"Past Without a Trace," one of the Shadow Twins, it's him? It's actually him... F**k, f**k, f**k, too much information, let me process it... Zhang Yuanqing's mind was overwhelmed with thoughts, ideas exploding.

This news caused a huge shock to him, to the point where his mind was a mess, losing the ability to think.

He stood there blankly for a long time before he sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind one by one:

The last of the Shadow Twins is mysterious, elusive, never known to outsiders, and very few people know his identity and appearance. He is also an evil profession, perfectly matching the characteristics of an Illusionist.

Master Wuhen, in his early years, atoned for sins by specializing in hunting down evil professions, and his philosophy was in line with the Xiaoyao organization. Master Wuhen was a peak Ruler many years ago, and his level also matched. However, Master Wuhen seemed to be very famous during the Saint stage. According to the official database, the Master's age was obviously a generation older than the other three in the last thirty years. How could he be mixed up with these kids? No, it should be said that it is precisely because of the Xiaoyao organization's concept of saving the world that Master Wuhen would be attracted.

The slogan doesn't matter, belief alignment is what matters.

So Master Wuhen was so painful, the truth is from the curse back then.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, and more questions formed in his mind.

"Does Gou Zhanglao (Dog Elder) know that Master Wuhen is one of the Shadow Twins? Does Master Wuhen know Zhang Tianshi's (Zhang Celestial Master's) real identity? Does Master Wuhen know my identity?"

These questions led to a new doubt, no, a fatal question – does Ling Tuo know Zhang Tianshi's real identity.

At the thought of this, Zhang Yuanqing exclaimed, "Wait, I have another question."

The little rabbit, who was about to leave, stopped again and cast an unhappy look.

"Your nagging and annoyance must be inherited from your mother."

Mockery aside, don't involve my mother, Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"Do the Xiaoyao Three know Zhang Tianshi's real identity? Does Gou Zhanglao know that Past Without a Trace is one of the Xiaoyao Four?"

The little rabbit tilted her head, thought for a few seconds, and said, "I said just now that I promised him not to tell anyone his name. Except for you, I have never told anyone, 'Past Without a Trace' is a member of the Xiaoyao organization."

"I don't know if Little Dog knows, anyway, I didn't tell him. He and Zhang Zizhen have a friendship, but the remaining three have no contact, so they shouldn't know."

"Among the Xiaoyao Four, Chu Shang and Ling Tuo are from aristocratic families, and their Spiritual Realm IDs are very clear, so their backgrounds cannot be hidden, but they should not know Zizhen's family background. Zhang Zizhen is a cautious person and would not casually reveal his identity."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded as he said, "Then how did Gou Zhanglao know my father's family background?"

"That was not actively revealed by Zi Zhen either. This is his and Little Dog's story. You can ask him yourself. Gou Zhanglao is either Zhang Zizhen's guide, like the squad leader to me, or the two have a very deep friendship, like the relationship between me and the boss." Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Come to think of it, if Ling Tuo knew that his father's name was Zhang Zizhen, he wouldn't have grown up so smoothly. If Zhang Zizhen's identity was revealed to Ling Tuo, he should have hidden with the Palace Master and Chen Shu after the Chu family massacre...

Looking at it this way, Master Wuhen doesn't know my identity. That's right, although the Master saved me and helped me, it was more because I had favors to their team and understood his philosophy, but in fact, he didn't favor me too much.

Three days later is the day Master Wuhen lectures. Should I take this opportunity to confront him and ask about the past?

Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for only a second before expressing his thoughts, hoping the Artifact Spirit could give him some advice.

"I cannot give advice." The little rabbit's voice was clear and cold, "Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. You are the one paying the price. If I give advice, and something happens to you, then the one paying the price will become the two of us. I don't want Zizhen to blame me for killing his descendants in the future." After saying that, she hopped away.

Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and sent a message to the Zhisha Palace Master: "Meet, old place."

Deep in the park,

a secluded pet shop. Gou Zhanglao squatted in front of the table, staring at the phone in front of him. The phone screen showed that he was on a call with Fu Qingyang...

"You reported Zhang Tianshi's death back then, but why did you go out without hesitation yesterday when you saw the impostor? Is it because in your heart, he is still alive."

