Chapter 1 This Guy Is Testing Me

This fellow is testing me. Zhang Yuanqing is no longer a newbie. The characteristics of the Demon Lord's heir are hard for outsiders to know.

The only thing that raises suspicion is his frequent entry into high-difficulty spirit realms, but it's just suspicion. It's not like no Night Watchers have entered the Remnant Spirit Tunnel as newbies before. The trial mission is A-grade and cannot be used as evidence of being the Demon Lord's heir.

As for Golden Water Amusement Park, the spirit realm has a matching mechanism. The stronger the person, the higher the difficulty of the instance matched. This is reasonable.

Therefore, this Ling Jun is definitely testing him.

The Taiyi Sect won't easily give up searching for the Demon Lord's heir. There will probably be more tests like this in the future. Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, showing a certain arrogance to make himself more like a genius, and said disdainfully:

"Who are you looking down on? What's so great about the Demon Lord's heir?"

Ling Jun smiled, "It seems I guessed wrong. If you were the Demon Lord's heir, Elder Sun would be even more muddled."

This guy has thick skin. Zhang Yuanqing didn't continue on the topic and asked curiously:

"Is it really okay for you guys from the Taiyi Sect to talk about an elder like that?"

"Of course, it's a problem, but everyone says it, so it's not a problem. Even if Elder Sun is angry, he can only look for the originator, Captain Yuan Ting, who's in charge of Kangyang District," Ling Jun said gleefully.

"But Elder Sun has gone into an instance and hasn't come out yet."

Poor Captain Yuan, I'll light incense for you. Zhang Yuanqing mourned for Yuan Ting in his heart.

At this moment, Fu Qingyang returned with a cold expression, followed by Guan Ya, who looked annoyed.

After leaving a few elite members to clean up the scene, the group left. Li Dongze and the others went back to recuperate, while the support team that arrived went to search for the real hiding place of Heng Xing Wu Ji.

Zhang Yuanqing had seen the location of that apartment in the memory fragments.

Inside the business car on the way back, Guan Ya leaned lazily on the leather seat and frowned.

"I don't know what's wrong with Fu Qingyang today, he scolded me."

Zhang Yuanqing laughed, "Maybe because he's rich and stupid?"

Guan Ya was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously, "Did you say something to him?"

Zhang Yuanqing laughed, "Maybe it's because I have the desire but not the guts?"

"Good, you brat, you dare to sell me out. Are you ready to have everything ruined?"

"Arrogant old driver, how do you know it won't be you who suffers humiliation under my crotch?"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

Li Dongze glanced silently at the two subordinates who were emitting murderous auras but remained motionless.

Wolong and Fengchu (sleeping dragon and young phoenix - two legendary advisors).

...

Fu Qingyang returned to his luxurious villa, went upstairs silently, and entered his study.

After closing the doors and windows, he dialed the phone of Elder Teddy, who was in charge of the Black Impermanence incident.

Elder Teddy is not a teddy bear. His spirit realm is called "The Old Man and the Dog." He is a respected senior who, according to legend, lost both parents at a young age and grew up with a dog.

Therefore, he often possesses various canines and rarely shows his true form.

Of course, this is also a way to hide himself.

The call was quickly connected, and Fu Qingyang heard a dog bark from the speaker, followed by a clearing of the throat, and then Elder Teddy's voice:

"What's the matter?"

His tone was gentle but authoritative.

"Tonight, my team of Spirit Realm hunters encountered an ambush while arresting Heng Xing Wu Ji..." Fu Qingyang calmly stated what happened.

"Someone leaked the information..." Elder Teddy said slowly, "What are the losses?"

His tone revealed seriousness.

"Three were seriously injured, and the others only suffered minor injuries," Fu Qingyang said deliberately. "Originally, they should have been wiped out."

"Hmm?"

"The newly recruited Night Watcher killed Heng Xing Wu Ji, saving the lives of the entire team." The reason Fu Qingyang emphasized this was to ask for credit for Yuan Shi Tianzun, increasing his importance in the elder's mind.

In this way, the elders would block a lot of trouble from the Taiyi Sect.

Elder Teddy was silent for a few seconds, then laughed, "Well done, it's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting newcomer. We really can't let him go to the Taiyi Sect."

He sighed and seemed to be in a better mood, asking, "Anything else?"

Fu Qingyang then recounted the information obtained from Spirit Interrogation.

Elder Teddy didn't speak again. There was silence on the other end of the phone, and even the faint barking of dogs disappeared.

"Elder?" Fu Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly, "Do you know the details of 'Dark Night Rose'?"

A sigh came from the other end of the phone, "The last time I heard about this organization was more than twenty years ago, and it was related to a turmoil involving a Spirit Realm family."

"A turmoil involving a Spirit Realm family?" Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking of something, "One of the three Musician families was destroyed twenty-one years ago."

"This is not something you should know, at least I can't reveal it here. If you want to know, go ask your family yourself," Elder Teddy said faintly.

"Marshal has approved my application. After a while, the Tiger Amulet will be sent to Songhai. The annual 'Comprehensive Physical Examination' is also coming soon. I plan to combine the two things together and see how many bad apples there are in the Five Elements Alliance."

At two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing took the elevator back to his door, went around to the blind spot of the corridor surveillance, and cast Night Wander.

He opened the corridor window, nimbly climbed out, used the air conditioner outdoor unit as a foothold, jumped up with all his might, grabbed the window sill of his bedroom, and flipped in.

Before going on the mission, he had deliberately opened the windows of his room.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing changed his damaged clothes, turned the doorknob, pretended to get up to use the toilet, and took a shower in the bathroom.

