Realm of the Night God

To be honest, Yang Haoran was a bit surprised when Zhao Hong said those words to him in this situation.

It wasn't that he was surprised by Zhao Hong's bravery - spirit masters and the Yin Division have always been at odds, and if a spirit master's soul fell into the hands of an Underworld Envoy, their soul would surely be scattered. So Yang Haoran wasn't surprised that Zhao Hong would say such words without considering the consequences.

What surprised him was the content of Zhao Hong's words - that she was planning to make a move on him in the near future. This was news to Yang Haoran, so he was a bit taken aback.

Seeing that Zhao Hong didn't want to say more, Yang Haoran's smile remained unchanged.

"I am the Underworld Envoy. If I want to know something from you, it's not that you won't say it and I won't be able to know. Don't think that just because you're already dead, if you were still alive, I couldn't forcibly extract your soul and get the information I need," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

But his words didn't provoke any reaction from Zhao Hong, who just glared at him hatefully without saying a word.

Yang Haoran smiled without a reply, then directly activated his ghost eye.

As his eyes turned as black as ink, Yang Haoran saw flashes of Zhao Hong's past through the ghost eye, and in an instant, he gained a lot of information.

After a few breaths, Yang Haoran closed his eyes and then opened them again, his eyes returning to normal.

"You deserve to die."

Hearing this, Zhao Hong let out a crazy laugh.

Yang Haoran paid no attention to Zhao Hong's manic laughter, summoning a soul gathering bead and directly absorbing Zhao Hong's soul into it.

Just now, through the ghost eye, the scenes of Zhao Hong's past had flashed through his mind like a fast-forwarded movie. Through this information, he knew what kind of person Zhao Hong was.

Zhao Hong had a relatively good reputation among her friends and colleagues, but this was just a facade she had put on. Secretly, she had killed many people, including quite a few of her own relatives and friends.

Including the spirit master she had previously slain, who had once been one of her friends. Under her deception, that spirit master had almost lost their life to her years ago, though they managed to escape, but at the cost of their Guardian Spirit.

The reason Zhao Hong chose to work at the crematorium and had done so for many years was naturally to obtain more souls.

However, she had always been very careful. Some of the souls of the bodies that entered the crematorium were forcibly extracted by her, while others were not, because if she extracted the souls of all the bodies, it might attract the attention of the Underworld Envoy. Although there had been a few times when it had attracted the attention of the Night Watch, no one had been able to trace it back to her, so she had gone undetected for all these years.

As for the plan to make a move on Yang Haoran in the near future, through the conversation between Zhao Hong and her Guardian Spirit in her past life, Yang Haoran understood how this came about.

Yang Haoran, the newly appointed Burial Master, was not as powerful as Deng Feng, and Zhao Hong knew this. Due to her deep hatred of the Underworld Envoy, and the fact that the Yin spirit power in the Underworld Envoy's body was a great boon to her Guardian Spirit, she had set her sights on Yang Haoran.

Zhao Hong had already planned it out - she would find a way to bring her Guardian Spirit to the Malevolent Spirit realm in the near future, and then dealing with Yang Haoran the Underworld Envoy would be a piece of cake. But little did she know that fate had other plans, and Yang Haoran had targeted her first, taking the upper hand.

As for how Zhao Hong planned to quickly raise her Guardian Spirit to the Malevolent Spirit realm, she also had her own plan, and this plan involved something that would be of immense benefit to Yang Haoran as well.

This benefit greatly excited Yang Haoran. To him, it was an unexpected surprise. However, he didn't show it at the moment, because he still needed to clean up the battlefield in front of him.

Bai Xue had no idea what Yang Haoran had seen on Zhao Hong through the ghost eye, and since he didn't bring it up, she didn't ask.

The space rift had long since disappeared, and various items were piled up on Zhao Hong's body like a small mountain.

For the next half an hour, Yang Haoran and Bai Xue cleaned up all of Zhao Hong's collections.

