Chapter 1 Ghost Realm

Everywhere were ghost shadows, everywhere were yin corpses.

This world was filled with yin energy; there was no sign of living beings. It was as if they had arrived in the world of the dead.

The little fatty was an illusionist and had never entered a Night Watcher dungeon. He had never seen such a scene before, and his calves were uncontrollably cramping. His lips trembled slightly.

Any level four saint would be terrified in this strange and terrifying world filled with pale, ghastly faces, and densely packed yin corpses on the streets—

Except for a Fire Master.

Dark Night Rose saw that the government was trying to fish, so she used a counter-ploy? Yuan Shi Tianzun is tricking me… In addition to his fear, the little fatty also understood the crux of the matter.

To "eat" a saint, there was no need to make such a show.

The little fatty became even more pessimistic, believing that the Southern Faction and the government had been tricked by Dark Night Rose.

"Wooo..."

A shrill and mournful flute sound came from the towering buildings, echoing in the night.

The wooden ghost faces behind the windows and the dazed yin corpses on the street, upon hearing the flute sound, suddenly came to life. The former passed through the glass, transforming into a vast and mighty yin wind rushing over.

The latter, with "hoarse" low growls in their throats, pounced forward like zombies.

The little fatty's heart turned cold, and fear flashed in his eyes. As an illusionist, he couldn't handle so many vengeful spirits, let alone yin corpses.

Moreover, these vengeful spirits and yin corpses were of high quality—and were continuously pouring out of buildings from all directions.

Too many to count.

"It's over, it's over..." The little fatty was filled with despair. "This is more terrifying than an S-class dungeon."

At that moment, a round of golden, pure, and dazzling radiance appeared in the sky, dispelling the darkness. Under the golden light, the vengeful spirits dancing in the sky and the densely packed yin corpses emitted "sizzling" green smoke.

The weaker yin creatures directly dissipated.

The great sun illuminated, the temperature soared, and the thick fog of yin energy that shrouded this world thinned a bit.

Reinforcements have arrived… The little fatty was surprised and delighted. Turning his head, he saw a group of people slowly walking over at the end of the long street.

Leading them was a young man, dressed in white like snow, wearing a black and gold cloud-patterned cloak, with a handsome short ponytail, cold and handsome.

To his left was a graceful and charming middle-aged woman, and to his right was a middle-aged man in mountaineering gear with dark skin.

Behind them were a group of saints led by Yin Ji.

"Elder Gao Feng of the Hangzhou Branch, Elder Hong Ying of the Taiyi Sect, and Fu Qingyang are here..." The little fatty felt a strong sense of security.

Some people, when they are your enemies, you will feel fear.

When they become your teammates, you will feel at ease. For example, Fu Qingyang. As for the elders of the Southern Faction, although they were not seen, illusionists are elusive, and being invisible is the norm.

"Humph!"

From the depths of the towering buildings came a cold hum.

The next second, a jet-black rainbow soared into the sky, carrying extreme yin energy, and crashed into the black sun in the sky.

Boom!

Two opposing forces collided, exploding at the same time. Black streamers fell to the ground, solidifying into frost.

Golden streamers of fire fell to the ground, blasting out craters.

"It's a Night Watcher who cultivates Taiyin." Elder Hong Ying's expression remained unchanged, her eyes calmly scanning the "yin creature army."

Only those who cultivate Taiyin can resist the power of the sun with yin energy. Of course, this is also because Elder Hong Ying does not specialize in the sun.

And only those who cultivate Taiyin can support so many vengeful spirits and yin corpses.

"It's the Grand Elder of Dark Night Rose. I fought him during the Holy Grail incident," Fu Qingyang said indifferently.

Losing the suppression of the golden sun, the vengeful spirits and yin corpses, nourished by the rich yin energy, quickly recovered and rushed towards the little fatty and Fu Qingyang and the others one after another.

Suddenly, a scream that ordinary people couldn't hear spread out.

The vengeful spirits flying in the sky exploded, and the flute sound from the tall buildings was forcibly interrupted.

Mental strike!

The elder of the Southern Faction had made a move.

Fu Family Bay.

On the rooftop of a small villa, the night was deep, and the view from the railing was far and wide.

The Zhou Tian Star Array filled the sky, brilliant and mysterious, high and lonely.

Zhang Yuanqing stood on the rooftop, one hand behind his back and the other holding the Da Luo Star Plate. His pupils flowed with brilliant starlight. He raised his head, observing the celestial phenomena.

From his perspective, the stars symbolizing the evolution of things moved quickly, and the stars shifted.

"Dark Night Rose has made a move… There shouldn't be any accidents on老大's trip. He should be able to kill the Chunyang Sect Leader. No, involving Dark Night Rose, star gazing and divination are useless. Fortunately, Trash Marshal is in Songhai…"

As an excellent chess player, one needs to consider the changes in each game and control the risks.

