Chapter 235 Hard Targets (7000)
Dog Elder asked again, as if he hadn't heard clearly. He didn't think a walkthrough for an Extraordinary stage dungeon warranted a personal visit, even if it was an S-rank dungeon.
Fu Qingyang's tone was solemn: "Yes!"
Hearing this, Dog Elder gave a dignified "hmm" and hung up the phone. His opinion hadn't changed, but based on his understanding of Fu Qingyang, Dog Elder decided to go.
Fu Qingyang put down the phone and returned to the living room sofa. At this moment, Li Dongze was stroking the ghost doll, repeating in surprise:
"Oh my god, oh my god, it's a rule-based item."
"As expected, only A-rank or higher dungeons drop rule-based items. This is the second time I've personally come into contact with one."
Seeing Fu Qingyang return, Li Dongze raised his hand to his lips and coughed, restoring his elegance.
Fu Qingyang's bright, obsidian-like eyes turned to Zhang Yuanqing:
"Tell me about the dangers in the dungeon." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the three items.
Zhang Yuanqing pointed to them and said, "These are the biggest dangers in the dungeon, well, excluding the big boss."
Guan Ya looked at the exquisitely carved jade doll: "It's the most dangerous, right?" After all, it was a rule-based item.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "No, it's the least dangerous. Because as long as you crack its rules, you can resolve the crisis. As for the other two…"
He recalled the fear he felt when facing the paper figure, and his face turned pale.
Yuan Shi seems to have been traumatized by this dungeon… The three scouts "read between the lines" and recognized Yuan Shi tianzun's lingering fear, gaining a deeper and clearer understanding of the dangers of the Silent Village.
Rule-based items were the simplest, so the other two items either exceeded the limits of Extraordinary cultivators or were unsolvable.
Ling Jun picked up a thin slice of ready-to-eat ham, and while eating, asked:
"What kind of existence is the Silent Village's big boss?"
"It's a Ming Dynasty princess!" Zhang Yuanqing said.
Ling Jun's eyes lit up: "Is she pretty?"
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up: "Extremely beautiful. And…"
Guan Ya interjected with a forced smile: "And what?"
And I suspect she was taken advantage of by the Demon Lord, that guy is simply inhuman... Zhang Yuanqing almost revealed his identity as a descendant of the Demon Lord, and quickly changed his words:
"And she has eyes similar to Sister Guan Ya's, lively and bright, like the most dazzling gems in the world."
He looked into Guan Ya's eyes as he said the last half of the sentence. Ling Jun nodded with satisfaction, his teachings were effective.
"Cough!" Fu Qingyang cleared his throat expressionlessly. Guan Ya was happy, and her younger brother was angry.
At this moment, the brown double wooden door made a "dong dong" knocking sound. Fu Qingyang looked over and said, "Come in!"
The bunny girl opened the door, stood at the entrance, lowered her eyes at a forty-five-degree angle, and made a "please" gesture with a bow.
A curly-haired poodle, with steady steps, entered the study along the red carpet.
Everyone in the living room stood up and said respectfully, "Dog Elder!"
Dog Elder nodded slightly, his black button-like eyes swept across the room, paused when he saw the three items on the coffee table, then moved his gaze, looking at Yuan Shi tianzun, and said with a smile, "I told them a long time ago, problems that the Demon Lord couldn't solve, might be easily solved by you."
Guan Ya and others all had a "you didn't say that, but I dare not refute" expression on their faces.
Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and worshiped: "Thank you for your appreciation, Elder! Thank you for your cultivation!"
What a bootlicker... Ling Jun silently turned his face to one side. Dog Elder was very satisfied and said with a smile:
"Did you get these three items in the dungeon? The rewards are very generous. Well, don't waste time, tell me, what's so strange about this dungeon that I had to come over?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the juniors present looking at the items at the same time: "See for yourself!"
Dog Elder raised his paw and with a gentle wave, the three items flew up on their own, arranging themselves neatly in front of it.
