Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran only spent half an hour preparing, and half an hour later, he led everyone from the villa to leave.

This time, he didn't plan to bring Bai Xue and the others along, so he temporarily found a safe haven for Bai Xue, Feng Xiao, and Xiu Juan.

As for the safest haven, the Death God Temple would be a good choice, but he didn't choose it as a temporary haven because if the two demon hunters came back and couldn't find them at the villa, they might attack the Death God Temple, which would be troublesome.

Although this possibility was low, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire Yin Division if they attacked the Death God Temple. The two demon hunters shouldn't do such a thing if they had a sound mind, but Yang Haoran still felt it was better to be cautious and minimize the risk.

Moreover, if he went to the meeting and the spirit master took the opportunity to attack the Death God Temple, none of the Lecheng's Death God Temples would be safe.

Bai Xue didn't care, as her current strength was quite formidable, and no one could take her down without sufficient power. Yang Haoran was worried about Feng Xiao, who was too important to him, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes and had to ensure Feng Xiao's safety 100%.

The temporary haven he chose was a desolate, uninhabited place, and he even set up a restriction barrier to prevent others from discovering their presence.

Before leaving, Yang Haoran specifically instructed the three of them not to leave the barrier, lest they attract attention, especially Bai Xue, whom he emphasized should protect Feng Xiao and gave a Sound Transmission Talisman.

This Sound Transmission Talisman could contact someone, but Yang Haoran didn't specify who, only telling Bai Xue that if they encountered an unstoppable danger, they should activate the talisman to request power support and provide their location.

When Yang Haoran and Master Wu walked out of the space rift, they had already arrived above Severed Head Mountain.

Severed Head Mountain, although missing a peak, was still the tallest mountain in the surrounding area, and one could imagine how majestic it was when it was complete.

After manifesting, Yang Haoran didn't sense any power fluctuations, knowing that the other party had set up a restriction barrier.

He opened his ghost eye, and his eyes turned pitch black. When he used his ghost eye to look at Severed Head Mountain again, he saw that the entire mountain was shrouded in a black barrier, with no Yin Qi emanating from the surface, but the barrier's interior was filled with surging Yin Qi, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

The Severed Head Mountain they had just seen with their naked eyes was completely an illusion created by the barrier, not the mountain's current true state.

Yang Haoran hadn't spoken yet, but the black barrier cracked open under his gaze, and a voice came out.

"I thought Yang Divine Envoy would delay, but you've arrived ahead of time. It seems Master Wu holds a heavier weight in your heart than I imagined."

A sinister, eerie voice came from inside the barrier, entering Yang Haoran and Master Wu's ears.

Master Wu's face darkened, and his eyes burst with killing intent.

Yang Haoran, on the other hand, smiled faintly, his mouth curving up slightly, with a gentle smile on his face.

It's not hard to hear from the other person's words that they are indeed targeting Yang Haoran.

"Since you've come all the way here, why are you two still standing outside? Do you need me to come out and invite you in personally before you're willing to enter?"

The eerie and sarcastic voice sounded again. Master Wu, although filled with killing intent, wanted to rush in immediately, but Yang Haoran hadn't given the order, so he didn't dare make any moves.

Yang Haoran's face remained calm, with a faint smile, his hands in his pockets, strolling towards the opening of the barrier as if taking a leisurely walk.

Master Wu saw Yang Haoran take a step forward and naturally wouldn't hesitate, following closely behind him.

In just a moment, the two of them arrived at the opening of the barrier.

"Yang Divine Envoy, you're quite bold, remaining calm in the face of danger. I admire you. It's a pity that our identities are different. If you weren't the Underworld Envoy of the Yin Division, but rather one of our spirit masters, I believe we could have become good friends."

When Yang Haoran and Master Wu arrived at the opening of the barrier, the voice from inside the barrier sounded again. However, his tone was still as eerie and sarcastic as before, and Yang Haoran couldn't sense any sincerity.

"Heh, you're right. If it weren't for our identities, we might have become good friends."

Yang Haoran's footsteps paused, and he smiled as he responded. Of course, this wasn't a genuine sentiment, but he had said so many insincere words in his life that it had become a habit, and he wouldn't bother with it anymore.

It didn't matter what the other person believed; as long as Yang Haoran himself didn't believe it, that was all that mattered.

He stopped in front of the opening of the barrier not because he was suddenly afraid, but because he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the situation inside the barrier. However, he didn't discover anything, and it seemed that the other person had anticipated this.

Although he didn't find anything, he still had to continue with his plan. Yang Haoran took another step forward, leading Master Wu into the barrier.

As the two of them entered the barrier, the opening of the barrier closed behind them.

Under the influence of the barrier, Severed Head Mountain was calm and peaceful, looking no different from usual. However, the situation inside the barrier was filled with a sense of danger at all times.

Yang Haoran had already sensed a large amount of Yin Qi emanating from the opening of the barrier before he even entered, and after entering, he sensed even more intense Yin Qi.

Under his gaze, the black Yin Qi rose, although not as dense as the extreme yin place, but comparable to some of the most ominous locations.

The original peak of Severed Head Mountain had disappeared long ago, and now the peak was a flat area, as if sliced by a sharp blade.

The area was not small, but it wasn't barren either. There were dense weeds, sturdy trees, and even vines like small snakes, all lush and vibrant.

However, the dense Yin Qi had disrupted the natural balance, making the area feel cold and lifeless, with no sounds of birds or beasts, not even the slightest insect noise.

Although he could still smell the fragrance of wildflowers and the scent of nature, this smell didn't bring a sense of refreshment, but rather a sense of extreme danger.

In a short time, the vegetation in this area wouldn't be affected much, but if time went on, the heavy Yin Qi would be enough to turn this place into a true dead zone, where not even birds or beasts would appear, and all the vegetation would undergo a drastic change, either withering under the Yin Qi or mutating under its influence.

Yang Haoran, who had seen his fair share of the world, didn't put much stock in this dense Yin Qi. As the Underworld Envoy, he was used to dealing with Yin Qi, so why would he be concerned about this amount?

He landed on the ground, his gaze fixed on a direction, where a large tree stood, with a figure leaning against its trunk.

This person was a young man, looking to be in his early twenties, even younger than Yang Haoran.

As for his true age, it was hard to say, possibly matching his appearance, or possibly not. For people like them who weren't ordinary, appearance wasn't always a reliable measure of age.

Yang Haoran, of course, didn't care about the man's age; what he cared about was the man's strength.

The power fluctuations emanating from this person weren't strong, not even comparable to Master Wu's without his heaven soul opened. However, Yang Haoran didn't think this was the man's full strength, believing that he was suppressing his power fluctuations.

"Heh, Yang Divine Envoy, what do you think of this environment?"

When Yang Haoran looked at the man, the man also looked at Yang Haoran, smiling as he asked.

"Heh, it's all the same, wherever we fight."

Yang Haoran responded with a smile, his face still calm.
