"Lin Qiye hasn't arrived yet. Was he attacked by the monster last night...?"

Li Yifei made a throat-slitting gesture.

"He's fine. We signed a confidentiality agreement together. That guy was traumatized last night, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He can open his eyes now and went to the hospital to get his eyes checked," Gu Tianchen explained.

"That's good, that's good." Li Yifei finally felt relieved.

As the bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, Gu Tianchen and Li Yifei walked out of the school gate, chatting and laughing.

Under the streetlights at the school gate, a forlorn middle-aged man sat on the roadside, cigarette butts scattered at his feet, looking utterly desolate in the dim light.

"Old Zhao, are you still waiting?" Gu Tianchen asked with a smile as he leaned closer.

Zhao Kongcheng threw away his cigarette butt, stomped it out, his eyes bloodshot, and angrily demanded, "Where is that kid?"

"Oh, you're asking about Lin Qiye? He took the day off today and didn't come to school."

boom!

Zhao Kongcheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely disoriented.

I just waited all day for nothing?!

Zhao Kongcheng became even angrier when he saw Gu Tianchen laughing happily in front of him.

This kid passed by me at least three times today, and I didn't even remind him!

Why didn't you say so sooner?!

"You didn't ask."

Zhao Kongcheng felt like he was about to explode with anger. Just as he was about to lash out, Li Yifei next to him waved to a boy holding several books not far away.

"Lin Qiye! Lin Qiye! You can really see again?!"

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's name, Zhao Kongcheng turned around and looked behind him. Sure enough, the boy was standing not far away, holding several books.

Lin Qiye felt a pang of annoyance. Why did I have to go this way?

And that Li Yifei, I could see him! Are you really blind? Why did you greet me out of the blue? Do you think we're that close?!

"Kid, I finally caught you!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Qiye turned and ran.

Zhao Kongcheng took a quick step and gave chase.

He fled, he chased, but Lin Qiye had no way to escape.

Li Yifei was completely bewildered. "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, Lao Zhao took Lin Qiye to a hotel to study," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

"Huh? Studying in a hotel room? Is this serious?" Li Yifei asked in shock.

"Well... the room might not be very proper, but the content of the lessons is quite proper," Gu Tianchen replied in a serious tone.

After returning home, Gu Tianchen entered the Pangu Temple and began cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

"Here you are, brother. You're quite reliable. You've collected the second type of flame so quickly," Zhu Rong said with a smile.

"I'll go through fire and water to get you out of here as soon as possible, Brother Huo," Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

"Alright, alright, today I'll give you some more guidance on how to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and the Heavenly Divine Fire," Zhu Rong said happily.

"Brother Huo, before I begin my cultivation, I have a question for you. I currently possess both the Heavenly Divine Fire and the Rose Fire Feather Robe. Is it possible for me to use the Rebirth from Fire technique to revive twice?" Gu Tianchen asked hurriedly.

"Of course, if you accidentally die one day, remember to use the other collected flames first, and save the Heavenly Divine Fire for last. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the power of the divine fire and will set yourself on fire. There are quite a few examples of people who play with fire and get burned." Zhu Rong reminded him.

"I understand. But can being reborn from the ashes revive everyone else besides me?" Gu Tianchen asked.

"No, this supernatural power can only work on yourself; it has no effect on others."

Gu Tianchen frowned, somewhat disappointed.

His plan to revive Zhao Kongcheng through a phoenix-like rebirth has failed...

……

A few days later, in the old town.

Dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain began to fall.

It felt as if something bad was about to happen.

Zhao Kongcheng walked out of his building, holding the umbrella that Lin Qiye had given him.

Not far away, a boy holding an umbrella silently watched Zhao Kongcheng walk into the black van in the heavy rain.

Zhao Kongcheng took out his cigarette case and was about to light a cigarette when the voice coming from his earpiece made his pupils suddenly contract.

The cigarette he hadn't even lit yet fell to the ground.

Chapter 7 The Masked King

Torrential rain.

