Chapter 178

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing had already climbed onto the windowsill, ready to jump down.

Looking at the distorted, step-by-step approaching Wraith, Zhang Yuanqing felt as if he had returned to the Yu Ling Tunnel, using an ordinary person's body to fight against Wraiths and zombies.

Crises abounded, and dangers lurked everywhere.

But it was different from the Mountain God Temple incident, where at least there was the main hall as a shelter.

But in the dreamland, he had nothing. Props, reinforcements, skills, all disappeared.

Things from reality cannot be brought into dreams.

Wait!

Suddenly, a forgotten item appeared in his mind.

The Dream Entry Jade Talisman!

A consumable given to him by Master Wu Hen, it was a Phantasm Master class prop, a consumable produced by the Nightmare Machine.

Since it was also in the dream realm, could it appear in the dream?

But I can't open my inventory. No, since it's a prop from the dream realm, it doesn't necessarily have to be used in reality... Since it's a dream, what would happen if I imagined it?

Seeing the woman in white drawing closer and closer, Zhang Yuanqing no longer hesitated and decided to try.

He immediately began to visualize the outline of the black jade in his mind.

During this process, he had half a foot out of the window.

At this moment, the woman in white had backed up to the window, her arm twisting one hundred and eighty degrees, raising the kitchen knife high.

Just then, a deep black halo slowly emerged from above Zhang Yuanqing's head.

Buzz!

The kitchen knife, which could easily cut cracks in a steel security door, was blocked by this deep halo.

Immediately afterward, the deep halo suddenly expanded, covering the entire dream and covering the room with a layer of dark veil.

The scenery in the room began to distort and change. Simple stone bricks replaced the elm floor, a caisson ceiling painted with gods and Buddhas replaced the ceiling, and bright candlelight replaced the incandescent lights.

Zhang Yuanqing looked around. He had returned to the ancient temple. The tall Buddha statue reached the caisson ceiling. Under the Buddha statue, sat a figure in a blue monastic robe.

The woman in white was only a few meters away, maintaining the posture of holding the kitchen knife high, as if she had been hit by a petrification spell, standing stiffly.

*Hu*, the Dream Entry Jade Talisman is really useful! Zhang Yuanqing felt sincerely happy. He had escaped a disaster and saved his life.

He looked down at his chest again. The knife wound was still there, but for some reason, it was no longer bleeding.

He immediately put his palms together towards Master Wu Hen's back and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

Having witnessed Master Wu Hen's power, Zhang Yuanqing felt even more respectful. Is this the power of the Sovereign level?

Master Wu Hen faced away from him, his voice low and ethereal, as if suppressing some kind of pain, echoing in the hall:

"Who did you offend?"

Zhang Yuanqing's mind flashed through many people, and finally he shook his head:

"I don't know, but after coming to the hotel during the day, I received a text message mentioning the White-Clad Murderess entering dreams to kill people. Then I encountered her pursuit."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the Wraith not far away, not even knowing what her face looked like.

But looking at the constantly dripping black blood, he thought it was better not to.

Master Wu Hen's voice echoed:

"This should be a prop, a prop that combines the abilities of both the Illusionist and Night Wanderer classes. Its grade is not low."

It really is the ability of an Illusionist, but what's with the prop that combines the abilities of two classes? Zhang Yuanqing frowned and said:

"There are props that possess the abilities of two classes at the same time?"

Master Wu Hen was silent for a moment, seemingly not expecting that he didn't even know such basic knowledge, and said:

"The 'Refining' skill controlled by the Scholar class can create props that combine two or more classes. However, it is limited to low-level props. The higher the level of the prop, the greater its exclusivity."

So, is it the Xiahou family who wants to kill me? No, Xiahou Xin and his son are already dead, and Xiahou Chi is imprisoned in the zoo. There's no need for other members of the Xiahou family to kill me. Otherwise, why would they kick Xiahou Tianyuan when he's down?

Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Master Wu Hen's back and thought, why am I using my own brain?

"Master, I want to know who wants to kill me. Do you have any advice?" Zhang Yuanqing said.

Master Wu Hen's calm voice echoed in the hall, saying:

"Ask the spirit!"

That's right, although it is a prop, it is also a spirit body. As long as it is a spirit body, I can devour it. Zhang Yuanqing was first happy, then helplessly said:

"But I am in a dream now. I can't use my skills."

Master Wu Hen patiently explained:

"I will use the power of the dream to trap it and seal it in your sea of ​​consciousness. When you wake up in reality, you can devour it."

"Thank you, Master Wu Hen." Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and put his palms together in salute.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar ceiling and found himself lying on a soft bed, covered with a light air-conditioning quilt.

"Hiss..."

The next moment, severe pain came from his chest, and a thick, fishy smell of blood poured into his nose.

Zhang Yuanqing lifted the quilt and saw a exaggerated knife wound on his chest, cutting through flesh and revealing bone. The blood had stopped, but even with the Night Wanderer's healing power, it would still take enough time to heal.

"The injuries in the dream are reflected in reality... That was close, I almost died..."

Recalling his experience in the dream, he felt a burst of fear.

