“What's so special about the Yin-Yang Town instance that she doesn't think it can be submitted directly to the database?” Ling Jun asked suspiciously.

“Planning to let the Fu family secretly pocket it?”

Fu Qingyang picked up his knife and fork and resumed his breakfast, saying, “Even if that's the case, it's understandable.”

Guan Ya is not only a member of the Five Elements Alliance but also a direct descendant of the Fu family. It's only natural and reasonable for her to notify her family first if there's something "good."

Fu Qingyang also thought it was possible that his cousin had discovered something unusual in the Yin-Yang Town instance. The two continued eating and chatting casually.

“When are you rolling back to Beijing?”

“About a year and a half. Going back to Beijing means dealing with girlfriends again, too annoying.”

“After a year and a half, your girlfriends in Songhai will also be annoyingly numerous, right?”

“Actually, they're not all girlfriends. I like spending time with women, talking about romance, talking about life, giving small gifts. It's a Platonic relationship, but they always think they're my girlfriends, alas.”

“Like father, like son!” Fu Qingyang sneered.

“You can insult my dad, but you can't insult me! He had kids just to train The Way of the Extraordinary. I'm different. I pursue romantic relationships, a communion of souls. Occasionally, when I can't control myself, I also crave a fusion of bodies,” Ling Jun said indignantly.

At this moment, the bunny girl returned with the computer, carefully placing it beside Fu Qingyang. He unlocked the computer screen, opened his email, and downloaded the email sent by Guan Ya.

A few minutes later, Ling Jun watched as Fu Qingyang, who had been sitting casually, straightened up, his indifferent expression turning serious, and his calm eyes suddenly sharpened.

This was rare for Fu Qingyang. From Ling Jun's understanding of him, it meant either something major had happened or something had shocked him.

Otherwise, the poker-faced man wouldn't have reacted this way.

“What did the report say?” Ling Jun asked.

“Guan Ya said that Yin-Yang Town has a hidden storyline. Teams with different strengths experience different storylines. Last night, they went through the most difficult storyline, and that storyline has never been cleared.”

“That's it?”

“The difficulty of that storyline is probably close to an S-level instance.”

“I didn't expect Yin-Yang Town to have such a deep hidden storyline. But there are thousands upon thousands of spiritual realm instances, and the number of instances that haven't been explored is countless. There's nothing to keep secret about that, right?”

Fu Qingyang glanced at him and said indifferently, “The enemy they encountered was Li Xianzong.”

Ling Jun, who was drinking milk, sprayed it out in a puff.

The germaphobe Fu Qingyang frowned.

Ling Jun wiped his mouth casually and asked, “Are there any strong players in the Lawful faction?”

Fu Qingyang shook his head: “It was Yuan Shi who killed Li Xianzong.”

Ling Jun was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

“This kid's growth rate is making my scalp tingle. We were only at this level when we were young, right? Give him another year or two, and wouldn't he be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with us? Then the official Four Young Masters would become Five Young Masters.”

He immediately became happy:

“Since the trials of the Evil faction began, the bastards in the Transcendent stage have been getting beaten up all the time. This time, they can finally vent their anger. Haha, I can imagine the wonderful expressions on the faces of the Evil faction's The Way of the Extraordinary after hearing the news."

"However, Elder Sun will definitely be unhappy again. Elder Sun...cough cough, I won't use that gag anymore."

Fu Qingyang cast a puzzled look: “Hmm?”

Ling Jun sighed:

“Didn't Elder Sun come out of the spiritual realm a while ago? He went to the forum and suddenly lamented that the younger generation of the Taiyi Sect were slacking off in their cultivation, so he summoned Yuan Ting to Beijing for personal training. A few days ago, he also posted a special training video on the Taiyi Sect's official website, and immediately no one dared to use that gag again.”

Fu Qingyang said indifferently: “Let's hope so.” He held the computer and left the dining room.

In the report, Guan Ya described Yuan Shi Tianzun's performance in the instance in detail, including various details, and mentioned the existence of a hidden item.

Guan Ya didn't say the detailed information about the item, but she clearly pointed out that Yuan Shi Tianzun relied on that item to turn defeat into victory.

And what he had to do now was to "polish" the report, making certain deletions and revisions, while retaining the premise that Yuan Shi Tianzun led the team to clear the instance and kill Li Xianzong, and hiding the existence of the item.

