Slaying Gods: Ancestral Witch Agent, Starting with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

"Are you kidding me? This is at sea..."

Baili Pangpang's voice stopped abruptly because he had already seen the figure wearing a dark red cloak.

He walked on the sea, his pace seemingly slow, but in the blink of an eye he had caught up with the small wooden boat.

"Who goes there? State your name!"

Baili Pangpang pointed at the newcomer and questioned him loudly.

"Ye Fan," the newcomer said calmly.

Baili Pangpang said with a disdainful look, "Hehe, who are you trying to scare? If you are Commander Ye, then I am Laozi."

"Commander Ye."

On the small wooden boat, Gu Tianchen, Shen Qingzhu, and Cao Yuan bowed to Ye Fan.

Baili Pangpang's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared in disbelief at the serious-looking man in front of him.

Holy crap, is it really Commander Ye, the Night Watchman?!

The chubby boy's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground, but Gu Tianchen and Cao Yuan supported him from the left and right.

Lin Qiye first looked at Ye Fan with a shocked expression, and then looked at Gu Tianchen.

Are you kidding me?

Commander Ye really caught up with us?!

Six people crowded at the bow of the boat, while Ye Fan sat at the stern, leaning on his straight sword.

The small wooden boat, which had been swaying precariously, was now unusually stable, as if the entire ocean had been intimidated by Ye Fan's aura, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.

"Lin Qiye, how is your recovery going?" Ye Fan asked, looking at him.

Lin Qiye was surprised at first, then replied seriously, "Thank you for your concern, Commander Ye. I'm all better now."

Are you sure you're all better?

Ye Fan asked with a serious expression.

When Ye Fan asked him that question, Lin Qiye suddenly felt a little insecure.

"Am I... ready?"

Ye Fan said with a stern face, "If you're cured, you're cured; if you're not cured, you're not cured. Don't you know your own condition?"

"I'm all better, Commander Ye," Lin Qiye replied with a firm expression.

“Alright, your problem is the least serious among these people. Now that you’re better, I’ll take you back to the fasting center later so you can reflect on your escape.” Ye Fan said.

"Um... what if I'm not ready yet?"

"Send you back to Sunshine Mental Hospital so Dr. Li can continue your treatment," Ye Fan said impartially.

Good heavens, we're definitely not going to get out of the fasting place...

"Next is you, An Qingyu," Ye Fan said coldly, looking at An Qingyu.

An Qingyu was equally surprised, never expecting that the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch would know his name.

“I’ve heard Gu Tianchen mention you, more than once. He said he has a friend in Cangnan with an extremely high IQ who loves dissection. If it weren’t for the fact that we Night Watchmen couldn’t be kidnapped, he would have sent you to the fasting facility to keep you out of the reach of other organizations,” Ye Fan said earnestly.

An Qingyu looked at Gu Tianchen with a resentful expression.

"Ahem, we used some scarcity marketing tactics to emphasize your importance, don't worry too much about the details," Gu Tianchen explained in a low voice.

An Qingyu: ...

“Although you are not a night watchman, you helped Gu Tianchen infiltrate the fasting facility and abduct Lin Qiye. You will probably be sentenced to a long time. But since you are not a night watchman, you still took the initiative to help intercept the prisoner. I can plead for leniency for you.”

“Yes, Commander Ye.” An Qingyu nodded obediently.

“Cao Yuan, Baili Tuming, as Night Watchmen, you abandoned your posts and helped Gu Tianchen kidnap Lin Qiye. You also secretly infiltrated the fasting center. You knowingly broke the law, so your crimes are doubled. You are sentenced to eleven years in prison.”

Baili Pangpang's face instantly turned ashen. "It's over. Eleven years. I'm going to spend the best years of my youth working on a sewing machine..."

Holding the knife, Cao Yuan asked earnestly, "Commander Ye, can I go back to the room where I was previously squatting? I'm a bit sentimental."

"I've been keeping it for you, just in case you go berserk in the Forbidden Ruins and come back one day," Ye Fan replied.

Cao Yuan: You're quite considerate.

"Shen Qingzhu, derelict in her post, assisted Gu Tianchen in kidnapping Lin Qiye, and secretly broke into the fasting center to steal a small armory..."

“Wait a minute,” Shen Qingzhu frowned. “Commander Ye, I, Shen Qingzhu, always take responsibility for my actions. I never deny what I have done, and I will never admit to what I did not do.”

"When did I steal a small armory?"

"The entire armory has been emptied. This is a note left at the scene. Take a look for yourself."

Ye Fan handed Shen Qingzhu a note that read:

The notorious thief Shen Qingzhu!

Chapter 129 Stewed Goose in an Iron Pot

This was clearly done by Gu Tianchen, the sixth brother!

Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold. She was about to activate the Forbidden Ruins to drain the air around Gu Tianchen when Gu Tianchen beat her to it and pointed a bronze blade at her.

