Chapter 167 Aftermath

Boom!

Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts instantly became chaotic. Not a single thought was normal, filled with emotions of slaughter, violence, and warmongering.

His eyes lit up with scarlet, twisted runes. Blackness surged from his eye sockets, and lightning-like black lines emerged on the skin around his eyes.

Although he was clearly a Night Watcher, he showed a tendency to transform into a bewitching demon.

He opened his mouth wide in pain, wanting to scream and cry for help, enduring a soul-splitting agony. Just as Zhang Yuanqing felt he was reaching his limit, and his body and soul were about to "explode," he heard the slightly heavy breathing of the old hag in his mind, as if she had just broken free from some terrifying state.

The next second, the sun mark on his forehead emitted scalding heat. A clear and bright golden light illuminated his consciousness, and the chaotic, violent thoughts were calmed. Some kind of terrifying pollution was purified.

"Was the old hag also stunned? If she had been a step later, I would have died. What were those eyes just now?" Zhang Yuanqing thought, feeling lingering fear.

What level of existence was that?

The main body of the Blood Pool Demon God?

A Boss of extremely high level in the Lingjing (Spirit World)? No, judging from the old hag's reaction, it should be described with the phrase "the highest level."

"The old hag just used the remnant body of the demon god to probe the demon god's main body in reverse. As a result, just a glance from the other side made the old hag pay a price, and almost killed me on the spot. Damn it, she did it on purpose, using my body to do such a risky move." From the old hag's action, Zhang Yuanqing felt a deep "malice."

But what he said was: "May the Niangniang (Empress) be well? Niangniang, are you okay? As expected of Niangniang, you were able to find the main body of this monster in reverse. This junior is blessed by Niangniang and has seen an existence that I might never have seen in my life. Thank you, Niangniang~"

The old hag couldn't help but fall silent, as if she didn't know how to answer. After a long while, she put on airs and "hmmed" before reminding:

"What you saw just now must not be spread. Do not recall it on ordinary days, especially in the Lingjing."

"This junior understands."

"Next time we meet, this deity hopes to see you match your words with your actions."

Her attitude was obviously a little better.

In the lingering sound, the primordial spirit of the Three Graves Mountain Niangniang quickly dissipated. The probing just now seemed to have exhausted her strength.

"She's gone? Hah, she's finally gone. Dealing with such a high-level powerhouse makes people uneasy." Zhang Yuanqing found that he had regained control of his body and confirmed that the old hag had left.

Although the old hag had left, the power gained from the sacrifice did not disappear immediately, but was decaying at a constant rate.

Without the old hag, he became the inheritor of the thick Solar Divine Power in his body. This power originated from the blazing sun mark on his forehead, connected to his consciousness, and was entirely under his control. He tried to communicate with the mark on his forehead with his spiritual body, compressing the Solar Divine Power at his fingertips. With a "chi" sound, a golden flame three feet long spewed out.

With a change of thought, the Solar Divine Power transformed into knives, spears, swords, and bows according to his will, arbitrarily changing shape.

"Strange, this power is not unfamiliar to me, but rather has an unspeakable familiarity."

"Probably because I often use the Vajra Pestle, and my body is used to the Solar Divine Power?"

Zhang Yuanqing did not continue to experiment. With the blazing sun imprinted on his brow, he immediately looked towards the park exit.

Before the power completely dissipated, he still had many things to do.

At this time, the plants in the park, eroded by the power of the blazing sun, had burned into ashes all over the ground. A few charred trees stood bare, emitting green smoke.

At the park exit, Zhao Chenghuang, Jiang Jingwei, and Kou Beiyue were confronting Bai Wujinji and others.

Guan Ya was guarding Asano Ryo, who was unconscious from blood loss.

Zhang Yuanqing drove a fiery wind, whistling across the devastated park, and came above the crowd, overlooking the Shangui (Mountain Ghost) camp from a high position.

Amidst the raging fiery wind, the six members of the Shangui camp retreated again and again, like rats forced into a corner. Their faces were bloodless, and their eyes resembled those of people at the end of their road, with only despair left.

Zhang Yuanqing stretched his right arm forward, golden light spraying from his palm, condensing into a large bow.

