"Even as a mayfly enters the sea, I will burn my blood to scorch the heavens."

Tianyi held Great Knife in Tianyi and roared as he plunged it into the ground.

The Scarlet Grade Flame burning on his body surged to the tip of the blade, then disappeared into the ground. The Crimson Flame that had enveloped Tianyi vanished without a trace, like a candle that had been extinguished in an instant.

But then...

The whole world seemed to freeze for a moment, and the earth's crust began to tremble slightly.

The next moment

Countless fragments flew into the air, and almost endless Flame, like a volcanic eruption, shot out from the depths of the Earth's Core with Tianyi as the center. The range was extremely large, and it cleared away a large area of the surrounding Strange Tide in an instant!

Even a nearby Wraith King died a gruesome death from this attack.

One man Slaying a Wraith King.

This is a record that would be astonishing no matter where it is placed on the Eternal Night Continent.

Just as Tianyi said.

As members of the Eternal Night Hall's Field Operations Group, each person must have the ability to stop a wave of Strange Tide, even if only for a moment.

One strike and it's over.

The Tianyi was deathly pale, devoid of any color. He stumbled and stood on the ground, looking at the area he had just cleared. In the blink of an eye, it was filled with even more Strange Tide. Countless frenzied and Violence Strange Entities rushed towards him without fear of death.

A strong wind, carrying a foul stench, swept over us.

Just then

The Parent-Child Stone in his arms suddenly became hot, and the familiar yet heavy voice of Domain Lord Chen could be heard.

"Reinforcements from the Mortal Domain are arriving shortly."

"Hang in there."

He glanced back at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line behind him, suddenly laughed, weighed the knife in his hand, turned to look at the endless Strange Tide ahead, licked his lips, and couldn't help but recall the Black Bean Steamed Ribs he had eaten that morning.

It's delicious!

At this moment, the Strange Tide rushing towards him gradually blurred, and he vaguely remembered the scene when he was young, following behind his Master and begging for oranges, a scene that was warm and joyful.

But now...

"It's too late, Domain Lord Chen."

Thank you for your hospitality.

In the darkness of night.

Tianyi stood amidst the lingering flames on the ground, in the midst of the Torrential Rain. Hengdao stood still, his body like a bow, staring straight at the Strange Entities that was charging towards him the closest to him.

Indistinctly.

Between the teeth of this Strange Entities, which was roaring with its mouth wide open, he saw a Parent-Child Stone.

That should be

The Parent-Child Stone in the hand of the person in charge when the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line fell.

"I've avenged you, brother."

The next moment

The Rifts on Tianyi's body grew larger and larger, and his whole body was almost falling apart. More violent Crimson Flame shot out from the cracks in his skin, as well as from his eyes, nose, ears, and throat.

He roared as wide as he could, trying to release the burning heat within him.

He's had perms his whole life.

Throughout his life, that Crimson Flame had tormented him within his body at all times; today... he wanted it to be even hotter.

He laughed and started running.

An endless, Strange Tide rushed toward him, and he charged forward, his speed increasing until he was almost upon them. His eyes showed no fear, and his eye sockets were filled with Crimson Flame as he leaped into the air.

He grinned, brandishing his knife high in the Torrential Rain.

"Even if I were to Lei Mang entering the sea, I would still burn my blood Heaven-Burning."

"Corpse Liberation."

"Heaven-Burning!"

His blood began to burn rapidly, transforming into Crimson Flame. The Flame surged forth from the tip of his blade, forming a Flame dragon hundreds of feet long. With the first strike, he burned the Strange Entities with a Parent-Child Stone stuck between its teeth to ashes, instantly wiping out all the surrounding Strange Entities as well. He didn't stop for a moment.

The target is none other than the Wraith King.

Double hit!

The Wraith King, who once posed a great danger to the Mortal Domain during the Rainy Season, was struck by this attack, his chest pressed against his back, feeling utterly chilled.

Three strikes.

Yet another Wraith King has fallen.

Just as Tianyi was preparing to launch another attack.

