Chapter 165 Burning
"Damn it, why is he at Songhai University?"
Zhang Yuanqing's heart rate inevitably quickened, and adrenaline surged, as if he had encountered a tiger in the deep mountains. He froze in place, his mind racing.
Is it a coincidence that the Devil's Eye appeared at Songhai University?
If not, then he must be here for me. My age is a factor, a local from Songhai in his early twenties, the possibility of attending university is high. I killed Ou Xiangrong at Songhai University. Although the matter wasn't widely publicized, many official members of the Songhai branch know about it. With the Devil's Eye Heavenly King's status and ability, it wouldn't be difficult to find out this information.
I remember the Devil's Eye Heavenly King has the ability to "identify" The Way of the Extraordinary, he used a similar method to discover Kou Beiyue.
The Devil's Eye Heavenly King probably already searched Songhai University many times without my knowledge. Fortunately, I haven't been to school much these past few days, inadvertently avoiding a disaster. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.
"Calm down, calm down, Devil's Eye doesn't know me. Fu Qingyang analyzed that his method of identifying The Way of the Extraordinary is a kind of skill, which needs to be actively used, not a passive skill that exists all the time. Pretend to be a passerby, brush past him, then slip away from the back door. I can't come to school anymore."
Zhang Yuanqing took a breath, took out a mask from his pocket and put it on while the Devil's Eye was carefully sweeping the floor. While maintaining a relaxed and casual pace, he took out his phone and sent a group message to Fu Qingyang, Guan Ya, and Li Dongze:
"Help!! The Devil's Eye Heavenly King is at the gate of Songhai University!!"
His eyes were calm, and the fingers typing the message were as steady as an old dog. All the storms were hidden in his heart.
After sending the message, Zhang Yuanqing calmly put away his phone, walked straight ahead without changing his route, and walked towards the Devil's Eye Heavenly King with a sports headband. One step, two steps, three steps…
Finally, he brushed past the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, who was diligently sweeping the floor, indifferent to the students coming and going, lacking attention. Zhang Yuanqing tried his best to slow his breathing, not showing any micro-reactions like "relieved" or "burden lifted."
It wasn't until he passed through the square at the school gate and turned into a quiet path leading to the teaching building that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, that was terrible, too terrible. I can't sleep peacefully until the Devil's Eye Heavenly King is eliminated. This guy needs evidence to kill people. I believe he has already sent people to investigate me, and should know that I am a law-abiding citizen, but he still came to Songhai University to scout the area, which shows that he doesn't want to let me go."
"Evil professions are evil professions, with flexible moral bottom lines. What talk about evidence for killing people, is all just nonsense."
Zhang Yuanqing cursed in his heart as he walked quickly, intending to leave through the back door of the school.
Just then, a light voice came from behind, with a sunny smile: "Do you know me?"
Zhang Yuanqing's footsteps stopped, his body suddenly stiffened. Then, his neck turned like a rusty gear, little by little. On both sides of the path, green trees were lush, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering patches of light.
In this shattered, swaying light, the young man with the sports headband around his forehead, leaning on a broom, looked at him with a smile. "You, are you talking to me?"
Zhang Yuanqing's heart was exploding with emotions, but the more flustered he was, the more expressionless he became, a picture of calmness. The Devil's Eye Heavenly King leaned on his broom and clicked his tongue.
"Your abnormality at the school gate was too obvious. Of course, that's not your fault. For us ancient war gods, any disturbance on the battlefield is extremely clear. There were too many people at the school gate, so it wasn't convenient to act directly, so I followed you all the way here."
"Tsk tsk, how could a student at Songhai University know me? What's even more coincidental is that I've been looking for a guy named Yuanshi Tianzun recently, who is also a student at Songhai University. Could that be you?"
Without thinking, Zhang Yuanqing instinctively wanted to use Night Wanderer and escape.
But then, the Devil's Eye Heavenly King took off the sports headband from his forehead, "I'll confirm if you are The Way of the Extraordinary first."
As the sports headband slipped, a vertical eye with a red socket and light golden pupils was exposed. This eye was indifferent and ruthless, filled with evil and chaos, and rotated with a "gurgle". "Boom!"
The moment he saw the vertical eye, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts exploded, shattering into countless chaotic fragments. There was no pain, no fear, as if returning to the most primordial silence.
