No. 27 did not answer. He just stared at Lin Qiye in silence for a long time. After confirming that he did not seem to be lying, the cold and gloomy aura around him dissipated a little.

"Since you have no intention of rejecting the contract, come with me to find someone now." He said calmly.

Lin Qiye was startled. He looked at Cao Yuan, opened his mouth, and said apologetically:

"Master Shouzu, we have to leave the country now because we have something important to do... How about you wait for me for a few more days?"

He and Cao Yuan left the country just for An Qingyu. Now An Qingyu is in heaven and no one knows what the situation is. If he is directly taken away by No. 27 to find someone, it is unknown how long it will take for him to come back.

Hearing this, No. 27's eyes turned cold again.

"You...are you kidding me?"

In the gray mist, the black robe moved without wind, and part of No. 27's body turned into wisps of smoke. A sharp murderous intent was mixed in the air, surrounding Lin Qiye and the other person.

At the same time, a powerful aura from the peak of the Lord God suddenly descended!

Cao Yuan's body shook slightly, and his palm instantly pulled out the hilt of the knife with force. The surging black flames intertwined into his robe, and the murderous aura rushed into the sky!

"Stop!" Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. A hint of night appeared in his eyes. The darkness extended from under his feet. A pair of strong arms tightly grabbed Cao Yuan's figure that was about to fly out!

He grabbed the handle of the unsheathed straight knife with his palm and pressed the blade back forcefully!

The raging murderous flames poured into the sheath, and the blood color in Cao Yuan's eyes gradually faded. He turned to look at Lin Qiye, seeming a little puzzled.

Lin Qiye had witnessed No. 27's strength with his own eyes. Although he was no longer the hunter ancestor of the past, he was still a killer indiscriminately at the highest level. If he really took action, the two of them who had not yet become gods would probably not last more than thirty seconds.

“Senior Shouzu, this matter…” Lin Qiye began solemnly, but he froze in place halfway through his speech.

At some point, the figure of No. 27, which was originally dozens of meters away, had teleported in front of him. The fluttering black robe almost blocked his vision, and a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes were staring at him.

"The breath of the Dark Ancestor... Why do you have his complete essence in your body?"

“Origin?” Lin Qiye looked down at the darkness beneath his feet. “This is what the Dark Ancestor gave me.”

"He gave it to you?" No. 27 frowned under his hood. "He's a miser who haggles over even half a piece of the Guardian Stone... It's good enough that he didn't take the initiative to snatch your original Darkness Origin back, but he would take the initiative to return his complete Darkness Origin to you? How is this possible?"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, the corners of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly, "Actually...he originally wanted me to return it to him, but when I refused, he changed his mind."

No. 27 frowned, still unwilling to believe it.

After a moment of silence, he stretched out a hand and slowly touched Lin Qiye's brow...

Cao Yuan's face darkened and he quickly reached out to grab No. 27's wrist, but Lin Qiye stopped him with his hand and shook his head slightly.

Although Lin Qiye didn't know what No. 27 wanted to do, if he wanted to kill him, there was no need to use this method.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yuan silently put his hand back and looked at No. 27 with unfriendly eyes.

No. 27's fingertips lightly touched Lin Qiye's brow, and his eyes began to blur a little bit. After a few seconds, they focused again at an astonishing speed. He suddenly loosened his palm and looked at Lin Qiye with surprise.

"Senior Shouzu, what are you doing?"

No. 27's expression changed continuously. After a long time, he silently pulled down his hood to cover his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Nothing, I just wanted to see if that Dark Ancestor did anything to you..."

"Is there?"

"No."

"Senior Shouzu, this matter is indeed urgent, and it concerns the Ke system. I..."

"It's okay. You guys go do what you need to do first. Since I've been waiting for so many years, what's the harm in waiting a few more days?" No. 27 hesitated for a moment, then said, "Also, you don't have to call me Senior Shouzu from now on... Just call me No. 27 like before."

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up quickly, and he nodded immediately:

"Thank you very much, sir... Thank you for your understanding. I will come back to see you when I finish this."

“No need.” No. 27 said calmly, “It’s too troublesome to search all the time… Since what you are going to do will not take more than a few days, I will just stay with you, just like we did in Asgard.”

Lin Qiye was startled, and said with some hesitation, "This..."

"Don't worry. I am no longer injured in Asgard. If I conceal my aura within you, it will be impossible to be discovered unless someone at the highest level searches for me. I will not cause you any trouble."

"……All right."

Lin Qiye finally did not refuse, and No. 27's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared with Lin Qiye's breath.

When Cao Yuan saw this scene, his eyes were filled with surprise, but he didn't say much. After all, Lin Qiye now could be said to have "ears through his lungs".

After completely restraining his breath, Lin Qiye nodded to Cao Yuan and said, "Let's continue on our journey."

He picked up a wooden stick and threw it lightly at the somersault cloud...

…

Heaven.

"Are you still awake?"

Under the starlight, a ghostly white shadow floated out from the palace. Jiang Er's eyes fell on An Qingyu in the ancient pavilion and he spoke softly.

An Qingyu came back to his senses and smiled helplessly:

"I can't sleep."

Too many things happened in the past few days... No matter how good An Qingyu's mentality was, he couldn't remain calm when facing his identity and what was about to happen.

Jiang Er sighed softly and sat down beside him. "Actually, you don't have to think too much... No matter how long it is sealed, it is just a nap for you. Maybe in just a few years, we can eliminate all the gods of the K-type on Earth and find a way to prevent the revival of the [Key to the Gate]."

"It's not that easy..." An Qingyu smiled bitterly. He was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly fixed and he looked to his side.

About two meters away from him, time and space suddenly became violently disturbed, about the size of a fist. Several chess pieces on the table were attracted and drawn into it, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Another wave of Migos has arrived." An Qingyu sighed, "Lingbao Tianzun is right... During this period of time, I did feel that something was calling me across time and space. It should be the Gate of Truth."

"It's only been a day since we came here. They seem to be coming more frequently." Jiang Er was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how many Migos there are, they can't break through the Heavenly Palace... The Great Xia God should be almost ready. The sealing should be done in the next two days."

An Qingyu looked at the gradually dissipating disturbance in time and space and spoke slowly.
