Chapter 4

There's More Than One Guardian [御史不止一个 Yù Shǐ Bù Zhǐ Yī Gè] is the fourth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
The chapter opens with Yan Wen and Wang Shengli in a room within a high-rise building, looking out a glass window that shows the city. Yan Wen comments that times are changing and the world is collapsing due to humans invading the night that once belonged to monsters and demons. She then questions Wang Shengli if the previous generation of guardians could have handled such a crisis. Wang remarks that times are indeed difficult, but adds that a new hope should come with a new age, and that the new generation's Nightwatcher has already made his appearance.

Back to Ye Yan and Pang Dali, Ye Yan prepares to subjugate the bear monster. An exposition of how Flag Demons are created is then show, explaining that Flag Demons are monsters whose bodies were converted into mist and absorbed into Demon Flags along with their souls, preventing them from ever reincarnating and forcing them to serve under Nightwatchers for eternity. Ye Yan's Flag Demons attempt to persuade Pang Dali by saying following Ye Yan will yield great prospects. Pang Dali distracts the Flag Demons by lying that an old lady has fallen behind them and makes his escape, barging past two people and a car. A little girl stands in his way as he flees, causing him to attack her. However, Huang Xiaoyan arrives in time to intercept his claw with her sword, protecting the girl. Huang Xiaoyan opens her Heaven Eye and prepares to slay the bear monster, which terrifies him even more. Pang Dali pleads to the heavens for a chance to live, remarking that he is surrounded by an Untitled Sage, who are known for brutally murdering monsters and destroying their souls, and a Nightwatcher who can enslave him forever.