Drawing the bowstring and aiming at Bai Wujinji, he said, "Any last words?"

Bai Wujinji spat and said fiercely, "You're fucking cheating, I'm not convinced!"

He did have a backbone and did not beg for mercy. All he had was unwillingness.

In this killing instance, it was clear that the Shangui camp had won. The moment the Blood Pool Demon God was summoned, the "exploration" of the instance had reached its limit. They were the winners.

"This is also power that I exchanged with my life. If using power outside the instance counts as cheating, then I have cheated."

"To be precise, it was exchanged by bowing down and worshipping," Zhang Yuanqing added in his heart.

He pulled the bowstring, and brilliant golden light spewed from his fingertips, condensing into a glittering arrow.

Bai Wujinji stopped talking nonsense, raised his head, and faced death calmly.

In the years since he became a Lingjing Xingzhe, he had killed many people, and many times he had almost been killed. If not indifferent to life and death, at least he was prepared.

Losing was losing. The winner is king, the loser is the villain; such had been the way since ancient times.

"Hiss!"

The arrow transformed into a beam of light, instantly piercing Bai Wujinji's chest.

The next second, golden flames burst from his body, his flesh and blood melted, and he burned into a pile of white bones.

A Yi's expression suddenly turned ferocious. Unlike the extremely weak Bai Wujinji, he still had the strength to resist.

His elytra spread, and he soared into the sky, wanting to kill Yuanshi Tianzun and put up a desperate fight.

But as soon as his body flew up, a scorching wind swept over him. A Yi only felt a burning sensation on his cheeks, and then lost consciousness, and all thoughts vanished.

With a "plop," a scorching skeleton fell, smashing into pieces on the ground.

This top wanted person on the wanted list had returned to the Lingjing.

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing decisively eliminate Bai Wujinji and A Yi, Wei Wuduzun, driven by the instinct to survive, sacrificed the Water God Seal.

"Whirr~"

The sound of water surged, and white waves rolled. He drove the滔滔 (towering and majestic) water, fleeing towards the Blood Pool.

Zhang Yuanqing drew his bow and arrow, and then released his finger, the arrow chasing the target, piercing into the water.

Golden light bloomed in the river, exploding like thunder. Tens of tons of river water instantly evaporated, and thick steam rose into the sky.

After killing three people in a row, Zhang Yuanqing stopped drawing his bow, and flicked out a faint golden light, igniting Jiu Louyu, burning him into a dying piece of charcoal. "Sister Guan Ya!"

He looked at Guan Ya, who had the lowest score in the field.

The experienced driver nodded slightly, grabbed a pistol from her inventory, aimed at Jiu Louyu, and pulled the trigger.

Two "bang bang" sounds rang out, and blood burst from the charred human figure, which then stopped struggling.

"Yuan, Yuanshi Tianzun..." Hong Wei's pretty face turned pale. She took a deep breath and said:

"You said that as long as you are willing to join the official side, your promise will be valid until the last moment. Does that still count?"

She didn't want to die.

Bai Wujinji was the leader of the team, an evil professional with numerous cases. He knew that he could not survive, but Hong Wei did not consider herself a wanton killer. She wanted to try, to try in order to survive. Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"When you released the blood jade, if I begged for mercy, would you have stopped?"

Hong Wei was stunned, realizing Yuanshi Tianzun's determination, and said with a miserable smile:

"I understand..."

She wouldn't, so Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't either.

A flash of golden light passed, and beauty turned into white bones.

"If I spare you, it would be disrespect to the teammates who risked their lives," Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Hong Wei's white bones, then drew his bow towards the little fatty.

"Yuanshi Tianzun!"

Kou Beiyue strode out and shouted. Zhang Yuanqing looked back at him.

Kou Beiyue hesitated for a while, "Can, can you let him go?"

Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, "Are you trying to argue with me? I just said that forgiveness is disrespect to my teammates." Kou Beiyue was not good at asking for help, and his expression was unnaturally pleading, "I have helped you so much, can you let him go for my sake?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned:

"Because he is your first little brother?"

"How did you know?" Kou Beiyue almost blurted out. The thin-skinned Kou Beiyue instinctively raised his chin, "I just think he doesn't seem like a bad person, no, not completely bad."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you won't get a share when we distribute the spoils later."

