Chapter 1 Leaving Mr. Bill's Residence

Leaving Mr. Bill's residence, Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the white sedan downstairs, opened the passenger seat, and got in.

"Captain, am I taking you to Fujiawan or your house?"

The driver was a sexy girl with silver hoop earrings, smoky makeup, and an off-the-shoulder T-shirt.

"Back to the villa."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said.

He had already called his aunt to let her know he was safe. As for his grandparents, he told them that he would be staying at Guan Ya's house for a few days. His grandparents were very happy to hear that. The old couple had worked hard all their lives, owning a car and a house with no worries about retirement, but their biggest worry was the marriage of the next generation and the generation after that. In the past few years, they had endured and raised three single dogs who were of marriageable age but didn't even talk about finding a partner. Their faces were written with "So my whole life I was unrestrained and loved freedom, but now I finally have a single dog who has figured it out and knows how to find a girlfriend. Your grandparents are very pleased and strongly support you."

"Okay!" The queen gently stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove smoothly out of the apartment. She held the steering wheel with both hands and said in a casual tone, "Captain, Guan Ya said your fighting skills have improved quickly? Well, I haven't trained my physical skills for a while, how about we train together in the future?"

"Why don't you ask Guan Ya?" Zhang Yuanqing replied casually.

"I want to find a sparring partner, not get beaten up." The queen curled her lips.

Her fighting skills were professionally trained, otherwise she wouldn't be able to serve as the team leader, but because the Water Ghost's bonus to physical fitness was not significant, she didn't delve deeply into fighting skills.

She had spent the last few days indulging in pleasure with Xie Lingxi, going through all the fun places in Songhai, and now it was time to return to normal.

*Maybe Guan Ya is worried that she doesn't have a chance to beat you up, maybe she will even trick Xie Lingxi into beating you up...* Zhang Yuanqing slandered in his heart, "Let's talk about it when we have time." He敷衍(fū yǎn, perfunctorily) said, leaning back in his chair, letting his thoughts wander:

First, pay back the money owed to Fu Qingyang. This *Tianzun* has an iron backbone and cannot be favored by others in everything, although he gave a lot...

The goal for the next few days is to practice the Breaking Evil Charm hard. Before returning the Demon Subduing Pestle, I must master the talisman techniques. In the future, the Breaking Evil Charm will be a substitute for the Demon Subduing Pestle...

Fu Qingyang should be in a meeting. I don't know if the organization has a way to catch the Pure Yang Leader. I guess there won't be a particularly good way. Evil professionals are so difficult to catch, and ancient cultivators who are not restricted by moral values will only be more difficult...

If I can't find him, then I have to find a way to stop him from eating people and delay his recovery as much as possible. When the car drove into Fujiawan, Zhang Yuanqing had a flash of inspiration and thought that the Breaking Evil Charm was the best choice.

The Pure Yang Leader is too weak, and the weakened primordial spirit has been "purified" by the Demon Subduing Pestle. The nutrients that ordinary people can provide him are limited. In this context, he can only devour the spiritual bodies of mortals while searching for Lingjing Xingzhe in the extraordinary realm.

As long as I give each of the Night Watchers (夜游神, Yèyóushén) of the Taiyi Sect a Breaking Evil Charm, the Pure Yang Leader will be dumbfounded. He can only go to the Illusionists, and the Illusionists, as evil professionals, will be even more restrained. Wouldn't this delay the Pure Yang Leader's recovery speed?

And I can take the opportunity to make a fortune. But this may excessively consume the power of the Demon Subduing Pestle, putting Niangniang's half of her yang soul in a weak state... Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and decided to summon the old *bangzi* again in three days to ask for her opinion.

——The old *bangzi* needs to be separated by three days each time she descends before she can return to reality; "Well, let's ask Fu Qingyang first, what if the organization doesn't need the Breaking Evil Charm?"

At the conference table, the elders looked at the newly promoted young elder. Fu Qingyang's eyes were calm, and he looked around and said in a clear voice:

"The theme of this meeting is the follow-up to the Jin Hui City ancient tomb incident. Some elders may not know the specifics of the Jin Hui City ancient tomb incident, so I will briefly explain." A few days ago, archaeologists excavated an ancient tomb in Jin Hui City and transported a bronze sculpture from the tomb. The Jin Hui City fog incident was caused by it.

"According to the investigation by several deacons of the Anti-disaster Branch and Yuan Shi Tianzun, it was confirmed that it was an Yin object puppet made by ancient practitioners. They discovered that those ancient tombs were the sealed abbeys of the Pure Yang Sect, a Song Dynasty immortal sect."