A report on clearing a spiritual realm is equivalent to a strategy guide. After it's uploaded to the database, official The Way of the Extraordinary with sufficient permissions can see it, including possible members of Dark Night Rose and black sheep who associate with Evil occupations. Guan Ya bypassed Li Dongze to give him this report and let him make the decision because of this.

Scattered Provinces, Crab City.

In a high-end residential area in the city center, on the 16th floor, on a spacious balcony, a queen with bright and bold features and silver hoops dangling from her earlobes was sitting on a soft armchair. In front of her was a small round glass table with a small laptop on it.

She was wearing sunglasses. The whiteness of her face, the blackness of the sunglasses, and the lipstick on her lips combined to create a captivating mature woman vibe.

At the moment, she was looking down and replying to Guan Ya's message:

“Understood, I won't write about that robe in the report.” The queen put down her phone and continued to type furiously on the keyboard.

Mission reports can be written later; surfing the internet is the priority!

“After entering Yin-Yang Town, I discovered that there were actually two official colleagues in the team. You'll never guess who they are. That's right, it's Yuan Shi Tianzun and Guan Ya from the Songhai branch. Yuan Shi Tianzun, a big star! I finally met him in person. First, let me tell you my first impression of him. Hmm, he's a very handsome puppy..."

The queen deleted "puppy" and retyped:

“A very handsome young man, looking to be in his early twenties, clean and tidy, and more handsome than I imagined. The first level we experienced was the Cursed Cat...I won't talk about the process, I can only write it in the report. I can only tell you that this level was very dangerous, and we were able to survive thanks to Yuan Shi Tianzun.

"The second level was a widow, said to be very promiscuous. One of our teammates was unfortunately seduced by the widow and almost had something something happen. It was Yuan Shi Tianzun again who allowed the entire team to survive unscathed.

"Next is the main point, everyone sit tight, the main point is coming. The third level was a joint battle against the boss by both factions. You definitely can't guess that the leader of the Evil faction was—Li Xianzong.

"It's such a coincidence that these two would encounter each other in the instance. If Li Xianzong were a woman, I would even suspect that they might have a karmic relationship.

"This battle was very difficult for us. Li Xianzong is worthy of being a Transcendent realm powerhouse on the wanted list. I have never encountered such a fierce Evil occupation. In the end, due to certain unspeakable reasons, the enemy became invincible, and our personnel suffered heavy losses. We had no choice but to escape.

"I was desperate at the time, and I was ready to die in the instance. But, but I must say, Yuan Shi Tianzun is worthy of being a genius who has cleared two S-levels. His abilities, his wisdom, his methods, will only be stronger than you imagine.

"He led us to turn the tables, won the factional confrontation mission, and killed Li Xianzong with his own hands. Ahhh, the poster is really in love with him!!"

After editing the post, the queen corrected a few typos and clicked send.

In the following time, she leaned lazily on the sofa, picked up her coffee, and sipped it gently.

And in the computer, the ding-donging message replies never stopped. At the most intense times, there were even several message replies every second.

Haha, as I expected, the heat is exploding. My post will definitely be pinned to the top. In another half a month, my points will be enough, and then I can apply to be a forum administrator. The queen happily thought.

By the time she slowly finished her coffee, half an hour had passed.

The queen finally put down her cup, refreshed the post, and checked the replies. The forum had already exploded. The post was highlighted and pinned by the administrator.

[Lai Ri Fang Chang: Fake, right? Poster, you're being too much by using this kind of clout-chasing to get replies. At least make up something reliable, like Li Xianzong attacking Yuan Shi Tianzun again, but the quick-witted Yuan Shi Tianzun escaped his fate once again.]

[Jiang Yang: The poster might be a fan of Yuan Shi Tianzun, writing a short essay to restore the image of her idol and boost the morale of our official colleagues?]

[Binlang Jia Yan Fali Wubian: Indeed, it's too exaggerated. From the first level to the third level, everything was Yuan Shi Tianzun's credit? Are all of you teammates useless? How come I've never met such an awesome leader? Well, after all, people who have cleared two S-levels in a row are more precious than national treasures. It's normal that I've never met one. Normal to question, no offense.]

The subsequent dozen or so replies were questioning the authenticity of the post.