A large, Dark Green hand shot out from the darkness and slammed down on Tianyi. With this single blow, Tianyi was sent flying high into the air, tracing an arc before crashing heavily behind the defensive line.

Their fate is unknown.

Almost instantly.

The almost overwhelming Crimson Flame were extinguished instantly.

Amidst the Strange Tide, the owner of the massive Dark Green hand, standing over ten meters tall, roared as he gazed at the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line"Strange Tide ahead. This was a Greater Wraith, Greater Wraith Strange Entities level above the Wraith King.

It is absolutely beyond human power to stop.

The area that had been briefly cleared has been filled with the Strange Tide again, rushing towards the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line, launching another fearless charge!

On the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

The person in charge witnessed this entire scene, his eyes reddening as he hoarsely cried out, "Hold on, hold on!!!"

The Cannon Tower on the defensive line began to bombard the Strange Tide below at maximum power, but with more and more Strange Entities corpses piling up, a large number of Strange Entities were getting closer and closer to the top of the wall.

Before Tianyi was sent flying by the Greater Wraith, he used the Parent-Child Stone to tell him that reinforcements from the Mortal Domain were about to arrive.

He didn't know how the Mortal Domain could provide support in a short time, but now, the Mortal Domain was his only hope.

The Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line stretched for tens of kilometers.

The pressure on his area had eased slightly due to Tianyi's outbreak, but other areas were on the verge of falling at any moment. The number and intensity of this wave of Strange Tide had far exceeded the capacity of the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

The Fat Man in the black robe who had been following Tianyi was now moving nimbly across the wall, his gaze finally settling on a giant monster who had swung a massive hammer and strode to the front of the defensive Greater Wraith, ready to smash it down.

It suddenly stopped.

The black robe he always wore fell off without any wind.

His true colors were revealed.

The skin was covered with basketball-sized bumps, and a thick liquid could be seen flowing inside the translucent bumps. The person was no longer recognizable Humanoid Form.

Even on his cheeks and neck, there were several bumps.

I can't see their expression clearly.

The face is not visible.

The Fat Man stood in the Torrential Rain, turned around and looked in the direction where Tianyi had been sent flying by the Greater Wraith. After taking a deep look, he squeezed out a hoarse, whistling sound from his throat.

"Night Watcher, Number Ninety-Seven."

"Start up!"

The man stepped out of the defensive line, one step at a time, and stood suspended in mid-air.

The thick liquid inside the bumps on the skin's surface began to boil and surge continuously until...

After Rifts appear on the surface of all the bumps.

He slowly opened his arms.

One last look at the Heaven and Earth.

He pulled out a Brown Sugar Steamed Bun that he had stolen from the Mortal Domain from his pocket, lifted the bump covering his mouth, and chewed it with difficulty, making a grating sound mixed with laughter as he murmured softly.

"Sweet"

"Finally, it doesn't hurt anymore."

The next moment!

Ghostly Green light, like the aurora borealis, burst forth in an instant!

And they kept surging into the night!

The 27-kilometer-long "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line" is almost entirely shrouded in Ghostly Green aurora borealis.

Everyone saw this.

Wherever the Ghostly Green aurora reached, countless Strange Tide, along with their Wraith King, perished. Only the Greater Wraith managed to escape, but it was severely injured. Almost all the Strange Tide in front of it were wiped out in one fell swoop.

The Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line, which was on the verge of falling, held firm once again.

This is the Night Watcher, a strategic weapon of the "Eternal Night Hall".

After special modifications, it is not only extremely powerful, but also does not cause any damage to humans or buildings. The only drawback is that the Night Watcher who is modified will suffer intense pain for the rest of his life, and the greater the intensity of the modification, the stronger the pain.

But

At the edge of the cleared area, a massive Strange Tide surged forth from the Eternal Night once more, seemingly endless and inexhaustible. The Greater Wraith roared and charged again.

Even more insane.

Even more furious.

The significance of strategic weapons is not to end the war, but to create a window of opportunity. If no counterattack is launched during this window, it is merely a matter of struggling a little longer.

But.

The reinforcements from the Mortal Domain have arrived.

Between the horizon.

