Chapter 142 Fallen Holy Grail

Second floor of the villa, small conference room.

The setting sun slanted westward, and the bloody rays cast through the glass windows onto the conference room floor, dyeing the white wool carpet a crystalline red.

Li Dongze, Qing Teng, Bai Long, Tang Guoqiang, Da Jiba… several team leaders sat upright around the conference table. Almost all of the Kangyang District Spirit Realm Walker team leaders who could attend were present.

Besides the Five Elements Alliance team leaders, Yuan Ting, who had just returned from the capital, also attended the meeting.

As a scout, Li Dongze keenly noticed that Yuan Ting's mental state was poor and frowned, saying,

"Are you injured?"

Yuan Ting, pale-faced, leaned weakly against the back of the chair, closing his eyes to rest. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said with a steady expression,

"No, it's just that during this trip to the capital, Elder Sun paid great attention to me, believing that I would be a pillar of the Taiyi Sect in the future, and insisted on personally training me. I was overtrained, so my condition is not good."

Everyone was in awe.

Fu Qingyang glanced at him, made no comment, and said solemnly,

"Let's get down to business. What did Yuanshi see in Ou Xiangrong's memory that made you rush over here?"

Several team leaders immediately cast solemn glances at Li Dongze.

After leaving the morgue, this guy summoned everyone to the Centurion's place without explanation, saying there was a major event.

When asked what it was, he wouldn't say, making people anxious and impatient.

Li Dongze coughed and looked around the table, "Our Night Watcher learned from Ou Xiangrong's memory what the Holy Grail actually is. It's a tool of the Demon Eye Judge, and its full name is the Fallen Holy Grail."

"Demon Eye Judge… Fallen Holy Grail?"

The team leaders on both sides of the conference table couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions filled with solemnity and confusion.

The Demon Eye Judge is the vice president of the Spirit Ability Association, Eastern Branch.

The Spirit Ability Association is a notorious evil organization among Spirit Realm Walkers, composed of a group of powerful and crazy shaman, and the Demon Eye Judge, the vice president of the Eastern Branch, ranks eighth on the Five Elements Alliance's wanted list, a powerful figure capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

Unexpectedly, Ou Xiangrong's case involved such a high-level figure.

As for the confusion, it was because they had never heard of the Fallen Holy Grail tool.

"Ou Xiangrong was looking for the Demon Eye Judge's tool?" Da Jiba frowned, speaking bluntly, "That kid's brain is really not normal."

A mere Transcendent Realm Enchantment Demon dared to covet the tools of high-level Spirit Realm Walkers.

The crowd ignored Da Jiba's words and looked at Fu Qingyang.

Fu Qingyang was silent for a few seconds, his tone unusually solemn, "Next, I will disclose some intelligence to you, but with your level, you are not qualified to understand this level of information, so after leaving this room, keep it to yourselves."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but straighten their backs and adopt a serious expression.

"The Fallen Holy Grail is a rule-type tool for the shaman profession, extremely high-level. Its function is to control Spirit Realm Walkers. The Demon Eye Judge used this tool to enslave many Spirit Realm Walkers of other professions. A large part of the 'Fallen Ones' we deal with every year are created by the Demon Eye Judge. According to intelligence, once contaminated by the Fallen Holy Grail, they will be enslaved by the Demon Eye Judge for the rest of their lives, and only death can break free. There is no other way.

"In addition, those who are contaminated must undergo a Holy Grail baptism every once in a while, otherwise they will go mad and die."

Li Dongze "Mm"ed and took over the conversation, "Ou Xiangrong is a servant of the Demon Eye Judge."

In that case, things made sense, and the team leaders understood everything.

Bai Long nodded first, then frowned:

"What does this have to do with him killing Zhao Yingjun? Moreover, this doesn't seem like a major event."

"Zhao Yingjun is also a servant of the Demon Eye Judge. He was lurking in the Five Elements Alliance, ostensibly as a consultant to the Public Security Bureau, secretly helping the Demon Eye Judge scout for newcomers and acting as his accomplice." Li Dongze paused and said in an extremely serious tone,

"Not long ago, the Demon Eye Judge suddenly died, and his confidant, Black Impermanence (Hei Wuchang), hid with the Holy Grail and a roster containing the identity information of the Fallen Ones. Now, not only Fallen Ones like Ou Xiangrong, but also the Gu King, another vice president of the Spirit Ability Association's Eastern Branch, and his subordinate forces, are looking for Black Impermanence.

