Chapter 580: Message
He raised his head, looking at the ethereal light that covered the entire city above him; those were the Fengdu laws he had left behind.
He extended his hand, gently grasping at the sky.
The Fengdu laws, which had protected the entire city from the mist and the gods, quickly condensed towards the top, transforming into a ghostly sphere that slowly fell into Li Deyang’s hand.
As he lightly closed his palm, the ethereal light merged into his body.
He took a deep breath, and an incredibly profound imperial might surged from within him. The oil-stained military coat gradually transformed into a black imperial robe, with golden patterns intertwining, moving without wind. The stubbled face revealed an imposing demeanor, and his entire aura began to undergo a remarkable transformation.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Han and Lu Yu simultaneously widened their mouths.
The pressure emanating from Li Deyang was something they had felt several times in the mist; this kind of pressure… belonged to a deity.
Moreover, the ethereal light swirling around him was identical to the Fengdu laws that had shrouded the broken city outside.
“Chen, Chen Han senior…” Lu Yu stammered, “Who is this…?”
Chen Han stared blankly at everything, unable to utter a word.
“I am Chen Han, captain of the Night Watchman Team 332 stationed in Anta County,” Li Deyang, draped in the imperial robe and exuding immense authority, spoke in a deep voice.
Chen Han instinctively stood up straight, “Yes!”
“From now on, they will be entrusted to you.” He extended his hand, pointing at the sleeping citizens in the city behind him, while the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, “And…
Welcome home.”
In the palm of the Fengdu Emperor, a deep glow suddenly flashed, and at the same time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared in his hand, a circular ring instantly enveloping the entire city.
In the next moment, the ring contracted, and the entire floating city vanished from sight.
When Chen Han and Lu Yu regained their senses, the figure of the Fengdu Emperor had already disappeared.
The broken city that had been floating in the air had unknowingly returned to the ground, and the original city gap before them had vanished without a trace. The half of the city taken by the Wind God had instantaneously traversed space, flashing from the eastern sea border to the northern border, reuniting with the other half of the city.
Above them, there was no longer the ghostly laws, but a clear blue sky.
This city had returned to where it belonged.
Chaotic footsteps approached from behind. Lu Yu turned around to see several awakened residents walking out of the underground parking lot, looking around in confusion, seemingly unable to accept the scene before them.
“Senior Chen Han, they are awake!” Lu Yu exclaimed in shock.
Chen Han gazed at the spot where Li Deyang had stood, and after a moment, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
“What a… huge surprise.”
…
“That half of the city has returned?”
At the entrance of the Night Watchman’s special ward, Ye Fan suddenly stood up from his seat upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone.
“Where is Zhou Ping? Where is he?” he asked urgently.
“After the Sword Saint killed the God… he ascended to the Dao.”
“…”
Ye Fan gripped the phone, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.
“Captain Chen Han of Team 332 brought back his heart. He said that Lin Qiye, the captain of the Fifth Special Team, mentioned that as long as this heart is here, the Sword Saint has a chance of resurrection…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed.
“Where is the Fifth Special Team?”
“They… are missing.”
“Missing?!”
“Chen Han said that just before reaching the Great Xia border, they saw a figure on a small boat on the sea. After they entered the mist, they never returned.”
“…”
“Ye Fan…” On the other end of the line, Zuo Qing’s voice was filled with concern.
Ye Fan’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone tightly. After a long silence, he hoarsely replied:
“I understand…
Zuo Qing, take those things and Zhou Ping’s heart… and wait for me at Jiuhua Mountain.”
“Ye Fan, are you really…”
“Do as I say.”
Before Zuo Qing could say anything else, Ye Fan hung up the phone.
Sitting beside him, Ji Nian raised an eyebrow, “What happened?”
Ye Fan turned his head, looking at her with an unprecedented seriousness.
“…Just say what you need to say, don’t keep staring at me,” Ji Nian said, feeling uneasy under his gaze.
Ye Fan took a deep breath.
“Ji Nian, I’ll ask you one last time… can you not leave?”
When Ye Fan said this, his tone was extremely serious, causing Ji Nian to momentarily forget to retort. She fell silent for half a second before responding earnestly:
“I can’t.”
“…” Ye Fan sighed, “I understand.”
“So, what exactly happened?”
“Nothing.” Ye Fan glanced at Chen Fuzi, who had been pushed out of the emergency room and was now out of danger, shook his head, and turned to walk alone towards the hospital exit.
“If you really don’t plan to stay… you can leave.”
Creak—!
After saying this, he reached out and pushed open the door to the corridor, his figure disappearing behind it.
Ji Nian watched Ye Fan’s departing back, frowning, a look of confusion appearing on her face.
After hesitating for a moment, she stood up, hands tucked into the tattered black cloak, and stepped towards the other side of the corridor.
…
Bang—!!
A loud explosion echoed, faint arcs of electricity and flames danced in Guan Zai’s grasp, falling to the ground along with the smoke-filled phone.
Guan Zai’s eyes were bloodshot!
“Zhou Ping…”
He murmured to himself.
In the front seat of the electric bike, Lu Wuwei, holding the handlebars, remained silent for a moment before slowly saying:
“I think you need to calm down…”
Guan Zai’s hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms, leaving traces of blood. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath…
“Where is Ye Fan?”
Despite his efforts to suppress his voice, Lu Wuwei could still clearly hear the burning anger in his chest.
Lu Wuwei paused, “I don’t know.”
“Bullshit!” Guan Zai shouted in a low voice, “Who can escape your Forbidden Ruins’ tracking? You can hunt down Loki, yet you can’t find Ye Fan?!”
Lu Wuwei silently rode the bike, not saying a word.
Guan Zai took another deep breath, “Do you really think I would be reckless enough to kill Ye Fan for Zhou Ping’s revenge? I’m angry… but that doesn’t mean I’m foolish!
I just want to find him… and then confront him face to face!”
Lu Wuwei was taken aback and tentatively asked, “Really just a confrontation?”
Guan Zai was silent for a moment, “I might also uncontrollably beat him up… but I will definitely not kill him.”
Lu Wuwei nodded.
“Alright, I’ll take you to find him.”
