What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

"Zhong Hui, how are you?"

As he was pondering, a voice rang out from behind him.

The members of the Floating Light Squad walked out of the residential area, with Altai supporting the still unconscious Cangxing.

Everyone gathered together, and looking at the chaotic and devastated scene before them, no one showed any surprise.

Yao Ri sighed softly, his face full of regret: "What a pity. According to the plan, you were facing the enemy head-on, while we were lying in ambush in the shadows. I even applied for reinforcements from headquarters, but I didn't expect that the enemy would not show up with any help this time."

The other team members were also filled with regret.

"Hurry up and notify the reinforcements to return the way they came, so they don't make a wasted trip," Altai said.

Yao Ri immediately made a phone call to explain the situation to the reinforcements and told them not to come.

A golden opportunity was wasted, resulting not only in failure to achieve the goal but also in significant economic losses.

Compared to the dejection of the others, Zhong Hui remained calm: "Things in this world are rarely as we wish, and besides, we did not come away empty-handed this time."

As he spoke, he held the jet-black gem between two fingers and gently waved it in front of everyone.

What is this?

Full of curiosity, Mu Yue reached out and took the gemstone. Upon closer inspection, she was immediately startled.

The black lacquer inside the gemstone surged and twisted like a living creature, baring its fangs and claws, constantly impacting the gemstone's surface, exuding an eerie and sinister aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"Zhong Hui, what is this?"

"The black aura here is so evil; just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

"Its appearance is different from the Seed of Lamentation, and its internal power is also completely different."

The others crowded closer to examine it, and after seeing the unusual phenomenon in the gemstone, they were all startled and asked a series of questions.

Zhong Hui's expression was serious as he explained in a deep voice, "This is something that fell after I killed Chen Shuhan, or what is known as the Young Divine Envoy. At first, I also thought it was a Seed of Sorrow, but when I touched it, the black energy inside instantly spread out, frantically eroding my mind and stirring up my greed, almost causing me to lose control."

"That terrifying?!"

Mu Yue was so frightened that she dared not take it anymore and quickly returned the dangerous gem to Zhong Hui.

“Don’t be so nervous. I have set up layers of seals, and these black energies cannot break free,” Zhong Hui said.

Yao Ri immediately made a decision: "We can't control the risks of this thing, and it's the first time we've seen it before. Send it back to headquarters for processing."

No one objected; they all agreed.

After dealing with the gemstone matter, Zhong Hui looked at Cang Xing, his eyes filled with worry: "Why hasn't she woken up yet? Could something have happened to her?"

"Don't worry, I've checked it carefully."

Mu Yue explained, "She just inhaled an overdose of anesthetic, and the magic power in her body is also frozen by some unknown force, which is why she is having trouble waking up. I have already cleansed her from the inside out, and she will wake up soon."

As a four-star healing-type magical girl, her words were quite persuasive.

Zhong Hui felt a little relieved. Upon hearing the words "magic solidification," he immediately recalled the magic-locking needle that the K1 Titan had used before.

Both possess a magic that can solidify the victim.

However, since the K1 Titan was created by an inside agent, it makes sense that the enemy possessed the same technology for imprisoning magic.

“Let’s go, let’s go, to avoid any unforeseen complications,” Yao Ri said. “I’ll take this gem to headquarters with Ying Qing right now.”

After saying that, she reached out and took the gem, preparing to teleport away with a glow.

Just as the two figures were about to merge into the light, the fluorescent light stopped the magic on its own and whispered, "It seems... there really is no one here."

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that our acting was too fake?" Yao Ri asked in confusion.

Mu Yue said, "Captain, your performance was indeed a bit exaggerated."

Altai wholeheartedly agreed: "Your tone and demeanor are practically telling people there's danger here, luring them into a trap."

"Never mind, never mind." Yao Ri waved his hand to comfort himself, "At least I got a special gem, so it's not a complete loss."

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent.

"Come out, the three of us will return to headquarters together."

A flash of cold light appeared, and a long sword pierced through the clouds and landed on the ground. A woman in white landed on the hilt of the sword, her white hair fluttering in the wind, her temperament aloof and otherworldly.

It was Xiao Henu, the person in charge of Jiangbei.

She glanced around at the wrecked scene and said softly, "I went through all that trouble to come and reinforce you, and this is what you mean by 'a big fish has taken the bait'?"

"You can't blame me for this." Yao Ri was extremely helpless and quickly shifted the blame. "Things are unpredictable. In the past, when their companions were in danger, someone would definitely come to their rescue. Who would have thought that they would change their ways this time and their companions would not appear until they died?"

Xiao Henu said no more.

After all, fishing is all about luck, and it's inevitable to miss out, not to mention it's not like you catch nothing at all.

After a brief exchange, the three of them gathered together.

After quickly giving instructions to Altai, Yao Ri immediately activated "Mutual Light and Dust," and the three of them instantly merged into the light and disappeared.