First were Zhao Hong's personal and private items. Yang Haoran was not a pervert, and these things were useless to him.

Although Bai Xue was also a woman, she had no interest in the private items of this middle-aged woman, and naturally had no need for them either.

There were quite a few of these private items, but they were all cleaned up by Yang Haoran and Bai Xue, although the process was inevitably a bit awkward for the two of them.

After removing this category of items, the remaining collections were mostly related to spirit masters, and were predominantly books.

There were secret manuals on spirit summoning, some incomplete, some complete, and some just a few yellowed sheets of paper recording a single spirit summoning technique.

There were also some secret manuals on how to quickly cultivate a Guardian Spirit, how to improve the tacit understanding between the master and the Guardian Spirit, and how to strengthen the connection between the two.

There are also some books that introduce all kinds of supernatural phenomena, explain various strange things, and record the various organizations and occupations in this world, etc.

In addition to books and manuscripts, there are also some things that Yang Haoran and Bai Xue couldn't figure out, among which there was an item that piqued Yang Haoran's interest.

It was a bottle, a milk-white ceramic bottle the size of an ordinary beverage bottle.

The reason this ceramic bottle could arouse Yang Haoran's interest was that he had an identical ceramic bottle, and the one he had in his hand was the one he had obtained from Deng Feng's house before, but until now he still hadn't figured out what the ceramic bottle was used for.

What he didn't expect was that before he could figure out what the ceramic bottle was used for, he actually found an identical ceramic bottle at Zhao Hong's place.

Yang Haoran didn't ask Zhao Hong what the ceramic bottle was used for, because he recalled the information he had obtained from Zhao Hong's soul before, and knew that Zhao Hong had also accidentally obtained this ceramic bottle, and later tried to figure out what it was, but ultimately found nothing.

In other words, Zhao Hong didn't know what this ceramic bottle was either, she just felt it was a bit strange, so she kept it.

In addition to this ceramic bottle, the other few items that Yang Haoran didn't recognize, but through recalling the information he had obtained from Zhao Hong's soul, he was able to figure out the function and value of these things.

Among Zhao Hong's collection, the vast majority of the items are related to spirit masters, and the few items not related to spirit masters are just some books, which greatly disappointed Bai Xue, as she had no interest in these things.

However, when Bai Xue found a box and opened it, a look of delight appeared on her face.

After opening the box, a strong demonic qi was immediately released, and inside the box was a demonic pill, the reason why the demonic qi was not sensed before was that there was a seal on the box, so the demonic qi was not released at all, but after Bai Xue broke the seal and opened the box, the demonic pill immediately released a strong demonic qi.

Finding a demonic pill excited Bai Xue like a child, because the demonic pill was of immense value to her, as long as she could absorb and refine it, her strength would soar, the effect of which could not be compared to ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures, after all, a demonic pill represents the essence of a demon's lifetime of cultivation, and its value can be imagined.

According to the current treatment given to her by the Spirit Police, even if she worked for the Spirit Police for another ten years, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures she would get could not match this one demonic pill, so how could she not be pleased.

Of course, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures given to her by the Spirit Police are just ordinary goods, if they were high-end goods, then it would be a different story.

Yang Haoran did not compete with Bai Xue for this demonic pill, after all, he is not a demon, and the demonic pill has limited use in his hands, other than allowing him to recognize demonic script and hex, he has not found any other use for it yet, and he already has one demonic pill, getting another one would be a waste.

But Bai Xue is different, Bai Xue is a great demon, and the demonic pill can give full play to its value in her hands, so Yang Haoran naturally would not compete with her.

Moreover, this trip Bai Xue has really helped Yang Haoran a lot, she risked her life to help him, so he must give her a reward, and just now he was worrying about what to use to thank Bai Xue, the appearance of the demonic pill solved this problem.[Heartfelt thankyou for the support! SlaySaga]