Three lightning-infused Mortal Domain Cruise Missile streaked across the Eternal Night at incredible speed, carrying a terrifying deterrent as they landed directly on the Strange Tide outside the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a series of explosions filled the air.

Countless Thunder Serpent surged across the ground like Thunder God sweeping across the earth.

The aroma of roasting filled the entire sky.

However, most of these Cruise Missile missed their target, since the area had just been cleared by the Night Watcher, who only cleared the twenty or thirty Greater Wraith, as well as the areas not covered by the Eternal Night Watchers and the newly emerging Strange Tide from the Eternal Night.

A massive explosion resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth.

The person in charge standing on the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line," his eyes filled with fear and panic, steadied himself and quickly and urgently ordered, "Pour out the Corpse-Melting Water and clear away the Strange Entities corpses in front of the defense line."

But soon...

The area that had been cleared was filled again as a continuous stream of Strange Tide forth from the Eternal Night.

About ten breaths passed.

Between the horizon.

Three Mortal Domain Cruise Missile, carrying the deterrent power of thunder, once again streaked across the night Heaven and Earth, crashing heavily into the Strange Tide, causing countless fragments of the Strange Entities' corpses and ghostly green liquid to bloom in the air.

The area has been cleared again.

The Strange Tide of the Eternal Night Calendar surged forth once more.

Ten breaths later.

Three Mortal Domain Cruise Missile arrived as scheduled once again.

Behind the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line," Tianyi lay on the Wasteland, his fate unknown. From Tianyi Parent-Child Stone in his arms came Chen Fan's urgent and heavy voice. "Tianyi, report on the Frontline situation."

"Tianyi!"

"Tianyi!"

But no one answered; the voice echoed alone in the night.

Upon receiving the distress call, a hundred fully equipped Flying Boat from the Mortal Domain took off overnight and rushed toward the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line" at top speed. However, no matter how fast the Flying Boat were, it took them two hours to reach the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

Chen Fan standing on the deck of the Flying Boat.

Looking at the Map on the semi-transparent panel in front of him, he kept tapping the front of the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. Each time he tapped, the Sky-Piercing Pillar standing in the Mortal Domain Harbor would launch three missiles to support the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

The missile's speed was many times faster than his Flying Boat's.

But he was unaware of the situation at the Frontline.

We can only bombard blindly.

Three shots are fired every sixty breaths.

He quickly realized something and used Message Talisman to contact the Elder Seven of "Defense Line Seven": "Help me contact the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander and tell me the current situation of the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

"Clear!"

The Elder Seven were unaware that the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line had been compromised. They had not received any information, and according to procedure, they were not allowed to act as intermediaries, as this would constitute leaking confidential information from the Eternal Night Hall.

But he Trust Chen Fan enough, and Chen Fan's tone was somewhat urgent.

This made him realize that something must have happened at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line, although he didn't know how something could have happened to the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line, which was clearly an inland defense line. Soon...

Chen Fan contacted the person in charge of the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

"This is the Jiangbei Mortal Domain. Tell me the current situation at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

"Yes, yes..." The other person's tone was somewhat flustered and helpless. "Tianyi is dead, the Night Watcher has been activated, and a group of methods I don't know about have descended from the sky, killing quite a few of the Strange Tide."

"Those are Cruise Missile from the Mortal Domain; their numbers are limited."

"You're now in charge of reporting intelligence to me. When you deem support necessary, I'll launch another Mortal Domain Cruise Missile. The waiting interval will be approximately thirty-seven breaths; calculate the lead time accordingly."

"About two hours later, a hundred Flying Boat from the Mortal Domain will arrive at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

"Please hang in there."

He didn't explain much, and the other party quickly received the message on the other end of the Message Talisman.

After doing all this.

Chen Fan stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, gazing at the darkness receding to both sides, his face expressionless and silent for a long time. This wave of Strange Tide was coming for him.

The Strange Entity Clan.

That's a bit too cautious, yet also too decisive.

He had already concealed much of his strength, and the strength he revealed to the outside world was merely the Northbank Defense Line. Even so, the Strange Entity Clan, upon learning of this, still launched a thunderous offensive to destroy him.

