Zhang Yuanqing unhesitatingly used Star Shift to return to the vicinity of the Tiger Seal, picking up the demigod-level item and placing it into his inventory.

The stabbing pain in his heart immediately eased, and the fear that had been destroying his sanity also vanished.

Upgrading the Thunderbolt Cannon to Sovereign quality meant that the cost of a single lightning strike was enough to kill its master without any defense. Similarly, the cost of using the Tiger Seal could instantly kill Zhang Yuanqing, and it could ignore defenses.

Losing the suppression of the Tiger Seal, Sixth Elder's spirit aura climbed steadily, and he began to laugh wildly.

"What makes you think you can challenge me, Yuanshi Tianzun? Did you think that borrowing a Sovereign-level item would allow you to kill a true Sovereign? You're too young. Now you will pay the price for your youth!" His voice rose sharply but stopped abruptly, just as he suddenly ceased using his spirit aura.

Zhang Yuanqing gasped and chuckled: "Without the Tiger Seal, you still can't return to your peak state."

Of course, Illusionists didn't rely heavily on their physical bodies, but without a body, their strength would still be affected. Moreover, having experienced two "Battle Soul" attacks, Sixth Elder's soul had been severely damaged. Even without the Tiger Seal's suppression, he could only recover to a weak Level 7 state at most.

Sixth Elder's expression changed slightly, then he composed himself and said coldly, "You'll never know how powerful a Sovereign is!" With that, he grabbed a stack of black paper talismans and flung them into the air.

The paper talismans, like card-shaped throwing weapons, thudded around Zhang Yuanqing, completely enveloping him. An invisible barrier formed, and illusory chains extended from the black paper talismans with red writing, snaking towards Zhang Yuanqing's neck.

These were Soul Refining Talismans!

Anyone ensnared by the Soul Refining Chains would have their soul imprisoned in place. A Saint-level The Way of the Extraordinary would be torn apart and obliterated by the chains in at most ten seconds.

Furthermore, the barrier formed by the Soul Refining Talismans ignored physical destruction, and souls could never penetrate it.

Only opposing forces or stronger soul power could break the barrier.

Watching the incoming chains, the method taught by Sandao Shan Niangniang in the cabin flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind. He took out the Demon Subduing Pestle and flung it towards one of the black paper talismans.

"Bang!" The Demon Subduing Pestle shattered the floor tiles and embedded itself in the ground, but the paper talisman was undamaged.

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, then understood. The Demon Subduing Pestle was a Night Wanderer's exclusive item. In the hands of a Night Wanderer, it could unleash earth-shattering power, but in the hands of an outsider, it only had the functions of "Purification" and "Exorcism."

And the talismans were items, not Yin objects. Clearly, they were not afraid of these two functions.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his arm and condensed a Golden Light Spear that was not quite dense enough, and threw it with all his might.

The spear accurately hit the black paper talisman. The six chains paused slightly, but quickly recovered and surged towards Zhang Yuanqing from all directions. He was doomed if he was entangled by the chains. Every Sovereign-level item was not to be underestimated.

Zhang Yuanqing calmly took out the Sliding Shoes. These shoes were only Saint-level items, so naturally they could not slide out of a Sovereign-level item's barrier, but they could effectively avoid the entanglement of the chains and buy him time.

However, just as he took out the Sliding Shoes, Sixth Elder, outside the barrier, controlled his own spirit power and sketched mysterious and profound symbols in his mind. The symbols emerged in his eye sockets.

Staring coldly at Zhang Yuanqing within the barrier, the next second, Zhang Yuanqing felt the surrounding scenery begin to spin, and his whole person seemed to sink into a terrifying vortex.

The lights were swallowed by the deep, terrifying vortex, including his spirit power. His thoughts suddenly froze, his eyes vacant, like a walking corpse.

Level 7 skill: Nihility!

Although his soul had been severely damaged and his power was no longer at its peak, his realm had returned. He could still manage to use a Sovereign-level skill once.

"Nihility" was the signature skill of a Nihilist. Level 7 Nihility could plunge the target's soul into a state of selflessness and nothingness, a state of silent annihilation. During this period, the target would have no emotions, no thoughts, like a lifeless stone. It was an extremely terrifying crowd control skill.

"Swish, swish, swish," the six chains shot out and successfully entangled Zhang Yuanqing's neck, wrists, and ankles, and began to refine his soul.

In just ten seconds, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was at the Saint stage, would have his soul scattered and obliterated.

Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun, who had fallen into a daze within the barrier, Sixth Elder sneered, "I told you, you don't know how powerful a Sovereign is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the windows of the hall suddenly shattered. The barrier arranged like a matchbox was shattered by Sovereign-level power, and thousands of bright red silk threads surged in through the shattered glass shards.

These tentacle-like, wildly dancing silk threads stretched towards the six black talismans. Fine as hair, they illusorily entangled the six talismans and pulled with all their might.

The black talismans pasted to the ground were immediately torn off like bowls being lifted. A Musician skilled in hypnosis also possessed a powerful soul, second only to Night Wanderers and Illusionists in the soul domain.

At the same time, a bright, high-pitched, and beautiful soprano voice came from outside the window.

It seemed to possess the power to penetrate the soul. Yuanshi Tianzun, who had fallen into a daze, quickly regained his brilliance in his pupils and found himself again.

Encouragement!

One of the abilities of a Musician at the Extraordinary stage. At this moment, when used by Zhi Sha Gongzhu, it was like a great war song, instantly pulling Zhang Yuanqing back to reality from his state of selflessness and nothingness.

"Sima?"

Sixth Elder's voice was somewhat surprised, but not particularly surprised. Clearly, he had expected it. Since Yuanshi Tianzun could borrow so many powerful items, what was it to ask a Sovereign for help?

He immediately made a decision in his heart, which was to leave using the ability to traverse dreams.

With his physical body destroyed, continuing to fight would be a dead end.

Although this Sima had broken the barrier and entered the battlefield, she had saved Yuanshi Tianzun, but she had also cleared obstacles for him. Now, no one could stop him from traversing dreams.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Sixth Elder activated Dream Traverse. However, he did not see any dreams in his field of vision. In other words, no one nearby was sleeping, not even a dog.

Without any dreams to traverse, the bright red silk threads gathered and condensed into a red-skirted woman wearing a silver mask. She giggled charmingly and said, "While you were fighting my man, I used my singing voice to awaken the nearby residents. They have been encouraged by the singing, and their abundant energy will last until dawn."

Sixth Elder's expression finally changed. Dream Traverse was the Illusionist's escape technique to rely on. Without this divine skill, an Illusionist was like a rat backed into a corner.

"Don't waste words with him, kill him!"

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed a round black moon and stuck it on his forehead. Half of his face was covered with vine-like black patterns. Then, he took out a lightning symbol and stuck it on his forehead.

The Form and Spirit Obliteration Blade in his hand immediately crackled with arcs of blue and white electricity.

And his aura became strange and noble, like a dark night king, a scion of the Taiyin. Darkness surged from Zhang Yuanqing's eye sockets, using the spirit body suppressing skill "Soul Devour," and then, under the battle power bonus of "Encouragement," he transformed into purple electricity and darted towards Sixth Elder.

Sixth Elder retreated in horror, exerting all his strength to use his skills. Mental Manipulation was ineffective! Mental Strike had little effect. Dream, ineffective.

He desperately stimulated his potential, urging his spirit power, intending to use "Nihility" again at the cost of overdrafting his origins.

Zhi Sha Gongzhu, not far away, immediately opened her throat and hummed a lullaby. At the same time, she raised her hand, and her verdant jade fingers pinched something in the air, as if she had pinched something.

She pinched that thing and quickly retreated, creating distance, before tying that thing to her wrist.

Connecting the Red Thread!

She tied Sixth Elder's red thread to herself. The two parties connected by the red thread would develop feelings of love for each other. This was also why Zhi Sha Gongzhu resisted using this skill.

The reason was that the power of the red thread was to make the enemy fall in love with her, and she would also fall in love with the enemy, even if it was only for a few minutes.

But at this moment, in order to ensure that Yuanshi could quickly end the battle, she could only be affected by the red thread.

Sixth Elder suddenly realized that he did not need to stimulate his spirit power in a mutually destructive way, because there was a beloved Sima by his side.

He immediately stopped and rushed towards Zhi Sha Gongzhu, vibrating with intense mental fluctuations.

"Help, my love!"

Zhi Sha Gongzhu's skirt silk exploded and entangled Yuanshi Tianzun, but she had deliberately created distance just now, so she couldn't stop him in time. She watched helplessly as Yuanshi Tianzun caught up with Sixth Elder, and the black blade flashing with electric arcs quickly slashed, unleashing six or seven slashes in an instant.

