“Hey, the food at the Longxiang Army Camp is pretty good! Roast lamb leg, mare's milk wine, and fruit...” Lu Yibei said, cutting a large piece of lamb with a small knife and stuffing it into her mouth. Then she frowned and said, “They only put salt as seasoning, too gay, failed!”
“It was roasted over an open fire, burnt on the outside, and still a bit raw on the inside, failed!”
“Damn it, the most essential fatty part didn’t even get roasted to fragrant perfection, it was all wasted, a failure among failures!”
Watching Lu Yibei critique the “Long Xiang Army working al” in a professional manner, Shen Baiwei rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, “Do you really think you’re so great chef?”
“Ah—!” Lu Yibei exclaid softly, pointing the small knife with the lamb on it at Shen Baiwei and saying, “You’re absolutely right about that. I, though unworthy, am indeed the annual best graduate from the kitchen of the renowned Liao Zhai Tavern, and the sole legitimate heir of Lus Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant.”
Shen Baiwei, “...” Damn it! She was so angry that she forgot about this.
She was seething with anger, initially wanting to vent on the perpetrator, Disaster, but not only did she fail to vent her anger on Disaster, it was even bounced back at her.
“You’re ‘under house arrest’ in the Longxiang Army Camp, aren’t you anxious or worried at all? From the tragic state of Yun Pass a thousand years later, the Long Xiang Army is almost certainly going to be defeated. When the Shaman King’s army enters, everyone will be finished!”
“I know you’re anxious, but don’t be anxious yet...” Lu Yibei pouted and said, “But we can’t just run away, can we? That guy outside won’t agree.”
Besides, I’m even more anxious than you!
Although you probably don’t rember, I clearly rember the ssage from Naless Book brought by Void.”
Forty-eight hours... I wonder if it’s still in ti? Lu Yibei thought.
“I...” Shen Baiwei hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei raised the lamb in her hand and said expressionlessly, “Alright, don’t think so much. Want so? This is lamb we got for free from the Nanling Commander!”
“No!” Shen Baiwei growled angrily, then got up and left the tent.
Although she left the tent, she couldn’t escape the Longxiang Army Camp, but she really didn’t want to stay with Disaster anymore.
Not for a mont!

Prosperity Beijing, Si Ye Hui Headquarters, in the office next to Observation Room No. 2.
Naless Book sat behind the floor-to-ceiling one-way glass wall, staring expressionlessly at the data changes on the large screen in the observation room. One hand held a thick stack of docunts, and the other rested on her thigh, her fingers tapping restlessly on her knee.
The major Spiritual Energy forces deeply entangled with the Miracle Order violated their agreent with the Night Watch three hours and fourteen minutes ago and infiltrated Z Country. Just three minutes after they arrived near Yun Pass, the relevant report was sent to Naless Book’s desk.
White God Group Rin winter, Kasuga Grand Shrine’s Junior Priestess Fujiwara Keika, Aptya Doji Ten...
Familiar nas appeared before her eyes, giving Naless Book a headache.
A Calamity Psychic, plus two top A-Level Psychic, and a bunch of Assassins who had already erased their nas and pasts when they joined the Assassins sect, gathered together, definitely constituted a formidable fighting force.
Even knowing the grievances between these major Spiritual Energy forces and the Miracle Order, it’s hard not to suspect that their goal is to destroy Yun Pass.
These shaless scoundrels! Naless Book thought fiercely, and as if echoing her, Zhang Huainan’s voice suddenly sounded behind her.
“These sons of bitches, it seems they finally couldn’t hold back! We even gave them so much aid before, and now they’re repaying kindness with enmity. Are they really not afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Naless Book turned to look at Zhang Huainan, her brows slightly furrowed.
Although she wouldn’t curse like Zhang Huainan, at this mont she and Zhang Huainan had the sa thought—that the major Spiritual Energy forces were repaying kindness with enmity.
And what Zhang Huainan said about “being struck by lightning” wasn’t just a curse or complaint, but he really intended to return to Da Chunyang Palace and activate Zixiao Platform.
As for whether he would activate it alone or with the Elders of Da Chunyang Palace, it would depend on whether he had truly developed a killing intent.
“Don’t be impulsive yet, there might still be room for maneuver,” Naless Book comforted.
“Room for maneuver, my ass!” Zhang Huainan said indignantly, “If they really make a move, you know better than I if there’s any room for maneuver.”
Naless Book, “...”
In fact, as the data manager of the Si Ye Hui Headquarters, she knew even better than Zhang Huainan what the major Spiritual Energy forces wanted to do after seeing that list.
Simply put, they wanted to drag the Night Watch into trouble.
Six years ago, as the night began to lengthen and the number of urban legend worldwide surged, at first, Spiritual Energy forces around the world, like the Night Watch, tried their best to prevent the spread of urban legend rumors and prevent the impact of urban legend incidents from expanding.
But now, six years later, although the Night Watch is still largely the sa as six years ago, many Spiritual Energy forces are clearly on the verge of collapse, with their decline gradually becoming apparent.
According to data collected by the Night Watch in the past year alone, the number of urban legend sighting videos and articles circulating online has increased by 183.2% compared to last year, and the growth rate is chilling.