Rainwater gradually gathered into a stream on the dilapidated road surface of the residential area, flowing down the sewer and making a gurgling sound.

A figure draped in a dark red cloak ran wildly through the rain, splashing countless droplets of water.

"Xiangnan, are you sure the Ghost Face Dynasty's old city area is coming?" Zhao Kongcheng frowned.

“Not sure, but ten minutes ago, our search team found Ghost King’s bloodstains in the nearby sewer network. Judging from the trail, it’s likely from the old town or the city center,” Wu Xiangnan’s voice came through the headset.

"Two suspected destinations?"

“That’s right, the city center has a large flow of people, and I’ve already sent most of my forces there. As for the old city…”

"Are we just going to ignore the old town area?!" Zhao Kongcheng's voice was filled with anger.

“I didn’t say we should abandon the old town. Hongying has already brought people over. Your task is to evacuate the people in the old town as much as possible and avoid a direct confrontation with Ghost Face King.”

"Although it has been seriously injured by the captain, it is still a mysterious creature from the Sichuan region. Without the Forbidden Ruins, you are no match for it."

"If necessary, open the no-holds-barred airspace to trap it, understand?" Wu Xiangnan instructed.

"receive."

Zhao Kongcheng sped through the heavy rain, racing against time.

Suddenly, a nauseating stench filled his nostrils...

Zhao Kongcheng stopped abruptly and looked toward the source of the stench.

The stench was getting stronger and stronger from the manhole cover not far away.

"Report, Watcher Zhao Kongcheng has discovered the Ghost-Faced King in the Old City..."

Zhao Kongcheng opened the suitcase in his hand, and three brand-new notice boards instantly popped up.

He planted one of the signs in the ground and then sped off to the other side.

Taking advantage of Zhao Kongcheng's departure, a figure instantly rushed inside.

"Received! Old Zhao, Hongying has arrived with her men. You only need to use the Boundless Void Domain to temporarily trap Ghost Face King for ten minutes!" Wu Xiangnan said.

Zhao Kongcheng put down the second notice board and ran towards the next location, saying helplessly, "Xiangnan, you know, the Wujie Airspace is used to hide battles, it can't hold Ghost Face King for ten minutes."

"No matter what, you must not fight Ghost Face King head-on, understand?!" Wu Xiangnan said anxiously.

boom!

A manhole cover flew off, and a hideous arm reached out from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a monster several times larger than the masked man jumped out from inside, and Zhao Kongcheng clearly felt the ground shake!

Zhao Kongcheng put down the last notice board, bit his fingertip, and smeared it with blood.

"Shonan, do you still remember the oath we took when we joined the Night's Watch?"

“This time, I cannot back down, because behind me is that child’s whole world.”

The No-Rules Airspace is now open!

Zhao Kongcheng's eyes turned cold as he slowly drew his sword.

The Ghost-Faced King stood like a small mountain in the heavy rain, his eyes filled with a thirst for blood.

Swish!

Zhao Kongcheng gripped his straight sword tightly, its pale blue blade gleaming coldly in the heavy rain.

clang!clang!clang!

The straight blade and the claws collided violently, sparking intensely.

boom!

After three strikes, Zhao Kongcheng was sent flying by the Ghost-Faced King's terrifying strength and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, so what if they're monsters from the River Realm?"

"Roar!"

The Ghost-Faced King roared and slammed his huge claws down on the fallen Zhao Kongcheng.

……

One minute ago.

Gu Tianchen, who had secretly slipped into the Wujie Airspace, stared at the Ghost-Faced King who had appeared.

"Senior Zhurong."

"What's the matter?"

"Borrowing a halberd for use."

"Boy, although my Zhurong Halberd is an ancient divine weapon, it won't be able to exert much power in your hands. Once all the Heavenly Divine Fire you've accumulated through cultivation is used up, you won't even be able to lift it."

"I see."

There was no hesitation in Gu Tianchen's eyes.

"Good lad, here you go."
