"Didn't you notify him?"

Fu Qingyang frowned, carefully scrutinizing his subordinate before taking out his phone.

A few seconds later, Dog Elder's gentle and mellow voice came from the speaker, with a hint of urgency: "How's Yuanshi?"

"The Fear didn't hurt him, just provoked him."

As Fu Qingyang spoke, he looked at his trusted subordinate and said, "He handled it pretty well. Dog Elder, how did you know he encountered the Fear King in the mall?" Zhang Yuanqing immediately perked up his ears.

"After the Palace Master injured the Fear, I've been manipulating animals to monitor his movements. I personally saw Yuanshi Tianzun and a young lady enter that clothing store."

Dog Elder sighed as he spoke, "Fortunately, the Fear King had no intention to kill, otherwise no one could have saved Yuanshi."

Fu Qingyang "hmm"ed and hung up the phone.

"Use the Evil-Breaking Talisman to purify yourself. The Fear King should have marked you. Try to go out less in the future. I'll find a Prop of the Illusionist class for you."

Qian Gongzi earnestly advised. For Spirit Attendants of the Fear King's level, masks and sunglasses are meaningless; only changing one's appearance will work.

Among all the classes, the Illusionist's transformations are the most flawless. Unless you have special skills or a significant level difference, you definitely won't be able to see through it.

"I have similar... Can the Evil-Breaking Talisman purify a King-level mark?"

"Markings are auxiliary skills, with a single purpose and little room for improvement. The principle is simple, so the Evil-Breaking Talisman is enough," Fu Qingyang said. Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Qingyang stared at him and asked in a deep voice:

"Who is the young lady that Dog Elder mentioned?"

His brother-in-law's gaze suddenly turned cold!

Zhang Yuanqing quickly said, "She's my aunt. I was accompanying her to the mall today."

Fu Qingyang's gaze returned to being deep and gentle.

"Boss, how are we going to deal with the Fear King?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"The Alliance Leaders will handle it. Either they'll reach a tacit understanding, or they'll put everything aside and fight to the death."

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, then continued, "Under normal circumstances, the Palace Master will pursue the Fear King three times. The Fear King will retreat and no longer enter Songhai, and the matter will be over. If the Fear acts unreasonably, then he will have crossed the line, and the Marshal and Palace Master will join forces to hunt him down. Then the Fear King is sure to die."

Warn him three times, and after three times, he's on his own? Is this the tacit understanding and bottom line of Demigods? Zhang Yuanqing nodded in realization.

So the Marshal is guarding the zoo, both to prevent the Fear King from using a feint and to wait for the three warnings? Wait, in that case, the Fear King only coerced me to save the Devil Eye because he already knew the Marshal was ambushed in the zoo.

There's a sense of powerlessness from watching the villain's schemes unfold but not being able to expose them... Alas, in front of Demigods, this Celestial Venerable is just a pawn. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Then, we don't have to worry about the Fear King sneaking into Fujiawan in the future, right?"

"Why would he sneak into Fujiawan? The Fear King has already achieved his goal, and you have no conflict of interest with him. Moreover, the Marshal will be staying in Songhai for a while," Fu Qingyang said in a calm tone.

That's good. I can go back to Fujiawan, even if I'm marked by the Fear... Zhang Yuanqing thought.

"Then, Boss, I'll go home and check on my aunt first," he said.

"Go," Fu Qingyang nodded.

Zhang Yuanqing strode away, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back, took out his phone, and scanned the cashier's QR code.

After thinking about it, he paid 100,000.

He had some idea of the prices in this store. The Fear's suit was probably worth that much.

"Boss, I'm leaving!" Zhang Yuanqing left with a dark expression.

Fu Qingyang stood in the store, watching Yuanshi's back, his expression somewhat puzzled. With his Insight skill, he truly couldn't understand this time.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't take a taxi home. He hid in a secluded alleyway and sent a message to the Fear King: "Old Master, you can't do this. You're seriously interfering with my freedom. Your behavior is unacceptable to someone who loves freedom."

He sat in the alleyway, waiting and waiting. Half

An hour later, the Fear King replied to the message: "You can choose to save the Devil Eye, or you can choose not to. I didn't force you."

[Seriously, I've been using the Yeguo Reading app to read and follow updates recently. It has source switching, multiple reading tones, and can be used on both Android and Apple.]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: But I have no choice. That's not freedom.]

[The Fear King: You can also choose to die. Life and death, choose for yourself. That is true freedom.]

In his eyes, I can choose to save the Devil Eye, or I can choose to die, so he didn't interfere with my freedom? His logic is actually self-consistent?

What the hell kind of King is this? His thought process is incomprehensible... Zhang Yuanqing bared his teeth.

If it were someone else, Zhang Yuanqing would think the person was being sophistical, but this is the Fear King, the top madman of the Soldier Holy Church. He might really think that way.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Did you mark me? I want to purify the mark now, hmm, you understand what I mean.]

Will it purify the curse?

He can't eliminate the curse, because he swore an oath.

If the curse disappears, the power of the oath will kill him, and that would be terrible.