But in reality, his face became hideous and distorted, blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and the Lunar power in his body went out of control, destroying his physical vitality and transforming his body into a Yin corpse. "Roar!"
Suddenly, a clear and exciting dragon's roar echoed in Zhang Yuanqing's sea of consciousness.
This dragon's roar seemed to have the magic power to wash away the soul, pulling his soul back from the abyss of collapse, his thoughts reassembled, and his mind suddenly cleared. He regained consciousness. He saw the Devil's Eye Heavenly King a few meters away again, and saw that terrifying vertical eye.
It was still terrifying and chilling, but it didn't seem so scary anymore.
What was that dragon's roar just now? Zhang Yuanqing was confused and surprised. Ignoring his doubts, he quickly used Night Wanderer to become invisible and ran away. "Interesting!"
The Devil's Eye Heavenly King didn't chase, but curled the corner of his mouth: "A small Songhai University actually hides a Rain Master." "Woo woo"
A shrill wind raged, and the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds at some point, as if covered with a black veil, and the world was dim.
The wind covered this area. The green plants around the Devil's Eye Heavenly King leaned over at the same time, their trunks bent into semicircles, showing a tendency to break at any time. The students in the distance and the nearby ones were blown over, and girls with light weight were even blown up, and screams were endless.
The glass of nearby buildings shattered piece by piece.
In this doomsday-like storm, the vertical eye on the Devil's Eye Heavenly King's forehead flowed with blood and tears, completely revived, and starting from the eye socket, twisted black lines spread out, like tattoos, quickly spreading across the Devil's Eye Heavenly King's body.
"Hey, hey, hey," the Devil's Eye Heavenly King leaned on his broom, "fighting is fighting, but I will get angry if innocent people are affected." He cracked his mouth, revealing a crazy grin.
"Huff, huff, huff…"
Dragging his severely injured body, Zhang Yuanqing burst out with a limit he had never reached in his life, running out of Songhai University and continuing to run towards Fujiabao.
His speed surpassed that of speeding cars, attracting the astonished gazes of passers-by. Some people screamed and took out their phones to take pictures, but as soon as they took out their phones, he was gone. More than ten minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing, who didn't know how far he had run, stopped in a quiet park.
He collapsed on the green lawn, his chest heaving violently, gasping for oxygen, making rapid breaths. Two or three minutes later, his breathing calmed down a lot, and Zhang finally gathered a trace of energy to examine his own condition.
The greatest trauma was to the soul, as if it had been shattered and reorganized, bringing the greatest feedback to the body was a headache, a headache like a split in the temples. A headache no less than a relapse of an old illness.
Then, his internal organs were damaged, and his body temperature was extremely low, which was caused by the out-of-control and riot of Lunar power.
"Just an look almost killed me, this is the Enchanting Demon of the Ruler level. This is still because he didn't intend to kill me, otherwise I wouldn't even have room to resist, and would have directly turned to ashes." After being frightened for a moment, he recalled the dragon's roar that had saved him.
"Who helped me? Able to cast spells to interrupt the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, definitely a Ruler level. I remember Guan Ya or Fu Qingyang said that there is an Elder at Songhai University."
"The wind and the dragon's roar, I don't know which profession that Elder is, but it's definitely not a Fire Master."
At this moment, a sharp ringtone came from his pocket.
"I'll change this broken ringtone sooner or later." Zhang Yuanqing's heart instinctively stopped for a moment, took out his phone, and the caller ID showed: Fu Qingyang!
He quickly answered, and the loudspeaker conveyed Fu Family's Young Master's somewhat relieved voice:
"It seems that the elder of the Water God Palace took action in time."
The meaning of this sentence made Zhang Yuanqing's heart move: "Did the Centurion notify him?"
Fu Qingyang "Um"ed, and transferred the topic without taking credit, "Did you expose your identity?" "Yes," Zhang Yuanqing replied tiredly.
He used Night Wanderer to escape the scene, and he must have been seen by the Devil's Eye Heavenly King. A student of Songhai University, a Night Wanderer, anyone could guess it was him.
Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, "Your student information was destroyed and classified as confidential when you joined the Five Elements Alliance. It is difficult for the Devil's Eye to find out your home address through this channel, but you haven't revealed your address to your classmates, have you?"
Zhang Yuanqing recalled for a moment and shook his head: "No."
