This guy is testing me. Zhang Yuanqing is no longer a novice. It's hard for outsiders to know the characteristics of the Demon Lord's heir.
The only thing that makes people suspicious is the frequent entry into high-difficulty Instances. But it's just suspicion. There have been Night Watcher newbies who entered the Remnant Spirit Tunnel. The Trial mission is level S. It cannot be used as evidence of being the Demon Lord's heir.
As for the Gold Water Amusement Park, Instances have a matching mechanism. The stronger the person, the higher the difficulty of the matched Instance. This is reasonable.
Therefore, this Ling Jun is 100% testing him.
The Taiyi Sect will not easily give up searching for the Demon Lord's heir. There will probably be more tests like this in the future. Zhang Yuanqing sneered, showing a certain arrogance to make himself more like a genius. He said disdainfully:
"Who are you looking down on? What is the Demon Lord's heir?"
Ling Jun's face was full of smiles: "Then it seems I guessed wrong. If you were the Demon Lord's heir, Elder Sun would be even more confused."
This guy has a thick skin. Zhang Yuanqing didn't continue to dwell on this topic. He asked curiously:
"Is it really okay for you Taiyi Sect to make fun of an elder like this?"
"Of course there's something wrong, but everyone says it, so it's the same as nothing. Even if Elder Sun gets angry, he can only find the instigator, which is Yuan Ting, Captain Yuan of Kangyang District." Ling Jun said gloatingly:
"But Elder Sun has entered an Instance and hasn't come out yet."
Poor Captain Yuan, I'll burn incense for you. Zhang Yuanqing mourned for Yuan Ting in his heart.
At this moment, Fu Qingyang returned with a cold expression, followed by Guan Ya, who looked angry.
After leaving some elite personnel to clean up the scene, the group left the scene. Li Dongze and others went back to recuperate, and the arriving support team went to search for Heng Xingwuji's real hiding place.
Zhang Yuanqing had seen the location of that apartment in his memory.
In the business car on the way back, Guan Ya lazily leaned on the leather seat and frowned:
"I don't know what medicine Fu Qingyang took today. He scolded me."
Zhang Yuanqing smiled: "Maybe because he's rich and stupid?"
Guan Ya was stunned and looked at him suspiciously: "Did you say something to him?"
Zhang Yuanqing smiled: "Maybe because I'm horny but not daring?"
"Okay, you brat, you dare to sell me out. Are you ready to have your eggs broken?"
"Arrogant old driver, who knows if you'll be humiliated by my crotch?"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Li Dongze silently glanced at the two subordinates who were full of murderous intent but didn't move their butts.
Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix.
……
Fu Qingyang returned to his luxurious villa and went upstairs to the study without saying a word.
After closing the doors and windows, he dialed the phone of Elder Teddy, who was in charge of the Black Impermanence incident.
Elder Teddy isn't a teddy bear. His Instance is called "The Old Man and the Dog." He's a highly respected elder who is said to have lost both parents at a young age and grew up with a dog.
Therefore, he often possesses various canines and rarely shows himself in his true form.
Of course, this is also a way to hide himself.
The phone was quickly connected. Fu Qingyang heard a dog bark from the speaker, followed by a clearing of the throat and a cough. Then he heard Elder Teddy's voice:
"What's the matter?"
His tone was gentle but with authority.
"Tonight, the team of The Way of the Extraordinary under my command encountered an ambush while capturing Heng Xingwuji..." Fu Qingyang calmly described the course of events.
"Someone leaked the information..." Elder Teddy said slowly: "What are the losses?"
His tone revealed solemnity.
"Three people were seriously injured, and the others only suffered minor injuries." Fu Qingyang said deliberately: "Originally, they should have been completely wiped out."
"Hmm?"
"The newly recruited Night Watcher killed Heng Xingwuji, saving the lives of the entire team." The reason why Fu Qingyang emphasized this was to curry favor for Yuanshi Tianzun and increase his weight in the elders' hearts.
This way, the elders will block many troubles from the Taiyi Sect.
Elder Teddy was silent for a few seconds and smiled: "Well done. It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting newcomer. We really can't let him go to the Taiyi Sect."
He said with emotion, his mood seemed to be much better, and asked, "Anything else?"
Fu Qingyang then recounted the information obtained from Spirit Interrogation.
Elder Teddy didn't speak again. The other end of the phone was silent. Even the faint dog barks disappeared.
"Elder?" Fu Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly: "Do you know the details of 'Dark Night Rose'?"
A sigh came from the other end of the phone, "The last time I heard about this organization was more than twenty years ago, and it was related to a turmoil involving Spirit Realm families.
"A turmoil involving Spirit Realm families?" Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, seeming to think of something: "One of the three Musicians families was destroyed twenty-one years ago."
"This is not something you should know. At least I can't reveal it here. If you want to know, go ask your family yourself." Elder Teddy said lightly:
"Marshal has approved my application. After a while, the Tiger Amulet will be sent to Songhai. The annual 'General Checkup' is also coming soon. I plan to combine the two things. Heh, let's see how many bad apples there are in the Five Elements Alliance."
At two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing took the elevator back to his doorstep. He went around to the blind spot of the corridor surveillance and used Night Wandering.
He opened the corridor window, flipped out nimbly, used the air conditioner outdoor unit as a pedal, leaped with all his might, grabbed the window sill of his bedroom, and flipped in.
Before going on the mission, he had deliberately opened the window of the room.
Then, Zhang Yuanqing changed his damaged clothes, turned the doorknob, pretended to get up to go to the toilet, and took a shower in the bathroom.
