Chapter 139 Settlement and Return

“Won? Won! Yuan Shi killed Li Xianzong, we won!”

Listening to the prompt in her ear, the Queen abruptly stood up, her bright face blossoming with wild joy. Excited, she rose quickly and forcefully, her full breasts quivering like jelly.

Li Chunfeng clenched his fist, waving it several times in exhilaration, then cursed "艹" to vent the emotions bottled up inside, before saying, "This is the most dangerous instance I've ever encountered. To be able to turn the tables in such a desperate situation, I couldn't do it. No wonder he's a genius who cleared two S-level instances, no wonder he's Yuan Shi Tianzun..."

"Too amazing!" Lili Yuanshangcao's face was filled with joy, suppressing her melancholy, as she said, "The teammates I've encountered before are so obviously inferior to him." Yin Yang Town was the most difficult instance she had experienced, completely different from previous ones, and her teammates were completely different as well.

The calm and intelligent Li Chunfeng, the skilled sharpshooter Guan Ya, the capable Queen, and Huo De Xingjun—the quality of these teammates far exceeded the Spirit Realm Walkers she had encountered before. Not to mention Yuan Shi, a star-level figure. The enemies on the evil side were equally terrifying.

"These guys are all true high-level players, high-level players in the extraordinary stage."

"Survived, that's great! Li Xianzong was killed by him in the instance. When we return to reality, I don't know how many people will be shocked. Seriously, he always creates such big news. My bounty ranking is going to increase again." Guan Ya leaned back, relieved, against the wall, a hint of unconscious smile on the corner of her lips.

Skinny Eat Lotus Root felt like he was dreaming. They actually won like this? Such a difficult instance, and they actually cleared it?

The honest and sincere Skinny Eat Lotus Root felt somewhat ashamed, feeling like he hadn't done anything, even enjoying himself with Widow Xu. He didn't deserve to clear the instance. At this moment, the Queen's breathing suddenly became rapid: "Good, such generous rewards, ah~ I'm going to love Yuan Shi Tianzun to death."

Hearing this, everyone quickly focused their attention, checking the mission rewards. Guan Ya glanced at the woman.

[Reward Settlement: Item/Prop Obtained: Guild Token] [Experience Reward: 28%] [Main Quest Completed: Ding, Congratulations on Completing Hidden Quest. Reward Being Settled] [Item/Prop Obtained: Yin Yang Robe] [Experience Reward: 3%] [Hidden Quest Settlement Completed: Ding, Congratulations on Advancing to Level 3 Night Wanderer...] [Ding! Character Card Reward Activated, Reward Item: Lasting Spray.] [Settlement Completed! Exit Spirit Realm in Ten Minutes]

"The Guild Token really came out. I can form my own small team in the future." Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.

The probability of obtaining a Guild Token reward was low, requiring a certain amount of hidden points to trigger. Obviously, the fierce battles between the two teams, the constant reversals of the situation, and his command and turnaround were recognized by the instance.

The Demon Lord's character card reward arrived as scheduled, still an item, but the name seemed a bit off. Zhang Yuanqing didn't have time to check the item. A scorching sensation appeared between his eyebrows, and the black crescent moon mark became prominent.

A powerful Yin energy was released from the mark, rushing into his body with an almost unreasonable force, bringing the pain and heat of modifying genes and reorganizing life. He involuntarily twitched, instinctively looking down, and was startled to see his body standing still.

"Soul projection again?"

The last time he had soul projection was when he had just cleared the Xinling Tunnel and become a Level 1 Night Wanderer.

About three minutes later, the spiritual body returned to his body. The violent and tyrannical Yin energy subsided. Zhang Yuanqing sensed the changes in his body while opening the attribute panel: [Name: Yuan Shi Tianzun] [Race: Human] [Class: Night Wanderer] [Level: 3] [Skills: Night Travel, Spirit Devour, Yin Spirit, Howl at the Moon, Charm, Spirit Inscription, Spirit Projection] [Experience: 8%] [Morality: 140] [Reputation: 40] [Spirit (Active): A unique spirit inscription belonging to Night Wanderers, can be used to draw talismans and formations. Note: Completed, can draw and refine Yin Corpse Formation.] [Spirit Projection: The primordial spirit leaves the body, duration is twenty minutes.]