Altai handed Cangxing to Zhong Hui, saying, "I'm entrusting Cangxing to your care. I need to contact the municipal government to handle the follow-up work in this area."

The group's actions just now only protected the residential area; the rest of the area remained undefended. This was partly to lure the enemy in, and partly to prevent the young divine messenger from noticing anything amiss and escaping.

The intense battle between the two just now caused considerable damage to this area, with large sections of the road surface cracking and overturning, and groundwater constantly gushing out, leaving the area in ruins.

Zhong Hui nodded in agreement and turned to leave with Cang Xing.

"Wait for me, I'm coming too!"

Just as Muyue was about to follow, Altai grabbed her arm.

"You will stay behind to assist the police in handling the aftermath of the Fan Hua Xin Yu incident."

"Huh? Why me?"

"Is that even a question?" Altai said as if looking at an idiot. "The captain and Fluorescent went on a business trip to headquarters, Zhong will take care of Cangxing, and I have to handle the aftermath of the incident. Everyone has work to do, except you.

"Actually, I..."

Altai saw right through her thoughts and interrupted her directly: "Your reputation is terrible, you're a dangerous person. If you were left to look after Cangxing alone, you would definitely do something bad."

Mu Yue glared angrily, wanting to argue that she only had Zhong Hui in her heart.

Before she could speak, Altai said, "What if I tell the captain..."

"Enough said! Serving the people! Protecting the world! Eradicating evil! These are all things I should do!"

The twilight moon seemed to flee for its life, transforming into a rainbow and disappearing.

"Never serious."

Altai smiled and shook his head, then took out his phone to contact the government to handle the aftermath.

…………

Zhong Hui carried the unconscious Cang Xing on his back, walking slowly home, muttering complaints under his breath.

"You are too naive. If it weren't for my 500,000 years of experience, which allowed me to see through the enemy's schemes in advance, you might have already met your end there."

"The cultivation world has always been cruel, and kindness doesn't last long. Consider this a lesson learned. Remember this lesson well, otherwise, when I am gone in the future, there may not be anyone who can protect you."

He muttered to himself, then suddenly sighed, "By the way, you seem to have gained weight..."

Behind him, Cangxing's head rested quietly on his shoulder, a faint smile on her lips, as she listened quietly to his rambling.

Chapter 120 Circumstances

The world of God was ravaged by Cecilia's intrusion, which ignited an unprecedented war, leaving the entire world devastated and on the verge of collapse.

But now, the place has been restored to its original state, as if that devastating battle that tore the heavens and earth apart had never happened.

Inside the small house at the center of the divine realm, a soul gem, entirely black and riddled with cracks, floats before Otto.

This is the soul gem of the kite.

Just before the kite was on the verge of death, Otto, the ruler of this world, returned in time and stabilized the gem with his power comparable to that of a god, preventing it from shattering completely.

At this moment, he is still trying to repair the severely damaged gem.

Despite possessing the power to repair the entire world, he seemed so powerless when faced with a tiny gem.

No matter how much power he poured into it or how much authority he mobilized, the cracks in the gemstone never showed any sign of healing.

Damn it!

The prolonged setbacks had completely exhausted Otto's patience. He slammed his fist on the table filled with sophisticated instruments and roared at the gem, "Why do you have to defy me? I am your father! We are connected by blood! Why would you give up your life for an outsider? Your mother has already left me, and now you are abandoning me too?!"

It's always like this, always like this.

He was filled with despair. He clearly possessed the power to change the world, to end the endless cycle of despair, and to free everyone from suffering and bring them happiness, yet he couldn't save his wife and daughter.

During the catastrophe twelve years ago, his wife died, and her soul dissipated with her. Each time she was resurrected, she was just an empty body. Now, even the daughter he had managed to save with great difficulty could not be saved.

All of this is like sand in your palm; the harder you try to hold on, the faster it slips away.

After the extreme anger subsided, a surge of powerlessness overwhelmed Otto.

He slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant and lifeless, staring at the soul gem that was on the verge of shattering and destined to be irreparable.

He can reverse life and death, shake the rules of this world, and do anything he wants, but he cannot overcome the constraints of power. This means that he can never save those whose souls have dissipated or whose souls have been damaged.

After a long while, a kind of ambition called obsession slowly ignited deep within his lifeless and empty eyes.

"Why should I continue to follow the rules of this power? Once I become a true god, above a higher dimension, I can reverse life and death and achieve true control over everything."

At this thought, an even more outrageous plan quietly took shape in his mind.

"Dong dong!"

After a crisp knock, a gentle and pleasant female voice came from outside the door: "Boss, there's something unusual."

"Enter!"

The door was gently pushed open, and a petite girl slowly walked into the room.

She is also one of the witches, known as the Vocal Witch. She perished in the tsunami battle eight years ago and was only resurrected by Otto two days ago.

Unlike the other witches, she held Otto in great awe, keeping her head down and looking straight ahead with a respectful demeanor from the moment she entered.

Otto had already composed himself before anyone entered.
