Chapter 1 The Beginning

Bai Lan, whose head was covered with a red veil, turned her head in surprise to look at the Lingzhu on the ground. Having experience with upgrades, she stared at the picture for a moment, then turned back in joy, "Husband, can I improve my cultivation?"

Zhang Yuanqing gave an "hmm" and said, "I have been working hard for your matter. After spending so much time, I finally found the materials and found a level six Wraith."

The ghost bride was wearing a beautiful veil, so her face couldn't be seen, but Zhang Yuanqing knew that under the veil was a face filled with joy and affection.

"Husband's love and righteousness are so profound. It's a pity that I am just a soul, with nothing to repay you, *ying ying ying*..." The ghost bride believed it to be true and was deeply moved.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, "Since you call me husband, you are one of my own family. There is no need to thank me, go."

The ghost bride *ying ying ying* hugged Little Bean and floated into the formation.

According to Ling Jun's standards, I'm already at the level of a top-tier scumbag with my sweet talk to my spirit servants. Well, a verbally flirtatious scumbag, Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

Seeing the ghost bride flying into the formation, Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his thoughts, squatted down, and pressed his palm on the formation.

The Taiyin formation rose with a burst of dark, viscous energy, like a deep, dark flame, enveloping the ghost bride and the black and red wooden box.

Under the scorching of the dark and viscous Taiyin power, the wooden box emitted a violent tremor, faintly transmitting the shrill screams of the Wraith.

Strands of invisible, majestic spiritual power were extracted by the formation, purified by the dark flames to remove the chaotic will in the spiritual power, and then poured into Bai Lan and Little Bean's bodies.

The spiritual power of the mother and son visibly expanded and grew stronger. The Wraith in the box wailed continuously, but could only watch helplessly as its power was stripped away like silk threads.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes. The Wraith in the box gradually annihilated, while Little Bean and Bai Lan completely absorbed its power. The former advanced to level 4, and the latter successfully broke through to level six.

But the refining process was not over yet. Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand again, and a ball of turbid, mercury-like substance flew out of the darkness.

Its surface had a turbid, mercury-like viscous substance flowing.

This material was called the Source of Plague, a Water Ghost class Saint artifact. As the name suggests, its function was to spread plagues and diseases.

Zhang Yuanqing refined the ghost bride into a plague bride, so that her spiritual power contained disease. It was easier for a spirit servant to spread diseases than a Yin corpse. For example, possessing or penetrating could implant the disease into the enemy's body.

The Yin corpse was the main attacker, Yi Chuanmei was in charge of control, and the ghost bride was responsible for weakening. In this way, he could fight ten level six Saints.

As his level increased, the terror of the Night Wanderer gradually revealed itself. Except for Qian Gongzi, a freak who was close to the Dao, even talents as strong as Jiang Ju and Huang Taiji were no longer his opponents.

"This will give me a better chance to kill Pluto."

Zhang Yuanqing continued to activate the formation, dissolving the Source of Plague and integrating it into the ghost bride's body. Then, he used the power of Taiyin to refine it once again, finally completing the process.

"Husband!"

As soon as the power of the formation dissipated, the ghost bride couldn't wait to fly over with her child in her arms, looking very affectionate.

Women really need gifts, even female ghosts are the same. Zhang Yuanqing thought that he hadn't given Guan Ya a gift for a long time. This was not good, relationships needed to be cultivated... So, Xiao Yuan also needs one.

Hmm, the Palace Mistress also needs one.

He thought erratically, and said, "Try to spread the disease to me."

The ghost bride obeyed him, and at the same time, she had complete trust in her husband's abilities. She immediately hugged her silly child and passed through Zhang Yuanqing's body.

At first, there was nothing abnormal. After three seconds, he began to feel an itch in his throat and a slight cough. After five seconds, he felt a burning sensation in his lungs, his body began to heat up, and his forehead was hot.

Ten seconds later, Zhang Yuanqing began to retch and felt weak in his limbs, dizzy and lightheaded.

Fifteen seconds later, all the symptoms disappeared, and his body was slightly weak.

