Realm of the Night God

The Administration Director's words made Deputy Captain Zhou's already unpleasant face turn even uglier.

"So what?"

Although he had already guessed the outcome in his heart, he still asked this question out loud because he wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct.

"So, I have no choice but to sacrifice Bai Xue, sacrifice someone who is not one of our Administrative Bureau people. Since the demon hunters are looking for demons, not targeting us in Lecheng, I'll tell them what I know and cooperate with them. As long as they achieve their goal, they'll naturally leave, and we in Lecheng can restore peace, even if it's just for a brief moment."

The Administration Director's words sparked anger in Deputy Captain Zhou's heart. After all, Bai Xue had saved his life multiple times, and he had never forgotten this favor, nor dared to forget it. Hearing the Administration Director's words, how could he not be furious?

"You can completely conceal Bai Xue's existence, why do you have to use her as a scapegoat!"

The anger in his heart made Deputy Captain Zhou's tone of speech turn furious, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

"Conceal? Ha ha, you're really naive. We have a powerful serpent demon in our Spirit Police, and this is no secret in Lecheng. Even if I don't say it, they can easily find out by asking around. Do you think this can be concealed?"

Deputy Captain Zhou was speechless, indeed, as the Administration Director said, Bai Xue's existence was impossible to conceal. The two demon hunters who came this time only needed to ask around slightly to find out about Bai Xue's existence and other information.

Deputy Captain Zhou's body trembled slightly, not because he was afraid, but because his inner anger had reached a certain level and couldn't be vented, causing his body to tremble slightly.

"I've always respected you, and over the years, I've been willing to risk my life for you, but I never thought you'd be this kind of person. You've let me down, and I'm furious!"

Deputy Captain Zhou spoke in a low voice, and from his tone and bodily reactions, it was clear that he was on the verge of exploding.

The Administration Director saw Deputy Captain Zhou's reaction and heard his angry words, and he lightly shook his head and sighed again.

"I can understand your emotions, but you may not understand mine. Using one person's life to exchange for a brief moment of peace in Lecheng, even if I had to choose again, my decision wouldn't change. It's not just Bai Xue; if it were you, Captain Luo, or even me, I would still make this choice, because I have no other choice."

The Administration Director looked at Deputy Captain Zhou, paused slightly, and continued to speak.

"You're not me, you haven't experienced leading the entire Lecheng to survive in the cracks. If you were me, you might understand my feelings and actions now."

Deputy Captain Zhou wanted to refute, but before he could say anything, the Administration Director directly cut him off with a wave of his hand.

"I know what you want to say, and I understand your purpose in coming to see me today, but I can't retract my order, nor dare I retract it. If you really want to help Bai Xue, think of a way to secretly contact Yang Haoran, inform him of the situation with these two demon hunters, and let him prepare in advance. Also, explain our situation to him, that it's not that our Administrative Bureau wants to harm Bai Xue, but that we're forced to make this decision due to threats."

Deputy Captain Zhou, who was still in a state of anger, was taken aback by the Administration Director's words. He really hadn't expected the Administration Director to actively let him warn Yang Haoran.

Before he could react from his shock, the Administration Director spoke again.

"When I faced those two demon hunters, I revealed some information about Bai Xue, but I didn't expose the relationship between Bai Xue and Yang Haoran, so they might not know about it yet. However, the close relationship between Bai Xue and Yang Haoran is not a secret, and anyone can find out with a little digging. So, it's only a matter of time before those two demon hunters find Yang Haoran. You should warn him as soon as possible, so he has some time to prepare. This is my way of making amends."

As he said this, the Administration Director's tone became extremely serious.

"However, I must remind you again that this matter must be kept confidential, and we can't let anyone else know. If it leaks to those two demon hunters, our Lecheng will be completely finished!"

Deputy Captain Zhou's anger subsided a bit after hearing the Administration Director's words, although it didn't completely dissipate. He didn't say a word, only nodded reluctantly at the Administration Director, then turned to leave.

"Wait."

Just as Deputy Captain Zhou turned to leave, the Administration Director suddenly called out to him, his tone filled with doubt. Deputy Captain Zhou stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the Administration Director.

"Do you know how old I am? Ha ha, I'm not afraid to tell you - I just turned 50 this year."

After the Administration Director finished speaking, Deputy Captain Zhou looked at him for a few seconds, then turned and left without saying a word.

The Administration Director watched Deputy Captain Zhou leave until he disappeared from view, then withdrew his gaze. First seen on MV4LEMP|YR.

"Let the Demon Hunter Association and the Yin Division fight it out. We don't want to get involved, and we don't dare to get involved. If Yang Haoran really dies at the hands of those two, the Yin Division will definitely not let it go, and those two will be in trouble. We don't have the energy to worry about our own Administrative Bureau."

After leaving the Administrative Bureau, Deputy Captain Zhou immediately used the Sealing Technique to suppress his power fluctuations, then found a private car and drove towards Yang Haoran's villa.

He used the Sealing Technique to avoid drawing attention, especially from those two demon hunters, who were extremely powerful and had keen senses. After using the Sealing Technique, he looked no different from an ordinary person, which made him feel much safer.

Although he wasn't sure if Yang Haoran was currently at the villa, Bai Xue might be there, and even if Bai Xue wasn't, there should be others at the villa who knew Yang Haoran's whereabouts or could contact him.

If he still had the Sound Transmission Talisman that corresponded to Bai Xue, he could have used it to notify Bai Xue directly, then arranged a secret meeting spot to pass on the information he had just obtained from the Administration Director.

However, he no longer had the Sound Transmission Talisman, so he couldn't contact Bai Xue through it.

He had considered passing the information to Master Wu, who could then relay it to Yang Haoran, but he abandoned the idea after some thought.

Previously, he had chosen to contact Master Wu secretly because he was worried about being discovered by the Administration Director, who had many eyes and ears in Lecheng, some of which even he didn't know about. So, he had to be extremely cautious.

But things were different now. He was going to find Yang Haoran with the Administration Director's permission, so he only needed to beware of being discovered by those two demon hunters.

Although those two demon hunters were powerful, they were not familiar with Lecheng, and he didn't know them, nor did they know him. As long as he was careful, the chances of being discovered were low, so he didn't go to the Death God Temple to find Master Wu and instead headed towards Yang Haoran's villa.

Moreover, even if he went to the Death God Temple, Master Wu might not be there at the time.

Besides this reason, there was another important reason - this matter was too important, and it involved many things. He had to explain it clearly to Yang Haoran and Bai Xue in person to avoid any misunderstandings.

Although he didn't agree with the Administration Director's treatment of Bai Xue, he also didn't want the Administrative Bureau to have a falling out with Yang Haoran and Bai Xue. So, he had to deliver some necessary words to the two of them in person.