And the number of distress calls received by the Night Watch in the past year has nearly doubled compared to last year.
The reason why the Night Watch has been able to prevent the widespread spread of urban legend legends and incidents within Z Country under such circumstances is largely due to the existence of special passes like Shanhai Pass and Yun Pass, which guard one side.
The major Spiritual Energy forces that infiltrated Z Country during this Yun Pass crisis are on the verge of collapse. In their jurisdictions, abandoned areas similar to the Plague Tai Sui Close the restricted area have clearly increased in the past one or two years.
Of course, the situation of these major Spiritual Energy forces is already considered relatively good.
In so extrely harsh regions, there have even been discussions about preparing to coexist with urban legend. So clues indicate that behind this, there is a more terrifying force originating from the Eclipse Society, secretly pushing...
At this ti, if Yun Pass could be rendered ineffective, allowing a large number of urban legend to pour into Z Country, although it would be detrintal to the Night Watch, it could relieve the pressure on the surrounding major Spiritual Energy forces from the annually increasing urban legend incidents.
It’s like a bucket of contaminated water, full of bacteria and fungi. Instead of disinfecting and filtering it, they think about pouring the sewage into a larger water tank with more water, temporarily making the water appear clearer.
Everyone is about to collapse, why can your Night Watch remain unscathed? If there’s trouble, of course, everyone should bear it together!
Before this, Naless Book had thought that although the major Spiritual Energy forces had such an idea, they wouldn’t actually put it into action, but unexpectedly...
If the Yun Pass crisis cannot be resolved, they might really destroy Yun Pass.
“Buzz—buzz—!”
Just as Naless Book was pondering, the phone on the adjacent desk suddenly vibrated. Before she could even get up to grab it, Zhang Huainan, standing by the desk, casually picked up the phone.
A ssage was displayed on the phone, and the sender’s note was 【Void】.
Zhang Huainan glanced at the sender’s note, then gave Naless Book a aningful look, and then, as if he had seen nothing, silently handed the phone to her.
Taking the phone from Zhang Huainan, Naless Book’s heart skipped a beat as soon as she glanced at it. After secretly observing Zhang Huainan’s expression out of the corner of her eye, she turned her back without a word and unlocked the phone.
As the phone unlocked with a prompt tone, the ssage sent by Void, risking being located by the Night Watch, appeared before her eyes.
“Void: “Sorry, the second ssage couldn’t be sent through. Now there are several extrely powerful Psychic around Yun Pass, and sothing unexpected seems to have happened inside Yun Pass; even the South City Wall has cracked.”
After reading it, Naless Book’s expression instantly beca solemn.
She wasn’t too concerned that the major Spiritual Energy forces had already reached the vicinity of Yun Pass; what she cared more about were the words “the South City Wall has cracked.”
This ant that the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate had been damaged, and whatever was suppressed inside was about to co out!
That wasn’t just the problem of the two legendary Calamity-Level beings, but also the urban legend that hadn’t been digested within the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, and the high-intensity night erosion...
Zhang Huainan stretched his neck towards Naless Book’s phone and asked, “What does the ssage say? Let see?”
Naless Book trembled slightly, glanced at Zhang Huainan behind her, and with lightning speed, pressed the ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) phone screen against her leg.
She looked as if she were a young girl in an early romance, secretly texting her boyfriend and getting caught by her parents.
“Don’t be so petty!” Zhang Huainan continued to pester, “It’s just a ssage from Void, isn’t it? I won’t tell anyone! Don’t forget, I was the one who asked you to find Him in the first place.”
Hearing this, Naless Book still didn’t hand the phone to Zhang Huainan, only saying expressionlessly, “Nothing, it just says that the South City Wall of Yun Pass has a crack.”
“The South City Wall? The one that those The Torch Bearers seniors once repaired?” Zhang Huainan frowned.
“Precisely!” Naless Book nodded slightly, “So, I plan to go to Yun Pass again. Perhaps being closer, I can contact Lord Bing and Lord Huaiyuan who are inside the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.”
As her words fell, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations within her body suddenly surged.
Spiritual Energy, like a tide, surged from within her body, gathering in her left palm, and in a breath, transford into an ancient-looking book with a black cover and gilded edges, slightly thicker than a dictionary.
The book had no na, and when opened, it was blank.
Imdiately after, with a thought from Naless Book, another Spiritual Energy-condensed brush quietly appeared in her hand.
Then.
She took up the brush and wrote on the blank first page of the book in her hand: “At 1:03 AM in East Eight Zone, a woman in black nad Naless Book arrived at a low earthen mound in Sanlongsha, Dunhuang City, Z Country.”
As a line of delicate small seal script was written on the page, and then the ink gradually faded, completely disappearing in a breath, Naless Book, holding the book and brush, also vanished into thin air, along with the brush and phone.
Although she had originally intended to go to Yun Pass again, Zhang Huainan’s appearance undoubtedly accelerated her departure.
She didn’t want to spend another mont with Zhang Huainan.
This old thief is really too gossipy!
Zhang Huainan, “...”
