Chapter 1 Swallowing the Spirit

The instant the spirit entered Dahe Zhi Shui, it was like drinking a cup of poison that would tear through his intestines. Dahe Zhi Shui instantly collapsed to the ground, twitching and convulsing. An extremely crazed, pained expression appeared on his face. The official members of Lingjing Xingzhe (spiritual mirror wanderers) on the side took out their items, ready to act. If the deacon went insane as a result, they would immediately subdue him and notify the Hangzhou branch.

It wasn't that they were overreacting, but similar things had happened many times before. Non-Night Watchers who devoured spirits would suffer a great backlash. After more than three times, they would inevitably go insane.

However, there was no need to worry too much. When the time came, they just needed to subdue him and send him to the Hangzhou branch, where the Day Watchers would purify the corruption.

As the official members of Lingjing Xingzhe waited cautiously, Dahe Zhi Shui's convulsions slowly subsided.

Then, the twisted and crazed expression on his face faded away.

Just as the scout subordinate opened his mouth, he saw Dahe Zhi Shui suddenly sit up. His expression was filled with shock, horror, and a hint of excitement. His voice trembled as he said, "Quickly notify the Hangzhou branch! Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao (Six Elders of the Southern School) has returned to Lingjing!"

A dominator had returned to Lingjing? Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao? Was the male corpse in the room Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao? The expressions of the official members of Lingjing Xingzhe present changed drastically. They almost suspected that they had misheard.

They were at the scene where a dominator had died. A dominator had died here silently.

And it hadn't caused any terrible casualties.

"Deacon, are you seeing things? Or is the information from that remnant soul wrong?" Amidst the silence, a scholar named Liu Hongzhi tentatively asked in a low voice.

"The person who died here, his Lingjing ID was 'Fusheng Menghuan' (Fleeting Dream), a level 4 saint and a direct subordinate of Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao. His task tonight was to pick up a deacon named 'Jinghua' (Mirror Flower) for Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao's entertainment, but the person he picked up was actually 'Yuanshi Tianzun' (Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning)," Dahe Zhi Shui said, rubbing his temples. He spoke quickly as he calmed his chaotic mind.

"He wasn't killed by Yuanshi Tianzun. He died at the hands of a Siming (Fate Arbiter). Before that Siming arrived, Yuanshi Tianzun had been alone in the hall for more than a minute. Do you really think that if the person in the hall wasn't Nan Pai Liu Zhanglao, would a Siming need to participate? Would Yuanshi Tianzun need to disguise himself as prey to sneak in?"

Hearing this, the official members of Lingjing Xingzhe already believed their superior's judgment, but the shock on their faces remained.

Yuanshi Tianzun had come for revenge. A female Lingjing Xingzhe was excitedly cheered, "He's here for revenge! Heavens, he actually killed the dominator from the Nan Pai."

The solemn-faced scout shook his head. "The main force should be the Siming, but to be able to participate in a dominator-level battle, Yuanshi Tianzun's strength still exceeds ours. He truly is the number one person below the dominator level." As soon as he finished speaking,

Dahe Zhi Shui, whose temperament was gloomy, said in an extremely strange tone: "No, the entire hunt lasted only two minutes. When the Siming arrived, the battle was almost over. Yuanshi Tianzun was the main force in this operation."

The surroundings fell silent. The feeling of astonishment and shock struck again. The female Lingjing Xingzhe who had just spoken murmured: "This isn't the number one person below the dominator level at all. This is a saint who can kill dominators. It's too terrifying."

This kind of subversion of feeling had nothing to do with factions. It was the most primal emotional impact. After a long while, Dahe Zhi Shui finally calmed down and regained his composure. A smile appeared on his gloomy face: "Yuanshi Tianzun is a monster. There's no need to speculate about the depths of a monster. For us, the return of the Nan Pai Zhanglao to Lingjing is something to be happy about."

Jiangnan Province was the territory where the Nan Pai was active. Because of the existence of these dominators, Lingjing Xingzhe were often restricted and their hands tied. It was not uncommon for transcendents and saints to be killed inexplicably during missions.

Liu Zhanglao had been killed in Liandu, which was his more active territory. Yuanshi Tianzun's actions were equivalent to clearing mines for them.

This was a great thing that directly concerned everyone's lives.

Moreover, the death of a dominator from the evil camp within their jurisdiction, regardless of whether it was related to them or not, was a contribution, a performance bonus.

