Wang Ye stopped outside the Intelligence Department entrance and hung up the phone.
"Let's not fight this battle."
Liu Qian and Wang Qiang nodded without speaking, but Mao Yong'an was anxious: "Why not fight? This way I won't get to show off my gallant bearing to the goddess!"
Hearing Mao Yong'an's voice, Zhou Han nearby involuntarily shuddered.
Finally...
Zhou Han's eyes glazed over slightly, and an impassive emotion emanated from her as a violent aura filled the depths of her eyes.
"Come with me."
Zhou Han gave Mao Yong'an a ghostly look, then walked towards a nearby alley by herself.
???
Mao Yong'an's eyes instantly lit up.
"Haha, I knew it, my damned charm!"
Mao Yong'an laughed out loud excitedly, rubbing his hands eagerly: "My son Mao Gang is one step closer to being born!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Ye gratefully: "Brother, when my son is born, I'll have him call you godfather!"
Ignoring Wang Ye's strange expression, Mao Yong'an hummed a tune and walked into the alley.
Wang Ye untied the ropes, releasing the paranormals except for Su Wenqian and King Kong. He then kicked the two over and sat on them, glancing at the alley where Zhou Han had gone.
Zhou Han's aura seemed to have changed just now, becoming somewhat different.
That aura was so powerful...
And somehow familiar.
Wang Ye pondered, but couldn't make sense of it.
Still, Mao Yong'an's effect satisfied him very much. It looked like Zhou Han could no longer restrain herself from erupting at full power.
As for whether Mao Yong'an would die...
If the Daoist Master died just like that, it would mean he was looked down on too much.
Besides, if he died, then that big black backpack...
No, he couldn't think about it, or Wang Ye felt he might lose control of himself.
Suddenly, a horrendous energy erupted within the alley, along with shrill screams.
"Ahhhh!"
"Goddess, don't, don't!"
"I...I...Damn!"
"Oh my god, help!"
Hearing Mao Yong'an's piercing cries, Wang Qiang and Liu Qian collectively shuddered.
It brought listeners to tears.
Much more vivid than King Kong's amateurish screams earlier.
Even King Kong and Su Wenqian, upon hearing these screams, abruptly woke up and looked around warily, as if sensing some great horror.
After some time...
Zhou Han bounced out from the alley cheerfully wearing cat ears, giving Wang Ye a smug look.
After another moment, Mao Yong'an emerged with torn clothes, looking completely distraught and numb, like a walking corpse dragging his listless body. His eyes were vacant, filled with deep terror.
He kept muttering,
"Mao Gang is gone..."
"Dad failed him..."
"Mao Gang is gone..."
Wang Ye looked at Mao Yong'an sympathetically, then slapped Su Wenqian on the head to knock him out again.
He then said with interest to King Kong: "Brother, you afraid of dying?"
"I've shed blood for Tian Zu, I've sold my life for Tian Zu! I'm not afraid of death!"
King Kong roared fiercely.
Wang Ye sighed, "If you're not afraid of death, we wouldn't be chatting like this. Tell me, how many moles does Fo Zu have in Tian Zu? Talk clearly and I'll spare your life."
"I'm not with Fo Zu! Wang Ye, you're settling personal scores, just kill me!"
King Kong looked at Wang Ye unyieldingly, his blood-red eyes filled with resolve.
Nothing else, only to prove my conviction with death.
Admirable backbone.
Wang Ye silently praised, "I respect you, so I'll skip the torture and make it quick."
He drew out his Bone Removal Blade, glinting coldly in the sunlight.
A faint stench of blood emanated from the Bone Removal Blade as he thrust it unhesitatingly towards King Kong's neck.
King Kong watched Wang Ye, eyes about to split, not even blinking.
"Intelligence Department's Liu Wei, Zhao Gan, Operations Department's Zhou Hao, Wu Pengtian!"
In an instant, King Kong recited several names at lightning speed.
The Bone Removal Blade brushed past King Kong's neck and stabbed into the ground with a soft chime.
A thin cut appeared on King Kong's neck, oozing a trickle of blood that slowly healed under his powerful body's recovery ability.
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you, such steely backbone!"
Wang Ye praised, knocking out King Kong again with a palm strike. He then woke up Su Wenqian.
"Brother, it's your turn. Tell me, what's your connection with Fo Zu?"
Su Wenqian looked at Wang Ye resentfully, refusing to speak.
Wang Ye was taken aback. "That's not right, I thought you were the spineless one."
Thinking so, Wang Ye stomped down on Su Wenqian's wrist, the sound of bones cracking. Su Wenqian's expression changed violently, but he gritted his teeth and still didn't say a word. His gaze towards Wang Ye grew even more furious.
"I was mistaken."
Wang Ye sighed slightly, increasing the force under his foot.
Even the bone fragments had pierced through the skin, blood gushing ceaselessly from the wrist.
Su Wenqian's face was ashen, looking extremely frail, but he stubbornly remained silent, squirming restlessly.
Wang Ye was silent, his gaze towards Su Wenqian changing for the first time.
He sighed softly, "I underestimated you. In this world, everyone is just struggling to survive. Choice of faction is irrelevant to right or wrong. I insulted you, so I'll make it quick."
As he spoke, Wang Ye drew out his Ghost Cleaver and chopped towards Su Wenqian's neck.
The Bone Removal Blade was just for intimidation. Using the Ghost Cleaver meant Wang Ye really wanted to make it easy for Su Wenqian.
Su Wenqian's expression changed wildly. "Son of a b--!"
Before he could finish, Xiao Si flashed over, slapping a palm over his mouth.
A crisp sound rang out as Su Wenqian's face swelled up.
He looked at Wang Ye resentfully, shaking his hand pinned under him as tears...streamed from his eyes at this moment.
The usually cocky him...
Was actually crying now.
...
Wang Ye looked at Xiao Si peculiarly, suddenly realizing, and changed his order.
"Alright, you can speak now."
Su Wenqian heaved a long sigh of relief. Looking at Wang Ye, he cursed loudly, "Wang Ye, f*ck your ancestors!"
Slap!
Another crisp sound as Wang Ye silently retracted his hand. "Mind your words, don't swear."
...
Su Wenqian was silent briefly before carefully choosing his words. "I have no ties with Fo Zu."
"I don't believe you."
Wang Ye shook his head slightly. "If you don't tell the truth, I'll send you on your way."
The Ghost Cleaver raised up again.
Su Wenqian panicked, "I really have nothing to do with Fo Zu, I am..."
Su Wenqian's shadow suddenly wavered. The next second his body violently convulsed, eyes wide open, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth as he completely lost breath.
That shimmering shadow returned to stillness.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
