"People change. Who can guarantee they'll be good people their whole lives? A peak Ruler constantly shouting about saving the world is a terrifying thing in itself," said Elder Sun blandly.

"Terrifying?" Victoria frowned.

Elder Sun scoffed, "Aren't fanatics terrifying?"

He rocked back and forth in his rocking chair, the creaking sounds scattering the light in his eyes.

Elder Sun looked at the sky, his gaze unfocused, lost in distant memories. "Among the elders of the Taiyi Sect, Shanhe Yongcun and Ling Tuo were closest. He was a The Way of the Extraordinary from the late Republic of China period, born in the war years of national destruction, so he greatly admired Ling Tuo's idea of saving the world."

"But in the eyes of the other elders, this Seventeenth Young Master seemed a bit chuuni. Well, back then, the word 'chuuni' didn't exist yet. Although his talent was excellent, as the Sect Leader's son, such behavior was not stable enough, making him seem unfit for great responsibilities. Managing an official organization is different from fighting and killing."

"However, Ling Tuo's focus wasn't on the Taiyi Sect. He secretly joined an organization called 'Xiaoyao' and became one of the Shadow Twins, hunting evil professionals with four so-called like-minded friends to maintain world peace."

"The disciples of the Taiyi Sect are forbidden from joining other organizations, but the four young men performed quite well, so we pretended not to know about it all along. Of course, opposition was useless. Those four youngsters could challenge a group of us old guys as a team."

"Until that year, the Xiaoyao organization followed the former Marshal in participating in the competition for the Compass of Light. The Marshal died, and the Xiaoyao organization took away the most important core fragment."

"Afterward, the Sect Leader demanded that he hand over the core fragment. Ling Tuo refused, and even fought with the Sect Leader over it, causing a big mess."

Ling Jun blurted out, "Why would a peak Ruler fight with that kind of thing?"

Elder Sun shook his head. "Perhaps it was because the core fragment wasn't on him. The Sect Leader didn't make things difficult for him. But from then on, Ling Tuo rarely returned to the Taiyi Sect. The following year, in 1999, Shanhe Yongcun suddenly told me that Ling Tuo was going to do something big. If that thing succeeded, it could unlock the secrets of the Extraordinary Realm and the truth about the extinction of ancient cultivators. The The Way of the Extraordinary could then escape the fate of extinction."

"What is the secret of the Extraordinary Realm?" Victoria stubbed out her cigarette and straightened up.

In the creaking of the rocking chair, Elder Sun said, "I don't know, because Ling Tuo never came back. He died. That's what the Sect Leader said. Then, Chiri Xingguan erased Ling Tuo's information."

"Shanhe Yongcun was depressed for a while because of this, but half a year later, he suddenly came to me and said something inexplicable..."

Speaking of this, he stopped, a look of confusion and incomprehension in his eyes. After many years, those words still seemed to be a mystery in his heart.

Ling Jun and Victoria didn't press him, watching him in silence.

Elder Sun slowly said, "He said that the end of order is collapse, destruction, and coldness; everything is wrong, and the evil faction is the real order. The current orderly faction is going against the heavens."

"He invited me to leave the Taiyi Sect and establish a new organization, named... Night Rose!"

Evil is order? And the orderly faction is actually evil? Ling Jun and Victoria exchanged shocked glances. Ling Jun murmured, "He's crazy, isn't he?"

This was originally a complaint, but Elder Sun unexpectedly nodded.

"Yes, he was crazy. His mental state was very wrong, so I didn't agree to him. I wanted to notify the Great Elder at the time, but he suddenly went mad and fought a great battle with me. My adopted child..."

Elder Sun turned his head, looking at the locust tree, a flash of guilt in his eyes. "Was the one who was burned to death at that time."

The branches and leaves of the locust tree moved without wind, gently shaking, as if comforting him.

Elder Sun withdrew his gaze and continued, "I wasn't his opponent and couldn't keep him. He left the Taiyi Sect and never appeared again. The Great Elder Chiri Xingguan deleted his information and declared to the outside world that Shanhe Yongcun had returned to the Extraordinary Realm."