So many Strange Tide suddenly appeared on the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

The price the Strange Entity Clan will pay will be substantial.

He looked at the number of remaining Sky-Piercing Pillar marked next to the semi-transparent Map in front of him.

There are a total of ninety-eight Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar in the Mortal Domain.

Fifteen missiles have already been launched, leaving eighty-two. One of them was fired at the Strange Tide outside the Northbank Defense Line before launch, and its approximate kill radius was determined to be ten kilometers.

The range didn't increase much.

However, the destructive power within the area increased significantly, and even Greater Wraith was reduced to ashes by this attack.

We didn't encounter any stronger Strange Entities.

Judging from the speed at which the Greater Wraith perished, he felt that even a stronger Strange Entities would be certain to die if struck by Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar. "Call for help!"

After a cup of tea, the voice of the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander came through the Message Talisman.

Without pausing, Chen Fan tapped the semi-transparent Map in front of him three more times.

Near the Mortal Domain Harbor, among the hundreds of Sky-Piercing Pillar standing on the ground, three Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar began to tremble continuously. Their outer shells shattered, revealing the tiny, slender Sky-Piercing Pillar inside. They slowly rose into the air, changed direction, and shot towards the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

Finally

After Chen Fan had launched a total of fifty-four Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar, he finally heard the voice of the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander.

"The Strange Tide... the Strange Tide... is gone."

"Call."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief; the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line had been held, albeit at a high cost.

Tianyi is dead.

The Night Watcher has begun.

The Mortal Domain possessed a total of ninety-eight Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar, of which fifty-five were consumed, but they ultimately held their ground. Once the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line crumbles, it will pose a tremendous threat to the Mortal Domain.

It's impossible for him to build a defensive line between Jiangbei and Jiangnan.

The defensive line was far too long. The Mortal Domain simply didn't have that many Eerie Stones. Even if there were, building the defensive line would take time; it couldn't be completed in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards.

"We found Tianyi. He's not dead yet, still breathing, but he's dying... I've temporarily kept him alive with the Altar." "I'm coming right away."

Two hours later.

A hundred fully equipped Flying Boat arrived at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. This was Chen Fan's first time at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. When the Flying Boat were at the same height as the City Wall, Chen Fan walked onto the City Wall.

The view outside the defense line was immediately visible.

The ground was almost leveled several meters high.

The air was filled with a mixture of burnt and bloody smells, and countless fragments of Strange Entities corpses were scattered outside the defensive line, interspersed with Eerie Stone.

"I am the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander."

A Middle-Aged Man strode up to him and said hurriedly.

"Take me to see Tianyi."

"Here."

The man hurriedly led the way.

Soon.

Chen Fan saw Tianyi with his eyes closed in a Sacrificial Tower placed on the City Wall. He was lying naked on the Altar, his body covered in Rifts, and he looked extremely terrifying.

But not a single drop of blood was drawn.

Only faint traces of Crimson Flame could be seen flowing out.

He didn't know anything about healing. Generally speaking, fractures and external injuries can be healed through Altar, but Tianyi's injury at this moment was clearly not that kind of. The fractures and external injuries had already been healed.

But there was no blood left in his body.

It's a miracle he's still alive. He was at a loss for what to do, but upon learning the news, he dispatched Flying Boat to bring back someone who might have a solution.

About Incense Stick later.

A Flying Boat shot out from the darkness and came to rest at the edge of the City Wall.

The Medicine King Valley Master, along with a group of Elder, quickly disembarked from the Flying Boat, carrying large and small bags, and approached Tianyi, cautiously and rapidly examining him. Soon...

The Medicine King Valley Master stood up and gave the answer.

"Domain Lord Chen, this person must have used a special Secret Art to rupture all the blood vessels in his body and burn away all his blood to unleash extremely powerful strength."

"This is a deadly Secret Art that cannot be stopped."

"But"

"The jade pendant worn around this person's neck contains a Rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures hidden in a hidden layer. It is of the yin nature and happens to neutralize some of the violent Crimson Flame."

"We spared his life."