Dog Elder placed his paw on the jade doll's head, and then, everyone clearly saw the poodle's dog face revealing a human-like astonishment.
Then, Dog Elder quickly moved his paw to the silver rouge box, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. After a few seconds, after reading the information on the rouge box, Dog Elder took a deep breath and raised his paw to press on the bronze mirror.
After reading the information on the three items, Dog Elder raised his dark eyes and looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "You kid... you always cause trouble every time you enter a dungeon."
His tone was both gratified and appreciative, and also like helpless complaint.
Zhang Yuanqing on the side, timely added: "If there is a walkthrough, you can almost pass the Silent Village without any loss."
Dog Elder slowly exhaled a breath: "This matter must be reported to headquarters!"
In the pet store.
Two cats were throwing punches at each other on the cat tree, their bodies teetering on the high shelves, yet always maintaining a delicate balance, like skilled acrobats.
Under the cat tree, a small bulldog was lazily snoring, its snores deafening.
Suddenly, a black and white husky rushed from afar, crashing into the cat tree, causing chaos, with cats and dogs barking.
Further away by the dog bowl, a Border Collie sat quietly, watching all of this, as if watching a group of mentally challenged children.
At this moment, the poodle by the desk said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
The noisy pet store instantly quieted down. Cats and dogs quietly lay on the ground, not daring to act rashly, including the husky.
After the pet store quieted down, Dog Elder opened the address book and dialed the number of "Lao Sun the Confused".
"Doo doo ~" The ringtone rang for a long time, finally connecting, and Sun Elder's voice came from the speaker: "Have you decided on the price?"
Dog Elder said: "Lao Sun, there's been a little situation with the Silent Village walkthrough, I can't make the decision, I need to report to headquarters."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Sun Elder tentatively asked: "Is there anything special about the Silent Village Spirit Realm dungeon?"
Dog Elder then informed Sun Elder of the rewards for clearing the dungeon, as well as the difficulty level with and without a walkthrough.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slightly rapid breathing from the phone.
Beijing, courtyard.
Sun Elder under the locust tree, sat upright in a rocking chair. The call had ended, but he still maintained the posture of listening to the phone.
Sun Elder stared at the corner of the yard with dazed eyes, but his eyes were not scattered, but rather shining brightly.
After maintaining this for more than ten seconds, Sun Elder threw the phone to the middle-aged assistant, "Immediately summon all the elders in my name and go to Wuliang Mountain for a meeting."
"What should I tell the elders?" the middle-aged assistant asked.
"Tell them that the Silent Village walkthrough may be the biggest opportunity since the founding of Taiyi Sect." After speaking, he transformed into golden light and disappeared into the sky.
In a spacious conference room, soft lighting illuminated the brand-new conference table. The curtains were tightly drawn, making it impossible to see the scenery outside the window.
The decoration of the conference room seemed very high-end, so high-end that it was like a carefully crafted sample, from the furnishings to the equipment, everything revealed luxury and high-end, but it was clean and tidy, as if it had never been used after it was set up.
"Di Di ~"
On the ceiling, ten metal probes full of black technology flashed yellow lights at the same time. Immediately afterwards, beams of light fell down, condensing into dignified and restrained figures, including handsome young men, beautiful women, old men with vicissitudes, and majestic middle-aged men.
There were also non-humans, such as a curly-haired poodle.
Seated at the head was a middle-aged man around forty years old. He had ordinary looks, unremarkable, but he had an unspeakable noble aura, like a calm and gentle monarch.
He didn't have a tall figure or bulging muscles, but he was exceptionally honest and sincere. Just sitting there, he gave people a sense of majestic weight like seeing a mountain.
The people in front of the conference table looked at the middle-aged man and said in unison, "Grand Elder!"
The Five Elements Alliance Grand Elder - Di Hong!
He was the son of the Central Court Alliance Leader, and Di Hong was the Spirit Realm ID personally taken for him by that Alliance Leader.
Level 9 Dominator, one of the strongest below the five Alliance Leaders of the Five Elements Alliance.
