Chapter 588: Finding My Student
Feeling the terrifying sword energy rushing towards him, all the high-ranking officials silently swallowed their saliva.
He Xingwen stared blankly at the young figure and the powerful aura faintly emanating from him, completely petrified in place…
Wasn’t it said that Zhou Ping had transcended to the divine realm?!
How did he suddenly appear here again?!
Was this false information left by Ye Fan?
Not only them, but even Zuo Qing, who stood beside Zhou Ping, was equally astonished.
He had just returned from his uncle’s restaurant, and he originally thought that after delivering Ye Fan’s message, Zhou Ping would quietly stay there for the rest of his life. He never expected that in such a short time, he would rush to the Night Watch headquarters, explicitly demanding to take over as the acting commander?!
This was not what he had anticipated!
“Zhou Ping, this is our internal matter in the Night Watch. You shouldn’t…” He Xingwen swallowed hard, wanting to point out that Zhou Ping had no right to intervene in this matter, but as soon as he began to speak, that calm gaze fell upon him.
Zhou Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a hint of killing intent.
He Xingwen’s body trembled!
In that instant, he felt his mind go blank, an endless tide of sword energy flooding into his brain, and his consciousness felt like a leaf drifting in the sea, frantically shredded by the sword energy, with no room for resistance.
He was nearly suffocating from the pain!
Fortunately, Zhou Ping’s gaze lingered on him for only half a second before he lightly turned to look at the others.
Coming back to his senses from this purgatory of sword energy, He Xingwen’s face turned pale, his back drenched in sweat. He felt his legs go weak, collapsing into his seat as if he had been drained of strength.
Seeing He Xingwen collapse, everyone realized the situation was dire. Except for Shao Pingge and another young executive, the others dared not meet Zhou Ping’s eyes.
Zhou Ping spoke淡淡, “I’ll ask again… who opposes?”
The conference room fell into a deathly silence.
He Xingwen, who had just been petrified by Zhou Ping’s gaze, had no strength left to speak, and seeing He Xingwen in such a sorry state, the other executives naturally abandoned any thoughts of joining him in madness, sitting quietly without a word.
Zhou Ping nodded, “Then it’s settled.”
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the conference room.
Zuo Qing stood there in a daze for a moment before realizing what had happened and quickly chased after Zhou Ping.
Before attending the meeting, Zuo Qing had anticipated that the hardliners might try to play tricks on him, so he had prepared some backup plans. However, he never expected that before he could use those tactics, Zhou Ping had come in and casually settled the position of acting commander with just a few words.
To avoid the other executives, the two walked all the way to the rooftop before Zuo Qing couldn’t help but ask:
“Why did you come back?”
“Didn’t you say I could do what I wanted?” Zhou Ping replied, “This is what I want to do.”
Zuo Qing’s expression was somewhat strange, “What you want to do… is to make me the acting commander?”
“That’s just a side benefit.”
Zhou Ping looked into his eyes, “Since Ye Fan chose to trust you, I will trust you too. You’re just a little short of breaking through to the next level. Until then, I’ll be your support…
Just like Ye Fan was my support back then.”
Zuo Qing was silent for a moment, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. It seems that the high-ranking officials of the Night Watch are not a solid block. Even if I’m your support, I can’t interfere too much in the Night Watch’s affairs; you’ll have to handle those yourself.”
“I understand.” A fierce look appeared in Zuo Qing’s eyes, “Some people have been comfortable at the top for too long and forget their identities… Ye Fan’s methods were too gentle before, but I won’t be like that. Once I take over the Night Watch, I will deal with them one by one.”
“As long as you know in your heart.”
“By the way, what would you have done if someone had really opposed just now?”
“Opposed? Then let them oppose.” Zhou Ping shrugged, “I can’t just kill them at the Night Watch headquarters.”
“…”
Zuo Qing continued to ask, “So what do you plan to do next?”
Zhou Ping looked up at the distance, silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
“Enter the Mist.”
“Enter the Mist? What for?”
“To find my students.” Zhou Ping said calmly, “I’ve heard about their situation. Since they went missing in the Mist, I will find them one by one.”
“But you don’t even know where they are.”
“When they entered the Mist to save me, they didn’t know where I was either.”
“The Mist is so vast, where will you look?”
“They disappeared near the border of Daxia; it should be the work of some foreign god.” A determined look appeared in Zhou Ping’s eyes, “Since it’s the work of a foreign god, I’ll search through each divine realm one by one. No matter how far I have to go, I will bring them back.”
“Invade a divine realm?” A hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Qing’s eyes. After a moment, he asked, “What if they have already…”
Zhou Ping did not speak.
But a cold killing intent flickered in his eyes.
“If they have already been killed… I will take down that entire divine realm to accompany them in death.” After a long pause, he said coldly.
Zuo Qing closed his mouth.
Zhou Ping glanced at him and said, “I don’t know when I’ll be back after I leave. During this time, the Night Watch will be in your hands.”
“Don’t worry, I will manage the Night Watch well.” Zuo Qing took a deep breath, clasping his hands together, “Safe travels.”
Zhou Ping nodded slightly, stepping in a certain direction, and with one step, he vanished!
Ding——!!
His figure transformed into a streak of sword light, piercing through the void in an instant, charging towards the edge of the Mist without hesitation.
……
Mist.
Olympus.
Under the gloomy sky, dense thunder roamed through the clouds, emitting a low rumbling sound.
Several bolts of lightning slashed through the air like ferocious giant snakes, illuminating a corner of the world. Above the surging, rolling waves, a massive mountain range, straddling the line between illusion and reality, was cast in a ghastly white.
Deep within this mountain range, a golden throne stood firmly atop the peaks.
On this golden throne sat an old man, bare-chested and brimming with explosive muscles, who suddenly opened his eyes, gazing towards a certain direction in the world!
The golden scepter in his hand trembled violently!
Along with it, the entire Olympus trembled.
In the distance, a deep red nightfall was rapidly consuming the sky, like a sword from the night, its blade pointing directly at Olympus.
Beneath that deep red nightfall,
A woman draped in a starry veil, wielding a humming longsword, was slowly walking through the void.
She looked at the grand mountain range in the distance, and the fire of vengeance burned fiercely in her eyes.
She parted her lips slightly, murmuring to herself:
“Olympus…
I have returned.”
