A dazzling magic circle spread out, and Lin Qiye appeared at the junction of the ant queen's huge abdomen and body, his twin blades stained with the night, as he swung them down fiercely!

Green blood spurted out, and the queen ant dragged her mangled body and fled frantically, rushing straight towards Garan, who was not participating in the battle, in the corner.

broken!

Lin Qiye gripped his twin swords, wanting to use the teleportation array to travel there, but his skill was still on cooldown and he couldn't use it.

As the remains of the queen ant hurtled toward Garan like a giant dump truck, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Tao Yao even closed her eyes in fear, lest she see such a beautiful girl being thrown away, her flesh mangled, and her life cut short.

Everyone present was tense about Jialan's fate, but Gu Tianchen silently sighed for the ant queen.

Good advice is useless to those who deserve to die; compassion cannot save those who have committed suicide. Of all people to choose, why did you choose immortality?

Fortunately, this is the underworld, so reincarnation is a very convenient matter.

When Garan saw the queen ant rushing towards her, she raised one hand expressionlessly.

boom!

A tremendous crash resounded, but Garan remained unmoved, while the hard red armor on the queen ant's head shattered and scattered across the ground...

The queen ant never understood how she died...

boom!

The queen ant's mangled body crashed to the ground, killed instantly by its own immense force, raising a cloud of dust.

Garan brushed away the dust in front of him and walked calmly to the crowd.

Aside from Gu Tianchen, who was silently lamenting for the queen ant, everyone else's jaws nearly dropped to the floor...

This girl looks so delicate and frail, how come she's even tougher than that brute Gu Tianchen?!

To be hit by something this big and not even budge an inch—is that even human?!

Lin Qiye walked up to Jialan and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Are you... really human?"

Chapter 158 The Third Royal Ruins

Garan looked displeased, pointed at the dead queen ant, clenched his little fist and shook it at Lin Qiye with a threatening expression.

Lin Qiye scratched his head awkwardly and said to himself, "I was just curious about your forbidden abilities, that's all."

An Qingyu took out two sharp scalpels, walked up to Jialan with a sincere expression, and asked very politely:

"Can I dissect you?"

"Do not……"

Before Lin Qiye could finish refusing, Jialan pushed him away.

With great composure, Jialan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arm, and handed it to An Qingyu, indicating that he could dissect it.

An Qingyu was so moved she almost cried. This was the first person in all these years to so support her anatomical work. She really... I'm so touched...

clang!

The sharp scalpel struck Garan's arm with a crisp metallic clang.

An Qingyu tapped and scratched Jialan's arm repeatedly with a scalpel, but left no trace.

“I understand…” An Qingyu adjusted her glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in her eyes.

"What do you understand?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.

“Miss Jialan should be from the same school as Tianchen, and they both practiced the invulnerable protective skill,” An Qingyu said with certainty.

Garan: ...

Gu Tianchen rolled his eyes. "Don't analyze things like that. We're not from the same school. Her forbidden realm is called [Immortal], ranked 015th in sequence, and is known as the Third King's Realm."

"It can grant a living being or an object the ability to maintain an absolutely constant state, while also possessing endless life and absolute defense."

"Wow, that's amazing?!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait, isn't the Forbidden Ruins ability something that only appeared after the Mist appeared? How did she obtain the Forbidden Ruins more than two thousand years ago?" Cao Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Why couldn't we obtain the Forbidden Ruins more than two thousand years ago?" Gu Tianchen countered.

“More than two thousand years ago, there was no fog or mystery…” Cao Yuan said, then suddenly realized something.

"Could the mystery have always existed? But there were no Night Watchmen in ancient times, so how did people fight against the mystery?" Cao Yuan asked.

“There were no night watchmen before, but before… the Great Xia had gods,” An Qingyu said.

Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "Who said there weren't mysterious organizations like the Night Watch in ancient times?"

"The Black Ice Guard of the Qin Dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Han Dynasty, the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Guard of the Song Dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty, the Sticky Rod Office of the Qing Dynasty..."

"Who knows if these mysterious organizations also recruit some prodigies and geniuses, who occasionally take on side jobs such as killing mystics and maintaining world peace?"

