Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran suddenly returned to the villa, but this brought a great surprise to the people, demons, and ghosts in the villa.

Especially for Xiaokang, he was so excited that he was jumping up and down, his emotions were very excited.

For the whole year, Yang Haoran had not stayed at home for long, and Xiaokang was just a child after all. It's very normal for him to become excited after not seeing his Uncle Yang for a long time.

Yang Haoran could feel that Xiaokang's missing of him was not just an act, but completely heartfelt, so he was very relieved in his heart.

And the first thing Xiaokang did after seeing Yang Haoran was to demonstrate his strength in front of him.

Compared to the last time he left, Xiaokang's control of Yin spirit power was getting more and more handy, and in just five months, Xiaokang was able to reach this level, which still surprised Yang Haoran a bit.

After further questioning, it was learned that all this was thanks to Master Wu's good teaching, otherwise, even if Xiaokang had worked hard, it would have been difficult for him to control the Yin spirit power in his body so skillfully at this time.

Xiaokang's change surprised Yang Haoran, but what surprised him the most was Bai Xue's change.

The human spirit and demonic pill obtained from the battle with Zhao Hong back then, Bai Xue had long since completely refined them, and Bai Xue's strength had also soared as a result, with her demonic spiritual power completely erupting, even he could feel the strong threat!

The reason for Bai Xue's strength to increase so significantly was certainly partly due to the human spirit extracted from Zhao Hong and another spirit master's body, but it was definitely not the main reason, the main reason was still that demonic pill.

Yang Haoran's shock made Bai Xue very proud. In her impression, Yang Haoran had always been impassive, and to be able to make Yang Haoran show a shocked expression, she was happier than getting another demonic pill.

As for Master Wu's strength, there was no change, it was the same as when he last left, which was also understandable. Since his Burial Master was not here, no one was paying Night Watch's salary, so naturally, Master Wu's strength would not be enhanced.

The most unfortunate one was Xiu Juan. Since she was rescued by Yang Haoran, she had always been well-behaved and had never gone out to scare others or consume other souls, so her strength had never changed.

As for this problem, Yang Haoran was also at a loss, after all, pure yin qi was too precious, he himself did not have enough, of course he could not take out a part of it to satisfy Xiu Juan.

However, he believes that this problem should be improved soon, because now he has the soul-refining cauldron, as long as he refines the soul pill himself, it would not be difficult to take out some pure yin qi from time to time to enhance Xiu Juan's strength.

On the day he returned to the villa, Yang Haoran had Master Wu gather all the Night Watch members and immediately go to the South Lake Death God Temple for a meeting, and told them all to bring the undead they had intercepted in the past five months.

This time the Night Watch's soul exchange should be the last one for the year, because it's almost the end of the year.

The only difference from last year is that last year, their Boss Yang Haoran would appear once a month to collect the undead they had intercepted and give them pure yin qi on the spot.

However, this year, they only saw their Boss twice and only submitted souls twice.

After collecting the souls, Yang Haoran still distributed welfare to each Night Watch member according to last year's standard, which was additional pure yin qi and a good amount of New Genesis Coins.

Of course, the amount of pure yin qi they received was still directly related to their performance this year.

And Master Wu put in more effort this year than last year, so Yang Haoran gave him much more pure yin qi as an extra reward.

This whole year, all the undead submitted by the Night Watch was only over 16,000, but there was also an evil spirit, which was an unexpected surprise for Yang Haoran.

According to Master Wu's explanation, this evil spirit was subdued by him and a few Night Watch members a month ago, and they all suffered quite serious injuries at the time due to the evil spirit's strong strength.

After returning to the villa from the South Lake Death God Temple, Yang Haoran began to sort the souls, which ones could be submitted and which ones must be kept, he had to be absolutely cautious, not the slightest careless, once there was any loophole, it might bring him trouble, so he had to be very careful.

The evil spirit subdued by Master Wu and the others, Yang Haoran did not plan to keep, because too many people knew about this matter, and he also wanted to know how much reward an undead could bring, so he planned to submit it.

As for the soul of the spirit master Du Xiao, Yang Haoran also decided to submit it this year, because he wanted to see how much benefit he could get from submitting the soul of a spirit master.

As for the souls of spirit master Zhao Hong and another male spirit master, he did not plan to submit them temporarily, because he wanted to keep the two souls for research, to see if there were any other discoveries.

Moreover, if he submitted the souls of these two spirit masters, their Guardian Spirits would certainly have to be submitted together, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

If the soul of the two spirit masters have no research value, it doesn't matter if they are handed over. However, their Guardian Spirits are different - one is a malevolent spirit, and the other is a powerful evil spirit. It would be a shame to hand over such high-level ghosts with strong Yin Qi. Yang Haoran won't be foolish enough to make such a losing deal.

Besides, Yang Haoran also extracted a small amount of undead from the five soul-gathering beads left by Deng Feng, as Lecheng is short of souls this year. These undead are just ordinary ones, and he doesn't want to use them to refine soul pills. He will only take enough to exchange for two soul pills, as handing over too many souls at once might cause him trouble.

After making all the preparations, Yang Haoran didn't immediately go to find Xu Meijing, as there's still some time before the end of the year. He stayed in the villa, painted talismans, and went out to drink, but didn't start refining the soul pills. It's not that he doesn't want to, but refining soul pills takes time, and he doesn't want the materials to go to waste if the pills aren't finished before he has to go to the underworld.

Powerful ghosts are not easy to come by, and Yang Haoran doesn't want any waste. He's not the impatient type, so he decided to wait until after returning from the underworld to start refining the soul pills.

Just like last year, Yang Haoran plans to go find Xu Meijing in advance so they can go to the underworld together. But before leaving the villa, he released six undead from a separate soul-gathering bead.

These six undead were originally two from Yang Haoran's Night Watch and four from Captain Luo's Spirit Police. Yang Haoran wanted to confirm one last time whether they still wanted to stay with him or go to the underworld for reincarnation, as he had been ignoring them for the past few months.

As it turned out, two of the Spirit Police had changed their minds and decided to go to the underworld, while the two Night Watch members remained steadfast in their decision to stay with Yang Haoran. The other two Spirit Police also chose to stay, not out of loyalty to Yang Haoran, but rather because they still had unfinished business, like Xiu Juan.
