Realm of the Night God

Chapter 209: Regaining Freedom



The passive Soul Enchantment was triggered. If successful, it could not only win Zhong Siyu's favor but also earn her trust – a favorable outcome. However, failure would result in a backlash, a less desirable situation.

Facing Deng Feng earlier, the Soul Enchantment was passively triggered once, but it didn't succeed. The consequence was a few spouts of blood and a temporarily weakened body.

Now, if a similar situation occurred, it was uncertain how it would unfold. If Zhong Siyu took advantage of the failed Soul Enchantment to strike, it could complicate matters.

While the Soul Enchantment was potent, its sole drawback was the lack of control for practitioners. Its activation was purely a matter of luck. Yang Haoran couldn't help but worry due to the inability to manipulate it.

However, Yang Haoran's concerns were alleviated as the situation unfolded. The feared failure did not happen. Zhong Siyu's passively triggered Soul Enchantment was surprisingly successful!

For Yang Haoran, the successful activation of the Soul Enchantment was a tremendous advantage. With this premise, Zhong Siyu wouldn't be on constant guard, would extend more trust, and the level of caution would diminish.

"Uncle, though you may not be the most handsome person, your presence is quite pleasant. I hope you won't disappoint me. Tonight, whether I can leave this cursed place depends on your help."

Zhong Siyu smirked, her gaze towards Yang Haoran showing a noticeable change from before. It wasn't overly intimate, but at least the previous icy chill was absent.

Yang Haoran had modest requests, and Zhong Siyu's changing perception of him was satisfactory.

"Just tell me what to do, and I will fully cooperate."

Yang Haoran didn't let his inner joy reflect on his face; his smile remained unchanged.

"I just need to approach the edge of the seal, and it will activate automatically. Then, we join forces to forcibly break the seal. Once the seal is gone, I can leave and truly regain my freedom!" Zhong Siyu grinned.

Yang Haoran nodded, indicating his understanding. Despite Zhong Siyu's seemingly simple explanation, if breaking the formation were as easy as she claimed, she wouldn't need his assistance.

With Yang Haoran's affirmative response, Zhong Siyu wasted no time and flew towards the ghost building's exterior!

The previous battle had turned the area into ruins, and the rusty gate was no exception.

Even though it was in ruins, the location of the ghost building's exit could still be discerned.

As Zhong Siyu approached the former location of the iron gate, a powerful force suddenly erupted. A massive Death Mark Seal appeared in the sky.

With the appearance of the Death Mark Seal, an invisible wall seemed to materialize in front of Zhong Siyu, preventing her from leaving the ghost building.

"Uncle! Break the Death Mark Seal in the sky! Everything is caused by that Death Mark Seal!" Zhong Siyu's reminder came as she had already launched an attack on the Death Mark Seal, and intense Yin Qi struck it directly.

The Death Mark Seal trembled slightly. It seemed that breaking Deng Feng's seal with Zhong Siyu's current strength alone was impossible, as she had truthfully stated. If she wanted to break the seal and leave, she indeed needed Yang Haoran's assistance.

Yang Haoran had no intention of deceiving Zhong Siyu. As her plea for help echoed, the Moon Wheel, floating beside him, suddenly soared into the sky, becoming the same size as the Death Mark Seal!

The massive Moon Wheel sparkled with a cold light under the moonlight. Despite its unassuming appearance, it now emitted a terrifying power!

This power surge was much stronger than when dealing with Duda's spirit summoning Hundred Ghost Devouring Soul.

Clearly, he hadn't exerted his full strength against Duda. Whether he was now fully activating the Moon Wheel, only he knew.

"Move aside a bit!"

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Yang Haoran warned Zhong Siyu. His move was potent, and without a warning, she might think he intended to harm her. That would complicate things.

Zhong Siyu naturally sensed the terrifying power emanating from the Moon Wheel. At Yang Haoran's reminder, she swiftly moved and appeared beside him. In his eyes, standing next to Yang Haoran was undoubtedly the safest position.

Although her soul had shifted, Zhong Siyu didn't stop her attack on the Death Mark Seal in the sky!

Hum!

A buzzing sound echoed from the Moon Wheel. Then, the Moon Wheel disappeared with a flash of black light. In the next moment, it reappeared behind the Death Mark Seal!

There was no deafening roar, only the sound of something being cut. Subsequently, the Death Mark Seal lit up with a straight line of white light, and it instantly split in two.

Snap!

The Death Mark Seal in the sky shattered, turning into specks of Yin Qi that dissipated. Zhong Siyu's smirk froze momentarily, evidently surprised by the power of Yang Haoran's strike.

However, Zhong Siyu was no ordinary minion. After a brief moment of shock, she quickly recovered and looked at Yang Haoran with a hint of admiration.

In the past, her malevolent spirit's eyes showed nothing but madness, bloodlust, and resentment. This admiring look was something that would never have appeared in her eyes before.

Yet, not only did it appear now, but what was more frightening was that Zhong Siyu, the person in question, didn't feel anything amiss. In her eyes, everything seemed normal.

"Uncle, not bad at all. I underestimated you. It seems the benefits you gained this time are far beyond my imagination!" Zhong Siyu looked at Yang Haoran, grinning.

Yang Haoran just smiled and didn't offer any explanation on the matter. After looking at the location of the former iron gate, he signaled Zhong Siyu with a glance.

Understanding Yang Haoran's intention, Zhong Siyu, wearing a wicked smile, once again flew towards the entrance of the ghost building!

This time, Zhong Siyu encountered no resistance and easily flew out from the former location of the iron gate!

After Zhong Siyu's soul left the ghost building, she stopped and her wicked smile turned into a frenzied one. Distorted laughter echoed from her mouth as her soul hovered in the air like a bird!

The joy of regaining freedom made Zhong Siyu forget who she was for a moment. Apart from the maniacal laughter, she couldn't think of any other way to express the joy in her heart.

Watching Zhong Siyu release her inner joy through mad laughter, Yang Haoran didn't disturb her. Instead, he focused on sensing the blood-red eyeball within his body!

This blood-red eyeball was still absorbing the Yin Qi and blood essence released by several Death Mark Seals. Besides the eyeball, Yang Haoran himself was also absorbing them. His body absorbed the blood essence released by the Death Mark Seals, while his Death Mark Seal absorbed the Yin Qi.

Now, the Death Mark Seal on his forehead no longer belonged to Deng Feng. From the moment Deng Feng's soul scattered, the connection between Yang Haoran's Death Mark Seal and Deng Feng was severed.

Even if Deng Feng didn't die, when Yang Haoran opened the Heaven Soul, the Death Mark Seal planted by Deng Feng would become Yang Haoran's power seed. It would no longer have any connection with Deng Feng. Currently, the Death Mark Seal on his forehead belonged solely to Yang Haoran.

With his body and the blood-red eyeball absorbing a vast amount of Yin Qi and blood essence, Yang Haoran's current condition wasn't as dire as before. The main reason was that, after opening his soul, he utilized some Yin spirit power to suppress several Death Mark Seals within his body, slowing down their release of Yin Qi and blood essence.

Otherwise, even with his Heaven Soul open, the internal situation would still be quite precarious.

Currently, he shifted his focus to the blood-red eyeball within his body, hoping to find a way to force it out.

Recalling how he had forced the soul-scattering needle out earlier, now with an additional blood-red eyeball willingly swallowed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.
