Chapter 1155 Return to Beijing

“Is it a fighter jet from Daxia?”

Upon seeing these planes, Ji Nian immediately relaxed, returning all pixels to their original positions, and shouted to the Shangxie Society members on the ship:

“They’re our people! Everyone stay calm, don’t activate any weapon modules.”

All Shangxie Society members immediately stopped what they were doing and shut down all alarms on the ship, leaving only a giant pixel cruise ship floating on the sea.

Lin Qiye watched the planes streaking across the sky and looked around thoughtfully. “They came so quickly? So this is what a war garrison looks like at full capacity…”

“Based on the geographical location, these planes should be from [Shanhaiguan],” An Qingyu nodded.

“[Shanhaiguan]? What’s that?”

Ji Nian asked in confusion.

“One of the twelve war garrisons Daxia prepared for the full-scale divine war.”

Lin Qiye explained briefly, and curiosity appeared in Ji Nian’s eyes. “Daxia has set up something like this? Interesting…”

“Do you need me to hack into their systems to identify ourselves?” Jiang Er, floating in mid-air, asked softly.

“No… doing that would make them think we’re enemies,” An Qingyu shook his head.

“Then what should we do? To them, the Shangxie Society’s ship is completely an unknown entity from the mist. They won’t let us leave easily.”

“Leave it to me.”

Lin Qiye said calmly, pushing out the hilt of [Zhanbai] with his thumb. The blade was imbued with a touch of night color as he slashed toward the sky.

Ka—!

[Zhanbai] returned to its sheath.

“What are you doing?” Ji Nian raised an eyebrow.

Lin Qiye didn’t answer, but in the next moment, beneath the azure clouds, a massive black arc appeared. Two sword marks intersected to form the [Nightfall] team’s emblem, branded like a seal in the sky above the circling aircraft.

“What is that thing…”

In one of the circling fighter jets, the pilot saw the black mark overhead, his eyes filled with confusion.

“It’s the [Nightfall] team’s emblem. They’ve returned from overseas,” a voice came through the channel. “Commander Zuo has also sent word that these are our people. Return to the garrison.”

“Number 4, you stay behind to guide them in.”

“Received.”

The fighter jets circling in the sky simultaneously changed direction and roared away toward the horizon, leaving only one aircraft flying in the sky.

“Follow that plane,” Lin Qiye said, as if understanding something, pointing at the aircraft.

The massive cruise ship started moving again, cutting through the blue waves, following the direction of the departing plane at full speed.

Before long, a silhouette like a continuous mountain range slowly appeared at the end of the horizon.

Ji Nian stood at the bow, her silver hair dancing in the wind. She raised the pixel binoculars in her hand, “Is that [Shanhaiguan]?”

“Yes.”

“Looks quite magnificent, has a sci-fi movie feel to it,” Ji Nian remarked.

She reached out and lightly brushed her dazzling silver hair, which visibly turned jet black at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging like a waterfall down to her thighs.

“Your hair can change color?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise. “I thought your silver hair this time was newly dyed…”

“No, silver is my natural hair color. It’s a family trait,” Ji Nian shrugged. “But sometimes, hair that stands out isn’t a good thing, so I usually turn it black when I’m on missions or facing many people.”

“Your family’s genes must be truly powerful.”

Lin Qiye remarked.

As the pixel cruise ship approached, the towering steel walls at the center of Shanhaiguan gradually opened, revealing a wide waterway before them.

After entering Shanhaiguan’s outer wall, the cruise ship followed the guidance lights and stopped at the largest ship docking point between the inner and outer walls. A figure riding an electric scooter wobbled over from the inner wall.

“Senior Lu?”

Lin Qiye recognized the familiar figure and spoke in surprise.

Everyone disembarked from the ship. Lu Wuwei stopped, removed his helmet, and smiled slightly, “We meet again.”

“Is this garrison your territory?”

“What territory? This isn’t the underworld,” Lu Wuwei shrugged. “I’m just temporarily stationed here.”

His gaze fell on Ji Nian and the others disembarking behind Lin Qiye’s group. He waved lightly, “Beautiful lady, long time no see.”

Two years ago, when the Nine Pillar Gods invaded, he still vividly remembered Ji Nian driving a McLaren back from the mist to help Daxia… Of course, what left the deepest impression was the scene of her and Ye Fan leaving by flying car, abandoning him and Guan Wuqing.

“Long time no see,” Ji Nian politely nodded.

“This ship is too conspicuous and inconvenient to dock at the city port, so let’s leave it here for now,” Lu Wuwei said as he led everyone.

“Zuo Qing called me. The plane to take you back to Beijing is ready. When you’ve finished your business, you can come back here to get the ship.”

“No problem.”

The transport plane Zuo Qing prepared for Ji Nian and the others was large enough to carry all the Shangxie Society members at once. Lin Qiye and his two companions took advantage of the free ride, traveling all the way from Shanhaiguan back to Beijing.

As soon as they left the airport, two figures stood up from a stone block by the roadside.

“Qiye!!”

Lin Qiye was startled to see Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan walking quickly toward them.

“Weren’t you at the Heavenly Palace?”

“Old Cao has recovered pretty well, so we came down. Commander Zuo said you were flying back, so we’ve been waiting for you here,” Baili Pangpang looked behind them, seemingly anxious. “Where’s Brother Zhuai?”

Lin Qiye froze, falling silent.

“Qiye, where is Brother Zhuai?” Baili Pangpang asked again.

“Brother Zhuai, he…”

Lin Qiye briefly explained what had happened to the two of them. Baili Pangpang’s brows furrowed tightly.

“The Hell Origin…” Baili Pangpang muttered. “My premonition was correct…”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, nothing.”

Baili Pangpang came back to his senses and looked down at his hands, confusion in his eyes.

He clearly hadn’t transcended the cycle of self-reincarnation, and neither his cultivation nor his Dao fruit had returned… why could he sense that Brother Zhuai was in trouble?

But fortunately, the [Source Dao Jade] he gave had taken effect. Shen Qingzhu should be out of immediate danger for now.

“Where are you heading next?” Ji Nian asked.

“First to headquarters to report on the mission, then wait for further instructions,” Lin Qiye answered. “What about you?”

Ji Nian was silent for a moment, then looked up into the distance.

“I… need to go somewhere first.”