Until more people discovered this post, joined the discussion, and some "internet friends" who were more familiar with the queen began to reply:

[Xiao Zhu Qiao Zhi: First of all, the queen is not a fan of Yuan Shi Tianzun. She doesn't even stan the Four Young Masters, let alone Yuan Shi Tianzun. Also, from my understanding of her, she wouldn't write this kind of short essay to deceive people for clout. But, having said that, if the content of the post is true, then I won't do anything today. I'm preparing to eat melons online.]

[Duo Qing De Zhen Ni: I remember the queen posted last week saying that the time to go to the instance is getting closer and closer. I personally feel that what she said is true. Holy crap, then this matter is blown up. There's really a good show to watch. Yuan Shi Tianzun is awesome!!!]

[Gua Ren You Ji: Perhaps, my question shouldn't be asked now, but I still want to know, seduced by the widow, does that refer to the golden needle piercing the peach blossom core? Is the widow beautiful? Is she fresh and juicy? Everyone, don't misunderstand. I'm about to enter the spiritual realm too, and I want to do some academic research.]

The two factions with different opinions argued endlessly, pushing the post's heat to a climax. Then, the The Way of the Extraordinary from the Songhai branch came down to participate.

[Li Dongze: My God, aren't there any other strong players on your team? It really was Yuan Shi who killed Li Xianzong? Oh, my God, my God, I'm so excited I want to smash your dog head with a stick.]

[Wang Fei: I remember this person is Yuan Shi Tianzun's superior, right? What does he mean by this? He doesn't know yet? Then the content of the post is very suspicious.]

[Bai Long: I don't know if the content of the post is true or false, but I know that Yuan Shi will indeed enter the spiritual realm soon, and it's a multi-person spiritual realm. We discussed it yesterday.]

[Qing Teng: The queen isn't from Songhai. She couldn't possibly know that Yuan Shi will enter the spiritual realm recently. The post is mostly true, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? How did he do it? It's too amazing, too unbelievable.]

[Quan Wang: Damn it, I bought five million, betting that Yuan Shi and Li Xianzong had a 50-50 chance, and I've lost everything.]

With the participation of colleagues from the Songhai branch, the voices of doubt suddenly subsided. While discussing, everyone sat in front of their computers and refreshed the strategy guides in the database.

Yin-Yang Town belongs to the Transcendent stage instance, and official The Way of the Extraordinary in the Transcendent realm can search for it. Even if their permissions are not enough to view it, searching is no problem.

At noon, the forum administrator personally posted a post: #Yuan Shi Tianzun and Li Xianzong met in Yin-Yang Town, Li Xianzong died# caused a sensation on the official forum.

Huayu Hotel.

Xie Lingxi excitedly brushed the official forum. She had been sitting in front of the computer brushing it all morning.

Although she couldn't register an account, leave messages, or post because she wasn't an official member, she was already very excited and satisfied just by browsing those posts and comments discussing her Yuan Shi gege.

The man I admire is worthy of it. He avenged his revenge so quickly. I said, with Yuan Shi gege's potential, how could he possibly fall on Li Xianzong? Xie Lingxi satisfyingly slid the wheel, immersed in the sky-like rain of discussions.

Before today, those official The Way of the Extraordinary were still pointing fingers, commenting on the gap between Yuan Shi gege and Li Xianzong, with a tone of disappointment.

Hmph, now they're all calling him "Lord Tianzun", shameless.

Yuan Shi gege's popularity is getting higher and higher. The Evil organization's reward for him will definitely increase. That "Please Call Me Queen" seems to be from our Scattered Provinces, saying she's in love with Yuan Shi Tianzun, how annoying!

At this time, the female assistant came over with her phone and whispered, "Miss, the family head wants to talk to you."

Xie Lingxi didn't take her eyes off the computer and said indifferently, "Tell him that because of his teachings, I have severed all ties with Yuan Shi Tianzun."

"What?" An angry voice came from the speakerphone, "Lingxi, you, how can you be so muddleheaded?"

"Dad, isn't this what you wanted?"

"I..." The man on the phone choked for a moment, then softened his tone: "Can it be salvaged?"

"I can try, but..." Xie Lingxi sighed, "Dad, you'll have to bleed heavily. Prepare two items, ten million in cash."

Shijing Farmhouse.

Bright lights cut through the darkness. A white car was parked outside the farmhouse.

The beautiful Aunt Xiao Yuan parked and turned off the engine, opened the car door, stood by the car, and glanced at the brightly lit farmhouse hotel in the dark night.

Today, she was wearing light-colored jeans, a black vest, and a woman's windbreaker. Her long legs, round hips, slender waist, and big breasts outlined a mature and alluring figure.

