Chapter 1 Lingjing Xingzhe

On the stage, a figure in a gorgeous opera costume slowly materialized. She pinched her orchid fingers, her phoenix eyes bright and piercing, gazing at the elder Cai Qiao in the audience. Her voice was melodious and charming, "Wang Shi Wu Hen failed to break through to the demigod realm. Why are you only telling me this now?"

Elder Cai Chang bowed and said, "Your subordinate only just received the news." He bowed his head, and a gorgeous skirt appeared in his vision. Immediately after, his chin was lifted by a verdant jade finger.

Silently, the Master of the Water God Palace teleported from the stage to Elder Cai Chang's front.

"Interesting. I just used a tool to calculate a divination, and the hexagrams are all normal. How did you know that Wang Shi Wu Hen failed to break through to the demigod realm? Could it be that you, Cai Qinhe, can see through the secrets of Taiyin's hidden stars?"

That exquisite face, painted with red powder, carried a faint charming smile, but her eyes were as cold as water. "Cai Qinhe, it's foolish to play tricks in front of me. You and I are both unfeeling people, but we are also vengeful."

Her white and tender finger stroked Elder Cai Chang's face, and she smiled enchantingly, "My way of revenge is usually to send people back to the Lingjing."

Elder Cai Chang's expression remained unchanged, and he said bluntly, "Palace Master, Ling Tuo and the South Sect Master joined forces to snipe Wang Shi Wu Hen. Ling Tuo has been planning for a long time, and Wang Shi Wu Hen will undoubtedly die. You should take action. Demigod items cannot fall into the hands of the South Sect, otherwise there will be another Shura. Moreover, once Wang Shi Wu Hen goes mad, the people of Jinshan City will be doomed. Only your mirrored body can isolate the demigods from reality."

In front of a demigod, concealment and tricks are indeed meaningless. He didn't intend to hide anything, but to be open and honest, stating the advantages and disadvantages, and then let the Palace Master make her own decision.

Demigod-level items and the lives of the citizens of Jinshan are both things that the Palace Master cannot ignore. Elder Cai Chang was certain that the Palace Master would take action. This was an open plot.

As for scheming against a demigod and inviting punishment, that would be a matter for later. Of course, if the Palace Master could obtain the demigod-level item, he would not only be blameless, but would also have made a great contribution.

In Elder Cai Chang's view, dealing with Yuan Shi Tian Zun was just a side issue. Competing for the illusion god item was the main theme. If the Five Elements Alliance didn't interfere, Wang Shi Wu Hen's illusion god item would ultimately fall into the hands of the Dark Night Rose and the South Sect.

The Master of the Water God Palace snorted softly, "The Lord of the Middle Court is asleep, and that little white tiger is wandering in the dungeon. I and someone named Jiang will handle this matter. As for your little thoughts, I'll settle the score with you later."

Her body dissipated like bubbles, like a remnant shadow.

Zhao Xintong, why is that girl calling me for no reason? Zhang Yuanqing didn't avoid the Xie family's grandparents and answered the phone frankly.

"Yuan Shi Tian Zun," Zhao Xintong's weak and trembling voice rang out, "There is a Ruler, an official Ruler, who wants to kill us. We've been discovered. Come and save us. We're at home."

"Beep, beep, beep..." The call was abruptly cut off.

Zhang Yuanqing's scalp went numb, and the tipsy feeling of drunkenness instantly disappeared. Being targeted by an official Ruler at home, and the Ruler gave her time to call him... Cai Changlao is trying to replicate the ambush on the plane!

How did he locate Xiao Yuan? It's impossible to lock them down so quickly just by relying on surveillance cameras. As thoughts flashed through his mind, he felt a chill rising in his heart. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Senior, something has happened to my friend. I need to leave immediately. I need help."

The old ancestor frowned slightly, looked at him, her little face serious, and spoke frankly, "Are you sure you want to go? Have you forgotten your death tribulation?"

"I'm sure." Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate at all.

The old ancestor shook her head slightly. "Deep affection does not lead to long life. Xie Su, you accompany him on this trip."

Xie Su got up.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing had already taken out a matchbox and lit two matches in a row, wishing to obtain two teleportation jade talismans.

