330: Pray for Zhou Ping every day!

The reddish-green poisonous blood continuously eroded the blade of Yi Yuan.

The blade aura it could emit grew weaker and weaker. Hua Jing also sensed Yi Yuan's weakness, and more and more fleshy tentacles wrapped around it, frantically dismantling the Law of Time imprinted within the blade.

“Heh heh, it seems your limit is almost reached.”

Loki watched the light on Yi Yuan's body gradually dim. He knew that it wouldn't be long before the Law of Time within it would be completely exhausted.

At that time, the key, Hua Jing, would be completely unleashed.

After helping Chen Lu with this favor, it would naturally not be difficult for him to borrow some of the fallen powers in Takamagahara.

With Cthulhu's power as support, he would have even more confidence in persuading Olympus and the Tian Shen Temple.

As for what Chen Lu said about Breakthrough to the Ascension Realm, although Loki yearned for it deeply, he also knew that one must walk step by step and eat bite by bite.

He hadn't even reached the Realm of a Supreme God, yet he was already thinking about breaking the shackles of ascension; it was a bit too hasty.

At this moment, Chen Lu had fully recovered his body. Looking at the dying Yi Yuan, a hint of madness and a smile appeared in his eyes.

“Hahaha, the cycle locking this place is finally coming to an end. The great Cthulhu will finally descend and devour everything in this world.”

He turned his head and said to Loki, “My friend, you’ve helped me greatly this time. My promise will not change.”

Loki smiled and said, “So, what are your plans next?”

Upon hearing Loki's question, Chen Lu immediately showed a triumphant expression, “Next, I will merge with Hua Jing, just like my ancestors, and completely become the key to opening Takamagahara.”

Loki nodded and said nothing.

...

High above Ningchang County, eight dark specks grew closer and closer.

If one observed carefully, they would find that they were eight figures: seven wearing gray cloaks, and one dressed as an ordinary person, except that ordinary person had a sword on his back.

“Senior Sword Saint, I didn't expect you to come to Ningchang County with us this time,” Whirlpool said excitedly.

Sword Saint Zhou Ping was a legend to all Night Watchers.

Zhou Ping's expression was serious, and he didn't immediately answer Whirlpool's words. Instead, he carefully looked at his watch.

“Three, two, one…”

Zhou Ping softly began to count down. The moment he finished saying “one,” the second hand on his watch moved to its starting point.

Now, it was exactly midnight.

A new day had begun.

Zhou Ping put his palms together, his eyes filled with immense reverence.

His lips trembled slightly, saying something unknown, but this process did not last long. Soon, Zhou Ping lowered his hands.

Zhou Ping looked at Whirlpool, smiled, and said, “I don't have much talent; I can only do what I can. As long as I don't hold you back, I'm already very happy.”

Hearing Zhou Ping's words, the originally cheerful and sunny Whirlpool was momentarily at a loss for words.

The dignified Great Xia Sword Saint saying he had no talent?

Then what was he?

Whirlpool fell into deep self-doubt, and the other Mask Squad members also couldn't help but laugh.

“Senior Sword Saint! What were you… doing just now?” Seeing the atmosphere get a bit awkward, Captain Wang Mian changed the subject.

“Oh, you mean just now? That was prayer. Whenever a new day arrives, I pray.” Zhou Ping had no intention of hiding anything and openly explained the matter.

“Prayer?” Wang Mian looked at Zhou Ping with a strange gaze. After some time apart, he felt that this Great Xia Sword Saint was even more unfathomable.

“May I ask who you pray to?” Curiosity made Wang Mian unable to resist asking further.

“It's Song Zhong! Don't you know?” Zhou Ping looked at Wang Mian with some confusion, “Although I started praying long before he became the Lord of Great Xia's Luck, this kind of thing isn't a secret anymore, is it?

After all, the entire Great Xia already knows of his existence.”

“Ah!” Wang Mian laughed awkwardly, thinking to himself that it was indeed so.

The rest of the Mask Squad members looked at Zhou Ping. Although praying to Song Zhong was already a common thing.

But even the human ceiling did it, which still surprised them a little.

And listening to what Senior Zhou Ping said, he had already established contact with Song Zhong long ago?

Whirlpool, who had been silenced by Zhou Ping earlier, found common ground again.

“Eh? Senior Zhou Ping, you also pray to Song Zhong? I do too, but I feel the effect is average. So far, the most I've won from a lottery ticket is two hundred yuan.”

Whirlpool started to giggle again.

And Zhou Ping casually began chatting with Whirlpool.

Wang Mian looked at Zhou Ping, it seemed this taciturn human ceiling's personality was starting to change.

Wang Mian smiled knowingly, and then the dark cloud in his heart pressed down again.

Ningchang County arrived.

They had already arrived at the sea area above the fishing village.

The roaring waves made sounds in the dark night. Without light, this sea area brought an even heavier sense of oppression.

And before setting off, Wang Mian had a vague, indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was this feeling that made him not dare to delay for a moment, rushing to Ningchang County immediately.

And Zhou Ping, who was stationed with them at the war pass, also followed along.

“Captain! We've already contacted the local Night Watchers. They've protected the survivors with the Boundless Empty Domain,” Vice Captain Balance said. “What should we do next?”

Wang Mian pondered for a moment and immediately said, “Balance, you take the other team members to immediately support the local Night Watchers. Make sure to transfer the survivors to a safe place.

Senior Zhou Ping and I will first investigate the situation here.”

Balance hesitated for a moment and asked, “Captain, do we not need to leave some people to help?”

Wang Mian shook his head firmly, “No need. Oh, and remember, try to transfer the survivors as far away as possible, the farther the better.”

Balance said no more and immediately led the other squad members to participate in the rescue.

On the dark sea surface, only Wang Mian and Zhou Ping were left.

Zhou Ping looked at Wang Mian and said, “Wang Mian, have you sensed something?”

Wang Mian gave a wry smile and said, “I think I know why my heart was so uneasy before we set off.”

Wang Mian drew his straight blade and pointed to a certain area of the sea.

“Although very faint, I indeed sensed the power of the Law of Time here.”

“The Law of Time?” Zhou Ping was a bit surprised, “The only Time God still active is the one behind you, right?”

Wang Mian shook his head, “If this place is related to him, why would he be meddling in the territory of Great Xia?”

As the two were wondering, suddenly, two unexpected guests appeared on the distant sea.

Wang Mian frowned and looked over, finding that it was a man and a woman walking towards them.