"After Black Impermanence gets the roster, he will definitely contact these Fallen Ones to receive the Demon Eye Judge's legacy. Zhao Yingjun's undercover identity is very important and he may have already contacted Black Impermanence. Therefore, Ou Xiangrong wanted to find out the whereabouts of Black Impermanence through Zhao Yingjun."

This… Everyone's minds went blank.

The Demon Eye Judge is a high-level Spirit Realm Walker. Such a big figure actually died?

The impact of this information was too great, and even the most composed Fu Qingyang looked dazed for a moment.

In the suffocating silence, Fu Qingyang knocked on the table and frowned:

"There are a large number of Fallen Ones on the Demon Eye Judge's roster. Black Impermanence is hiding with the roster and the Holy Grail. He can't accept all the 'servants.' Madmen like Ou Xiangrong who have lost their minds are not isolated cases."

Li Dongze smiled bitterly, "That's why I say it's a major event."

The team leaders felt heavy.

Fu Qingyang said:

"Black Impermanence is hiding in Songhai. Songhai will not be peaceful next. I will report the news to the Council of Elders as soon as possible and ask them to notify colleagues in various places to guard against the Fallen Ones losing control.

"Starting today, everyone's vacation is canceled, and you are not allowed to turn off your phones for 24 hours. Be on standby at any time."

The team leaders nodded with heavy hearts.

Fu Qingyang said with a sullen face,

"I want to criticize all of you for this incident. You were negligent, lax, and lacked vigilance."

Then, his expression softened, and he said,

"In the Ou Xiangrong incident, Yuanshi Tianzun made a great contribution. From killing Ou Xiangrong to asking the spirit and finding out that the Demon Eye Judge had died, he did it all. A group of experienced old people are not as good as a novice. As your superior, I feel very embarrassed."

Li Dongze and the others looked ashamed.

Ah? What? The new Night Watcher killed Ou Xiangrong, the Enchantment Demon?

Yuan Ting was stunned. He looked left and right and couldn't help but raise his hand, "Centurion Fu, are you saying that Chief Li's level 1 Night Watcher killed Ou Xiangrong?"

Li Dongze quietly straightened his chest and raised his chin.

Da Jiba exclaimed, "That kid has extremely strong combat talent. His future achievements are limitless. Maybe he can be promoted to the Saint Realm and become an Executive-level figure."

Several team leaders nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

Team Leader Qing Teng explained, "He was the first to discover Ou Xiangrong's whereabouts and decisively attacked. By the time we arrived, the battle was already over. Although Ou Xiangrong was already injured and mostly insane, it was still very difficult to kill him."

This, what kind of genius is this… Yuan Ting was stunned for a few seconds, and then his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.

Elder Sun is confused!!

Fu Qingyang didn't let the topic continue and said lightly,

"Dismissed."

Li Dongze and the others stood up and left their seats.

Yuan Ting didn't leave. After the team leaders left the conference room, he suppressed the surge of regret and annoyance and said,

"Centurion Fu, I need your help with something."

Fu Qingyang looked at him.

Yuan Ting explained, "This time, the sect master summoned us to the capital and announced a confidential message… The Demon Lord is dead."

Fu Qingyang was stunned. Then, his sculpted handsome face was filled with shock. Even the death of the Demon Eye Judge had not caused such a violent emotional fluctuation in him.

The Demon Lord, an ID that made all official Spirit Realm Walkers tremble with fear. He was a Fallen Night Watcher, with a perverse, cruel, and bloodthirsty nature. Because he was proficient in assassination and concealment, the number of Spirit Realm Walkers who died at his hands was countless.

During the Demon Lord's most arrogant period, the elders of official organizations had to be cautious and low-key, afraid to expose themselves in reality.

The evil organizations also hated this person because the Demon Lord killed without restraint, slaughtering both righteous and evil indiscriminately.

It wasn't until the beginning of last year that he encountered the female marshal of the White Tiger Legion in a high-level confrontation spirit realm. He was severely injured by that amazing and talented woman, and then disappeared.

"And then?" Fu Qingyang regained his indifference.

"The sect master gave us a mission to find the Demon Lord's successor. From two months ago until the end of this year, all newcomers who become Night Watchers are the targets of our screening." Yuan Ting said.

Fu Qingyang frowned slightly: "Even if a lucky person gets the Demon Lord's character card, it has nothing to do with the Demon Lord. Why does your sect master want to find him? Don't tell me it's because he cherishes talent."

After a Spirit Realm Walker dies, the spirit realm will clear all the "data" of the character and then look for a new owner for the character card.

