Chapter 131 The Leader's Long-Cherished Wish

"Does this seem like a parasitic Gu beast with considerable intelligence?" Tian Xia Gui Huo examined the grotesque grimace, then looked at Zhao Chenghuang beside him, and said,

"So, San Yang Kai Tai Tai was already dead. The Gu beast also has intelligence; it seems to know quite a bit of information. You could consider Spirit Devouring."

Zhao Chenghuang's mouth twitched. "Devouring this kind of filthy spirit will only accelerate my madness. Yuanshi Tianzun can try it."

He turned his head to look at the bare-handed Yuanshi Tianzun. "Anyway, you're just an avatar of his."

After the prediction ended, the effects of the rules disappeared. After the avatar tore off the perfect human skin, he had already reacted, remembering that this wasn't his true body.

"What about avatars? Avatars have no human rights?" Zhang Yuanqing spat a mouthful of saliva at him. "The main body is already seizing the armored man. Just wait for him to come back and share the information."

As expected... Tian Xia Gui Huo and Zhao Chenghuang exchanged glances. The former pondered for a moment, glanced at the human skin, and said,

"You're actually not affected by the armored man. How did you do it?"

"Hehe, I have my own wonderful plans. Don't ask, because I won't tell you even if you do," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Who is the armored man? Is it Ren Junzi?" Tian Xia Gui Huo asked again.

"Won't tell you," the avatar hummed.

This avatar is as annoying as the main body... Zhao Chenghuang and Tian Xia Gui Huo both had this thought simultaneously.

"You, what are you talking about? What main body, what avatar?"

The grotesque grimace on his back sensed that something was wrong.

"Since none of you are going to devour it, there's no point in keeping it." Tian Xia Gui Huo's eyes were cold, and the Crimson Flame Fire Blade pressed against the grimace bulging out of the skin and stabbed down forcefully.

Amidst a heart-wrenching scream, black smoke billowed, a burnt smell wafted through the air, and the grotesque grimace turned into charred remains.

When a person is about to die, their spiritual power will weaken along with their body, but Ren Junzi's spirit was like a hard piece of steel.

Hard, condensed, difficult to digest.

Even weakened, the swordsman's steely will was not to be underestimated.

The difficulty of seizing a living person was far greater than devouring remnant spirits after death.

"Don't even think about seizing me. I've received the Great Protector's blessing. Spirit Devouring won't work on me. Don't even think about getting any information," Ren Junzi's spirit transmitted intense emotional fluctuations.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yuanqing started Spirit Devouring, a bright, clear moonlight shone from Ren Junzi's spirit, gradually pushing Zhang Yuanqing's spirit away.

As if stimulated, Zhang Yuanqing's spirit burst out with even stronger moonlight. In the high sky, the outline of a black crescent moon faintly emerged.

This black moon was blurry, the same as the black moon aura of the character card, but it seemed to be a projection.

The black moon seems to have merged with my spirit a little, and its projection came over with my spirit... Zhang Yuanqing didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

The moonlight in Ren Junzi's spirit instantly collapsed, and his will was erased along with it.

Because it wasn't Spirit Devouring after death, the memories were complex and vast, flooding in like a tide, repeatedly washing over Zhang Yuanqing's spirit.

In a series of fragmented scenes, Zhang Yuanqing found the information he wanted.

It was a spacious master bedroom with luxurious and high-end decor. Ren Junzi was standing by the bed, listening to the phone:

"You did well, very well!"

"Prepare yourself and find an opportunity to enter Qin Feng Academy. The leader's long-cherished wish for many years might be fulfilled by you. You should understand what kind of credit this is."

In another equally luxurious and high-end bedroom.

Ren Junzi was sitting at the table, holding his phone. A voice that sounded like clearing phlegm came from the phone:

"The leader observed the heavens at night and saw the trajectory of the future. He said that after you enter Qin Feng Academy, as long as you pay attention to Mermaid Lake, you can find that treasure for him."

"But remember, this trip is fraught with danger, and there may be bloodshed. The leader said that caution, carefulness, decisiveness, and swiftness are the keys to resolving the crisis."

In addition to the above information, Zhang Yuanqing also saw a lot of Ren Junzi's private affairs.

For example, on the way home from work, a golden compass shattered the car window and smashed into the car;

For example, he was an orphan who had been trained in a secret training camp with dense forests since he was a child.

The instructors in the training camp trained everyone according to their personality and strengths, making the irritable people even more irritable; the dull people even more dull; and the calm people even calmer.

They cultivated abilities such as combat, resistance to strikes, and reasoning, gradually moving closer to corresponding professions.

