Although the Demon Lord was a man of evil intentions, cruel, ruthless, lecherous, it was undeniable that he possessed extraordinary talent. From his rise to fame, he became the number one public enemy of the Taiyi Sect in just a few years.

Even the lofty Sect Leader gave the Night Wanderer profession the evaluation of "the most talented in fifty years."

The last one to receive this praise was the Female Marshal, and even Fu Qingyang, so far, has not received any praise from the Taiyi Sect Leader.

Therefore, when they heard Yin Ji mention how much the Demon Lord feared and dreaded the "Mute Village," the elders of the Five Elements Alliance felt a sudden weight in their hearts.

Yuan Shi Tianzun was their "treasure," a key figure they were cultivating.

The Zhu family head's sister coveted Yuan Shi Tianzun, and even though she didn't cause any substantial harm, and even with the protection of the Fujian branch, the Five Elements Alliance blacklisted her without hesitation.

If Yuan Shi Tianzun were harmed, Zhu Rong would definitely not have a good end, although she wasn't having a good time now either – her face had been peeled off by a lunatic.

Seeing the Five Elements Alliance elders looking over, and seeing the Dog Elder looking anxious, Yin Ji recalled:

"He didn't go into that much detail, he only said that he initially focused on the wrong thing and almost died in the instance. He survived entirely by luck."

When she and the Demon Lord were in a relationship, they were already in the Saint Realm. The affairs of the Mute Village were just casual conversation after tea and dinner, a brief mention of past events.

The Demon Lord didn't go into too much detail, and she wasn't interested in instances at the Extraordinary stage, so she didn't delve deeper… Focused on the wrong thing… Fu Qingyang repeated silently. He didn't know the Mute Village mission or the instance description, so he couldn't make a judgment.

But one thing was certain, this instance hid a trick. Only by seeing through the trick could one survive, otherwise, it was a dead end.

Even the Demon Lord hadn't seen through the trick, which showed how dangerous it was. Could Yuan Shi successfully clear it?

With this interlude, the expressions of the Five Elements Alliance elders became serious, and they seemed absent-minded while watching the competition.

The most worried among them was the Dog Elder, because Yuan Shi Tianzun was a direct subordinate of his direct subordinate. In the future, when Yuan Shi Tianzun advanced to the Saint Realm, he would be an Executive directly under the Dog Elder's command.

In simpler terms: his team!

The Taiyi Sect Night Wanderers discussed in low voices:

"It sounds like an A-level instance with extremely high difficulty."

"A-level instances are second only to S-level. Which A-level isn't dangerous and difficult? However, the fact that even the Demon Lord almost died in it is interesting. It would be even more interesting if Yuan Shi Tianzun were to fall in the instance. There will be big news tomorrow."

"Don't be so short-sighted. If Yuan Shi Tianzun can't survive, can we survive? What will happen if we encounter this instance in the future? Even if we don't encounter it, what about our fellow disciples in the future? I'd rather Yuan Shi Tianzun can come out alive and enrich our Taiyi Sect's database. Alas, it's going to cost a lot. Sun Elder is confused. If he had recruited Yuan Shi Tianzun earlier, the top three in the擂台賽 would definitely be ours."

"Speaking of which, where's Yuan Ting?"

"It is said that he was thrown into training camp again by Sun Elder, this time it's a devil-level training." "How pitiful…."

The news quickly spread in the audience, and with the Taiyi Sect adding fuel to the fire, everyone knew that Yuan Shi Tianzun had entered a hell-mode instance again.

"What, the Taiyi Sect said the instance Yuan Shi Tianzun entered is even harder than S-level?" "What, the Demon Lord almost died in it. Is it a must-die instance?"

"What, the Demon Lord said it's a must-die instance?"

"What, the Demon Lord and the Taiyi Sect said it's a must-die instance?"

Mute Village.

Zhang Yuanqing stood outside the courtyard gate, holding the old man's wrist to prevent him from escaping, and manipulated the Yin corpse to respond, "If you don't mind, then I'll come in."

As soon as he spoke, the old man suddenly struggled violently, his wrinkled face showing horror, shaking his head vigorously.

The old man seems very afraid of Wang Xiaoer. He doesn't want me to go in? Zhang Yuanqing noticed this phenomenon and his heart stirred. He silently activated the "Spirit Devour" skill, and viscous black matter surged from his eyes, filling his eye sockets.

Suddenly, the stone house in front of him "ignited" wisps of yin energy like thick smoke.

It was as if this wasn't a house, but a tomb where a thousand-year-old corpse was sleeping. Wang Xiaoer's yin energy is so exaggerated? Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank. At this moment, Wang Xiaoer's hoarse voice came from inside the house:

"Come in, why aren't you coming in? I'm so tired, I can't talk from this far away.…" The old man struggled even more violently, making "ah ah" sounds, his face horrified, as if trying to dissuade the young man from entering the house.

Zhang Yuanqing manipulated the Yin corpse, walking step by step towards the stone house, crossing the small courtyard, and arriving at the two black, half-rotten wooden doors.

The door wasn't locked, and it was also half-open. Inside the door seam was a dense, lightless darkness.

