Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Lin Ze and Lin Qiye really do end up together, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give Hongying a separate table at the banquet.

Her role was truly invaluable.

Because in the current situation, both Lin Ze and Lin Qiye are quite shy.

It's a situation where both parties know what the other is thinking, but neither dares to say it or do it.

If we take relationships on campus as an example, their relationship is like mutual unrequited love.

They both know how the other feels, but neither of them says it.

If things continue like this, their final outcome will definitely not be good.

Of course, this is a metaphor.

Therefore, Hongying played a significant role in the relationship between the two of them.

It acts as a catalyst.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze blushed. He wanted to run away, but if he just left like this, wouldn't they laugh at him?

Make them feel like a man who is unwilling to take responsibility.

Lin Ze asked in a low voice, "Um... do the two of us... need any special rituals?"

Hongying replied dismissively, "Of course, newlyweds should have their relatives and friends witness their wedding."

"Invite everyone to a banquet, and that way, everyone will know the relationship between you."

Lin Ze continued, forcing a smile, "Well... I think that even if I don't treat everyone to a meal, everyone already knows about our relationship."

Hongying smiled and exchanged glances with the others.

They all nodded with knowing looks, saying, "Mmm~"

"Indeed, we all know about your relationship with Qiye."

Lin Ze tried to explain to them that there was nothing between him and Qi Ye, but he felt that the more he explained, the more confused he became.

Lin Ze desperately tried to prove their innocence.

The others were desperately trying to tell Lin Ze that they were not innocent.

Lin Ze wanted to explain to them, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

To borrow a famous saying, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that you can't change no matter how hard you try.

They've already decided on this relationship, so it's unlikely to change.

Therefore, the more Lin Ze explains, the more confused things become.

Let's just not say anything at all.

"Ugh, you people just love to make wild guesses."

"Alright, we can't argue with you anymore, we're leaving."

Lin Ze thought to himself, 'Damn, he guessed right!'

"us?"

"Who are you taking with you?"

Hongying suddenly spoke up and asked.

The person Lin Ze was referring to was clearly An Qingyu.

This was unexpected. They had assumed that Lin Ze had returned to Cangnan City to talk to them about Zhao Kongcheng.

"Yes, I came back this time for two things."

"One thing is to take An Qingyu away, and the other is to explain Lao Zhao's matter to you."

Hongying nodded. "I see."

"Lin Ze, I didn't expect you to have a second one so soon."

"Does Nanaya know about this?"

Without hesitation, Lin Ze replied, "Qi Ye is still unconscious, so of course he wouldn't know."

Hongying looked at him with disdain, "Oh~ so you've come here to steal someone away. You just wait, I'm going to tell Qiye."

The moment he said those words, Lin Ze sensed something was wrong.

But by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Hongying has misunderstood her, and there may even be more serious consequences.

He was going to tell Qiye about this!

The key point is that she didn't cheat on him at all; it wasn't like what she imagined.

Hongying looked at An Qingyu and asked, "An Qingyu, do you know you're the third one?"

An Qingyu replied with a smile, "Is it too late to know now?"

"Don't worry, I would never do anything to break up someone else's family."

"If necessary, I will join you in the campaign against Lin Ze."

Hongying smiled and patted An Qingyu on the shoulder, "Well done, you're sensible."

"I know this isn't your fault, it's all Lin Ze's fault."

Lin Ze was speechless.

Honestly, this was the first time he had ever felt so helpless.

Hongying's mouth is really sharp; you simply can't out-argue her.

If I can't win an argument, can't I at least avoid it?

When Qiye wakes up, I'll have someone backing me up. Let's see what you all say about me then!

Now that I can't argue with them, can't I at least avoid them?

Then, Lin Ze turned around and left with An Qingyu.

Watching their figures disappear, Hongying chuckled softly.

Leng Xuan and the others beside him all gave him a thumbs up.

"Hongying, it has to be you again."

"We're probably no match for him militarily, so we can only rely on you now."

"But speaking of which, Captain, why didn't you teach that kid a lesson?"

"Don't tell me you can't beat him."

"Even if we can't beat them, we can't just give up without even trying. It's just a matter of getting a little injured. Lin Ze won't make a mistake."

Chen Muyi sighed. "Injured?"

"I don't know whether to say you underestimate Lin Ze or overestimate me."

"If I insist on sparring with him, it won't just be a matter of getting injured."

"People really can die!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

They knew that Lin Ze was very strong.

But the captain who just broke through to the Sea Realm is also very strong!

But the captain actually said that sparring with Lin Ze would cost him his life?!

Has Lin Ze's strength reached the point where he can easily kill a Sea Realm cultivator?

Leng Xuan asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Captain... why did Lin Ze try to kill you? Aren't we teammates?"

"Besides, we don't have any hatred between us."

Chen Muye chuckled lightly, "You think when I said 'dying,' I meant Lin Ze was going to kill me?"

"Then you've misunderstood."

"What I mean is, if we spar, and Lin Ze deliberately lowers his strength, I also risk death."

"In other words, he's now terrifyingly strong!"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the team members immediately dilated.

At first, they thought that Lin Ze's strength was enough to kill a Sea Realm cultivator when using his full power, which was already enough to shock them.

But after hearing what Chen Muye said, they felt that Lin Ze could kill Hai Jing as easily as kicking a stray dog ​​to death on the roadside.

Lin Ze: It's not that difficult.

Seeing Chen Muyi's serious expression, everyone knew that this was no joke.

Lin Ze really has that ability!

Even now, Chen Muyi feels a chill run down his spine when he recalls that scene.

When Lin Ze's Black Impermanence appeared, Chen Muye felt as if he were already in the underworld, about to be taken away at any moment.

This was only because I also possessed the Black Impermanence Forbidden Ruins, and had become somewhat familiar with it.

