills to cultivate the Night Watch was that he didn't dare to. If the Night Watch became too powerful, it would definitely attract attention, and he wouldn't be able to explain where the large number of soul pills came from.

Moreover, Lecheng's Night Watch, although they were his people, were also part of the Yin Division. Once they opened their heaven soul and obtained their own power seed, or were transferred to other cities to become Burial Masters, they would no longer be under his control. At that point, it would be a favor if they still called him "Boss" when they met.

Let's not talk about others, just this one point - his Night Watch is fundamentally different from the ghosts he has cultivated.

He understands this principle in his heart, yet he still spends a lot of resources to cultivate them, and he also takes a huge risk. What's the point of that?

It's precisely because of these two reasons that he would rather spend a lot of soul pills to cultivate ghosts than waste too many soul pills on Night Watch.

"This time I came to find you, there's another thing I need you to do."

Yang Haoran put away the soul-locking bottle containing the malevolent spirit and smiled as he spoke to Tang Shi.

Tang Shi, at this time, carefully put away all the soul pills in his independent space.

"Please give me your orders, master!"

Tang Shi hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Yang Haoran didn't waste any words, directly taking out a soul gathering bead from his independent space.

The soul gathering bead floated in mid-air above the stone table, with a soul thread inside. This soul thread was thicker than the soul thread of an ordinary person after death, but compared to the soul thread of an evil spirit, it was still much weaker. The soul thread was motionless, static inside the soul gathering bead.

The reason this soul thread was static inside the soul gathering bead was that it hadn't awakened yet, because this soul thread was the soul of the Old Woman from Fu Sect.

After Yang Haoran killed the Old Woman, he extracted her soul, but he didn't force her soul to awaken. As for why he did this, there were naturally his own considerations.

Tang Shi looked at the soul thread inside the soul gathering bead and couldn't help but feel some doubt. This person's entire soul gathering bead only had this one soul thread. What kind of background did this person have that required special care from his master, and a separate room?

Although he had some doubts, Tang Shi didn't say anything and waited quietly for Yang Haoran's next arrangement. This is a s-a&m+p^l.e f$r%o&m+ My Vir%t^ual* L#i^bra+ry E$m@pi^r&e&. Read$ the res*t& on M-@VLEMP+Y%R.^

Yang Haoran pointed at the soul gathering bead with his finger, and the soul thread inside was extracted. After leaving the soul gathering bead, the soul thread transformed into the Old Woman's soul, except that it didn't have a physical body and looked very illusory, but its other characteristics were not much different from when the Old Woman was alive.

Yang Haoran looked at the Old Woman's soul, then turned his gaze to Tang Shi, smiling as he asked.

"Heh heh, you can achieve shocking results in such a short time. I'm sure that under your leadership, their ability to gather information will exceed what I managed back then. How much do you know about this person?"

Tang Shi looked at the Old Woman, thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know her, and currently, our targets are all outside Lecheng City. Because Lecheng is our master's territory, if we appear in Lecheng, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble for our master. However, if our master needs this, please give me a few days, and I'll make the entire Lecheng City present itself to our master without any cover."

If it weren't for Tang Shi's shocking achievements today, Yang Haoran would still have some doubts about his words. But now, he didn't think Tang Shi was bragging.

"No need to go to such trouble. After all, Lecheng is just a small place, and there are only a few small fish and shrimp. Occasionally, a strong person appears, but that's not Lecheng's local specialty. This is my starting point, but it's definitely not my endpoint. I will leave eventually, and there's no need to waste time here."

Yang Haoran rejected Tang Shi's idea. He wasn't looking down on Lecheng; on the contrary, he had deep feelings for Lecheng. However, Lecheng was a small place with limited strong people, and it wasn't necessary to waste resources and time on this.

"Since you don't know who she is, I'll tell you. This person is a black talisman master from Lecheng's Fu Sect. I want to get some information from her, but I have urgent matters to attend to, so I want to hand this task over to you."
