"You know, you're going to spread rumors again," Liu Zhiyi said sternly.

"Everyone, this is all Yuan Shiqing's fault. Let's work together to control him, and all problems will be solved easily. I even suspect that he has joined an evil organization.

"My grandfather once said that Yuan Shiqing has a strong rebellious mentality. After passing through Yashan Sea, he even used props to play games with the headquarters, giving the headquarters a warning.

"Perhaps, Yan'er heard his secret collusion with evil organizations, planning to harm us, that's why he silenced her."

Unconsciously, Liu Zhiyi's expression changed from righteous indignation to ferocious hatred, as if Yuan Shiqing was his father's killer!

His emotions began to turn from jealousy to hatred. An invisible force was slowly and silently guiding everyone's emotions.

Listening to Liu Zhiyi's words, the crowd, already in a panic, immediately caused an uproar. Yuan Shiqing, if you did all of this, please stop. Don't really go crazy. What good will it do you to collude with evil organizations? Don't ruin your future.

Suddenly, the crowd was filled with excitement. Only a few high-level Saints were not affected, but they also frowned.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yin Ji and Ling Jun exchanged glances. The latter's body suddenly expanded, black and yellow long hairs burst out of his pores, his nose widened, silver whiskers grew on his cheeks, and the hair on his forehead showed the character "king."

In an instant, Ling Jun transformed into a standing giant tiger. It turned to face the crowd and roared, raising its head. Awoo~

The deep and high-pitched tiger roar echoed in the small room, deafening.

An unspeakable fear arose from the hearts of the official Walkers. Fear overwhelmed everything, and their minds became clear.

After a long roar, the fur on Ling Jun's body quickly retracted, and he transformed back into a human form, saying loudly: "Pay attention to your emotions, you are being influenced."

He first looked at Liu Zhiyi and questioned in a deep voice: "What hatred do you have with Yuan Shiqing that you target him like this?" Liu Zhiyi revealed a complex expression, with confusion, doubt, and residual hatred and jealousy.

He glanced at Yuan Shiqing, his expression twisted, and he forced himself to turn his head away, lest jealousy and hatred surge again.

Obviously, he himself realized that something was wrong.

Ling Jun then looked at the socialites including Miao Teng'er, saying:

"Yuan Shiqing's attendance at this banquet was at my invitation, not premeditated. I was with him all the way. After entering the club, you were also with him. Did he have time to contact evil organizations?

"Even if he went to the bathroom to collude with evil organizations, it would take time for the evil organizations to come over, but the fact is that Yan'er just died, and we were trapped in the club."

Hearing this, everyone pondered and nodded unconsciously.

After their emotions stabilized, they immediately tasted many abnormalities and saw many illogical details. Yin Ji's voice was soft, saying: "Don't panic, everyone. Let's hear what Yuan Shiqing has to say."

Compared with the deafening tiger roar, her voice was gentle and pleasant, which had a good effect of calming people's hearts. Immediately, everyone looked at Yuan Shiqing.

"Yin Ji and Ling Jun are still reliable, saving me from having to activate the Golden Mask to shock them." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Miao Teng'er and said:

"Teng'er, did you invite her to the banquet?"

Miao Teng'er nodded: "Yan'er always liked to attend such social gatherings. Basically, as long as you call her, she will come, unless it's too far or she has something else to do..." A girl with a low status but high aspirations will definitely actively participate in various social events, hoping to expand her network and get to know talents and big shots from various branches.

"Who did she come with? What is her relationship with Elder Yang usually like? Do they meet often?" Zhang Yuanqing asked again.

Miao Teng'er said: "She only brought two bodyguards, and I arranged them on the first floor."

Saying that, she looked back at the gray-haired old man: "Uncle Yang, please invite Yan'er's bodyguards up." After the old man left, she looked at everyone: "It's too crowded here, let's go to the restaurant to talk."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the guests silently returned to the restaurant. The bathroom was soon left with Miao Teng'er, Yin Ji, Ling Jun, and Yuan Shiqing.

Miao Teng'er sighed, hugged Yan'er horizontally, and silently walked out of the bathroom. Ling Jun whispered: "There's trouble tonight. I don't know how many people will die." Yin Ji, covered in black gauze, frowned with her long and straight eyebrows.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at them and said:

"Things are more serious than we thought. I just used Astrology to look at everyone's faces. Everyone has a bloody disaster."

"Next, I have something to say to you."

In the living room, Zhang Yuanqing asked the two pale-faced bodyguards:

"What is your young lady's relationship with Elder Yang? How often do they meet?" The older bodyguard took a deep breath:

"There is no fixed time. Sometimes they meet every two or three days, sometimes they don't see each other for half a month. Elder Yang is good to the young lady and will satisfy most of her requests."