Twenty seconds later, he had completely recovered.

"Without using the power of the Sun God to purify, the plague can only do this to me, which is equivalent to a brief weakness. Hmm, although I didn't actively resist the disease, my body, after being cleansed by the power of the Sun God, naturally has the ability to resist various negative states."

"In addition, with the Night Wanderer's vigorous self-healing ability, it can only affect me for ten seconds. But other classes don't have the power of the Sun God or terrifying self-healing abilities, so the duration and harm of the disease will be greatly increased. In a life-and-death battle, this weakness is enough."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction, then took Little Bean from the ghost bride's arms and tentatively said, "Call me Daddy?"

Little Bean tilted his head, his clear and innocent big eyes staring at him.

He seems to have become smarter, but not much smarter, still a simpleton, Zhang Yuanqing curled his lips.

After swallowing the ghost bride and the silly son into his stomach, he began to clean up the traces in the warehouse, put away the talisman tools, erased the formation on the ground, and after handling everything, he turned into starlight and dissipated with a crisp snap of his fingers.

Nanming branch, staff dormitory, 9:30 in the evening, bright and dreamy starlight lit up, Zhang Yuanqing returned to the dormitory and looked around.

In the cramped dormitory, the Queen was wearing a white vest and black hot pants, doing push-ups on the balcony.

The large size of her assets, which she had been cultivating for more than twenty years, was even more magnificent under the action of gravity. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it and happened to see the white, greasy cleavage.

The Celestial Lord was a serious gentleman and only allowed himself to enjoy the view for three seconds before reluctantly looking away and looking at Annie on the upper left bunk.

The foreign girl was reading *The Art of War*, learning the tactics of ancient China.

Xie Lingxi was sitting at the table, trying on different lipstick colors. She was a little worried. In a few months, she would be eighteen years old. After becoming an adult, should she take the route of a sexy and charming mature woman, or continue to stay by her brother's side and be a considerate younger sister?

Brother Yuanshi must prefer a mature woman with wavy hair and suspender stockings, and lipstick, but a considerate younger sister was her selling point and advantage. Although taking the mature woman route would cater to Brother Yuanshi's taste, could she be more mature than the Queen and Guan Ya?

She was still in the age where she was neither curvy nor shapely.

"Ah, Brother Yuanshi, you're back." Xie Lingxi rolled her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved, "I'm so annoyed."

"Auntie is late?"

Xie Lingxi was stunned, "Of, of course not. What annoys me is which lipstick can please my brother."

"Lipstick doesn't please me."

"Then what can please my brother?" Xie Lingxi asked quickly. "...Pig tails~" Annie on the upper bunk muttered softly.

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly lost the mood to tease Xie Lingxi, lay down on the bed and said, "I'm going to sleep, you guys do your thing."

Xie Lingxi also lost the mood to study lipstick colors, and picked up her phone to surf the Internet, feeling bored.

"Ah!" Xie Lingxi suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, look at the Five Elements Alliance forum."

Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone from under the pillow in confusion, logged into the official forum, and subconsciously scanned the red-topped posts. They were all posts with little topic, and the most popular was still: The Demon King Has Appeared!

It was an old post from a week ago.

He was puzzled, but when his eyes swept down, he immediately understood what Xie Lingxi meant.

#A Humiliation, Where is the Official Face?# The number of comments on this post exceeded 999, and the number of views reached 20,000, which can be described as a hot topic.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the post to read:

In addition to text explanations, the post also included a video.

"Oh, the record is so bad?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

He expected this exchange meeting. He had already learned about the nature of the Heavenly Punishment from Fu Qingyang, but he was a little surprised that the official side lost so badly.

After Qian Gongzi, who was close to the Dao, and the "Fengdu Ghost King" both advanced to the Dominator stage, the official peak combat power at the Saint stage was indeed greatly reduced.

But Jiang Ju was the son of a demigod, with a talent so strong that it was outrageous. He had already reached the peak of level six a long time ago, and with the Fire Demon activated, he was unparalleled in the world.

