Chapter 160: There Will Be a Day of Reckoning



<

According to his initial expectations, although the pure Yin Qi obtained from the Soul Qi infusion this time wasn\'t expected to exceed the last time, it shouldn\'t have been less either. But the reality was a huge gap from what he had anticipated.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the other Night Watch members, Deng Feng, with a grim face, spoke up, "The pure Yin Qi from the Soul Qi infusion this month is halved. It will return to normal next month."

There was no further explanation, just this one sentence.

The Night Watch members were all stunned, some even thought they had misheard. When they finally reacted, their expressions varied.

What was this?

This was clearly withholding employee wages, and doing so unapologetically!

There was no way the Night Watch members present would not have objections. Including Yang Haoran, all Night Watch members dared to be angry but not to voice it.

No one dared to be the first to speak out at this time because all Night Watch members present understood clearly that whoever spoke out at this moment would be seeking death!

"Go about your business, don\'t waste time here."

Deng Feng waved his hand, indicating that the Night Watch members present could leave. The Night Watch members looked at each other and ultimately chose to silently leave the hall.

When they entered the hall, their moods were still good because today was payday for them, but now they couldn\'t feel happy about it anymore.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Anyone whose wages were inexplicably halved and didn\'t even receive a basic explanation wouldn\'t be happy, probably.

After Deng Feng left, still wearing a grim expression, he didn\'t mention anything about Xu Meijing, leaving these Night Watch members very puzzled.

At this point, with the pure Yin Qi inexplicably halved, their feelings turned from confusion to anger.

Yang Haoran was equally displeased, but like the other Night Watch members, he kept silent about Deng Feng\'s actions.

It wasn\'t that he didn\'t want to vent his anger, but he simply didn\'t have the ability or the qualification to do so in front of Deng Feng.

The power within him now came from the power seed planted by Deng Feng. Once he angered Deng Feng, not only would the power seed be revoked, leading to a loss of power, but he might even lose his life as a result, which was entirely possible.

Was it worth it for a moment of dissatisfaction?

Certainly not. Yang Haoran wasn\'t a hot-blooded youth. He knew clearly what he wanted and what he should do. To achieve his goals, what was a little hardship, a little injustice?

Even if the pure Yin Qi was halved, even if Deng Feng didn\'t give him any pure Yin Qi at all, he wouldn\'t show any sign of dissatisfaction.

However, there was certainly anger towards Deng Feng in his heart. Although he didn\'t show any dissatisfaction on his face, he noted this incident in his heart.

The thoughts of the other Night Watch members were similar to Yang Haoran\'s. After all, they were not ordinary people. Not everyone had the opportunity to become Night Watch members, and they didn\'t want to lose this extraordinary power, so they had to endure.

"Yang Haoran, stay behind."

Just as Yang Haoran was about to leave the hall, he heard Deng Feng\'s low voice behind him.

Suddenly being called out by Deng Feng, the other Night Watch members looked at Yang Haoran with puzzled expressions, some even showing envy in their eyes.

A Night Watch member showing envy likely thought Yang Haoran was going to be given special treatment, that Divine Envoy Deng Feng was going to favor this outstanding newcomer!

However, Yang Haoran\'s thoughts were exactly the opposite of these Night Watch members!

At the moment Deng Feng called him, Yang Haoran couldn\'t help but tremble inwardly, a bad feeling arising within him.

However, Yang Haoran didn\'t show his inner unease on his face. He smiled and turned to face Deng Feng.

The atmosphere remained oppressive and heavy, not alleviated by Yang Haoran\'s smile.

"Do you know Wang Qing and Gao Liang?" Deng Feng asked Yang Haoran in a low voice, his face still grim.

Yang Haoran couldn\'t help but feel a pang of anxiety. The thing he feared most had happened!

At this moment, he was filled with regret, not for killing Wang Qing, but for being too careless. He not only failed to clean up the situation properly but also handed over the souls of Wang Qing and Gao Liang to Deng Feng!

Wang Qing had harbored murderous intentions towards him, and for someone like her, whether male or female, Yang Haoran would never leave such a menace behind. She was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to strike at any moment. So, she had to be eliminated to prevent future troubles!

If he could do it over again, Wang Qing would still die, perhaps even more miserably. So he didn\'t regret killing Wang Qing; he had felt the same before, and he still did now.

But at this moment, he had to pay the price for his carelessness!

Yang Haoran didn\'t show any of his thoughts. He maintained his smile and nodded crisply, "Yes, I know them. To be frank, Wang Qing\'s death has something to do with me."

Deng Feng was taken aback. He obviously didn\'t expect Yang Haoran to answer so frankly. He thought Yang Haoran would feign ignorance or act panicked, fearing exposure.

