Chapter 854: A Necessary Reminder
Yang Haoran's face was smiling, but that didn't mean what he was about to say wasn't important. He just had a habit of smiling.
Master Wu, who had followed Yang Haoran for a long time, was naturally aware of this.
He felt that what Yang Haoran was about to say was important, not only because of his understanding of Yang Haoran, but also because Yang Haoran had mentioned his family.
"Boss, please speak. I will definitely handle this matter properly!" Master Wu guaranteed hastily, even though he didn't know what Yang Haoran was going to say.
"This time, during the battle, don't leak out any information. Remember to keep your mouth shut, not a single word. It's best to forget about this matter. This is not only for you to do, but also for your family to remember."
Yang Haoran smiled as he spoke, but his words were not as simple as they seemed.
"I understand, Boss. I will not only take care of my own mouth but also make sure my family members keep their mouths shut. We won't leak out a single word," Master Wu guaranteed hastily, while also guessing what Yang Haoran meant in his heart.
He felt that Yang Haoran's words were not just about the death of the two demon hunters. Those two demon hunters had died miserably in Lecheng, which was not a small matter. They were members of the Demon Hunter Association and held positions, so if the association found out, they would not let it go easily, even if they were in the wrong. They had their reputation to protect, and their people had been killed, including two Three-Star Demon Hunters. It was impossible for them to remain silent, and it would definitely bring some trouble to Yang Haoran.
Apart from that, he felt that Yang Haoran was more concerned about another point, which was Yang Haoran's strength compared to Xu Meijing's. Although he hadn't witnessed the scene, the three of them had worked together to kill the two Three-Star Demon Hunters, which required absolute strength. If Ye Zhiqiu hadn't hidden his strength, they wouldn't have been able to kill the two old and experienced Three-Star Demon Hunters.
After getting Master Wu's guarantee, Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying a phrase he often said to Master Wu.
"Hehe, Old Wu will handle it, I'm at ease."
As Yang Haoran's words fell, Master Wu suddenly thought of something.
"Boss, what about the souls of those two demon hunters and the spirit master? Are there any other arrangements?" Master Wu asked.
Yang Haoran thought for a moment before smiling faintly.
"Let's do this. You hand over all three souls to me, and you can take a good rest for a while. You've been following me for a long time, and I haven't given you a proper break. You've been working too hard, and it's time to take a rest."
The three souls, Yang Haoran naturally wanted to interrogate them, especially the spirit master's soul, which was a must-interrogate target. He had originally planned to let Master Wu handle it, but after thinking about it, he decided to give Master Wu a few days off and handle the interrogation himself.
"Boss, if there's anything I can do, please let me know. I won't have any problems, and I won't let my emotions affect my work," Master Wu said hastily.
"Hehe, I believe you, but you should rest when you're tired. It's the right way to do things. You don't need to persuade me, I have it all planned out. Just take out the three souls," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Master Wu knew that Yang Haoran had already made up his mind, so he didn't insist further, nodded, and took out a soul gathering bead from his independent space. Inside the bead were two soul threads.
To be precise, they shouldn't be called soul threads, but rather Soul Qi, because these two soul threads were as thick as a cigarette and much thicker than the ordinary soul threads that formed from souls. They were comparable to the soul threads that evil spirits could form in a soul gathering bead.
These two strands of Soul Qi are actually the transformed souls of those two demon hunters, but currently, the souls of this couple are still in a dormant state and have not awakened yet. Therefore, the Soul Qi within the soul gathering bead is in a static state.
"Heh heh, it's no wonder they're Three-Star Demon Hunters. Even after death, their souls can rival evil spirits. It's just a pity that, even so, in front of me, they're no different from ants, and they won't know that when they wake up, the ants they see will have transformed into giants, while they themselves will have become ants. I'm sure they'll be very unwilling to accept that."
Yang Haoran laughed and spoke, then shifted his gaze from the soul gathering bead to Master Wu.
"These two souls are just for play, and it's hard to say whether we can extract any useful value from them. However, the spirit master's soul might bring me some surprises." Thankyouforreading.ThiswasbroughttoyoubyM|V|L*EMPYR.
Yang Haoran lightly waved his hand, and the soul gathering bead hovering in front of him disappeared, being stored in his independent space.
"The spirit master's soul and his Guardian Spirit are both in my soul weapon. I'll take them out for you, Boss."
Master Wu's expression turned serious, and he directly opened his heaven soul in front of Yang Haoran.
"Heaven soul, open!"
With a low shout, Master Wu opened his heaven soul, releasing a powerful Yin spirit power that spread throughout the villa, causing everyone to sense the strong power fluctuation.
"Old Wu's soul weapon. No need to be nervous. Just do what you need to do."
The others in the villa had different expressions, thinking something had happened, but Yang Haoran's sudden voice restored their calm.
From the rolling Yin Qi beside him, Master Wu took out a black bell. The bell itself looked ordinary, but the blood-colored ghost hands on it appeared extremely terrifying.
This black bell was the first soul weapon Master Wu obtained after opening his heaven soul, the Soul Summoning Bell.
Master Wu lightly waved his hand, and the Soul Summoning Bell rose into the air, rapidly expanding above the two people's heads, transforming into a size comparable to a full-grown water buffalo. It slowly rotated, and the ghost hands on the bell appeared even more terrifying, as if they might come to life at any moment and crawl out of the bell.
"Heh heh, your soul weapon looks quite interesting. Is it a special soul weapon?"
Yang Haoran wasn't in a hurry to deal with the spirit master's soul, but instead showed interest in Master Wu's soul weapon.
Master Wu, although he had just opened his heaven soul and obtained his own soul weapon, had read many books and had access to Yang Haoran's study room, so he had some knowledge of soul weapons and knew what Yang Haoran meant.
"My soul weapon does have some similarities to special soul weapons, but if you say it's an attack-type soul weapon, that's also possible. It's just that its attack method is a bit special," Master Wu said with some uncertainty.
"Oh?"
Master Wu saw Yang Haoran's interested expression and explained further.
"I've named this soul weapon the Soul Summoning Bell. It can shock and stun the target's mind within a certain time, causing them to lose control of their soul and become disoriented, losing all ability to act, including attacking or defending. Even soul bodies and ghosts are not exceptions. The duration of the effect depends on my strength and the opponent's strength."
Master Wu paused briefly before continuing.
"Besides this ability, my Soul Summoning Bell also has another ability. These blood-colored ghost hands can be controlled by me to leave the bell and, in an instant, extract the target's soul from their physical body. If it's a ghost without a physical body, it's even more convenient, as I can directly capture their soul body into the Soul Summoning Bell. And the souls stored in the Soul Summoning Bell can be taken out at any time, as long as I don't intend to let them scatter."
