Hearing the Third Dao Mountain Goddess's question, the dense yin energy surged slightly.

The Goddess listened intently for a few seconds, her face darkening. "He has already been to Jinshui Amusement Park, and you missed him."

She was a little angry.

The ghost bride bowed again and then said something else.

The Third Dao Mountain Goddess's expression softened slightly, and she pondered, "You're saying that he has had three opportunities to summon you, and this is the last one... If he summons you again next time, you must retrieve the Demon Subduing Pestle for me."

The ghost bride gently shook her head.

"Indeed, you can't open the storage magic artifacts of those types of people... How about this, I will leave a wisp of divine thought on you. If he summons you next time, I will be able to sense it immediately."

The ghost bride suddenly knelt down.

The Third Dao Mountain Goddess revealed a stern look: "You told me not to hurt him, is he your husband? Humph, what I do is not for you to tell me."

Immediately, her expression softened, and she said indifferently: "I am a righteous god bestowed by the imperial court, not a rabble like those demonic sects."

Only then did the ghost bride stand up and silently report information.

The Third Dao Mountain Goddess's expression was pensive, and after listening for a long time, her beautiful eyes lit up:

"You're saying that you discovered a purer power of the sun than mine that night? It's a pity that you were blocked outside of reality at the time... Could you see the person's appearance clearly? Good, draw it for me..."

Soon, several little ghosts carried pens, ink, paper, and inkstones over, placing them tremblingly beside the ghost bride's feet.

The brush floated up automatically, dipped in ink, and quickly sketched on the rice paper. After a few minutes, the appearance of a young man was outlined, with ordinary features, a smile on his lips that seemed spirited, and an unspeakable vicissitude in the depths of his brows.

The Third Dao Mountain Goddess stared for a few seconds, memorized the person's appearance, and then waved her sleeves, causing the rice paper to ignite with golden flames and turn to ashes.

She turned her head to look at the dark night sky, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled:

"When I saw him in the temple that day, I could tell that this person's fate was full of twists and turns and entangled in karma. It's really interesting."

Late at night, a hotel in the suburbs.

Li Xianzong stood by the window, holding an old mobile phone in his hand, patiently listening to the voice coming from the phone:

"In a while, a new Mist Master will arrive in Songhai to establish a secret base. Tian Lingling's death was all because of you. The organization will temporarily reserve the right to pursue the matter. If you can advance to the Saint realm in the mid-year killing instance, it will be written off."

The voice sounded young, with a smoky tone and a male magnetism.

Li Xianzong asked in a low voice:

"Lord Demon Eye, is Palace Master Zhisha a survivor of the Chu family? Who was the Heavenly King who carried out the extermination operation twenty-one years ago?"

Demon Eye Heavenly King said with a smile: "Anyway, it wasn't me. I received information these past few days that some believers from the Northern Territory died at the hands of that woman. She has come to the north and should have asked Tian Lingling for a lot of information."

Li Xianzong was stunned, then sneered: "She's just a Lawful profession who has just entered the Dominator stage. She dares to seek revenge on a Heavenly King? She really doesn't know how to live or die."

Demon Eye Heavenly King smiled slightly: "I don't care about this. I'm more concerned about when your multiplayer spirit realm will come."

Li Xianzong replied:

"Within ten days."

"When you clear the multiplayer spirit realm, your experience points will reach the peak of level 3. At that time, you will truly be among the strongest group in the Transcendent stage. By the way, what about the aptitude of that Yuanshi Tianzun in Songhai?"

"Lord Demon Eye, you don't need to pay attention to such a small character. Yuanshi Tianzun has a lot of props and some petty cleverness, but he is indeed a noob. Don't worry, within half a month, you will receive the news that I have successfully hunted Yuanshi Tianzun in Songhai."

At this moment, Li Xianzong heard the pure laughter of a child in the phone:

"Uncle, uncle, let's play!"

Demon Eye Heavenly King then said: "Let's end here."

Li Xianzong respectfully said: "Yes." He ended the call.

A remote county in the north, a welfare home in the suburbs. The sun was shining brightly. In the simple courtyard of the welfare home, under the shade of a tree, a young man was distributing sweets, snacks, fairy tale books, and toys to the children around him...

The children surrounding him, the youngest were five or six years old and the oldest were only ten years old, were dressed plainly, with dark faces, and their faces were filled with innocent smiles.

The man was about twenty-six years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thin lips. He had a good appearance, wearing a black T-shirt and black sweatpants, with a black sports headband tied on his forehead.

He exuded a sunny and cheerful aura.

The director was a middle-aged woman with gentle features and a kind appearance. She came out of the building, stepped into the shade of the tree, and smiled:

"Mr. Yang, you're here?"

The young man 'Mm'd and asked: "Has the subsidy that was owed by the higher-ups been issued?"

The director said with emotion:

"It has finally been issued. It's also a coincidence that the leader of the civil affairs department mysteriously disappeared. It seems that he embezzled too much money and absconded with it. The new leader gave us the subsidies that were owed in the past."

