Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

In Beijing, Ye Fan received a message.

"Guan Zai, why are you paying attention to the affairs of the Baili family?"

A message quickly popped up in the notification bar on my phone:

[Baili Tuming is not a child of the Baili family; he is a scapegoat placed outside to block the true heir.]

Ye Fan's hand trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

[I'm just passing on a message. I met a very interesting guy recently, and he's quite interested in your fifth reserve squad.]

[But Commander Ye, the situation in Guangzhou and Shenzhen really needs some reform. You know, Baili Xin has even gone so far as to start promoting his son, Baili Jing, as the real "Baili Tuming" to the Night Watch squad stationed there?]

Ye Fan gripped her phone tightly.

Bailisin is a cold-blooded and selfish man, a fact he has come to realize during every high-level meeting, but his current actions have crossed the Night's Watch's bottom line...

[He took advantage of the fact that those people needed his family's contraband, and he used it to win people over everywhere. The entire city of Guangzhou and Shenzhen was practically under Baili's control...]

Guan was still there, rambling on about the information he had found in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

[And did you know that Baili Xin has already made a move against Baili Tuming...?]

Ye Fan silently closed his contacts and made a phone call:

"Zuo Qing, do me a favor. Get to the Baili family's house in Guangzhou-Shenzhen City right now! Something's happened there!"

At the same moment, Guan Zai replied to another user with the account name "Chief Fiction Maker":

"I sent the message to Ye Fan. By the way, where have you been all this time? I haven't been able to contact you for several months."

Chief: "...busy writing a book."

After complaining to Ye Fan about the Baili family's problems, Guan turned around and saw this, immediately perking up: "What book? I want to read it!"

Chief Editor: "Let's wait for it to be released. The first version was published on Tomato.com in Daxia, and a friend plans to send the second version to Japan."

Guan suddenly realized something and scratched the deer avatar on her friend's profile picture: "Don't tell me you haven't been playing games with me lately because you have other friends?"

Is it from Japan?

The CEO's lightning-fast response was suddenly frozen in place.

"Am I right?"

With a "you've got another cat on the side" mentality, she started nagging: "Let me tell you, Japanese guys are all cunning, you're easily fooled..."

The chief interrupted the spellcaster, saying, "Alright, I have other things to do. A brat came to my house and I need to teach him a lesson. We'll talk about the rest later. I'll have to trouble you for help this time."

Damn it, Rahu! While it was busy replying to messages here, it ran away from somewhere else!

Guan seemed to want to say something more, but in the end, he simply replied with "okay."

Oh well, I'll just find some time later and pay more attention to this mysterious but innocent online friend.

…………

The group of people surrounded the teenagers in a "U" shape, each holding a forbidden weapon—some emitting a dim light, others reflecting icy shards, and still others capable of scattering sparks and leaving scorch marks on the ground upon impact…

They all watched as the boy in the white shirt stepped forward and stood at the very front of his five teammates, his voice cold, like an ice dagger piercing through the air—

"Fifth Special Squad Reserve Team, all draw your swords—"

The boy raised his long swords from either side, pointing them directly at the enemy before him. Behind him, several magic circles shone brightly in the night.

Several black boxes flew out and landed in front of everyone except Lu Yu.

Almost simultaneously, Jialan, An Qingyu, and Cao Yuan opened the black box, took out their long swords, and together drew their swords from their sheaths, producing a clanging sound as metal was drawn from its scabbard.

The "new life" in Lu Yu's hand transformed into a stream of water, which then changed into a long sword with a shape similar to the blades in the hands of the others.

The girl turned to look at Baili Tuming, her voice clear and bright, yet without any timidity:

"Let's settle this once and for all, Fatty. We'll share all the consequences with you."

The boy, who had been feeling dejected, looked at the determined gazes of his teammates and no longer hesitated. He took out the knife from the black box in front of him and pointed it at the people he had once thought were his closest relatives.

Only then did Lin Qiye finally look directly at Baili Xin. His cold expression made Baili Xin realize the difference between a divine agent and an ordinary person.

"...Okay...very good..."

Baili Xin looked at Lin Qiye, his anger turning into a cruel laugh. He waved his hand in their direction, and all the men who had been prepared behind him sprang into action.

"Kill them all."

The man's eyes were gloomy, as if he already regarded the boys as dead.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then you can all stay here..."

He looked at the group of clueless young people and even gave a hypocritical sigh:

"I wonder if you six mere brats can survive the attacks of several Sea Realm experts from my Baili Group and countless forbidden artifacts and see the sun rise tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Baili Tuming, who had just blocked a slash from his former bodyguard and was still feeling somewhat complicated, stiffened.

Indeed, the Baili Group is known for its endless stream of forbidden items, and even he, as the former heir, was unaware of some of these special forbidden items.

If they really have to go through this kind of relentless, all-out attack, they really won't be able to hold on...

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Lu Yu's blade flew out, accurately striking Baili Jing, but he quickly grabbed a Chuan Jing who was pulling him forward and blocked it. Seeing this, even the usually mild-mannered white-haired girl burst out laughing.

"Forbidden items? You think you have a lot?"

Lu Yuxiao's voice was not concealed at all; in fact, it became even more flamboyant.

"Then let me see how much inventory you have."

Baili Xin looked at Lu Yu with a fierce expression, seemingly hating her to the core.

"Lu Yu, how can you still laugh? You really are just a commoner, how could you possibly understand the profound heritage of aristocratic families!"

Lu Yu tilted his head: "Background?"

With a wave of her hand, the Qiankun bag on her chest opened slightly, followed by several flashes of light—

Before everyone, several objects shimmering with strange light floated in mid-air. The aura they emitted alone was enough for those who knew their value to recognize their uniqueness.

"...That's really unfortunate. Well, although I don't have a privileged family background, I do have friends..."

The girl flicked her finger, and one of the magical artifacts, flashing with golden light, landed in front of the several forbidden artifact wielders who were rushing to block her path.

"That's because they were worried I'd be bullied if I was alone, so they brought me some little things..."

Not far away, a powerful expert from the Sea Realm also drew his longbow and shot an arrow. In an instant, the arrows transformed into a thousand shadows, rushing towards Lu Yu's location, determined to riddle the divine agent with holes.

Lu Yu leaped up, her body flipping in mid-air to dodge the thousand sharp arrows, none of which landed on her.