"Night Wanderers really have the ability to separate the soul from the body, after all, they are good at this field, but I didn't expect to learn it at level 3. I finally learned all the skills of Night Wanderer..."

After finishing his exclamation, Zhang Yuanqing was about to check the item when he suddenly heard a "pat" sound. The red dancing shoes with a dull color, staggered and walked over, sometimes east, sometimes west, like a drunken man, not very smart.

"Even like this, it still wants me to dance?" Taking advantage of the curse effect not dissipating, Zhang Yuanqing used the bug and put it back into the item bar. Then, he put the Eye of the Seer and other items back into the item bar one by one.

Finally, he could check the newly acquired item without distraction. [Name: Guild Token (Inactive)] [Type: Token] [Function: Establish Guild (Upgradeable)] [Introduction: Level 1 Guild Token, can establish a team of six, can create unique team instances; can obtain extra experience rewards (guild leader reward is twice that of ordinary members); can invite same-level members to participate in instances; can open guild warehouse] [Note 1: Guild exclusive instance, can be opened when the number of members reaches six.] [Note 2: Guild Warehouse (Not Opened)] [Note 3: Guild Token ignores factions, can bring opposing faction into the team.] [Note 4: Guild members cannot betray each other, cannot kill each other.]

"Damn, this thing is much more valuable than items. People with ability and ambition, as long as they get a Guild Token, will definitely become a powerful figure in the future, like me. I want to use it to build my own small team, preferably a team independent of the official organization, mainly with wild Spirit Realm Walkers, which will help to expand channels, the network does not overlap, so people from the Five Elements Alliance are excluded." Zhang Yuanqing summoned the Guild Token, which was a triangular token cast in bronze, with the words "Guild" engraved on the front.

After holding the Guild Token, a blue interface automatically popped up. Zhang Yuanqing used his finger as a pen on the interface, inputting the name he temporarily came up with: [Wen Cult] [Ding! The name has been taken, please rename.] When everyone approached, Zhang Yuanqing swept across the joyful faces of the crowd and smiled: "It seems you all have good gains." "Thanks to you!" Li Chunfeng's smile couldn't be stopped: "My experience value has reached 9%, maybe I can participate in the mid-year Slaughter Instance and hit the Saint stage. Also, I got a decent item that makes up for my lack of output." The Queen smiled charmingly: "I also got an item, and my experience value has reached 87%. Even at level 3, I'm in the upper-middle level. I also want to participate in the mid-year Slaughter Instance. By the way, Yuan Shi, you should be almost level 3, right?"

Guan Ya immediately looked over.

"I'm already level 3, I can participate in the mid-year Slaughter Instance, Guan Ya, what about you?" Zhang Yuanqing smiled. "...I'm also level 3." Guan Ya's expression was dull.

What is this guy doing, three consecutive levels in three instances? What kind of perverted leveling speed is this.

Ordinary Spirit Realm Walkers have to go through three or four instances, or even more, to level up once.

This kind of leveling speed is comparable to that little witch in the family.

"You seem to have only become a Spirit Realm Walker for more than a month, right? This should be your third or fourth instance?" The Queen's small mouth was slightly open.

After the group exchanged contact information, the countdown ended, and the scenery instantly twisted.

The picture went from blurry to clear, and Zhang Yuanqing saw his familiar bedroom and messy bed. The electronic alarm clock on the bedside table showed the time:

The weather in May was already bright. Outside the window was the clear and melodious chirping of birds, and the faint voices of the early morning grandmas and grandpas in the neighborhood. Peaceful and tranquil.