Undead No. 1 didn't have the vision to see through the darkness, so Zhang Yuanqing couldn't see the scene inside through the Yin corpse's vision.

If I didn't have a Yin corpse, the best way to deal with this would be to take out the burst pistol, stand my ground and output, and smash these two doors.… Zhang Yuanqing controlled Undead No. 1 to raise his hand and gently push open the wooden door.

A faint light shone into the stone house. Behind the threshold was an outer hall, with a square table in the center, on which was a dark, shapeless mass.

Zhang Yuanqing controlled Undead No. 1, crossed the threshold, and entered the house.

He could see more clearly now. He saw thin hemp ropes hanging from the roof beam, each rope tied with a tongue, like hanging cured meat. And at this moment, the dark, shapeless mass on the table turned around.

It turned out to be a disheveled human head, its hair covered in dirt. It turned its face around, its eyes wide open, filled with lifelessness and covered with blood vessels. Black, viscous blood flowed from its mouth, and it mumbled in a voice thick with phlegm in its throat:

"You've come, I'm so hungry.…"

As soon as the words fell, the two decayed doors slammed shut. At the same time, Zhang Yuanqing lost control of the Yin corpse.

His will was forcibly "driven" back to his body. "Ah ah ah~" Seeing this scene, the old man was pale with fright, screaming hoarsely. From the windows of the nearby rammed earth and stone houses, pairs of cold eyes appeared, staring at this side.

What a nuisance! Zhang Yuanqing swung his hand like a knife, knocking the old man unconscious, while leaving Little Silly to guard him and watch out for the surroundings.

He strode into the courtyard and summoned the Thug Gloves from his inventory.

噔噔噔… Zhang Yuanqing ran wildly to the closed wooden door, clenched his fists and slammed them together.

It was like a high-explosive grenade exploded, the shock wave blew away the wooden door, turning it into pieces of charred debris.

The tongues hanging in the house swayed violently in the shock wave. The swelling flames dispelled the darkness, illuminating the scene in the hall.

Undead No. 1 was lying on the ground, and a head with disheveled hair covered in grease, dirt, and blood was gnawing on Undead No. 1's head.

"Crunch, crunch…"

The sound of the skull being bitten through made one's scalp tingle.

Half of Undead No. 1's head was already gone, flowing with red and white matter. What good teeth… Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched, while regaining control of Undead No. 1, he took out the burst pistol and Clairvoyant Glasses, aimed at the head, and pulled the trigger.

The burst pistol and Clairvoyant Glasses are matching equipment.

Without the latter, with Zhang Yuanqing's marksmanship, he would most likely hit his own Yin corpse's skull with the bullet, no, in the brain matter.… Bang bang!

The bullet accurately hit the hideous and ugly head. The attached burst effect generated a huge force, making the head roll out like a ball.

"It hurts, it hurts……"

The head let out a shrill cry, wailing, "My body, my body……"

Accompanied by the cries, there was a "clang" sound from the inner room, like the sound of a wooden board falling to the ground.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately turned the gun muzzle and aimed at the inner room door covered with black cloth. A figure walked out with stiff, monotonous steps.

It was wearing coarse linen clothes, its arms hanging down, its nails black and sharp, and its neck was empty, without a head.

The body walked to the head, stretched out its hands covered with black fingernails, picked up the head, and pressed it on its neck.

The flesh between the neck moved quickly, intertwined, and the "kaka" sound of bone joining came from the flesh.

Wang Xiaoer's eyeballs moved irregularly in their sockets, sometimes upwards, sometimes downwards, sometimes disappearing, as if his eyeballs could rotate 360 degrees.

"Glug, glug……"

Wang Xiaoer's eyeballs rolled upwards, disappeared into their sockets. The next second, the eyeballs "glugged" down and stared straight at Zhang Yuanqing.

"So hungry, so hungry, I want to eat you.…"

He screamed shrilly, like a beast that had lost its mind, pouncing over. Wang Xiaoer has turned into a Yin corpse… Zhang Yuanqing raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

A burst of flames erupted on Wang Xiaoer's chest, but it didn't stop him at all.

This Yin corpse actually withstood the burst pistol's bullets with its "flesh and blood."

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing put away his pistol and summoned the Bloodthirsty Blade, while manipulating Undead No. 1 to meet the enemy.

"Bang!"

Undead No. 1 was slammed away, smashing the square table, rolling to the side of the wall, and the wall made a loud noise, with dust falling down.

Wang Xiaoer staggered, quickly regained his footing, and continued to pounce towards Zhang Yuanqing, muttering unconsciously, "So hungry, so hungry, your flesh tastes better.……"

Copper skin and iron bones? What quality of Yin corpse is this… Zhang Yuanqing's pupils constricted, and he decisively used Night Wander.

Wang Xiaoer lost his target, looking around blankly.

Ye◇ Zhang Yuanqing appeared silently behind him, the Bloodthirsty Blade slashing towards the back of Wang Xiaoer's neck.

This weapon, which had been with him for a long time, was still competitive, deeply embedded in the flesh and blood, stuck in the neck bone. Wang Xiaoer turned around violently, his arm sweeping back, the sound of the air whistling.

