In the chat software, there was indeed a message from Fu Qingyang: "Gao Feng Elder and Gan Lu Elder of the Hangzhou branch are missing. The Hangzhou branch is requesting assistance from Songhai. I'll go take a look. If you come back, come support me immediately."

"Two Elders missing at the same time?" Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, immediately dialed Fu Qingyang's phone. The voice prompt indicated that the dialed number was not in service, indicating that Fu Qingyang was in a barrier, illusion, or something similar.

With Fu Qingyang's wisdom and strength, there shouldn't be anything to worry about unless a peak Overlord acted without moral constraints.

And Gao Feng Elder possessed a rule-based item, Coward's Blanket, said to be indestructible even by Demigods.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't panic, hung up the phone, and then dialed Gou Elder's number. It rang for a few seconds before the call connected. JoJo said, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun?"

"Why is Gou Elder's phone with you?" Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, then said in a deep voice, "Let Gou Elder answer the phone."

"Wait a moment," JoJo said in a good mood.

A dozen seconds later, Gou Elder's gentle voice sounded from the speaker: "Fu Qingyang said you've been working on the high-difficulty integration of the White Tiger Legion lately. Why do you have time to call me?"

Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the point: "Gao Feng Elder and Gan Lu Elder of Hangzhou are missing. Fu Qingyang went out to rescue them, and we can't contact him now."

Gou Elder said in a gentle voice, "I know. Fu Qingyang and Tian Huo Elder are in charge of this rescue operation. Gao Feng was probably targeted by the evil faction. The evil faction's actions have been getting bigger recently, often attacking the official Overlords."

"If you paid attention to the forum, you would have noticed that three official Overlords have already returned to The Way of the Extraordinary."

"The evil faction has been so arrogant lately?" Zhang Yuanqing didn't really pay attention to the outside world, but his focus was on the big picture, not local battles.

Currently, the evil faction's Demigods and high-level Overlords have chosen to lie low, restoring the previous calm. As for individual Saints and Overlords, he didn't care.

Within Zhang Yuanqing's scope of attention, he trusted that Fu Qingyang would tell him if anything major happened or if he sensed a big conspiracy. Gou Elder said in a deep voice, "After the disappearance of the morality value event, everyone knows that the balance has been broken. Mid- and low-level The Way of the Extraordinary participants speculate that there will be a major conflict between the factions in the near future, but they don't know the specific extent."

"But for the Overlords of both factions, the final battle has entered the countdown, and they all want to enhance their strength and survive before the final battle."

"Gao Feng Elder has a rule-based item and an Earth Monster at the early stage of Level 8. His defense is strong but his attack is weak, so it's inevitable that he'll be targeted by the evil faction. Don't mention the evil professions; I'm envious of that item."

"The faction war hasn't even started yet, and the Overlord level is already surging. I haven't appeared in the outside world for a while. Have the evil Overlords become so arrogant that they dare to hunt down Gao Feng Elder?" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"How long has Gao Feng Elder been missing?"

"Six hours," Gou Elder said. "He and Gan Lu Elder lost contact with the Hangzhou branch while dealing with a certain cult."

Missing for six hours!

Zhang Yuanqing's expression relaxed slightly. "The Coward's Blanket can protect him for four hours. Boss has been gone for an hour. They should be safe for now. Gou Elder, stay in Songhai! I'll handle this."

Yuan Shi's tone was very confident.

"Challenging Gao Feng is at least an Overlord at Level 8. The evil professionals who hunted him down won't be low-level, and there won't be few of them!" Gou Elder suddenly had a sense of the changes of time, as if he had seen a thousand years in an instant.

Back then, this kid was just a naive young man who was so scared that he prostrated himself after he messed with his head.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a big figure in the world of The Way of the Extraordinary, comparable to his father, or even surpassing him; it was only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, he heard Yuan Shi Tian Zun ask from the speaker, "How's the case of Huo Zhengkui going?..."

Gou Elder was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "It's an old case, and there's no way to investigate it. JoJo and I have compiled a list of The Way of the Extraordinary participants who were clearly at the Overlord level and could threaten Huo Zhengkui at the time. Both the lawful and evil factions are on the list."

These people are now in high positions, either becoming Demigods or peak Overlords.

"JoJo and I don't have the authority to investigate them. Also, the official organization wasn't established until nearly twenty years after Huo Zhengkui was assassinated."

If the purpose of the Freedom Covenant was just to delay the establishment of the official organization in the Second District, then the scope of the people who assassinated Huo Zhengkui would be larger. The Overlord-level experts in the First District are also targets of investigation.

