Tonight's situation was very unusual, Master Jiang had noticed it long ago. However, when the opportunity arose for him to escape from the crowd, he hesitated.
Because he couldn't find a reason to escape!
Deng Feng's series of actions tonight were indeed abnormal, but that couldn't be an excuse for him to flee at the critical moment. After all, Deng Feng's abnormality was just a feeling.
Deng Feng didn't directly harm them. Not only did he refrain from harming them, but he also repeatedly saved their lives. What reason did he have to escape from here?
If there were hidden motives behind Deng Feng's actions tonight, and they just weren't apparent to them, his fleeing would make him a traitor to the Yin Division. From now on, he would be hunted by the Yin Division!
Was it really appropriate to choose to flee just because of uncertain speculation, especially in this situation?
Was it really rational?
Seeing Master Jiang's hesitant expression, Yang Haoran felt anxious!
He knew what Master Jiang was worried about, but there were some things he didn't know how to explain to Master Jiang.
After organizing his thoughts, Yang Haoran finally spoke to Master Jiang, "Master Jiang, tonight's situation is much more complicated than you imagine. Trust me, take this opportunity to leave quickly. Otherwise, tonight, you are almost certainly going to die here, really!"
Yang Haoran intentionally lowered his voice and acted cautiously while saying this, because if others heard these words, it would be troublesome.
Master Jiang hesitated for a moment but ultimately shook his head.
"I can't just leave like this. It's not that I don't trust you, but because I am a believer of the Death God. For my god, I am willing to sacrifice my life. Deng Feng is the messenger of the god. In my eyes, his orders are the will of the god."
Disappointment showed on Yang Haoran's face. He hadn't noticed before that Master Jiang had such a stubborn side. Even though he knew that staying here could very likely cost him his life, he was willing to sacrifice himself for his faith.
However, Yang Haoran didn't give up because of Master Jiang's words. He continued to persuade him earnestly, "I know your devotion to God, but Deng Feng is just a Burial Master. He is not a god, nor does he represent the god. So you don't have to take risks just because of this. Do you know you are risking your life for a joke?"
Before Master Jiang could respond to Yang Haoran's words, there was a sudden muffled sound from beside them. Both of them were drawn to this sound.
They saw a Night Watch falling to the ground, looking hopeless as he stared at the screen in front of him. This scene caught Yang Haoran's eye, and it immediately aroused suspicion in him...
"What's wrong?" Yang Haoran quickly asked.
The person looked at Yang Haoran, devoid of the disdain he had before entering the crowd, and said with a desperate expression, "We can't get out of this formation. The imprint left by the divine envoy on us can only enter the formation, not leave it."
This statement changed Yang Haoran's expression, and even Master Jiang, who had already resigned himself to death, showed a change in expression.
Obviously, the Night Watch also felt that something was wrong tonight, so he wanted to take this opportunity to escape first.
Although he was also a believer of the Death God, he wasn't as devout as Master Jiang, or perhaps not as conservative as Master Jiang. Knowing that the situation was not right, his first thought was to leave here and save his life, rather than throw it away.
In this regard, his thoughts were not much different from Yang Haoran's.
However, the Night Watch had thought that he could walk out of the screen with the formation imprint left by the Divine Envoy Deng Feng in his body. But what he hadn't expected was that as soon as his body touched the screen released by the formation, he was thrown out by a force.
The formation imprint left by Divine Envoy Deng Feng in their bodies could only enter the formation, not leave it!
This discovery made the Night Watch even more certain of his speculation. Tonight's action was very unusual, and he might die here tonight!
So, as he looked at the screen of the formation, a look of despair appeared in his eyes.
Yang Haoran withdrew his gaze, ignoring the Night Watch, and didn't offer any words of comfort. He looked at Master Jiang again.
"Well, it seems I underestimated him. Even if you want to leave this time, you can't."
With a sigh, Yang Haoran shook his head, disappointment evident on his face.
Master Jiang saw Yang Haoran's reaction and mistakenly thought that Yang Haoran also wanted to leave. Regret showed on his face.
"If I had persisted for a while and not agreed to your request back then, you wouldn't have become a Night Watch. Although you wouldn't have had special powers, you could at least live a normal life. Sigh, but in just a few months, I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. If things really get serious, it's still my fault for causing harm to you."
Yang Haoran shook his head with a smile, "Master Jiang, you're being too harsh. The path was my own choice. Regardless of the outcome, I won't blame anyone. I only feel gratitude towards you, not an ounce of resentment."
Master Jiang shook his head with a ashamed expression and didn't speak further. Suddenly, Yang Haoran remembered the diamond talisman inside his body.
He knew his chances were slim tonight, even if he didn't die tonight, he probably wouldn't survive tomorrow. Because once tonight passed, he would lose his value to Duda, and once Duda activated the soul scattering needle, he would undoubtedly die.
Since death was inevitable either way, there was no need to waste a diamond talisman. If he gave this diamond talisman to Master Jiang, then Master Jiang would definitely have a better chance of survival. At least, it would give him a few more moments of life.
However, by doing this, the only person he would wrong would be Wang Yiming. He couldn't return this diamond talisman, which he used to protect himself, to him.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Haoran prepared to extract the diamond talisman from his body and then give it to Master Jiang.
However, before he could do so, there was a sudden explosion in the air, attracting the attention of all the Night Watch present!
Deng Feng's battle with Zhong Siyu had been ongoing, with collisions between Yin Qi and Yin spirit power, but this explosion was more intense than any previous collision!
Looking towards the source of the sound, Deng Feng's body was seen falling from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, leaving behind a large pit.
His opponent, Zhong Siyu, wasn't faring any better. After his soul body shattered and reformed, it became much fainter, hardly different from a regular evil spirit.
In the brief moment of collision, Yang Haoran hadn't seen everything, as his attention was focused on Master Jiang. But he understood in his heart that these two big shots must have used their deadliest moves.
"Duda, how long do you plan to drag this out? Do you still think I'm just acting with him?" Zhong Siyu's soul body rapidly absorbed the Yin Qi from the crowd while roaring angrily.
Yang Haoran's expression turned serious upon hearing this. He knew that the real show was finally about to begin!
And soon, he should be entering the fray as well!
Deng Feng climbed out of the pit, using a bone blade to support his body. Despite his weak breath and serious injuries, upon hearing Zhong Siyu's angry roar, a faint smirk appeared on his pale face.
Since he was currently bent over, panting, and coughing up blood, no one noticed this sudden smirk on his face.
When he raised his head again, the smirk vanished from his face, replaced by a look of anger and weakness due to his injuries.
Because of Zhong Siyu's angry roar, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. However, Duda didn't appear despite Zhong Siyu's words.
Zhong Siyu's expression turned ugly, while Deng Feng burst into laughter.
"Duda is a spirit master, and I am an Underworld Envoy. We've never gotten along, especially after I destroyed his two evil spirits some time ago. His hatred towards me runs deep."
"And you, Zhong Siyu, are no exception. I've trapped you here for many years, and your hatred towards me isn't any less than Duda's. When you agreed to act in this play with me, I never believed you for a moment."
"I knew early on that Duda, that old fox, would come looking for you. I also knew you would definitely collaborate with him to turn against me. So tonight, I decided to make the play real, take the opportunity to deal with you first, and then deal with that old fox, Duda!"
"However, judging from the current situation, it seems you've been sold out by that Old Man. With his cowardly nature, I doubt he'll believe you until I've gotten rid of you. Haha!"
