Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
Fang Ji, holding the moonlight project contract in one hand, stood on the city wall, gazing at the rapidly departing white shadow in the distance. He murmured to himself, "I... I just didn't want to go with you, I didn't say I didn't want to go by myself! Damn Calamity!"
Before Calamity and Bai Kai delivered this moonlight project contract to him and explained the Night Watch's conditions for pardoning his crimes, he had never considered staying long-term within the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
Indeed, Calamity had invited him to leave together several times in the past few days. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
However, he had no intention of leaving before re-condensing the miracle flower from the fragrance of the miracle flower on the residents of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
When he was still the Miracle Saint, leading the Miracle Order, the Miracle Order had offended too many Psychic and urban legend. Now, without the blessing of the miracle flower, those enemies would surely come knocking to settle scores with him.
Even if he left the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, it would be difficult to guarantee his safety...
More importantly, ever since Nanling Yaohua disappeared, Calamity seemed to have developed hysteria, muttering to himself all day, sometimes talking to the air, sometimes ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ writing and drawing in a small notebook, and sometimes forcing others to greet the non-existent Nanling Yaohua...
This was still the early stage of the "illness." If it worsened later, who knew what bizarre and terrifying actions that guy would take.
Perhaps one day, when his "invisible friends" get bored, he'll make people around him pretend to be Nanling Yaohua, or simply take action and transform you into Nanling Yaohua.
To some extent, given Fang Ji's beautiful appearance, it wasn't impossible to forcibly transform him into "Nanling Yaohua."
In summary.
Who would dare to travel with Calamity?!
However, Fang Ji never expected that his repeated rejections of Calamity would lead Calamity to mistakenly believe that he had fallen in love with the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate...
He wanted to correct this mistake!
But.
Calamity was too good at bluffing... He systematically analyzed the pros and cons of signing the contract and staying at the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, and with Bai Kai playing the good cop, he was so dazed that he believed it. By the time he came to his senses, he realized he had already signed the moonlight project contract, and it was too late.
"..."
Forget it! At this point, it's all my fault for committing crimes, and I deserve to be punished...
Moreover, I don't have to stay in the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate forever; this is, at most, a fixed-term imprisonment.
Once the sentence is over, the world is vast; where can I not go?
Fang Ji comforted himself in his heart, but as he thought, his eyes suddenly reddened.
The tears were not from sadness, but probably just from the wind and sand in his eyes.
Outside the city wall, on the dark desert, a fierce wind arose, and the vast yellow sand surged in the wind, like dragons and snakes rising from the ground, harboring killing intent, and then gradually returning to the sky.
Thus, the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, which had carried thousands of years of history and countless stories, after a brief appearance, re-entered the Gobi Desert, continuing to fulfill its duty of guardianship...

"Calamitys Death countdown: 110h43m55s"
Mountain City, Kui Gate.
Under the cover of night, and with Bai Kai's lightning speed, Lu Yibei successfully arrived outside the walls of Sanxia Mental Hospital.
Although Fang Ji had guaranteed that Jiang Li was not in danger, and even that she had ultimately subdued that Miracle Order member and taken him away, that was merely Fang Ji's one-sided account and could not be entirely trusted.
This was the last place Jiang Li appeared before her disappearance. After being able to barely use the special ability of her eyes, she felt it necessary to personally confirm the situation at the time.
"Xiao Bei..." Bai Kai said to Lu Yibei, "Hurry up, remember you only have three minutes. After three minutes, you must meet me here no matter what, understand?"
"En, don't worry, Shui Ge..." Lu Yibei nodded, "I'm just going to briefly confirm the situation; it won't take long."
On the way here, Bai Kai had already clearly explained the situation to her.
Although Bai Kai used some of his connections from the nightlife scene to divert the agents in the area where Jiang Li disappeared, Sanxia Mental Hospital, as the largest prison for Spiritual Energy criminals and special urban legend in the Night Watch's southwest region, was as heavily guarded as an iron barrel, with an absurd number of complex and dangerous solidified Spell circuits.
Even if Lu Yibei hid herself perfectly, within three or four minutes, her disguise would be seen through, triggering an alarm, and she would then be trapped and unable to escape.
Indeed, with her current Calamity-level strength, there was a possibility of a forced breakthrough, but she was currently being watched by various Spiritual Energy organizations, so it was best not to cause any further trouble.
The time she would be restricted by Sanxia Mental Hospital would be enough for various forces to gather there.
After sending a message to her Coat through the Servant's Mark, instructing the Coat to transform into a Sanxia Mental Hospital nurse's uniform, Lu Yibei lightly tapped her toes on the ground, instantly soaring up and leaping over the nearly five-meter-high thick wall.
After watching Lu Yibei leave, Bai Kai leaned against the corner of the wall and pulled out a cigarette pack from his Pregnant.
"Click!"
"Hiss..."
He had just lit the cigarette with his lighter when the spark on the cigarette, as if influenced by some mysterious force, quietly extinguished.
He frowned slightly and pressed the lighter again.
Light again, extinguish again.