"Zhang Zizhen entrusted the zoo to me back then. He once told me that if he didn't come back within three years, then he should have returned to the Spiritual Realm."

"So that's how it is, but since Ling Tuo can rely on the Mother Goddess's womb to be resurrected, why haven't Zhang Tianshi and Chu Shang been resurrected?"

"Is it possible that they were resurrected, but died in the end?"

"Gou Zhanglao makes sense. I have another question. What is your relationship with Zhang Tianshi? He entrusted the rule-type item, the zoo, to you. The relationship must be unusual, right? Also, I checked your files in the database."

"Fu Qingyang, just say what you want to say."

"I want to know Zhang Tianshi's family background. He became a peak Ruler at a young age. This gene, his descendants might also be Night Watchers."

"Maybe, but even if the ancestor of a Spiritual Realm family returns to the Spiritual Realm, the head of the Taiyi Sect, the probability of giving birth to a The Way of the Extraordinary is very low. And in those years, the country was implementing family planning, advocating single-child families. The probability of giving birth to a The Way of the Extraordinary in the first child is probably a bit low."

The conversation sounded like a casual chat, but in reality, it was full of subtle confrontations and undercurrents.

"Compared to these old stories, after reading the files, I am more curious about where the two Nihilists (Heart Demons) of the Southern School went."

Gou Zhanglao said.

"Now it can be confirmed that the Dark Night Rose and the Soldiers of God collectively dispatched four Rulers, and at that time, Ghost City had not yet recovered. With such combat power, it is obviously impossible to kill several elders of the Southern School."

"But the fact is that several elders of the Southern School left halfway."

Fu Qingyang said, "At that time, the Pure Yang Head Teacher was not present, the ambush plan failed, and the people of the Southern School took the opportunity to retreat, which is understandable, and they could also take the opportunity to kill us."

Gou Zhanglao thought for a while and said, "I have been dealing with those guys from the Southern School for many years, and I always feel that something is wrong. Isn't Yuanshi Tianzun intimate with the Dream Weaver of the Southern School? Let him ask."

......

"They're out!"

Dream World. Sixteen thick stone pillars supported the dome of the palace, and a scarlet carpet stretched from the palace gate, ending in a golden throne.

A six-meter-tall figure sat high on the golden throne, cloaked in a robe. Inside the robe was a twisted and flickering dark light, symbolizing the most filthy and chaotic emotions in the world.

Two illusory lights twisted into two cloaked figures in the silent palace.

"You're back?"

The figure on the golden throne made a voice that was neither male nor female, and could not be distinguished by age.

"Greetings, Grand Elder." The two cloaked figures bowed. The one on the left said, "The ambush plan failed. The Pure Yang Head Teacher did not appear. The Silver Moon Heavenly King of the Soldiers of God died under Fu Qingyang's sword. Fu Qingyang's combat power can fight against Level 8. We suggest raising his ranking on the hunting list."

"Combat power can fight against Level 8..." The Grand Elder muttered to himself, his voice grand and ethereal, "Like Yuanshi Tianzun, his momentum is still strong after changing professions. He will become a major problem in the future."

To judge whether a person has great potential, look at his performance after changing professions. Many geniuses in the Extraordinary Realm will become mediocre after becoming Saints. Many elites in the Saint stage become mediocre after becoming Rulers.

Therefore, those who can be promoted to peak Rulers are geniuses among geniuses, freaks among freaks.

Currently, there are two officially recognized figures whose momentum is still strong after changing professions: Yuanshi Tianzun and Fu Qingyang.

The former can be expected to become a Ruler, and the latter probably has the strength to be promoted to a peak Ruler, or even rank among the Ten Elders.

The person on the left continued, "The Dark Night Rose's operation to hunt down three official elders failed. We learned today that the Marshal arrived in time and brought them out of Ghost City."

"That person's layout failed? That's rare." The Grand Elder said slowly.

"No, it's not exactly a failure," the elder on the right said, "During the fight, the Third Elder of the Dark Night Rose found our hiding place. He passed on a message."

After a pause, the elder continued, "The leader of the Dark Night Rose wants to talk to the Pope."

"Talk to the Pope?" The Grand Elder's tone suddenly became heavier,

"What is the Dark Night Rose's reason?"