The younger bodyguard said: "But only limited to doting. Elder Yang doesn't want her to have too much ambition." A concubine's daughter has too much ambition, which will squeeze the resources of the嫡出children? Zhang Yuanqing did not comment and continued to ask: "Has she had anything strange recently, such as changing into a different person? Showing hobbies and personalities that are completely opposite to usual?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

In this case, Chunyang Master's possession of Yan'er is a recent event. He cannot be possessed on Yan'er for a long time. One cannot underestimate an elder's keenness. As Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts turned, he said to the guests who surrounded him:

"Everyone, we have encountered a terrible enemy. If my guess is correct, he is the root of the dense fog incident in Jinhui City that day. He is an ancient cultivator who also cultivates Illusionist and Night Wanderer professions."

"Elder Gao Feng of the Hangzhou Branch is responsible for arresting him. Taiyi Sect recalled a large number of Night Wanderers because of him."

Most of the guests looked puzzled, but the few members of the Hangzhou Branch, including the spiritual third generation Liu Zhiyi, changed their faces drastically.

"Yes, it's him!" This spiritual third generation stuttered and turned pale with fright.

As a spiritual third generation, he knows more secrets than ordinary official Walkers, and this happened in Jiangnan Province, under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Branch.

Liu Zhiyi knows how terrible that Chunyang Master is.

"Who, who is he?" Man Yan Jie, who was plump, couldn't help but ask. Her question was what most people were thinking.

What kind of existence made Liu Zhiyi so frightened and Yuan Shiqing so serious? Liu Zhiyi trembled:

"An ancient practitioner who is still alive. He was dug out of an ancient tomb some time ago. He can grow by devouring Night Wanderers and Illusionists. He is crazy and lacks rationality. He is not bound by moral values and is more difficult to deal with than evil professions."

As Liu Zhiyi spoke, a chill rose in the hearts of the guests present. Liu Zhiyi stared at Yuan Shiqing and said:

"What evidence do you have to prove it's him?" Zhang Yuanqing said: "...I just searched Yan'er's body and she was not wearing any props, but she did secretly provoke my lust. This is a means only available to Illusionists, and possession is a means of Night Wanderers.

"But what really made me suspect him was what Yan'er said before she committed suicide. She said I was her prey. Well, I almost killed him in the ancient tomb that day."

"He didn't come for me. The real target should be the three of Taiyi Sect, but after seeing me appear, he immediately changed his target and tried to seduce me, probably trying to take the opportunity to possess me and devour my spiritual power."

Xie Lingyun seemed to have remembered something and blurted out:

"No wonder she kept asking Teng'er if Yuan Shiqing would attend. Did she think that Yuan Shiqing might come to such a high-end gathering in Songhai?"

Except for Yin Ji, the two Night Wanderers looked at each other in fear. Gao Shan Liushui, the executive of Puning District, pondered for a few seconds and said:

"Assuming that's the case, then we are being targeted by an ancient practitioner. He sealed the club and is now hiding among us. With the methods he has shown before, maybe he has already secretly possessed one of us."

"And his purpose is the four of you."

As soon as this was said, everyone retreated in unison, away from the two Night Wanderers and the two Star Officials. Liu Zhiyi's voice trembled:

"Chunyang Master is active in Songhai, Jiangnan Province, and the scattered provinces. It's not difficult to understand being targeted by him, but...but I heard my mother say that the ancient practitioner is extremely weak. How dare he deal with us?"

"Chunyang Master is here with us, and he is guiding Liu Zhiyi's emotions again. This time it's fear." Seeing that the guests subconsciously looked at him, waiting for a reply, Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the French windows and said:

"The answer is obvious, he has other means!"

Yin Ji echoed: "In this case, as long as we find Chunyang Master and get rid of him, the crisis will naturally be resolved. His own strength is average, but he is good at guiding emotions and possession, which is very secretive."

"His own strength is average, but he is just tricky."

The meaning Yin Ji revealed was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, bringing calm to everyone.

As long as you understand that the enemy is not strong, the heart will naturally be stable, and it will be more difficult for Chunyang Master to stir up emotions and create panic.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Don't panic, everyone. I already have a solution. I have two props that are best at dealing with seals. As long as I open the seal and notify the elders of the Songhai branch, Chunyang Master will not be able to escape."

After a pause, he said: "After opening the seal, I need everyone's cooperation to prevent Chunyang Master from escaping."

Yin Ji continued: "I will set up a spirit-trapping formation to prevent the spirit body from escaping. Please stand in the formation." Ling Jun said loudly: "Whoever opposes is Chunyang Master."

The guests looked at each other, and no one dared to object for a while.

This was the method Zhang Yuanqing and Ling Jun and Yin Ji discussed. To deal with this kind of enemy hidden in the crowd, as long as you use the right strategy, it is not difficult to deal with.

Immediately, Yin Ji took out the materials and, with the help of Zhang Yuanqing and two Night Wanderers, drew a huge spirit rune circle in the center of the restaurant.