This meeting was convened by Grand Elder Di Hong. Each of the five major organizations sent two elders, totaling ten elders. Within the Five Elements Alliance, this level of meeting was called the "Ten Elders Meeting".
It was the highest-level and highest-level meeting below the Alliance Leader's meeting (only the Alliance Leader could convene all the elders of the Five Elements Alliance).
The Ten Elders Meeting was not convened lightly. Once convened, there must be a major event. A major event was not necessarily an urgent matter or a bad thing, but it must be a troublesome matter that was controversial and needed to be discussed.
The elders were thinking about the purpose of today's meeting when they heard Grand Elder Di Hong say:
"Yuan Shi tianzun of the Songhai branch has just returned from the Spirit Realm, bringing back the walkthrough of the Night Wanderer's exclusive Spirit Realm "Silent Village". This meeting requires everyone to discuss a result."
After a pause, he slowly said: "Whether to sell this walkthrough to Taiyi Sect."
Yuan Shi tianzun of the Songhai branch? Hearing this, the elders exchanged glances silently, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes. Some of them knew Yuan Shi tianzun through the arena competition, and some had only heard of him.
But no matter which one, they couldn't figure out how an Extraordinary Night Wanderer could get the Grand Elder to convene the Ten Elders Meeting.
——One of the highest-level meetings of the Five Elements Alliance.
And the reason why the Grand Elder convened the meeting was just a sale of an Extraordinary walkthrough?
Di Hong looked at the curly-haired poodle and said gently, "Dog Elder, please explain."
The elders turned their attention to the only non-human present. Dog Elder maintained a squatting posture and said calmly:
"You must all know about the rumors on the forum yesterday. The dungeon that Yuan Shi tianzun entered is called Silent Village, and it's quite strange."
"We already know this nonsense, get straight to the point." - A red-haired strong man urged impatiently.
Dog Elder pretended not to hear and continued his rhythm:
"According to Yuan Shi tianzun, that is a bug-level dungeon, which has already deviated from the Extraordinary category. Ordinary Night Wanderers will definitely die if they enter it, but if there is a walkthrough, this dungeon will become very simple."
"But that's not enough to convene a meeting specifically to discuss it. There should be more important reasons, right?" An elder of the White Tiger Clan said with a smile.
Dog Elder nodded:
"The key lies in the rewards of the dungeon. As long as you complete the tasks step by step, you can get three items, one rule-based and two Saint-level quality items... Saint-level quality items for the Night Wanderer profession!" Although they are imitations, each item can be used three times."
As the words fell, the quiet conference room echoed with voices. The elders, who were still dignified and calm a moment ago, were now expressing their opinions one after another.
"We can't sell it! This will shake our position."
"The Night Wanderer is already a peak profession. If they accumulate enough imitation items, the grassroots members of the Five Elements Alliance will be in a very embarrassing situation."
"But if we sell it to them, Night Wanderers in the Extraordinary realm will have an overwhelming advantage against evil professions of the same realm. This may be an opportunity to change the current situation. In the next ten years, the strength of evil organizations will be greatly reduced."
"I agree. The largest number of grassroots cultivators is the foundation of major organizations. Killing evil professions in the Extraordinary realm is equivalent to cutting off their foundation."
"But in this way, Taiyi Sect will take the opportunity to grow stronger and will inevitably compete with us for power. Folk organizations and Spirit Realm families will all lean towards them, and even the government will be more inclined to support Taiyi Sect."
"I think we can sell it, but we have to think about how to sell it."
At 10:30 in the evening, Sun Miaomiao, who had just taken a shower, sat in front of the computer, a hair-drying towel wrapped around her dark and beautiful hair, wearing cartoon pajamas, browsing the Taiyi Sect's official forum with a frown.
From yesterday to today, she, who liked surfing the Internet, witnessed the sect's Night Wanderers discussing the Yuan Shi tianzun incident, from secretly gloating to "amazing luck" and "the dungeon is not difficult" with a stubborn attitude.
She also witnessed and participated in the forum tearing and mutual spraying between the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Sect members.