"However, all his blood vessels had ruptured, and he was barely clinging to life. If he had Life Tablet in the Eternal Night Hall, Life Tablet would have shattered by now."

Even if placed on Altar, it can only live for three days at most.

"There is a way that might save them, but..."

The Medicine King Valley Master was somewhat unsure of himself. He had never faced such a difficult situation before, and the solution he could think of was merely a theoretical deduction. He hesitated to speak for a moment.

"Please feel free to speak."

Chen Fan said calmly, "There's no better way at this point; any method is worth trying."

After all, in a sense, Tianyi had fallen into this predicament while helping the Mortal Domain defend the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line, so he should have offered assistance. Although the news was leaked from Tianyi.

But.

That wasn't Tianyi's original intention either.

"Good."

Medicine King Valley took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "The first step is to help him rebuild his blood vessels, but the human blood vessels are extremely complex, and no one can do this yet."

"Unless"

"Unless a 'Wraith Blood Flower' is planted inside this person's body, allowing its roots to spread throughout the body and replace blood vessels, and then this person is planted in Level-Ten Farmland to allow the Wraith Blood Flower to grow rapidly."

"Then administer 'Human Blood Pill' to promote blood production."

"Theoretically, after several months of recuperation, there is a certain probability of survival."

"Etc!"

Standing to the side, Shao Qiu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I remember Medicine King Valley is a righteous sect, right? Not some demonic or evil sect, is it?"

"Domain Lord."

"This 'Wraith Blood Flower' is an extremely rare method of torturing and controlling people. When the Wraith Blood Flower is planted inside a person, its roots will continuously grow in the blood vessels, causing extreme pain. Once it has fully grown, it will bear a fruit."

"Just crush this fruit."

"This person will bleed from all seven orifices and die on the spot."

"And those 'Human Blood Pill' are Pills made from the blood of Living Beings slaughtered by Demonic Cultivator, used to quickly increase their Cultivation." "These are all heretical practices; you're using them to cure illnesses?"

"What crooked methods? Anything that can be used to save lives is a good path." The Medicine King Valley Master was initially a little unsure of himself, but when he heard someone questioning his area of expertise, he couldn't help but retort.

"Yes, the Wraith Blood Flower is a method of torture, growing continuously in the blood vessels through its roots. But he doesn't even have blood vessels now, so what kind of torture can he endure? The growing roots can simply replace the existence of blood vessels."

"Can you find other ways to help him repair his blood vessels?"

"That Human Blood Pill, if it's a method for Demonic Cultivator to enhance their Cultivation, it's also a miraculous elixir for quickly restoring blood and energy. It has a bad side, but it also has a good side."

"But as far as I know, refining Human Blood Pill requires a large amount of mortal blood. How many people do you plan to slaughter to refine one Human Blood Pill?"

Shao Qiu knew he shouldn't speak now; the Domain Lord definitely wanted to save Tianyi.

Although his hands were covered in blood.

But he truly couldn't stand the act of slaughtering mortals, especially slaughtering mortals to refine a single Pills, just like how he proved his strength by raiding the Slaying Immortal Holy Land at night, rather than slaughtering a City of mortals.

"No slaughter."

The Medicine King Valley Master shook his head and said, "If everyone in Medicine King Valley were to voluntarily donate a little blood, it would be enough to refine a batch of Human Blood Pill. There's no need to slaughter an entire Chicken Farm."

Shao Qiu suddenly froze on the spot, his mouth slightly open and closed, unable to react for a long time. How could he have never thought that Human Blood Pill could be refined in this way?

This

It seems like this is acceptable?

"We'll do it your way."

Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "Take him back to 'Sunset City' in the Jiangbei Mortal Domain. You will personally be responsible for treating his injuries. If you can save him, there will be a reward." "Yes!"

Medicine King Valley nodded emphatically in agreement.

A Flying Boat set sail overnight, carrying the group from Medicine King Valley and the critically injured Tianyi back to the Mortal Domain.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line," listening to the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander explain the ins and outs of the situation.

"That's how it happened."

The Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander, with a somewhat complicated expression and hoarse voice, said, "Shortly after nightfall, we received news that the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line had fallen. Tonight, the number of Strange Tide along the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line has increased dramatically, far exceeding its usual intensity."

"Immediately afterwards."

"This Strange Tide landed in the Coastal Area of Yellow Springs Mouth and arrived at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

Logically speaking, Chen Fan had no right to interfere in these matters, nor should he have spoken about them. But for some reason, when Chen Fan asked, he subconsciously told him everything he knew.

It's like reporting to a superior.

Perhaps it was because without the support of the Mortal Domain Cruise Missile tonight, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and report.

Chen Fan looked in the direction where the Eternal Night Man had self-destructed. There were still traces of Soil on the ground that had been stained Dark Green. He hadn't seen the scene with his own eyes, but through the explanation from the person in charge, he could roughly imagine what it was like.

I don't know why.

He always felt that this was too cruel to the Night Watcher.

While its power is indeed formidable, the Night Watcher is first and foremost a human being. To completely objectify a person and transform him into a strategic weapon seems somewhat cruel to him.

He didn't think the Eternal Night Hall had done anything wrong.

With the battle at the Frontline in dire straits and the Eternal Night Continent on the verge of falling, no one would consider humanity under such circumstances. He simply felt sorry for these Night Watcher. The Night Watcher's destiny shouldn't be to activate [the system/mechanism].

No one wants to be born; their only destiny is to self-destruct.

He believes.

These Night Watcher mothers, when they gave birth to their children, did not wish for their children's destiny to self-destruct.

He roughly knew where this Strange Tide came from.

Just like the convoy transporting supplies to the "Autumnbright Basin," they should break through regional restrictions and blockades at all costs and send out Strange Tide to land in the "Yellow Springs Mountain Range area."

Even for the Strange Entity Clan, such methods would likely come at a considerable cost.

In a short period of time.

I won't come here a second time.

But just to be on the safe side.

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the person in charge of "the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line" and said in a deep voice, "I will help you with some simple modifications to the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line to strengthen its capabilities."

"But this matter should not be reported."

"If we report this, the next wave of Strange Tide might be even greater."

"Clear!"

The Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander nodded in trembling voice. He roughly understood the situation. This wave of Strange Tide was heading towards the "Mortal Domain." However, they could not land from Jiangbei or the Defense Line Seven. They had to pass through several areas, resulting in too much loss.

They landed Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line.

In other words.

In the future, Strange Tide that want to attack the Mortal Domain from the inland will basically have to pass through here. The more information he reports, the more Strange Tide will come. This is before he is transferred away from the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

He definitely won't report it.

This time, the support from the Mortal Domain arrived, but what about next time? What if the support from the Mortal Domain runs out next time? What if there are no Night Watcher to buy him time next time? Chen Fan didn't speak again, but began to lay Copper Pipe, Altar, and Soul-Devouring Sculpture on the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line"—simple but fundamental buildings that could greatly enhance the strength of a defense line.

The Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line is not long.

It is the same length as the already fallen "Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line," which is 27 kilometers long.

It won't take too long to lay it out.

Not long after this wave of Strange Tide completely wiped out, the Ghost Emperor located outside the Sea Domain of "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One" received the news. He sat alone on the Throne in the Great Hall for a long time with a gloomy expression.

He then pulled a Ghost Bone from his pocket.

He personally contacted the inside man he had just converted, speaking each word in a hoarse voice.

You humans have an old saying, "Speed is of the essence in war."

"The wave of Strange Tide I sent out tonight was completely wiped out in a very short time. Do you know how much I paid to send that Strange Tide into the Mortal Domain?"

"Did you withhold some information about the Mortal Domain?"

"Without the intervention of the Mortal Domain, this wave of Strange Tide wouldn't have been completely wiped out at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. The Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line doesn't have that kind of strength." A furious and angry voice quickly came from the other end.

"I told you, don't contact me first. This is all the information I've received from the Mortal Domain, and I've already told you everything."

"And what's so surprising about that?"

"If the Mortal Domain hadn't demonstrated its potential, you wouldn't have sent the Strange Tide, would you? Is it surprising that a force with the potential to rise rapidly has some hidden cards?"

