Realm of the Night God

Master Wu's heart was in turmoil at this moment, although he tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn't do it.

This was a normal human reaction; unless someone had a heart of stone, it was impossible to remain calm after such an incident.

Thinking back to when Yang Haoran's parents were brutally killed by zombies, his emotional response was much stronger than Master Wu's at this moment. Compared to him, Master Wu was already doing well.

Master Wu's current emotional state was something Yang Haoran could understand, after all, he had also lost loved ones before.

However, understanding was one thing, but they still had to come up with a plan. The other party had only given them two hours, and according to Wu Xiaoxiao's description, plus the time Wu Xiaoxiao spent getting here, they had already wasted about half an hour. That meant they only had an hour and a half left.

The location the other party had chosen to meet was called Severed Head Mountain, which was located on the outskirts of Lecheng. The surrounding area was all mountains, with no signs of human life, but plenty of wild beasts.

The mountain got its name from a legend, which said that a long time ago, the mountain top was severed by a powerful force on a stormy night, causing the village below to be destroyed, and many villagers died under the rubble.

From then on, the mountain lost its top, looking like it had been beheaded, so the villagers renamed it Severed Head Mountain.

After the mountain was given its new name, the original name was no longer used, and the villagers all referred to it as Severed Head Mountain.

Although Severed Head Mountain was located on the outskirts of Lecheng, with Yang Haoran's current abilities, he only needed to tear open a space rift once to get there, which wouldn't take him much time. So, he still had time to discuss strategies.

Although the plan they came up with in a short time might not be perfect, it was still better than blindly rushing in.

"Old Wu, the dead are dead, what we need to do now is think of a way to rescue First Son and Second Son. We can't let them suffer the same fate as having their souls scattered."

Yang Haoran's words, although a bit harsh, were the only way to comfort Master Wu in this situation. They couldn't just stand there saying nothing, looking at each other, and letting time slip away in a sorrowful atmosphere.

Master Wu took a deep breath again and nodded at Yang Haoran.

"You're right, Boss. This isn't the time to be sad. First son and Second Son are still waiting for us to rescue them. I've already lost other loved ones, I can't lose them too."

Among the two sons, Master Wu valued Eldest Son Wu the most. He loved and respected this son deeply.

Second Son Wu, in his eyes, had always been a disappointment, never taking things seriously and causing him a lot of worry and disappointment. However, he also loved this son deeply, and in a way, his love for Second Son Wu even surpassed that for Eldest Son Wu.

It was just that Second Son Wu was too unreliable, causing him to be disappointed time and time again. If it weren't for his father's protection and Yang Haoran's help, it was unclear whether this unreliable son could have survived until now.

Now that both sons were in a precarious situation, he didn't have the heart to think about how Second Son Wu had disappointed him. He only had one thought, which was to rescue his two sons no matter what.

However, his heart was filled with grief, and he was worried about his sons' current situation, so his brain wasn't working as well as usual, and he couldn't think of a good strategy.

Yang Haoran had been in a similar situation before, so he knew it was hard to get a good suggestion from Master Wu at this time. Therefore, he didn't ask Master Wu if he had a good plan.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Bai Xue.

"Bai Xue, you and Xiao Xiao stay at home. This time, I'll go with Old Wu."

Bai Xue's face changed as soon as she heard this.

"No way, I'm not comfortable with just the two of you going. I can definitely help if I go with you."

Bai Xue refused decisively, without any hesitation, and even expressed her desire to go with them. Read ahead and get updates by visiting M^VLEMPYR.

"You're going with us, who's going to take care of the house? What if this is the other party's plan to lure us away, and we all leave, who will protect the little girl?"

Yang Haoran shook his head, referring to Feng Xiao as "the little girl".

His main purpose for saying this was to leave Bai Xue behind and not take her on this dangerous mission, as he didn't know how dangerous it would be.

Moreover, Feng Xiao really needed someone to protect her, and relying solely on Xiu Juan and Wu Xiaoxiao was fundamentally unable to achieve the goal of protecting Feng Xiao. If something unexpected were to happen, it was possible that the two of them might not be as capable as Feng Xiao, because Feng Xiao currently had a certain level of strength, and the medicines she had refined were also extraordinary, each with its own effects.

Yang Haoran thought that by saying this, he could dispel Bai Xue's idea of following him, but Bai Xue's subsequent question left Yang Haoran stunned.

"What if those two demon hunters can't get through and come back to cause trouble?"

Bai Xue's main purpose in saying this was to get Yang Haoran to take her along, and she didn't think that the two demon hunters would definitely come back to cause trouble. However, her words did give Yang Haoran a wake-up call.

"You're right, it's not entirely impossible," Yang Haoran said after thinking for a moment.

"I'll move you all to a safe location temporarily before I leave with Master Wu, just to be on the safe side."

Bai Xue saw that her goal had not been achieved and was about to say something else, but Yang Haoran cut her off.

"We don't have much time, so we can't waste too much time on this. If we have the chance next time, I'll definitely take you out for a stroll. This time, it's decided."

Although this was not the result Bai Xue wanted, Yang Haoran's words left no room for negotiation, and she didn't want to argue with him. In the end, she could only nod reluctantly.

Yang Haoran had no intention of bringing his Night Watch subordinates along, partly because their strength was limited, and they would only be cannon fodder if they went. Although he didn't dare to cultivate them like ghosts, he had still invested a certain amount of heart and resources in them.

Moreover, as a leader, he knew that bringing his subordinates along would be sending them to their deaths, and he couldn't bring himself to do that.

Another important point was that if the enemy's ambush was indeed very strong, they might use all their strength, and he didn't want too many people to know his full strength. It would be troublesome to deal with later.

So, he decided to only bring Master Wu along.

From a normal perspective, if the enemy didn't dare to come directly to their doorstep, it meant that their strength was not that great. If they really had the strength, they wouldn't need to resort to such cunning schemes and could just come to their residence directly.

However, to be on the safe side, Yang Haoran felt that he still couldn't be too careless and needed to prepare some other measures. If the enemy didn't come directly to find him, it might not be because they lacked the strength, but because of other reasons. If they were really pushed to the brink, and he didn't have other preparations, then they would lose another Burial Master in the Jingling Continent.

What measures would be most useful? Yang Haoran first thought of the various medicines refined by Feng Xiao. Medicines that could quickly heal injuries were definitely essential, and besides these, he would also prepare some other different medicines for emergencies.

With a plan in mind, Yang Haoran didn't waste any more time and immediately went to find Feng Xiao, while also asking Master Wu to see if there was anything else that needed to be prepared during this time.
