Aizen's words were like a pebble, stirring up ripples in Lin Yi's once calm heart.

Ghosts? What ghosts?

A call? What's going on here?

What secrets does the Forgotten City hold?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil of doubt churning in his heart, and then turned to everyone and said, "Cheer up, everyone. We'll take turns keeping watch tonight, and tomorrow... we'll go into the maze."

The owl was so angry that it jumped up like a lit firecracker.

He swept all the documents on his desk onto the floor with a "whoosh".

His so-called experts suffered a crushing defeat, and he also lost valuable intelligence about the Forgotten City. This was an absolute disgrace to him!

"A bunch of trash! All of you are trash!" he roared, his eyes burning red.

"Boss, we've got word that Lin Yi seems particularly interested in the most crucial intelligence about the Forgotten City." A skinny, shifty-eyed subordinate cautiously reported to Night Owl.

Night Owl suddenly raised his head, a sinister smile on his face. "Interested? Fine, let him be interested to his heart's content!" In this way, a particularly vicious plan popped into his head.

He planned to set a trap so that Lin Yi would never be able to get out!

At that moment, Lin Yi's terminal flashed, and an anonymous message appeared before his eyes: Core intelligence of the Forgotten City, hurry to xx coordinates.

This news came so suddenly and so coincidentally.

Lin Yi's lips curled up into a cold smile. Anyone could see through this clumsy trap, right?

"Boss, this news..." Long Wu scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, "It looks like a trap!"

Chu Yao nodded in agreement and projected the data analysis results. "The source of the message is unclear, and the transmission path is highly encrypted, but it ultimately points to Night Owl's territory. There's a 99.99% chance it's a trap."

"Hmm, Night Owl is quite the cunning fellow." Lin Yi fiddled with the ring on his hand.

The place where the owl set the trap was a desolate canyon, full of strangely shaped rocks, with a chilling wind blowing incessantly.

The owl stood on high ground, looking down at the entrance to the canyon, a sinister smile on its face.

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, you're still too green!"

Lin Yi and his group entered the canyon. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

"Boss, this place is creepy, something just doesn't feel right!" Long Wu hunched his shoulders and looked around nervously.

"Hehe, we've finally got you guys!" Night Owl's voice came from all directions, and suddenly a lot of people popped out from behind the rocks on both sides of the canyon, surrounding Lin Yi and his group completely.

"Charge!" Night Owl gave the order, and the ambushing enemies swarmed forward, flashing with all sorts of skill lights, like colorful fireworks, illuminating the entire canyon.

"Hmph, is that all you've got?" Lin Yi chuckled dismissively.

"Time-space stealth!" Lin Yi whispered, and he vanished in an instant.

At the same time, Whitebeard, Aizen, and Ryugo all used their own abilities to conceal their auras.

Night Owl's men were caught off guard and looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"What happened? Where did everyone go?" Night Owl's expression changed, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

Just then, a huge spacetime vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the canyon, and the energy inside surged out like crazy, instantly engulfing the entire canyon.

"Space-Time Storm!" Lin Yi's voice seemed to drift from the distant sky, carrying a terrifying majesty.

The violent spatial and temporal forces raged and crashed everywhere, and Night Owl's men were like leaves in a storm, blown to pieces and screaming incessantly.

Whitebeard shouted, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupted instantly. The earth shook violently, and cracks appeared everywhere. The enemies were swallowed up by these cracks.

Aizen wielded his Zanpakuto, unleashing streaks of eerie blue light that resembled the scythe of death, taking the lives of his enemies one by one.

Long Wu transformed into a giant golden dragon, churning and roaring through the canyon. Wherever it went, the enemies scattered like mice before a cat.

Night Owl watched helplessly as his men were slaughtered, his face turning ashen with rage. "Damn it! How could this be?!"

Lin Yi's figure slowly appeared in front of Night Owl, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Night Owl, it's time for your game to end."

Night Owl was furious, his eyes gleaming with madness. "Lin Yi, do you think you can defeat me like this? I..."

Lin Yi completely ignored Night Owl's shouts and focused his eyes on Whitebeard.

Whitebeard immediately understood, and with a "whoosh," he flashed to Night Owl's side, grabbed Night Owl by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Boss, what should we do with this kid?" the white-bearded man asked gruffly.

"Keep him alive, he'll be useful." Lin Yi's eyes caught sight of a trembling subordinate behind Night Owl, and he called out, "You, come here!"

The subordinate walked up to Lin Yi, trembling, "M-Sir, what...what are your orders?"

Lin Yi's lips curled up into a cold smile, his eyes sharp as knives. "Tell me, what secrets does the 'Forgotten City' hold..." The battle in the canyon was a one-sided massacre.

Night Owl's henchmen were as fragile as paper in front of Lin Yi's team, which seemed to have cheat codes.

Whitebeard's punch shook the ground several times, leaving the henchmen dizzy and disoriented, crying and screaming.

Aizen, on the other hand, is like that "Death God Elementary School Student," wielding his Zanpakuto as if he were performing an art piece. With a flash of light, enemies fall down in droves.

That guy Long Wu has become incredibly arrogant ever since he awakened his "True Dragon Bloodline".

The dragon was shimmering with golden light. It exhaled a breath of dragon breath, which instantly cleared the surrounding area, just like clearing a screen.

Just as things were getting chaotic and messy, Lin Yi noticed a henchman next to Night Owl, who was trembling with fear.

Judging by his appearance, he's definitely an easy target.

Lin Yi glanced at him, and the henchman's legs immediately went weak. He knelt down with a thud and begged for mercy. Then, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, he blurted out all the information about the "Forgotten City".

Hey, so it turns out the "Forgotten City" isn't just an ancient ruin; it's also a crucial place connecting to another dimension.

No wonder that old geezer Night Owl was so nervous.

Seeing that his carefully laid trap had become Lin Yi's intelligence-gathering spot, Night Owl was so angry that his face turned pale and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lin Yi! You just wait! We'll settle this score slowly!" Night Owl roared through gritted teeth, his eyes looking as if he wanted to devour Lin Yi alive.

He suddenly turned around, tearing open a spatial rift with a "whoosh," and then vanished in a flash, leaving only a sentence floating in the canyon: "Still want to enter the 'Forgotten City'? Hmph, keep dreaming!"