Among them, a small number of people would obtain character cards and become Lingjing Xingzhe.

After receiving the Great Protector's blessing, these Lingjing Xingzhe were assigned to various official branches, entered Lingjing families, and some would hide among the people, active in society under various identities, befriending official practitioners and members of the aristocratic families, and developing them into members of the Night Rose.

Of course, there were also memories of recently harming Xia Chaoxue, Lin Su, and San Yang Kai Tai Tai. Ren Junzi used the compass fragments to harm San Yang Kai Tai Tai, implanting a parasitic Gu beast in his body, turning it into a "companion."

Yesterday, when fighting the Tiger King, knowing that the Tiger King would break into the library, he deliberately allowed San Yang Kai Tai Tai to be seriously injured by the Tiger King, then dragged him out of the library and handed the compass fragments to San Yang Kai Tai Tai, asking him to make a prediction, while he rushed into the library to fight, in order to show his innocence.

This was deliberately done to expose San Yang Kai Tai Tai's flaws, causing Yuanshi Tianzun to suspect him, and then using the compass to predict the actions of the four people tonight, while he secretly launched a surprise attack on Sun Miaomiao.

Of course, in the memory, there were also his soul-stirring experiences with Teacher Song Man.

Before long, Zhang Yuanqing withdrew from Spirit Interrogation.

He pressed his head, his forehead throbbing with pain, his face twisted with joy and sorrow, a distorted expression.

It took a long time to suppress the negative effects of Spirit Devouring, and he felt that the Taiyin power in his body had slightly increased.

--Use one less Poshazhu Talisman whenever possible. If you can carry it yourself, try not to use it.

"Hoo~"

Zhang Yuanqing let out a breath and bent down to pick up the golden compass that had fallen on the ground.

He carefully read the item information. Although he had already learned about the function of this item through Ren Junzi's memory, he still clicked his tongue.

"So perverted, but it's a pity that it's only of Saint-level quality and doesn't work on Sovereigns."

If it was a Sovereign-level item, he would have made a fortune.

"The legendary fragments of the Light Compass, were they snatched by that chairman back then? Tsk, let me think, should I pocket it or hand it over?" Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.

He was actually inclined to hand over the compass and exchange it for benefits.

Because the storm Ren Junzi created was destined to be impossible to hide from headquarters, the difficulty of pocketing the golden compass was very high, and he had to give the official a explanation.

That chairman was still offering a reward for the lost items, maybe he could get a top-quality item from him.

But Ren Junzi's purpose in entering Qin Feng Academy, he chose to hide. When headquarters asked, he would say he didn't know, and he was just an innocent victim.

If headquarters asked, "Didn't you Spirit Devour?" he would say that Ren Junzi had the means to erase spirits, and at the moment of death, his soul was scattered.

Stroking the golden compass in his hand, Zhang Yuanqing thought of the inheritance left by his father. He suspected that it was also a fragment of the Light Compass, but there was no evidence.

First put it away, and after leaving the Spirit Realm, ask Palace Master and Fu Qingyang for their opinions before deciding whether to hand over the compass fragments or keep them himself... Zhang Yuanqing put the compass into the item bar.

Then, he began to think about the information he obtained through Spirit Devouring.

A certain sentence from the Great Protector on the phone made him very concerned: The leader's long-cherished wish for many years might be fulfilled by you.

"Many people know about the hidden mission of Qin Feng Academy, but that leader seems to know that there is something in the dungeon, otherwise, where would the 'long-cherished wish' come from? This is strange. The dungeon has never been opened, and the higher-ups of Hundred Flowers Association don't know what's inside."

"It's impossible for the leader of Night Rose to know. Perhaps there is another possibility. The so-called long-cherished wish is just to enter the hidden dungeon of Qin Feng Academy?"

Just like Fu Qingyang.

Fu Qingyang took the initiative to mention the hidden mission of Qin Feng Academy to him, never forgetting it, but regretting that he could no longer enter the academy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing's heart beat wildly a few times.

He thought of a possibility. If, um, just if, the leader of Night Rose had entered Qin Feng Academy before and accidentally discovered the hidden mission.

But at that time, his abilities were limited, or he didn't take it to heart. Years later, he reacted and used star gazing to deduce that there was an extremely important treasure in the dungeon of Qin Feng Academy.

Only Lingjing Xingzhe cultivated by the official could enter Qin Feng Academy in the early stages. Is the leader of Night Rose from the official side? No, he used to be from the official side? Hiss, this idea is a bit terrifying to think about...