Bai Kai was stunned for a moment, then realized that Nanling Yaohua was behind it.
"Xiao Hua? You didn't go in with Xiao Bei? Tsk, don't mess around, Uncle Master is under a lot of pressure, let Uncle Master relax."
As his voice fell, a small stone suddenly flew up from the ground and gently hit a nearby sign—"No Smoking."
Bai Kai, "..."
In a trance, as if hallucinating, he seemed to see Nanling Yaohua with her hands on her hips, pouting at him.
"I won't smoke, I won't smoke..." Bai Kai mumbled, putting away his cigarette pack. After a brief silence, he said, "Xiao Hua, I'm sorry. If I had known, I should have told you about Xiao Bei when you first came to Hua City. If I had told you then..."
Recently, he always felt that he was somewhat responsible for Nanling Yaohua becoming like this. If he hadn't tried to conceal the matter of Lu Yibei devouring the witchs egg and subsequently becoming a urban legend when Nanling Yaohua first arrived in Hua City, but had told her truthfully, perhaps everything would have been different.
"Rustle, rustle."
The sound of a pencil scratching on paper sounded, and soon a line of small characters appeared before Bai Kai.
"At that time, I might have killed her."
After reading it, Bai Kai was slightly stunned. He knew that Nanling Yaohua was telling the truth.
Nanling Yaohua grew up with Nanling Qifeng from a young age, accustomed to the terrifying dangers of various urban legend. Her upbringing determined her righteous and vengeful personality. It was entirely possible for her to end her urban legend-transformed fiancé with a single sword stroke, helping him "find release."
The reason for her change in mindset was at least 30% due to witnessing Lu Yibei activate the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and directly confront the Plague Tai Sui's clone, saving Hua City. The remaining 69% was entirely due to her experiences in Dream City...
"I have to say, Wang Meili is truly a master at handling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships," Bai Kai laughed.
"Rustle, rustle."
"Uncle Master, why don't you smoke?"
Although he couldn't see her, based on his rich emotional history, Bai Kai judged that Nanling Yaohua must have been blushing at this moment...
----
Leaping over the thick wall and landing steadily on the grass, Lu Yibei immediately felt an uncomfortable sense of oppression assailing her from all directions.
It was as if the brightness had been lowered, and her vision suddenly darkened...
In unseen places, countless malicious eyes seemed to be scrutinizing her.
Those eyes were lifeless, seemingly belonging to no living creature, nor were they urban legend; they were cold, like machines.
In the building not far away, red or green lights flickered in the dim corridor.
A cold wind faintly carried chilling sounds.
Wails, roars, and sobs were interspersed, along with the scraping sound of sharp objects on metal, bringing to mind images of emaciated women in hospital gowns scratching metal ward doors with their sharp fingernails, leaving behind streaks.
She wondered if a door would suddenly open later, and a sea of blood would pour out? Lu Yibei complained, took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and then sprinted towards the side door of the nearby building.
There was an area where the surveillance had been damaged by an intruder, and that was where Jiang Li had disappeared.
After crossing the grass and quickly passing through a short corridor, Lu Yibei stopped, frowning as she gazed at the tiled ground of the patio between the two buildings.
The pristine white tiles were covered in cracks of varying depths, colors, and shades of black and purple, as if corroded by some highly corrosive substance. Clustered among these cracks was a deep pit, seemingly caused by a heavy object impacting the ground.
Her gaze swept over the cracks, and the Goddess Beiling Seal unfolded, activating the special ability of her eyes.
As a flame-colored halo spread in her eyes, and everything in her sight was enveloped in a dim yellow, Lu Yibei saw a figure, like a cannonball, shoot out from inside the building, heavily smashing onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled a few times on the ground, and just as he was about to get up, an uncomfortable faint purple light illuminated the surroundings, and a light purple mist quietly permeated the air.
Following closely, grotesquely large venomous snakes, scorpions, and colorful insects quietly emerged from the mist, surrounding the man, their dense eyes pulsing with crimson light.
Upon seeing this, the man instantly froze, not daring to move.
The winding, crawling venomous snakes and insects, merely by the trace amounts of venom seeping from their bodies, were enough to leave trails on the tiles, indicating the terrifying potency of the poison contained within them.
"Punishment of the Third Calamity: Scorpion Pit!"
Jiang Li, clad in a green armor, slowly emerged from the darkness and calmly pressed the blade of her long saber against the man's throat, stating expressionlessly, "I've confirmed that what you just said is true. You do know my mother's whereabouts. I can go with you, but..."
Jiang Li's words abruptly ceased in her ears, and Lu Yibei suddenly retreated explosively. After stabilizing herself, she looked at the shadow near where she had just stood, her expression grim.
Just a second ago, as she heard the crucial part, a premonition flashed through her mind as if she had been electrocuted—"He sent a hidden blade from the shadows towards the back of your neck."
However, when she hurriedly dodged and prepared to engage the enemy, she found no one in that shadow, nor any trace of Spiritual Energy residue.
It felt as if the opponent had anticipated her premonition and stopped the attack beforehand...
