Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran's reaction didn't seem like an act at all. The demonic woman, seeing this, felt a sense of urgency.

She had pinned all her hopes of escaping on Yang Haoran. If he left without a word, how would she leave this place?

After waiting so long for an Underworld Envoy capable of destroying the demon suppression talisman, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Underworld Envoy big brother! Wait!" The demonic woman hurriedly called out to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran paused and turned to look at the demonic woman.

"What's up? Planning to tell me a joke?"

The demonic woman quickly waved her hands, smiling. "Just kidding earlier. How could I really consider these perverted ghosts' bones as a reward for Underworld Envoy big brother?"

Yang Haoran smiled at the demonic woman, not saying anything. His expression seemed to convey to her, "If you have any bargaining chips, hurry up and show them. I'm busy."

Though he didn't explicitly say it, the demonic woman wasn't foolish. She understood Yang Haoran's meaning. A charming smile reappeared on her face.

This statement piqued Yang Haoran's interest. He didn't know if the demonic woman was telling the truth, but if she was, he might gain something.

"What is it?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Hehe, before that, shouldn't you show me your sincerity?" The demonic woman chuckled. "How about making a vow to release me from here? Then I..."

Before the demonic woman could finish her sentence, several demon suppression talismans above the wooden door lit up simultaneously, emitting a stronger power fluctuation than before.

With this sudden development, the demonic woman paused, and Yang Haoran's smile froze. Both turned their gazes to the demon suppression talismans above the door.

Neither of them touched the talismans, and Yang Haoran merely stood at the doorway, not stepping out. According to logic, it was impossible for the demon suppression talismans to activate on their own.

While the demonic woman negotiated with Yang Haoran, all their attention was on him. She, too, did nothing that could activate the talismans.

Since neither of them did anything to activate the talismans, and the talismans activated on their own, only two possibilities remained.

The first possibility: a demon forcefully entered or exited the range covered by the demon suppression talismans, causing them to activate. However, in this dilapidated small room, the only occupants were Yang Haoran and the demonic woman, with no other demons present. Therefore, there was no demon exiting the room to trigger the talismans.

Similarly, it was impossible for a demon to suddenly enter from outside. Yang Haoran was at the doorway, and if a demon entered abruptly, he would have noticed. However, there was nothing outside, let alone a demon.

So, this possibility was ruled out.

Since the first possibility was unlikely, the second possibility remained!

The second possibility was that the owner of these demon suppression talismans was currently activating them. Hence, the talismans suddenly became active.

"Oh no! That wretched woman is awake!" The demonic woman seemed to realize something, and her expression turned ugly.

Yang Haoran, frowning, asked, "What are you talking about? Who's this wretched woman?"

The demonic woman looked at Yang Haoran, no longer wearing the seductive smile from before. Anger colored her face as she asked, "Haven't you seen a crazy woman down the mountain?"

"Crazy woman?" Yang Haoran raised an eyebrow. He knew who the demonic woman was referring to.

Since discovering the demon suppression talisman here and witnessing the "noodles" boiling in the demonic woman's pot, Yang Haoran knew that there was an unknown grudge between the demonic woman and the crazy woman down the mountain.

The crazy woman was a powerful black talisman master who had gone mad due to a hex. Disgusting long hair filled her stomach.

And the reason the demonic woman was trapped in this dilapidated house and couldn't leave was because of the presence of several black talismans above the door, and all these talismans were demon suppression talismans!

When considering the demonic woman and the crazy woman, Yang Haoran couldn't believe there was no enmity between them.

Though Yang Haoran understood this, he didn't show it when he met the demonic woman and didn't bring up the matter voluntarily.

At that time, the demonic woman sensed that the hex on the crazy woman had been forcefully broken, but she didn't know who was responsible.

Even though she had a corpse controlled by magic that she could use to gather information, the old farmer, who happened to be the first batch of Spirit Police to arrive today, was severely injured and fell into a deep sleep. It took her considerable effort to awaken the old farmer and send him down the mountain to gather information. However, just as she awakened the old farmer, Yang Haoran appeared.

Due to this, the old farmer hadn't gathered any useful information for the demonic woman before Yang Haoran took care of him.

When Yang Haoran appeared, the demonic woman also suspected if he was behind everything, given his seeming understanding of talismans. Being friends with the crazy woman was not out of the question.

However, she couldn't be completely sure, and she remained cautious of Yang Haoran.

The reason she spoke so much to Yang Haoran earlier was to gather more information through their conversation. At the very least, she wanted to understand why Underworld Envoy Yang Haoran had come to find her.

After testing, she didn't get the ideal results, so she chose to negotiate with Yang Haoran through a trade, curious about the choices he would make.

If Yang Haoran was willing to help her, it might indicate that the matter with the crazy woman wasn't closely related to him. But if Yang Haoran refused to help, it would be intriguing, and she would have to act preemptively.

However, what she didn't expect was that the crazy woman would wake up so quickly. According to her estimation, even if the hex was forcibly broken, it would take at least three to five days to wake up. However, the reality proved her estimation wrong.

Her miscalculation would undoubtedly come with a painful price. Angry, she didn't care whether the hex on the crazy woman was Yang Haoran's doing or not and vented her anger with a furious scolding.

Yet, she hadn't received a response from Yang Haoran. Suddenly, the ground in the room began to crack with a clicking sound, and the floor started to split rapidly.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and join forces with me to destroy these demon suppression talismans, or we'll both be suppressed under this mountain. It'll be even harder to turn the tables later!"

Seeing more and more cracks in the ground, the demonic woman was too lazy to bother about who had broken the hex on the crazy woman. She urgently urged Yang Haoran.

"Demon suppression talismans are meant for you, not me."

Having said that, Yang Haoran took a small wooden box from his pocket. With a wave of his hand, the wooden box disappeared, stored in his separate space.

The wooden box he suddenly stored in the separate space contained the demonic pill he had obtained.

According to Yang Haoran's estimate, as long as the demonic pill was stored in the separate space, the demon suppression talismans should stop attacking him.

However, when he looked down at his feet, he was stunned!

The ankle chain on his feet hadn't disappeared because he stored the demonic pill in the separate space!