Zhang Yuanqing stood by the window, breathing in the cool and humid morning air. Every time he returned from the Spirit Realm, he had a feeling of being in another world. "It's dawn, so tired, so sleepy."

Zhang Yuanqing's eyelids were heavy, every cell in his body let out a lazy sigh, wishing he could fall asleep immediately and restore his strength and energy. He returned to his desk, tore off a page of paper, and wrote:

"No class today, stayed up late playing games, no breakfast, don't disturb."

He taped the paper to the door, closed the door, sent a message to Li Dongze to inform him that he had come out of the instance, and fell asleep. The next day, near a police station, in a high-end residential area, Li Dongze woke up on time at the call of the alarm clock.

His first reaction was to pick up his phone and check for missed calls or messages. Sure enough!

Two unread messages, one from Yuan Shi Tianzun, and one from Guan Ya.

He first opened the message sent by Yuan Shi Tianzun at 5:30 in the morning: "Squad leader, I'm out of the instance, a little tired, going to rest first."

"Finally came out! Sigh, really, every time he enters an instance, it makes people worry, even more nerve-wracking than when I enter an instance myself." Li Dongze sighed, and the heart he was holding finally relaxed. Compared with the previous two instances, this time in Yin Yang Town, his mentality was slightly more stable.

Sure enough, Yuan Shi did not disappoint him. Li Dongze habitually analyzed:

"Yuan Shi's tone is very calm. Guan Ya is also out. This instance took about five hours, a standard duration. The difficulty of Yin Yang Town is in the upper-middle range of A-level instances, mainly due to faction confrontation. Yuan Shi and Guan Ya are both level 2, so the opponents they encountered should not be particularly strong."

While thinking, he exited Yuan Shi Tianzun's chat interface and checked Guan Ya's message. Her message was sent a few minutes ago.

"Squad leader, Yuan Shi and I are out. The enemy we encountered in the instance was Li Xianzong. I suffered minor injuries and am a little tired, going to rest first." When he saw that the enemy was Li Xianzong, Li Dongze instinctively felt a chill. The thought that flashed through his mind subconsciously was: "Oh no, Yuan Shi and Guan Ya are doomed!"

Then he realized that this must have happened after the fact, and they had come out of the instance, which meant that the loser was Li Xianzong. "What's going on?" Li Dongze stared at the phone screen, dumbfounded.

What kind of teammates did they encounter in the instance? They actually killed Li Xianzong. There are only a handful of strong players in the extraordinary stage. Were they those from the Taiyi Sect, or the officials, or hidden masters in the folk?

What's the point of sleeping at this time, get up and write a report!!

Li Dongze completely lost his sleepiness, his desire for their report was as itchy as a hundred claws scratching his heart. On the other side, at the Fu Family Bay villa.

In front of a spacious solid wood dining table, Fu Qingyang and Ling Jun were enjoying breakfast under the service of bunny girls. A bunny girl walked in from outside the dining room, holding an old-fashioned mobile phone in her hand, and said:

"Young Master, Miss Guan Ya's call."

"Oh, they're out." Ling Jun smiled and took a sip of milk.

He wasn't too worried about Guan Ya and Yuan Shi. One was a fighting freak, and the other was quick-witted and had many props. An instance like Yin Yang Town was likely not a challenge for them. Fu Qingyang's expression relaxed slightly, he put down his knife and fork, and took the phone.

"Came out?" He said in a calm tone, as if this was a trivial matter.

Guan Ya "ummed" and said, "I wrote a report. You can take a look and decide whether to submit it to the database. I'm tired, don't call me if there's anything or not." She believed that the content of this report was not suitable to be directly handed over to Li Dongze.

"Okay!"

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly, hung up the phone and handed the phone back to the bunny girl, and ordered: "Bring my computer here."

Ling Jun put down his knife and fork, put away his casual posture, and said: "What does Guan Ya mean?" Fu Qingyang said lightly: "You'll know after reading the report."
