Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

Everyone fell silent as they looked at Han Shaoyun's body lying on the ruins, a relieved smile on his face.

From Han Shaoyun's words when they first met—that he witnessed his teammates being killed and seriously injured by members of the Ancient God Church—to his eventual threat to join the Ancient God Church himself, it's hard to imagine what this man has been through all these years.

"Captain, what's going on with Han Shaoyun? He was about to be killed by Ling Yue, so why did he tell Ling Yue and the others to be careful at the end?"

Hongying moved closer to Chen Muye, looking somewhat puzzled.

After a moment of silence, Chen Muye replied, "Just a pitiful person controlled by the Ancient God Church..." Chen Muye's tone was somewhat sad. As the captain, he could easily empathize with Han Shaoyun, who was also a captain but was controlled by him. It was because of this that he did not stop Ling Yue from killing Han Shaoyun.

In other words, even if Ling Yue didn't make a move, he would have done it anyway; it's just that Ling Yue was faster than him.

"But I saw that he was really serious, didn't I? I didn't see him hiding his strength either?" Hongying tilted her head. This Han Shaoyun died a really frustrating death. He was used by Ling Yue's violent fire spirit power. In other words, he killed himself.

Of course, it's also possible that Han Shaoyun saw through Ling Yue's scheme long ago, so he simply played along and 'killed' himself.

Before Chen Muye could respond, Wu Xiangnan, who was very knowledgeable about the situation, answered first: "The contract of the Ancient God Church is terrifying. It is said that after signing the contract, it will subtly change your soul, making the contracted person 'willingly' submit to the contractor while maintaining their nature."

Furthermore, even if the contractor is instructed to commit suicide, they will have no choice but to obey. And the contractor's death will also result in the contractor's death.

Ling Yue listened with a strange expression. This contract from the Ancient God Church sounded a bit like a summoning system from a novel? Unconditional submission to the contractor, and on the premise of never betraying them, maintaining the contractor's personality and preventing them from becoming a true puppet. Add to that the principle of "the master dies, the subject dies; the subject dies, the master does not die..."

"However, the only good news is that the ancient god church's contract that works on the soul and mind is extremely precious. It is certain that there are not many of them, otherwise the ancient god church would have already dominated the Great Xia."

"I have a question that I'm not sure I should ask," Lin Qiye said, raising his hand.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to ask them other questions, he heard Yuan Gang's voice from behind him.

"Such powerful battle marks, which Sea Realm expert caused them?" Yuan Gang walked over from a distance, but because the crowd blocked Han Shaoyun's corpse, he couldn't see it.

From behind Yuan Gang came Baili Pangpang's voice: "Brother Yue, Qiye. We've come to rescue you!"

Lin Qiye felt a warmth in his heart as he watched Baili Pangpang running over, panting heavily, along with Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu beside him.

"Huh? You killed him?!" It wasn't until Yuan Gang walked up to the group that he saw this scene.

The corpse before me was charred black, its face covered in blood, and it lay half-reclined in the ruins with a slight upturn at the corners of its mouth. A Night's Watch longsword was stuck in its heart, and its only remaining left arm hung limply on the ground, making it look indescribably miserable.

Chen Muyi pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded slightly. "That's right, we, 136, worked together to kill Han Shaoyun, the [Believer] and former captain of the Suzhou City team."

This was the best answer Chen Muyi came up with after quick thinking. This way, he could keep a trump card for Ling Yue without letting the higher-ups or the Ancient God Church know that Han Shaoyun had gone easy on him.

After all, Han Shaoyun worked so hard for the Ancient God Church to protect his team members. Now that he is dead, if the people of the Ancient God Church find out that Han Shaoyun deliberately let them go, they might retaliate against the surviving Night Watchers of Gusu City.

Ling Yue had no objection to this. After all, he had plenty of opportunities to show off, so this was no big deal. Besides, he was afraid that if he showed off too much, he would be targeted by the Ancient God Church. So, he should keep a low profile until he could transform into the Five Spirit Kings.

Ling Yue pondered that his biggest advantage now was knowing the original story's direction, but his appearance would definitely create a butterfly effect, leading to a different outcome from the original story. Moreover, he had only seen the part about Li Deyang in the original story and knew nothing about what happened afterward.

Thinking of this, Ling Yue sighed softly. To establish himself in this world where gods were everywhere, he needed immense strength. However, the only good news was that Ling Yue was confident that as long as he grew to the end, he would definitely be very strong. He wouldn't dare say he would surpass the protagonist, but he could certainly be invincible.

As for why Ling Yue is so confident, it's all thanks to the Five Spirit Kings in the animated series. After all, the power of the mind is simply unimaginable.

Hearing Chen Muye's answer, Yuan Gang felt a headache coming on. He had originally intended to find this Sea Realm expert and capture him alive, but he hadn't expected to be killed by Chen Muye and his group...

However, considering Chen Muye's reputation in the capital, he suppressed his impending outburst. After all, it would be unwise to oppose the Black Impermanence from years ago for the sake of a traitor's corpse.

"Alright, then I'll take Han Shaoyun's body with me, is that alright?" Yuan Gang chose to compromise, at least having Han Shaoyun's body would give him an explanation to the higher-ups.

“No problem. By the way, after it’s done, try to put his body in the Night Watchmen’s office in Suzhou City.” Chen Muye nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang nodded in response, saying, "No problem, these are the rules for us Night Watchmen."

Then Yuan Gang went forward, picked up Han Shaoyun's body and walked back. However, when he passed by the irregular giant crater blasted by the black and red sphere, he was a little puzzled. Why did he feel that the crater looked so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before?

"Let's go, this crisis is completely over. Let's go back and have a good New Year." Chen Muye waved and looked at Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu.

"You two must be Ling Yue and Qi Ye's friends, right? Since you can't go home either, why don't you come and sit with us?"

"Great! Captain Chen, I've long noticed your handsome appearance and refined demeanor. This Rolex watch is a perfect match for you!"

Baili Pangpang grinned and moved closer to Chen Muye, simultaneously pulling out a Rolex he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

Baili Pangpang's honeyed words left even the usually dignified Chen Muye speechless, and Zhao Kongcheng pushed Chen Muye aside.

"Hey bro, what do you think of me?"

"May I ask your honorable surname, sir?"

"Zhao Kongcheng, just call me Brother Zhao." Zhao Kongcheng was really looking forward to seeing how this chubby boy would praise him, but the ending disappointed him greatly.

"Brother Zhao, I've long noticed you're a handsome and distinguished man, and this green Submariner perfectly suits your style..."

Zhao Kongcheng was greatly disappointed. After hearing Baili Pangpang's words, which were exactly the same as those used to praise Chen Muye, his face immediately fell. He felt that he had been deceived by Baili Pangpang.

"I don't think our Night Watch Squad 136 welcomes you."
