Chapter 22 Summit

The two walked up the wooden steps to the second floor.

The second floor was a tea restaurant, with pillars supporting the roof. All the walls were opened up and replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows and carved windows, allowing guests to sit by the windows, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. Kou Bei Yue stood at the top of the stairs, looked around, and saw tea tables in the hall, empty and open, with no one except for an old shopkeeper standing by the counter. Ren Xue Man Tou led him to the counter and said, "Old man, we're here to attend the summit."

The old man had gray hair, wearing a simple jacket. He was looking down and doing calculations. Hearing this, he raised his turbid eyes and slowly said, "Lingjing ID, recommending organization!"

"Xingxing Longmei Family Branch."

The old man nodded, took out two hand牌 from the drawer, and said, "Wear them!"

Kou Bei Yue reached out to take them, and at the moment his fingertips touched the hand牌, he was stunned to find that the wrinkled, age-spotted hand had turned into a delicate, fair little hand. He looked up and saw a young girl with a gentle smile. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, clear and clean, with a hint of tenderness. She smiled and said, "Bei Yue."

Kou Bei Yue was stunned. He looked at the girl in front of him in a daze, with a crystal glint in his eyes, and murmured, "Sister..."

The sister, in the prime of her life, smiled and asked, "Bei Yue, do you have any connections with the official authorities or the Public Security Bureau?"

Hearing this, Kou Bei Yue's gloomy and sad heart suddenly rippled. This ripple smoothed his pain and trance, making his soul shudder, and reason returned.

He looked at "Sister" again and found that she was still the old man with gray hair.

*I was just in a Genjutsu (illusion technique), without even realizing it, without any chance to react.* Fu Qingyang felt a surge of anger for no reason. He felt that using his dead sister to confuse him was disrespecting her.

"Bei Yue," the "sister" asked again.

Fortunately, although Fu Qingyang was ignorant, he wasn't stupid. He looked deeply at "Sister" and said, "Connections? Yes, after you died, I was wanted. Now I hide from the patrol officers all day long, and I'm terrified when I see them. The officials are also chasing me. Sis, I'm running out of options."

The sister smiled slightly and asked, "Then have you looked for a backer?"

Fu Qingyang shook his head. "I'm alone and helpless, and I don't dare to trust anyone. But... Sister, I recently met a good friend named Ren Xue Man Tou, who is a member of the Ling Neng Hui (Psionic Society). I've found a companion."

As he finished speaking, he saw the old man behind the counter nod and say, "Go in."

As the words fell, Ren Xue Man Tou beside Fu Qingyang suddenly became muddled, pressing his forehead with bulging veins, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

*What did he see in the Genjutsu (illusion technique)? Man Tou is also a man with a story,* Fu Qingyang thought, also pretending to wake up from a dream. Then, he grabbed the old man's collar, raised his fist, and said angrily, "You son of a..."

Seeing this scene, Ren Xue Man Tou was shocked and slapped him away. "Are you tired of living?"

Then, he nodded and bowed to the old man. "Senior, this kid doesn't have much brains. Please don't take it personally."

The old man smoothed the wrinkles on his chest and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that the old man didn't care, Ren Xue Man Tou breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned Fu Qingyang to put on the hand牌.

The next moment, the two saw that the empty and open tea restaurant was actually full of people. These people were sitting together in twos and threes, dressed in all sorts of strange clothes. Some were burly and strong with sharp eyes, some wore capes, gloomy and silent, some were dressed in suits and ties, with a dignified appearance, and some were in big shorts, a white vest, and flip-flops, restrained and casual.

It was like a gathering, with all kinds of people, men, women, old, and young.

Fu Qingyang glanced around the room, estimating the number of people to be around two hundred. *Like Master Wuhen's temple, this is a gathering that only exists in an environment,* Fu Qingyang secretly guessed, following Ren Xue Man Tou to an empty seat.

"The time hasn't arrived yet. Wait a while," Ren Xue Man Tou said.

Fu Qingyang nodded, his eyes scanning the crowd.

