The three Spirit Police officers were visibly shocked. They couldn't believe that Deputy Captain Zhou, whom they always respected, would actually make a move against Wang Yiming!

As fellow Spirit Police officers, they usually had a good relationship, having experienced life and death together many times. They had a deep bond, so they couldn't fathom Deputy Captain Zhou's motives for attacking Wang Yiming.

Wanting to rush towards Wang Yiming to provide aid, the three were stopped in their tracks as Deputy Captain Zhou shouted sternly, "Stay put! Don't move!"

Two of the Spirit Police officers hesitated and stopped, struggling with conflicting emotions written on their faces. However, one Spirit Police officer, who happened to be close friends with Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong, ignored Deputy Captain Zhou's command and charged towards Wang Yiming.

Seeing this disobedience, Deputy Captain Zhou's expression changed. He cursed and was about to take action, but someone else acted even faster – Xiao Tong, supporting Wang Yiming, intervened.

Xiao Tong threw Wang Yiming to the ground, abandoning the concern he had shown moments ago. He then forcefully ripped a piece of bloody sternum from his own chest and stabbed at the approaching Spirit Police.

The target was the heart, just like Xiao Tong's own heart!

The Spirit Police trio was stunned, especially the one charging towards Wang Yiming. He was dumbfounded, trying to stop his movements but realizing it was too late.

As the sternum was about to pierce his heart, a black chain materialized out of thin air, resembling a whip, lashing fiercely at Xiao Tong's hand. It sent the sternum flying.

Simultaneously, Wang Yiming, who had been stabbed in the chest, stood up straight from the ground. Instead of covering his bleeding wound, he forced one hand into it, just like Xiao Tong, and forcibly ripped out a piece of sternum to use as a weapon.

His target, like Xiao Tong's, was the closest Spirit Police officer.

However, as Wang Yiming's sternum approached, another black chain materialized out of nowhere. It not only sent the sternum flying but also bound both Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong securely.

These black chains, formed from Yin spirit power, were undoubtedly Yang Haoran's doing. This technique was unique to the Yin Division, and apart from him, there were no other Yin Division members present.

Bound by the black chains, Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong struggled violently, emitting inhuman roars. Their faces were now filled with ferocity and madness, a stark contrast to their previous selves.

The current situation left the three Spirit Police officers completely stunned. The series of events that unfolded in this short time carried significant information, making their heads spin.

Ignoring the trio, Deputy Captain Zhou approached Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong, speaking coldly, "That Wang Yiming always wears a stern expression. Unlike you, he's practically beaming."

"And you, Xiao Tong, although not a chatterbox, you're lively. Unlike you, who's like a dull oil bottle."

"Your illusion technique is decent, but in my eyes, it's just average. Not seamless; there are flaws. If I were you, I'd create different illusions for each person, making them turn against each other, rather than setting up a uniform illusion."

"Of course, even if you set up a uniform illusion, it can only confuse my three incompetent subordinates."

Having reached this point, if the three Spirit Police officers still hadn't grasped the situation, it would be laughable. At this moment, they exchanged glances, each reading shock in the others' eyes.

It turned out that all of this was an illusion, and they had been unknowingly immersed in it!

Especially the Spirit Police officer who had charged at Wang Yiming; he now wore a terrified expression, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. If it weren't for Yang Haoran's timely intervention, he might have been close to death by now.

"Divine envoy Yang, thank you for your help just now."

This Spirit Police officer regained his composure, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and expressing gratitude to Yang Haoran. Yang Haoran smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, just now... I apologize; I..."

Deputy Captain Zhou, still coldly watching Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong, turned around upon hearing the Spirit Police officer's apology and looked at him.

"We're all brothers; I understand that emotions can run high. No need for apologies, and besides, now is not the time for such words," Deputy Captain Zhou spoke as he shifted his gaze back to Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong.

"Not removing the illusion voluntarily? Fine. I'll set you two puppets ablaze with a burst of fire. Let's see what tricks you can play then!"

With a cold snort, Deputy Captain Zhou took out a talisman.

Though Yang Haoran wasn't proficient in drawing talismans, he had a good understanding of them. Deputy Captain Zhou held a regular fire talisman, one that even someone unfamiliar with talisman arts could use. When thrown at a target, the fire talisman would ignite, burning hotter than gasoline. It was not only high in temperature but also challenging to extinguish.

Just as Deputy Captain Zhou was about to unleash the fire talisman, Yang Haoran intervened.

"Wait!"

Interrupted by Yang Haoran, Deputy Captain Zhou's hand hesitated, and he looked at Yang Haoran with a puzzled expression.

"Divine envoy Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Haoran wore a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "If you burn them, you'll regret it. Haven't you noticed? When I intervened just now, I didn't go all out on them. I merely broke the bones in their hands. Why do you think I did that?"

Deputy Captain Zhou's expression changed, and he seemed to realize something. He asked Yang Haoran, "Do they have some secrets on them?"

Yang Haoran didn't immediately answer Deputy Captain Zhou's question. Under the skeptical gaze of Deputy Captain Zhou, he activated his ghost eye.

As the ghost eye opened, Yang Haoran's smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. Then, he uttered a low shout, "Break!"

The space vibrated, and the area where they stood suddenly shattered, like glass struck by a powerful force, turning into fragments and disappearing.

The black water pool remained, as did the sturdy trees, dense grass, and even the stones on the ground. Nothing seemed to have changed.

However, the bloodstains on the ground, the fresh blood on Deputy Captain Zhou's body – all vanished.

Moreover, the chained Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong underwent a significant transformation.

They were no longer the same individuals; they had completely transformed into two different people.

Yet, when Deputy Captain Zhou and the others saw the appearance of these two individuals, their expressions froze for a moment.

In the next instant, all four reacted, revealing sorrowful expressions on their faces.

The three Spirit Police officers who came here for the mission today were dead. The two individuals now bound by the chain were the two Spirit Police officers!

However, they were surrounded by Yin Qi, devoid of any signs of life, lacking personal thoughts, and had become controlled puppets.

The wounds on their chests were still there, but instead of spurting fresh blood, only a trickle of blood flowed.

Yang Haoran recognized these two Spirit Police officers. In the half-year of working together with the Spirit Police, they had attended many gatherings, and Yang Haoran had participated in each one. Therefore, he was familiar with the faces of every Spirit Police officer.

Recognizing them, Yang Haoran refrained from inflicting severe harm on the two and stopped Deputy Captain Zhou from burning their bodies.

When they fell under the illusion earlier, Yang Haoran was more aware than anyone present. It was precisely for this reason that he didn't react to Wang Yiming and Xiao Tong's appearance. He didn't immediately dispel the illusion because he wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.

However, Deputy Captain Zhou's swift actions accelerated the pace. Seeing the Spirit Police officers in danger, Yang Haoran couldn't let them continue. Hence, he forcibly dispelled the illusion to make everyone understand the situation.