If it were someone else, this experience would probably be even more profound...

.....

.....

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Huaihai City.

At this moment, the 007 Watchman squad is on a special mission in the suburbs.

"Captain, is it really necessary to send so many people on such a small mission?"

"This level of mystery is something I can handle on my own."

The man asked, looking puzzled.

He didn't know why the captain had gone to such lengths to call everyone together for this mission.

Because the cities they guard are quite special, with top-tier urban development, skilled residents, and military equipment allocation.

Therefore, the Night Watch squad stationed in this city is very strong.

They are individuals who could easily stand on their own.

Moreover, if promising talents emerge from the training camp, they are sent to the Night Watch squads.

Aside from those geniuses with extraordinary talent who displayed outstanding abilities as soon as they entered the Night Watch system and joined special squads.

Basically, every member of a special squad needs to spend some time in one of their Night Watch squads before they can join a special squad.

Every year, a steady stream of blood is drawn in, which is why the 006 to 010 Watch squads have remained strong for so long.

All the exceptionally talented geniuses have been sent here. Even if you wanted to decline, the higher-ups wouldn't allow it.

This year, yet another prodigy has been sent here.

This person is Cao Yuan.

"We called you here to hold a ceremony for the newcomer, to let him complete his first kill."

"When we guided him through the missions before, he didn't lift a finger, which suggests he might have some psychological issues."

"But anyone sent here is a coward. If we help him through his mindset, this kid might become a great asset to our team!"

After hearing the captain's explanation, everyone understood.

Come to think of it, it's true; the new recruits have been in their team for a while now.

I always take him on missions, but I've never seen him actually do anything.

Not even once.

This made the other team members start to doubt Cao Yuan's strength, wondering if he was really as good as the legends said.

"Captain, is this kid the legendary Forbidden Ruins No. 031, 'Black King Annihilation'?"

"Is this forbidden realm really that powerful?"

"If he's really that strong, then why haven't we seen this kid make a move? Not even once."

"Could this be a scam?"

The captain of Night Watch Squad 007 shook his head. "No, that's what the report says."

"This is something that absolutely cannot be faked."

"All powerful forbidden realms have strong limitations, and the limitation of Cao Yuan's forbidden realm is that he loses his mind and cannot distinguish friend from foe after using his ability."

"I think that's why he hasn't taken action yet."

The man chuckled softly, "Can't you distinguish friend from foe?"

"What's the big deal? What? Can't a few of us old guys handle a newbie?"

Turning to Cao Yuan, he said, "Cao Yuan, this mission requires us to face a mysterious being at the peak of the River Realm, who is about to enter the Sea Realm."

"We will not participate in this operation."

"Find a solution yourself."

"Of course, if you are not capable of solving it, we certainly won't stand idly by. You can do it with confidence."

"Don't think we're bullying newcomers. Each of us needs to complete a mystery mission independently."

"We mostly dealt with maritime cases back then. Considering you're new, we'll let you handle a river case. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

With that, the man snapped his fingers, and the mystery that needed to be dealt with appeared before Cao Yuan.

Its skin is rough like charred volcanic rock, a mixture of dark red and burnt brown. A pair of huge, spiraling, sharp-pointed ram horns sit atop its head, covered with fine cracks that shimmer with faint veins of magma.

It opened its blood-red maw as if it were about to swallow Cao Yuan whole.

But now it's like a wild dog in shackles, no matter how hard it pounces, it can't move an inch.

The man behind Cao Yuan asked, "How's it going? Are you ready?"

Cao Yuan looked at the mysterious figure before him expressionlessly and said calmly, "It will be very troublesome."

The man looked at the frail, mysterious figure before him and chuckled dismissively. "Are you kidding me?"

"What trouble could there be with a mysterious place in Sichuan?"

"Are you even capable? A man can't say he can't."

Cao Yuan continued, "What I mean is, you're going to be in trouble." Cao Yuan's eyes swept over the group of them. "You probably can't stop me. I'm worried I'll hurt you."

After hearing Cao Yuan's words, the members of the 007 Night Watch team were stunned for a few seconds.

Even if one of the members of the special team said that, they wouldn't agree with it, let alone a newcomer!

The man was both angry and amused. "Go ahead and use your strength!"

"If you really hurt or kill us, it's because we're not as skilled, and we accept it!"

"We saw your performance in the training camp. You used the Black King quite a few times there. What? They could subdue you, but we can't?"

Cao Yuan reminisced about his time at the training camp.

With Lin Ze around, he has never lost control.

The master was right after all. He does have a benefactor in Cangnan City, and it's a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

"To be precise, it wasn't them, it was him."

"he?"

"Who is it?"

"Lin Ze".

"Lin Ze? I don't think he's one of the instructors. Oh, right, he's just an unknown newcomer."

After Lin Ze participated in that battle of gods, his information was blocked.

Ordinary Night's Watch members would have no way of finding any information about him.

The man thought more and more that Cao Yuan was bragging. What? A newcomer can stop you, but we can't?

So he said impatiently, "Go, go, go, let's get started."

"They're so pretentious, I wonder who they learned it from."

Cao Yuan: Cao Yuan (mentor Lin Ze).

At this moment, the shackles that had bound the mystery had disappeared.

His long-suppressed bestial nature was finally unleashed, and he opened his blood-red maw and pounced on Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan stood there quietly, holding the Star Blade engraved with his name, watching the mystery slowly close in on him.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling these past two days.

Just two days ago, all the marks Lin Ze had left on him disappeared.

"I'll take some time off after I've resolved this matter."

"Go check on what happened to Brother Ze."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yuan drew the Star Blade from its sheath.

In an instant, a murderous aura enveloped Cao Yuan!

The Black King is annihilated!
