A medieval-style assembly hall.
Zhang Yuanqing appeared at the head of the table, watching figure after figure materialize around him. These were the Sovereigns of the organization.
The Demon Eye Heavenly King and the Palace Master of Ceaseless Slaughter. All the Sovereigns first instinctively looked at Apple Pie, the Western woman with dark hair and brown eyes wearing heavy makeup. Her eyeliner was thick, her lipstick bold, and her foundation a bit too heavy—the very picture of a nightclub queen.
Even Xiahou Aotian, who believed that "women don't need too much personality, they should just be obedient members of my harem," was drooling, staring at her in a daze.
An eighth-level Sovereign of Desire; even if she wore gray on her face instead of makeup, she could still enchant a whole crowd of men.
Apple Pie curled the corners of her lips, her smile suggestive: "Guild Leader, should I excuse myself?"
Before Zhang Yuanqing could respond, the Palace Master of Ceaseless Slaughter said indifferently, "No need!"
Her voice was clearly soft and pleasant, but to everyone's ears, it was like the morning bell and evening drum, instantly dispelling any amorous thoughts.
Xiahou Aotian scrutinized Apple Pie and asked with restraint, "Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Apple Pie's smile widened: "Although I don't like young boys, if it's a young genius, I wouldn't mind having a pleasant experience."
She wouldn't actively flirt with Sovereigns within the same organization—office romances shouldn't be encouraged after all. But if someone offered themselves on a silver platter, she was more than happy to oblige.
The Desire profession governed the world through sleep and accumulated connections through moistening. Xiahou Aotian nodded, stroking his chin, and murmured, "Although I don't have a virginity complex, she's too flamboyant, and her profession isn't ideal. But she's definitely prettier than any woman I've ever seen. Hmm, if I were to include her in my harem, her position should be as a mistress, not a confidante or the primary wife."
"What are you saying?" The Sovereigns were baffled.
Zhang Yuanqing "coughed" to interrupt Xiahou Aotian's mutterings, and said, "Enough small talk, it's meeting time. Everyone, everyone, the Way of the Extraordinary's first joint operation since the return of the deceased is about to begin."
The Sovereigns of the Jishi Society, along with Deng Jingguo and Xiahou Aotian, all looked at him with puzzled expressions.
They didn't know Zhang Yuanqing's plan. After receiving the message to attend the meeting tonight, they had used the Directional Teleportation Jade Talisman gifted by Mr. Chairman to arrive at the instance.
Zhang Yuanqing said, "I plan to hunt the high-ranking members of the Southern branch of the Nihilism Sect."
As soon as these words came out, the Sovereigns of the Second District revealed expressions of astonishment. Only Xiahou Aotian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Excellent! This is the first shot for our Way of the Extraordinary to make a name for ourselves. Not bad, not bad. Yuan Shi Tianzun, your execution is very satisfactory. Even if you hadn't said anything, I was prepared to suggest that you stir up some trouble."
The Sovereigns of the Second District immediately cast admiring glances at him. Only a genius who had berated a demigod would possess such strong aggression and confidence.
Deng Jingguo was somewhat tempted. If his mission to hunt a Sovereign succeeded, the rewards would be enormous. He considered and said, "The Nihilism Sect is a large organization. To hunt the high-ranking members of a large organization, we must be prepared to be besieged by high-level Sovereigns. Even peak Sovereigns may come to fight. Guild Leader, are you confident?"
"I don't dare to guarantee it, because our enemy is the Nihilism Sect, the most elusive illusionists. And behind the Southern branch, there may be even higher-level power struggles."
Zhang Yuanqing subtly alluded to Ling Tuo, without explicitly saying so. He looked around at the Sovereigns at the table, "Today's meeting is to formulate a plan. You are all experienced Sovereigns. If you think it's feasible, choose to participate. If you think it's not safe, you can withdraw."
The Sovereigns of the Jishi Society nodded secretly. It was fair—they weren't being forced to participate!
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Our targets are the Southern branch's Three Elders and Nine Elders, corresponding to the eighth and seventh levels respectively. According to the habits of the Southern branch's high-ranking members, they spend most of their time hidden in the dream worlds they weave."
"Dream worlds are very hidden, almost impossible to find. Only an illusionist holding a specific item, chanting a spell, and pouring in spiritual power can open a dream world."
Hearing this, Chen Shu's bodyguard, Sophia, spoke, "In that case, how do we find the Southern branch's Three Elders and Nine Elders? Even if you have a way to manipulate the members of the Southern branch and enter the dream world, it would be like a moth flying into a flame."
Deng Jingguo nodded in agreement: "Fighting Southern branch Sovereigns in a dream is indeed suicidal."
Zhang Yuanqing smiled: "Yes, you don't need to worry about that. I have a way to expel them from the dream world. What you need to do is, after the Southern branch Elders leave the dream, cooperate with me to encircle and kill them, or stop the high-ranking members of the Southern branch who come to rescue them."
"As for the demigod aspect, don't worry. We have the Void Demigod, the White Tiger Demigod, and the Bewitching Beauty Demigod."
He almost said "Succubus". Succubus was the nickname his uncle gave to that goddess.
According to his uncle, Succubus was someone that even demigods of the evil alignment feared, because even evil professions found it difficult to resist extreme beauty and temptation, and therefore did not dare to provoke her.
However, Succubus herself had low attack power and could not force herself on those evil demigods. In the past ten years, the only one who dared to lie on her and use great force was the Demon King.