"It's indeed an unsolved case. It's too difficult to find out the truth after so many years," Zhang Yuanqing didn't insist, but asked, "How are you and JoJo getting along?"

Gou Elder said, "I'm getting along with her okay, but she's not very gentle." Gou Elder sighed again, "Didn't you see the news? She's become an internet celebrity."

"What's going on? An internet celebrity?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

"She tamed the dogs in the pet shop. During the day, she patrols the zoo and lets the big dog sleep in her canopy bed, followed by a group of dogs. Sometimes they go into the lion cage, sometimes into the tiger park, and sometimes patrol the monkey park. They don't avoid tourists, so people take pictures and post them online." Gou Elder's tone was helpless.

"Luckily, she has a sense of propriety and doesn't scold the tourists with her paws, otherwise the zoo would be in chaos. But even so, it has attracted great attention from the outside world. The park explained that this tabby cat was infected with a virus and gained the ability to make all beasts submit."

"So she became an internet celebrity. Every day, many tourists come to the zoo to see her. As long as she sits on the canopy bed and is carried out by the dog, the tourists will scream."

Zhang Yuanqing imagined the scene and couldn't help but complain in his heart: An animal version of a courtesan parading through the streets?

He laughed and said, "She's been alone in Pan's Labyrinth for decades. Let her play as she pleases. Maybe the world will end tomorrow. It's okay if the existence of The Way of the Extraordinary participants is exposed. There's no need to hide it. All the rules are no longer suitable now."

"It doesn't matter whether the government understands or not." Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone in a hurry and picked up the cheap glass in the reception area.

This was Fu Qingyang's glass for drinking. He took out a tissue and wiped the rim of the glass, then summoned the Red Dancing Shoes and stuffed the tissue into the shoes.

Qian Gongzi's bedroom and bathroom were cleaned every day, and even hair and dander were cleaned very clean.

Only the things in the study were cleaned at night, and Qian Gongzi loved to drink, so the wine glass was the best way to obtain his DNA.

Da da da, the Red Dancing Shoes strode out, ran through the window, and ran wildly outside the villa. Zhang Yuanqing was not in a hurry to follow. Gao Feng Elder must have disappeared in Hangzhou or Jiangsu Province. At the speed of the Red Dancing Shoes, it would take at least an hour to get from Songhai to Jiangsu.

But for him, a quarter of an hour from Songhai to Jiangsu Province was enough. Taking advantage of the sufficient time, Zhang Yuanqing edited the list of Saints who entered Pan's Labyrinth into a message and sent it to his uncle.

He also wrote down the profession of each Saint and analyzed what kind of props they might need based on their combat habits and professional shortcomings.

Half an hour had passed since this information was sent, Zhang Yuanqing didn't wait for his uncle to reply. He turned off his phone and stuffed it into his pocket, then turned into starlight and dissipated, following the connection between the prop and its master.

In less than ten minutes, he caught up with the Red Dancing Shoes and followed with Wind Manipulation. After another ten minutes or so, they arrived at an industrial park in the suburbs of Hangzhou.

The Red Dancing Shoes were spinning in circles in the industrial park like a headless fly. It was in this area, but the Red Dancing Shoes couldn't get in!

If it were a barrier, it would have already broken through based on its characteristics. This showed that Boss was not in a barrier!

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes rippled with transparency as he looked down at the industrial park. He didn't find any illusions.

"In a dream?" He immediately denied his guess. Fu Qingyang wasn't a Dream Weaver and didn't have the ability to enter dreams.

If he was pulled into a dream, his physical body should have remained in reality. But the Red Dancing Shoes didn't find it. His body wasn't in a dream or a barrier? What else could it be?

"Red hasn't found Boss's body, which means he's not in reality. If he's not in reality, then he must be in a dream! But it's impossible for Boss to enter a dream unless this dream is special?" Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing activated the Dream Jump skill, and a small number of dreams appeared in his eyes. Each dream was bizarre: nightmares, erotic dreams, and sweet dreams were all there.

And the entire industrial park under him lost its color at this moment and became a "black and white photo." The buildings, streets, and greenery were twisted and turned into collapsing ruins.

On the ruins, Fu Qingyang was holding the Golden Dragon Sword and wearing the Swordsman's cloak, looking valiant and heroic. Ten meters behind him was a tattered blanket covering Gao Feng Elder, who was covered in blood and unconscious. There was also Tian Huo Elder and a beautiful woman who should be Gan Lu Elder of the Hangzhou branch.

Opposite Fu Qingyang were four people: two were wearing the black robes exclusive to the Southern Faction and were floating in the air. The other two were standing in front of a magic table.