Ren Xue Man Tou leaned over, pointing to a young man by the window, and said, "See that guy? That's A-Yi, the disciple of the president of the Southern Branch of the Ling Neng Hui (Psionic Society), the number one guy on the Five Elements Alliance's wanted list."

"A-Yi, regarded as the strongest in the Extraordinary Realm among evil professions?" Fu Qingyang followed the guidance and looked over. A young man was sitting by the window, wearing a special t-shirt and capri pants, with delicate features and empty eyes. Fu Qingyang saw an indifference on his face.

It was the kind of indifference that disregarded everything, as if nothing in the world was worth caring about. Humanity, morality, face, wealth, etc., were all fleeting clouds.

"This guy is an emotionless machine, capable of anything. If necessary, he wouldn't even frown if you asked him to humiliate an eighty-year-old woman. If you encounter him in a slaughter副本 (copy), stay far away." Ren Xue Man Tou warned.

"I don't think he's weaker than Zhao Chenghuang. Even Yuan Shi Tian Zun may not be as strong as him, and in terms of potential..." Ren Xue Man Tou said in a low voice, "Our president said that A-Yi is a born Gu beast. His achievements in the raising-afflictions field are limitless. Give him ten years, no, five years, and the Five Elements Alliance will face a terrifying wizard."

"So the Five Elements Alliance is very wary and wants to get rid of him."

"I know, the more amiable a person looks, the more vicious and sinister they are." Fu Qingyang looked like he had a wealth of experience.

Ren Xue Man Tou was stunned. "Oh, that's not what I meant. This guy is actually quite amiable, considered one of the less violent types among evil professions. What I wanted to say is that this guy is very good at using his harmless appearance to deceive others, and then they recognize him as their boss."

"Huh?" Fu Qingyang didn't understand.

Ren Xue Man Tou said in a deep voice, "This fatty is very strange. I heard that he has followed many bosses, but all the people who became his boss ended up dying tragically, either in the Lingjing (Spirit Realm), or killed by officials, or killed in the struggle between evil professions.

"In short, no boss can live for more than three months. When you enter the slaughter instance, if you encounter him and he wants to recognize you as his boss, you must not agree. Otherwise, you may return to the Lingjing (Spirit Realm) on the spot, and I won't even be able to have your seat.

"However, the dead fatty is still very loyal. I heard that in order to avenge his last boss, he killed a Saint."

"The people who are his boss will die? What is this, a curse?" Fu Qingyang marveled.

Then, Ren Xue Man Tou introduced him to the other renowned Extraordinary Realm powerhouses one by one.

Fu Qingyang was listening with rapt attention when he saw new people coming in at the staircase—one man and two women. The man was dark and skinny, with special features and a gold chain around his neck. He was shirtless, wearing a pair of big flowered pants, looking like he was on vacation with his lovers. "The Lust God General of the Soldiers' Religion, a pervert who goes wherever he goes," Ren Xue Man Tou whispered.

*The God General of the Soldiers' Religion...* Fu Qingyang couldn't help but think of the Demon Eye Heavenly King, the ancient War God who was said to want to take him as a disciple, who came from the Soldiers' Religion.

The Lust God General entered the arena with two tall beauties, glanced at everyone, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He walked to a voluptuous young woman and smiled. "Little sister, are you interested in following Uncle?"

The woman was twenty-five or six years old, wearing a white t-shirt and light-colored jeans, with silky hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her appearance was very outstanding. Fu Qingyang had just learned from Ren Xue Man Tou that she was the famous "My Fate Is Up To Me, Not Heaven," the third-ranked expert on the Five Elements Alliance's Extraordinary Realm wanted list.

"My Fate Is Up To Me, Not Heaven" frowned. Before she could speak, a ethereal voice came from the staircase: "Lust God General has three thousand beauties in his harem, so don't bother with my disciple."

Everyone looked towards the voice. The newcomer was a black robe, a floating black robe. In the shadow of the cloak, two faint green eyes lit up.

The Lust God General said, "Netherworld, long time no see. I thought you had returned to the Lingjing (Spirit Realm)."