[The Fear King: Unless a Day Wanderer takes action, or a Dominator-level purification Prop is used.]

A message: "Phew..." Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief!

"Your clothes cost 100,000. Please transfer the money back to me."

The Fear King ignored him.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Of course, defaulting on debt is your freedom, but publicizing this matter is also the freedom of a creditor like me.]

"The Fear King has transferred ¥ to you."

"Humph!"

Zhang Yuanqing happily got the money back, then took out the Evil-Breaking Talisman, the Ghost Mirror, and opened his Star Eyes.

In the mirror, his appearance was normal, with no crises.

In terms of appearance, using the Evil-Breaking Talisman wouldn't cause any danger and could eliminate the mark.

This was certified by both Fu Qingyang and the Fear.

Plus the "guarantee" of Star Divination, Zhang Yuanqing thought there was no problem.

The Fear King silently marked me. If I didn't notice, he would use the mark to find out my true identity. If I noticed and eliminated the mark, he wouldn't care!

Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself and stuck the Evil-Breaking Talisman on his forehead.

Clear but weak golden light burst out and then dissipated.

Zhang Yuanqing could clearly feel something being cleared from his body.

"Marks are not difficult to deal with, but oaths and curses are troublesome. I have to rescue the Devil Eye King for the curse to be eliminated, and I can't actively eliminate the curse, or the oath will take my life."

"Well, I can't ask for help from the authorities or that old hag, whether intentionally or unintentionally. When my level increases in the future, I'll definitely hang the Fear up and beat him."

"Huh, wait, he said I can ask him for advice anytime. I can completely use the Devil Eye's name to extract more information about the zoo from the Fear King!"

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up.

It's not all bad! He thought.

Late at night, Kangyang District Security Department, the cafe across the street.

Zhang Yuanqing saw the Palace Master of Zisha again. Unlike before, when he was restrained and distant, this time he casually entered the cafe, sat by the glass wall, and waited for the Palace Master to bring him coffee.

After receiving the fragrant coffee, Zhang Yuanqing added two spoons of sugar, stirred it, tasted it, and nodded in satisfaction:

"This time the taste is good."

The insane Palace Master rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him with a smile. "You're getting more and more out of line. A kept man should have the humility of a kept man."

"Anyway, we're family friends. If I'm out of line, I'm out of line. Are you going to hang me up and beat me?"

Zhang Yuanqing wasn't afraid of her threats at all. Instead, he provoked her. "Everyone says you're neurotic and abnormal, but you've never gone crazy in front of me."

The Palace Master of Zisha sighed softly. "Speak, what is it this time?"

"Do you know Nuwa?" Zhang Yuanqing said.

The eyes beneath the Palace Master of Zisha's mask rolled upward, looking at the ceiling. After a few seconds, she shook her head. "Never heard of her."

The difference is immediately apparent. The information a Demigod-level expert possesses is far beyond what a Dominator can compare to!

Zhang Yuanqing didn't ask any more questions. He said, "I went to Takamagahara, the Takamagahara in Japanese legends, and I obtained some top-quality Props there."

"So you came to share your joy with me?"

The Palace Master of Zisha said with a smile. "Your attitude is not bad. I'll give you a verbal reward."

She didn't care about the treasures at all, teasing and praising him with a smile.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "The reason I'm looking for you today is related to the treasures in Takamagahara. I found a bronze divine tree inside..."

He immediately explained the connection between Takamagahara and the First Emperor, and the quality of the bronze divine tree, in detail.

The Palace Master of Zisha was originally listening with a smile, resting her chin on her hand, and not caring at all.

But the more she listened, the more silent she became. The smile on her lips slowly disappeared, and her leaning body straightened up little by little.

After Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, she frowned and whispered:

"I don't know what that is, but I can feel that it is something very, very precious and important. Musicians live longer than other classes, but even Demigods can't achieve immortality."

"But the First Emperor thought it could. If it's true, then it's likely the best thing for the Musician class. It might change my fate."

"After I come out of Qin Feng Academy, if there are any clues, I'd like to go to Takamagahara with you," Zhang Yuanqing said.

The Palace Master of Zisha stared at him for a moment, then said, "Do you want to repay me?"

Her voice was unusually gentle.

Zhang Yuanqing "hmm"ed.

The Palace Master of Zisha covered her mouth and giggled. "Wrong answer, but your intentions are rare, so I agree."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "I'll be entering Qin Feng Academy at nine o'clock tomorrow, for a seven-day training period."

Seeing the Palace Master of Zisha nod, he raised his cup, drank the coffee in one gulp, and disappeared into dreamy starlight.

Late at night.

Taiyi Sect Training Camp, clubhouse bar.

Yuan Ting, with ordinary features but an outstanding temperament, held a glass of wine in his hand, happily saying:

"We're entering Qin Feng Academy tomorrow. Haha, I've really had enough of the training camp. Since April this year, I've spent most of my time in the training camp. Elder Sun is really confused and inhuman."

"Miao Miao, don't be angry. I'm scolding your grandfather, it has nothing to do with you."