Kou Beiyue had made contributions. Using the contributions to exchange for the little fatty's life was Zhang Yuanqing's respect for this teammate.

Kou Beiyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "No problem, I'm not interested in these props anyway."

The little fatty stared blankly at Kou Beiyue, his lips moving slightly: "Boss..."

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuanshi Tianzun in mid-air flick a faint golden light, hitting him directly in the chest.

Golden flames immediately burst from the little fatty's body. He fell to the ground, rolling and screaming, until his breath was weak and his surface was charred before the flames went out.

"You watch over him." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Kou Beiyue.

This little fatty was very strong. He couldn't let him move around in the instance intact. There was still about a day left before the end of the instance. If the little fatty went berserk, he could still kill one or two orderly practitioners.

Kou Beiyue hurried to the little fatty's side, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was seriously injured but not dead.

He interceded for the little fatty, indeed it was the first time he had ever been a boss, and it was inevitable that he would be a little impulsive and act out of loyalty. Along the way, the little fatty had repeatedly stood up for him, doing his job as a follower diligently.

Moreover, through these two days of contact, he felt that the little fatty was not a sinister, evil, or twisted person.

So he couldn't bear to see him die here.

After solving all the enemies, Zhang Yuanqing rolled up Bai Wujinji's blood-colored longbow; Hong Wei's bronze mirror; Wei Wuduzun's Water God Seal; Jiu Louyu's double knives.

He kept the blood-colored longbow and threw the three props behind him, saying, "Zhao Chenghuang, Sister Guan Ya, Jingwei, choose one."

Guan Ya took the double knives without hesitation, Zhao Chenghuang chose the most valuable Water God Seal, and Jiang Jingwei had no choice, the bronze mirror was hers.

After distributing the spoils, Zhang Yuanqing drew his bow again into a full moon, and shot a brilliant golden light towards the park exit.

"Boom!"

The entire park shook violently, and the invisible restriction was broken. A gust of wind rose from the ground.

After shooting this arrow, the Solar Divine Power contained in Zhang Yuanqing's body was finally exhausted.

He fell from mid-air, his limbs weak, his spirit languid, and a strong fatigue surged from his body.

As a container to receive the Solar Divine Power, merely accommodating this power was enough to overwhelm his transcendent body, causing negative effects such as overdraft, weakness, and burning pain.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the park.

A group of people rushed into the park, the Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect, the colleagues of the Five Elements Alliance, and the casual practitioners led by Guan Zhongkui Bao and the Undead Knight, a total of thirty people from the Mountain God camp swarmed in.

Having witnessed the earth-shattering battle, they had already passed the initial excitement and ecstasy, but the joy of surviving a desperate situation could still be seen on their faces.

Everyone stared at Yuanshi Tianzun, admiration and gratitude flashing in the eyes of the men.

The admiration and worship in the eyes of the women were even more obvious and undisguised.

They had all seen the scene of Yuanshi Tianzun transforming into a blazing sun and slaying the Blood Pool Demon God. Although they didn't know how this young man had done it, there was no doubt that he had reversed the situation in a desperate situation, and everyone had survived because of him.

This killing instance was a rare one in the recorded history of the Lingjing, where the evil professional team was completely wiped out.

Mom, I'm so tired, I really want to sleep Zhang Yuanqing looked at the crowd and spoke first:

"There are still nine Shangui camp members at large, who have already fled. You can hunt them down yourself to earn points, but I have two requirements. First, you must form teams of five, and the distance between each team must not be too far to ensure timely support. Second, there must be no infighting over抢人头 (kill stealing).

"You can discuss how to distribute the benefits yourselves, understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.

Excitement climbed onto their faces again. The orderly practitioners who didn't have enough points and hadn't squeezed into the top twenty-four places were already impatient.

Killing all the Shangui camp members would not only earn points but also allow them to divide up the places vacated after their deaths.

All twenty-four Saint Realm places in this killing instance would belong to the orderly camp. Based on this alone, Yuanshi Tianzun's achievements were enough to shock the entire officialdom.

"Sister Guan Ya, you stay here." After instructing the long-legged mature woman, Zhang Yuanqing said to Zhao Chenghuang:

"Please lead them and control the situation."

