Guan Ya's eyes were half-closed, her pearly teeth biting her full lips, her raven hair spread across the white pillow, her pretty face flushed red as if drunk.

She gripped her boyfriend's arms, which were supporting her on either side of her slender waist, with one hand, and encircled the top of her head with the other, to prevent her head from constantly bumping against the headboard.

The thin air-conditioning quilt had long slipped from Zhang Yuanqing's waist and hips to the bend of her legs, Guan Ya's calves tightly hooked around his calves, and her crystal-clear toes were slightly curled.

Guan Ya, who was enjoying the ultimate pleasure, suddenly noticed that the boyfriend on top of her had stopped. Already extremely familiar with Zhang Yuanqing, she knew that it was not yet the moment for complete surrender, so she opened her eyes, her voice sweet and charming: "What's wrong?"

"Ling Xi and the Queen have cleared the dungeon, and they'll be back in twenty seconds," Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile.

Guan Ya immediately "sobered up" and busily patted his arm with her small hand, "Get up, get up..."

"What for?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, puzzled.

"Can you finish in twenty seconds?"

"Nonsense, it'll take me at least two hours."

Guan Ya rolled her eyes: "Then that's that. They'll be looking for you when they get back."

"That's easy. I'll have Bai Lan, no, Ichikawa Mi, keep watch outside and send them away," Zhang Yuanqing said, his abdomen pressed tightly, pinning Guan Ya to the bed, not letting her move. "They all know about our relationship."

"Get lost. Ling Xi has eavesdropping items. I don't want her to eavesdrop. If you don't get up, I'll stab you with sword Qi."

"Stab away, anyway, I've been stabbing you for an hour tonight. Consider it reciprocation."

Amidst the lovers' murmurings, Zhang Yuanqing withdrew from Guan Ya's body, like pulling out a cork from a red wine bottle. The two quickly got up, picking up the scattered pajamas on the floor and putting them on.

As soon as the two walked out of the bedroom, they heard Xie Lingxi's voice from the living room downstairs: "Yuanshi Gege, we're back~"

Zhang Yuanqing also sensed Little Doubi again.

Coming downstairs, Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya saw the three people slumped on the sofa. Their clothes were already tattered, but the form-fitting nano suits underneath were still intact. At the damaged areas, blood could be seen.

Fortunately, after the experience points increased, they received spiritual power infusion, filling their bodies. Zhang Yuanqing took out the Mountain God Scepter and healed their external injuries one by one.

--Now that he has a girlfriend, the price of the scepter is no longer annoyance, but rather fun. There are no animals in the villa, so there is no need to worry about having inappropriate thoughts about animals.

"There's no need to write a mission report for our gang's dungeon. Just tell us about your gains and the situation inside the dungeon, and then go back to your rooms and rest," Guan Ya said, sitting upright across from the three, displaying the majesty of a leader.

The three reported one after another.

Xie Lingxi's current experience points are 85%, the Queen's are 100%, and Li Chunfeng's are also 100%. An A-level dungeon directly capped the experience points of the two who were already close to completion.

Each person gained a good-quality extraordinary item, as well as a dozen kinds of spiritually rich materials.

The rewards of an A-level dungeon are very generous.

Li Chunfeng took a sip of water and reported: "We not only dealt with the strange events at the East Star Hotel, but also unlocked the hidden plot. The owner of the East Star Hotel's ancestor was a shaman."

"Because the hotel business was getting worse and worse, he remembered his ancestor's livelihood and went back to his hometown to find the ancestral secret book, wanting to change the hotel's feng shui."

"But he was completely an amateur and mistook the array for summoning evil spirits as a feng shui array, which caused a series of strange events. We found that secret book and discovered a fragment of a map hidden inside." As he spoke, he looked at the Queen.

The Queen spread out her palm, and an ancient book with a curling cover appeared in her palm. Her eyes glanced around randomly, as if looking for something, and she smiled:

"To correct you, it wasn't us who found it, it was your son who found it."

Zhang Yuanqing beckoned, and Little Doubi, who was lying on Xie Lingxi's lap, quickly lifted the secret book and sent it to its master.

"Good job." Zhang Yuanqing picked up the ancient book with one hand and stroked Little Doubi's head with the other.

The ancient book was very thin, only a dozen pages, drawing arrays and incantations, as well as inscriptions.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it a few times and lost interest in these arrays. They were just spells of the extraordinary stage. Although they combined Night Wanderer spiritual inscriptions and Witch Gu Master curses, which could be considered an amazing innovation by ancient cultivators, the level was too low.

A torn map was sandwiched in the ancient book. The grayish-brown leather was indistinguishable as to whether it was animal or human. It should be a part of a complete map, only a small corner. It was drawn with squares and distorted lines representing roads, and annotated with place names.

