Lin Ye buried himself in a mountain of documents, his brows furrowed. He was troubled by the strange events in Green Vine City. Although the Northern Profound Immortal Master had killed the seventh-order monster, the aftermath was even more complicated than killing the monster. The city's reconstruction, casualties, and the work of appeasing the masses were making him feel overwhelmed.
"Sigh, when will this end?" He couldn't help but sigh. The Xia Kingdom was like a sieve riddled with holes, constantly invaded by strange creatures. The people were living in dire straits, and no one could be sure if they would see the sun rise tomorrow. Even though the Northern Mystic Immortal Master was patching things up everywhere and constantly saving people, it was only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
Whenever this happens, Lin Ye would take out a photo of his master and look at it. As the captain, he had too many things weighing on his mind that he could not tell anyone. He could not confide in anyone, because the weakness of the leader would cause the people below to lose confidence.
He could only confide in his master, the man he had once idolized.
He looked at the young man in the photo and murmured to himself, "Master, what should I do to rid the Xia Kingdom of this strange invasion?"
Just then, a calm voice rang out in the room.
"Lin Ye".
Lin Ye was startled: "Who is it!?"
How could someone possibly break through the headquarters' layers of security and get to the side of me, the strongest person in the Xia Kingdom, without ever making a sound?!
His muscles tensed instantly, and he entered a battle state, his eyes fixed on the intruder as if facing a formidable enemy.
Looking at the young man with black hair, black clothes, and black eyes in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you doing at headquarters?"
The visitor was none other than Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly as he watched Lin Ye's tense expression, because Lin Ye seemed to completely disregard him.
Lin Ye's hand had already reached for the short sword at his waist, ready to strike. He was very confident in his abilities. No matter how peculiar the man's abilities were, as long as he got within seven steps, he could sever the man's lifeline with a single strike and kill him instantly.
With his ability to fight between life and death, he even killed a seventh-tier monster that was above his level.
In the Xia Kingdom, apart from the unfathomable Northern Mystic Immortal Master, no one could withstand a single strike from him.
"No matter who you are, trespassing on the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau is a serious crime. State your purpose!" Lin Ye said coldly.
"A hundred years have passed, and you've even forgotten your own master?"
Lin Ye was slightly taken aback, then his expression grew even colder: "This joke is not funny at all. It seems you are my master's enemy."
Were the memories also altered?
Fang Xiu's calm eyes grew even deeper. He was somewhat curious about the extent to which Lin Ye's memories had been altered: "Does Mirror Ghost still remember?"
Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted: "You actually know about things from a hundred years ago. It seems you really are from the same era as my master."
Who is your master?
"Hmph! You know perfectly well what I'm asking. My master is none other than the former captain—Fang Moli!"
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Fang Xiu slowly approached Lin Ye and finally stopped in front of his desk.
Lin Ye's body tensed even more as he silently estimated the distance. This distance... was enough!
However, the sneak attack he had imagined did not happen. Instead, the other party's gaze fell on the photos on the desk.
Fang Xiu saw the person in the photo. He was wearing the uniform of a captain, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His gaze was calm and his expression was indifferent. It was Fang Moli.
Upon witnessing this scene, he realized what had happened in the real world. His existence had been completely erased from the real world. Fang Moli becoming Lin Ye's master must be due to the automatic correction of fate.
He had seen this method used on Zhou Qingfeng before. Back then, Zhou Qingfeng's photo in Qingshan Mental Hospital disappeared automatically, which meant that his existence had been erased.
However, because Zhou Qingfeng's strength was not enough, he was unable to completely erase his existence from the river of fate.
Having been given the power of destiny, he now naturally has a clearer understanding of this method.
Could it be... that Zhou Qingfeng is plotting this in secret?
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't do it before, but now that he's a demigod, he might be able to completely erase a person's existence from the river of fate.
Just as Fang Xiu was pondering, a cold glint flashed in Lin Ye's eyes. A good opportunity!
The power of the Life and Death Line activated instantly, and the short sword in his hand was drawn like a ghost. But the next moment, he froze on the spot, his pupils dilated, staring at Fang Xiu in disbelief. He swung the sword halfway, but couldn't swing it any further.
Because, in his sight, Fang Xiu's body... had no death line!
This discovery instantly plunged him into an ice cave, sending chills down his spine. He knew that the more powerful a being was, the fewer death lines it would have. Only when the difference between the two sides was too great would he be unable to see the death lines on the target's body.
Even when facing a seventh-order anomaly, he could still see the death lines on its body. Now, he has only encountered a situation where he cannot see the death lines once, and that was when he met the Northern Profound Immortal Master.
Could it be that... this person is on the same level as the Northern Mystic Immortal Master?
For a moment, Lin Ye's heart was filled with shock and his body stiffened, not daring to move.
Fang Xiu glanced calmly at the stiff Lin Ye, knowing that the other had long since lost all memory of him, so he asked directly, "Where is Bei Xuan?"
Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to answer. Faced with an unfathomable enemy, reason told him not to disobey. He was not afraid of death, but he could not die now.
"I don't know where Master Beixuan is either. His whereabouts are unpredictable. After resolving the strange incident in Green Vine City, he disappeared. Perhaps he went to travel in the mortal world, or perhaps he went into seclusion."
Gone?
Just as Fang Xiu was preparing to use his own methods to search for Bei Xuan's whereabouts, a sudden change occurred.
Awooo!
A deafening dragon roar resounded, filled with boundless grief and indignation.
This is indeed the mighty Dragon City!
The unfamiliar divine power fluctuations he had sensed earlier were now spreading faintly.
The next moment, the earth shook violently, and the entire Xia Kingdom trembled violently, accompanied by countless cries of alarm.
"What's going on?!" Lin Ye was shocked and looked into the distance in horror.
A layer of gray mist rose from the distant horizon, sweeping towards the Xia Kingdom like ocean waves.
Fang Xiu's gaze pierced through layers of void, finally landing on the ten-thousand-foot-tall golden dragon coiling above the Xia Kingdom. At this moment, the ten-thousand-foot-tall golden dragon was covered in blood, its scales falling off and turning into specks of light rain.
Countless strange creatures pounced on the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, tearing and biting wildly.
The golden dragon resisted desperately, but it seemed to have suffered a severe injury earlier and was powerless to turn the tide, only able to let out mournful cries.
"Wanli Dragon City is about to be destroyed!?" Lin Ye was horrified. He knew very well what the appearance of gray fog in Xia Kingdom meant. It meant that Wanli Dragon City could no longer hold on, and Xia Kingdom was about to be destroyed.
At that moment, he could no longer care about Fang Xiu. He rushed out of the office and shouted urgently, "All Spirit Masters! Come with me to the rescue!!"