The young man smiled brightly: "That's good, that's good!"

The female director said:

"Mr. Yang, have lunch with the children in the cafeteria."

The female director took over this welfare home this year. She didn't want to take the job at first, because the director of this welfare home always disappeared inexplicably, and there had been several in a row.

But the leader told her that as long as she worked here for three years, she would be transferred to the city.

For her, who had no background, it seemed that there was no choice.

After coming to this welfare home, the female director worked conscientiously for half a year and completely changed her view of this place.

The children were innocent, sensible, and obedient, far away from office disputes, far away from the scheming in the system, and she also met the loving Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang had been silently contributing to the welfare home before her and before many other directors.

He regularly brought snacks and toys to the children, played with them, and the children in the welfare home all liked him very much.

"Director, you're busy, I'll take the children to fly kites." The young man smiled brightly.

The female director nodded, told the children to listen to Uncle Yang, and turned back to the building.

The young man greeted the children to pick up the kites and came to the lawn outside the welfare home. He touched the children's heads and asked:

"Do you like the new director?" "Yes!"

"Is the food in the cafeteria delicious? Does she scold or beat you? Does she also distribute clothes regularly?"

After getting the children's serious answers to all the questions, the young man nodded with satisfaction and smiled:

"If you don't like the director in the future, remember to tell uncle."

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Li Xianzong circled around Guan Ya, constantly punching, sometimes sliding forward, sometimes retreating, sometimes dodging, mainly with straight punches and uppercuts, supplemented by elbows and arms.

After a week of hard training (getting beaten), his fighting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he could withstand Guan Ya's strong attacks for three minutes without being defeated.

In Jingwei's words: I didn't expect you kid to be a fighting genius.

Unfortunately, he had not been practicing for long enough, and he could not make good use of the strength of his lower body to cope. His application of his legs and feet was still at the most basic level.

"You're improving quickly..."

Guan Ya dodged Li Xianzong's uppercut and kicked him in the chest, saying, "But don't be proud. After a newbie gets started, they will usher in a leap stage, but it will be difficult to improve further."

"What should I do then?"

Li Xianzong staggered back, stabilized his body, and stuck close.

Guan Ya dodged effortlessly, saying: "Under normal circumstances, there are three routes. One is strength training, which makes the body stronger, which can make up for the lack of skills; the second is..."

"You're improving quickly..."

Guan Ya dodged Li Xianzong's uppercut and kicked him in the chest, saying, "But don't be proud. After a newbie gets started, they will usher in a leap stage, but it will be difficult to improve further."

"What should I do then?"

Li Xianzong staggered back, stabilized his body, and stuck close.

Guan Ya dodged effortlessly, saying: "Under normal circumstances, there are three routes. One is strength training, which makes the body stronger, which can make up for the lack of skills; the second is to learn moves and routines to better understand your body; the third is a lot of practical training."

"Well, theoretically speaking, there is a fourth way."

Li Xianzong's eyes lit up, and he slowed down the frequency of his attacks. "Tell me about it."

Guan Ya laughed:

"The fourth way is to anger the opponent, detonate their emotions, make them irrational, and turn them into a brute who only knows how to attack. You are an expert in this area, and you are self-taught."

"That's provocation, right?" Li Xianzong's eyes lit up.

Guan Ya's expression darkened:

"If you use it on me again, I won't be lenient and use 'Dragon Claw Hand'."

"Don't worry, I won't use it this time. I'll change to another move... Black Tiger Gouges the Heart!"

"Pa!"

He was kicked away.

Guan Ya spun around and kicked Li Xianzong out.

Three hours later, Li Xianzong left the sparring room with a bruised nose and swollen face. He dragged his tired steps, first took a bath in the bathroom, took off his training suit, and put on his own clothes.

Then he came to the restaurant on the first floor to enjoy the meal carefully prepared by the bunny girl.

Remembering that he had been concentrating on practicing fighting recently and had not browsed the official forum for several days, he immediately took out his mobile phone and logged into the forum.

The first thing that came into view were three highlighted and pinned messages:

#Fire Prince and Gluttony God General fought fiercely in the distant suburbs of the capital, with no winner#

#Zhong Ting's Immovable Bright King single-handedly fought against the two deacons of the Spirit Power Association, and the enemies failed to conquer him after a long attack and had no choice but to retreat#

#The Spirit Corpse Deacon of the Taiyi Sect killed the A-level wanted criminal "Ghost God's Hand" yesterday, congratulations to the Five Elements Alliance Saints#

"It's been so lively these past few days? The battles of Saint realm cultivators should be quite loud. Grandpa watches the news every day, why didn't I hear him mention that something happened somewhere?"

Li Xianzong carefully read the three pinned posts and thought to himself that the official is still the official, with a cloud of experts. In the hunting and counter-hunting of the Saint stage, the official powerhouses win more than they lose. He continued to scroll down and suddenly swiped to a post:

#Yuan Ting of the Taiyi Sect is missing, suspected to be summoned by the elders of the sect#

"Oh, Elder Sun has already left the instance. Captain Yuan, rest in peace. I will burn paper money for you, Amen, may there be no Elder Sun in heaven..." Li Xianzong silently drew a cross on his chest.