After washing away the dirt and blood, as if washing away fatigue and minor injuries, Zhang Yuanqing felt refreshed. With the Night Watcher's strong vitality, as long as it wasn't a fatal injury, or missing an arm or leg, he didn't need treatment.

Back in the room, he sat at the table, closed his eyes, and reviewed today's battle.

"With my current means, it's no problem for me to take on three Level 3 Spirit Realm hunters alone... Hmm, Red High-Heels takes on one, Ghost Bride takes on three,

Cat King Speaker controls the field, Little Silly B assists.

"It's a pity that the Thirsting Blood Blade and the Devil Subduing Pestle don't have self-awareness and can't deal with the enemy themselves."

Opening his eyes, he opened his laptop and logged into the official database.

Zhang Yuanqing entered: Origin of the Spirit Realm in the search box.

There were dozens of search results, but they were all official Spirit Realm hunter's guesses about the Spirit Realm. More reliable guesses were that the Spirit Realm was a product of extraterrestrial civilizations or a technology left over from prehistoric civilizations.

Less reliable guesses were that the Spirit Realm was a real parallel world, and they eloquently told about their experiences:

During a certain instance, he developed feelings for an enthusiastic and cheerful lady and couldn't help but impart everything he knew. The lady gladly welcomed him with open arms.

The experience was no different from reality.

Therefore, the Spirit Realm is a real parallel world.

"Damn it, as I read it, the content changed, no, it became yellow. Why hasn't this kind of post been edited?" Zhang Yuanqing helplessly exited the database.

The posts found were all official Spirit Realm hunter's wild guesses. The organization had not endorsed them, and he couldn't find the official's view on the matter.

In this case, either the official had no relevant research, or he didn't have enough authority.

I can only wait until I get promoted in the future to think about this matter. Now, the things I need to deal with are the Taiyi Sect's questioning; the search for Black Impermanence; and retaliating against Xiahou Tianyuan, that grandson... Zhang Yuanqing left the table and was about to sleep.

At this moment, the Cat King Speaker in the drawer made a "buzzing" sound.

Was it going to sing, or play the audio of a dirty movie? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, stopped, and opened the drawer. Almost at the same time, a hoarse and low voice came from the Cat King Speaker's speaker:

"I just finished a solo spirit realm today. The background is the Ming Dynasty. I learned a strange phenomenon from it. They actually use cultivation to obtain extraordinary power. Is this just a background design, or is there another reason?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about these things. I'm already Level 3. After experiencing the first killing instance, I can be promoted to Saint. I haven't found a way to break the restrictions yet. I hope there will be gains in the Saint realm..."

This is... Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank, the Demon Lord's voice.

He held his breath and listened attentively.

"Not joining the official is the biggest mistake. The Night Watcher's solo spirit realms are too difficult. There is a lack of instance guides. A-grade spirit realms can make people's scalps tingle, and the S-grade death rate is as high as 9%. I don't know if there are more difficult instance levels. Forget it, I can't join the official anyway. I can't pass the comprehensive physical examination."

"I heard that the White Tiger Legion's female marshal has repeatedly cleared S-grade instances during the Extraordinary and Saint stages. What a awesome woman. I want to sleep with her..."

No, you can't sleep with her. You were beaten up by her later. Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain.

It turned out that when the Demon Lord was in the Extraordinary stage, the White Tiger Legion's female marshal was already the female marshal. How old is she now?

The female marshal is the most peak Spirit Realm hunter, too far away. It can be a distant goal, but now the most important thing is to be down-to-earth. I have to go hunting evil professions. Without reputation points, I can't attack Spirit Realm hunters of the Lawful Good alignment. I must kill ten Lawful Good professions every month.

This is my task..."

"I'm still short of one performance this month. I captured a Wood Demon from the Hundred Flowers Association today. Tsk, delicate and tender. She said she was willing to exchange her body for survival. I think performance is more important."

"The Wood Demon from the Hundred Flowers Association is really moist, a beauty. In exchange, I didn't kill her. Hey, a person must be honest."

Honest your ass! Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.

He then truly realized why Yuan Ting of the Taiyi Sect said that the Demon Lord was a fallen Night Watcher. This person was insidious and indeed not a righteous person.

How could Brother Bing be related to this kind of person?

The Cat King Speaker made a "buzzing" sound, the Demon Lord's voice gradually disappeared, and Zhang Yuanqing waited for a moment. The second audio appeared.

This time it wasn't the Demon Lord talking to himself, but talking to someone:

Demon Lord: "I killed an executive of the Five Elements Alliance today and saw some interesting things from his spirit body."

Then, a somewhat shrill voice said:

"Spit it out."

"That guy is ostensibly a member of the Five Elements Alliance, but secretly he is loyal to the Dark Night Rose."

"Dark Night Rose?"

"Oh, even you haven't heard of it. It seems this organization is very hidden. According to the information currently collected, the leader of the Dark Night Rose should be a Night Watcher. Heh, that level of Spirit Realm hunter shouldn't be called Night Watcher anymore. I can tell you their organization's contact information. Haven't you always wanted to subvert the Five Elements Alliance?" The Demon Lord laughed.

"Okay! You better not lie to me, or I'll make you pay the price," the shrill voice said.

"Then now, give me the guide for Spirit Realm 0029," the Demon Lord said.

After a dozen seconds of silence, the Demon Lord said with satisfaction:

"The deal is done, Black Impermanence. Are you going to enter a solo spirit realm soon?"

"What's it to you?"

"Don't die. I'm very interested in your head. One day, I will personally take your head off, and of course, your boss's too."