Zhang Yuanqing decisively abandoned the Bloodthirsty Blade, crouched down to avoid Wang Xiaoer's sweep, and snapped his fingers.

Undead No. 1 in the corner received its master's command, took heavy steps, and crashed into Wang Xiaoer like an armored tank, and a layer of hazy light covered its body surface.

The accumulated defensive light curtain was activated.

Bang◇ The two Yin corpses collided, like heavy iron balls colliding. The feet of the two corpses sank, and black clods of earth splashed on the rammed earth.

Zhang Yuanqing took out a black mask painted with a white skull from the inventory, held it in his hand, and then his body suddenly stiffened.

Spiritual body Divine Wander left the body.

A shadow that seemed real but was illusionary floated out and crashed into Wang Xiaoer's body.

Wang Xiaoer's body suddenly stiffened, and then trembled, like an epileptic patient. This was Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual body possession, fighting for the dominance of Wang Xiaoer's body.

While the two sides were in a stalemate, Undead No. 1, who had received its master's command, turned around, walked to Zhang Yuanqing's body, took the Silent Mask, and put it on Wang Xiaoer's face.

All movement disappeared.

Wang Xiaoer stopped struggling, standing still. Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual body floated out and returned to his body.

"Unable to devour the spiritual body…"

Zhang Yuanqing walked to Wang Xiaoer's side and frowned.

The Night Wanderer in the Divine Wander state could still use the "Spirit Devour" skill, which was the most effective method for dealing with Yin corpses, but Night Wanderers would not use it in combat.

Because once you Divine Wander, you're done.

The body becomes a lamb to be slaughtered, and the spiritual body will also be suppressed by enemies who are also Night Wanderers.

The current sub-chapter has not been completed, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Just now when he possessed Wang Xiaoer, he tried to devour Wang Xiaoer's spiritual body, but failed.

This situation was the same as the shoulder-riding Wraith in the Three Paths Mountain Goddess Temple, which could not be devoured. The level 1 Night Wanderer wrote in the guide that the shoulder-riding Wraith could not be devoured. This was the spirit realm's protection mechanism.

Some more important "NPCs" could not be erased, while in Yin Yang Town, Wang Widow's children could be devoured at will. Those little wraiths were not irreplaceable spiritual bodies.

"Logically speaking, the characters in the instance will be refreshed. Since they can be refreshed, why can't they be devoured? That's a bit strange……"

《Ji Ling Chaotic Decision》

Zhang Yuanqing did not dwell on the spirit realm mechanism, and immediately used the Bloodthirsty Blade to dismember Wang Xiaoer's body and smash his head.

This Yin corpse was completely still.

Then, he instructed Undead No. 1 to go to the inner room to find a porcelain bowl and fill it with two large bowls of Yin corpse body fluid (corpse oil and blood). These were all very good Yin-attribute materials.

He put the porcelain bowls filled with Yin corpse body fluid into the inventory.

The inventory could accommodate some small objects from the spirit realm, but large objects could not be stored.

"I remember that the spirit realm introduction mentioned that Wang Xiaoer brought out burial objects from the tomb. His burial objects must still be there."

In addition to the coffin, bed, and a few wooden cabinets, there was no extra furniture in the inner room. Zhang Yuanqing went into the inner room and rummaged through the cabinets, but found nothing.

It shouldn't be like this, where are the burial objects?

There were no clues, which was unreasonable. According to his experience, Wang Xiaoer, as one of the important characters in the instance, would definitely leave clues here. It was unreasonable for Spirit Realm Ingressors to fight to the death, finally resolving the danger, but gaining nothing.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a few seconds, stepped back into the outer hall, and walked purposefully towards the tongues hanging on the roof beam.

"Poof!"

He raised the Bloodthirsty Blade and cut off one of the hemp ropes, catching the falling tongue. A few seconds later, the item information appeared:

【Name: Tongue】

【Type: Oral Soft Tissue】
【Function: Speaking】

【Introduction: A tongue cut from the mouth of a villager. If you get it, please return it to the villagers.】
【Note: Anyway, you can't tell whose tongue it is, so do whatever you want. Be happy.】

"The tongue is the clue. Return the tongues to the villagers, and then get information from them?"

After reading the notes, Zhang Yuanqing knew the correct use of the tongue.

He immediately walked out of the stone house, crossed the small courtyard, came to the side of the unconscious old man, and put the tongue into the other person's mouth.

The next second, the tongue was miraculously reconnected, as good as new, as if it had never been cut off.

"Slap!"

Zhang Yuanqing slapped the old man awake.

The old man opened his eyes, jumped up in horror, and cursed:

"Bastard, you bastard…… Huh, I can talk?!"

The old man's face was full of joy. He cursed a few more times to confirm that he had really regained his ability to speak.

"Grandpa, I have something to ask you," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"You bastard, ask, ask you……" Seeing the young man raise a shiny knife, the old man changed his words:

"Young man, you are so awesome, with such great martial arts, you killed Wang Xiaoer for us. You want to know anything, Grandpa will tell you everything."
