Chapter 341: Surging Undercurrents
Xiao Yuan and Zhang Yuanqing and others got out of the car one after another, entered the hotel and took the elevator to room "404".
"Knock knock!" Xiao Yuan knocked on the door and whispered, "Master Wuhen, we're back!" After speaking, she gripped the doorknob and twisted it open with a click.
The scene before everyone's eyes changed. The carpeted corridor was replaced by cold black brick, the ceiling became a caisson painted with gods and Buddhas, and the walls became high pillars and latticed doors.
Everyone, including Zhang Yuanqing, immediately looked at the huge Buddha statue as tall as the caisson.
The Buddha statue lowered its eyes, appearing compassionate but actually ferocious, still the same as before, thankfully.
Zhang Yuanqing silently breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the others, and found that everyone looked relieved.
Obviously, the Wuhen Master who couldn't commit murder was a test of life and death.
Every time they went to a dungeon with two teams, the one most likely to go crazy wasn't the eccentric Fang Yi, the rebellious Tong Tong, or the combative Lin Chong, but Master Wuhen.
He had the highest level and the most accumulated madness. For the past twenty years, he had been walking a tightrope day and night.
Once he lost control and went mad, he would be far more terrifying than the demigods of the evil faction, because those demigods never suppressed their evil thoughts and vented their malice regularly, making them relatively stable.
"Master," Xiao Yuan bowed and said, "After you entered the dungeon, Dark Rose and the Southern School joined forces to hunt down Yuan Shiqing. The Southern School's Great Elder obtained the information of the hotel members from Liang Chenze Zhu'er Shi..."
She explained the beginning and end of the hunt, Yuan Shiqing's revenge, and the reason why everyone evacuated from the Wuhen Hotel.
"You can now fight the Dominator?" Master Wuhen's voice, suppressing pain, revealed a hint of relief. "Very good, your growth makes me happy, very good!"
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. The joy in Master Wuhen's tone surprised him. When he knew that Yuan Shiqing was the son of an old friend, the master only sighed and didn't show much joy.
Discovering a nephew who had been lost for many years, the level of surprise was not as great as the nephew getting 100 points on an exam.
This was clearly unreasonable.
"Master, does my growth make you so surprised?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, not understanding.
Master Wuhen didn't answer, but said, "I obtained a key item for advancing to demigod in the dungeon."
These words were like a thunderbolt striking everyone's ears, so shocking that Zhang Yuanqing forgot to ask the question just now.
He, he was about to advance to demigod?
Was I witnessing the birth of a demigod? No, was advancing to demigod so easy? Didn't he say that he was always controlling his experience points and lowering his rating?
Shouldn't he be among the weaker of the peak dominators? How was he about to advance to demigod?
Zhang Yuanqing was completely stunned. I wasn't prepared at all. It felt like going home one day, and his uncle suddenly told him happily: Yuanzi, you are actually my biological son. All these years, I've been playing a child-swap game with your mother.
Or grandma suddenly saying one day: Yuanzi, actually your aunt isn't your aunt, she was also born to your mother, she's your older sister.
It was about that kind of shock.
Compared to Yuan Shiqing's shock and surprise, Xiao Yuan, Kou Beiyue, and Zhao Xintong's expressions changed drastically.
"Master, are you really okay?" Xiao Yuan said, her face pale. "One step further, and it's the abyss."
The higher the level of evil profession, the stronger the evil thoughts. Master was already walking a tightrope before, and now advancing to demigod, wasn't that walking on a knife's edge? How could he restrain his own madness? This was seeking death!
What was Master thinking!
Xiao Yuan didn't feel any joy, only fear and incomprehension. The little fatty felt the same as the three. He was from the Southern School and knew the rule that the higher the level, the stronger the evil thoughts. The little fatty had never seen a demigod-level evil professional.
Master Wuhen slowly said, "As long as you reach level nine, you are qualified to attack the demigod stage. The level of experience points symbolizes the success rate, not the qualification. Of course, evil professions don't have a demigod stage. As long as you get a specific item, you can have the strength to match a demigod!"
This was answering Yuan Shiqing's doubts.
As a top illusionist, he sensed the emotional changes of everyone. Master Wuhen continued, "I have my plans, you don't need to worry. Next, I will enter seclusion and refine that item to strike the demigod realm!"
"The Southern School's revenge must be guarded against. Xiao Yuan, the hotel will suspend business. Let everyone go into hiding and wait for my news."
Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Yes, Master!"
The other three bowed and chose to obey Master's arrangement.
The four of them then disappeared in the Buddha hall, having been invited out by Master Wuhen.
Zhang Yuanqing was still in the Buddha hall. He looked left and right, and finally looked at Master Wuhen's back, "Do you have something to say to me alone?"
Master Wuhen sat cross-legged under the Buddha statue and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan loves you very much. From the Five Elements Chaos dungeon return, her affection for you has turned into love, and now it's deeply rooted in love and hate. During this time... your relationship should have improved."
"I feel guilty towards her!" Zhang Yuanqing said.
Xiao Yuan was willing to accompany him as a mistress, even though the two of them hadn't even had a chance to brush against each other so far.
"Master left me behind alone, it shouldn't be for this, right?" Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively.
Master Wuhen said, "My seclusion time is uncertain, short for several months, long for several years. During this period, the team must have a leader. Xiao Yuan is my disciple and manages the team for me. You are her beloved, and also the descendant of Zhang Tianshi, so I want to hand over the position of team leader to you."
"I will tell you all the details of everyone on the team. Whether to take over or not is up to you."
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, and said, "I already know the details of Kou Beiyue, Xintong, Liang Chenze Zhu'er Shi, and Renjian Liulang Ke. Xiao Yuan told me herself."
Master Wuhen nodded slightly and slowly recounted, "Yang Bo, The Way of the Extraordinary id: Wei Ren Shi Biao, real name Yang Xuehai. He is a middle school teacher. When he was young, he was falsely accused by several female students and the court sentenced him to ten years for one incident of sexual assault. He couldn't defend himself and overnight went from being a teacher respected by everyone to a beast that everyone shouted to beat. His life's reputation was ruined in one fell swoop."