"Even if the Devil's Eye Heavenly King knows that I am a student of Songhai University, he doesn't know that I am Zhang Yuanqing, and there will be no information about Zhang Yuanqing in the school archives. As long as I don't go to school in the future, it will be difficult for the Devil's Eye to find me in a short time, but this is not a long-term solution after all. It's so annoying."
Zhang Yuanqing felt annoyed in his heart.
It was clearly Li Xianzong who wanted to kill him first, and his killing of Li Xianzong was also based on his own ability. The Devil's Eye bullied the weak and had no shame. No, the blame should actually be borne by the Palace Master of Stopping Killing.
The Devil's Eye's purpose in coming to Songhai was to kill her, and he was just a side effect. If the Palace Master of Stopping Killing hadn't attracted bees and butterflies, the Devil's Eye Heavenly King wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Songhai for a small character like him. This stinky woman...
Fu Qingyang said:
"You have already been caught by the Devil's Eye, and based on his style, I estimate that he will be able to find your home within a week. I will urge the elders to close the net as soon as possible and deal with him." "Find my home in a week?" Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart, "If the elders don't deal with him?"
"I'm afraid it's the elders who will be dealt with." Fu Qingyang pondered:
"Then you will be in danger. My plan is to find a way to shield your aura so that the Devil's Eye can't find you. If you are a Saint level Night Wanderer, you might be able to do it, but now you can only rely on props. And these props are relatively rare, and there are no stocks in the Songhai branch. I will apply to headquarters to borrow similar props for you, if headquarters has them."
"The Devil's Eye's carpet-like search will find Yuanshi sooner or later. If he can shield the Devil's Eye's methods, he might be able to escape a disaster."
"There are a lot of application procedures, and it will take several days just to wait for a reply. By the time the props arrive, the Devil's Eye might have already found my home. And what if headquarters doesn't have any?" Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain. "Thank you, Centurion."
After thanking him, the two ended the call, and Zhang Yuanqing immediately sent messages to Guan Ya and Li Dongze to report that he was safe. He looked around, saw that no one was nearby, and quietly took out the Demon Subduing Pestle and gently stabbed it on his thigh.
The dazzling golden light burst out, detoxifying his body.
Two faint golden glows flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, and under the power of purification, his mind became particularly clear. He suddenly thought of someone. Bill Tarantino.
This Void professional foreign practitioner came to Songhai to do trade, and must have a large stock on hand.
Ling Jun said that the Merchants Guild's inventory is the most abundant in the world's major The Way of the Extraordinary organizations. He can ask Fu Qingyang to buy props that can shield his aura, but in this way, the Centurion will be at a disadvantage in the following negotiations. And if the branch buys it, the props belong to the organization, and I can only borrow them at most.
"A prop that can shield my aura is worth buying, and I won't lose money if I buy it. If I don't need it in the future, I can sell it to the Songhai branch. Or I should go to Mr. Bill myself. Although this will let Mr. Bill know that I am The Way of the Extraordinary."
But Zhang Yuanqing felt that Mr. Bill probably already had a hunch, after all, the injuries that need blue pills to heal are mostly related to The Way of the Extraordinary.
Void and Eros are both Lawful professions. With Mr. Bill's philosophy of traveling all over the world, with his connections and status, he must have a wide range of friends. To him, I am just one of many friends.
So it's not a big problem for him to know my identity of The Way of the Extraordinary, um, but I can't reveal my Lingjing ID, after all, Yuanshi Tianzun's status in Songhai is extraordinary, and his reputation is too great. As soon as he thought of it, Zhang Yuanqing dialed Bill Tarantino's phone.
"Doo doo~"
The ringtone rang for a few seconds before it was answered, and Annie's soft voice immediately came: "Hello, who is this?"
She spoke in a foreign language.
"Who is this? Don't you have my phone number saved? You two foreigners don't value this deity at all." Zhang Yuanqing replied in a foreign language: "Ms. Annie, it's me, Chen Shu's son."
There was probably a silence of two or three seconds on the other side, and Annie finally remembered this person, with a warm smile: "What can I do for you?" "I want to buy something from Mr. Bill."
"Have you thought about it? Do you want to spend ten million to buy pills to use on the general public?" Annie said in surprise. "Are you dreaming!" Zhang Yuanqing neither denied nor admitted, and said in a deep voice:
"I want to meet Mr. Bill, right now, is that convenient?"
"Of course!" Annie agreed readily: "Do you need me to send a driver to pick you up?"
"No need."