Shijing Farmhouse was familiar to her, another black market where Evil occupations gathered.

She had just learned a while ago that the black market in Tianlingling had been wiped out, with corpses all over the place, and no one cared about them even after they had begun to stink.

In the end, it was an Evil occupation who often went to the underground bar who discovered the scene and called the security department. The authorities then arrived to clean up the scene.

After a strict review, Aunt Xiao Yuan entered the farmhouse, passed through the hall where the drinkers gathered, and, amidst a series of amazing gazes, came to the backyard of the farmhouse and met the owner here.

The owner of the farmhouse was a simple-looking village woman, with black hair streaked with silver, in her forties and up.

She was sitting by the well in the backyard, making bean curd sheets. "Xiao Yuan." The middle-aged woman looked up, then lowered her head and continued to work: "You rarely come here. What have you been doing these past few years?" The middle-aged woman was a member of the Spirit Ability Association and used to be Xiao Yuan's mentor, treating her quite well. But because their beliefs differed, Xiao Yuan didn't join the Spirit Ability Association.

She had always felt guilty towards this mentor and rarely came to see her.

"Working in a hotel." Xiao Yuan said indifferently: "Sister Yan, I'm here to buy some intelligence." The middle-aged woman didn't respond and continued to make bean curd sheets.

Xiao Yuan said: "I want intelligence on Li Xianzong, what he's been doing recently, the areas he's hiding in, etc., the more detailed the better."

She collected intelligence on Li Xianzong to sell to Yuan Shi Tianzun, who still owed her money. She couldn't let Li Xianzong reap his life before he paid back the money.

"There's no need." The middle-aged woman lowered her head to work.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan frowned.

"Li Xianzong was killed in the instance," the middle-aged woman said.

What? This news caught Xiao Yuan off guard. Although The Way of the Extraordinary dying in the spiritual realm was like a general dying on the battlefield, nothing could be more normal.

But hearing it at this moment still felt absurd and ridiculous.

Such a strong genius died just like that? Yuan Shi Tianzun's luck was a little too good. Xiao Yuan pondered: "Is this the news from the Soldiers of Light?"

"No, it's the Five Elements Alliance."

The middle-aged woman finally looked up, wiped her hands clean, and said seriously, "The news from the Five Elements Alliance forum is that Yuan Shi Tianzun and Li Xianzong entered the same instance, and that genius from the Soldiers of Light was killed."

Xiao Yuan was stunned.

The middle-aged woman said unhurriedly:

"The bounty for Yuan Shi Tianzun has moved up another step, ranking fourth. The reward is very generous. If you're short of money, you can try hunting him. Songhai and Jinshan City are not far away."

After she finished speaking, she examined the dazed Xiao Yuan, her brow furrowing slightly: "What's wrong?"

This guy...Xiao Yuan came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and casually said, "I see. If I have the chance, I'll hunt down Yuan Shi."

Bedroom.

Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes. The setting sun slanted westward, and the setting sun was like blood. The time was 6:30 in the afternoon.

He opened his eyes brightly, feeling full of power, wishing he could punch Shura and step on the Marshal. He could scare back the Taiyi Sect master with a roar. His state was better than ever.

He put on his slippers and came to the living room. The sound of his grandmother stir-frying ingredients came from the kitchen. "Grandma, I'm hungry, hurry up." Zhang Yuanqing howled.

His grandmother ignored him.

Zhang Yuanqing greeted his grandfather and returned to the bedroom.

He picked up his phone, turned off airplane mode, and looked at the unread messages.

Guan Ya sent him a message at noon, saying that she had finished writing the strategy guide and told him to rest well.

Zhang Yuanqing exited the chat software and couldn't wait to open the official forum. Seeing all the posts praising himself, he instantly felt happy, curled up the corners of his mouth, and immersed himself in it. Before he knew it, an hour had passed.

The Queen is very sensible, helping me show off in front of people. Humans really need to show off, and showing off in front of people can relieve boredom.

After lunch, Zhang Yuanqing returned to the bedroom, sat at the desk, and took out the Yin-Yang Sanren's Cultivation Record from the inventory. The "notes" left by a person who lived in the same era as the Three Mountain Niangniang, I wonder what secrets they would record.

Maybe it can unlock the secrets of the spiritual realm, even if it's just a part. Zhang Yuanqing carefully opened the yellowed and brittle cover.
