Chapter 802: All Plants and Trees Become Soldiers
The current formation flag guarding the Ghost Cave was a gift from Xu Meijing to Yang Haoran, so it held deep significance for Yang Haoran.
Deciding to replace this formation flag wasn't because Yang Haoran disliked it, but because the current Ghost Cave needed a more powerful formation flag to protect it, which would better safeguard the cave and its secrets. This had nothing to do with liking or disliking the flag; it was simply because the flag was no longer suitable for protecting the Ghost Cave.
Not only did the formation flag guarding the Ghost Cave need to be replaced, but if possible, Yang Haoran was also prepared to replace the Mountain and Water Formation at home.
To avoid burdening Tang Shi, Yang Haoran didn't ask Tang Shi to find a new formation flag for his home. He would figure out a way to protect his home's Great Array himself, and besides, the current Mountain and Water Formation was still usable, so he wasn't in a hurry. Tang Shi just needed to handle the issues at the Ghost Cave.
As for whether Tang Shi could find a suitable Great Array, Yang Haoran wasn't too worried. With Tang Shi's abilities, he believed that as long as he spent some time, he would be able to find a Great Array suitable for the Ghost Cave's current needs.
After leaving the Ghost Cave, the first thing Yang Haoran planned to do was to find Bai Xue and get a detailed understanding of the situation, then make targeted countermeasures. He couldn't wait for others to find him and then think of a solution; that would definitely not work.
As for where to find Bai Xue, it wasn't a difficult task for him. Even if Bai Xue was on a mission, as long as she wasn't in a few special areas, he could still find her, because she wore the Death God pendant he had given her.
This Death God pendant had been enhanced by his Yin spirit power, so as long as he was willing, he could sense its specific location, including the pendants he had given to others.
Of course, there was a precondition: the pendant hadn't been stored in an independent space. If it had, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Through his sensing, he confirmed Bai Xue's location and tore through space, descending upon the Spirit Police headquarters.
He had come here because he had sensed Bai Xue's presence at the Lecheng Spirit Police headquarters.
The current Spirit Police headquarters was also shrouded in a restriction barrier, and with the world in chaos, the Spirit Police were an important force in maintaining order for the Administrative Bureau. If anything went wrong here or if they were attacked, it would deal a fatal blow to the Administrative Bureau, so the protection here had been strengthened compared to peaceful times.
The Spirit Police headquarters' Great Array seemed ordinary to Yang Haoran now, but if he opened his heaven soul and mobilized all his power, he should be able to forcefully descend upon the Spirit Police headquarters' courtyard.
However, he didn't do so, because he didn't need to. After all, he was here to find Bai Xue and get a situation report, not to fight or show off.
Moreover, the Lecheng Spirit Police were still their cooperative partners, and their relationship had always been good. Out of courtesy, he couldn't directly descend upon the Spirit Police headquarters' courtyard; that was the least he could do to show respect.
He didn't intentionally hide his aura, so his appearance immediately caught the attention of the Spirit Police. He had just walked out of the space rift when several figures rushed out of the barrier, blocking his path.
The few people were initially cautious, but when they saw it was Yang Haoran, their caution dissipated, and they even broke into smiles.
They were Spirit Police, not Yang Haoran's Night Watch, but they all knew Yang Haoran.
Not only Yang Haoran, but all the major figures in the Lecheng non-ordinary person circle knew each other, and it was necessary for their work to progress smoothly.
"Ah, it's Yang Divine Envoy. You scared me. I thought we were under attack."
"Hehe, what wind blew Yang Divine Envoy here?"
The Spirit Police who had arrived earlier were all greeting Yang Haoran, but they were not his subordinates. Moreover, Yang Haoran had always given them a feeling of being very kind and easy to get along with, so when facing Yang Haoran, they were less restrained and more natural and enthusiastic.
