Chapter 719: Amplifier of the Forbidden Ruins

The moment Lin Qiye sat on the cushion, he felt an endless heat surge into his body. In his consciousness, streams of pale blue auroras connected to his meridians, resembling a high-tech brain-machine interface that completely linked his mind and body.

Once this connection was fully established, Lin Qiye’s body trembled, and his mental energy mixed with the pale blue auroras, rolling and surging to every corner of the ruins.

At that moment, his mental perception felt amplified countless times, instantly leaping across the boundless sky and covering the entire ruins.

Every broken wall, every stone, every speck of dust within the ruins was vividly imprinted in his mind. This sensation was akin to a deity sitting high above, taking in all the worldly matters at a glance. This unparalleled divine perspective suddenly filled Lin Qiye with an inexplicable sense of pride.

However, Lin Qiye did not forget his purpose. Relying on this mental perception that enveloped the entire ruins, he began to search rapidly. In less than half a second, his consciousness locked onto a certain corner of the ruins.

It was around a black temple, where countless stone statues had already awakened and were engaged in a chaotic battle with three figures.

One was a man with golden hair and blue eyes, wielding a Western longsword, whom Lin Qiye did not recognize; another was Jialan, draped in a deep blue Han robe, fighting fiercely against demons like a humanoid beast; and the last one…

Wu Xiangnan?!

The moment Lin Qiye saw that figure, he froze in place.

Although several years had passed, every member of Team 136 was deeply etched in his mind. He had not forgotten how he became a Night Watchman and how he had grown step by step to this point…

Without Cangnan’s Team 136, there would be no current “Nightfall.”

Wu Xiangnan, he could never forget.

But Lin Qiye did not understand why Wu Xiangnan, the vice-captain of Team 136, was not in Daxia but appeared in the ruins of Japan, separated by an endless ocean. Was he dispatched by the Night Watchmen? Did that mean… Jialan also came from Daxia?

Finding Jialan and Wu Xiangnan excited Lin Qiye’s heart. He wanted to retract his perception of the “Mortal Realm,” trying to activate another forbidden domain, but he suddenly realized that no matter how he tried to control it, the “Mortal Realm” could not be turned off.

Under the amplification of the cushion, the forbidden domain felt like a forcibly operated fixed program; no matter how hard he tried to shut it down, he could not succeed.

His forbidden domain no longer belonged to him…

Now, it was this cushion controlling his forbidden domain.

Not only that, but Lin Qiye’s body had also completely stiffened, unable to exert even the slightest strength. The possibility of standing up from the cushion to escape this state was utterly impossible.

It was not until this moment that Lin Qiye understood why Baili Pangpang sat alone on this cushion, unresponsive to his calls. His body and forbidden domain had been entirely controlled by the cushion, making it impossible to actively interrupt this state.

Fortunately, Lin Qiye had prepared in advance.

As two minutes passed, Lin Qiye felt his body being pulled away, completely detached from the cushion. In that instant, his body and forbidden domain finally returned to his control, but a wave of fatigue surged over him like a tide.

The amplification of the cushion’s forbidden domain also placed a burden on the body.

Lin Qiye frowned and opened his eyes. Yumiya Seikou was gently placing him on the ground, looking quite serious.

“Are you okay?” Yumiya Seikou asked.

Lin Qiye glanced at Baili Pangpang, who was still in a deep sleep beside him, and waved his hand. “I’m fine… This cushion is more sinister than I imagined.”

He had only sat on that cushion for two minutes and was already exhausted. Baili Pangpang, on the other hand, had no idea how long he had been sitting there. No wonder he remained asleep even after Lin Qiye detached from the cushion; this kind of physical fatigue was not something that could be easily replenished.

It seemed that it was uncertain how much longer Baili Pangpang, who had unknowingly slept for who knows how many years on the cushion, would continue to sleep…

Lin Qiye stood up from the ground, stuffed the “Free Space” into his pocket for temporary safekeeping, and after thinking for a moment, took out the “Yao Guang” and tossed it to Wei Dong.

“Do you know how to use this?”

Wei Dong caught the necklace, raising an eyebrow. “A forbidden item? I can.”

“You guys take him to the entrance and wait for me. I need to handle something.” Lin Qiye paused. “If all goes well, I found the ‘Sentinel’ you mentioned.”

Hearing the latter half of his sentence, Wei Dong’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Golden hair, Western longsword, like a knight. He’s with my teammate.”

“That’s right! He is the Sixth Envoy.”

“They’re caught in a chaotic battle. I’ll go rescue them and then meet you at the entrance.” Lin Qiye walked to the edge of the azure clouds and spoke.

Wei Dong thought for a moment. “Okay.”

“Wait a minute!”

Just as Lin Qiye was about to step onto the Nimbus and leave, Yumiya Seikou suddenly called out to him.

Yumiya Seikou took the “Yubeng” from his waist and handed it to Lin Qiye. “Take this.”

Lin Qiye was taken aback. “But this is your sword.”

“You used it quite well.” Yumiya Seikou said with a hint of jealousy. “Anyway, we won’t need it at the entrance, so I’ll lend it to you for a while. Just return it to me once we regroup.”

With Baili Pangpang’s disarmament, the forbidden items and the “Huo Jin” sword here could be used normally. Giving this sword to Lin Qiye meant increasing his combat power.

Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment but still accepted the “Yubeng” and hung it at his waist, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

“Thank you.”

Lin Qiye turned around, a wisp of cloud rising beneath his feet. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the long-lost Sun Wukong mask from his pocket, put it on his face, and soared into the distance on the Nimbus.

…

Beside the temple.

The knight was surrounded by surging white waves, and with each slash of his longsword, he cleaved a massive demon into pieces.

Among the three battlefields divided by the demons, the knight had the most demon corpses around him. With his terrifying physical prowess and Western swordsmanship, he was a veritable demon-slaying machine.

In fact, although the knight was the Sixth Envoy of the Xie Society, his own realm was not high. This was mainly because, for the Xie Society, realm and combat power were not the most crucial factors; they had always lacked talents with special skills.

For example, experts in engineering, architecture, and firearms manufacturing, or spies with exceptional stealth and counter-surveillance abilities, or masters of firearms, or skilled fighters like the knight with strong physical combat capabilities…

As the memorial said, they were not a “regular army”; they were merely a group of “bandits” huddled together in the fog.
