Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Huaihai City, the base of the 007 Night Watch team.

On the edge of the city, Jiang Ye and his group of eight arrived here and were stunned when they saw the sign above the entrance of the old office building.

A bright red banner hung on the gate, which read: "Warmly welcome the Nameless Team to come and exchange skills."

clap clap clap!

Just as Jiang Ye and his eight companions saw the banner, three windows on the upper floor of the office building opened, and colorful cannons boomed, raining down confetti from the sky onto them.

Apart from Jiang Ye remaining completely calm, Lin Qiye and the others were all stunned in place.

What's even more astonishing is that a rolled-up red carpet was laid out towards the eight people from inside the doorway, making it seem very grand.

"What...what's going on?!" Baili Pangpang said, his face blank.

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses and thought for a moment, "They should know we're coming, so... Lao Cao, did you give them a heads-up beforehand?"

After Cao Yuan finished his training camp, he was transferred to the 007 Night Watchman Squad in Huaihai City.

Cao Yuan looked on in bewilderment as he watched his former captain pull this stunt. He touched his buzz cut and shook his head.

"I don't know either, I didn't tell them at all!"

Just as Lin Qiye and the others were wondering, several figures slowly walked up to them, with the man in the lead approaching Lin Qiye.

"Hello, I am Guang Qingsheng, the captain of the 007 team stationed in Huaihai City."

His gaze swept around the room, he nodded at Cao Yuan, and continued to ask, "You are the Sword Saint's students, right?"

Lin Qiye and the others exchanged glances and nodded with slightly surprised expressions.

"Yes, we are..."

"Captain Guang," Cao Yuan greeted politely.

Guang Qingsheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying with satisfaction, "Not bad, you've made something of yourself. So you've been transferred to the reserve team of the special squad."

Cao Yuan looked slightly embarrassed, and sighed inexplicably as he gazed at the red carpet on the ground.

So it turns out... it had nothing to do with me.

Guang Qingsheng glanced at the eight people, his gaze lingering on Jiang Ye for a moment, and said gently, "We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

"The venue for the sparring has been arranged. Would you like to begin immediately, or take a break?"

Lin Qiye was taken aback. "So you knew we were coming?"

Guang Qingsheng nodded and took out a letter from his cloak. "This is a challenge from the Sword Saint."

He handed it to Lin Qiye.

The latter opened it and immediately felt drenched in sweat.

—Foolish 007 team members.

Tomorrow, my students, the fifth special team reserve squad, will come to Huaihai City to challenge you. Please prepare the venue in advance and go all out, otherwise you will be badly beaten.

If you can't beat them, please don't be discouraged; after all, your tricks are no match for theirs. (A consolation from someone who's not a sword saint...)

Lin Qiye looked at the sword intent contained in each stroke of the letter, and it was indeed the Sword Saint.

But why does this feel like they're going to increase the intensity against us?

If Jiang Ye is holding back the 007 team leader, does that mean they're going to get serious with us?

Lin Qiye suddenly felt a sense of life-or-death crisis.

Lin Qiye looked up at Guang Qingsheng, whose eyes narrowed and whose smile was intriguing.

He gave an awkward smile and nodded. "Let's begin now."

Tread!

Guang Qingsheng and the rest of the team members stepped aside, extending their hands and saying, "Please!"

These two words gave Lin Qiye a feeling of being a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Finally, Jiang Ye and his group of eight entered the old-fashioned office building.

Han Qing, the deputy captain of Squad 007, poured water for the eight people.

Guang Qingsheng looked at the eight people and asked doubtfully, "Are you all at the Sea Realm? Are you sure you want to follow the Sword Saint's letter and attack together?"

Lin Qiye and the others were taken aback and looked at Jiang Ye beside them.

Lin Qiye pointed at Jiang Ye and said, "Captain Guang, you fight him, and the rest of the team members can spar with us."

Upon hearing this, the 007 team all turned their attention to Jiang Ye, their expressions filled with even greater confusion.

Isn't it Haijing?

"Who is he?" Guang Qingsheng noticed from the beginning that the boy had a very strong aura.

And that expression made it seem like he didn't care about anything.

"Captain Guang, his name is Jiang Ye!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Guang Qingsheng's face froze, and the paper cup in his hand fell to the ground.

The other team members also looked somewhat surprised.

They might not have met Jiang Ye, but as members of a top-ranking Night Watch squad, they naturally knew his name.

