"I'm curious."

On the flying Bugatti Veyron, Ye Fan tightly grasped the handle and turned to look at Jin Yi who was concentrating on driving, "Is your detonator real or fake?"

"Of course it's fake." Ji Nian glanced at him, "After the last bombing of the temple, the defense arrangements of the Sun City for the 'human circle' have increased several times, and it is difficult for us to infiltrate again... let alone bury so many explosives in it.

The last operation took us half a year, but this time it only took two days. How could we accomplish this?"

"So, you lied to them." Ye Fan nodded. "You were able to make these gods retreat without bloodshed. You are really amazing."

"This is called all is fair in war."

"Now that you're back, are you leaving again?"

Jinian's expression froze. She turned her head and looked at Ye Fan suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Ye Fan asked puzzledly.

"Don't talk to me in a tone that can easily lead to misunderstandings." Ji Nian grabbed the steering wheel and said faintly, "Your tone right now is just like the resentful male protagonist in a melodramatic romance movie..."

“…”

"Forget me, I won't date an uncle like you." Jinian thought for a moment and added.

“…Just shut up!”

Ye Fan was so angry that if the steering wheel was not in Ji Nian's hands, he would have wanted to draw his sword on the spot.

"Of course we have to go." Ji Nian continued the previous topic, "There are still many things to do overseas. The new envoy of the Shangxie Society still needs to be investigated. The exploration of the Cthulhu Mythos ruins has just begun. We are also about to plan the next terrorist attack against other kingdoms of God..."

"The next terrorist attack?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows. "Which kingdom of God is going to be in trouble again?"

"Takamagahara," Jinian replied calmly, "Takamagahara has done a very strict ecological protection for the 'human circle'. It is difficult for our people to infiltrate, but we are already preparing. If everything goes well, we can start the operation in a few months."

"After you've done all this, will you come back?"

"…There's something wrong with you, Ye Fan."

"I'm thinking about Da Xia." Ye Fan said seriously, "Da Xia's situation in the fog is very difficult now. If you can bring Shang Xie Hui back, I will feel much more relieved."

Ji Nian was silent for a long time and shook his head.

"No, Daxia is enough with you Night Watchmen. The return of Shangxie will only divide your power and make those diehards uneasy...

For crazy hyenas like us, the wilderness is a better place than home.

Besides, I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet…”

"It's been ten years, and you still haven't found it?" Ye Fan frowned slightly, "What are you looking for?"

Ji Nian quietly held the steering wheel and looked out the window. Her silver hair gently fell on her shoulders. A hint of sadness and nostalgia flashed across her clear eyes.

She didn't answer.

…

East China Sea, fog.

Lin Qiye and others stood on the edge of the broken city, looking at the vast sea shrouded in fog ahead through the layer of Fengdu laws that were flickering with faint light.

A few minutes ago, the cold divine power that suddenly appeared left here for some reason and flew into the territory of Daxia.

Although Lin Qiye and others didn't know what the foreign god was planning, since he had broken into Da Xia, there would naturally be other people to deal with him, and they couldn't intervene in this matter now.

Now, the most important thing for them is to send this city back home.

"It should be not far from the border of Daxia."

An Qingyu looked down at the densely packed calculation formulas written on the road and said.

In the fog, they had no means of determining directions, and their only reference points were the sea water beneath their feet and the islands that appeared from time to time. It was a huge task to deduce their current location.

"At this distance, there should be no other gods coming to stop us, right?" Baili Pangpang asked tentatively.

"It should be gone." Cao Yuan nodded.

"Finally, I'm going home. This fog is so dangerous..."

"After all, it is a life restricted zone. If nothing unexpected happens after this time, we probably won't set foot in it again."

"...Can you please not set up such a dangerous FG? I am already scared."

“I don’t believe in those illusory things.”

“…”

Several members of the Night Squad sat together with Chen Han and Lu Yu, chatting about something. Lin Qiye held his heart covered by the night in his hands, sat quietly on the roof, gazing into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something and his eyes narrowed slightly.

A moment later, he jumped down from the roof and landed directly next to everyone.

"Qiye, what's wrong? Have you seen the mainland?" Baili Pangpang asked excitedly.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly and shook his head, "No... I saw someone standing on the sea in front of me."

"Someone is standing there?" An Qingyu seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be Commander Ye?"

When they came out of the fasting house, Ye Fan was walking on the sea to find them. It was hard not to associate him with the appearance of such a figure on the border of Daxia at this time.

“No.” Lin Qiye shook his head firmly. “There was a small boat under his feet, but I couldn’t see what it looked like because the distance was too far.”

boat?

Everyone looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

The good news is that those gods probably wouldn't stand on the sea on a small boat. They would usually choose other more sophisticated ways of moving. The bad news is...

It is impossible for a normal person to pedal a boat in the fog!

Is there something wrong with this person?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye handed the heart in his hand to Chen Han and solemnly instructed:

"Let's go take a look. You two stay here and protect Senior Sword Saint's heart!"

Chen Han took the heart, worry flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much and nodded heavily.

"Let's go."

Lin Qiye held Zhanbai in his hand, stepped on the [Somersault Cloud], and flew out of the Fengdu Law with other members and crashed into the fog.

After crossing the vast sea, everyone finally saw the figure that Lin Qiye had mentioned.

In the misty fog, above the rough sea, a small boat floats quietly on the water like a rock. No matter how the waves stir it, it does not shake or tremble at all.

On this small boat, a figure was sitting hunched over, coughing softly.

He was wearing a grey cloak and had a long sword on his waist. His dry silver-white hair fluttered gently in the mist. Every time he coughed, a scarlet bloodstain would be left on his palm. He sounded extremely old.

Bang--!

Suddenly, a cloud of blood burst out from his shoulder.

After the blood mist dissipated, it turned into white threads that disappeared into the air...

But the next moment, the time around him twisted violently, and the white silk that had originally dissipated returned again, condensed into a ball of blood mist, and replenished into his body.

Everything seemed as if it had never happened.

"Cough cough cough..." His coughing became more and more intense!

"That is..." Lin Qiye looked at the familiar figure, his pupils shrinking slightly.

In the fog, the hunched figure sitting in the boat slowly raised his head.

On his face, he wore a familiar mask.

On the mask, there was a word written in black font.

--king.