He looked down again and found the content reversed.

If the Saint stage was a series of victories for the official, then the Transcendent stage was a series of victories for the evil organizations.

He only swiped for a dozen minutes and saw at least six or seven messages about level 3 captains being hunted by evil organizations.

In the Transcendent stage bounty list, "A-One" at the top of the list even launched a hunt for a local level 4 deacon.

"Although it's a bit discouraging to say this, we Lawful faction are indeed no match for the evil faction in the Saint stage."

"I'm very vigilant when going out to do things now, and I don't dare to go alone anymore."

"Our captain was also attacked yesterday and suffered serious injuries. Alas, we really need a great victory in the Transcendent stage."

"What are you thinking about upstairs? Yuanshi Tianzun in Songhai was beaten into a tortoise by Li Dongze. He's a genius who has cleared two S-level instances in a row."

"Tsk, he's being flogged again..." Li Xianzong felt depressed.

At this time, Guan Ya came over with a plate of steak and sat down opposite him.

She had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, and she was not wearing makeup, showing her natural beauty.

Li Xianzong stared at the old driver for a few times, and had to sigh that a woman with such a beautiful face without makeup was not an exaggeration to be called a "stunner."

"Don't look at me. Every time you look at me, I will remember your Black Tiger Gouges the Heart and Dragon Claw Hand." Guan Ya gritted her teeth.

"That's because you haven't seen my Ruyi Jingu Bang." Li Xianzong hummed, "It's a pity that this Great Sage has cultivated the Ruyi Jingu Bang for twenty years, but has not yet found the sea eye."

Guan Ya chuckled:

"I'm afraid it's not the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but a toothpick. Well, a needle and a toothpick are the same, so there's not much difference."

Li Xianzong bit the bullet:

"You may have to bear with it."

This scale was the limit. No matter how fast the car was, his face was too thin to bear it. He coughed a few times and changed the subject: "Sister Guan Ya, our Transcendent stage colleagues have suffered some heavy losses."

Guan Ya cut the steak and said:

"It's normal. Lawful professions are inherently inferior to evil professions, and Transcendent stage cultivators often don't have many props in their hands, some even have none. It is inevitable to be defeated by evil professions who are stronger than themselves."

"My needle is very big."

"As for the Saint stage, they can already apply to use the props in the branch treasure vault. Those with good talent are valued by the organization and vigorously cultivated, so they naturally have more trump cards."

"It's about what I thought!" Li Xianzong lowered his head and cut a piece of steak.

Guan Ya sighed:

"It's like this every year. The official cultivators in the Transcendent stage are always beaten, of course, this is the case when they are alone. Didn't you get beaten too."

"Sister Guan Ya, when I have time, I'll bring Xie Lingxi over to play with you. You should learn more from her on how to talk."

"Oh, how far have you and Xie Lingxi developed? Have you turned her into a 'broken Gua'?"

As he was talking, footsteps came from the double staircase.

The Big Muscle Bro, Zhang Yuanqing, Bai Long, Boxing King, Tang Guoqiang and other captains walked down the stairs with solemn expressions.

Li Xianzong put down his knife and fork, greeted them, and looked at his centurion:

"What happened?"

If something hadn't happened, Fu Qingyang would not have called his subordinates to a meeting.

Zhang Yuanqing leaned on his cane and sighed: "Three of our members in Kangyang District are missing. Members in other districts are also missing. The accumulated number is already ten."

"Missing?" Li Xianzong frowned: "Were they hunted by evil professions?"

The Big Muscle Bro snorted: "No, they were kidnapped by Li Dongze. He left words at every crime scene..."

The fire master, who was 1.9 meters tall, looked at Li Xianzong and said, "He said, Yuanshi Tianzun, it will be your turn sooner or later."

Li Xianzong's face darkened.

He was a little angry after being provoked several times.

"After I grow up, this guy will become my black history..."

Qingteng, who had a gentle personality, changed the subject and said in a low voice, "We still don't know the purpose of him kidnapping the official cultivators. I'm afraid he wants to replicate the second terrorist attack."

"That's why Fu Qingyang called this meeting. It shouldn't be to plan a second terrorist attack. I'm afraid this guy has the means of a witch and can refine those cultivators into Gu beasts, and then drive them to besiege me..." The more Li Xianzong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Bai Long frowned and said angrily:

"This Li Dongze is too much. He's making the members under my command panic."

Zhang Yuanqing added:

"We must arrest him as soon as possible. If this goes on for too long, the branch's reputation will be damaged. People are already posting about this on the forum."

"But isn't everyone's information confidential?"

Tang Guoqiang shook his head and said: "Investigating a person's residence doesn't necessarily require information, it can also be tracking. We need to handle incidents and need to go to work. During this process, it is easy to be lured out and then tracked."