"So I reported it to the Hangcheng Branch, and Elder Gao Feng led a team to explore the ancient tomb. They released the resentful spirit sealed in the ancient tomb and eliminated it. So what?" The red-haired youth frowned and said, "This is not enough to convene a Ten Elders meeting, right?"

Elder Zhao, a Day Wanderer (日游神, Rìyóushén), seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

The elders turned their attention to Elder Gao Feng, who participated in the meeting.

Elder Gao Feng, wearing old mountaineering clothes, nodded slightly. As the person involved, he took over the topic:

"Everyone, that resentful spirit claimed to be the Pure Yang Leader. Because the spiritual power of heaven and earth is scarce, his direct disciple, in order to break through to the Day Wanderer realm, attempted to seize his Day Wanderer power, so he colluded with evil cultivators to deceive his master and destroy his ancestor, and sealed him in the ancient tomb."

"Whether it's true or false, he is indeed not a kind person and was killed by me on the spot. But Fu Qingyang called me this morning and said that the Pure Yang Leader was not dead and most likely possessed the deacons present." I personally checked it again. The three deacons of the Hangzhou branch were not possessed. However, a security guard who was responsible for guarding outside the ancient tomb at that time died suddenly at home last night!" So I agree with his words that the Pure Yang Leader is not dead.

Hearing this, no further explanation was needed. The elders present instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

An ancient Day Wanderer with an evil mind, unrestrained by moral values, will surely set off a storm in the real world once he regains his strength. Even these elders are in danger. Under the same level, Lingjing Xingzhe cannot defeat ancient cultivators in reality.

Moral values are a knife hanging over the heads of contemporary Lingjing Xingzhe, while ancient cultivators can have no bottom line in order to win, but are not restricted by moral values.

Elder Zhao looked the most anxious, with his hands on the table, and said:

"Is there any more detailed information? I need to know his specific methods and level, the more detailed the better." He finally understood why Di Hong invited the Taiyi Sect to participate in the Ten Elders meeting, because the Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect were the most dangerous in this incident.

Fu Qingyang said slowly, "Day Wanderer, also practices Illusionist skills, the specific level is unknown. This person once wreaked havoc everywhere, and disciples in the Dominator realm led the congregation to encircle and suppress him, which led to the decline of the Pure Yang Sect."

Elder Zhao's expression became more solemn and he said in a deep voice: "I understand."

At this time, the red-haired youth asked: "That Pure Yang Leader has already escaped, right? Fu Qingyang, where did you get the information from? You know more than Lao Gao."

This was exactly what everyone was curious about. The impatient Fire Master once again acted as everyone's question-and-answerer. Except for the Great Elder Di Hong, the eight elders at the table all turned their attention to Fu Qingyang.

"Yuan Shi Tianzun reported it." Fu Qingyang was like an emotionless broadcasting tool.

"The direct disciple of the Pure Yang Leader is the Mountain God Niangniang of the Three Dao Mountain in the Killing Spirit Tunnel instance. She has always been in contact with Yuan Shi Tianzun. Last night, he conveyed this matter to the Three Dao Mountain Niangniang and received feedback from her."

It's Yuan Shi Tianzun again... Both sides of the conference table were silent.

"It's really interesting. Although this kid is a Saint, we have held two Ten Elders meetings because of him in a month." A mature and plump female elder shook her head and smiled.

"This just shows that Yuan Shi Tianzun is extraordinary. What I am most worried about is that he will become more mediocre as he gets higher in level. Showing talent in the extraordinary stage is difficult to represent the future." An elder of the White Tiger soldiers said, "Back then, which of us wasn't a genius?"

"It's her..." Several elders who had watched the Killing Spirit Tunnel instance suddenly understood.

Dog Elder pondered: "That Niangniang is proud and difficult to get along with, but as far as I know, she is still upright. It is not difficult to see from the records of the Mountain God Temple that she does have a compassionate heart to benefit one side. His words are equivalent to endorsing the reliability of the information."

Elder Di Hong opened his mouth, "There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the information. I have already asked the head of the Zhao family to cast a divination. The divination is ominous. After the meeting, Elder Zhao can also observe the stars based on this known information and will receive enlightenment."

"The purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to deal with this Pure Yang Leader." As soon as the Great Elder opened his mouth, the conference table immediately became quiet.