He actually suffered a crushing defeat? As for Ling Jun's fear of fighting and Huang Taiji's beating, he could understand. The former was a carefree character who didn't care about fame. In Ling Jun's eyes, the temptation to become famous in battle was not even as good as the rounded curves of a young girl's buttocks.

The so-called fear of fighting should be a refusal to accept the challenge from the Heavenly Punishment.

Huang Taiji was easier to understand. He was an Earth Monster, and being beaten was their way of fighting. That was their class characteristic, so it wasn't considered a humiliation.

However, Zhang Yuanqing was a little annoyed that Yin Ji was seriously injured. It was definitely not because he wanted to inherit the Demon King's widow. After all, they had gone through thick and thin together and had some friendship.

With a puzzled mood, Zhang Yuanqing opened the video to watch.

It was a long-range shot. First, a rebellious young man with red hair, Jiang Ju, appeared on the screen.

Opposite him was a slender white youth, Lei Zhangwei.

He had short, ear-length hair and three-dimensional features. From a distance, he seemed to be an arrogant guy.

This battle only lasted for three minutes from beginning to end, and the reason for Jiang Ju's defeat was also visually visible. He had fallen into the opponent's home field.

The blond youth was wearing a blue gemstone around his neck, the function of which was somewhat similar to the Water God Seal of I Alone Am Supreme. It could release hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater.

At the same time, it also amplified the Lingjing Xingzhe, turning the blond youth into an alien with azure hair, gemstone pupils, and intricate incantations crawling all over his body.

This alien stood on the rolling sea, and a huge monster broke through the waves under his feet, revealing the tip of a huge iceberg. He drove the surging waves and swallowed the son of the demigod, and the flames evaporating the seawater blocked the camera. Five minutes later, Jiang Ju was unconscious, while the blond youth was still standing in the field, although he was seriously depleted.

"That pendant is a treasure, at least a superb item, or even a rule-based item," Zhang Yuanqing judged.

Jiang Ju lost in the opponent's home field and in the rules of the exchange meeting.

The normal approach to encountering this kind of opponent was to avoid his edge and then use long-range output methods such as fireballs and fire spears to kite him. Neither side could do anything to the other.

But the exchange meeting had field restrictions, and a victory had to be determined, so there was no room for Jiang Ju to dodge.

After the blond youth with an arrogant look defeated Jiang Ju, he said very loudly, "It seems that the Yuanshi Tianzun of your Five Elements Alliance left Songhai early. I wonder if he wanted to challenge me?"

The implication was very obvious, Yuanshi Tianzun ran away!

Zhang Yuanqing faintly heard many curses, criticizing this sea monster named Osmond for being shameless, wanting to bully a junior who had just entered level six with his peak level six strength.

The second match was the wind mage Hoover against Yin Ji.

Yin Ji lost this battle very unfortunately. The way the two sides fought was quite simple. Yin Ji manipulated her spirit servants to attack the wind mage in the air, while the wind mage waved wind blades to carry out high-altitude bombing.

The wind mage's Eye of the Sky had keen insight and could see all the movements on the ground, perfectly countering Star Escape.

The carpet bombing of wind blades countered the Night Wanderer's core skill - Night Wander.

Yin Ji's spirit servants failed to defeat the enemy before their master fell, and she was defeated after being hit in the chest and abdomen by two wind blades.

The third battle was very boring. The one who fought Huang Taiji was a young man with brown hair and blue eyes, with a silent and serious temperament, like a stereotyped and conservative medieval knight.

The battle process was that this foreign youth with a knightly temperament was holding a crusader sword and beating Huang Taiji in a big way.

The two sides fought with high frequency and high intensity for half an hour. Neither side could do anything to the other, and they tacitly ended in a draw.

"The official side is a little embarrassed this time. The older generation of level six didn't take action, which is also true. Winning would be embarrassing, and losing would be even more embarrassing."

Zhang Yuanqing read the comments while asking, "Annie, are there many masters like this inside the Heavenly Punishment?"