The Demon King had already given up anyway. With the Karma, the Saint's Cup erosion, one more Succubus made no difference.
In a sense, the Demon King had successfully enjoyed Succubus for free.
After hearing Yuan Shi Tianzun's words, the Sovereigns of the First District were immediately relieved. Deng Jingguo raised his hand, "I'll participate!"
The seductive woman, Apple Pie, thought for a moment and smiled, shaking her head: "Illusionists restrain my charm, so I won't participate."
"I'm not very interested in participating in things on land." The handsome young Little Spider shook his head. He was a Siren, not good at land combat, and didn't have any means to restrain illusionists.
Since Sindler, as a Thunder Mage, overlapped with Deng Jingguo's profession, there was no need to mobilize so many people to hunt a Nihilist on land, so he didn't participate.
After determining the participants, Zhang Yuanqing arranged the work: "Palace Master, Demon Eye, Little Round, you will act with my clone. Jojo will be responsible for support and vigilance."
"Xiahou Aotian, Sophia, Deng Jingguo, you will act with my main body. Later, I will ask Mr. Chairman to send you Teleportation Jade Talismans. Tonight at twelve o'clock, meet at Songhai Fuca Bay."
He originally wanted to wait a little longer, because neither You Qing nor his uncle had collected the materials and items. But on second thought, under normal circumstances, four against one, they could win with their eyes closed, so there was no need to wait any longer.
Moreover, collecting materials and items had too much uncertainty. What if they never collected them? They couldn't keep waiting forever.
Deng Jingguo thought for a moment and asked, "How will the spoils be distributed?"
"Distributed according to contribution," Zhang Yuanqing said.
Deng Jingguo nodded slightly, seeing that no one else was speaking.
Zhang Yuanqing announced, "Meeting adjourned!"
Fujian Province, Yurin City. "Brainstorm," returning from the black market, escorted a shapely beauty back to his apartment.
Brainstorm was already over fifty years old, but as a Dream Weaver, he could change his appearance at will. His current image was that of a young heartthrob comparable to Chicken Bro, with delicate features. If he put on suspenders and picked up a basketball, he could start strutting his stuff.
Relying on his handsome face, he could bring beauties home every now and then, without spending money or resorting to violence. The beauties were all willing to sleep with him, so there was no seduction or rape, and his moral values remained undamaged.
"Baby, there's a surprise tonight!" Brainstorm put his arm around the beauty's slender waist and entered the bedroom, picking up a gift box from the desk. "This is a famous brand bag, a new winter model."
The young woman's eyes lit up, and she hugged the exquisite gift box, acting coy, "Thank you, darling!"
In fact, they had only met twice. Tonight was the third time; just a newly-hooked-up piece of artillery and target.
Brainstorm raised his head and said with a wicked smile, "Thank you isn't said with the mouth, it's done with the mouth!"
With that, he pushed the woman's shoulder down. In fact, he had always adhered to the principle of getting things for free and rarely spent money on women. But a few days ago, at the Wanbao House auction, he successfully bid on a Sovereign-quality item for the Nine Elders, and he therefore received a huge cash reward and a small amount of Illusionist profession materials.
He had been frequenting the black market these days to exchange the cash in his hand for materials. Feeling good with plenty of cash, he bought the bag.
Occasionally feeding a woman was also nice, so he could enjoy king-like treatment in bed.
After a flurry of flattery and singing his praises, the impatient Brainstorm pulled the woman up, pushed her to the edge of the bed, and began his pleasurable gallop.
In the friction that sparked the flowers of life, in the most sincere collision between people, his body suddenly trembled, feeling a numb and pleasant sensation rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head.
At that moment, his body stiffened, and a terrifying specter in a red wedding dress appeared behind him, clinging tightly to his back. He was possessed.
At the same time, in front of him, a faint starlight rose. A beautiful woman with eerie red pupils inlaid in her dark eye sockets walked out of the starlight, holding a golden pocket watch.
Click, the pocket watch cover opened. The red-eyed woman pinched the watch chain and shook it gently, hypnotizing the possessed Brainstorm.
Brainstorm couldn't resist or avoid it, and felt his consciousness begin to dizzy. His spiritual power inevitably dissipated and became difficult to concentrate.
A dozen seconds later, the hypnosis was successful, and Brainstorm's pupils became dull and vacant.
The woman slumped on the edge of the bed was already unconscious. Yin Yao, Princess Consort, put away the pocket watch and took out a small loudspeaker from the small bag behind her. "You are now going to see the Nine Elders."
After saying this several times, Brainstorm opened his item bar with a blank expression and took out a brass compass, its surface engraved with mysterious and ancient incantations.
"Tell me the incantation to activate the compass," Yin Yao, Princess Consort, asked again.
Brainstorm truthfully recited the incantation.
Yin Yao, Princess Consort, contentedly put away the small loudspeaker and took the luxury bag on the desk.
The weak Yu Linu was possessed, avoiding the detachment...
A hand stretched out from the void and grabbed the compass. The owner of the hand came out of stealth and slowly emerged.
Throughout the process, he was in a Night Tour state, keeping himself hidden to avoid being discovered by the Lord of Taiyin halfway through.
Zhang Yuanqing, his face covered in vine-like patterns, took out Little Red Riding Hood, retrieved Yin Yao, Princess Consort, and the Ghost Bride, and immediately simulated the Illusionist's spiritual power, chanted the incantation, and opened the dream world.
"Take a gamble. If what awaits me in the dream world is the Southern branch's demigod, then my uncle's guess is true."
His figure disappeared into the bedroom.