Scholar Liu Hongzhi said excitedly: "I'll call the Hangzhou branch right away."

Hangzhou, a five-star hotel suite.

The Palace Master of Zhisha, dressed in a red dress, leaned lazily on the chaise lounge. Her snow-white, crystal-clear feet peeked out from under her skirt, and her ankles were adorned with golden anklets.

Zhang Yuanqing was sitting at the desk, examining the two dominator-quality items. He first picked up a stack of Lian Shen Fu (Soul Refining Talismans) and checked their attributes.

[Name: Lian Shen Fu]

[Type: Consumable Talisman]

[Function: Refine Soul]

[Introduction: This talisman was refined by an ancient illusionist and specializes in restraining souls. Six talismans are a whole and must be destroyed simultaneously to destroy this item. After the talismans are unfolded, they form a barrier that ignores physical attacks; souls cannot escape from within the barrier. The chains condensed by the talismans can imprison and refine souls.]

[Note 1: As an evil talisman, long-term use will greatly change the user's temperament and lead them into the demonic path.]

[Note 2: Each use will burn the soul. Please use with caution.]

"Sigh, the items of evil professions are really a headache," Zhang Yuanqing said, both delighted and annoyed.

He was delighted by the power of the spoils, and annoyed by their cost.

This cost of a great change in temperament could hardly be resolved. Purification with the power of the Day Wanderer was ineffective.

The negative state could probably only be resisted by advancing to the Day Wanderer stage, but if he really became a Day Wanderer, who would still use it?

In addition, the cost in Note 2 was probably something he couldn't bear at this stage. With the dominator's level, burning the soul would be as good as death, if not worse.

Zhang Yuanqing put down the Lian Shen Fu and touched the earth-yellow robe.

[Name: Tu Ling Fa Yi (Earth Spirit Robe)]

[Type: Clothing]

[Function: Defense]

[Introduction: This is a robe that was accidentally left in the earth's veins. It has been immersed in the power of the earth spirit for a long time, slowly changing its quality and function. Heaviness is its characteristic and also its shortcoming.]

[Note 1: It will make your movements sluggish.]

[Note 2: If you don't have bronze skin and iron bones, please don't carry mountains.]

"A very standard Earth Monster profession item. Let's see how heavy this mountain is."

Zhang Yuanqing unfolded the robe and put it on. Bang! His knees sank, and he performed a rite of ancestry recognition for the Palace Master of Zhisha on the spot. His shoulder bones cracked, and his internal organs ruptured and bled under the pressure.

"This isn't armor that a saint can wear."

Zhang Yuanqing laboriously stretched out his hand, pinched the corner of the robe, and put it back into his item bar.

Slumped on the ground, he looked at the Palace Master who was covering her mouth and laughing softly. "Sister, this robe is yours."

Musicians were glass cannons, in need of defensive items. Moreover, the Siming profession could create Vitality Nectar with strong self-healing ability and was not afraid of the robe's "heavy pressure" cost.

The Palace Master of Zhisha nodded, this robe was very useful to her.

Zhang Yuanqing then took out Little Red Riding Hood, poured out some materials and United Federal coins, "This is Pluto's money from selling himself. You have a share. However, the dominator-level materials are gone. These six Lian Shen Fu are also for you."

It was agreed that after capturing Pluto, the rewards would be split equally. However, Zhang Yuanqing had already refined the dominator-level materials, so he planned to compensate her with these Lian Shen Fu.

He understood that dominator-level items were not the more the better. If one's own level was not high enough, the cost of even the items of the lawful professions would be so terrible, let alone the evil professions.

The Palace Master of Zhisha first put the Tu Ling Fa Yi into her item bar, then summoned the Lian Shen Fu to check their attributes. She giggled and said, "I don't want these. Using this kind of stuff will do me more harm than good. You can keep them yourself, or sell them to the Five Elements Alliance."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned. "But I don't have anything else I can give you."

The value of dominator-level items was too high. He really had nothing to compensate her with.

The Palace Master tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "How about this? You sleep with me, and I'll call it even."

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes swept over the exquisite curves under the red dress. As he took off his clothes, he said, "That's not good, Palace Master. I have a girlfriend."

But as the saying goes, debts must be repaid, and if money isn't enough, one's body can make up for it. "Wait five minutes for me to finish showering."