Then, he grabbed Little Red Riding Hood and summoned a level 4 Yin corpse, wishing to obtain a third teleportation jade talisman.

Then he summoned the clone outside the courtyard, handed over the Five Elements Spiritual Power Experience Card, the "Sacrifice to Heaven Suit," and three teleportation jade talismans to him. After thinking about it, considering that the clone might need help, he also gave the Ghost Bride to the clone.

"Go and save them quickly," Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.

The official Ruler clearly wanted to use Xiao Yuan to lure him to take action. Now that the goal had been achieved, it was very likely that Xiao Yuan and the others would be killed. Therefore, a strong person had to rush to support them immediately.

The clone nodded. The two of them were connected in spirit and shared the same soul, so there was no need to explain anything.

Watching the clone disappear, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xie Su again.

"Uncle Xie, take me to Chonghua Community in Jinshan City." The reason why he didn't use the teleportation jade talisman was because those two jade talismans had to be reserved to save Xiao Yuan and Kou Beiyue.

Although he could also use Little Red Riding Hood to store them, Zhang Yuanqing vaguely sensed the arrival of a killing tribulation.

If he had an accident, Xiao Yuan and Kou Beiyue in the hat would definitely die.

Only Xie Su was left, because Little Red Riding Hood could not accommodate Lingjing Xingzhe beyond her own level. Zhang Yuanqing was now at the peak of level six.

Xie Su grabbed a ball of red thread from his inventory, held the ball of red thread tightly, and whispered to himself, "Chonghua Community, Jinshan City!"

With that said, he held one end of the thread in one hand and threw the ball of red thread into the distance with the other. The red ball rolled on the ground, rolled into the void, and disappeared, leaving only a thin red thread.

"Jinshan City is not far from Pangxie City. Hold the red thread and follow it. It will take two minutes," Xie Su said, leading the red thread further and further away, walking into the void.

Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the anxiety in his heart, picked up the red thread, and followed him into the void.

In the room, Zhao Xintong hung up the phone. She knew that her time was running out. After discovering that the life force potion was not working, she realized that her life was coming to an end.

So she hung up the phone. At the end of her life, she still had other things to do.

Zhao Xintong dialed her grandfather's phone.

Ever since her father died when she was a child, her grandfather was the one who loved her the most. Her birth mother hated her, her stepfather abused her, and her withdrawn personality also made her classmates dislike her. The teacher often said, "Although they are wrong, you should also think about your own problems."

Only her grandfather treated her like a treasure. Her grandfather said she was a little angel. The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered: "Hello, Tongtong?"

Grandfather's voice was still gentle and kind, but the girl on the bed had already closed her eyes, never to hear it again. Her last words could not be said in the end ~ Grandpa, the world is too bitter, I want to go back to heaven.

"Cough cough, cough cough!"

Kou Beiyue coughed hoarsely. As his head spun and his consciousness became increasingly blurred, the virus was eroding his body, causing his organs to continuously fail.

The Rain Master released a plague, easily destroying his physical functions.

Kou Beiyue crawled and rolled to Xiao Yuan's door, and with great effort twisted open the door. He saw Xiao Yuan huddled at the door, her cheeks flushed, and her breath weak.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan."

Kou Beiyue cried out and pushed her hard, like a helpless child.

Xiao Yuan's lips moved, and she opened her mouth with difficulty, "Look, look at them."

"No need to look. One person in the room is dead, and the other is about to die. You two have the highest level and the best physique, so you can last a little longer." A leisurely voice came from the living room.

Tongtong is dead. Kou Beiyue sat down dejectedly, and Xiao Yuan looked sad. She looked at the cracked black jade stone in her palm.

Master Wu Hen had no feedback.

"Bro, boss..." A weak call came from the opposite room. He didn't even have the strength to move, so he could only let out a desperate call.

Kou Beiyue struggled to crawl towards the little fatty, but the person on the sofa in the living room didn't stop him. He watched like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Liangchen, I'm here, I'm here." Kou Beiyue held his hand.

The little fatty opened his eyes with difficulty and let out a weak and hoarse voice: "Boss, save, save me."

"I will, I will." Kou Beiyue tremblingly took out a tube of diluted life force potion, glanced back at the door, and saw that the official Ruler had not come in. With a nervous expression, he injected the life force potion into the little fatty's body.

