The gap between Saints is unexpectedly large, Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart once again.
Back in the Security Department of Fenghua District, when Fu Qingyang injured Deacon Pang with a sword, he had similar feelings. However, at that time, everyone was holding back, not fighting to the death.
He thought that when it really came to a life-and-death struggle, Deacon Pang might be able to fight Fu Qingyang, but he didn't expect him to just bounce around a few times.
Zhang Yuanqing came to the balcony, stepping on bloodstains, black light surging in his eyes, communicating with the spiritual body in the remains.
At this moment, he felt someone pat his arm. He turned his head and saw Fu Qingyang's aloof face:
"Give me the Demon Subduing Pestle."
"Ah, okay," Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself that he almost forgot. He immediately took out the Demon Subduing Pestle and handed it to him. After hesitating, he added:
"Can you not handcuff me this time?"
Fu Qingyang nodded aloofly: "Anyway, it's just a slap."
""
I don't want to talk to you! Zhang Yuanqing continued to communicate with the remaining spiritual body. After more than ten seconds, he gathered the broken spirit and summoned it.
Deacon Pang's spiritual body had a solemn and slightly dull expression, but its solidity was far superior to all the spiritual bodies Zhang Yuanqing had seen.
A Saint-level spiritual body, I wonder how much experience it can give me, Zhang Yuanqing was both happy and worried. Fu Qingyang beside him said:
"Pang Wudi is a Level 4 Saint. Devouring his spiritual body carries the risk of mental confusion, but with this tool for purifying filth, the risk will be minimized, and the benefits will not."
Well, compared to the benefits of devouring a Saint's spiritual body, this risk is completely acceptable, Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
Fu Qingyang continued:
"But this tool is not omnipotent. You must understand where the warning line is. Level 4 Lawful is the limit you can bear. Don't touch Level 4 Evil professions, Night Wanderers, and Level 5 Lawful profession spiritual bodies."
Zhang Yuanqing: "What will happen if I touch them?"
Fu Qingyang glanced at him: "You will die."
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and swallowed Deacon Pang's spiritual body. In the next moment, a flood-like mental power, mixed with chaotic memory fragments and negative emotions, rushed into his sea of consciousness.
He felt like he was a drowning person in the flood, holding tightly to the branches on the shore.
He could be swept away by this flood at any time and crushed into powder.
This was the most dangerous spirit inquiry he had ever had.
While struggling to support himself, he didn't know how long it took, but the vast flood finally subsided, and Zhang Yuanqing's sea of consciousness stabilized. He absorbed the memory fragments as if he was starving and thirsty.
In a daze, he saw an elegant room burning with sandalwood. A figure wearing a cloak stood by the window. His voice was rough and difficult to distinguish:
"If the things you usually do are discovered by the Five Elements Alliance, even if you are not executed, you will have to spend a long time in prison. How have you considered the matter I asked you to consider?"
Then, Zhang Yuanqing heard Deacon Pang's voice: "What can you give me?"
"Your talent is excellent. If you join the Dark Night Rose, you will definitely receive training. We can also give you resources and assistance to climb up within the Five Elements Alliance. In addition, we can help you pass the general physical examination smoothly. Of course, the most important thing..." The figure by the window paused, and slowly said:
"The Dark Night Rose will eventually rule The Way of the Extraordinary, and the leader will surely become the most powerful Night Wanderer in the world, replacing the Master of Taiyi."
"Okay, I agree to join the Dark Night Rose!"
"Very good, I will be your superior from now on. You can call me Great Protector."
The scene changed, it was still the elegant room burning with sandalwood. The figure standing by the window said in a deep voice:
"Black Impermanence has contacted us. He is now lurking in Songhai. The leader has entrusted the matter of contacting him to me."
"What do you need me to do?" Deacon Pang asked.
"Keep a close eye on the movements of the Five Elements Alliance, and then wait for my news."
"Okay!" Deacon Pang hesitated, and asked doubtfully: "What are the leader and Black Impermanence plotting?"
The cloaked man with a rough and difficult voice laughed:
"Demon Lord and Judge of the Evil Eye have fallen. That thing and the Fallen Holy Grail restrain each other, forming a balance. If Black Impermanence wants to control the Fallen Holy Grail, he must ask for our leader."
"That thing?"