"Two years later, the Chu family was exterminated by the Soldiers Religion and Night Rose, and the rule-type item Mother Goddess Uterus was lost."

Ling Jun stood there dejectedly, murmuring, "Seventeenth Brother... No, Ling Tuo was resurrected at that time? He and Chu Shang of the Chu family were like brothers. If he wanted to use a rule-type item, he wouldn't need to exterminate the family at all. This, this doesn't make sense..."

This was completely different from what he thought.

In this past event, Seventeenth Brother should be a positive image, and his stud father should be the big villain.

Ling Jun seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly looked at Elder Sun, his eyes sharp. "That's not right. Last time I asked you if he killed Ling Tuo, you defaulted."

Elder Sun said blandly, "That was just to prevent you from investigating further. Haven't you noticed that this old event is shrouded in heavy fog?"

Victoria "Hmm"ed and looked at her little lover. "The Sect Leader has a weak concept of blood relations and is definitely not a person who dotes on his son. If he wanted the core fragment of the Compass of Light, he would definitely get it. How could he just let Ling Tuo go?"

"The conditions for using the Mother Goddess Uterus are to prepare a blood bag and blood relatives. Ling Tuo seemed to know he was going to die!"

"As you said, Ling Tuo and Chu Shang were partners who were closer than brothers. If he needed the Mother Goddess Uterus to resurrect, why exterminate the family?"

"How did Shanhe Yongcun go crazy? Who told him those upside-down information? These are all doubts. We can't determine what role the Sect Leader played in it. Elder Sun was right not to let you investigate."

Ling Jun's expression was wooden, standing there blankly.

...

"So, Ling Tuo is the leader of Night Rose?"

The voice of Great Elder Dihong was heavier than ever before. "No wonder Night Rose suddenly emerged. The leader is a high-level Night Wanderer. Except for internal divisions within your Taiyi Sect, how else could it come about?"

Although the tone was heavy, there was no excessive shock or surprise.

Obviously, as the Great Elder of the Five Elements Alliance, he had not considered this possibility.

Now it was just confirmed.

Elder Gou sighed, "Before the Chu family was exterminated, Night Rose had no leader... Today, I finally understand what Demon Eye meant by this sentence."

"The Taiyi Sect must be responsible for this matter," Fu Qingyang said coldly.

"How to be responsible? If it's about capturing Ling Tuo, then we've been doing it all these years," Elder Zhao said blandly.

"Leave the matter to be clarified," Great Elder Dihong said. "There are many doubts in what you just said. How did Ling Tuo die? Why did Shanhe Yongcun betray the Taiyi Sect? Why did you remove Elder Sun's power?" Facing the Five Elements Alliance Great Elder's questioning, the microphone on Elder Zhao's avatar vibrated, his tone indifferent. "Some things, we don't know either. Some things, only the Sect Leader knows. No one can force a demigod to say what they don't want to say."

"In fact, today's meeting is meaningless, it only reveals the enemy's true identity. But does it matter who the leader of Night Rose is? Clarify the identity, grasp the details of the case, and then bring him to justice?"

"We are law enforcers, but we are not police officers. We are The Way of the Extraordinary. Most of the time, when facing enemies and evil, we don't need evidence or reasons, just wipe them out."

"You only need to know that Ling Tuo became a Fallen One and betrayed the faction. That's enough."

"Identity is not important, even if his true identity is actually a dog, he is a demigod, a terrifying enemy, an existence that can contend with the Sect Leader and the five Alliance Leaders."

"The confrontation with Night Rose must continue, and will not change in any way because of the leader's identity, nor will knowing the identity of the hidden organization's leader allow us to capture him."

Fu Qingyang sneered, "Don't change the subject. No matter what, intelligence is always the most important thing. The Taiyi Sect refuses to say anything, but expects the Five Elements Alliance to clean up your mess?"

Elder Zhao was equally unyielding.

"First of all, we don't need you to clean up the Taiyi Sect's mess. Go back and ask the Alliance Leaders why the leader of Night Rose never appears. Secondly, if you don't deal with Night Rose, it won't erode the Five Elements Alliance?