Candles were burning on the table, along with straw dolls, copper coins, wooden swords, silver needles, talismans, and porcelain bowls and bottles containing various materials.

Another person had a ferocious appearance with deer horns on his head, a face covered in blue scales, vertical pupils, and a fierce expression. He had two wings on his back and was covered in armor-like keratin claws. His bird feet and black goat tail had a thick, flexible tailbone that extended into a sharp, dark poison needle at the end.

The grotesque Gu man stood on top of a forty-meter-long black scaled giant snake. The collapsed ruins were filled with poisonous snakes and Gu worms, making rustling sounds and surrounding Fu Qingyang in the swarm of Gu.

The two sides seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle. Both were panting slightly, and there were bloodstains on the ruins, along with the corpses of Gu worms and strange beasts.

Broken puppet soldiers were everywhere.

"He's really in a dream?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

This scene could only be seen after he activated Dream Jump. It was invisible to the naked eye.

In other words, Fu Qingyang was indeed in a dream. Zhang Yuanqing examined the evil faction's Overlords and, based on their data, recognized the Gu man with deer horns. His The Way of the Extraordinary ID was Snake Raiser, an elder of the Southern District Branch of the Spiritual Power Society, and an Level 8 filth spirit.

Another filth spirit had the The Way of the Extraordinary ID Iron Diviner Feng, Level 7. As for the other two cloak-wearing void walkers, their faces were unclear, and they couldn't be identified.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuanqing immediately jumped into the dream. However, a powerful barrier blocked him, and the Dream Jump failed.

He had encountered a restriction similar to a barrier. Although he saw this dream, he couldn't enter.

Zhang Yuanqing understood. The place where Fu Qingyang was was a domain that combined a dream and a barrier. Its essence was a kind of barrier, but based on a dream.

It needed to rely on the Dream Weaver to open it. This explained why the Red Dancing Shoes couldn't even kick this domain. Only a Dream Weaver could see it.

And to enter a forbidden boundary, one must be a Level Void Walker. The conditions were very strict, Zhang Yuanqing guessed.

The power that formed this domain should be a high-quality item from the Southern Faction. A legitimate Void Walker didn't have the ability to weave such a domain.

But the function of the item was strange and unpredictable. Tian Huo Elder seemed to be seriously injured, so he hid in the Coward's Blanket. Gan Lu and Gao Feng Elders seemed to be fine, but the Coward's Blanket could only be lifted after four hours of its use.

"Boss still has the Seven Star Lamp Formation and the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. He hasn't used any of his trump cards and should be waiting for me." Zhang Yuanqing noticed that there was a large patch of blood on Fu Qingyang's chest.

He quickly took out the Yata Mirror and summoned an avatar, then took out the Thor Set and had the avatar wear it. The avatar activated the set's skills, with lightning wrapped around his body, like a fallen Thor descending to earth.

His palm was pressed against the ground, and a Railgun was quickly condensed. "What a terrifying junior."

The filth spirit standing on the snake's head said with emotion, "He was promoted to Overlord last June. In half a year, he can be compared to us. The three major organizations consider Yuan Shi Tian Zun a thorn in their side and a pain in their flesh. But it seems to me that you, Fu Qingyang, are the real threat to the Free Faction."

Upgrading from Extraordinary to Saint, no matter how fast it is, it doesn't matter. But upgrading one level every half a year after entering the Overlord realm is terrifying.

How many Overlords need 5-10 years to go from Level 7 to Level 8? Among them, those with high talent can upgrade faster through gang dungeons.

But going from Level 7 to Level 8 in half a year, only the Demon King and the Marshal have done it since The Way of the Extraordinary began.

"Stop talking nonsense." Fu Qingyang said coldly, "The break time is over. If you don't attack, then I will." The cloak behind him suddenly lifted.

The filth spirit with deer horns laughed wildly, "Are you in such a hurry to die? Also, with two Void Walkers assisting, the longer you delay, the easier it is for the mood pig to lose control. Do you want to desperately kill us before you die?"

Even a genius like Fu Qingyang couldn't defeat four evil professional Overlords. In front of Void Walkers, even the strongest sword energy is just a paper tiger.

The filth spirit's curse weakens the blessing, and the filth is a spell that swordsmen can't resist.

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "Desperately kill you? I'm just using you to hone my swordsmanship. You should be the ones to fight quickly. The longer you drag it out, the more dangerous you will be."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling bright blue beam of light pierced through the restriction, and lightning raged across the area.

Fu Qingyang grinned, "Danger is coming."