"The drawing technique is the classic 'Ji Li Hua Fang' method, which originated in the Jin Dynasty. This map is relatively accurate and is estimated to have been drawn during the Tang and Song Dynasties," Li Chunfeng pushed his glasses and said, "I don't recognize the place names marked on it, so we can rule out national or provincial maps. At most, it's a city or county map. Currently, we can't locate where it is."

What is Ji Li Hua Fang... Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, sighing in his heart that it was good to have a scholar in the team. He nodded calmly on the surface and said, "Let me see the item information."

[Name: Mysterious Map Fragment]

[Type: Map]

[Function: Location]

[Introduction: A map passed down from ancient times, source unknown, region unknown, but it once caused a bloody storm in ancient times.]

[Note: Bloody storms mean it's very important. High IQ people please ignore this note, if you are a Fire Master, my role will be reflected.]

What's going on? Even the Spirit Realm is starting to mock Fire Masters... Zhang Yuanqing looked at the notes and had a lot of complaints.

At the same time, he realized the importance of the map. If he collected all the maps, he might be able to find treasure.

This is the benefit of a gang dungeon. Solo players can only obtain items and resources from the Spirit Realm, but large gangs can also get good things from exclusive dungeons.

"This should be a mission item for a related dungeon," Zhang Yuanqing put the map into the gang warehouse and said, "Let's see what the second gang dungeon is."

Hearing this, Guan Ya and the others straightened up and waited attentively.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang interface and chose to generate a dungeon. Ding! The Spirit Realm is generating, please wait...

[The gang Spirit Realm has been generated.]

[Number: 3704, Crazy Training Camp.]

[Difficulty Level: B]

[Type: Multi-player (Non-death)]

[Main Quest: Defeat the opponents in the training camp and win first place.]

[Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.]

[Spirit Realm No. 3704 Introduction: This is a training camp for cultivating special types of soldiers, gathering extraordinary people from all over the country. The team that wins the championship in the competition can receive huge bonuses and artifact items.]

"B-level non-death types are quite rare," Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Lingxi and the Queen also let out a long breath, feeling relaxed.

They were lucky to draw a non-death dungeon. Even if they were killed in the dungeon, they could safely return to reality. This is rare in B-level dungeons.

Usually, S-level and A-level dungeons are death types. B-level dungeons are common dungeons for ordinary elites, and most are death types. Only dungeons below B-level are non-death types.

--Of course, this is the probability for multi-player Spirit Realms. Solo Spirit Realms are all death types.

"Then let's rest well tonight and enter the Spirit Realm tomorrow morning," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I want to go in early, I want to spend a few more days with Yuanshi Gege," Xie Lingxi said coquettishly.

Guan Ya said coldly: "This kind of dungeon only takes a few hours to complete. It's probably just a team competition. I'll stay with you in the Spirit Realm."

Xie Lingxi pouted.

"Go up and rest," Zhang Yuanqing said, maintaining his sitting posture and waving his hand.

After the team members went upstairs, he immediately pounced on Guan Ya and gave her a series of licks: "Sister Guan Ya, please help me relieve the swelling."

"No! Ling Xi will hear us."

"Hehe, I knew you would say that. Look, what is this!" Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood, "Let's go inside and play."

Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to unfold the item space, he heard a loud "Aba".

Looking down, Little Doubi was趴on the edge of the coffee table, staring at him with its bright, round eyes.

Its bright, spiritual eyes were filled with anticipation.

Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh" and said, "I forgot to tell you something. There's no game console at home. The game console is at your great-grandmother's house. We'll play it when we go back there."

As soon as Little Doubi heard this, it rolled on the spot, kicking its little fat legs and crying loudly.

The next morning.

After Zhang Yuanqing had breakfast and sent Xie Lingxi and the other two into the Spirit Realm, he saw someone @ him in the "Protagonist Team Struggle Group".

Xiahou Aotian: @Yuanshi Tianzun, good progress. You're already in the second dungeon.]

As a gang member, he can also receive Spirit Realm notifications.

[Zhao Chenghuang: I hope to enter a Saint dungeon this week. I'm ready.]

Zhao Chenghuang is looking forward to the "Return of the Dead" gang dungeon.

The difficulty level of the gang dungeon is determined by the level of the members. Yuanshi Tianzun is a Saint, so the difficulty level of the gang dungeon is at least A, and most likely S.

His current experience points are 40%. One S-level dungeon can increase at least 20%. In this way, he can advance to level 5 within two months.

[Sun Miaomiao: If we can enter an S-level dungeon, we might be able to get top-quality items.]

