Chapter 107 Unexpected Enemy
The bathroom door was knocked on twice forcefully, followed by the voice of a security guard: “Ma’am, do you need help?”
In private clubs, besides the tea-pouring and wine-serving staff, there are also security personnel responsible for maintaining order. However, in front of a group of official Players, their protective capabilities are almost non-existent.
After asking, the security guard outside the door didn't hesitate to push open the bathroom door.
He had already heard the cries for help and couldn't wait at the door. The young ladies invited to the banquet were either rich or noble, and no mistakes could be made.
Pushing open the door, the young security guard in a black suit scanned the bathroom, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw a young girl leaning against the sink. Her gorgeous gauze dress and collar had traces of being violently torn, and a necklace was broken on the floor.
She lay motionless against the sink. The young security guard noticed that her chest and abdomen were not rising or falling.
Standing by the sink was the young man who had been the center of attention just now.
The security guard glanced at the young man first, saw him frowning and pondering, and then cautiously stepped forward, touched the girl's carotid artery, and then checked her breathing. His face immediately changed slightly, and he ran away in a hurry.
This is troublesome, being framed… Zhang Yuanqing looked up at the back of the security guard leaving in panic, without stopping him.
He calmed down and reviewed what had just happened.
On the surface, this incident was that Yan'er, born out of wedlock, wanted to climb the social ladder and seduce Yuan Shi Tianzun. So, while drinking, she secretly used the abilities of an Illusionist to slowly arouse his desires. She did it very subtly. In the atmosphere of alcohol and beautiful women, he was indeed affected and gradually became intoxicated.
Then, after seeing Yuan Shi Tianzun enter the bathroom, she quietly followed, first using words to seduce him, indicating that he could vent his desires here, and then further teasing him to completely detonate his desires.
Relying on accumulation, relying on the final explosion, she successfully put a Saint in a state of burning desire.
Amazing!
Fortunately, because of Yin Ji's reminder, Zhang Yuanqing noticed something was wrong. He did often desire to find a beautiful young lady to impart his knowledge to, but not to such an extent.
If it was someone his age, wasn't the little green tea prettier than Yan'er? So, when he was about to lose control, he took out the Ghost Mirror in time.
This mirror is really amazing. Once he held it, all thoughts were gone. It was more effective than practicing the Evil-expelling Sword Manual.
After Zhang Yuanqing used the Ghost Mirror to resolve his desires, he originally wanted to knock Yan'er into shape, to make her respect and love herself, and not to take the wrong path at a young age.
But unexpectedly, she committed suicide directly…
At this point, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't understand. The illogical suicide and loud cries for help to frame him, what was the purpose?
“Simply outrageous…” he muttered, using Spirit Devour. Black, viscous energy surged in his eyes, ready to communicate with Yan'er's spirit to see what was going on.
However, an unexpected scene occurred.
There was no residual spirit in Yan'er's body, like a corpse that had been dead for many days.
Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank.
Had Yan'er already died? Had she been dead for more than seven days?
“No, more likely, that wasn’t Yan'er just now. She was possessed. Her spirit was completely devoured, so there was no residue in her body.”
This was more in line with everything that had just happened.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered what she said before committing suicide: Yuan Shi Tianzun, you are my prey, you can't escape!
Could it be boldly assumed that the person who possessed Yan'er was coming for him?
“Impossible. Besides Yin Ji, who invited me in advance, no one knew I was attending the banquet tonight. She definitely wasn’t coming for me.”
At this moment, noisy and hurried footsteps came.
The next second, the bathroom door was kicked open. The first to enter was Miao Teng'er, wearing a plain long dress. Her face was extremely solemn. When she saw the situation in the bathroom and saw Yan'er dead in front of the sink, her solemn expression turned into grief and anger. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked angrily at Yuan Shi Tianzun by the sink.
Behind Miao Teng'er were Yin Ji, Ling Jun, Xie Lingyun, Sister Man Yan, Liu Zhiyi, Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, Flowing Mountain High Water, and others. Further back were guests who couldn't squeeze into the bathroom and could only stay in the corridor, craning their necks to look.
Ling Jun put away his playful and casual demeanor, frowned, squeezed past his cousin, asking questions while touching Yan'er's forehead.
His heart immediately tightened. She was really dead.
As the Beast King, he was very clear that the body on the sink was a corpse whose life had been cut off.
“What’s going on?” Ling Jun said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head slightly: “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” The third generation of Ling, Liu Zhiyi, shouted: “Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you know what you’ve done? Do you know who she is? Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, you’re the scout, tell us what he did!”