Shen Qingzhu's [Qi Min] ranks 068, while his [Breaking Illusion Blade] ranks 035. His forbidden realm has been temporarily nullified.

"You son of a bitch..."

"Brother Zhai, I was wrong. I did it. Commander Ye, you can put the blame on me. How many years am I sentenced to?"

"Forging classified documents, stealing from an armory, instigating night watchmen to commit crimes, kidnapping critically ill patients..."

"Forget it, I won't list them all. Let me just say this: even if the fasting center is gone one day, you'll still have to serve your sentence," Ye Fan said seriously.

"No way, Commander! Sun Wukong only got five hundred years in prison for causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace. I just got someone out of the fasting camp. I'll be rotting in jail for life, and that's not the end of it?"

"Commander, since we've been holding off the escaped prisoners at the fasting center, why don't you let us go?" Gu Tianchen asked with a grin.

"Let you off the hook? But there are six of you in total," Ye Fan said, looking at everyone.

"Then release us six horses, one horse for each of us. We'll repay Commander Ye's great kindness even if we have to be his oxen or horses in our next life," Gu Tianchen said with tears in his eyes.

“I am the commander of the Night Watch, not a stable boy. I can’t release so many horses. However… I can try to give you a chance to redeem yourselves,” Ye Fan said.

"Wear it, you must wear it. Anyone who doesn't is a coward," Gu Tianchen said righteously.

Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly. Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"You can no longer return to the original Night's Watch team. Headquarters plans to form a fifth special team, and the six of you will serve as reserve members and begin carrying out special team missions."

"I will lift the punishment on you when you successfully become full-fledged employees. If you fail... those who should go to the hospital will go to the hospital, and those who should go to jail will go to jail."

"Of course, you also have the right to refuse. I can send you back right now."

A ripple of golden Buddhist light spread out, and the small wooden boat began to drift towards the fasting place.

"No, no, no, we're willing!" everyone said in unison.

"Are you really willing? Don't force yourself. I'm the kind of person who never forces others," Ye Fan said earnestly.

"No, no, I've never felt so strongly about dedicating my life to the Night's Watch," Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

“Me too,” Baili Pangpang quickly chimed in.

The remaining people could only voluntarily join the special squad reserve.

Compared to spending a lifetime in jail, there's still a chance to be promoted from a special team reserve to a regular member.

"Alright, this is your first task. Good luck."

Ye Fan handed a document to Gu Tianchen, then turned and disappeared into the vast sea.

"Good news! We don't have to go to jail!" Baili Pangpang shouted happily.

"Bad news, we don't have a holiday anymore," Gu Tianchen said dejectedly.

Baili Pangpang looked puzzled. "Why? Don't special teams get holidays?"

"From now on, brothers, you must remember this: no matter how hard or tiring it is, we cannot take a single day off, absolutely not!" Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

"Talking nonsense."

Lin Qiye snatched the document from Gu Tianchen's hand, opened it, and found a cell phone inside.

On my phone was a briefing on the mission.

“About three days ago, the Night Watch team stationed in Anta County sent a request for assistance to headquarters, saying that they had discovered mysterious traces of what appeared to be a large-scale ant colony in the primeval forest in northern Anta County, and their initial assessment was that their strength was between that of the Sichuan and Hai regions,” Lin Qiye said.

"Ask a question!"

“Say it one by one.”

"Where is Anta County?" Baili Pangpang asked with a curious look.

"It's a small county town with a small population on the edge of the Xing'an Mountains. It's almost the northernmost city in the Great Xia. If you go further north and pass through the primeval forest, you'll reach the border of the Great Xia." An Qingyu pushed up her glasses.

"But given the mystery between the river and sea borders, is it really necessary to send a special team? Can't they handle it themselves?" Shen Qingzhu said impatiently.

“Do you think all the Night Watch squads in Great Xia are at the same level as the squad in the capital, with all members at the Sea Realm? Apart from a few first-tier cities, there are no Sea Realm experts in second- and third-tier cities. In remote areas, it’s good if there’s even one River Realm expert in charge. Most of them are at the Pool Realm or the Lamp Realm,” Cao Yuan explained.

Lin Qiye looked at Gu Tianchen, "Last one, what's your question?"

What are we having for dinner?

Lin Qiye: ...

"Of course we'll eat stewed goose in an iron pot when we go to the Northeast! Let's hurry over and have a hot meal before we go on our mission." Baili Pangpang's drool was practically dripping.

Great minds think alike!

The two gave each other a high five in perfect unison.

"Time is of the essence, we need to speed things up," Lin Qiye said.

"Yes, yes, goose doesn't taste good when it's cold." Gu Tianchen nodded with a smile.

"All you ever think about is food. What I mean is, let's hurry to Anta County. Where's Hongyan?" Lin Qiye asked.

"That's right, Tianchen, hurry up and take out Hongyan. It's been so long since I rode Hongyan. I really miss the feeling of being a dragon knight," Baili Pangpang said hurriedly.