"I said just now, demigods can't be forced to say what they don't want to say. Do you really think the five Alliance Leaders don't know anything? At most, they are not clear about Ling Tuo, but do the Alliance Leaders care if the leader of Night Rose is Ling Tuo or a dog?"

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

Elder Gou coughed. "If it is Ling Tuo, everything will be clear. The reason I was lured away, besides that phone call, was also the handwriting left by Zhang Tianshi. Ling Tuo is one of the Shadow Twins, he must be familiar with Zhang Tianshi's handwriting."

However, at this time, no one cared about this small matter, or rather, everyone agreed with this statement and felt that there was no need to discuss it.

Great Elder Dihong's tone was indifferent. "Meeting adjourned!"

...

In the study of the Fu Family Bay villa.

"The matter has been clarified. The leader of Night Rose is Ling Tuo, the seventeenth son of the Taiyi Sect Leader. Knowing you're too lazy to look at the information, he was from the Xiaoyao organization..."

Fu Qingyang stated the information expressionlessly, speaking in great detail and seriousness.

But the woman on the other end of the phone kept saying "Mmm-hmm," full of perfunctoriness.

"Are you listening to me seriously?"

"Oh, it's Ling Tuo, I get it now."

"What do you get? What do Shanhe Yongcun's words mean? How much do you know about Ling Tuo, no, the leader of Night Rose?" Fu Qingyang heard a faint rustling of fabric from the phone.

"Don't ask about demigod matters. You're not qualified to know." Fu Qingxuan was mostly this ill-tempered.

Before Fu Qingyang could speak, she said happily, "What a treasure, it can amplify all my skills below demigod level, including passives. My combat power has increased by at least 20%." Fu Qingyang's stern face twitched violently.

It was like seeing his wife and lover showing affection in front of him.

"I'll let you play with it for a few days at most."

"Spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

"Fu Qingxuan!" Young Master Qian roared, unable to restrain himself any longer.

"You haven't entered a dungeon since you advanced to Ruler, and it's impossible to come across such a superb item in a level 7 dungeon. Who gave it to you?" Fu Qingxuan asked curiously.

Fu Qingyang ignored her.

"It's Yuan Shi Tianzun, isn't it?" Fu Qingxuan said with a hint of laughter in her indifferent tone. "I could see it when I was in Ghost City. Tsk, tsk, how much money did you spend to buy it from him? I'll sell it back to you for double."

"A gift!"

The female Marshal on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, she said seriously, "The bond between you two is deeper than I thought. I'll study it for a week and return it to you. Yuan Shi Tianzun can become your right-hand man in the future and can be relied on for life."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Young Master Qian was as arrogant as ever, and hung up the phone.

Ding!

The phone rang.

The screen displayed a message from "Fu Qingxuan."

Young Master Qian clicked it open and his face changed drastically.

The avatar had changed from a white-haired beauty to sleeping on a kang bed together.

The Marshal silently changed the avatar back.

At dusk, Fu Qingyang sat behind his desk, and Zhang Yuanqing stood in front of the desk, both staring at the phone on the desk. The screen displayed the caller: Ling Jun!

"...The information I found out is all this. Elder Sun is not very clear about the various doubts behind this matter. Victoria believes that he is unaware," Ling Jun said in a somewhat depressed tone.

This matter was a huge blow to him.

"Fu Qingyang, what were the results of the meeting? Do you have anything to add?" Ling Jun asked.

"I know even less than you in detail," Fu Qingyang said coldly. "Elder Zhao refused to disclose any information. He is a peak Ruler and knows more than Elder Sun, but combined with your information, I think he didn't either."

"Evil is order, that's really crazy. Ling Tuo was already dead at that time. Who told Shanhe Yongcun these three-view subverting information?" Zhang Yuanqing murmured.

"You mean... Stud was behind all this?" Ling Jun was a smart person and immediately understood.

"Who knows? Let's put your stud father aside for now and sort out the events," Zhang Yuanqing said, supporting himself on the desk with both hands, staring at the phone. "After the Compass of Light battle, the Xiaoyao Four, who were already very close to the truth of the Extraordinary Realm, gained great inspiration from the core fragment and decided to do something big, probably to completely unlock the secret of the Extraordinary Realm."

