As Yang Haoran's gaze fell upon him, Master Wu's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a bit involuntarily.
Yang Haoran had many conversations with the man in black, but Master Wu didn't quite understand them. Terms like "opening heaven soul" and "opening earth soul" were beyond his current grasp, so he couldn't make much sense of them.
However, what the man in black said to Yang Haoran just before leaving was crystal clear to him. The man asked Yang Haoran to handle things cleanly. Did this an that Yang Haoran was going to take action against them?
Unlike Master Wu, the other two Night Watch mbers remained imrsed in the sorrow of losing the Death Mark Seal. Apart from this, they paid no attention to anything else, let alone details.
Even though the man in black had left, their minds were still buzzing, unable to break free from grief and disappointnt.
However, they did hear what the man in black said to Yang Haoran as he left.
Although they heard it, their interpretation of those words was entirely different from Master Wu's. They never delved deep into understanding the aning. Master Wu thought that the man in black's "handle it cleanly" ant eliminating those who knew too much to prevent any negative impact on Yin Division and the man in black himself.
But these two thought differently. They believed that "handling it cleanly" ant cleaning up the scene, especially since it was strewn with corpses.
Anyone not a fool wouldn't entertain such thoughts. Yet, they weren't fools, but their focus remained on the forcibly extracted Death Mark Seal within them.
Besides the Death Mark Seal, their minds had no room for anything else, and they couldn't think as much as Master Wu.
Because of their excessive concern for the Death Mark Seal, they harbored significant dissatisfaction towards Yang Haoran at this mont.
If it weren't for Yang Haoran's loose tongue, their Death Mark Seals wouldn't have been forcibly removed.
Even at the mont the Death Mark Seal was forcibly removed, even Master Wu couldn't help feeling resentnt towards Yang Haoran.
Previously, with the man in black present, the three dared not show their dissatisfaction. Now that he was gone, Master Wu, still aware of the situation, kept his dissatisfaction hidden. However, the other two were different; not only did they show their dissatisfaction on their faces, but their gazes toward Yang Haoran also carried strong resentnt.
In their eyes, Yang Haoran had only beco a Night Watch a few months earlier than them. Due to Yang Haoran's strength, their attitude towards him had been fine. However, tonight, because of Yang Haoran, they lost their power, and how could they not feel resentnt?
"Yang Haoran, what have we done to offend you? You actually hard us like this. We lost our Death Mark Seals. What benefit is there for you?" one of them couldn't contain his anger and loudly questioned Yang Haoran.
"Yeah! Even if there's an issue with this Death Mark Seal, the divine envoy is dead! Can this Death Mark Seal harm us on its own? Don't tell us all of this is for our own good!" Another person joined in, unable to contain his frustration, loudly questioning Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a smiling face. However, Master Wu's expression changed when he heard the two's words. He sternly rebuked them, "Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for Haoran just now, the three of us would be dead. You don't have to be grateful, but accusing him? Is your brain not working properly?"
Being scolded by Master Wu, the two's faces beca even more unpleasant.
Yang Haoran could be forgiven, given that he beca a Night Watch a few months earlier than them and had superior strength. But Master Wu entered at the sa ti as them, making it hard for them to accept.
"What gives you the right to shout at us? What are you even?" one of them scolded.
His mood was already bad, and after being scolded by Master Wu, his temper worsened. Naturally, all of his anger was vented onto Master Wu.
Master Wu was a significant figure in Lecheng, and the two were aware of this. However, that was only in the ordinary world. Now that everyone was a Night Watch, they no longer cared about Master Wu's status.
In the past, figures like Master Wu were completely out of their league. Even if they wanted to make connections, it depended on Master Wu's mood. However, now that everyone was part of the Night Watch, the two felt that their status was equal to Master Wu's. They spoke and acted without any restraint, occasionally resorting to sarcasm and mockery to seek a unique sense of pleasure and satisfy their ridiculous vanity.
Master Wu couldn't recall the last ti soone had scolded him in such a manner. With a stern face, he spoke coldly, "Now that we no longer have the Death Mark Seal within us, it ans we, who have lost our powers, are no longer Night Watch. We are all ordinary people now. Have you not considered the consequences of speaking to like this?"
Master Wu's words were cold and filled with killing intent. A powerful aura emanated from him, a presence cultivated over years of holding a high position.
The two's expressions changed abruptly. Master Wu's words, filled with strong killing intent, made them realize the reality. Suddenly awakened, they understood that without their powers, they were ordinary people. With Master Wu's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with them.
Watching Master Wu, whose face turned unpleasant, both of them felt a chill in their hearts. A sudden coldness spread throughout their bodies, and they exchanged a glance, noticing the paleness on each other's faces at that mont.
Yang Haoran didn't pay much attention to the quarrel between the three.
As for why Master Wu suddenly stood up for him at this mont, Yang Haoran had his own judgnt. During the argunt, he remained silent, wearing a smiling face, and continued to walk towards the main seat in the hall step by step.
When Master Wu's montum completely overwheld the other two Night Watch mbers, the argunt concluded. The two backed down, and the victory belonged to Master Wu, though he couldn't find any joy in it.
At this mont, Yang Haoran also stopped in his tracks.
The three seed to sense sothing and turned their gaze towards Yang Haoran. In that look, they saw Yang Haoran sitting with a smile on the main seat.
This scene changed the expressions of Master Wu and the other two simultaneously.
Although they had not been Night Watch for a long ti, they had been to this hall before. They knew who the main seat belonged to and who had the qualifications to sit there.
Yet, Yang Haoran was now sitting in that position, which ant sothing significant. The other two didn't think much about it, but Master Wu had a guess about what it ant, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"Weren't we just arguing well? Why has it suddenly stopped?" Yang Haoran looked at the three and asked with a smile.
For this question, Master Wu wisely chose to remain silent. He thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut at this mont.
The other two Night Watch mbers, however, didn't think as much as Master Wu.
One of them, pointing at Yang Haoran with disbelief, exclaid, "Yang Haoran, this is the seat reserved for the divine envoy. As a Night Watch, how dare you sit in this position? Are you trying to rebel?"
"Rebel?" Yang Haoran chuckled and then crossed his legs, lightly sliding his right finger over the side of the seat. He said with a smile, "I never thought of rebelling. Don't falsely accuse . The reason I dare to sit in this position is because, from now on, this seat belongs to , Yang Haoran. And as for Lecheng Yin Division, from this mont forward, I call the shots."
