Jiuhua Mountain.

Buddhist music lingers and sandalwood incense fills the air.

A figure wearing a dark red cloak and a straight knife on his waist climbed up the straight stone slabs, step by step towards the Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain shrouded in Sanskrit sounds.

He stepped onto the last stone slab and slowly stopped.

In front of the ancient and magnificent temple, Ye Fan stood in silence for a long time, but finally took a step and walked into the temple.

"Ye Fan."

Zuo Qing, who had been waiting in the temple for a long time, saw Ye Fan and stood up from the steps in front of the hall with a frown on his face.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Fan raised his hand to stop him and asked calmly:

"Have you brought all the things?"

Zuo Qing's lips trembled slightly, and after a moment, he nodded, "I brought it..."

"My master shouldn't have come out of seclusion yet, right?"

"Master Jinchan is still repairing the origin of the Heavenly Palace and is not here."

"good."

Ye Fan nodded, stared at the Buddha statue in the hall, took a deep breath, and said slowly:

"Close the mountain. No one... is allowed to enter."

"Ye Fan, I think... even if you want to do this, you can wait a little longer!" Zuo Qing couldn't help but say.

Ye Fan shook his head, "I can't wait any longer. After becoming a Daoist, my soul will be absorbed into the laws and become one with the laws of the world... According to calculations, from the time my soul begins to merge into the laws to the time it completely falls into them, this process will only take 24 hours at most.

By now, Zhou Ping's soul should have been devoured by nearly three quarters. If it is delayed any further, he will never come back."

Ye Fan turned his head and looked towards the center of the hall, at the black heart and the [Dragon Elephant Sword] quietly stored in the black coffin, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Guan Zai is right. I owe Zhou Ping too much. Now... it's time to repay him."

Zuo Qing frowned, he knew that he couldn't stop Ye Fan today. After struggling for a long time, he could only close his eyes and sigh helplessly.

"Zuo Qing, from today on, you know what to do." Ye Fan reached out his hand, patted the frowning Zuo Qing's shoulder, and smiled slightly, "If I can do it, you can do it too... I believe in you."

"I... will try my best." Zuo Qing forced a bitter smile.

Ye Fan took a step forward, stepped onto the steps in front of the temple, crossed the threshold, and walked straight into the Buddhist temple.

With a low creaking sound, the door of the Buddhist temple slowly closed. The dark red figure stopped in front of the black coffin, raised his head and faced the many magnificent Buddha statues in the center of the temple, and his back gradually disappeared through the crack of the door...

Bang--!

After a dull bang, the Buddhist temple was completely closed.

This temple on the top of Mount Jiuhua eventually fell into deathly silence.

Zuo Qing stared at the closed door for a long time, shook his head, walked to the last stone step in front of the temple, and slowly sat down.

He stared at the floating white clouds in front of him and the towering mountains under his feet, lost in thought.

…

Inside the Buddhist temple.

Ye Fan shifted his gaze from the many Buddha statues and looked at the black coffin in front of him. Inside the coffin lay the heart wrapped in the night and the ancient [Dragon Elephant Sword].

On the top of the coffin, there is a string of dull ancient Buddhist beads. There are some fine cracks on the surface of the beads. These lines are intertwined with each other, secretly matching the trajectory of some avenue, which is extremely mysterious.

Ye Fan didn't know how Lin Qiye had preserved Zhou Ping's heart, nor did he know what Lin Qiye meant by giving Zhou Ping the possibility of resurrection. If Lin Qiye were here, he would definitely ask him...

Unfortunately, the entire Fifth Special Team has disappeared.

Ye Fan didn't know the purpose of this heart, but that didn't stop him from carrying out his original plan...

At this moment, six paths of mysterious yellow energy condensed from nothingness and transformed into six figures emitting light golden light, standing inside the Buddhist temple.

Seeing these six figures, Ye Fan was startled at first, then spoke respectfully:

"Junior Ye Fan, greets Champion Marquis, Lord Gongyang, Commander Nie, Commander Li, Commander Tang, Wang Si... Sister Wang."

Seeing Wang Qing raise her eyebrows, Ye Fan immediately reacted and changed his words to call her sister.

Hearing Ye Fan change his words, Wang Qing's eyes suddenly narrowed into crescents with a smile. She turned her head to look at the other people around her and said:

"How is it? The junior I chose is pretty good, right?"

Wang Qing is the fourth commander-in-chief of the Night Watch. When Ye Fan was still an ordinary Night Watcher, she was already the ceiling of the human race. After Ye Fan rose all the way to become a senior member of the Night Watch, she was Ye Fan's direct superior, just like Ye Fan and Zuo Qing now.

To her, Ye Fan was indeed a lovely junior.

Although the other heroes knew Ye Fan, they had never seen him before. After all, they had been dormant in the country's destiny for many years. If Ye Fan had not sent people to wake them up this time, they would not have appeared in the world.

Huo Qubing stared at Ye Fan for a moment and nodded slightly, "Not bad."

Gong Yangwan saw the string of Buddhist beads on the coffin, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "[Life-changing beads]? You actually found this thing?"

“This is what I found that year.”

Tang Yusheng, who was standing nearby in a white shirt, suddenly said, "More than 20 years ago, when we were exploring an underground ruin in the southern mountains, we found this legendary forbidden object. Since then, it has been sealed in the Night's Watch headquarters and has never been used."

Wang Qing nodded, "I was also involved at that time."

Huo Qubing squinted at the string of Buddhist beads and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"During the Ming Dynasty, there was a young monk who possessed an unprecedented power called [Fate Buddha], which allowed him to spy on, tamper with, twist, or graft the thread of fate to a certain extent..." Gong Yangwan explained.

"In later generations, when we made the forbidden ruins sequence list, we named it sequence 007, the second royal ruins, [Fateful Buddha]." Tang Yusheng added.

"This monk was extremely talented, but because he tampered with the fate of others too many times, his own fate fell into an uncontrollable vortex of destruction, and due to some unknown reasons, he eventually died." Gong Yangwan continued, "After his death, his disciples cremated his body, and part of the power of [Fate Buddha] contained in his body condensed into beads, which became a forbidden item, and this string of [Life-changing Beads]."

After listening to this, Huo Qubing nodded.

"Xiao Yefan, what do you want to do with this thing?" Wang Qing asked puzzledly.

Ye Fan was silent for a moment, "Save people."

Gong Yangwan frowned slightly. "Although this forbidden item is powerful, fate itself cannot be easily changed. The monk's fate is the best explanation... Even if you have this forbidden item, you still need to pay a price if you want to tamper with your fate."

"I know." Ye Fan raised his head, looked at them, and said calmly, "So, I will use my life... to exchange for his life."