Zhao Chenghuang saw that his complexion was not right and nodded slightly.

After everyone left, Zhang Yuanqing lay down on his back, sprawled on the ground covered with black ash, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while, Sister Guan Ya, hehe, a pillow..."

Guan Ya spat and said, but still walked over, knelt on the ground, raised Zhang Yuanqing's head, and placed it on her round and soft thighs.

"Your score has broken the record!" Guan Ya said softly with a smile on her lips.

"How much?" Zhang Yuanqing murmured.

Just as Guan Ya was about to speak, she found that this guy who was enjoying her beautiful legs was already snoring like thunder.

"The overall situation has been decided!"

Elder Gou said.

When speaking, the elder's beady eyes were looking at the King of Fear. If it were not for the impropriety of clapping with dog paws, he would not mind stimulating the King of Fear again, just as the King of Fear had stimulated the female marshal before.

"Not bad, not bad, Yuanshi Tianzun wiped out the evil camp, which should be an A-level merit. We'll give him one later." The red-haired elder clapped his hands and laughed. The other two elders of the Scarlet Fire Gang, with their hands on their hips, laughed:

"Yuanshi Tianzun directly wiped out the transcendent wanted list. He should be rewarded with an S-level and simply promoted to elder."

An excellent Fire Master does not need to control his emotions. Just as fire never hides its light and heat, being unrestrained and flamboyant is in line with the characteristics of a Fire Master.

The other elders were much more restrained, either with gratified expressions or stroking their beards and smiling, their faces turning from cloudy to clear.

The female marshal stared at the killing instance in the transcendent realm. She had not paid attention to the battles of the saints for a long time. Since the arrival of the primordial spirit of the Three Graves Mountain Niangniang in the park, her eyes had not moved away.

—Although the ancient Solar Wanderer had just left.

The elders knew that the marshal was in a good mood. "Fear, remember to send the rule-type props." The female marshal said.

The King of Fear's face twitched in pain, and he shook his head and sighed:

"What a pity..."

The leader of the Nihility Sect was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said:

"Timing and fate."

As one of the highest-level Lingjing Xingzhe in the world, this leader accepted such a result calmly.

Behind the three leaders, a group of masters from the evil organizations, although not exasperated, still felt a heartache that was difficult to breathe, with so many excellent seeds dying in the instance.

In particular, the elders of some branches of the Spiritual Energy Society even had the urge to go to Songhai to hunt down Yuanshi Tianzun.

A Yi's position in some branches of the Spiritual Energy Society was equivalent to Yuanshi Tianzun's position in the Five Elements Alliance, an elite cultivated towards the higher levels.

When Zhang Yuanqing woke up, it was already dark.

"Still a little tired..." He sat up, stretched, and glanced at a large patch of drool on Guan Ya's trousers, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

He should have slept enough, but his body was still lazy, and his hands and feet were weak.

Guan Ya rolled her eyes:

"You've almost slept through the instance! We can leave the instance after dawn."

"I slept for a day and a night? No wonder my bladder is a little bloated." Zhang Yuanqing thought in his heart, and saw the devastated open space in the park, where Lingjing Xingzhe were sitting cross-legged.

They were huddled in twos and threes, either curled up to rest, or talking in low voices, or eating barbecue.

They were sitting on the charred ruins, like refugees who had survived a battlefield.

The war was over, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere permeated between people.

Guan Ya whispered:

"In the future, this group of saints will be your natural allies and network. Yuanshi, you have initially accumulated your own network in the officialdom. These people are very important to you."

"I'll hold on for now, it's not good to pee when there are so many people." Zhang Yuanqing tightened his legs without showing any signs, "To me, Sister Guan Ya is the most important."

Guan Ya smiled like a flower: "Really, Ning Caichen!!"

"What?!" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

"Can you explain what that female ghost called you, husband?" Guan Ya's smile was beautiful, but it contained danger.

"Sister Guan Ya, this is the setting of the spirit servant, you can't take it seriously, uh, the moon is really beautiful tonight, let me take a look at the leaderboard first..."

He hurriedly opened the leaderboard.