I'll say it again, don't contact me first!

"And one"

There's a saying among humans, "Haste makes waste!"

The call was quickly disconnected.

The Ghost Emperor, sitting on his Throne in the Palace, gripped the Ghost Bone in his hand with a grim expression. He knew he would be unable to send troops to the Mortal Domain anytime soon. However...

If we allow the Mortal Domain to develop unchecked, although the possibility of it rising to the point of influencing the entire war is extremely small, it is still an unstable factor. Let's report it first.

Let the higher-ups make the decision. If they want him to temporarily postpone the offensive against the "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One" and focus on dealing with the Mortal Domain, then he wouldn't mind and deploying the entire army to the "Yellow Springs Mouth Region."

Even if it involves crossing two regions.

Even if he suffers heavy losses, the remaining forces are far beyond what a small Mortal Domain and the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line can withstand. He can also take a rest.

Fighting every day is really tiring.

As dawn broke, another night came to an end.

Damn it!

Deep within the Eternal Night Hinterlands, in a City situated on a plain, an Elderly Man hurriedly and clumsily hid the General Strange Bone back into his Storage Ring before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Just as he was reporting to his superiors, the Strange Entity Clan suddenly contacted him.

It startled him.

We almost got exposed.

Just then

"Bang!"

The Grand Array he had set up inside the house was suddenly violently destroyed, accompanied by a huge explosion.

"Who!"

The Elderly Man's expression changed slightly as he looked towards the entrance, his face grave. He called out loudly, "This is the Eternal Night Hall Western Strategic Office, the private residence of Vice Hall Master Zhang Yide!" "Who dares to trespass!"

The next moment.

The door was kicked open.

A dozen or so people dressed in black and wearing veils filed into the house and surrounded the Elderly Man. Then, an old man with a cane slowly walked into the house and came to the Elderly Man.

He waved the Token in his hand.

He said softly.

Should I introduce myself?

"Qiu Yisi, Group Leader the Eternal Night Hall Western Field Operations Group, is dead."

"We've been ordered to capture Zhang Yide, the Mole the Eternal Night Continent. Will you surrender willingly, or will we take matters into our own hands?" Zhang Yide stood there, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. After a long while, his tense body suddenly relaxed, revealing a bitter smile, "Tianyi... only told me that message?"

"Yes."

Qiu Yisi slowly walked up to Zhang Yide and calmly said, "Tianyi believes that the news is quite important. Recently, there have been many traitors in the Eternal Night Hall. To be on the safe side, he dared not report to his superiors through normal channels."

"I hope you, as my Master, will report this message upwards."

"But it's obvious."

"He Trust you, his Master, a little too much."

"Thanks to you."

"Upon receiving the news, the Strange Entity Clan launched a night attack on the 'Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line,' at great cost. The line fell that very night, and nearly 100,000 people died because of you." "The Strange Tide surged into the Yellow Springs Mountain Range Region."

"Arrived at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line."

"Your apprentice, Tianyi, and Night Watcher Number Ninety-Seven of the Eternal Night Hall Western Field Operations Group have died while trying to stop the Strange Tide."

"With timely support from the Mortal Domain, the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line has not yet fallen."

"The Strange Tide has been extinguished."

Is this the ending you wanted?

"I"

Zhang Yide's eyes were red-rimmed, and he roared on the verge of a breakdown, "I... I didn't mean to kill Tianyi! I didn't know he would stay at the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. He reported to me the day before yesterday that he would go to the 'Heaven's Retribution Mountains' after leaving the Mortal Domain!"

"I gave him a last-minute assignment, sending him to the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line. The person in charge there had just taken office, and I asked Tianyi to do some psychological work with him."

"I"

Zhang Yide was on the verge of a breakdown. He subconsciously ignored what would happen after he sent the message to the Strange Entity Clan. It wasn't that he didn't know what might happen, but he didn't want to think about it, so that he could feel better.

"I... I only wanted to send this one message to the Strange Entity Clan. I just wanted to leave myself a way out, I..."