Sun Miao Miao rolled her eyes. "It's not your own big mouth that caused the trouble. And then there's Yuanshi Tianzun. What does it have to do with grandfather? Haven't you noticed? Your training camp life started in April when Yuanshi Tianzun joined the official organization."

"Right, Zhao Chenghuang?"

He looked at the cool youth beside him.

Zhao Chenghuang ignored her.

Yuan Ting slapped his thigh. "That makes sense! My misfortune started when Yuanshi Tianzun joined the organization. Humph, there's never anything good when I'm with him. I hope he won't be at Qin Feng Academy."

"I think so too. That kid is a jinx. Nothing good happens when you meet him. The attack on the Hundred Flowers Club a while ago is an example," Sun Miao Miao said.

The two happily clinked glasses.

Qin Feng Academy is a very nice place, with beautiful scenery and many strange little animals. The pace of life is slow, with no fighting and no training, making it perfect for a vacation.

They had been there after becoming Spirit Attendants and finishing their three-month internship.

Now it's the Saint Advanced Study Class.

The teaching atmosphere at Qin Feng Academy is very similar to that of a university. Learn if you want, don't learn if you don't want. The teachers are very laid-back.

As long as the teaching teacher is not Fire Demon.

So in their eyes, Qin Feng Academy is a vacation paradise.

The desk lamp emitted an orange halo, not very bright, bringing a hazy dimness.

On the high-backed chair by the desk, there was a figure wearing a black robe. He leaned back lazily, his body bathed in the orange light, while his face was hidden in the darkness.

"The Leader observed the heavens at night and saw the trajectory of the future. He said that after you enter Qin Feng Academy, as long as you pay attention to Jiaoren Lake, you can find that treasure for him."

The Great Protector's hoarse and deep voice echoed in the dim study.

"But

remember, this trip is full of dangers and may bring about a bloody disaster. The Leader said that caution, care, and decisiveness are the keys to resolving the crisis."

"Caution, care, and decisiveness..." The person on the other end of the phone murmured, "Understood, Great Protector. Wait for the news. I will find that treasure for the Leader."

Jiangnan Province, Leather City.

A middle-aged man with graying hair sat on the sofa in the living room and said earnestly, "Aotian, when you enter Qin Feng Academy, remember to be careful in your words and actions. Think before you speak. Dad doesn't ask you to be all things to all people, just don't make enemies."

A handsome young man, lying on the opposite sofa in a Ge You pose, said in a tone that disregarded everything, "That depends on how many brainless villains there are in the academy. I promise not to slap them in the face proactively."

The middle-aged man silently covered his face.

A beautifully maintained woman cut a plate of fruit and walked over, comforting her husband in a gentle voice, "Honey, give up. Aotian's character is like this. Give up. It's better to not waste time on him. It's late, let's go upstairs and work hard to create a small account. Yes, create a small account, that's what's popular now. We're still young."

Xiahou's father felt that his son's character could still be salvaged, but Xiahou's mother had long been despaired.

Although Aotian is a talented child, and is already a level 5 Saint at a young age, his character is really too bad.

The elders of the clan all had veins popping on their foreheads when they heard the name Xiahou Aotian.

The old ancestor of the Xiahou family said, "Don't bring this kid to see me again!"

The reason was that when Xiahou Aotian was promoted to Saint, it happened to be the second anniversary of becoming a Spirit Attendant. This talent couldn't be compared to a monster, but it was definitely first-class.

The old ancestor of the Xiahou family was overjoyed and said he wanted to meet this excellent descendant.

Xiahou Aotian was also overjoyed and crafted a ring to contain souls overnight. When he met the old ancestor, he took it out and said, "Old Ancestor, quickly abandon your body and come into the ring. From now on, you will be my great-grandfather. In the future, I will reshape your body and bring you to stand in the world. By the way, do you have any disciples who betrayed their teachers and destroyed their ancestors?"

Xiahou Aotian was banished by the old ancestor from then on.

Xiahou's father recalled the past and sighed, "Wife, you're right, wife, let's go."

Xiahou's parents hugged each other and went upstairs.

The next day, at nine o'clock.

Zhang Yuanqing put away the Eight-foot Mirror sent by Fu Qingyang's Bunny Girl and confirmed that everything was ready. He put his hands on the shoulders of Blood Rose and Silver Night Princess.

He heard the familiar Spirit Realm notification sound.

[Ding, the Spirit Realm map is opening. Entering the Spirit Realm in 30 seconds. The Spirit Realm you are entering this time is "Qin Feng Academy", number: None]

[Difficulty level: Unknown]

[Type: Multiplayer]

[Main mission: Study for seven days]

[Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.]

[Spirit Realm Introduction: The predecessor of the Hundred Flowers Club's gang Spirit Realm was the royal academy of the Qin Dynasty. After the Hundred Flowers Club conquered this Spirit Realm, they rebuilt it into Qin Feng Academy, a place to train members.]

"Princess, I'll take you to see the world and experience the atmosphere of a modern school."

Zhang Yuanqing pinched the Princess's fragrant shoulder.

The Silver Night Princess was a little displeased, but thinking about the upcoming academy trip, her heart was full of anticipation.

Soon, the scenery in front of them rippled.
