Chapter 576 – Figures in the Mist
”I’m curious.”
On the flying Bugatti Veyron, Ye Fan clutched the handle with a death grip and turned his head to look at Memorial who was focused on driving, “That detonator of yours, is it real or fake?”
”Of course it’s fake.” Memorial glanced at him, “After blowing up the temple last time, Sun City’s defense arrangement for the ‘Circle of Man’ has increased by several times, and it’s hard for us to infiltrate …… again, let alone plant so many explosives inside.
The last operation took us a full half a year, and this time it’s only two days, so how could we possibly make it this far?”
”So, you’re lying to them.” Ye Fan nodded, “Soldiers can make these gods retreat without bloodshed, so true.”
”It’s called a soldier never tires of deception.”
”You’re coming back this time, are you still leaving?”
Remembrance’s expression froze as she turned her head and gave Ye Fan a suspicious look.
”What’s wrong?” Ye Fan asked suspiciously.
”Don’t talk to me in such a tone that can easily make others misunderstand.” Memorial gripped the steering wheel and spoke quietly, “The tone you’re using right now is just like the sultry male lead in a dog-blooded romance movie ……”
”……”
”Forget about me, I won’t fall in love with an uncle like you.” Memorial thought about it and added.
”…… Just shut up!”
Ye Fan was furious, if it wasn’t for the fact that the steering wheel was now in Memorial’s hands, he would have wanted to pull out a knife on the spot.
”Of course we have to go.” Memorial continued what he had just said, “There are still a lot of things going on overseas, the newly promoted envoys of the Upper Evil Society still need to be examined, the exploration of the Cthulhu Mythological Ruins has only just begun, and there’s also the imminent need to plan for the next terrorist attack against the other godly countries ……”
”The next terrorist attack?” Ye Fan’s eyebrows raised, “Which god country is going to be unlucky again?”
”High Heavenly Plains.” Remembrance replied indifferently, “High Heavenly Plains has done a very tight job of ecological protection for the ‘human circle’, it’s hard for our manpower to infiltrate, but it’s already in the process of being prepared, and if things go well, we’ll be able to launch the operation in a few more months.”
”After doing that, will you come back?”
”…… You’re not right, Ye Fan.”
”I’m thinking about Da Xia.” Ye Fan said seriously, “Right now, Da Xia’s situation in the mist is very difficult, so if you can come back with the Upper Evil Society, I’ll feel a lot more at ease.”
Memorial was silent for a long time and shook his head.
”No, Da Xia has enough with you Night Watchmen, the return of the Upper Evil Society will only divide your power, and it will also make those stubborn factions upset ……
For hyenas like us who act crazy, the wilderness is a better place to call home than home.
Besides, what I’m looking for, I haven’t found yet ……”
”It’s been ten years and you still haven’t found it?” Ye Fan frowned slightly, “What exactly are you looking for?”
Remembrance quietly gripped the steering wheel and looked out the car window, her silver hair gently falling over her shoulders, and a faint wisp of sadness and nostalgia flashed through those clear eyes ……
She did not answer.
East Sea, Misty.
Lin Qiye and the others stood at the edge of the shattered city, looking through the layer of Fengdu Laws that shimmered with an ethereal light at the pale sea in front of them that was shrouded in mist.
A few minutes ago, the shadowy divine force that had suddenly appeared had somehow left this place on its own and flew into Grand Xia’s territory.
Although Lin Qiye and the others didn’t know what that outer god had in mind, since he had broken into the Grand Xia on his own, there would naturally be other people to clean him up, and the current ones couldn’t intervene in this matter yet.
Right now, the most important thing for them was to send this city home.
”It shouldn’t be far from the Great Xia border.”
An Qingyu looked down at the densely written calculation formulas on the road and said.
In the mist, they had no means of discerning direction, and even the reference points were only the seawater under their feet and the islands that appeared from time to time, trying to deduce where they were now was a vast project.
”At this distance, there shouldn’t be any other gods to stop us, right?” Baili Fatty asked tentatively.
”There shouldn’t be any.” Cao Yuan nodded.
”It’s finally time to go home, this mist is really dangerous ……”
”After all, it is a forbidden area of life, after this time, if there are no accidents, we shouldn’t set foot in it again.”
”……Can you not set up such a dangerous flag?Little master I have already started to be afraid.”
”I don’t believe in those nebulous things.”
”……”
Several members of the Night Shade Squad sat with Chen Han and Lu Yu, chatting about something with one mouth and not the other, while Lin Qiye clasped his hands around the heart that was covered by the night color and sat quietly on the roof of the building, gazing into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, as if he saw something, his eyes narrowed slightly.
A moment later, he leapt down from the roof of the building and landed directly beside the crowd.
”Seven Nights, what’s wrong? Did you see the continent?” Baili Chubby asked excitedly.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly and shook his head, “No…… I saw the sea in front of me, it seems like there is a person standing.”
”Standing person?” An Qingyu looked like she thought of something, “Could it be Commander Ye?”
When they first came out of the fasting house, Ye Fan was stepping on the sea to find them, and at this time when such a silhouette appeared at the border of Daxia, it was hard for people not to associate it with him.
”Unlike.” Lin Qiye shook his head with certainty, “Under his feet, he stepped on a small boat, but what exactly it looks like is too far away for me to see.”
A small boat?
The crowd glanced at each other, all seeing the look of doubt in each other’s eyes.
The good news was that those gods shouldn’t be so bad as to step on a small boat and stand on the surface of the sea, they usually chose other more forced ways of moving, the bad news was that ……
It was also impossible for a normal person to step on a small boat in the mist!
This person has a problem?
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before handing over the heart he was holding in his hands to Chen Han and solemnly admonished:
”We’ll go and take a look, you two stay here and make sure to protect Sword Saint senior’s heart!”
Chen Han received the heart, a look of worry surfaced in her eyes, but she still didn’t say anything more and nodded heavily.
”Let’s go.”
Lin Qiye held Zhanbai and stepped on the [Somersault Cloud] as he flew out of the Fengdu Law with the other members and crashed into the mist.
Through the misty sea, before the eyes of the crowd, they finally saw the figure that Lin Qiye had spoken of.
In the midst of the mist, on top of the choppy sea, a flat boat floated quietly on top of the water like a rock, and no matter how much the waves stirred, it didn’t shake or quake in the slightest.
On top of this flat boat, a figure was sitting hunched over, coughing gently.
He was clad in a gray cloak, with a long sword at his waist, his dry silver-white hair fluttering gently in the mist, and with every cough he made, a scarlet bloodstain would be left behind between his palms, sounding pale and old.
Bang–!
Suddenly, a cloud of blood mist exploded from his shoulder.
After this blood mist collapsed, it turned into a white thread and dissipated into the air ……
However, in the next moment, the time around him violently distorted, and the white threads that had originally dissipated returned once again, condensing into a blood mist that replenished into his body.
Everything, as if it had never happened.
”Cough cough cough ……” His coughing voice became more and more violent!
”That’s ……” Lin Qiye’s pupils contracted slightly as he looked at this familiar figure.
In the mist, this figure sitting hunched in a small boat slowly raised his head.
On his face, he wore a familiar mask.
On the mask, in black script, a single word was written.King.