He also had to consider what to do if Fu Qingyang and the others were wiped out by Dark Night Rose.

Although Fu Qingyang, Hong Ying, and Gao Feng, including the elders of the Southern Faction, were all rulers who combined wisdom, experience, and cunning, they were definitely stable.

However, Dark Night Rose's secret protection made it impossible for them to rely on star gazing and divination to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and they would never have imagined that the Bai Hu (White Tiger) Marshal, who was supposed to be the pillar of support, would be led away by the traitor Yuan Shi Tianzun in collusion with the Fear King.

Therefore, it was not a sure thing, and there was a possibility of capsizing in a gutter.

Therefore, in the discussion between Zhang Yuanqing and the Fear King, they would delay the female marshal for a maximum of two hours. In this way, even if Fu Qingyang and the others encountered danger, the female marshal could provide timely support.

"If my goal is to rescue the Devil's Eye, and I don't care about the life or death of老大 and the others, then the difficulty of the layout will be greatly reduced. But once there are more goals, there will be more accidents and risks, and the probability of the layout failing will skyrocket…"

"In the future, when observing the stars and laying out plans, try not to involve too many factors to increase the success rate."

"Well, at this time, the Fear King should have already made a move."

Everything was under control.

Saving the Devil's Eye was tonight, and for this reason, he had given Jill a holiday. After all, Guan Ya's one lie down and one kneel would be over in an hour.

And with the Night Watcher's vigorous energy, one lie down and one kneel was obviously not enough. Guan Ya would have to sit and crawl for two or three hours, which would pass in the blink of an eye.

The opportunity to save the Devil's Eye would be missed in one pass after another.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Yuanqing divided half of his mind and entered the Yin Corpse imprint of "Hundred-Man Slayer" in his sea of consciousness.

Rou Zong City, one hundred kilometers away.

On the top floor of a shopping mall in the city center, Hundred-Man Slayer took off his sunglasses, and the ferocity and chaos in his eyes turned into clarity and rationality.

The escape technique of a dominator-level Wood Demon is ordinary, and the speed is also ordinary. At the speed of Dog Elder, it would take at least twenty minutes to arrive…

Twenty minutes, I can still rescue the Devil's Eye, so I have to gradually use him, I can't use him directly here… Zhang Yuanqing thought, looking down at the disguise ring.

He planned to use a Yin Corpse to impersonate his father.

He raised his hand, his palm covering his face.

As the water-like soft light flickered, his face quickly twisted and stabilized, turning into a refined and gentle man, thirty-two or three years old.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and entered Dog Elder's phone number.

Zoo, in a lush green corner, a secluded bungalow.

The lights were bright, in the spacious and simple room.

In front of the desk by the window, the female marshal with a head of white hair leaned lazily on the back of her chair. Her long legs in black riding pants were casually resting on the edge of the desk.

She not only had fluffy white hair, but even her eyelashes were white.

Thick and curly, like two small white brushes, beneath the eyelashes were a pair of light green pupils, not white eyes, clear and bright, like the most beautiful gems in the world. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, making her look spirited.

Her appearance was as outstanding as her eyes, with thin lips, a straight nose, and long, straight eyebrows. Her temperament was not gentle, charming, or ethereal, but a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.

However, the chocolate ball in her mouth, her slightly bulging cheeks, and the "Doraemon" comic book in her hand diluted her majesty a lot.

And the piles of comic books, romance novels, and cheap milk tea on the table made her alliance leader's majesty disappear completely.

The female marshal was flaunting the chocolate ball in her mouth while enthusiastically reading the comic book, and the high-top boots on the edge of the table were swinging lightly.

The female marshal had been in Songhai for some time, and it was announced to the public that she was in seclusion to comprehend kendo, and then she never left the bungalow.

Every day, she reads comic books, drinks milk tea, and eats sweets.

She is very much a homebody, anyway, staying in a dungeon and staying in a zoo are essentially the same.

Her unqualified younger brother had come to see her a few times, nagging her: Your sword energy is too strong, you must learn to restrain your edge to reach a higher level.

But Fu Qingxuan felt that kendo should be natural. She had already worked hard once to advance to demigod.

She didn't want to work hard anymore.

If it was natural, she would naturally realize how to restrain her edge in a few years.

So every time Fu Qingyang nagged, she would stuff a chocolate ball into his mouth.

After a few times, Fu Qingyang really didn't come anymore.

He probably cursed her trash in private again. Fu Qingxuan had never thought before that that kid would dare to slander her so much, and even say it in front of his subordinates.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Fu Qingxuan quickly opened her inventory and took out a jade bowl, putting all the snacks, drinks, and comic books on the table into it.