"Really, still spraying each other, everyone is too angry..." The war of words between the two sides has lasted for a day, because the Night Wanderers' sarcastic remarks were screenshotted and sent to the Five Elements Alliance.
This morning, Yuan Shi tianzun made a strong return, slapping everyone in the face. The Five Elements Alliance members screamed and killed to the Taiyi Sect's forum and chat groups, launching a fierce war of words.
The Five Elements Alliance's spammers ridiculed Taiyi Sect's Night Wanderers to their heart's content, repeatedly repeating "the face is really painful".
The Night Wanderers were unable to refute this matter, so they broadened their thinking and ridiculed "aren't you working for our Taiyi Sect" "spending a little money can make you obediently offer the walkthrough".
Sun Miaomiao sighed, really, these guys are usually gentle and polite, but on the Internet, they are like outlaws, completely letting themselves go.
Thinking so, Sun Miaomiao logged in to her id called "Sun Wukong" and replied with a crackling sound:
"Five Elements Alliance stupid dogs!"
"I'm Yuan Shi tianzun's mother!"
"Yuan Shi tianzun is stronger than the Demon Lord? Really blowing it, I can't hold it back, why don't you say Yuan Shi tianzun is the Lord of the Spirit Realm."
"I really 'shuan q'."
Sun Miaomiao was not deliberately targeting Yuan Shi tianzun, she just liked to quarrel. In reality, she was a well-behaved, cute, sweet, and gentle little princess. Everyone was watching her words and deeds.
Only on the Internet could she maneuver and attack from left and right, defeating the enemy thousands of miles away with the crackling of the keyboard.
Sun Miaomiao felt uncomfortable if she didn't scold people for a day.
It happened to coincide with this war of words between the two sides, a grand occasion was in front of her, how could she miss it.
"Refreshing!" Sun Miaomiao stopped the flying hands on the keyboard, while holding the mouse to refresh the page, while picking up the cup to drink water, as if she had just sprayed out tons of saliva.
Suddenly, she refreshed to a new post, the title was: #Just saw it on the Five Elements Alliance forum, is it true or false#
What? Sun Miaomiao curiously opened the post.
The content of the post was reprinted from the Five Elements Alliance, the original title was #Reliable news, the high-level executives convened the Ten Elders Meeting to discuss whether to sell the Silent Village walkthrough to Taiyi Sect#
"The Five Elements Alliance convened the Ten Elders Meeting to discuss whether to sell the walkthrough for the Extraordinary stage dungeon?"
Sun Miaomiao almost laughed out loud, you have to pay attention to logic when making up lies.
She was about to run to the Five Elements Alliance to ridicule when she suddenly saw the comments below:
[Ling Jun: Alas, it's true! If you don't move, the Silent Village dungeon is very important to Taiyi Sect.]
[Zhao Chenghuang: @Ling Jun, so that's it, no wonder Grandpa went to Wuliang Mountain for a meeting and hasn't returned yet. What's so special about the Silent Village dungeon?]
[Ling Jun: No matter who it is, if you get the walkthrough and enter the dungeon, you can beat you up after you come out, not exaggerating! And the quantity is unlimited.][Maoshan Taoist: Unlimited quantity? I don't believe it. @Ling Jun]
[Ling Jun: Little things, believe it or not, don't talk nonsense, now we are begging them to sell it, but the Five Elements Alliance may not be willing. Alas, if Sun Elder hadn't agreed to Fu Qingyang, this walkthrough would have been ours from Taiyi Sect.]
Sun Miaomiao's expression suddenly solidified, suddenly losing the fun of being a spammer. This post caused a huge sensation on the Taiyi Sect forum.
They didn't believe the Five Elements Alliance's posts, but they had to believe Ling Jun and Zhao Chenghuang's words.
You can beat Zhao Chenghuang after coming out of Silent Village? What a joke, wouldn't that mean everyone can become the top existence in the Extraordinary stage. So, so the Five Elements Alliance convened the Ten Elders Meeting?!