Broken Bridge Remnant Snow squeezed forward a few steps, glanced roughly at the bathroom, and frowned: “Yuan Shi Tianzun intended to assault this girl, was resisted, and accidentally killed… I’m just making a judgment based on what I saw.”
Hearing this, the male guests shook their heads and sighed, while the female guests were full of anger and disappointment. They didn't expect Yuan Shi Tianzun to be this kind of person.
“Accidental killing? Where are the wounds?” Ling Jun turned around and glared at Broken Bridge Remnant Snow.
Then, he glanced at the angry crowd and said loudly: “Everyone doesn't want something like this to happen, but since it has happened, we must find out the truth. Everyone, please be calm and listen to what Yuan Shi Tianzun has to say first.”
Although the Flower Playboy was not serious and lived a dissolute life, as the grandson of the Great Elder of the Hundred Flowers Society and the son of the Head of the Taiyi Sect, his words still carried weight.
Everyone immediately looked at Yuan Shi Tianzun, waiting for his explanation.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered slightly and told what had just happened in detail.
“Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you have a grudge against him?” Sister Man Yan, dressed as a noblewoman, suppressed her grief and took a deep breath.
“I just met her today,” Zhang Yuanqing said.
“Since there is no grievance or hatred, you say she framed you, what’s the purpose?” She asked loudly with tears in her eyes.
“That’s exactly what I’m confused about.”
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head. “You’re quibbling. It’s clear that you coveted Yan'er's beauty, and under the influence of alcohol, you wanted to bully her. After being resisted, you killed her. Yuan Shi Tianzun, I’m telling you, she is the daughter of Elder Yang of the Dan City branch. You’re finished. The Songhai branch can’t protect you either,” Liu Zhiyi shouted loudly.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him, ignored him, and looked at Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, saying indifferently: “Aren’t you a scout? Can’t you tell if I’m lying?”
Broken Bridge Remnant Snow shook his head: “Of course I believe you wouldn’t do such a thing, but I’m just a Transcendent. The Insight Technique can’t see through the disguise of a Saint. I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
Zhang Yuanqing “Heh”ed.
Ling Jun thought for a while and said, “This matter is indeed strange. Just now, I observed that Miss Yan'er had a good impression of Yuan Shi Tianzun. It stands to reason that it wouldn’t be like this.”
[The old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me the app to follow books, Yeguo Reading! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed, you can download it here .yeguoyuedu ]
He subtly pointed out that Yuan Shi Tianzun didn’t need to use violence to sleep with Yan'er.
Miao Teng'er frowned.
After the initial anger and sadness, she calmed down a little. After thinking carefully, it was indeed a bit unreasonable. “Don’t make unnecessary arguments, let Deacon Yin Ji ask the spirit.” A steady voice came from the crowd of Flowing Mountain High Water.
Eyes looked at the gentle black-dressed woman standing by the door.
Yin Ji pondered for a few seconds and said, “Okay! I will truthfully inform everyone of the situation of the spirit interrogation.”
After saying that, black, viscous energy surged in her shimmering eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing sighed inwardly. It was getting more and more unclear.
A few seconds later, Yin Ji's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She looked up at Zhang Yuanqing and said in a deep voice: “Her spirit has completely dissipated.”
As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the crowd.
Zhang Yuanqing noticed that if Yin Ji’s eyes were trusting just now, they had now turned into doubt, and a trace of suspicion.
After all, only Yuan Shi Tianzun could do this.
Yin Ji was like this, let alone others. “You still say it wasn’t you!” Liu Zhiyi pointed at Zhang Yuanqing and said, “The person is dead, and the spirit is gone. Besides you, who else can do it? You want to make a dead person have no proof, right? So many of us have seen it, everyone is a witness, don’t even think about denying it, Yuan Shi Tianzun, today is the time for your reputation to be ruined.” Xie Lingyun choked with tears: “You, how could you treat Yan… she’s only seventeen years old.”
Miao Teng'er’s eyes were red, and she glared at him: “What else do you have to say?”
Several socialites who had a good relationship with Yan'er cast angry gazes.
Zhang Yuanqing argued: “First of all, I have no motive to kill her. Beauty cannot be used as my reason for killing her, it’s not tenable. Secondly, without a spirit, there is another possibility. Yan'er died a long time ago. She was possessed. After the person who possessed her left, there would be no spirit left in the corpse. Deacon Yin Ji, am I right.” Yin Ji nodded, affirming his statement,
Said: “Indeed, it’s like this, but, Yuan Shi Tianzun, you are a Night Wanderer, didn’t you notice anything?”