He also heard that Jiang Ye was not only a proxy for the two gods, but also a seed for becoming a god by fusing with the origin of the God of Death.

Once, Chuan Jing instantly killed a follower of the Ancient God Church who was at a higher level than him; now, Hai Jing… isn't that…?

Seeing that the entire 007 team was stunned, Lin Qiye stared at them wide-eyed, "What... happened to you guys?"

Guang Qingsheng realized what was happening, reached out to pick up the paper cup, waved his hand and said, "We're not fighting anymore."

He finally understood why the Sword Saint had offered words of comfort in his letter; it was a complete crushing of their pride!

Lin Qiye and the others: "..."

Jiang Ye shrugged helplessly.

Lin Qiye's lips twitched, and he looked at Jiang Ye speechlessly, saying, "I knew I shouldn't have mentioned your name."

"Is it my fault?" Jiang Ye smiled, resting his chin on his hand.

Lin Qiye: “…”

But to become a special team, they still had to fight this battle, so Lin Qiye discussed it with Guang Qingsheng again.

But the 007 team seemed reassured and resolutely refused, acting as if we were there to bully them.

Jiang Ye watched from the side, waiting for a phone call.

The phone call from the 'voyeur'...

Jingle Bell!

Just as Jiang Ye was thinking, Guang Qingsheng, who was dealing with Lin Qiye, received a phone call.

His face darkened immediately upon hearing the bell.

Needless to say, another 'mysterious' event has occurred.

"Hello." Guang Qingsheng answered the phone.

"Okay, I know."

A moment later, he hung up the phone and said to Lin Qiye with a smile, "Captain Lin, it's not that I'm unwilling to spar with you, but a mysterious incident has occurred in Huaihai City. As for the sparring..."

Guang Qingsheng glanced at Jiang Ye and said, "Let's talk about it later."

He turned to his team members and said, "Grab your things, let's go."

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lin Qiye grabbed Guang Qingsheng's arm. "How about we change the way we spar?"

Guang Qingsheng was taken aback. "What method?"

Lin Qiye smiled mysteriously, "Let's see who can kill that mysterious creature they mentioned on the phone first!"

"This will reduce your stress, protect your self-esteem... oh wait, I mean, and not waste your time."

Lin Qiye said apologetically.

The entire 007 squad wore dark expressions.

Guang Qingsheng thought about it for a moment. After all, the Sword Saint's reputation was there, so this sparring match still had to be held.

Even better than this, this mystery is no ordinary mystery.

"Okay, we'll take it."

Guang Qingsheng briefly recounted what happened.

"Due to the short time since the mystery was discovered, the only information available at present is..."

"It possesses extremely high stealth and mobility, is humanoid, and has a super high intelligence, always able to avoid all dangers in closed and sealed environments."

"The only place I ever witnessed it was at the East End Grand Theatre!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the black box, and the entire 007 team disappeared into the office building.

Lin Qiye remained calm and looked at An Qingyu.

The latter pushed up his glasses and fell into thought.

Baili Pangpang glared at him. "Aren't we going to set off yet? Are we just going to let him gain the upper hand like this?"

Jiang Ye stood up with a smile and patted Baili Pangpang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, they rely on manual labor, you have to believe in metaphysics."

"Perhaps if you make a sacrifice, that mystery will come to us on its own."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye and the others all looked at Baili Pangpang, especially Shen Qingzhu and Cao Yuan, whose brows furrowed.

But they then shook their heads, having reviewed the situation, and concluded it was purely a coincidence.

The last time we entered Cangnan, it was a rift opened by the Ancient God Church using forbidden objects, and Baili Pangpang just happened to guess it correctly.

But even though they didn't believe it, it didn't stop Baili Pangpang's eyes from lighting up.

"Brother Jiangye, I understand!"

Baili Pangpang still trusted Jiang Ye's belief in metaphysics.

Snapped!

Baili Pangpang knelt down, clasped his hands together, and said, "Great God of Sacrifice, I am willing to sacrifice Brother Zhai..."

"You fat bastard, try saying that!"

Baili Pangpang was startled and quickly looked at Cao Yuan.

As a result, Cao Yuan slowly moved his hand closer to the hilt of his sword, showing signs of drawing it at any moment.

Baili Pangpang swallowed hard, then shifted his gaze to Lin Qiye, whereupon his eyes lit up.

"Great God of Sacrifice, I am willing to exchange seven nights of solitude and ten years of single life for that mysterious being who will appear before us on its own initiative."

Garan: "..."
