A golden light fell from the sky and landed on the Letan Mountains, transforming into the figures of five people.

"I'm back..." An Qingyu looked around with the black coffin on his back and sighed, looking a little regretful.

"What? Haven't you stayed in Heaven long enough?" Lin Qiye said with a smile.

"Give me a little more time, and I should be able to build the spiritual energy model faster. Now that I'm back in the mortal world and have no reference, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to calculate the model manually."

“…”

Lin Qiye ignored An Qingyu's complaints, identified the direction, and was about to leave when a crisp phone call suddenly rang.

Lin Qiye subconsciously touched his body, then he remembered that his cell phone was still in Yaochi. He looked in the direction where the voice came from. An Qingyu took out his cell phone and answered the call:

"Hello?"

“…”

"Well, I'm An Qingyu."

“…”

"Okay, I understand."

An Qingyu hung up the phone.

"Who is it?"

"It's the headquarters." An Qingyu answered truthfully, "They told us to go to the headquarters before we leave. Commander Zuo has something to tell us."

"Does he know where we're going?"

Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. Strictly speaking, the [Nightfall] team belonged to the Night Watch in the mortal world, and even the Heavenly Court had no right to mobilize them directly. Since the Heavenly Lord had directly asked them to follow Michael to get things, he had probably already contacted Commander Zuo.

"Okay, let's go for a walk then."

In the city, Lin Qiye and others were unable to use their abilities, and Michael's spatial flashing seemed a bit too ostentatious. After hesitating, Shen Qingzhu stretched out his hand and pointed to the taxi parked on the roadside not far away.

"We can drive that one." Shen Qingzhu said, "That car is now owned by Baili."

After listening to the explanations of An Qingyu and others, Lin Qiye did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. He quickly got into the car and sat in the driver's seat. An Qingyu and Shen Qingzhu sat in the back seat at the same time. They put the coffin into the trunk, leaving only the passenger seat for Michael.

At this moment, Michael was standing alone next to the taxi, staring at the door in front of him, motionless, as if he was thinking about how to use this thing.

"Get in the car." Seeing Michael standing outside the door without moving, Lin Qiye spoke again to remind him.

Michael pondered for a moment, then imitated the actions of Lin Qiye and others, grabbed the door handle and pulled it gently.

Swish——!

He tore the entire car door open and held it in his hand.

Michael seemed to realize that his process was different from that of Lin Qiye and others. He frowned, sat in the passenger seat with an expressionless face, and with a flash of golden light in his right hand holding the car door, the door was restored to its original state.

"Let's go." Michael said lightly.

The mountain breeze blew through the open car window, and the three people in the car opened their mouths in shock...

…

An hour later, the vehicle stopped at the gate of the Night Watch headquarters.

Lin Qiye got out of the car, led everyone to the office of the Night Watch Commander-in-Chief, and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Zuo Qing's voice came from behind the door, and Lin Qiye pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Lin Qiye and others coming in, Zuo Qing, who was reviewing documents, raised his eyebrows. When his eyes fell on the last blond figure and met those furnace-like eyes, his heart trembled and he quickly looked away.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Michael's brow, and nodded slightly:

"welcome."

Lin Qiye and the others knew clearly in their hearts that these two words were definitely not spoken to them, so they did not speak. After a while, Michael behind them said "hmm" lightly.

Zuo Qing heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Qiye, "How is your recovery?"

"It's no big deal." Lin Qiye said with a smile.

Zuo Qing nodded. "For the matter of the National Guardian Monument, it's all thanks to you. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise the Night's Watch would have lost another great general... In view of your performance this time, you will definitely get a personal Star Sea Medal. The relevant procedures are still being processed, and there should be results soon. However, time is tight now, so let's talk about business first."

Zuo Qing took out a document from his desk, placed it on the table, and looked serious:

"Regarding your mission this time, the Heavenly Court has already contacted the headquarters, and I will personally issue it to you next. However, some details of the mission involve mythological secrets, and even I and the gods of Daxia are not clear about the details. You may have to ask that person for the specifics."

Lin Qiye and others followed Zuo Qing's gaze and looked at Michael who was standing at the back in silence.

"Let me briefly explain. Your mission this time is to follow this person to retrieve an item." Zuo Qing said slowly, "This item is called the Ark of the Covenant."

"Ark of the Covenant?" Hearing the name, Lin Qiye asked in surprise, "Is it a cabinet?"

"Maybe. We don't know what its body looks like." Zuo Qing glanced at Michael again and continued, "However, this thing carries the secret treasure left by Yelande, the creator god of the Western Holy Church. It is rumored to be hidden in the Holy Kingdom of the Western Holy Church. Your goal is to bring it back intact."

Yelland?

Hearing these three words, Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly thought of the sixth patient he had just released.

The mission this time is to find the secret treasure he left behind?

"I understand." Lin Qiye nodded.

Although no one knows what the so-called "Ark of the Covenant" looks like, nor where it is, since it is a thing of the Western Holy Church, Michael should know it best. With him leading the way, it should not be difficult to find that thing.

"Besides that, there is one more thing." Zuo Qing spoke again, "This matter has nothing to do with the Great Xia God, but it is closely related to Great Xia..."

Zuo Qing paused and continued, "I hope that when you enter the mist this time, you can find Zhou Ping's whereabouts."

"Sword Saint Senior?!"

Everyone present, except Michael, widened their eyes.

"What's wrong with him?"

"After you disappeared from the fog, Zhou Ping left Daxia to look for you." Zuo Qing sat back in his office chair and spoke helplessly.

"In the beginning, he came back once a year. In the first year, he went to Asgard, but didn't find you. In the second year, he went to Egypt's Sun City, but didn't find you either... Calculating the time, it has been more than half a year since he came back this year. You have already come back, but you still haven't seen him.

I guess he must have encountered something in the fog.

Now that the full-scale war of gods has begun, the fog is full of dangers and chaos. If he stays overseas, I am afraid something bad will happen... Among us Night Watchmen, only you [Nightfall] have the ability to walk freely in the fog. Only you can find him and bring him back."