There is no way back.

Qiu Yisi approached Zhang Yide again, leaning on his Dragon-Headed Staff, and slowly said, "Only one side can survive Eternal Night Continent and the Strange Entity Clan. This is a war with no way out."

Those who betray the Eternal Night Continent shall be executed.

But death is a complicated matter.

"Cooperate with us."

"Tonight, send intelligence to the 'Strange Entity Clan' saying that many people from the 'Eternal Night Continent Western Plains Defense Line' have gone to support the Jiangbei Mortal Domain, fearing that the Mortal Domain may be attacked again."

"Tonight, the defenses of the Eternal Night Continent Western Plains Defense Line open; reinforcements can be sent to the Western Plains for a major offensive."

"If you cooperate fully, I can give you a quick and painless death."

Zhang Yide's expression was uncertain, and after hardly any hesitation, he nodded heavily with reddened eyes.

"Alright."

Qiu Yisi laughed and patted Zhang Yide on the shoulder, "No need to pretend to be regretful. You won't regret it if you haven't been caught."

People only realize their regrets when they're about to die.

"He's definitely going to die."

"But at least before you die, you'll do something decent so that when you meet Tianyi in the afterlife, you won't be completely unable to hold your head high in front of Tianyi."

Do you know?

"Tianyi was the most valued member of my action team. I'm actually quite saddened by his death."

"Etc!"

Zhang Yide suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "The pendant I gave Tianyi contained a herb called 'Seaheart Grass,' which can temporarily protect him after his Corpse Liberation." "No need to protect him anymore, his Life Tablet is broken."

After Qiu Yisi Yi looked at Zhang Yide and suddenly laughed again, "No one in the entire action team knows that Guardian Number Ninety-Seven is my son."

"I'm actually quite sad right now."

"Just a moment ago, I really hoped you would stand up for yourself and refuse my offer, so I could use all Field Operations Group's One Hundred and Seven Tortures on you."

"The person I value most, and my only son."

"In the blink of an eye, it was all gone."

"Real"

I want to tear you to pieces right now.

That's all.

Qiu Yisi didn't linger. He was slightly drowsy and trembling. Leaning on his Dragon-Headed Staff, he walked towards the outside. Suddenly, a Flame appeared on the back of his neck. He Proficiency swatted the Flame out as if he were swatting a mosquito, then flattened a Pills in his palm and stuck it to the back of his neck.

The members of the action team inside the house, however, were not so gentle.

They surrounded him, their faces grim.

For this kind of traitor.

The interior of Yongju Hall was extremely repulsive.

The Group Leader acted out of line because he wanted to follow the rules, but they didn't care, especially when they learned that the dead guardian was the Group Leader's only son, their faces became even more gloomy and angry.

"You... you want Lansh to go up?"

Zhang Yide instinctively stepped back, glancing somewhat flusteredly at the group of action team members who had surrounded him.

Outside the house.

Sitting on the steps, Qiu Yisi held his Dragon-Headed Staff in his arms, listening to the noisy shouts and fighting coming from inside the house. In a daze, he looked up through the continuous rain at the dark clouds floating in the sky in the distance.

After a while.

He pulled a piece of candy from his pocket and shakily put it into his mouth.

Tears streamed down her face, down her wrinkled cheeks, and onto her neck, which was covered in age spots and scars. Her son loved sweets.

I don't know

Did you get to taste something sweet before you died?

The destiny of the guardian of the ball is to initiate.

But.

That wasn't his son's destiny; he didn't want his son's destiny to be that of an initiator.

After a long while.

Qiu Yisi slowly lowered his head, staring at the puddle on the ground, and murmured, "Father won't live much longer. After a while, when Father is old, Father will go to Qianyao to kill a group of Strange Entities."

"Then"

"I'll come down and keep you company."

In conversation.

He slapped away another cluster of Crimson Flame that had emerged from his arm. The Crimson Flame within him were becoming increasingly difficult to control, and now that he had chosen a successor, it was time for him to step down.

Originally, he had chosen Tianyi as Tianyi successor.

It hurt me my whole life.

The pain will stop soon.