After washing away the dirt and blood, as if he had also washed away the fatigue and minor injuries, Zhang Yuanqing felt refreshed. With the Night Watcher's powerful vitality, as long as it wasn't a fatal injury, not missing arms or legs, he didn't need treatment.
Back in the room, he sat at the table, closed his eyes, and reviewed today's battle.
"With my current methods, it's no problem for me to single-handedly take on three level 3 The Way of the Extraordinary... well, Red Dancing Shoes can single-handedly take on one, and Ghost Bride can single-handedly take on three.
Cat King Speaker controls the field, and Little Cutie provides support.
"It's a pity that Bloodthirsty Blade and Demon Subduing Pestle don't have self-awareness and can't deal with enemies themselves."
Opening his eyes, he turned on his laptop and logged into the official database.
Zhang Yuanqing entered: Origin of Instances in the search box.
There were dozens of search results, but they were all The Way of the Extraordinary's guesses about Instances. Some of the more reliable ones guessed that Instances were products of alien civilizations or relics of prehistoric civilizations that relied on technology.
Some of the less reliable ones believed that Instances were real parallel worlds, and they said their own experiences with great enthusiasm:
During an Instance, he developed feelings for an enthusiastic and cheerful lady and couldn't help but give her everything he had. The lady gladly welcomed him with open arms.
The experience was no different from reality.
Therefore, Instances are real parallel worlds.
"Damn it, the content changed as I watched it, no, it turned yellow. Why hasn't this kind of post been edited?" Zhang Yuanqing helplessly exited the database.
The posts that were searched were all the official The Way of the Extraordinary's wild guesses. The organization didn't endorse them, and there was no way to find out the official's views on the matter.
In this case, either the official didn't have relevant research, or his permissions weren't high enough.
I can only wait until I get promoted in the future to figure out this matter. Now, the things I need to deal with are the Taiyi Sect's questioning; the search for Black Impermanence; revenge on Xia Houtianyuan, that grandson... Zhang Yuanqing left the table and was about to go to bed.
At this moment, the Cat King Speaker in the drawer made a "buzzing" sound of electricity.
Is it going to sing, or is it going to play audio of dirty films? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, stopped, and opened the drawer. Almost at the same time, a hoarse, low voice came from the Cat King Speaker's speakers:
"I just finished a solo Instance today. The background is the Ming Dynasty. I learned about a strange phenomenon from it. They actually obtain extraordinary power in the form of cultivation. Is this just a background design, or is there another reason?"
"Forget it, I don't want to think about these things. I'm already level 3. After experiencing the first Slaughter Instance, I can be promoted to Saint. I haven't found a way to break the restriction yet. I hope there will be gains in the Saint realm..."
This is... Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank. The Demon Lord's voice.
He held his breath and listened intently.
"Not joining the official organization was the biggest mistake. The Night Watcher's solo Instances are too difficult. There are no Instance guides. Level A Instances can make your scalp tingle, and level S has a death rate of 9%. I don't know if there are even more difficult Instance levels. Forget it, I can't join the official organization anyway. I can't pass the General Checkup.
"I heard that the White Tiger Army Corps's female marshal repeatedly cleared level S Instances in the Extraordinary stage and the Saint stage. She's a really awesome woman. I want to sleep with her..."
No, you can't sleep with her. You were beaten up by her later. Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain.
So, when the Demon Lord was in the Extraordinary stage, the White Tiger Army Corps's female marshal was already a female marshal. How old is she now?
The female marshal is the most powerful The Way of the Extraordinary, too far away. It can be a grand goal, but now the most important thing is to be down-to-earth. I have to go hunt down evil professions. Without reputation points, I can't attack The Way of the Extraordinary in the Lawful camp. I must kill ten Lawful professions every month.
This is my mission..."
"I'm still one short of this month's quota. I captured a Dryad from the Hundred Flowers Association today. She's got smooth skin and tender meat. She said she was willing to exchange her body for her life. I think performance is more important."
"The Dryads from the Hundred Flowers Association are really moist. She's a beauty. In exchange, I didn't kill her. Hey, you have to be honest."
Honesty my ass! Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.
He finally realized why Yuan Ting of the Taiyi Sect said that the Demon Lord was a fallen Night Watcher. This person is evil and definitely not on the right path.
How could Soldier Bro be related to this kind of person?
The Cat King Speaker made a "buzzing" sound of electricity. The Demon Lord's voice gradually disappeared. Zhang Yuanqing waited for a while, and the second audio appeared.
This time it wasn't the Demon Lord talking to himself, but talking to someone:
Demon Lord: "I killed a deacon of the Five Elements Alliance today and saw some interesting things in his spirit body."
Then, a somewhat shrill voice said:
"Spit it out."
"That guy is outwardly a member of the Five Elements Alliance, but secretly he is loyal to Dark Night Rose."
"Dark Night Rose?"
"Oh, even you haven't heard of it? It seems that this organization is very hidden. According to the current information, the leader of Dark Night Rose should be a Night Watcher. Heh, that level of The Way of the Extraordinary should no longer be called Night Watcher. I can tell you the contact information of their organization. Haven't you always wanted to subvert the Five Elements Alliance?" The Demon Lord laughed.
"Okay! You better not lie to me, or I'll make you pay the price." The shrill voice said.
"Then now, give me the guide for Instance 0029." The Demon Lord said.
After a dozen seconds of silence, the Demon Lord said with satisfaction:
"The transaction is complete, Black Impermanence. Are you going to enter a solo Instance recently?"
"What's it to you?"
"Don't die. I'm very interested in your head. One day, I will personally take your head off. Of course, and your boss's."
ps: I will update the wrong words first and then revise them.