"I hope everyone will supervise each other and not give Chunyang Master a chance." Ling Jun, who was also standing in the formation, said loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, wary of each other, and at the same time looked at Yuan Shiqing.

They saw him walk to the French windows, and a 50-centimeter amethyst hammer appeared in his hand at some point. The small pumpkin was only the size of two bowls.

Outside the window, neon lights flashed one after another. On the street a yard away, scattered cars sped past. In the garden planted with various expensive flowers, plants, and trees, the lights were bright, but there were no people. ...It was eerily quiet.

Before coming, there were security personnel in the yard, but now there is no one. Zhang Yuanqing stopped by the French windows, weighed the Violet Thunder Hammer, raised it high, and slammed it down heavily.

Buzz!

The small pumpkin smashed on the French windows, smashing out a circle of viscous ripples, like a wooden hammer smashing on viscous syrup. Zhang Yuanqing raised the Violet Thunder Hammer and continued to smash it down, hammer after hammer, hammer after hammer.

The viscous and slow ripples continued to expand, from small ripples to covering the entire wall, and then from the entire wall to the ceiling and the floor. Before long, the entire club was shaking.

"Miss, the prop in his hand is extraordinary."

Uncle Yang, who was gray-haired, leaned into Miao Teng'er's ear and said in a low voice, "I am very sure that the power shrouded here cannot be broken even by a level 6 Fire Demon."

Miao Teng'er nodded slightly, and the tight string relaxed a little.

Yin Ji and Ling Jun were closely watching everyone's expressions. The faces showed tension and anticipation. Even Liu Zhiyi, who had been targeting Yuan Shiqing just now, was holding his breath and clenching his fists.

This made it impossible for them to tell who the enemy was.

Suddenly, just as the seal vibrated to the extreme, giving people the feeling of being on the verge of breaking, Yuan Shiqing suddenly stopped.

"Why did he stop? Continue. Wasn't it about to succeed?"

"Yuan Shiqing, continue. What are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanqing ignored it. The hand holding the Violet Thunder Hammer was shaking violently, the blue veins were bulging, and the skin was purplish-red.

"The time has come!"

The power of the Dominator level! Zhang Yuanqing's right arm hurt badly, but it was far less than the sense of crisis in his heart.

The Violet Thunder Hammer could not break the seal within five minutes, which meant that the power sealing the club had exceeded the Saint level and was the power of the Dominator stage.

So the bloody disaster came from this Dominator-level prop.

In that case, I can only hope for the Red Dancing Shoes. Zhang Yuanqing put away the Violet Thunder Hammer and summoned the Red Dancing Shoes. Da da da~

The crisp tap-dancing sound echoed in the quiet restaurant. Zhang Yuanqing gave it the command to leave this place.

The Red Dancing Shoes circled around its master da da da, and then flew up and kicked the window with both feet, kicking out imperceptible ripples.

It landed slowly, seeming a little discouraged, and remained silent for a few seconds. The Red Dancing Shoes suddenly moved its right foot back, raised its toes, and gave a curtsy.

"Do you want to return to the item bar? Don't. Keep trying!" Zhang Yuanqing twitched the corner of his mouth. Obviously, the Red Dancing Shoes could not leave the seal either.

"Then there's no way! I can only face Chunyang Master head-on." Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at everyone:

"I'm sorry, things are more difficult than I thought." The guests roared, their expressions unable to hide their disappointment. After a while, Miao Teng'er opened her mouth and said:

"Well, in that case, we will find Chunyang Master. Everyone will work together to deal with a weak ancient practitioner. What's so difficult about that?"

"It's not that simple!" Zhang Yuanqing returned from the French windows and said in a deep voice:

"Now we can confirm that what is sealing us is a Dominator-level prop. Do you think the function of a Dominator-level prop is only limited to this? If so, he would never have mixed into the banquet."

As if to respond to his words, a 3D projection-like message appeared in the sky above the restaurant:

[Welcome to the Grimm Adventure. The safe time countdown is over. The dice are spinning. Please wait]

A virtual table appeared in the restaurant, with the tabletop covered in mist. Only the lower right corner was clear, where there was a doll the size of a thumb standing.

The edge was painted with green plants, with the text: [Grimm Forest].

Above the virtual round table was a soccer-ball-sized die, spinning rapidly. A board game? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

After a few seconds, the dice gradually stopped, and finally settled on three dots.

Under the suspicious gazes of everyone, the little doll followed the winding lines to the third red dot. The dense fog broke open, and everyone fixed their eyes on it. There was a line of small characters:

You are about to cross the river, but because there are too many people, the boat cannot carry everyone. Please abandon two companions.

At the same time, everyone saw the projection above the restaurant change:

[Ding! Please complete the vote within three minutes to select the companions to be abandoned. If the vote is not successful, two people present will be randomly killed]
