Realm of the Night God

Deputy Captain Zhou's question was something that the Administration Director had already considered, and now he was worried about it, with this aspect being one of the reasons.

"Bai Xue initially joined the Spirit Police, and there must be a significant reason why she did so, which is because of Yang Haoran. When Captain Luo invited Bai Xue to join the Spirit Police, although Fu Sect was causing trouble for her at the time, Fu Sect was just making a fuss and didn't dare to really fight with Yin Division over this matter. Captain Luo himself must have been clear about this, and Yang Haoran would have understood it as well."

"So, Yang Haoran didn't need to insist on Bai Xue joining the Spirit Police. Moreover, according to the information I've collected, Bai Xue seemed unwilling to join the Spirit Police, but eventually became a member of the Spirit Police. I absolutely don't believe that Yang Haoran had no role in this."

The Administration Director didn't directly answer Deputy Captain Zhou's question, instead saying:

"Do you mean that Yang Haoran had Bai Xue join the Spirit Police for some other purpose?"

Deputy Captain Zhou thought for a moment before asking:

"If I'm not mistaken, Yang Haoran had Bai Xue join the Spirit Police not only to make our Administrative Bureau her protector but also for some other purpose. It's just that over the past few years, Bai Xue has been very obedient, and Yang Haoran hasn't made any suspicious moves, making it difficult for me to guess his true intentions."

The Administration Director furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and then stood up from his chair, walking a few steps with his hands behind his back before continuing.

"Sometimes I even suspect that I'm overthinking things, and Yang Haoran's purpose in having Bai Xue join the Spirit Police was simply to find her a protector, with no other intentions. But now that our protector has been broken, and we're struggling to protect ourselves, why does he still keep Bai Xue in our Spirit Police?"

"Maybe it's because Bai Xue herself doesn't want to leave the Spirit Police. I can see that she still has feelings for our Spirit Police. I've worked with her on many missions, and I won't be mistaken about this."

The Administration Director didn't respond, instead furrowing his brows in thought before sighing and saying:

"Ah, maybe. But Bai Xue is ultimately Yang Haoran's person, which is an undeniable fact. Yang Haoran had Bai Xue join the Spirit Police, perhaps to utilize us, but aren't we also utilizing him? We need his and Yin Division's power, especially in the current situation, where Yang Haoran is even more important to us."

The Administration Director's words made Deputy Captain Zhou feel doubtful. If they needed Yang Haoran's and Yin Division's power, why were they deciding to take action against Bai Xue now? This approach would surely provoke Yang Haoran, and the cooperation between Yin Division and their Spirit Police might also come to an end. The Administration Director's words and actions seemed contradictory.

"Administration Director, you yourself said that Yang Haoran is very important to us now. But if we take action against Bai Xue, not only will we lose an ally, but we'll also gain an enemy. This..."

Deputy Captain Zhou hadn't finished speaking when the Administration Director interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I know what you want to say. Before I answer you, I'll ask you three questions."

Deputy Captain Zhou didn't speak, only furrowing his brows and nodding slightly.

"If the two demon hunters who came this time suddenly attacked our Administrative Bureau, do you think Yang Haoran would help us?"

Deputy Captain Zhou thought for a moment before responding.

"As long as Bai Xue participates in the battle, given Yang Haoran's relationship with Bai Xue, he definitely won't ignore it. I think he should help."

The Administration Director smiled, but the emotion revealed in his smile was not joy, but bitterness.

"It's uncertain, and you yourself aren't daring to confirm that Yang Haoran will definitely help. Now, let's assume that Yang Haoran will definitely help. On this premise, I'll ask you my second question: even if Yang Haoran helps, do you think he can be a match for the two demon hunters?"

Deputy Captain Zhou didn't immediately answer the Administration Director's question, but instead countered with a question of his own.

"What's the strength of these two demon hunters?"

The reason for asking this was very simple: if you didn't even know the strength of the two demon hunters, how could you judge whether Yang Haoran was their match?

The Administration Director smiled bitterly and then held up three fingers to Deputy Captain Zhou.

"Three stars. When these two demon hunters threatened me, they revealed their star seals, and each of them had three star seals on their foreheads. Although I'm just an ordinary person with no powers, as the Administration Director of Lecheng, I at least have some knowledge. A demon hunter with three star seals on their forehead means something, and I know what it means, and I believe you do too."

As soon as Deputy Captain Zhou heard the Administration Director's words, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, just as the Administration Director had said. A demon hunter with three star seals on their forehead meant something he was very clear about.

With his current strength, he could handle ordinary two-star demon hunters, but if he encountered a powerful two-star demon hunter, he would be completely outmatched. If he encountered such an enemy, the only outcome would be death.

In the entire Spirit Police team, only Bai Xue had the ability to rival powerful two-star demon hunters, and even Captain Luo's strength was weaker than Bai Xue's current level.

However, if Bai Xue encountered a three-star demon hunter, she would definitely not be a match, and the possibility of her dying at their hands was extremely high, even if the opponent was a newly promoted three-star demon hunter.

"Yang Haoran has only been a Burial Master for a few years, although he became a Night Watch soon after opening his heaven soul and became the Burial Master of Lecheng Yin Division, which is indeed surprising. But after all, it's only been a short few years. Do you think he has the ability to rival two three-star demon hunters in such a short time?"

After the Administration Director's explanation and analysis, he asked Deputy Captain Zhou the previous question again. Lovethisstory?ShowyoursupportonM9VLEMPYR.

This time, Deputy Captain Zhou didn't say anything and didn't ask anything, but directly shook his head at the Administration Director.

Although he didn't speak, his shaking head had already explained everything - he didn't think Yang Haoran could rival two three-star demon hunters, because it was simply impossible in his opinion.

Not only did he think so, but the Administration Director also thought the same way.

After getting Deputy Captain Zhou's affirmative response, the Administration Director continued to speak.

"Now I'll ask you a third question, which is also the last one: if I don't agree to the demon hunters' demands, do you think they will kill me on the spot?"

The Administration Director's words made Deputy Captain Zhou stunned again.

If it were before the Highest Administrative Court was dissolved, these two demon hunters wouldn't dare to do so, because killing the Administration Director was a grave crime, and the Highest Administrative Court would definitely not let it go. At that time, not only would their lives be in danger, but their entire Demon Hunter Association would also be greatly affected, since the Highest Administrative Court had the power to dominate the entire New Genesis World.

However, things were different now. Although the Administration Director was still the highest local official, they no longer had the protection of the Highest Administrative Court. Their lives were only valued by the people around them, and if they died, it would be just that - no one would bother to avenge them.

It was precisely because of this that the other powers didn't take the local Administrative Bureau and the Administration Director seriously. As long as they had the strength, they could grab a few Administration Directors and kill them for fun.

So, regarding the Administration Director's question, Deputy Captain Zhou thought for a moment and then nodded.

Although he didn't say anything, his nod gave the Administration Director an affirmative answer, and the Administration Director knew what his nod meant.

Looking at Deputy Captain Zhou's nod, the Administration Director smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to speak.

"Now do you know why I made such a decision?"

Deputy Captain Zhou still didn't speak, but nodded again, although his face didn't look good.

"Alas, if those two demon hunters had known about Yang Haoran's close relationship with Bai Xue, they would have directly gone to find Yang Haoran and wouldn't have given me such a hard time. Unfortunately, they came to Lecheng and first found me, the Administration Director, and asked about demons with a threatening tone, so... alas!"
