Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran couldn't be 100% sure that all his analyses were correct, but he believed that the facts should be in line with his analyses and not deviate too far.

In his view, the other party's purpose was very clear - to lure him into a trap. Otherwise, he couldn't explain the other party's behavior.

After listening to Yang Haoran's analysis, Bai Xue wanted to remind him not to fall into the other party's trap, as they had already dug a pit and were waiting for him to jump in. If he really did jump in, that would be too foolish.

However, just as she was about to say this, she suddenly realized a very important question - the other party had hostages, and these two hostages were Master Wu's son.

Although she didn't want Yang Haoran to foolishly fall into the trap, she couldn't say this in front of Master Wu. If she did, Master Wu would think differently, and Wu Xiaoxiao's thoughts would also be affected.

As for the other members of the Wu Family, she didn't care about them, as she didn't have much interaction with them, so there was no deep emotional connection.

However, Master Wu was different. She had known him for several years, and Master Wu had always given her a good impression, so she had to consider Master Wu's feelings.

She didn't speak up, but instead looked at Yang Haoran.

Of course, she didn't give Yang Haoran any hints either.

"Boss, your analysis makes sense, but there's one point I don't agree with."

Master Wu's voice was no longer trembling like before, but it was very low and solemn, as if he was suppressing something.

"Oh? Old Wu, go on."

Yang Haoran's expression didn't change, and he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, asking Master Wu to continue.

"I think the other party might not be targeting you, but me, because I've also been involved with the spirit master's fresh blood and destroyed several Spirit God Temples. It's not surprising if they want to take revenge on me."

Master Wu's words were unbelievable, not just to Yang Haoran, but also to Bai Xue.

Although Master Wu was the second-in-command of the LechengYin Division, it was clear that Yang Haoran, the Burial Master, posed the greatest threat to the Lecheng spirit master. If the other party wanted to take action against the LechengYin Division, they would definitely want to eliminate Yang Haoran first.

As long as Yang Haoran was alive, the LechengYin Division wouldn't collapse, and the Lecheng spirit master wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation. If Master Wu was killed, it wouldn't have the same effect, and the other party wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.

Yang Haoran understood this logic, but he didn't immediately point it out to Master Wu. Instead, he asked Master Wu in a gentle tone.

"What does it mean that they sent Xiao Xiao here, then?"

Master Wu hesitated for a moment before responding.

"They should know that I'm not at the Death God Temple, but here, so they sent Xiao Xiao here."

Yang Haoran roughly guessed what Master Wu was thinking, but he still asked calmly.

"And then?"

Master Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he responded in a low voice.

"Since they're targeting me, I'll handle this matter. Boss, you don't need to worry about it."

Yang Haoran understood that Master Wu was trying to protect him by saying this, as he didn't want him to get involved and risk his life.

"Old Wu, you've been with me for several years now. I may not be a good person, but have I ever wronged you in these few years?"

Yang Haoran suddenly asked himself this question, catching Master Wu off guard. However, Master Wu quickly reacted and responded.

"Boss, you've always treated me well over the years, and you've never done anything to wrong me. I'm very clear about this and will always remember it in my heart. However, this time is different, so I..."

Master Wu's words were interrupted by Yang Haoran, who waved his hand.

"Old Wu, I understand what you mean, but do you still remember the promise I made to you back then? As long as you don't betray me, Yang Haoran, I will never betray you. I wasn't joking when I said that; it was a heartfelt promise."

Master Wu heard this and didn't say a word, only nodding lightly. He had a deep impression of this matter and couldn't possibly forget.

"So, today's matter, I can't not take care of it. If I don't take care of it, I'll be going back on my own promise. Even if I didn't make a promise to you back then, I still couldn't not take care of your matter. You don't need to forcefully argue that the other party is targeting you; whether they are or not, you know it in your heart, and I'm very clear about it too."

Yang Haoran said this with great certainty, leaving no room for doubt, directly expressing his attitude. Bai Xue felt that Yang Haoran's approach was a bit impulsive, but she didn't say anything.

Master Wu was still deeply moved by Yang Haoran's decision, but he shook his head.

"Boss, when doing big things, you need to know how to prioritize. What should be done, what shouldn't be done, you need to have a clear sense of proportion in your heart. Some things, some people, no matter how reluctant you are, you need to make a clean break for the greater good. This is the only way to achieve something. I know you're an ambitious person, so I don't want to see you ending your journey in this small town of Lecheng before you've even started."

Yang Haoran didn't interrupt Master Wu this time. Master Wu lit another cigarette while speaking, and Yang Haoran only responded after Master Wu finished. SourceddirectlyfromMV6LEMP6YR.

"You're right, I do have ambitions, but sometimes I also have my own principles. Even if, as you said, I haven't left this small town of Lecheng yet, at least I've never owed you anything from start to finish."

Seeing Master Wu's expression, as if he still wanted to persuade him, Yang Haoran directly cut him off.

"If one day you become my boss, I'll listen to you. But for now, you need to listen to me."

Yang Haoran had already said this much, and Master Wu sighed, not saying anything more. However, his gaze revealed a worried expression, not just because of his two sons, but also because of Yang Haoran, this boss.

"Xiao Xiao, how did the opponent handle the souls of the dead after killing them in the Wu Family?"

Yang Haoran looked at Wu Xiaoxiao, asking this question. This point was very important to Yang Haoran. If the souls of the dead were taken away by the opponent, he would definitely need to think of a way to get them back. As long as the souls were still there, the outcome wasn't yet at its worst.

On the other hand, if the souls of the dead had been dispersed and destroyed, then those who died were beyond saving, and he wouldn't need to make any plans about it.

"The souls were all dispersed, and we saw it done right in front of us."

Wu Xiaoxiao responded tearfully, and she, who had already stopped crying, was again overcome with grief.

The "we" Wu Xiaoxiao mentioned naturally referred to her, as well as Eldest Son Wu and Second Son Wu.

Yang Haoran, who had still been holding onto a glimmer of hope, didn't say a word upon hearing this, but instead took a drag on his cigarette.

Master Wu also saw the souls of his family as a glimmer of hope. He didn't dare to ask Wu Xiaoxiao because he was afraid of the worst possible outcome.

Now that Yang Haoran had asked the question he didn't dare to ask, and Wu Xiaoxiao had responded, unfortunately, the result was indeed the worst possible outcome.

Although he didn't want to accept this result, the fact was that it was so, and he couldn't not accept it.

He didn't cry like Wu Xiaoxiao; he just closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and didn't say or do anything.
