When the temple was first built, this Night Watch discovered it.
At first, he didn't know what deity the villagers were worshiping in the temple, and he even thought that it might be a Death God Temple, given that the number of believers in the Yin Division Death God was increasing.
However, after the temple was completed, he entered the temple and took a look, only to discover that it wasn't a Death God Temple, but a Spirit God Temple!
The appearance of the Spirit God was sothing that Yang Haoran had already made public, so the Night Watch under him recognized the Spirit God image, and this Night Watch was no exception.
Over the past six months, they had been on guard against spirit masters' sneak attacks and had been searching for their traces, but the spirit masters had vanished into thin air, never once appearing in Lecheng.
So, after discovering the temple, this Night Watch couldn't wait to continue searching for undead in his jurisdiction; he imdiately dropped everything and rushed to Lecheng overnight, eting with Master Wu and reporting his discovery.
Although this Night Watch hadn't found any traces of the spirit master, the appearance of the Spirit God Temple was enough to explain many things - why ordinary people would know about the Spirit God and why they would build a Spirit God Temple on their own. There must be a spirit master behind this, and he understood the importance of this matter, so he didn't dare to delay.
After listening to Master Wu's report, Yang Haoran took a sip of tea, then handed Master Wu a cigarette. Master Wu saw that Yang Haoran wasn't in a hurry and had no idea what Yang Haoran was thinking, but he was getting anxious.
He couldn't urge Yang Haoran, so he could only take the cigarette and wait for Yang Haoran's next move.
Yang Haoran lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and then asked Master Wu, "What do you think about this?"
Master Wu naturally had thoughts about this matter, but it was a major issue, and he didn't dare make a decision on his own, so he had rushed back from the Death God Temple to let Yang Haoran decide.
"I think we should send soone to investigate imdiately, follow the trail, and definitely catch the spirit master behind the scenes," Master Wu said, expressing his thoughts.
Yang Haoran nodded in agreent. "I think similarly, but sending an ordinary Night Watch might not be enough; they might even get killed."
Master Wu furrowed his brow slightly. "Are you worried that there's a trap?"
Yang Haoran smiled. "Can't rule out that possibility. These spirit masters have been hiding in Lecheng for so long; who knows if they're disgusted with us or have other plans? If it's the forr, it's okay, but if it's the latter, it's a bit tricky."
Master Wu thought for a mont before speaking up. "Why don't I go investigate personally? Although I haven't opened my heaven soul yet, I'm not too far from it. If there's a trap, I can think of a way to escape."
Yang Haoran hesitated for a mont before shaking his head. "Your current strength is not weak, but your body is getting weaker by the day. You're not young anymore, and I don't think you can handle the strain, so you should stay at the Death God Temple."
Yang Haoran took another puff of his cigarette, then extinguished it and stood up. "I'll go myself. It's been half a year since I've had any physical activity, and this is a good opportunity to get so exercise. Who knows, I might even get to stretch my muscles."
Master Wu's expression changed slightly when he heard that Yang Haoran was going to handle the matter personally; it seed like overkill to him, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Why don't you take two capable Night Watch with you, Boss? That way, they can handle any small issues that co up, and you won't have to do everything yourself," Master Wu suggested.
"Forget it, I'll go alone. Having too many people can make things more complicated," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Yang Haoran had already made up his mind, and Master Wu didn't say anything more. The two of them left the villa, but Yang Haoran didn't head to the small town that Master Wu had ntioned. Instead, he tore through space and sent Master Wu to the South Lake Death God Temple.
At that ti, there were a few believers gathered in front of the Death God statue at the South Lake Death God Temple. So of them were burning incense, while others were kowtowing, their faces filled with reverence as they prayed to the statue, hoping to receive the Death God's protection and blessings for themselves and their families.
When the world was in chaos, ordinary people in Lecheng didn't dare to take a single step out of their hos. They spent their days in fear, and so people couldn't bear the ntal torture brought by this fear, so they chose to end their lives. Others went mad.
Other people, although they didn't go mad, didn't use extre thods to end their lives either. They wanted to survive in this world, so they had to eat and drink to sustain themselves. Life had to go on.
At first, they could rely on their family's stored supplies to get by, but this situation couldn't last for long. After they had exhausted all their food at ho, people started to venture out to find sothing to eat.
To protect the safety of ordinary people, the Administrative Bureau dispatched a large number of police and military personnel to patrol the streets at all tis, preventing and resolving sudden incidents.
With the Administrative Bureau's protection, ordinary people's safety was guaranteed to a certain extent, and their fear was also alleviated to so degree. Gradually, more and more people started to venture out of their hos.
Under the Administrative Bureau's strong demands and safety guarantees, so businesses reopened, bringing so vitality back to the desolate Lecheng.
However, up until now, the number of businesses that had reopened was still limited, and most ordinary people were still too afraid to venture out of their hos.
The current situation was only slightly better than when the world was in chaos, which was why there were a few believers at the South Lake Death God Temple.
Yang Haoran and Master Wu suddenly appeared in the space rift, which would have caused a huge shock to the people in front of them if it had happened before the chaos. So people might have even been scared out of their wits.
However, when they appeared in this way, they didn't cause too much of a shock to the believers. Instead, the believers showed great reverence towards them, kowtowing and worshiping them.
Yang Haoran watched this scene, then waved his hand, and a stream of Yin Qi rushed out, lifting the believers' bodies.
"I'll leave this to you to handle. I'll be off."
Yang Haoran gave Master Wu a simple instruction, then sent him out of the space rift. As Master Wu bowed in farewell, the space rift closed, and Yang Haoran disappeared.
When Yang Haoran erged from the space rift again, he had already arrived at the parking area inside the South Lake Death God Temple. He had left a car here a long ti ago, and he was planning to drive to the small town.
Although he could tear through space, he chose to drive instead. There was a reason for this.
If he chose to tear through space, he might alert others, as tearing through space would cause power fluctuations. To ensure a smooth journey, he decided to drive.
Master Wu had told him about the small town, but Yang Haoran had never been there. However, Master Wu had given him detailed directions, so he knew the way.
The car left the Death God Temple and entered the Lecheng city area. There were few vehicles on the roads, except for patrol cars and police cars. The streets on both sides of the road were also deserted, with only a few pedestrians in sight, all of whom were carrying guns and ammunition.
In the past, ordinary people were not allowed to carry guns and ammunition, not even for collection. However, the situation was different now. Ordinary people were not only allowed to own guns and ammunition but could also carry them on the streets without any issues.
Yang Haoran didn't know much about the Administrative Bureau's affairs, but he could guess that the pressure on them was enormous. They had to deal with demons, ghosts, and monsters, as well as the threat of invasion at any mont. The most pressing issue was how to solve the food problem.
In Yang Haoran's opinion, these issues were enough to give soone a headache. Adding them all up, the pressure was imnse.
However, these were not his problems to worry about. The Administrative Bureau would find a way to handle them. If they couldn't, other forces would take over Lecheng and handle these issues.
Besides, these were not his problems to solve. He just needed to focus on his own tasks, and others would handle the rest.