"They knew that this trip would be life-threatening, so they prepared a blood bag and blood relatives in advance for resurrection."

Ling Jun immediately interrupted. "Wait, using blood relatives for resurrection sounds like something a villain would do. Did the Xiaoyao organization collectively go crazy at that time?"

Fu Qingyang also interrupted, supporting his elbows on the desk, interlocking his fingers, and said, "It doesn't necessarily need to be blood relatives, it can also be 'clones.' Chu Shang is a Sima, it's not difficult for him to copy a clone. He can even have the Xiaoyao Three give birth to 'blood relatives'."

Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously covered his lower abdomen, then let go, and continued, "In that event, Ling Tuo died. For some reason, the Xiaoyao Three did not choose to resurrect Ling Tuo, causing Ling Tuo's supporter, Shanhe Yongcun, to have to turn to the Soldiers Religion and join forces to destroy the Chu family and resurrect Ling Tuo."

"Why didn't the Xiaoyao Three resurrect Ling Tuo?" Ling Jun asked back.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I don't know. This is the most core secret. Without understanding what happened back then, it will never be possible to figure it out."

"Then there's no way to investigate," Ling Jun sighed.

"What do you think, Boss?" Zhang Yuanqing looked up at Fu Qingyang.

Fu Qingyang's face was cold and did not pay attention to him.

"Boss, you've suddenly become cold to me."

Fu Qingyang sneered, "You better pray that Fu Qingxuan doesn't spread that photo around."

"What photo?" Ling Jun asked curiously on the other end of the phone.

But Zhang Yuanqing and Fu Qingyang ignored him.

Fu Qingyang put down his elbows, handed over his body weight to the back of the chair, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and slowly said, "If you want to find out what happened back then, you must ask the people who knew about it back then. There is one person, no, one thing that might know."

"What thing?" Ling Jun asked.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he heard Fu Qingyang say in a deep voice, "The Zoo!"

"According to Elder Gou's information at the meeting, the former owner of the Zoo was Zhang Tianshi, one of the Radiant Twins of the Xiaoyao organization, who later gave it to Elder Gou."

"After the meeting, I checked the information and found that the time Elder Gou reported to headquarters was December 12th, and Ling Tuo died in 1999."

"In other words, Zhang Tianshi gave the Zoo to Elder Gou after that incident. Props are the most intimate partners of The Way of the Extraordinary. Props with Item Spirits know everything about their owners."

"It may know what happened back then."

Ling Jun's spirits lifted. "Let Elder Gou communicate with the Item Spirit."

Fu Qingyang shook his head slightly. "Elder Gou is not a fool. He has probably realized this, but he has not convened a meeting or reported to headquarters to this day, indicating that the Item Spirit has not told him."

"You might as well not have said anything. Well, it's still a direction," Ling Jun complained.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing walked silently towards the liquor cabinet, pretending to pour wine, in order to avoid Fu Qingyang's possible gaze at him.

He had an idea.

--Re-enter the Zoo, disguise himself as Zhang Zizhen, and extract intelligence from the Item Spirit.

But his background was a very important secret to him and could not be known to anyone, and Fu Qingyang was too sensitive.

Zhang Yuanqing poured two glasses of whiskey. When he returned to the table, he had already suppressed the thoughts related to the Zoo and Zhang Zizhen. While sipping his wine, he sighed, "There is no breakthrough in this matter for the time being. Let's put it aside for now. I need to sort out the information. Mentor, don't touch this case recently. Let's contact each other again when we have a clue."

He put down his glass. "Boss, I'm going back to accompany Guan Ya, and I'll also refine the Yin Corpse Spirit Servant that my cousin gave me."

He would act tonight.

Fu Qingyang nodded. "Before dark, I will arrange the materials for you."

Zhang Yuanqing bowed. "Thank you, Boss."

Then he turned into starlight and disappeared.

Fu Qingyang held his wine glass in the palm of his hand and was silent for a few seconds. His gaze fell on the wine glass that Zhang Yuanqing had only sipped from, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

"You only drink cola, you idiot!"