Accompanied by two tall beauties, he sat down at the main table. "Netherworld Ghost, one of the twelve helmsmen of the Southern Sect of the Void Religion... A Saint Realm expert. Well, this is the data from two years ago," Ren Xue Man Tou played the role of big brother, introducing the important figures to his little brother.

"A level 6 illusionist, one level higher than Xiao Yuan..." Fu Qingyang nodded solemnly.

Then, several more Saints arrived, namely the Law Protector of the Western Branch of the Ling Neng Hui (Psionic Society), "Snake Woman," the madman Zhang San, the Blood-Drinking Man of the Southern Branch, Forget Ji Shui, the Law Protector of the Northern Sect of the Void Religion, "Death God," the Illusion Fairy, and the "Netherworld Ghost" and Lust God General who had just arrived.

A total of eight top-level Saints.

The Extraordinary Realm practitioners in the hall didn't dare to breathe loudly, sitting obediently.

The Lust God General, holding two beauties, made the "托奶天王 (Butt-pinching Heavenly King)" gesture while shouting towards the counter, "Elder Qian Mian, everyone's here. Shouldn't you, the host, come on stage?"

"Elder... That old man is a Dominator?" Fu Qingyang was shocked, turning his head to look at the counter with a look of astonishment.

*The old man I was grabbing by the collar just now is a Dominator?* A layer of cold sweat broke out on Fu Qingyang's back, feeling like he had walked through the gates of hell.

The old man lowered his head and calmly said, "Thirty seconds left."

*Thirty seconds for what?* Fu Qingyang silently counted. As soon as thirty seconds had passed, the old man put down his ledger and walked out from behind the counter.

Wearing a gray jacket and old cloth shoes, it was hard to imagine that this simple and knowledgeable old man was actually a Dominator. "This year's summit is being hosted by our Southern Sect. Thank you for your support, and thank you for not being late. I am a person with a strong sense of time," he said, giving his opening remarks, and also walked to the main table, but didn't sit down. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Our Free Camp holds two summits every year. The purpose is to let all free professionals unite, increase internal friction, and jointly deal with those hypocrites in the Lawful Camp. For the younger generation who force open slaughter副本 (copies), whether they are casual cultivators or members of organizations, we will give a reward of five million yuan. If they can enter the top ten on the points list, they will be rewarded with a Saint-quality item, and if they enter the top three, they will be rewarded with two items.

"However, if anyone joins the Lawful professions, or if anyone harms their teammates to gain points, everyone will kill them together."

After the old man finished speaking, his eyes swept over the crowd in the hall, and he continued, "Lawful professions and our Free professions are like fire and water, a life-and-death struggle. What is heartbreaking is that Silver Moon God hasn't been eliminated yet, and this year, Yuan Shi Tian Zun has emerged from the Five Elements Alliance."

"The theme of this summit is to hunt down the two of them."

Saying this, he looked at the Saints at the main table in front of him and said, "You are all going to participate in the slaughter副本 (copy). There are only three Dominator spots. Have you thought about how to deal with Silver Moon God?"

The Lust God General shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not participating. I'm just here to represent the Soldiers' Religion."

The other Saints fell silent.

Elder Qian Mian snorted coldly in disappointment and looked at the beautiful Yin Chuanmei. "You fought Silver Moon God in Songhai. What do you think of his strength?"

Yin Chuanmei had changed into an elegant long dress today, without makeup, hiding her alluring body, giving her a bit of a ladylike appearance. She covered her lips and said, "Lu Nuannuan's Slash has been integrated into the rules, and any means of evasion or escape are difficult to work. And the swordsman's killing power even exceeds the Mist Lord at the same stage. His sword is enough to injure us, and it is still unknown how many swords he can chop out, whether it is ten or a hundred."

Yin Chuanmei continued, "In addition, Silver Moon God has a Saint-quality set, and must also have Dominator-level items, as well as countless Saint and Extraordinary Realm items."

*A Saint-quality set, Dominator-level items, and countless low and mid-quality items...* The Saints and Extraordinary Realm members were silent after hearing this.