When a high-level Spirit Realm Walker dies, some things will remain when the character card is formatted, perhaps a kind of welfare, or perhaps a certain authority.

This kind of character card is inherently stronger than ordinary character cards.

But in Fu Qingyang's view, this special feature was not enough to make the Taiyi Sect Master make such a big move. It should be known that even the Demon Lord himself was lower in level than that world's strongest Night Watcher.

Yuan Ting shook his head: "How would I know? I'm just following orders. There are only four rookies in Songhai who have been promoted to Night Watchers this year. One died in the spirit realm, and two joined the Taiyi Sect and were sent to the training camp. The last one is the one under Li Dongze. I want to interview him."

Fu Qingyang stared at Yuan Ting, his deep brown eyes sharp and profound.

Yuan Ting braced himself and met his gaze.

"Okay, but no matter what the result, you have to tell me first and are not allowed to take him to the capital privately."

.......

In front of his desk, Zhang Yuanqing turned on his computer, pondered for a long time, and shouted:

"Sister Guan Ya, how should I write the report?"

Guan Ya lowered her head and watched a drama, responding perfunctorily: "Didn't I send you the template? Just follow it."

"It's not a problem with the format, it's the content…" Zhang Yuanqing frowned.

He now had to write a report on killing Ou Xiangrong. What made him feel difficult was that if he hid the existence of the Red Dancing Shoes, it would be difficult for him to convincingly describe the process of killing Ou Xiangrong.

After all, this was not something that could be perfunctorily dealt with in a sentence or two.

"Oh, you're so annoying." Guan Ya turned her office chair nimbly, turned around, and said with a reproachful look: "What do you want to write?"

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment: "I want to reasonably highlight that I relied on my kingly aura to shock Ou Xiangrong, and then relied on my superb skills and wise mind to fight the Enchantment Demon for three hundred rounds, finally killing this demon who almost set off a bloody storm in Songhai."

The mixed-race beauty rolled her eyes:

"Instead of reasonably highlighting these non-existent things, why not reasonably lower Ou Xiangrong's IQ? You showed great quick-wittedness in the garage, why are you being stupid now?"

Ah, right, Ou Xiangrong's spirit was already abnormal, and he was seriously injured. As for to what extent, outsiders don't know. I can describe it as I please, anyway, he can't possibly rise from his coffin to defend himself… Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up:

"I understand, thank you, Sister Guan Ya."

He immediately started typing on the keyboard, describing Ou Xiangrong's madness and irrationality. At the same time, he already had a decision on how to deal with the Bloodthirsty Blade.

The Vajra Pestle's function was more inclined to purification and subduing demons, rather than close combat. The Bloodthirsty Blade undoubtedly made up for this shortcoming.

The built-in bleeding and armor-breaking effects were a perfect match for the Night Watcher's assassin attributes.

The only thing to consider was anemia.

When my experience points increase and my abilities improve, the Night Watcher's powerful vitality and self-healing ability should be able to support two items at the same time… The Pestle destroys demons, and the Blade slays madmen. Thinking about it is still very good… After Zhang Yuanqing finished writing the report and sent it to Li Dongze's email, he asked:

"When will the rewards for clearing the She Ling Tunnel and the rewards for this time be issued?"

"Your merits need to be approved by the Council of Elders, and the allocation of funds is the same. It will probably be issued together with next month's salary." Guan Ya smiled and said, "Why, are you in a hurry to treat your sister to a meal? Well, I want to eat abalone, sea cucumber, roast duck, imported ham, premium steak…"

No, that's too expensive. I can only treat you to a pancake with fruit, plus a sausage and two eggs… Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

He looked at the time, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, so he planned to go home.

"Where did the Chief and the other team leaders go?" Zhang Yuanqing asked before leaving.

After learning about Ou Xiangrong's memory, Li Dongze ungracefully took the team leaders away in a hurry, leaving no explanation.

"Meeting."

Guan Ya held her phone, leaned on the back of her chair, and showed off her proud career line, smiling:

"The Kangyang District Spirit Realm Walker's large and mid-level meetings are generally held at Centurion Fu's place. When you've been employed for more than half a year and have more qualifications, you can go there and have fun."

"What's so fun about that? I hate meetings the most." Zhang Yuanqing wasn't interested.

Guan Ya blinked, revealing an experienced driver's smile: "There are many beautiful bunny girls there."

Zhang Yuanqing had a look of longing: "I really want to participate in the organization's meetings as soon as possible and contribute to the organization's construction."
