Fog.

Under the chaotic gray sky, the turbulent sea roared like thunder, and a ball of dazzling golden light rapidly rose from the deep sea and flew to the surface.

As the golden light dissipated, seven figures stepped on a golden sword and floated in the rolling waves.

While controlling [Yao Guang], Baili Pangpang looked around:

"Qiye, where is the ship that Vice Captain Wu mentioned?"

"It should be around here." Lin Qiye closed his eyes, and his mental power quickly spread out, instantly covering the sea surface for several kilometers around.

After a moment, he opened his eyes in confusion.

"No? How could this happen..."

"The place where we got off the boat before is over there." Galan looked around and pointed in a direction.

Several people looked in the direction where she pointed, and there was nothing else except the endless sea.

"Perhaps the 'mystery' from the deep sea launched an attack and took away or destroyed the ship." An Qingyu guessed.

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully. He stretched out his hand and waved it lightly in the air. Endless clouds condensed out from nothingness and rolled up under everyone's feet.

"If there is no boat, we can only fly back by ourselves." Lin Qiye turned around and looked at everyone, "Does anyone know how to get back?"

"I know the general direction," Jia Lan said. "Although it may not be the same as the landing point designated by Deputy Captain Wu, it can also reach the border of Daxia."

Baili Pangpang shrugged, "It doesn't matter. As long as we can get to Daxia, it doesn't matter where we enter from."

"In that case, let's go."

Lin Qiye activated the [Somersault Cloud] under his body, carrying everyone's bodies and flying rapidly into the sky, and whizzed away in the direction indicated by Galan!

…

Daxia border.

The invisible wall stands above the sea, like a huge glass wall, blocking the rolling fog outside the border of Daxia.

On the inside of this invisible wall, above the endless sea, an incomparably huge black steel city is pressing down on the border like a mountain. It is like a sea pass separating Daxia from the foggy wall, silently guarding the border.

If Lin Qiye and others were here, they would be shocked to see this scene.

Before they left Daxia, this place was still a vast ocean. Not to mention the Steel City, there wasn't even a small place to stand.

In just two years, such a magnificent steel city was built on the sea at the border of Daxia. Judging from the area, this steel city is at least three times the size of Cangnan City. It is like a black pillar deeply chiseled into the border of Daxia, emitting a sinister black light in the sun.

On the outer wall of this steel city, a line of huge scarlet characters is engraved.

A-011: [Sinking Dragon]

This is Daxia's A-level war pass, numbered 011, codenamed "Shenlong Pass".

At this moment, on the steel wall of Shenlong Pass, a figure wearing a dark red cloak was holding a telescope, monitoring the foggy wall several kilometers away.

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

In the rolling fog, a blurry silhouette of a ship slowly sailed on the sea, passed through the invisible wall of fog, and entered the territory of Daxia. The silver-white hull cast a halo in the sun, and on the right side of the hull, a series of numbers were written.

"This is Point 6 of 'Shenlong Pass'. We have discovered a ship made in Daxia passing through the fog wall and heading here." The figure picked up the intercom and said, "The number is..."

"Received." The voice on the other end of the intercom paused for a moment, as if checking something, "Yes, that is our Night Watchman's ship, and it is allowed to enter the customs."

"yes."

Buzz rumble——!

On the rough sea, the black steel wall made a loud roar, and a heavy and huge city wall gate slowly rose up, leading the ship floating on the sea into Shenlong Pass.

After the ship entered Shenlong Pass, the city wall gate was closed again and the entire sea area fell into silence again.

The boat followed the artificial river all the way to the mooring place of Shenlong Pass. When it stopped automatically, three figures in dark red cloaks were already waiting on the shore.

"I am Lu Qiu, the former deputy captain of the 066th squad of the Daxia Night Watch. Please get off the ship and register to verify your identity." A man stepped forward and said to the ship.

The boat floated quietly on the river. No one came out and no one answered. It was dead silent.

Lu Qiu frowned and repeated, "Please get off the ship and register to verify your identity!"

There was still no movement on the boat.

Lu Qiu realized that something was wrong and immediately waved his hand. The other two night watchmen quickly jumped onto the deck from the shore and began searching inside the hull.

Two minutes later, they stood on the deck with confused looks on their faces.

"Brother Lu...is there no one on this boat?"

"No one?" Lu Qiu was stunned. He went on board and searched the ship himself. After confirming that there was no one in the entire ship, his face suddenly turned ugly.

There is no one on this boat...how did it get back to Daxia?

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then spoke decisively, "There's something wrong with this ship. Lock it up in Dock No. 3 and send experts to investigate. Xiao Jia, report this to headquarters, and be quick!"

"yes!"

No one noticed that in the reflection of the water under the hull, a figure in a silver robe flashed from the boat into Shenlong Pass like a ghost and disappeared.

…

Shangjing City.

"Did the ship Wu Xiangnan and his crew sail back to Shenlong Pass? Is there no one on board?"

When Zuo Qing heard the report, his brows immediately frowned.

"Yes, Commander Zuo."

In front of Zuo Qing's desk, a young man with a crew cut was holding a document and said seriously, "Shenlong Pass has already sent experts to investigate and study. After a thorough search of the traces left in the ship, they collected four different fingerprints.

One fingerprint came from Wu Xiangnan, one from Jia Lan, and the owners of the other two fingerprints could not be confirmed..."

"One of them should be the fingerprint left by the commissioner of Shangxie Society, but if that's the case...whose is the fourth fingerprint?" Zuo Qing pondered for a moment, "Are there any signs of 'mysterious' activities on the ship?"

"No." The crew-haired young man paused and said, "Commander Zuo, could it be that someone accidentally triggered the ship's autopilot system and left? So the ship followed the trajectory we had planned long ago and returned to Shenlong Pass?"

Zuo Qing tapped the tabletop with his knuckles, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Mo Yu, remember, we are the decision makers of the Night Watch. No matter what situation we face, we must prepare for the worst in advance...

How about this, let Guan Zai go to Shenlong Pass to see what happened. "