Yin Chuanmei sighed and said, "The Fu family has a lot of money."

According to the investigation by evil organizations, the Fu family has seven or eight listed companies alone, and the invested companies are all over various industries, from industry to finance, from technology to people's livelihood, with very strong financial resources. As the young master of the Fu family, Silver Moon God can use money to smash out a warehouse of props.

As everyone was silent, the Lust God General coldly snorted. "Silver Moon God has comprehended the power of rules in the Saint Realm. If he is promoted to Dominator, he will become a serious problem, just like the Marshal of the White Tiger Soldiers back then."

"Therefore, Silver Moon will also participate in the slaughter instance in the middle of the year."

As soon as this was said, the Extraordinary Realm practitioners didn't feel anything, but the Saints at the main table showed joy, and Elder Qian Mian's eyes also lit up.

Silver Moon of the Soldiers' Religion is the head of the Eight Great God Generals. He was a madman with a gentle nature who dared to scold the Heavenly King "Cao Ni Ma (F*** Your Mother)." Besides his temperament, the main reason was that Silver Moon had the confidence to challenge the Heavenly King.

This head of the God Generals was once blessed by Shura, who said: Anger is the source of power, and anger will tear all enemies apart. Since then, Silver Moon has had power beyond the limit of the Saint Realm.

Although Silver Moon God is known as the invincible person under the Dominator, this is the official hype, and the evil organizations do not recognize it.

Elder Qian Mian pondered, "Is Silver Moon here to kill Lu Nuannuan specifically, or is he trying to advance to Dominator?"

If it is the former, you can deliberately get stuck with the points and give up the spot. If it is the latter, then next, there will be a good show to watch.

The Lust God General curled his lips. "That guy Demon Eye suffered a setback in Songhai and won't be able to come out for several years."

Elder Qian Mian suddenly understood.

Yin Chuanmei was in a great mood and said with a smile, "Interesting, I want to see, Silver Moon God and Lu Nuannuan, who is stronger."

The "Snake Woman" hissed and spat out her tongue, and her vertical pupils shone brightly.

"If Kou Bei Yue will participate in the slaughter instance in the middle of the year, then we will use Silver Moon as the leader to wipe out the Lawful Camp Saints in one fell swoop." The Snake Woman was a monster with a human body and a snake tail, with a charming appearance, red lips, and vertical pupils, giving people a thrilling and creepy beauty.

The other Saints did not speak, tacitly agreeing to the Snake Woman's proposal.

At this moment, a sneering sound came from the staircase. "You just said that you want to see who is stronger, Kou Bei Yue General or Silver Moon God, which means that you are not sure of winning. To take a step back, even if Lu Nuannuan General is stronger than Silver Moon God, don't forget that he is not fighting alone. E Du Ghost King and Yin Ji of Taiyi Sect, Jiang Ju who possesses the blood of the contemporary Yan Emperor, which one is not a leader in the Saint Realm."

Everyone looked towards the voice. The newcomer was a burly man wearing a black mask and a robe printed with flame patterns. This person strolled over and walked towards the main table, respectfully saying, "Since you want to kill Silver Moon God, you can't have 'probably' or 'maybe' in your mind, but you have to make the success rate reach more than 80%."

Elder Qian Mian slowly said, "Let me introduce, this is the Deacon of Dark Night Rose, representing Dark Night Rose, participating in this summit."

"Blood-Drinking Man" with sunken cheeks and heavy dark circles provocatively said, "Why is Dark Night Rose participating in our Free professional summit?"

Yin Chuanmei scrutinized the man with a strong aura, subconsciously licking her lips, salivating.

The man wearing the black mask ignored the hostility of the Saints and Yin Chuanmei's charm, and sat down in the last seat at the main table, laughing, "Because we have a common goal.

"In this slaughter副本 (copy), we will send four Saints to participate, to make up for the lack of evil professional numbers, and jointly hunt down the Saints of the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Sect."

*Four peak Saints?* The people at the main table were stunned.
