The wind howls.
An old, dilapidated temple, in a dimly lit main hall.
Yu Qingnian held three incense sticks in his hand and inserted them into the dilapidated incense burner in front of him, whispering, "Along the way, there are still unfinished matters and unresolved issues."
"Xiao, have you also embarked on that path?"
"There are never mistakes in making choices, only mistakes in our methods."
"In a sense, we are the ones who exert influence, pursuing a perfect outcome with almost zero risk. But we are never the ones who wield the pieces; each of us is a pawn in the game of fate, whether it's you or me."
"How vast is the world, and how many truly possess a heart of righteousness..."
"His life was only 18 years long; what he pursued and sought could only be understood through the passage of time."
"His time is limited, so we must wait and support him. Waiting is not the only hope, but it is the only way."
"In this vast world, we are but insignificant beings, with no right to bind the will of other beings to ourselves. This world is not kind to new geniuses and new things."
"Born in this brilliant era, everyone possesses their own unique insights; he was merely caught up in his own thoughts."
Roar~
Suddenly, a roar came from outside the temple.
Countless strange eyes peeked out from the darkness.
They were all Eerie Monsters.
Yu Qingnian ignored the golden lightning that flashed across the palm of the broken statue in the palace after he stared at it for a few seconds.
The entire hall was instantly illuminated.
The Eerie Monsters roars gradually faded away.
As his figure disappeared, the view shifted to the sky, revealing a dense array of Eerie Monsters below, and a towering barrier not far away.
Canghai Pass...
The entrance to the City of Sin.
The layers of snow on the ground were stained with blood.
Limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere, and mountains of corpses were piled up in the corners, left to be battered by the wind and snow.
Qin Jiao frowned, her beautiful figure encased in blood-red armor.
"Weiyang, where is Li Chen?"
"You didn't go with him?"
Weiyang lowered her head and didn't dare to breathe. Qin Jiao was terrifying in this state.
After all, they had just been in battle, and the killing intent still lingered.
"Jiaojiao-jie, Li Chen's abilities are too strong, how can my short legs keep up!"
"What's more, he even went to rob goods intended for Lust; if I followed him, I'd be riddled with bullets..."
Seeing Qin Jiao's increasingly pale face, Weiyang wisely shut her mouth.
With a "bang".
A black cell phone was smashed to pieces on the ground.
Qin Jiao snorted coldly, glanced at the crowd still fighting outside, and muttered, "That Wrath guy is still alive."
"It seems the Qin Family won't collapse anytime soon."
"But Li Chen, have you actually obtained the right to take charge yet...?"
At that moment, a man dressed in white Chijie Armor walked in, carrying a chipped steel knife with bloodstains on it, a testament to the brutal war that had raged outside.
"Warden, most of the criminals have been executed."
"Many have surrendered."
"Activate the Heavenly Eye System?"
Qin Jiao hesitated for a few minutes before nodding and saying, "Burn all the criminals' bodies in one go, and activate the Heavenly Eye System half a day later."
"Those criminals who jumped out are permitted to be executed within half a day."
"As for the street situation, go and inform those criminals that anyone willing to clean it up will be rewarded with 10 Merit."
The man responded and left.
Upon hearing about money, Weiyang's eyes lit up, and she cautiously asked, "Jiaojiao-jie, how about I go Cleansing the streets too?"
"I'm very good at it!"
Qin Jiao tapped her head and said irritably, "You've already dumped Li Chen, and you still have the nerve to come here and collect your salary?"
"The City of Sin rife with conflict right now. If I had someone bring you here, you'd probably be dead inside."
Weiyang lowered her head and remained silent.
She knew she was useless; whether she was by Li Chen's side or Qin Jiao's, she could only watch from afar.
Sigh~
Sighing, Qin Jiao hesitated, puzzled.
There must have been a purpose in arranging Weiyang to be by Li Chen's side. One reason was that Wei Yang Weiyang been taking care of Li Chen, who was in a coma, for a year. As his guardian, she wouldn't have to worry about Li Chen doing anything to her.
Furthermore, it can also serve a surveillance function.
At the very least, Qin Jiao needed to know what Li Chen was doing and whether he was acting according to her wishes.
However, it now appears that a War of Kings has been thrown into chaos.
Whether Li Chen has actually obtained a position of Authority Holder is unknown.
Furthermore, she was somewhat unsure whether there would still be room for negotiation if Li Chen were on equal footing with her.
The extent of power can influence people's hearts.
This will also indirectly affect everything.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Jiao spoke up, "Weiyang, go find Li Chen and continue to stay by his side. What you do next is crucial."
Weiyang did not refuse and nodded.
She naturally knew what it meant, took out her phone from her pocket, and started dialing Li Chen's number.
Meanwhile, in the secret base of the Mu Hen.
The group finally waited for his father.
Uncle Mu's body still had a lot of debris and blood clots on it, making it look extremely bloody.
However, the group was not surprised by this.
With a "bang".
Uncle Mu punched Mu Hen chest, laughing and scolding, "You brat, didn't you know to get me a chair or a bottle of water?"
"Your old man is out there fighting to the death with others, and you're just enjoying yourself here."
Mu Hen chuckled and quickly fetched a chair, explaining, "I'm just welcoming you back!"
"It's been so long since I've been back to Sinful City, I should at least take a look around."
Uncle Mu gave a cold laugh, clearly annoyed. He knew his son's true nature all too well; even a fool could figure it out.
Su Xian and Su Zhe, who were standing nearby, both expressed no surprise.
Fathers are all like that; even though they scold their sons, they still care about them.
After catching his breath and taking a sip of water, Uncle Mu looked at Su Zhe and the other man and asked, "These must be your classmates?"
Mu Hen grinned, not denying it. "No, they are my comrades-in-arms. They've had their share of trouble on the way to Sinful City."
"If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I might have died out there."
Then Mu Hen into a long introduction, practically exposing everything about Su Zhe, since he was a major financial backer.
Uncle Mu's eyes lit up, and his face became kind, making Su Zhe tremble.
Mu Hen smiled, unconcerned, and asked, "Speaking of which, what's going on with Sinful City these days?"
"Why does it feel like I'm in World War II when I walk in?"
Uncle Mu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Now that the War of Kings has begun, the City of Sin is undergoing a new round of reshuffling."
"Your old man almost died in this war."
Mu Hen's expression changed drastically; he was naturally aware of the War of Kings.
Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Is it going to be this explosive right from the start?
Clearly, his focus wasn't on the intelligence that his father had almost died.