"When I leave the academy, I'll look through the list of people who entered Qin Feng Academy in the past. My guess may not be correct, but it won't hurt to check. Night Rose has provoked me several times, so investigating their leader is a must," Zhang Yuanqing thought.

At this moment, Sun Miaomiao by the window shouted, "What are you spacing out for? What information is in Ren Junzi's spirit?"

Zhang Yuanqing first put away Little Red Riding Hood and Ten Thousand Slayers, then threw the Soul Summoning Banner to Sun Miaomiao. Just as he was about to explain the information, he heard Teacher Song Man in the hallway groan and wake up faintly.

Her pupils lacked focus. After a few seconds, she finally remembered what happened before she fainted, and she jumped up, summoned her weapon, and rushed into the room.

Then she saw Yuanshi Tianzun standing by the bed, Sun Miaomiao slumped on the chaise lounge, and Ren Junzi, who had died by the wall.

The room was filled with the smell of blood.

"Yuanshi Tianzun? You..." Song Man looked at the corner of the wall in confusion. "He..."

Her mind was still a little confused, and she only remembered that Ren Junzi had attacked her.

"He is the armored man," Zhang Yuanqing said lightly.

"And he's a pervert who was planning to molest Miaomiao. Fortunately, I arrived in time to save her. He even pinched Miaomiao's butt several times. When headquarters asks, Teacher Song Man has to testify for us."

"Ren Junzi is the armored man?" Song Man bared her white teeth. "No wonder I didn't think Miaomiao was the culprit. I fell for his trick just now. Bah, I thought his bed skills were pretty good."

You female sea king, Teacher Song Man, you and Ling Jun are a good match. I'll introduce you to him later, so you can both wear hats on each other... Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.

Walking to the chaise lounge, he picked up Sun Miaomiao in his arms and said,

"There won't be any danger anymore, Teacher Song Man. I'll take Miaomiao back first. You deal with the body. In a few hours, we'll be out of the dungeon. See you again if fate allows."

Song Man was full of doubts, but Zhang Yuanqing didn't give her a chance and walked out of the room with Sun Miaomiao in his arms.

Leaving the girls' dormitory, Zhang Yuanqing walked straight towards the boys' dormitory. The moonlight was bright, and frost covered the ground, but the delicate flowers could no longer be seen by the flower bed.

--They were all poisoned to death.

Sun Miaomiao leaned against Zhang Yuanqing's arms, tilting her head, her eyes slanting towards the ground, looking a little stiff and unnatural.

"Haven't you been held by a man before?"

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her. "Tsk tsk, you're so old and haven't had a boyfriend."

Sun Miaomiao was three years older than him. She had delicate features and a good family background. She probably didn't lack suitors.

"None of your business, too much nonsense," Sun Miaomiao pouted.

"You look cute, but your personality isn't cute at all." Zhang Yuanqing pinched her soft, elastic butt hard.

Sun Miaomiao had a youthful appearance, with big, round eyes like a pure girl, but in reality, she had a shapely figure, with a full and fleshy butt, already possessing the plumpness of a mature woman, not the small butt of a girl.

She was a rare pure and seductive type.

"You, you, you..." Sun Miaomiao's face flushed, and she said angrily, "You wait, when we get out of the dungeon, I'll have my grandfather beat you to death."

Feeling that it wasn't enough to vent her anger, she angrily reached out and tore at Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

She was pinched a few more times.

Boys' dormitory, room 508.

Xiahou Aotian's room.

Zhang Yuanqing put the limp Sun Miaomiao on the chaise lounge, sat down next to her, and looked at the three companions and one avatar and said,

"You're all looking at me a little strangely."

Zhao Chenghuang and Tian Xia Gui Huo didn't speak. Xiahou Aotian frowned and said,

"What's with the scratches on your face? Did the armored man scratch you?"

"Oh, Miaomiao scratched these. I saved her, and she wanted to offer herself to me, but I refused. Hmph, no way!"

"Bullshit, you were the one who took advantage of me."

"You couldn't walk on your own, is that my fault?"

Tian Xia Gui Huo impatiently interrupted:

"Alright, I'm not in the mood to listen to your flirting. Give me back the Ten Thousand Slayers."

Zhang Yuanqing took out the dark red full body armor and dropped it on the ground with a "clang."

Sun Miaomiao glared at Tian Xia Gui Huo, who was known as the shame of the fire masters:

"There was no flirting."

Tian Xia Gui Huo scoffed and quickly retrieved the Ten Thousand Slayers, while retorting, "Didn't you two think about having Teacher Song Man detoxify you? One wanted to hug, and one let him hug, that's all there is to it. What's there to show off?"