Yet, he admitted it readily, which completely caught Deng Feng off guard.

After a brief moment of confusion, Deng Feng quickly regained his composure, his face showing anger. He felt his authority was being challenged.

"You... admit it quite readily, that\'s good. Saves me the trouble of explaining," Deng Feng said sharply.

With that, Deng Feng suddenly stood up, a powerful aura bursting out from him, black Yin Qi billowing around him. It seemed as if he was preparing to clean house!

Yang Haoran\'s face suddenly changed, showing both fear and confusion. He hurriedly asked, "Divine Envoy, what are you planning?"

"Hmph! And you dare ask me? As a Yin Division Night Watch member, you actually took action against an ordinary person. What do you think we should do? What do you think I should do?" Deng Feng asked, his face full of anger.

At first, Yang Haoran seemed puzzled, as if he didn\'t understand Deng Feng\'s words.

Then his expression changed, as if he understood Deng Feng\'s meaning.

Finally, he looked panicked and quickly said, "Divine Envoy, let me explain. Wang Qing\'s death indeed has something to do with me, but I was forced to do it!"

"Forced? Hmph, you really have a good excuse for yourself. Or maybe you just can\'t find any excuses?" Deng Feng asked angrily.

Although he said so, Deng Feng didn\'t immediately take action. Yang Haoran could see this scene and understand it, but his face still showed anxiety.

"Divine Envoy, Wang Qing harbored murderous intentions towards me. If she lived, I would have died. At that time, I had just become a Yin Division Night Watch member and hadn\'t even experienced a Soul Qi infusion. If I didn\'t act, it wouldn\'t have been her who died, but me!" Yang Haoran\'s expression was full of grievance.

Deng Feng\'s brow furrowed even tighter as he listened. Yang Haoran continued, "I admit my actions were shameful, but I had no choice. If there were other options, I wouldn\'t have made such a decision. She died, and you can administer justice for her. But if I died, who would administer justice for me?"

Deng Feng\'s frown deepened. He looked at Yang Haoran with a dark expression and asked, "Why didn\'t you report this incident to me?"

"While Wang Qing\'s death is related to me, I didn\'t kill her. I always thought it was just an incident and didn\'t take it seriously, so I didn\'t report it to you," Yang Haoran explained.

"Hmph! Incident? Even if you didn\'t kill Wang Qing directly, if it weren\'t for you, she wouldn\'t have died. This matter might not be a big deal if it didn\'t reach the underworld, but if it reached ahead, it would be a different story. They would definitely send someone to investigate. If Wang Qing\'s true allegiance is revealed, not only would you be punished, but I would also be implicated!" Deng Feng scolded.

Yang Haoran fell silent. He didn\'t speak again. In this situation, what was deserved had to be faced, but what was not deserved, one must not. Not even a single word!

At this moment, he was like an employee who had made a mistake facing his boss, bowing his head, waiting for the boss to continue reprimanding him.

His face still showed anxiety and panic, but Yang Haoran felt relieved in his heart. Despite Deng Feng\'s severe scolding and angry expression, the intense killing intent he had felt earlier had disappeared.

From his experience, Deng Feng would definitely continue to reprimand him to vent his anger, but he shouldn\'t do anything too extreme.

He believed that Deng Feng\'s sudden anger was probably not just because of him, but mostly because of Xu Meijing!

The matter of Xu Meijing leaving must have made Deng Feng very angry. That\'s why Deng Feng had been wearing a grim expression and suppressing his anger earlier. Wang Qing\'s death had just ignited Deng Feng\'s anger, and it all poured onto him.

It was simple logic. If Wang Qing\'s death had truly enraged Deng Feng, he wouldn\'t have waited until now to address the issue. He probably would have personally confronted him long ago.

Yang Haoran had already thought about one thing: after Xu Meijing left, Deng Feng would definitely get angry, but he didn\'t know who would bear the brunt of it. He just prayed it wouldn\'t be him. But unfortunately, in the end, he became Deng Feng\'s punching bag.

Of course, he wasn\'t completely innocent. He wasn\'t the only Night Watch member. If Deng Feng didn\'t find others and instead found him, there must have been a reason for it.

Yang Haoran remained silent, but Deng Feng didn\'t stop. He continued to reprimand him with a face full of anger.

Yang Haoran didn\'t refute, nor did he counter. Instead, he obediently stood there, allowing Deng Feng to vent his anger, as if accepting the boss\'s reprimand.

It wasn\'t that Yang Haoran was being stubborn, but Deng Feng\'s status and power were there. If he wanted to achieve more and go further, he had to endure!

As long as it didn\'t cost him his life, a little humiliation meant nothing. There would be a day when he would rise above it all. If he couldn\'t bear even this slight injustice, how could he accomplish anything significant?