"Having accomplished their task, they left without a trace, concealing their identities and names, just like our Night's Watchmen today."

"hiss……"

Cao Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Alright, alright, stop guessing. The queen ant is dead. Can we go back and report now?" Shen Qingzhu asked.

"Hey, look! There seems to be someone in there!" Baili Pangpang pointed to the main hall.

A dark figure stood silently inside the hall.

Swish!

Everyone immediately tensed up and entered combat mode.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a piece of clothing, a... ancient robe with black background and gold patterns, containing a peculiar energy," Lin Qiye said after examining it.

"Could it be the legendary Black Dragon Robe? I've never worn a dragon robe before. I'll go try it on and see if it fits." Baili Pangpang said as he walked towards the main hall.

"Hey, you fatso, I'm warning you, don't mess around." Shen Qingzhu had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"It's just a piece of clothing, you're just too tense, Bro," Baili Pangpang said casually.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'If your birth chart isn't strong enough, you can't fit into the dragon robe'? You don't want to die right after you put on the dragon robe, do you?" Cao Yuan asked with a smile.

"That damned Cao Yuan, can't he wish me well for once?" Baili Pangpang rolled his eyes.

Tao Yao glanced at the black robe with gold patterns, which faintly exuded a familiar imperial aura.

"This looks like... the Emperor's imperial robe!"

"Ah?! The imperial robes of the Emperor of Fengdu?!"

Startled, Baili Pangpang quickly withdrew his hand and bowed towards the sky.

"I didn't mean to offend you, I was just curious. I didn't actually transmigrate. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty the Great Emperor of Fengdu."

Gu Tianchen smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. Even if you were to wear the body of the Fengdu Emperor, he wouldn't blame you. Once both of us are in our best positions, it's hard to say who will be stronger."

Baili Pangpang rolled his eyes. "You're just trying to trap me. My background is only useful in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This is the Emperor of Fengdu! Who has a stronger background than him?"

Gu Tianchen said mysteriously, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, the black imperial robe hanging in the main hall seemed to sense something, flew out of the hall, and headed straight outside.

"Holy crap? What's going on? The clothes came to life?" Baili Pangpang exclaimed in surprise.

"Maybe it's because you haven't bathed in so long that the imperial robe was scared away by your stench when it heard you were going to wear it," Cao Yuan mocked.

"Bullshit! I wash eight times a day, I smell so good I'm practically pickled. You don't believe me, Qi Ye, smell it for yourself." Baili Pangpang said, stretching out his arm.

Upon hearing those familiar words, Lin Qiye seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and he placed both hands on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it.

"No, no, we're all brothers." Gu Tianchen held down Lin Qiye's hand, which was about to draw his sword to chop off Baili Pangpang.

"Fall back." Lin Qiye sheathed his sword.

"Yo-ho! Our Fifth Special Squad's first mission was a complete success! We can finally go on vacation!"

"Where do you guys want to go? I'll cover the airfare and hotel!" Baili Pangpang said, patting his chest.

Gu Tianchen looked at Baili Pangpang speechlessly and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Where would you all like to go for fun...?"

"last sentence."

"Mission... successfully completed, we're finally... on vacation?" Baili Pangpang said slowly after recalling for a moment.

Gu Tianchen said with a serious expression, "Didn't I remind everyone that after forming the special team, we must never mention the word 'vacation'? Otherwise, something bad will happen."

Baili Pangpang said with a disbelieving look, "Is it really as mystical as you say...?"

boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, sending out countless crimson ripples that emanated an aura of death.

"Holy crap, what's going on?! Could something really bad have happened?!" Baili Pangpang was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

Within the crimson ripples, a jet-black hand reached out first, followed by an arm, a shoulder, a head, and a torso...

A black-clad, bare-chested god stood in the sky, his cold gaze looking down upon the masses who were like ants.

"After waiting for so long, you're finally back."

Chapter 159 The Great Emperor of Fengdu

As Li Deyang stepped onto the first black stone staircase suspended in mid-air, long-forgotten memories surged forth like a tide…

tread!

As he stepped onto the second black stone step, more and more memories surfaced in his mind...

Third stage, fourth stage, fifth stage...

As Li Deyang slowly stepped onto the seventh step, he stopped on the stone step.