In an instant, all the Night Wanderers felt a fire in their hearts. It turned out that Silent Village was so special.
We must, we must get the Silent Village walkthrough. At the same time, they realized that now it was Taiyi Sect's turn to look at the Five Elements Alliance's face. They looked at Yuan Shi tianzun's face.
On the same night, in the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing sat on a 3,000 yuan ergonomic chair and said, spraying saliva: "Recently, that perverted and pornographic fanatic called Demon Lord has continuously raped and killed three young girls and six beautiful women. Faced with extremely vicious super-powered criminals, the security officers were unable to deal with it, so they handed it over to our super-powered special forces team."
"I led the team to ambush the Demon Lord for a whole night. Finally, when he was preparing to attack a bar girl named Zhu Rong, I decisively attacked and fought a battle with the Demon Lord, and finally brought this heinous villain to justice."
His aunt sat on the edge of the bed, listening in a daze.
After her nephew finished speaking, her aunt's eyes were full of stars and admiration: "You're so amazing~"
"Yuanzi, you will be the great hero in my aunt's heart from now on."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded solemnly: "Protecting the weak is what people like us should do. In our organization, a great man codenamed Yuan Shi tianzun said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Super-powered people must always remember to take helping the weak and eliminating the strong as their mission and benefiting society as their belief."
His aunt said with emotion:
"His feelings are admirable."
The thing is, the night before last, his aunt found that her nephew was missing, and only his phone was left in his room.
The smart aunt immediately guessed that her nephew had received an order from the organization and went out to perform a mission, so she quietly concealed it for him and used a vague girlfriend to perfunctory his parents.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!
When she got off work today, the aunt quietly finished dinner, and immediately rushed to her nephew's bed, chattering and talking about the ins and outs, and then asked him if he really had a mission last night.
So there was the scene just now. The aunt asked with great interest: "Is that Demon Lord dead?" "Of course!"
"What about that bar girl named Zhu Rong, did you successfully rescue her?"
"Alas, she was rescued, but she was greatly traumatized. Later, a lunatic peeled off her face again."
"Oh! It's so scary, what's that lunatic called?"
On June 12th, the Saint Realm Arena Tournament ended as scheduled. There were no accidents and no dark horses. As everyone expected, Fu Qingyang won the championship, overpowering Jiang Ju, Yin Ji, and Fengdu Ghost King.
This should have been a highly anticipated grand event, but it was because of the "Silent Village" dungeon walkthrough storm that it took away most of the attention and topics.
The Taiyi Sect and Five Elements Alliance forums were all discussing the Silent Village dungeon, and occasionally saw a few scattered posts congratulating Fu Qingyang on winning the championship.
Regarding the issue of the "Silent Village" dungeon walkthrough, the Five Elements Alliance members, with a "small man achieves success" mentality, clamored that they would throw it into the water rather than give it to Taiyi Sect, and repeatedly ran to the Taiyi Sect forum to whip corpses and ridicule them.
The Taiyi Sect members suddenly lost their pride and the courage to quarrel, and could only complain in anger:
Elder Sun is confused! Fubangwan Villa, study.
Fu Qingyang sat on the brown leather sofa with a golden horse and a large knife, with a cigar in his hand. On the coffee table in front of him were pastries, desserts, fruits, and ham, as well as two bottles of whiskey.
"The elders have been arguing for two days, and finally there are results." Fu Qingyang glanced at the empty wine glass and signaled his confidant to pour wine.
"Sell or not sell?" Zhang Yuanqing understood and filled the centurion's glass.
He knew that the elders had been meeting (arguing) these days. It was said that when the argument was the fiercest, the Chi Fire Gang's elders said they wanted to have a one-on-one duel offline.
The duel target was everyone present.
In short, because of his walkthrough, the elders held a meeting for a full two days.
"Sell!"
"How to sell?"
Fu Qingyang said: "Two conditions, one: both parties sign a contract, as long as someone from Taiyi Sect clears the Silent Village, the items obtained must be shared equally with the Five Elements Alliance. Two: Taiyi Sect has to pack all the A-level and S-level in the 4th level dungeon in the database and give it to us."