"That is one of the highest-level things controlled by the Demon Lord in the Night Wanderer profession. It is what the Master of Taiyi and the leader have been thinking about."
The river flowed in the dark night. This was a dark bridge hole, and the voice of an adult male came from the bridge hole:
"Kill Yuan Shitianzun and avenge Heng Xingwuji."
"Judge of the Evil Eye was indeed killed by the Demon Lord. Among the people present at the time, besides the boss, there was another guy whose The Way of the Extraordinary ID is called Boy Soldier King."
"Three days later, if I receive news of Yuan Shitianzun being killed, I will give you the information on Boy Soldier King at this place."
The Boy Soldier King's identity information in the real world?
When the spirit inquiry reached this point, Zhang Yuanqing finally cursed in his heart.
The thing he was most worried and afraid of happened. The Dark Night Rose was indeed looking for the successor of the Demon Lord.
Once the Dark Night Rose knows Brother Bing's identity information, then his identity as the successor of the Demon Lord will be completely exposed. In this case, he can only confess to the Five Elements Alliance.
But he still doesn't know what the real purpose of Taiyi Sect and the Dark Night Rose in searching for the successor of the Demon Lord is.
Fortunately, the Dark Night Rose and Black Impermanence were suspicious of each other, and Deacon Pang did not reveal the information of the Demon Lord's successor to "Heaven's Unfairness".
It's like dancing on a tightrope, Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.
But then again, the information obtained this time is too important. If used well, he might be able to catch Black Impermanence.
A scorching and pure golden light lit up, illuminating the sea of consciousness and washing the spirit. Zhang Yuanqing broke free from the spirit inquiry and woke up.
"Hiss~"
He found himself lying on the sofa, his head hurting as if steel needles had been inserted into it.
Is it the sequelae of the spirit inquiry, or was it beaten by Fu Qingyang? I hope I don't have a cerebral hemorrhage, Zhang Yuanqing sat up, holding his head.
On the single sofa a few meters away, Fu Qingyang's tone was filled with a hint of anticipation:
"What clues are there?"
Zhang Yuanqing pinched his eyebrows, and waited for the pain to ease slightly, and said:
"Deacon Pang's superior is a The Way of the Extraordinary user who calls himself 'Great Protector'. Every time he meets him, he wears a cloak. They should have a special way of contacting each other, but I didn't see it in the spiritual body's memory. It may have dissipated with death, or it may have been 'hidden'."
He told the information obtained from the spirit inquiry little by little, from the existence of the Great Protector, to the general physical examination, and then to the power of the Holy Grail that the Demon Lord controlled.
Fu Qingyang listened patiently, and when he learned that the Dark Night Rose had a way to avoid the general physical examination, he narrowed his eyes.
"Anything else?" Fu Qingyang asked.
This information is very important, but it has not reached his expectations, and it does not greatly increase the benefit of the operation to search for Black Impermanence. Zhang Yuanqing said:
"I know why Deacon Pang wanted to kill me. The day before yesterday, he had contact with Black Impermanence's confidant 'Heaven's Unfairness'. Heaven's Unfairness asked him to kill me to avenge Heng Xingwuji."
Fu Qingyang's eyes lit up suddenly, he sat up straight, and nodded:
"Very good! This is our breakthrough. As long as we catch Heaven's Unfairness, we will be one step closer to Black Impermanence."
Zhang Yuanqing asked:
"What does the Centurion plan to do?"
Fu Qingyang's eyes fell on him, and he raised the corners of his mouth: "This will require you to die once. I'll give you two days off. Meet at Fujiabao tomorrow night."
Zhang Yuanqing praised: "Good idea, Centurion is really wise, then Deacon Pang's side..."
Fu Qingyang was in a good mood: "I will take care of it, you go back first."
Zhang Yuanqing said goodbye and left. After entering the elevator, he let out a sigh of relief.
The reason he laid the groundwork so much just now, and deliberately left the most important information to the end, was to overdraft Fu Qingyang's emotions. When he heard the information about the meeting in three days, he would have a sense of satisfaction.
Thereby ignoring some details.
Zhang Yuanqing knew very well that every time after the spirit inquiry, this young master would observe him and use the Scout's ability to determine whether he was lying or concealing something.
Of course, there was no problem with this. If he were in his shoes, Zhang Yuanqing would do the same. It wasn't distrust, but a need to have control over important events.