"He said, the opportunity to become a demigod." The elder on the right said, "If the Pope is willing to see it, in seven days, send a dream connection item to Room 206 of the Sanlong Hotel in Hangzhou."

The calm palace suddenly shook, and the dark light under the Grand Elder's hood suddenly shone brightly.

Evil professions do not have a demigod stage. The so-called opportunity to become a demigod refers to a channel to obtain demigod-level power.

The elder on the left added:

"We analyzed it afterward. This should be one of the purposes of the Dark Night Rose taking the bait on its own initiative. That leader wants to use this battle to contact the Pope.

"After we left, the Great Protector of the Dark Night Rose revived Ghost City. Otherwise, we would definitely not be able to get out. Even if we didn't die in Ghost City, we would be cleaned up by the Marshal."

The Grand Elder was silent for a long time, and the voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female echoed in the palace, "Among the three major free organizations, only the Asura of the Soldiers of God has obtained that kind of power many times. The two chairmen of our Nihilist Church and the Spiritual Energy Association have only obtained one opportunity. If the Pope can get another opportunity, the Nihilist Church will no longer have Southern and Northern factions. I will inform him. You have done well."

Kangyang District Public Security Bureau, cafe.

Zhang Yuanqing sat in front of the clean and tidy floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the brightly lit Public Security Bureau.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen the squad leader. Although I surf the internet in my spare time and occasionally hear the squad leader say "not elegant enough" and "elegance never goes out of style," after all, I haven't heard it with my own ears, and I still miss it sometimes.

Across the round table, the Palace Master, wearing a silver half-face mask, fell into a long silence.

After Zhang Yuanqing told her that Ling Tuo was the leader of the Dark Night Rose, she seemed to have become autistic.

The enemy who massacred her family was her father's good brother before his death. No one could stand it.

Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of coffee, felt it wasn't sweet enough, added another spoonful of sugar, and stirred it gently.

"Panama Washed Geisha, the best of coffee beans, only ten kilograms are produced in a year. Why are you adding sugar like this?" The Palace Master puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.

I still think happy water is better... Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Have you come back to your senses? I'm looking for you today for another thing. Do you know who the other Shadow Twin is?"

The Palace Master shook her head.

"It's Past Without a Trace, the Master Wuhen I know."

After saying that, Zhang Yuanqing rubbed the platinum ring of the Scout profession with his thumb and stared at the Zhisha Palace Master's eyes.

He saw surprise, realization, and other emotions in them, which didn't seem like a disguise.

The ring was borrowed from the White Tiger Guard's gang warehouse. Fu Qingyang always has countless fancy props.

"He knows how to hide. Uncle Zizhen and my dad are both dead. Why do you say he's still alive? Why didn't Ling Tuo kill him?" The Palace Master smiled coldly, "Do you think he and Ling Tuo are in cahoots?"

"Don't get emotional. Master Wuhen is a good person. I have confidence in his character." Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the point, "He's lecturing the day after tomorrow. I want to confront him."

Seeing the Palace Master's eyes become sharp, he quickly added, "Of course, I will report to my cousin beforehand."

"Cousin?" The eyes under the mask were stunned, "Where did you get a cousin?"

"Guan Ya's cousin, of course, is my cousin." Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the top of his head, "The Marshal of the White Tiger Army. If something really happens to me, my cousin and cousin will avenge me."

"Oh, the cousin is Fu Qingyang, right?" She curled her lips.

Zhang Yuanqing finished his coffee in one gulp and said softly, "I'll tell you as soon as I figure out what happened back then."

The Palace Master fiddled with the silver teaspoon, stirring the coffee gently, "You've already made up your mind. It's useless for me to object, so just try it."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, turning into starlight and dissipating.

The Zhisha Palace Master looked at the empty seat and muttered, "You learn the bad things, not the good ones."

The next day, at nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Yuanqing propped himself up on the bed with both arms, his back covered in sweat, repeatedly demonstrating the endurance and explosiveness of his back muscles to Guan Ya. Suddenly, he heard a Spiritual Realm notification sound in his ear:

[Ding! Return of the Dead—East Star Hotel strategy completed. Members will return in twenty seconds. The second Spiritual Realm world is opening. Please check later...]