The second condition was specially proposed for me… Zhang Yuanqing said: "Taiyi Sect agreed?"
Saint Realm dungeon walkthroughs, or A-level and S-level, each one is extremely valuable.
Fu Qingyang picked up the wine glass, elegantly took a shallow sip, and chuckled:
"Of course they don't want to, but the headquarters has a very strong attitude, and Taiyi Sect has no choice."
He put down the wine glass and said:
"In three more days, the Slaughter Dungeon will be opened. Your Yin corpse was lost in the Spirit Realm. At the latest tomorrow, I will hunt a level 3 Bewitching Demon's corpse for you. If there is anything else you need to prepare, hurry up and do it yourself."
Zhang Yuanqing was both expectant and nervous, and nodded vigorously.
The Slaughter Dungeon was his chance to be promoted to Saint. Once he was promoted to Saint, he could start investigating Bing Ge's disappearance.
Fu Qingyang put down the wine glass and continued:
"Tonight, the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Sect will hold an online meeting, and all members who plan to participate in the Slaughter Dungeon will participate. You must also participate."
"Mobilization meeting?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Fu Qingyang nodded, "Every year at this time, evil organizations will summon members to discuss plans to hunt down law-abiding professions. At the meeting, Saints will share their experiences in the Slaughter Dungeon, so you can understand the habits and methods of evil organizations."
Jinshan City, suburb.
Two electric scooters rode side by side and finally stopped at a logistics company in a remote location.
Kou Beiyue, wearing a takeaway uniform, supported the ground with one foot and looked at the logistics company that rented the abandoned factory as a venue, envious:
"I know it's very profitable to do logistics, you are really capable."
The companion next to him was a baby-faced youth who didn't care:
"It's all funds allocated by the organization, I'm the manager. From now on, this will be the gathering place for the Spirit Energy Society's Jinshan City division, and also the black market opened by the Spirit Energy Society. If you want to inquire about news or buy and sell items and materials in the future, just come to me. Although there are still few people willing to trade here now, I believe there will be more and more in the future."
This person was exactly the Spirit Realm ID of the Gu King's subordinate - Eater of Human Blood Buns.
Kou Beiyue was overjoyed in his heart. The reason why he was hanging out with the Eater of Human Blood Buns was to open up a stable channel to help Xiao Yuan inquire about news and send and receive tasks.
"But won't this be too conspicuous? I thought your evil organizations' gathering places were all in brothels and casinos."
Eater of Human Blood Buns laughed:
"Did you watch too many movies, we are already street rats, and if we do brothels and casinos, are we afraid that the security officers won't find us? Generally speaking, the most suitable places for us are bars, hotels, and places like logistics companies with large traffic and won't attract suspicion. Also, evil organizations is the official definition of our name, don't always put 'evil' on your lips, you will be beaten if you meet your colleagues."
Oh, no wonder Xiao Yuan wanted to buy a hotel back then... Kou Beiyue suddenly realized and asked:
"Is there any intelligence recently?"
Eater of Human Blood Buns glanced at him, put his arm around Kou Beiyue's shoulder, and sighed: "Beiyue, it's best to prepare the tickets before asking about this kind of thing, but I know you don't have money. For the sake of our like-mindedness, I will give you two pieces of news for free."
"The first piece of news is that Yuan Shi tianzun came back alive from the dungeon. Damn it, this guy is really powerful, this time we all thought he would be finished. As the old saying goes, good people don't live long, and pests live for a thousand years."
It feels weird to hear this from the mouth of your evil profession… Kou Beiyue resisted the urge to complain and asked:
"What about the second piece of news?"
"The second piece of news, I heard that this year's summit of major organizations is set in Jiangnan Province. Yuan Shi tianzun and Fu Qingyang are the two core figures of this meeting. In the Slaughter Dungeon in the middle of the year, one of them must die. This is a hard target given by the higher-ups."