"Fu Qingyang should not have discovered my concealment."
"Compared to the people of Taiyi Sect, Fu Qingyang still believes me more. If he can catch Heaven's Unfairness, he will definitely ask me for a spirit inquiry. At that time, I will hide Brother Bing's information again."
I hope the operation tomorrow night will go smoothly.
The next day, at 8:30 in the morning, Guan Ya arrived at the office in her blue sports car.
She carried a brand-name bag in one hand and a self-made low-fat nutritious breakfast in the other. She wore a white shirt, a black skirt, long silk stockings, and had a sophisticated and fashionable hairstyle. Her mixed-race face was fair and charming.
Every morning, when she got out of the sports car, there would be young people and uncles by the windows of the Security Department's administrative building, using the excuse of smoking to appreciate the goddess of the special department.
These days, there are a lot of women with beautiful faces. With micro-plastic surgery and Korean semi-permanent makeup, as long as the foundation is not bad, they can all be beauties.
But there are not many women with such attractive figures, and even fewer with attractive figures, good temperament, and the ability to drive sports cars.
At the window on the third floor, Chen Yuanjun stood by the window, smoking a cigarette.
"Old Chen, are you also looking at beautiful women?"
A middle-aged security guard leaned over and lit a cigarette.
Chen Yuanjun exhaled a puff of smoke, "No."
He just came to smoke.
The middle-aged security guard appreciated the graceful figure in the distance, and clicked his tongue: "Look at the way her butt is swaying. There's nothing shameful about looking at beautiful women. You're not young anymore, and you're not married. Hmm, is it because you miss her?"
In the Security Department, there are many young men who have a crush on that "colleague".
Chen Yuanjun smiled and did not explain. This woman is indeed beautiful, but his aesthetic threshold has been raised by his aunt since he was a child.
It is difficult for even the most beautiful woman to give him a sense of amazement.
"Speaking of which, recently, there has always been a young man hanging out with her, going in and out together. Maybe he is her boyfriend." The middle-aged security guard said: "I'll call you when I see him."
In the office, Guan Ya was eating breakfast while waiting for Yuan Shi to come over.
In her opinion, the colleagues in the second team are too boring. The longer she gets along with Yuan Shi, the more interesting she finds him. When he is not around, she feels that the office is empty.
Speaking of which, this kid is growing too fast. Half a month ago, he was still a rookie.
Now he is already at the same level as her.
Guan Ya's talent is actually very strong, especially in fighting. The Scout at the Saint realm is known for his individual combat capabilities.
Fu's elders value her very much and believe that she will have a qualitative leap in her overall strength when she reaches the Saint realm.
But Guan Ya doesn't have much desire to level up. She likes food, shopping, watching dramas, manicures, and driving...
She just doesn't like leveling up.
After being a salted fish for a few years, Fu's elders gave up on her, and her mother also wanted to send this beautiful daughter to a marriage alliance.
Guan Ya fled to her cousin's place for protection.
But even so, she still doesn't want to level up.
"Alas, if the level gap gets bigger and bigger, we won't be able to play together in the future. I can't be a salted fish anymore. I have to work hard and level up to Level 3 next month." Guan Ya thought while eating her bland breakfast. While eating breakfast, she opened her phone and logged into the official forum.
A red and pinned post caught her attention:
#The Night Wanderer Yuan Shitianzun of the Second Team in Kangyang District Died Unexpectedly#
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
In an outdoor park, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt was sitting on a bench. He wore a hat, mask, and sunglasses, covering his facial features extremely tightly.
"Ding Dong!"
A text message notification sounded.
He took out his phone and checked the message.
"Yuan Shitianzun of the Second Team in Kangyang District is dead. There is a post on the Five Elements Alliance official forum. The person who posted the post claimed to have heard the news from the Night Wanderer Yuan Ting. That person is known for his big mouth, but the things he says are very truthful.
"I will keep paying attention to confirm further."
Attached is a screenshot of the post.
This was a message sent by an informant. As a Warlock with considerable strength, Heaven's Unfairness has his own network of contacts.
After contacting the Dark Night Rose member that day, he had his controlled informants pay close attention to the dynamics of the Five Elements Alliance forum.
Heaven's Unfairness sneered, turned off his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and left the park with his head down.
