Realm of the Night God

Bai Xue struck, and the battle ended quickly. The huge power gap led to the six middle-aged men being completely powerless against Bai Xue, and they were swallowed into her mouth in no time.

When the six men were spat out of Bai Xue's mouth, they were all lifeless, becoming dry and withered corpses. Not only were their spirits consumed by Bai Xue, but their blood also became her nourishment.

As for their souls, Bai Xue was not interested, so she didn't touch them, leaving them inside their corpses.

Looking at the six dry and withered corpses on the ground, Yang Haoran lightly waved his hand, and the yin qi immediately wrapped around the corpses. The yin qi was like black poisonous snakes, piercing through the seven orifices of the six men, and then their souls were forcibly condensed and extracted, floating in mid-air in front of Yang Haoran.

When Yang Haoran collected the souls, Bai Xue had already transformed back into her human form and returned to his side.

After the six men were eliminated by Bai Xue, the remaining Spirit Police on the scene all let out a sigh of relief. However, some Spirit Police soon revealed complex expressions on their faces because they didn't know how to face Bai Xue.

Although these Spirit Police had not attacked Bai Xue, the deceased Administration Director had issued an order to expel Bai Xue from the Spirit Police team and treat her as a wanted criminal. Now, the one who had saved their lives was this great demon, Bai Xue. How could they not feel complicated?

"Take me to see Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou's corpses first."

Yang Haoran saw the reactions of these Spirit Police, knowing why they had complex expressions. However, he didn't put this matter in his heart and didn't bother to calculate it. Instead, he requested to see Deputy Captain Zhou and Captain Luo's corpses. Раrt оf а sеriеs hоstеd by Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (МV&LЕМР&YR).

The Spirit Police headquarters building was very grand, but it was now in a state of disrepair. The signs of battle were everywhere.

When they arrived at Captain Luo's recovery room, Yang Haoran saw Captain Luo's corpse on the bed. At this time, Captain Luo had no signs of life, and fresh blood had soaked through the bed sheets, staining the bed red.

In a corner of the room, Yang Haoran also found another corpse. This person was covered in bloodstains, with gruesome wounds all over his body. He was none other than Deputy Captain Zhou.

Looking at the two corpses, Yang Haoran's usual smile disappeared, and his face showed no sadness or joy.

Compared to Yang Haoran, Bai Xue's reaction was much stronger. Although she wore a mask, her large eyes still revealed her sorrow, which was very obvious. Anyone who wasn't blind could see the grief in her eyes.

"Captain Luo was originally recovering from his injuries, and although he still had a long way to go before fully recovering, his life was saved. But we never expected that he would be assassinated by those people. Deputy Captain Zhou was the first to discover this, but instead of stopping the tragedy, he also got himself killed."

A Spirit Police spoke up, saying this not only to Yang Haoran but also to Bai Xue.

"I never thought that just after parting ways with him, he would end up like this. Alas." Bai Xue spoke in a low voice, still sighing at the end.

"They not only lost their physical bodies but also had their souls scattered. In this situation, even I am powerless." Yang Haoran said.

Yang Haoran didn't examine the two corpses closely, but through his senses, he could still determine that there were no soul remnants left in their bodies.

In other words, both Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou had already had their souls dispersed, and even as the Underworld Envoy, Yang Haoran was helpless in this situation.

"Yang Divine Envoy, are you really out of options?"

A female Spirit Police officer asked Yang Haoran, her voice trembling slightly. Although she was a Spirit Police officer, the power fluctuations emanating from her body were weak, indicating that her abilities were not strong. Her insight, however, seemed to be proportional to her abilities.

Yang Haoran shook his head lightly and then let out a sigh, but didn't say a word. His reaction had already explained everything.

In the next short while, Yang Haoran briefed the Spirit Police officers on the situation and then left the Spirit Police headquarters. As for Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou's aftermath, it was left to other Spirit Police officers to handle.

But he had more important things to attend to.

Before leaving the Spirit Police headquarters, Yang Haoran gave Bai Xue some secret instructions. After that, he left, and Bai Xue stayed behind.

"Although Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou have already lost their souls, we still need to handle their aftermath properly. We can't be careless. Moreover, the injured and deceased outside need our timely attention, so we shouldn't waste time due to our grief and neglect others' treatment."

Bai Xue's voice paused slightly before continuing.

"During this time, I'll stay at the Spirit Police headquarters to protect you all. No matter who it is, if they dare to cause trouble for you at this time, they'll have to step over my dead body first. If they can't step over my dead body, then I'll step over theirs!"

It wasn't that Bai Xue was still a Spirit Police officer, but even when she was, she didn't have the authority to mobilize other Spirit Police officers because she wasn't Captain Luo or Deputy Captain Zhou. She didn't have that kind of power.

However, after years of effort, her position within the Spirit Police team had undergone significant changes. Although she still didn't have real power, other Spirit Police officers respected her greatly, or even feared her.

Because not only was she the strongest in the entire Spirit Police team, but many Spirit Police officers had also been saved by her once or multiple times. Just these two points were enough to give her a special status within the Spirit Police organization.

Now that Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou were no longer around, the Spirit Police team was like a dragon without a head, and Bai Xue's words naturally carried a lot of weight.

Moreover, with Bai Xue protecting them, their safety was also guaranteed, so naturally wouldn't oppose Bai Xue's arrangements.

No one bothered to argue about Bai Xue not being a Spirit Police officer anymore. In this situation, they urgently needed a leader, and they were eager for Bai Xue to take charge.

Meanwhile, Yang Haoran, who had left the Spirit Police headquarters, returned to his villa. The first thing he did was to forcibly awaken the middle-aged man's soul and then interrogate him.

The interrogation lasted for several hours, until the bright moon was high in the sky, before he finally ended it and walked out of the study room.

Under his interrogation, he finally had a general understanding of the events of the day.

The Ancheng Administrative Bureau had long had the idea of annexing Lecheng, because Lecheng was the closest to Ancheng, and Lecheng's abilities were not as strong as Ancheng's in various aspects. Therefore, for Ancheng, taking down Lecheng was easier than taking down other cities.

To successfully take down Lecheng, they first had to eliminate Lecheng's Spirit Police, because the Spirit Police were the Administrative Bureau's strongest force. Eliminating the Spirit Police was equivalent to cutting off the Administrative Bureau's left and right arms.

As for the military, they could still handle ordinary people, but they were not as effective against non-ordinary people. Once a city's Spirit Police were eliminated, the military alone could not stop the enemy's invasion, so the Ancheng Administrative Bureau wanted to eliminate Lecheng's Spirit Police first.

The Administration Director's death had nothing to do with the two demon hunters, but was orchestrated by the Ancheng Administration Director himself. Although the Spirit Police were very important to a city, the Administration Director was equally important. As long as the Administration Director died, the Administrative Bureau would be in disarray, making it easier to deal with.

After eliminating Lecheng's Administration Director, the next targets were Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou. Once they died, the Spirit Police would naturally be paralyzed, making it even easier to deal with.