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: “I didn’t see anything.”
Yin Ji folded her eyebrows and said, “This is unreasonable, unless that person is not a Night Wanderer. Or, in addition to the abilities of a Night Wanderer, they also have other abilities that can deceive your perception.”
“It’s another sophistry, Deacon Yin Ji, don’t believe him.” Liu Zhiyi snorted: “Maybe there is another possibility, he really didn’t covet Yan'er's beauty, but Yan'er entered the bathroom and accidentally heard something she shouldn’t have, so Yuan Shi Tianzun silenced her. Everyone, isn’t this more reasonable?”
Everyone's expression towards Yuan Shi Tianzun suddenly changed.
“Don’t talk nonsense with him, call Elder Yang. Deacon Flowing Mountain High Water, you call the Elder of the Songhai branch. Everyone, keep an eye on Yuan Shi Tianzun, don’t let him escape.” A socialite screamed angrily.
Immediately, someone took out their mobile phone from their pocket, ready to make a call.
In addition to the abilities of a Night Wanderer, he also possesses other abilities?
Zhang Yuanqing didn't care about the excited crowd. Yin Ji’s words made him realize something. He thought of something, first picked up Yan'er’s necklace, and then touched all the jewelry on her body one by one.
Then, he groped over Yan'er’s corpse with both hands, touching it very carefully, without missing any detail.
Nothing?!
No props, Yan'er had no props on her body.
This discovery made Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrink.
Without props, how did she arouse my desire, how did she use the means of an Illusionist?
From Yan'er's seduction to the "suicide" after the plot was exposed, the whole process was seen by him. Nothing on her body was added or subtracted.
This can only explain one thing, the other party is an Illusionist.
But Illusionists do not have the ability to possess. Possession is actually Spirit Devouring + Possession, which is a unique characteristic of the Night Wanderer profession.
An enemy who possesses both Night Wanderer skills and Illusionist abilities… Zhang Yuanqing’s eyes widened suddenly.
No way? Could it be him? The one who was teasing me just now, seducing me, and using beauty on me, is a thousand-year-old geezer?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And it's a male geezer?
A name appeared in Zhang Yuanqing’s mind: Pure Yang Leader!
“Huh, why is there no signal on my phone?”
Soon, someone discovered that the mobile phone signal was being blocked. Everyone heard the words and took out their mobile phones to check. Without exception, everyone's mobile phones had no signal, and even the wireless network was gone.
At the same time, an old man with white hair squeezed through the crowd, walked to Miao Teng'er's side, and whispered: "Miss, the clubhouse is shrouded by a mysterious force. I can't break it open. Everyone here can't get out."
"What?" Miao Teng'er's face changed drastically.
The surrounding guests also changed their faces.
Can't get out? The phone also has no signal. It seems that Pure Yang Leader didn't come for me at first. I arrived halfway, so he changed his target and chose to seduce me first. Then his original target was Yin Ji? Those two Night Wanderers from Taiyi Sect... Zhang Yuanqing's previous doubts were answered.
“Yuan Shi Tianzun, what are you doing again? I understand, did you want to kill us to silence us after the atrocities were exposed? How ridiculous, just rely on you?” Liu Zhiyi shouted loudly.
“Yuan Shi Tianzun, don’t be impulsive.” Broken Bridge Remnant Snow also echoed.
Looking at the two of them at this time, it was obvious that they were motivated by jealousy, so they targeted me everywhere. The emotions of other people are also not right. Except for a few Saints, everyone else is too angry and lacks reason. Everything is Pure Yang Leader's trick. He is not only a Night Wanderer, but also an Illusionist, able to manipulate emotions. …Seeing the crowd looking at him with great trepidation and hidden precautions, Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: “Why would I kill you? Am I out of my mind? Do you think I look like I’m crazy?”
The crowd was still suspicious, but Ling Jun and Yin Ji, after discovering that the mobile phone signal was blocked and the clubhouse was shrouded in a mysterious force, completely believed in Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Needless to say, Ling Jun knew Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Yin Ji trusted him half because of his character, and half because of logical speculation.
Ling Jun asked: “What did you find?” Miao Teng'er and others stared at Yuan Shi Tianzun.
“Obviously, we are being targeted by someone, a powerful and unknown enemy. His target is all of us.” Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath: “I did find something, and I probably know what’s going on.”
