After AFK for five years, I returned to be number one in the entire server.

Lin also came to Song Jing. Song Jing's condition was not good at the moment, with shocking large patches of blood on his chest and arms.

"Are you alright?" Lin asked.

Song Jing endured the excruciating pain that felt like being cut by a knife and shook his head.

Lin also looked at his wound, and a blue light appeared in the air, enveloping the wound.

"I have removed the negative energy from your body, but you will need to heal the remaining injuries on your own."

Song Jing breathed a sigh of relief as the stinging pain in his body gradually subsided. He thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

After resolving Song Jing's issue, Lin also said, "I'm going to find Zhao Qishan, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying this, Lin Ye's figure disappeared into the night sky.

Song Jing calmed his breathing and slowly descended towards the forest below, which was scarred and battered by the glacier.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground covered with broken wood and ice chips, Song Jing took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on a deep pit ahead.

Kamiya lay at the bottom of the pit like a boneless lump of mud, with scarlet blood mixed with fragments of internal organs constantly oozing from his body, and in some places even the white broken bones could be seen.

Although Chen-level's powerful vitality was still keeping him alive, it was only enough to keep him barely clinging to life. He couldn't even move a finger now.

Song Jing was already exhausted from the severe injury to his chest, and he couldn't be bothered to look at this mess any longer.

He randomly found a thick tree trunk lying on its side nearby, sat down, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

After an unknown amount of time, faint noises once again came from the distant woods under the cover of night.

In the distance, the soil churned, and the barriers of the underground passage were pushed open.

Saya Igarashi emerged silently from the depths of the Tianjie Canglu branch, escorted by dozens of family assassins.

The group seemed to be in a hurry. One of their subordinates said, "Strange, how come the two Yao-level beings who were supposed to stay behind at the Heavenly Rank are both dead?"

Another subordinate was holding a six or seven-year-old boy in his arms. The boy was wearing expensive clothes that were slightly dirty. "Those bastards from Tianjie deserve to die. They not only kidnapped our Yuanjie, but also secretly kidnapped our young master who had been missing for more than half a month."

Saya Igarashi's gaze lingered for a moment on her younger brother's sleeping profile, a chilling glint flashing in her icy eyes.

Another subordinate responsible for liaison emerged from the shadows and spoke urgently: "Miss, I just received the latest news. The sudden departure of those Heavenly Realm cultivators at the Chen level is very likely a false rumor deliberately spread to lure us into action. They could return at any time."

Saya Igarashi remained silent, signaling the team to immediately speed up their retreat.

The group had only walked a hundred or two meters when their gaze passed through several fallen trees, and the sight ahead made everyone stop in their tracks.

The open space not far away was completely unrecognizable. The ground was filled with deep craters created by huge blocks of ice and piles of broken wood, as if a fierce battle had just taken place.

Amidst the ruins, a man sat on a broken tree trunk.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Song Jing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting that of Igarashi Saya, who was walking at the front of the group.

Saya Igarashi's gaze swept quickly over Song Jing, the large patches of blood on his chest and arms being particularly noticeable.

But what truly surprised Igarashi Saya was the bottom of the pit not far from Song Jing.

There lay a bloodied man on the verge of death. Even though his body was mangled beyond recognition, Igarashi Saya still recognized him as Kamiya Suke, a Heavenly Rank cultivator.

Saya Igarashi looked at Song Jing again. Not long ago, this man had been tied to a pillar in her yard.

Her fingers silently pressed against the folding knife button on the side of her skirt, and her gaze towards Song Jing became extremely wary.

Seeing the hostile look on the other side, Song Jing didn't want to lift a finger or explain anything.

If the other party isn't blind, they should be able to understand that they have absolutely nothing to do with the Heavenly Rank by looking at Kamiya-suke at the bottom of the pit.

Song Jing quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and then made a decision.

In front of Igarashi Saya and dozens of assassins, he rolled his eyes, tilted his head to the side, slid off the tree trunk, and lay on the ground in a rather unrefined posture, "fainting".

Saya Igarashi stood still, her cold, sharp eyes fixed on the man lying motionless on the ground. She tilted her head and gestured to one of her subordinates to come forward and check on him.

"Miss, he's still breathing. He has serious injuries and has lost a lot of blood. He must have been exhausted from the battle and passed out."

Hearing this, Saya Igarashi felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Her gaze swept over Kamiya Suke again in the deep pit. As one of the Eight Calamities, Kamiya Suke was a nightmare in Japan, and his strength was beyond doubt.

And this man on the ground was actually able to fight Kamiya to this extent.

Saya Igarashi knew very well that if this man hadn't fainted and had instead chosen to fight them, even though he was already seriously injured, they might not have come out on top.

Igarashi Saya looked at Song Jing, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Take him back."

the other side.

Halfway through the fight, Zhao Qishan was suddenly expelled from Cui Haozhen's state of ignorance.

When he could see his surroundings again, Choi Ho-jin had vanished.

Just as Zhao Qishan was about to head back, Lin also appeared beside him.

Below them lay a second cluster of metal buildings, clearly another secret base of the Tianjie Canglu branch.

At this moment, this secret base is in chaos.

Electronic alarms sounded and red and blue warning lights flashed.

Lin Ye's gaze fell on a figure at the edge of the base, and then he and Zhao Qishan used teleportation together.

Gu Qingxin stood by the metal wall, carrying a long, dark red wooden box on her back.

Her steps were light and silent, and she held several confidential documents sealed with special materials in her hand.

Those alarms and chaos were the very masterpiece she had just created deep within the base.

Just as Gu Qingxin was about to disappear into the deeper woods, Lin Ye and Zhao Qishan appeared in front of her.

She turned her gaze to Lin Ye, a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected him to come to Fusang when he should have been in Ningchuan City, Xiashang.

The base's alarms grew closer, and the Sky Rank pursuers were rapidly conducting a grid search in this direction, wielding powerful searchlights.

Gu Qingxin put the document away, and the brief look of surprise on her face was quickly replaced by her usual calm and composure.

She looked away, her voice soft yet exceptionally clear against the noisy background.

"Let's leave here first."