It was given to them by Yuan Shi Tian Zun. A tube of concentrated life force potion was very rare, even a diluted one was a strategic material in the official organization.

However, the little fatty's body did not change at all, and the pupils in his eyes gradually turned gray.

"Why is this happening, why is this happening?" Kou Beiyue became anxious and coughed, coughing until his eyeballs were bloodshot, like a patient in the late stage of pulmonary disease.

A sneer came from the living room.

"His virus, the life force potion can't cure it."

The light in Kou Beiyue's eyes dimmed, but the gray eyes of the little fatty actually rekindled with light.

"Bo, boss, my time is running out. Listen to me, listen to me." The little fatty looked at him very attentively, very seriously. There was strength in his voice.

"I sensed it, I sensed his emotions. He's here for Yuan Shi Tian Zun. He won't kill us all immediately. This is your and Xiao Yuan's only hope. She has the highest level, and you have the strongest physique. You won't die immediately. Later, I'll hold him back. I can hold him back for two seconds, and then you immediately take Xiao Yuan away. Don't let Yuan Shi Tian Zun come over again. The guy named Cai won't let him go!"

His organs had already failed, and being able to say so much was probably a last-ditch effort.

Kou Beiyue's eyes were bloodshot, "We'll die together."

"Boss, boss, I've always listened to you. This time, listen to me, listen to me." The little fatty propped up his body and staggered out, "Give me a chance to atone for my sins. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally leak your information."

He, he rushed out of the room. He had always cared about this matter, like a tragic warrior, launching a charge against an invincible enemy.

"Thump!" Just as Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi rushed out of the room, his body fell limply and turned into a corpse.

But the unyielding soul broke free from the shackles of the body. As soon as the little fatty's spirit body appeared, he reached out and grabbed an ugly little cloth doll. The doll's eyes were simple, and its mouth was a line.

This was his trump card, a consumable item obtained in an A-level Saint dungeon—a Curse Child.

It could unleash a terrifying curse. Even a Ruler wouldn't be able to escape unscathed, but the price of the curse was life.

"I curse you with my soul, curse you to be scattered like me and die a horrible death!" Yu Liangchen Ze Zhu Er Shi said sternly.

The mouth of the Curse Child suddenly opened and swallowed Liangchen Ze Zhu Er Shi's soul.

Immediately after, black flames竄 up from the doll's body, quickly burning it. In the next second, black flames窜 up from Nu Tao Wu Qing's body, burning his flesh and soul.

Tears streamed down Kou Beiyue's face. He didn't care about the sadness and staggered out of the room. He bent down and picked up the weapon that had fallen to the ground, activating the weapon's bewitching ability, Bloodthirsty Rage, which could temporarily suppress the negative effects of the disease.

Like a small bull, he crashed open Xiao Yuan's room.

At the door, he saw her, her breath as weak as a thread, in a coma.

Kou Beiyue hugged Xiao Yuan in his arms and rushed towards the balcony with a fierce look. He jumped off the high-rise building.

However, he crashed into an invisible film. The film was made of water, blocking him. It was difficult to see with the naked eye and only appeared when touched.

Kou Beiyue and Xiao Yuan were bounced back and fell to the ground.

Xiao Yuan woke up faintly.

"Ridiculous!" Nu Tao Wu Qing's voice came from the living room. He had already extinguished the flames on his body. The so-called trump card, a curse created by a level 4 Saint sacrificing his life, only made him feel pain for a few seconds.

"What makes you think that I would forget to seal the residence and obediently wait here for Yuan Shi Tian Zun to rescue you? Of course, you may not live to see that time."

Kou Beiyue's face was full of despair. Xiao Yuan's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and her heartbeat became increasingly slow. The physique of a Spiritualist was naturally not comparable to that of a Gu Clan's Enchantress.

She smelled the aura of death. Past events flashed through her mind at this moment. Looking back on her life, there were too many regrets, too much resentment and hatred.

But after meeting him, the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

That night, if only she had let him stay overnight that night.

As she slowly closed her eyes, a figure appeared silently in front of her.

In the room, wearing bright yellow boots, a gorgeous robe, and a cyan jade belt around his waist, it was none other than Yuan Shi Tian Zun.