"Heh heh, it's been a long time since I came to chat with Captain Luo. Today, I just happened to have some free time, so I came to take a look."
Yang Haoran smiled in response, without any airs, and his attitude towards the few people was very casual. Although he didn't know the Spirit Police in front of him, he didn't treat them differently because of that.
"Do you want to find Captain Luo?"
The smiles on the faces of the few people disappeared, and their expressions became unnatural.
"What's wrong?"
The change in the faces of the few people was so obvious that Yang Haoran couldn't help but notice. He didn't know what had happened, so he asked.
"Captain Luo was severely injured during this mission and is still undergoing treatment. We don't know if he can make it," one of the Spirit Police said, his face filled with worry. The other few people didn't speak, but their faces also showed concern. When Yang Haoran heard this, the smile on his face slightly faded.
Captain Luo had always been lenient with Bai Xue, and before the New Genesis World became chaotic, he was even more so. After the New Genesis World became chaotic, he was even more lenient. Except for encountering very difficult problems, he usually wouldn't let Bai Xue go on missions.
This time, Bai Xue had gone on a mission and had taken a long time, which meant that the mission the Spirit Police were executing was extremely dangerous. Otherwise, Captain Luo wouldn't have let Bai Xue go, and it wouldn't have taken so long.
Just before he arrived, he had sensed Bai Xue at the Spirit Police headquarters, and at that time, he had already made a guess that Bai Xue's mission should have been completed, or she wouldn't have appeared at the Spirit Police headquarters.
He had analyzed it correctly, but Captain Luo's severe injury was something Bai Xue hadn't mentioned in the Sound Transmission Talisman, so he hadn't thought of it. After all, it wasn't realistic to guess whether Captain Luo would get injured every time he went on a mission.
"Can you take me to see him?"
Yang Haoran asked, his main purpose for coming being to find Bai Xue, and saying he wanted to see Captain Luo was just an excuse.
However, now that he had heard about Captain Luo's severe injury, he really wanted to go see him, and it wasn't just an excuse. After all, he had gotten along well with Captain Luo since they started cooperating. This content was first released on MV_LEMPYR.
The few Spirit Police looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then the one who had spoken earlier said to Yang Haoran, "Yang Divine Envoy has always had a good relationship with our Captain Luo. If you want to go see him, that's perfectly fine. However, our management is very strict right now, and our permissions are limited. I need to report this to Deputy Captain Zhou first."
Yang Haoran didn't feel dissatisfied with the other party's words and didn't think they were doing anything wrong. After all, in a chaotic world, anything could happen, and who could guarantee that the person visiting had pure intentions?
If the other party had ulterior motives, and the Spirit Police directly let them in, it would definitely bring unpredictable losses to the Spirit Police. Before letting them in, at least there was the Great Array to guard against external enemies. Once they were let in, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
"I, of course, understand your approach. If I were in your shoes, I would do the same. In a chaotic world like this, being cautious can only be beneficial, not harmful."
The few people were worried that Yang Haoran would be dissatisfied with their approach, but when they heard his words, they felt relieved and also increased their goodwill towards Yang Haoran.
The Spirit Police who had spoken earlier immediately used their special communication device to notify Deputy Captain Zhou.
At that time, Deputy Captain Zhou was in the medical room of the Spirit Police headquarters, where a special restriction barrier had been set up to provide an absolutely quiet treatment environment, isolating all external interference, including power fluctuations.
Therefore, Yang Haoran's arrival was not sensed by Deputy Captain Zhou, who was focused on Captain Luo's treatment. Captain Luo was being rescued in the emergency room.
Apart from Deputy Captain Zhou, Bai Xue was also on the scene, her gaze also fixed on Captain Luo, who was being rescued.
When the communication device rang, and they learned that Yang Haoran had arrived, the faces of Deputy Captain Zhou and Bai Xue both changed.
Deputy Captain Zhou looked puzzled, while Bai Xue's face showed surprise.