Great Elder Di Hong continued: "Elder Gao Feng, transport the skeleton in the stone coffin to the capital and give it to the Taiyi Sect to see if Elder Zhao can gain enlightenment from it. I will ask the head of the Zhao family to go to the capital to try to divination."

"If the Pure Yang Leader wants to understand the information of Lingjing Xingzhe, he will definitely hunt down low-level practitioners. Let the employees in Songhai, San Zhuang Province, and Jiangnan Province be more vigilant. If they encounter an ambush, report it immediately."

"Fu Qingyang, notify Yuan Shi Tianzun and let him have a chance to contact that Mountain God Niangniang again and consult her opinion."

"From now on, establish an arrest team, led by Elder Gao Feng, with the cooperation of various branches. Elder Zhao, the Pure Yang Leader is a Day Wanderer, and your Taiyi Sect needs to arrange an elder to cooperate with Elder Gao Feng."

He arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.

After Elder Di Hong finished speaking, a young woman with a pale face and heavy dark circles said, "Great Elder, I have a question!"

"Everyone knows that Illusionists may not be the strongest in combat among evil professionals, but they are definitely the most cunning and difficult to catch. The Pure Yang Leader counts as half an Illusionist." It is difficult to catch him, and he is a Day Wanderer. As we all know, Taiyin symbolizes secrecy, and divination and star observation may not be able to find him. If we drag it on for too long, it will become a big trouble. Should we have a backup plan?"

Great Elder Di Hong nodded slowly, "Reasonable. So, Elder Sickly, what are your thoughts?"

The woman with heavy dark circles looked a little embarrassed and said: "Great Elder, I have emphasized many times, just call me Elder Sickly in public, don't call my full name. I didn't know any better when I was young and took a random online name, and now I regret it to death."

Dog Elder said with a smile: "Elder Sickly, if you think about it, Yuan Shi Tianzun doesn't feel ashamed, do you feel better?"

Elder Sickly took a deep breath and said: "I won't emphasize the special nature of ancient cultivators. If the Pure Yang Leader wants to restore his cultivation, Night Watchers and Illusionists are the most dangerous. If we can protect low-level Night Watchers as much as possible, we can cut off his resources."

The red-haired youth touched his chin, thought for a few seconds, and exclaimed: "This idea is great, Elder Sickly is really smart!"

... The female elder with heavy dark circles glanced at him unhappily. However, the other elders did not smile, but frowned. Elder Di Hong pondered: "To deal with resentful spirits, Night Watchers naturally need to take action. Elder Zhao, what do you think?"

Elder Zhao said in a deep voice: "To meet Elder Sickly's requirements, the best way I can think of is to mass-produce Sealing Charms, which have miraculous effects on dealing with resentful spirits. But the Pure Yang Leader is not an ordinary resentful spirit, so the effect may not be ideal."

"To go a step further, we need to make Day Wanderer's power into consumables. There are several Dominator-level props in the Taiyi Sect that can make holy water, but the production is limited and cannot meet the needs of the bottom Night Watchers in the sect."

In short, high-level power cannot be popularized at the bottom. There are not many ways to popularize Dominator-level Day Wanderer power to the bottom. Dominator-level power is very precious; if it can be mass-produced, the Night Watchers would have one in hand long ago.

Moreover, excessive consumption of the props' power will cause the props to enter a weak period and even reduce their quality, after all, energy is conserved.

Elder Zhao also said: "Elder Sun learned a method of making a talisman in the dungeon, called the Yang Flame Talisman, a Dominator-level talisman, equivalent to a full-force strike from a Day Wanderer. But this powerful talisman is even more impossible to popularize, the consumption of power for making it is extremely large, and Elder Sun is not a donkey in the production team."

The female elder of the Hundred Flowers Association said helplessly: "It's better to recall the Night Watchers from all the major branches, just treat it as giving them a vacation."

Dog Elder sighed and gave his opinion: "Not a bad idea."

At this time, Fu Qingyang raised his hand and said: "Great Elder, I need to mute for a moment!"

Bringing up muting at such an important meeting must mean that something big is going on. Elder Di Hong nodded in agreement.

In the small hall next to the study, Fu Qingyang looked at the subordinate who sent him a text message saying he had important things to report and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one minute."

This was the first time he had participated in a Ten Elders meeting, and if the gentle Great Elder Di Hong knew that he had left in the middle to meet with a subordinate, he would probably fly to Songhai to beat him.

"Boss, I want to do a deal with the organization," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"This is a very important thing?" Fu Qingyang's face twitched, and he reflected on whether he was too tolerant of Yuan Shi Tianzun, to the point of spoiling him.