After killing Bai Wujinji and the other four, his score reached a staggering 1528 points. Breaking the historical record.

In addition, the total score of the entire instance was limited. He alone had madly collected 1528 points, so the scores of others were generally below the average level.

Also, because most of the official practitioners were protected, the number of survivors in the orderly camp was higher than in previous killing instances. With fewer deaths, the scores were evenly distributed, and the scores of each person were not too high.

"Thanks to the old hag, I'll keep the Vajra Pestle for you for a while." Zhang Yuanqing silently thanked the Three Graves Mountain Niangniang in his heart. Boom!

This situation was an exception and difficult to replicate.

After all, geniuses like the Marshal and the Demon Lord could not possibly enter and exit the enemy camp seven times and kill indiscriminately in the transcendent realm.

After reading the leaderboard, he was quite satisfied with the ranking. All the companions he cared about were on the list.

Of the twenty-four Saint Realm places, twenty-two were orderly professionals, and the remaining two were occupied by Kou Beiyue and the little fatty.

lingdian.

The orderly professionals, who had been blinded by the killing, hunted down and killed the nine members of the Shangui camp and planned to kill Kou Beiyue and the little fatty to plunder their points, but were stopped by Zhao Chenghuang.

Only after asking did they know that these two were left behind by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although they were disappointed, and even a little unwilling, no one dared to "disobey" Yuanshi Tianzun, whose reputation was at its peak.

Kou Beiyue and the little fatty were now being protectively imprisoned in a corner by Jiang Jingwei, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao and others.

Asano Ryo, who had lost too much blood, was effectively treated under the healing of the Wood Demon. Apart from two broken legs, there was nothing serious.

At this time, she was surrounded by the Peony Fairy and others. The little girl, who had risked her life for everyone, received great praise.

Although Asano Ryo's legs were broken, she was floating. She never dreamed that one day she would be able to detonate the audience in a killing instance.

She didn't have to say goodbye to "Odu-san" and "Oga-san" anymore, and promotion to the Saint was a certainty.

A Saint, how many Saints were there in Japan? Those as young as her could be counted on one hand.

Time flew by quickly. Dawn came, the morning light broke through the night, and the sun shyly revealed a corner in the east.

The Lingjing Xingzhe, full of expectations, finally received the task prompt:

[Ding! The main task has been completed, reward 100 points.]

[Ding! Points are being settled.]

[1: Yuanshi Tianzun, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 1638 points]

[2: Zhao Chenghuang, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 580 points]

[3: Kou Beiyue, Water Ghost, Level 3, 420 points]

[4: Asano Ryo, Water Ghost, Level 3, 400 points]

[5: Sun Miaomiao, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 363 points]

[6: Jiang Jingwei, Fire Master, Level 3, 350 points]

[7: Tianxia Guihuo, Fire Master, Level 3, 340]

[8: Undead Knight, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 320]

[9: Guo Hezu, Scout, Level 3, 270]

[10: Guan Zhongkui Bao, Earth Monster, Level 3, 220]

In the last fourteen places, there were Yuan Ting, Niu Lan Shan Little Fairy, Peony Fairy, Baihu Bingzhong, Yu Nu Wugua, etc., most of which were occupied by members of the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance, and there was only one casual practitioner.

Of course, there were not many casual practitioners to begin with. [Ding, point settlement complete.]

[Ding, congratulations on completing the killing instance - Lost City, number: 0000, difficulty level "unknown", the reward is being settled]

"Hah, the killing instance is finally over. I'm looking forward to the skills of the Star Official!" Zhang Yuanqing sat next to Guan Ya, listening to the Lingjing's prompt, full of joy.

Suddenly, his face changed. He thought of a detail he had forgotten—the round moon mark!

"Not good, my Night Wanderer mark is a black full moon, not a crescent moon. This is a unique mark of the Demon Lord's heir! Crap, luckily I was smart and endured a pee!" Zhang Yuanqing bounced up and said, "I'm going to the toilet!"

"Didn't you just go?" Guan Ya shouted.

"Frequent urination!"

With that, he hurried towards the park exit.

At this time, outside the killing instance, the great figures of the orderly and evil organizations once again turned their attention to the park.

The little guys in the transcendent realm were about to settle their rewards.