Zhang Yuanqing and Sun Miaomiao were stunned.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Tian Xia Gui Huo sneered disdainfully.

Tian Xia Gui Huo was indeed a fire master, and fire masters didn't understand romance.

Sun Miaomiao secretly glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, and puffed up her cheeks.

Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said:

"The armored man was Ren Junzi, and I've already killed him."

He narrated what happened, took the handed-over human skin, and then took out the Yata Mirror to retrieve the avatar.

"So that's how it is." Tian Xia Gui Huo asked in understanding, "What are you planning to do with that compass item?"

"Most likely I'll have to hand it over. It'll be hard to fool headquarters, so I'm planning to consult Elder Fu first," Zhang Yuanqing said his thoughts. "Before that, let's agree on a story to avoid being detected by headquarters."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they find out. At most, they'll suspect, but they won't be able to verify whether the dungeon was opened," Zhao Chenghuang said.

Next, the group agreed on a unified statement. After finalizing it, Zhang Yuanqing said:

"I think it's necessary to add another layer of insurance. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's better to be careful."

"What insurance?"

"I have a gang token. You can join my gang. Members must not betray each other, to prevent Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao from leading their family elders to assassinate us later," Zhang Yuanqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Moreover, when it comes to dividing materials, we don't have to meet in private. I'll just put them in the gang warehouse, and you can apply for them. The same goes for antiques. Hand over the antiques to Xiahou Aotian for auction, and we'll share the money we earn."

The grassroots Tian Xia Gui Huo immediately nodded, "I agree."

Sun Miaomiao rolled her eyes and didn't object.

Zhao Chenghuang pondered for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be a loss.

The gang token could indeed increase trust, and the primary gang token had limited functions, with almost no additional restrictions on the members.

Xiahou Aotian thought for a while and snorted:

"Alright, if I get a gang token in the future, you have to join my gang too. I've already thought of a name, called 'Savior Squad,' not bad, right?"

What a crappy name... everyone thought.

Immediately, they heard the Spirit Realm prompt:

[Ding! Yuanshi Tianzun invites you to join the gang--Return of the Dead!]

What a crappy name?! Everyone had this thought again.

Xiahou Aotian laughed:

"Yuanshi Tianzun, your ability to come up with names exposes that you're just a supporting character. The protagonist has to be me, hahaha!"

Sun Miaomiao's focus was different. She opened the member information, glanced at the Spirit Realm ID, and frowned:

"They're all female members..."

She knew Xie Lingxi and Asano Ryo, but she didn't know Xiao Yuan, but no man would name himself "Xiao Yuan," right?

"None of your business," Zhang Yuanqing was very vengeful.

Sun Miaomiao gnashed her teeth: "I'll quit the gang after the transaction is over."

Members cannot voluntarily leave the gang; only the gang leader can actively kick people out.

Xiahou Aotian yawned: "We leave the academy at nine in the morning, so we can still sleep for a while. Everyone, leave."

Tian Xia Gui Huo left first.

Zhao Chenghuang glanced at Sun Miaomiao, then at Zhang Yuanqing, and nodded to the two of them.

Uh, did he misunderstand... Zhang Yuanqing thought, turning his head to look, and Sun Miaomiao also looked embarrassed.

"Are you going to detoxify yourself, or should I use the Mountain God Scepter to detoxify you and then carry you to rest, and maybe have a child along the way?" Zhang Yuanqing teased.

"Go, go, go, you pervert." Sun Miaomiao still had detoxification pills, so she immediately took one out of the item bar and swallowed it.

Her sore limbs gradually regained strength. She glared at the perverted Tianzun and disappeared into starlight.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately Star Escaped and left.

Back in the room, the first thing he heard was Hongjige's deafening snoring.

He was lying on the bed with his limbs spread out, his mouth slightly open, snoring loudly.

Is it because your future two ex-wives couldn't stand the snoring that they divorced you... Zhang Yuanqing slandered in his heart, endured the annoying snoring, got into bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

He would return to reality in another seven hours. There was no time to experience the shark queen's little tiger teeth. She was truly a peerless beauty. In terms of appearance, she was indeed unparalleled... He gradually fell asleep.

The next day, nine o'clock.

Zhang Yuanqing, who was in a light sleep, heard the familiar Spirit Realm prompt:

[Ding, congratulations on completing the multiplayer Spirit Realm--Qin Feng Academy, number: none, difficulty level: unknown, reward settlement is in progress...]

[Reward settlement in progress... Obtained item/props: none]

[Reward experience points: 0%]

[Settlement complete, exit the Spirit Realm in thirty seconds.]