Fortunately, he had the Dream Entry Jade Talisman given by Master Wu Hen. Otherwise, the Five Elements Alliance would have lost a promising genius tomorrow morning.

He didn't dare to think about his family's reaction.

"The Illusionist is worthy of being one of the three evil classes. Each peak class has its terrifying aspects. Although I managed to save my life today, if I don't get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... I will still encounter danger."

"And Master Wu Hen's jade talisman can only be used once. He didn't give me another one, which means he won't help me next time..."

Zhang Yuanqing calmed his emotions and closed his eyes. He sensed a yin and evil aura lurking in the depths of his consciousness. It was extremely violent, but it was sealed by a powerful force and firmly suppressed.

He was just about to devour the evil spirit when he suddenly realized that no one was "purifying" him, so he played it safe, opened his inventory, and summoned the Demon Subduing Pestle.

Then he "spit" out Little Doudi. After upgrading, he can touch real objects, which is also a great help.

"Aba aba?"

Little Doudi looked at his blood-stained master in surprise, not understanding what he had encountered.

"Later, after I close my eyes, you give me a shot..."

Zhang Yuanqing gestured, finally making Little Doudi understand the complex command.

Little Doudi was very afraid of the Demon Subduing Pestle, holding it carefully in his arms, and nodding vigorously with his sparsely-haired head.

Good son. Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed with peace of mind, closed his eyes, and was about to communicate with the Wraith in the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness when his calf suddenly felt a sharp pain.

A brilliant golden light burst out, and the power of purification filled his body.

Zhang Yuanqing sat up with a stiff face, looking at the little baby who had already shrunk to the side of the window.

"I just closed my eyes..." Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched.

A few minutes later, after re-communicating, Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes, deliberately waiting a few seconds to make sure that Little Doudi truly understood his meaning this time, before settling down to communicate with the evil spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness.

His consciousness suddenly expanded, and fragments of memory poured into his mind along with strong negative emotions.

The image went from chaos to clarity. He saw a depressing, gloomy sky. Under the dark clouds was a small town in the Jiangnan water town style.

On a small path paved with stone slabs lay a corpse with a bloody chest.

The scene changed, and he saw many different corpses. The scenes were in various corners of the town, including streets, ancient houses, and stone bridges...

Is this Wraith the boss in a single-player spirit realm of some Night Wanderer? Zhang Yuanqing realized something.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally cleared this single-player spirit realm, and the evil spirit, in the form of a prop, became the reward for that lucky person.

Its main body is an antique celadon vase.

At this time, the scene changed. In a small store filled with sundries, a woman wearing a black tube top and loose pants, charming and beautiful, stood by the counter, a slender lady's cigarette between her fingers.

Her fiery red lips exhaled white smoke, and she chuckled:

"Want a prop that can kill most transcendental practitioners?"

She turned around and found an old mobile phone in a cabinet filled with various sundries and appliances.

"This prop combines the power of dreams and evil spirits. Edit a text message and send it to a specified number, and the evil spirit residing in the mobile phone will sneak into the target's dream and kill the target.

"It is ineffective against Level 3 Scouts, Level 3 Charming Demons, and Level 3 Illusionists. It can basically kill other classes. It's not expensive, five million. Considering you are an executive of the Five Elements Alliance, I'll give you a discount and make it four million. I'll send you the text message content later."

"Deal!" A hand reached out and picked up the old mobile phone.

Following this hand, it was a man in a white judo uniform with a square face and a serious expression.

Executive Pang?!

The picture shook like water, and new memories unfolded. He saw Executive Pang sitting at a table in a magnificent bedroom, editing a text message with a cold expression.

Halfway through editing the text message, a brilliant golden light destroyed everything.

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly opened his eyes and saw the Demon Subduing Pestle lying at his feet, while Little Doudi was curled up near the game console, lying on the ground, supporting his body with his small arms, staring at him with wide, dark eyes.

"I'm fine, you did a great job!"

Zhang Yuanqing first reassured Little Doudi, and then fell into deep thought.

Why does Executive Pang want to kill me?

I have no contact with him, let alone any grudges. Why does he want to kill me... Hmm, he is close to the Xiahou family and is one of the Xiahou family's connections in the government. I caused Xiahou Tianyuan to go to prison, so he wants to kill me?

There is a motive, but it always feels like something is missing...

Now that I have destroyed his prop, I have completely made an enemy of him. If he knows I am not dead after tonight, he may retaliate later. This person must be killed.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to experience another dream alliance.

Furthermore, Executive Pang is a Saint, and this time he used props for assassination because he didn't want to leave any clues. If he takes action personally next time, Zhang Yuanqing doesn't think he can compete with a Saint.

"Should I report this to Fu Qingyang? But the problem is that I have no evidence. Without evidence, Fu Qingyang can't just move an executive of the same level, right?"

Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred, and he thought of a way: Ask the Palace Master of the Zhisha Palace to help kill people!

Then he felt that this method was unreliable.

"Not to mention whether the Palace Master of the Zhisha Palace will agree, even if it works, I will have a fatal weakness in the hands of that madwoman. Will she *pu* me, skin me, drip wax on me, or something..."