Since she made a fortune in the Qin Feng Academy dungeon, she has fallen in love with this feeling. Risk is proportional to income, hovering on the edge of life and death, and winning top-quality items. It's incredibly exciting.

[Zhao Chenghuang: Has something happened in Songhai recently, and it involves the Taiyi Sect? I asked my great-grandfather about the situation, but he didn't tell me. Usually, he only keeps things from me if they are particularly important.]

[Sun Miaomiao: Huh, your great-grandfather won't tell you either? My grandfather is the same. Grandpa hasn't been in a good mood recently and even scolded me, telling me not to meddle in things.]

Huh, how did they know? The secrecy level of this matter is very high. Even level seven elders may not have the authority to know, and the Saints involved in the incident have also signed confidentiality agreements... Zhang Yuanqing typed in the information:

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Where did you find out that something big happened in Songhai?]

[Sun Miaomiao: Yuan Ting said it, but he doesn't know what exactly happened. He said it's a big melon, and that an event that will shake the officialdom will definitely spread.]

Yuan Ting, amazing... Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched, feeling that Yuan Ting's "infiltration" of the officialdom was much stronger than Dark Night Rose's. It was Dark Night Rose's dereliction of duty not to develop him as a subordinate.

[Tianxia Guihuo: According to the information I got, the Demon Eye seems to have been attacked by the Terror King at the No. 3 prison in Pingchuan City that night. The Marshal who was staying in Songhai rushed to deal with it, but was lured away by the Soldiers of God.]

The Demon Eye was rescued? Sun Miaomiao and the other three were shocked. As the Terror King of the Soldiers of God, the Demon Eye is a top-tier Master. Rescuing such a terrifying figure is tantamount to letting a tiger return to the mountain.

Tianxia Guihuo has unknowingly cultivated an intelligence network. The Fire Master is capable! Zhang Yuanqing thought.

[Zhao Chenghuang: Who did it?]

Far away in the sky, but near in front of you, it's me... Zhang Yuan didn't speak up, feeling a little guilty.

[Xiahou Aotian: I know this Demon Eye, he specializes in killing officials. In novels, he would be this protagonist's little brother. By the way, what does this have to do with the Taiyi Sect?]

[Tianxia Guihuo: Read less of those messy novels. I don't know the situation, but Yuanshi Tianzun definitely knows.]

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw Yuanshi Tianzun posting a photo in the group.

In the photo, Fu Qingyang, Elder Hongying, Yin Ji and others were huddled together, looking at the camera with their heads raised and stiff faces.

Sun Miaomiao and Xiahou Aotian sent a string of question marks.

Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang sent a string of ellipses.

#Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew a message#

[Sun Miaomiao: Am I seeing things? I seemed to have just seen an incredible photo.]

[Tianxia Guihuo: You're not mistaken...]

It's indeed incredible.

If this photo were to be spread, it would definitely be the biggest gossip of the year in the officialdom.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: The thing is, the Dark Night Rose, with the goal of rescuing the Demon Eye, planned an operation to hunt down three official elders. For this reason, the Dark Night Rose used a demigod-level item, a ghost city.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: The photo is a scene of them hiding in bed, shivering. The location is in the ghost city. When the Marshal and I went to rescue them, I took the photo casually. My hands were itchy, I couldn't help it. Please forget the photo just now.]

You don't know how to spell "dead", do you...?

Except for Xiahou Aotian, the other three cursed in their hearts.

So that's what happened. Since the Marshal came out, it's understandable that the incident is kept secret.

The information of a demigod comes with a secrecy aura.

But then, Yuanshi Tianzun's information made the members in the group wonder if there was something wrong with their eyes.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: The Marshal killed the Dark Night Rose's Guardian, and the true identity of this Guardian is a former elder of the Taiyi Sect, Spirit Realm ID "Shanhe Yongcun".]

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang, two members of the Taiyi Sect, had their minds buzzing.

They had never heard of "Shanhe Yongcun", but the words "former elder" were enough to make them lose their ability to manage their expressions.

[Xiahou Aotian: No wonder they want to keep it a secret. They are protecting the face of the Taiyi Sect. A dignified elder is actually a high-level member of a secret organization.]

[Tianxia Guihuo: It's not just a matter of face. If this matter is leaked, grassroots officials will lose trust and security in the organization. An elder-level figure is actually the Dark Night Rose's Guardian. Has this secret organization infiltrated to this extent?]

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang think so too. If this matter spreads, there will be a crisis of trust in the officialdom, especially in the Taiyi Sect. No wonder the elders are tight-lipped about it.

We must never let Yuan Ting know... the two secretly vowed in their hearts.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: But what really makes this incident a taboo is not Shanhe Yongcun, but someone else.]

The four people in the group's expressions changed. There's an even deeper inside story?

Who is it?
