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

On the hilltop, the gale subsided, and large swaths of green leaves drifted down.

Han Shaoyun slowly sheathed the halberd that had killed without leaving a trace of blood, and looked at the three corpses on the ground with their hearts pierced.

He strode forward, about to use the Divine Ruins to obliterate the corpse.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure came from afar.

Han Shaoyun paused, then looked up at the sky.

Zuo Qing, draped in a dark red cloak, stood in mid-air, holding a straight sword.

To the left of Qing's side was Wang Mian, wearing a mask with the character "王" (king) on ​​it, his body shimmering with sword energy.

Both of them are at the pinnacle of human potential. This place is not far from the training camp, and just now Han Shaoyun unleashed the violent energy of the great wind disaster.

They could naturally sense it, but... they were still a step too late.

Zuo Qing and Wang Mian stared at the three corpses on the ground, dressed in recruit uniforms and still bleeding.

Swish!

"Han Shaoyun, do you know what you're doing?!" Zuo Qing pointed his straight sword at Han Shaoyun and questioned him loudly.

Han Shaoyun frowned, looked at the three corpses, and slowly spoke.

"Do what I should do, do what I have a clear conscience..."

"What a fine statement of 'having a clear conscience'!" Zuo Qing's tone was filled with anger. "Back when you were imprisoned in the fasting quarters, Commander Ye pleaded with the various high-ranking members of the Night's Watch on your behalf, which is how you were reinstated."

"What are you doing now?! You quit the Night's Watch just to kill the new recruits in the training camp, the seeds of the future Great Xia Night's Watch?"

"You! Do you deserve the mercy and compassion of the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Manifestations who saved you back then? Do you deserve the opportunity that Commander Ye gave you?"

"You... how can you face the child in your wife's womb? You want the child to be born knowing that his father is a traitor to the Great Xia?!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Han Shaoyun trembled and clenched his fists tightly.

"I... am not a traitor!"

"Then why did you kill the new recruits?"

"They deserve to die! They are..."

Before Han Shaoyun could finish speaking, Zuo Qing heard the words "they deserve to die" and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

With a swift movement, he placed a long sword against Han Shaoyun's neck.

"If you have anything to say, Commander Ye will personally interrogate you when you return to the fasting camp!"

Han Shaoyun was taken aback, and then fell silent.

He cannot be bound yet; his mission with Jiang Ye is not yet fully complete.

He looked up at Zuo Qing, whose face was contorted with rage, and said in a deep voice, "Myriad Manifestations - Scatter..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shaoyun's body transformed into countless blue and white light spots and dissipated into space.

Zuo Qing and Wang Mian were stunned and quickly tried to stop him, but to no avail.

Han Shaoyun disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in the space.

"After I finish what I need to do, I will go to see Commander Ye in person."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing frowned and looked at the three corpses on the ground.

Han Shaoyun's last sentence puzzled him.

Could there be something wrong with these three new recruits?

However, the Night's Watch's relevant departments have conducted multiple reviews of the recruits' information, so there shouldn't be any problems.

He turned to Wang Mian and said, "You should go back first. You have a match against [Nightfall] this afternoon. I'll handle things here."

Wang Mian nodded, then transformed into a gray afterimage and disappeared from the spot.

After Wang left, Zuo Qing picked up the phone and asked the instructor to clean up the scene and verify the recruits' identities.

"We must re-verify their identities."

"Understood, Secretary Zuo."

Zuo Qing hung up the phone and waited for the instructors to arrive before leaving.

Shangjing, the headquarters of the Night Watch.

Zuo Qing, carrying the identity documents of the three deceased recruits, walked into Ye Fan's office.

"What? Han Shaoyun murdered the new recruits?"

After listening to Zuo Qing's explanation, Ye Fan frowned and looked at the identity documents of the three new recruits.

Zuo Qing explained from the side, "I saw it with my own eyes, and I also investigated the identities of these three new recruits afterward, and found no problems."

"There is just one point of doubt."

Ye Fan: "What's suspicious?"

Zuo Qing continued, "The forbidden realms of these three new recruits are all very ordinary. It can be said that they have no combat ability and are more inclined to support."

"If I were Han Shaoyun, my first target for eliminating the seeds of the Great Xia would be either the agent of the gods or the owner of an extremely dangerous forbidden realm."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan glanced at the three documents again and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Conduct a thorough investigation of all the files of this year's new recruits, and also..."

Ye Fan paused for a moment, then said, "Send someone to bring Han Shaoyun back. I want to question him myself."

The first reason for bringing Han Shaoyun back was to find out the truth, and the second was to prevent such things from happening again.

Although the Great Xia now has a six-month respite, it still cannot withstand further turmoil.

"Yes, Commander Ye."

Zuo Qing accepted the order and left the office.

……

Deep in the mountains, Han Shaoyun sat by a stream, a silver halberd standing beside him.

"Heavenly Venerable One, what is my next task?"

He asked in a slightly low voice.

The blue and white phantom floating in front of him stared at him.

"You have something on your mind?"

Han Shaoyun raised his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then told Jiang Ye what had just happened.

The latter smiled faintly, "Feeling wronged?"

"...A little bit." Han Shaoyun nodded.

Even though he killed members of the Church of the Ancient Gods and stopped them from killing new recruits, he was the one who was reprimanded.

He wanted to explain, but people always believe what they see with their own eyes.

Han Shaoyun gradually understood the helplessness of the night watchmen Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui, who were imprisoned in the fasting place.

"Don't worry about it, time will prove whether it's good or bad."

Jiang Ye spoke slowly, then stretched out his hand, and a wisp of blue-white light shot into Han Shaoyun's brow.

"This is your next phase of the task."

After he finished speaking, the blue and white phantom floating in the void vanished in an instant.

Han Shaoyun sensed the information in his mind, and his expression became slightly complicated.

—Pamir Plateau, Kunlun Ruins!