After doing all this, the knock on the door just rang.

"Come in!"

Elder "Huangsha Baizhan" at the door sensed that the restrictions surrounding the house had been lifted, and quickly twisted the doorknob.

Pushing open the door, the elder with graying temples saw a tall figure standing by the window, with her hands behind her back, silently looking at the scenery outside the window.

Her back gave people a suffocating majesty.

Huangsha Baizhan unconsciously lowered his head and said, "Marshal, something has happened."

Fu Qingxuan did not turn around, flaunting a chocolate ball in her mouth, and made a majestic nasal sound: "Hmm~"

Huangsha Baizhan reported: "Fear King attacked the No. 3 Prison in Pingchuan City, and released all the criminals inside, claiming to give them back their freedom. The Spirit Realm walkers of the local branch rushed to the prison to check the situation and encountered Fear King, who was staying in the prison, and never came out again."

"Marshal, the lives and deaths of our colleagues in Pingchuan are unknown, the criminals are fleeing outside, and if Fear King continues to attack other prisons, the situation will definitely be a mess, and the colleagues in the Pingchuan branch are now panicked."

"The four alliance leaders are all in the capital, so we can only ask you to take action." As an elder of the White Tiger Legion, as a Craftsman, even if it involved a demigod-level powerhouse, he still remained quite calm and composed.

"Return freedom to the criminals? Has Fear gone this far?" The female marshal's voice was cold and majestic, "But it doesn't matter, I will take action, you just need to tell me where Pingchuan City is."

"Three hundred kilometers away from Songhai, northwest." Elder Huangsha Baizhan seemed to know the marshal's situation very well, "I have already sent the location to your phone."

The marshal nodded, "Tell "Old Man and Dog", I'm going out for a while. When I'm not here, remember to transfer the Devil's Eye to the deeper area of the zoo."

As soon as she finished speaking, the window glass "bang" shattered, followed by a deafening sonic boom.

Huangsha Baizhan raised his eyes and saw a snow-white sword light soaring into the sky, as fast as a meteor, flashing past.

The marshal was gone.

"What happened?"

A gentle voice came from behind.

Huangsha Baizhan turned around and saw a curly-haired teddy bear squatting at the door, its black button-like pupils staring at him.

"Fear King is causing trouble in Pingchuan City. The Pingchuan branch asked the patrol department for help. They couldn't contact Fu Qingyang, so they turned to me," Huangsha Baizhan said.

"Fear King?" Dog Elder stepped into the room, "This guy has been a bit active lately. I hope the marshal can give him a lesson this time. The marshal's sword energy is not so easily removed…"

He suddenly twitched his nose, "What's that smell?"

"What smell?" Huangsha Baizhan sniffed, but there was no smell.

Dog Elder sniffed as he walked around the room: "There's a sweet smell like… chocolate?"

Huangsha Baizhan looked at him with a "are you crazy" look, "How could there be a chocolate smell in the marshal's room."

"... Maybe I smelled it wrong?" Dog Elder himself felt incredible. He didn't dwell on the topic and said in a deep voice, "Why is Fear King causing trouble at this time? I'm a little worried…"

Huangsha Baizhan pondered: "Are you worried about Fu Qingyang's side?"

Dog Elder nodded: "If the marshal is entangled by Fear, then if something happens on Jinshan City's side, she will definitely not be able to rush back."

"Don't worry, there are so many dominators. As long as they don't encounter a demigod, there won't be a big problem," Huangsha Baizhan said with a smile, "Even if they encounter a demigod, Elder Gao Feng has a rule-based item that can block even the marshal's sword energy."

Only then did Dog Elder's dog face ease slightly. "By the way, the marshal told me to warn you to transfer the Devil's Eye to the inner area of the zoo when she's not here." Huangsha Baizhan didn't stay long, and after chatting for a few words, he left the zoo.

Dog Elder slowly paced out of the room, walked to the door, suddenly turned back, sniffed hard, smelling left and right, and muttered: "Didn't smell it wrong, it's really the smell of chocolate… No, impossible, how could the marshal eat chocolate…"

While muttering, the plants in the flower bed at the door swayed "rustlingly".

Dog Elder pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, understanding the information conveyed by the flowers and plants. —The phone he left in the room was ringing.

Dog Elder immediately turned into a green light and disappeared. The next moment, he returned to the pet shop at the deepest part of the outer perimeter of the zoo.

The motive on the table was ringing tirelessly. It was a video call from an unknown number.

Dog Elder jumped onto the desk, pondered for a few seconds, and raised his paw to pat the answer button.

The video call was connected. After a two-second pause, a refined and gentle face appeared on the screen.

Dog Elder's black button-like eyes suddenly widened.

Like a startled pet dog, it took a few steps back reflexively.