Ask Master Wu Hen to take action?

I can't afford someone of this level. This time he saved me, which is equivalent to repaying the favor of "being ashamed of being a father." Zhang Yuanqing felt extremely棘手.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell Fu Qingyang.

On the one hand, Fu Qingyang is his superior. If a subordinate is assassinated, the boss should come forward to seek justice. From his attitude towards Xiahou Tianyuan, it can be seen that Fu Qingyang is a very arrogant person.

He will never allow anyone to harm the people he protects.

On the other hand, Fu Qingyang will definitely be able to see the stakes. If the executive fails once, he will definitely try again. If he ignores it, his Night Wanderer will definitely die.

In this case, if Fu Qingyang's attitude is forbearance, saying that it is difficult to deal with because there is no evidence, it means that he does not value him very much and considers him a dispensable chess piece.

Then, in order to save himself, Zhang Yuanqing can only contact the Zhisha Palace and leave the official ranks to become a rogue cultivator.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, but it is better than being killed.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yuanqing dialed Fu Qingyang's phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

Fu Qingyang's cold and merciless voice came from the speaker:

"I gave you my contact information, not so you could specifically choose to call me in the middle of the night."

"I will try to pay attention in the future." Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and cut to the chase:

"Centurion, Executive Pang wants to kill me!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then said: "What's going on?"

Zhang Yuanqing explained what happened today, but he concealed the name of Master Wu Hen and only said that he knew a master who had helped him.

He knew that there were loopholes in his words, and Fu Qingyang would definitely notice them.

If Fu Qingyang pressed him, he would confess honestly. If not, he would play dumb.

"Come over to see me immediately." Fu Qingyang said.

"I'm afraid I can't." Zhang Yuanqing said weakly, with a wry smile, "I'm seriously injured."

Fu Qingyang's tone suddenly sank: "You're injured?"

"I'll rest for half an hour, and I should be much better, but right now, I can't move." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I'll notify Li Dongze and have his driver pick you up." Fu Qingyang said coldly:

"I'll resolve this matter before dawn."

How are you going to resolve it? Zhang Yuanqing held back from asking and said weakly, "Okay, thank you, Centurion."

After hanging up the phone, he bared his teeth for a while, "It's best to kill Executive Pang. If not, imprisonment is also fine."

Then, he endured the burning pain in his chest and replaced the blood-stained air-conditioning quilt, sheets, and clothes, stuffing them into the closet.

After simply cleaning up the scene, Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the head of the bed and opened the property panel to check the experience points.

After clearing Jinshui Amusement Park that day, his experience points were 23%. Later, after saving Hengxing Wuji, Xiahou Tianyuan, and scattered ordinary people's spirits, his experience points increased to 28%.

The evil spirit devoured tonight increased his experience points by 5%.

So, being weak was a lie to win Fu Qingyang's sympathy.

He was now full of power, his Yin energy was becoming more and more pure, and his physique and skills had also improved.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanqing quietly left home, took the elevator downstairs, and waited outside the community.

Not long after, Li Dongze's business car arrived at the entrance of the community, and the electric door slid open automatically.

About twenty minutes later, Li Dongze's car parked outside the Fu Jiawan villa area. At the entrance of the community, there was also a white business car parked.

Zhang Yuanqing got out of the car and happened to see the window of the white business car lowered, revealing Fu Qingyang's handsome face.

He quickly approached and boarded the luxuriously decorated car.

Fu Qingyang examined him and his expression relaxed slightly, saying:

"The Night Wanderer's self-healing ability is enviable."

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to respond, he instructed the driver: "Let's go!"

The car started and sped along the empty, wide street. Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to say: "Centurion, what are you going to do?"

Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "Kill him, ask the spirit."

He glanced at the surprised face of his subordinate and explained:

"Harming a colleague is a capital crime. In addition, I suspect that he is a member of the Night Rose and is colluding with Black Impermanence."

Member of the Night Rose? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked: "What makes you say that?"

Executive Pang is close to the Xiahou family, and Xiahou Chi's lineage is a member of the Night Rose. The organization has also infiltrated official organizations.

There is a possibility that Executive Pang is a member of the Night Rose. Zhang Yuanqing had similar guesses when he was analyzing before, but he believed that the Night Rose lacked the motivation to kill him.

Such a large organization cannot target small people. Otherwise, Guan Ya, Bai Long, Qing Teng, and Jiang Jingwei would all be in danger.

If they were to assassinate someone, they would assassinate Fu Qingyang.

Unless the Night Rose knows the fact that he is a successor of the Demon Lord, but in that case, it would not be an assassination, but an arrest, right?

"Do you remember the night you were ambushed by Hengxing Wuji? I wasn't in Kangyang District, but in Fenghua District, because that night, Black Impermanence's whereabouts were discovered in an abandoned factory in Fenghua District."

Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "And the person who sought my help was Pang Wudi."

"You suspected him a long time ago?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

"I wasn't sure, so I was watching. What happened to you tonight verified my guess." Fu Qingyang said.