Five minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing lay on the soft bed in the hotel, looking at the ceiling with a disappointed expression.

Palace Master, so you wanted to sleep with me? I should have known better than to shower.

Under the covers, he was tied up like a dumpling with red strings. The Palace Master of Zhisha snuggled in his arms, reached out and stroked his chiseled face, and sighed: "When you were just born, I used to touch your face like this. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. You already know how to touch elder sister’s bottom."

Zhang Yuanqing was tied up like a dumpling because he touched the翘臀 under her skirt.

"I just used Face Changing and Thor's Seal. My emotions are a little unstable," Zhang Yuanqing defended himself.

The Palace Master of Zhisha gently stroked his face. The topic took a sharp 180-degree turn: "Your mother wants to take you overseas. She couldn't contact you, so she came to me for help."

Zhang Yuanqing's lewd thoughts vanished. He said unhappily: "Give me a reason to leave my hometown."

The Palace Master of Zhisha looked at him for a moment but didn't continue.

Zhang Yuanqing snorted coldly: "So you're still in contact with her. You must have told her my Lingjing ID. Why did my mother go abroad?"

The Palace Master of Zhisha pinched his nose. "What do you think?"

"At first, I thought it was to avoid disaster, but later I thought, that's not right." Zhang Yuanqing cuddled against her soft, warm body and said, "If she was afraid that her enemies would come after her, she would have fled abroad, then she would be scum, because she didn't take me away, didn't take away my maternal grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle's family."

If Ling Tu really came after him, it would definitely be a massacre. Even the eggs in the house would be scrambled, and the ant nests in the house would be burned clean.

The leader of Dark Night Rose probably didn't lack this much moral value.

"Then Chen Shu's act of fleeing alone would not be scum?" After Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, he waited for the Palace Master of Zhisha to explain.

Unexpectedly, this woman wrapped her arms around his waist, put her legs on his body, and said with a smile: "Then let's just say she's scum. Sleep, sleep!"

Zhang Yuanqing was a little unhappy that he didn't get an explanation, but he was helpless. He said angrily: "Official Master, can you move your leg down a bit?"

"Why?"

"You're pressing on my head!"

"You little stinker, how many women have you used it to bully?"

"It just took a shower and is still pure. Palace Master, please feel free to taint it if you want."

"It's too small. Wait a few more years." The two whispered in the dark, intimately.

An ambiguous atmosphere was slowly fermenting, yet maintained an invisible line of defense.

As they were talking, the Zhisha hummed, suddenly said: "I'll sing you a song, when you were a child you loved to cry. I would sing you a song. When you heard that you would not cry"

"I don't seem to remember, it feels like you're lying." Zhang Yuanqing said.

The Palace Master "hmph" a voice, "You were not smart back then, of course can not remember" She softly hummed a song, gently winding, like the spring breeze blowing slowly.

In the gentle, rhythmic song, Zhang Yuanqing's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell asleep. In his sleep, he murmured a sentence.

The singing stopped, and after a long while, the Palace Master of Zhisha said in a gentle tone, "Mm."

Songhai Zoo.

Inside the pet house, Dog Elder sat squatting on the table, silently listening to Peak Elder tell, after the other side finished, Dog Elder said "I know this thing, he really has the idea of revenge, not affecting ordinary people is good, it seems that he handled it well."

Peak Elder silent down, "You did not participate? How can you rest assured that he did such a muddled thing."

Although the action was very successful, but in the eyes of the honest Earth Monster, Yuanshi Tianzun's actions were too rash and irrational, once there was a mistake, it was the end of returning to Lingjing.

Dog Elder angrily said: "Marshal has lent out the Tiger Amulet, what can I not rest assured, but this kid has grown to the extent of hunting dominators, so embarrassing ah."

"Marshal lent him the Tiger Amulet?" Peak Elder suddenly raised his voice, incredulously said "This is impossible."

Dog Elder faintly said: "Nothing is impossible, worship a few more times and it will be done."

"What do you mean"

"Nothing, anyway Nan Pai's Six Elder is indeed Yuanshi Tianzun killed, you can rest assured to report to headquarters."

Dog Elder said: "The guys at headquarters know this thing do not know what the mood is!"

After that, he raised his claws and patted the screen to hang up the phone.

The sky was dimly lit, and the official account of Hangzhou branch posted a notice on the forum.
