Chapter 85 Seeing People

“I originally wanted to have a dance-off with you, maybe even a rap battle, but you seem to be in a bad mood!” Uncle conjured a glass of red wine from the void, followed by a glass of iced cola, and said, “Spill it, what’s wrong!”

Zhang Yuanqing immediately told his uncle all about the Five Elements Alliance's plan and their determination to acquire the Radiant Compass!

“Take coercive measures?” Uncle laughed, “They can’t even touch me if I stand still. As for the succubus, even evil profession demigods are unwilling to provoke her. The Five Elements Alliance is just talking big!”

“I’ll take you to experience the charm of the succubus when I have time!” Uncle Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself!

“Neither I nor the succubus like the Master of Taiyi!” Uncle shook his wine glass and leaned lazily on the sofa, laughing, “Because he’s also a lazy old schemer!”

“Huh?” Zhang Yuanqing was stunned!

The family disgrace always spoke incoherently and without beginning or end. Even he, the inheritor of his mantle, often couldn’t keep up with his rhythm.

Uncle took a big gulp of red wine and said angrily, “Isn’t that right? Our lawful faction's demigods are fighting to the death, and even a lecher like the succubus is following me into battle! Look at what the Lord of the Stars has done?”

“One would think he’s a background character set by the author!” Uncle put down his wine glass. “So, why should I help that old schemer become the Lord of the Sun? Besides, he’s not my inheritor!”

Zhang Yuanqing sighed, “Uncle, we have no choice now! Supporting the Master of Taiyi to reach the top is the only option! The Lord of the Sun can’t become a fallen one. No matter how many concerns and doubts you have about the Master of Taiyi, once he becomes the Lord of the Sun, he will inevitably be on the lawful side!”

Uncle put down his wine glass and stared into his good nephew's eyes. He, who was always out of tune, rarely became serious and solemn, and slowly asked, “Yuanzi, if you become the Lord of the Sun, me and the succubus will give you the fragments of the Radiant Compass, but I need to hear you say this in person!”

Zhang Yuanqing's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but the words “I’m willing” couldn’t be uttered!

A strange emotion deep inside prevented him!

“That’s right!” Uncle returned to his casual posture. “I’m a Void Demigod. If my inheritor can’t even reach the demigod level, how can I let him gain a foothold in the world?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing became vigilant and said, “Uncle, the Marshal seems to suspect our relationship! If the Five Elements Alliance traces our identities…”

“Don’t worry, if it really comes to that and the gap between you and the peak Overlord is too big, I’ll compromise. A wise man submits to circumstances! Your uncle is flexible!” Uncle took a sip of red wine while Zhang Yuanqing drank some cola.

The former said, “Speaking of Shan Chuanqishi, I gave him an ancient cultivation manual for the Knight profession. That manual is best suited for tempering on the battlefield. With minor success in cultivation, it can allow him to briefly erupt with the combat power of a mid-stage Level 8.”

“This is his only hope. If he succeeds, we can advance the Church’s treasury. If he fails, then the Church’s treasure is out of the question!”

Shan Chuanqishi is truly miserable. He lived a humble life for half his life, only to be greeted by an S-level dungeon!

Zhang Yuanqing silently prayed for Zhai Cai and sighed, “Xiao Fu told me that this is because the bugs in The Way of the Extraordinary are increasing. If Zhai Cai dies in the dungeon, the Church’s treasure that he has painstakingly planned for months will be for nothing. Man proposes, God disposes!”

After sighing, he turned to say, “Uncle, in five days, I will enter the White Tiger Army’s gang dungeon again. Before entering the dungeon, I want to go to the Five Elements Secret dungeon first!”

He wanted to see Brother Bing and also meet that Unfettered Arbiter!

The Unfettered Arbiter’s waist badge was obtained in the “Five Elements Chaos” dungeon, and according to the Tang Dynasty dungeon he was forced to enter during the attack on the plane, that Unfettered Arbiter seemed to be a cultivator of both human and immortal arts.

It wasn’t difficult to deduce the whereabouts of the Unfettered Arbiter through these details!

Uncle raised his eyebrows and slowly nodded, “Alright!”

Zhang Yuanqing got up and left. He walked to the door and then turned back, taking out the Black Jade Pixiu and saying, “Uncle, please keep this item for me for a few days!”

Uncle gave him a puzzled look, “Why?”

Zhang Yuanqing’s expression was bitter, “The nutrition can’t keep up.”

In the next few days, Zhang Yuanqing stayed in Fūjiā Wān during the day and went home to accompany his maternal grandfather and grandmother after sunset!

Chen Shu and the family disgrace were both unqualified children. In the end, his aunt and he took on the responsibility of accompanying the elderly.

During this period, he entered a dungeon once and wantonly refined Yin corpses with Yin Yaojunzhu. The bodies of the Jù Quē Army generals, preserved intact, were all collected by Yin Yaojunzhu.

There were a total of forty-six bodies, thirty-two Transcendents and fourteen Saints. He wouldn’t be short of cannon fodder for a long time to come!

Unfortunately, the Imperial Preceptor and Tuoba Guanghe were both killed without a complete corpse and couldn’t be recovered. However, even if he obtained complete corpses, Zhang Yuanqing wouldn’t be able to refine them.

Usually, he would occasionally help Li Dongze handle some cases in Songhai. Since the disappearance of Merit Points caused the disaster, although the people had “accepted” the explanation of virus infection, the existence of Extraordinary people had been made known to the public!

As a result, cults began to take root and sprout in student groups, worker groups, middle-aged women groups, and idle people in society.

Among them, some were fraudulent groups that used the pretext of obtaining superpowers to swindle money, and some were evil professions who saw the opportunity to develop human forces!

The former was cracked down on by police officers, while the latter was handed over to official organizations!

Low-level The Way of the Extraordinary were running around handling cases every day, working overtime, and even if they were exhausted, they couldn’t catch them all. They had completely bid farewell to a leisurely and peaceful life!

Both the official and evil factions were dying every day!

There were fewer and fewer people on the forum posting battle reports, obituaries, and humorous posts!

Chaos had already arisen, but Zhang Yuanqing had gradually lost touch with the joys, sorrows, lives, and deaths of these low-level figures.

He was focusing on higher-level games and battles!