Zhi Sha Gongzhu screamed sharply, "No!"

Sixth Elder's soul screamed and was annihilated, his soul scattered and obliterated. The moment he died, the red thread broke, and Zhi Sha Gongzhu suddenly stopped speaking and spat, "How disgusting!"

Zhang Yuanqing endured the negative costs brought about by the various items, and methodically put away the Thunder God Seal, the Zodiac Set, the Natal Spirit Moon, and the Sliding Shoes… He also put away the "Soul Refining Talismans" and the divine robe that had fallen to the ground.

Then, he grabbed a women's T-shirt from the ground, stained it with blood, and wrote on the ground: "Yuanshi Tianzun was here!"

Then, he snapped his fingers with a "snap" and disappeared into the hall.

Zhi Sha Gongzhu then rode on the red silk, surfing towards the night sky, quickly leaving.

At three-thirty in the morning, the Deacon of the Liandu branch, "Dahe Zhi Shui," arrived at the scene in a hurry with an official team.

He had been called by the security bureau, saying that there was a "special case" that needed him to handle.

This was official jargon. Cases involving The Way of the Extraordinary events were all called "special cases" and transferred to the Five Elements Alliance for handling.

When "Dahe Zhi Shui" arrived at the villa district, he saw that violent conflicts had indeed occurred, but they had not affected ordinary people, and their impact was small.

The residents of several nearby residential areas were restless. Some were shouting and screaming at home, some were forming teams to dance in the square, and some were frantically venting their energy with their partners on the balcony.

Some were fighting in the residential area. Even the dogs in the residential area thought they were wolves.

The Liandu City Security Bureau mobilized a lot of police force to barely suppress the restless residents.

Originally, this kind of transcendent event that had stopped the conflict, at most, would just send a few teams to deal with it, after all, there was no need to fight.

But a word from the head of the Security Bureau made "Dahe Zhi Shui," who was a Deacon, jump up directly from the bed.

A line of characters was left at the scene of the conflict: Yuanshi Tianzun was here. "Dahe Zhi Shui" wore a black, thin trench coat and entered the courtyard under the leadership of the security personnel.

Along the way, he saw several corpses lying in the courtyard. Several security personnel were taking pictures and collecting evidence.

"Dahe Zhi Shui" only glanced at them and did not stop. He went straight into the villa. Entering his sight were cracked floor tiles, overturned and damaged tables and chairs, and five female corpses and one male corpse, all naked.

The thick blood had gathered and solidified into black. "Dahe Zhi Shui's" eyes quickly scanned the scene, and he indeed saw that line of characters.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, why is he in Liandu?" This Plague God with a slightly gloomy temperament frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Then, he said to the scout subordinate who was surveying the scene and examining the corpses, "What did you find?"

The scout, whose temperament was as serious as a soldier, said, "These deceased should have been engaged in fierce physical combat before their deaths. Among the Lawful occupations, only Wood Demons would be so dissolute, but their physical strength is generally low. And Wood Demons are powerful climbers, so their physique shouldn't be so weak."

In addition, two of the female deceased had shocking signs of abuse on their bodies, which also did not conform to the temperament of Wood Demons. After all, demons are only keen on reproduction, not abuse.

"Dahe Zhi Shui" nodded. "So, it should be an Evil occupation?"

"The probability is high that they are Illusionists from the Southern School," the scout said his judgment.

"Who could make Yuanshi Tianzun take the initiative to attack!" "Dahe Zhi Shui" pondered for a few seconds, and said to the accompanying Scholar, "Liu Hongzhi, clear the security personnel, close the monitoring system, and everyone else stand by and prepare to subdue them."

Illusionists can change their faces in countless ways. To know their identity, one can only ask them personally. The Liandu branch was only a small branch, and there were no Night Wanderers stationed there, but because of good economic development, the Hangzhou branch had allocated Night Wanderer occupation items.

The official The Way of the Extraordinary members busied themselves in an orderly manner. Devouring the Spirit Body was a very risky behavior. Carelessness would lead to mental disorder.

"Dahe Zhi Shui" personally put on an item that restricted his freedom, and then took out a shroud that emitted a stench and was covered in mottled bloodstains and gently covered it on a female corpse.

After a while, no spirit body appeared. He covered the shroud on the other corpses in turn, and found that they had all been scattered and obliterated.

If it were normal circumstances, "Dahe Zhi Shui" would think that the souls of these Illusionists had escaped.

After all, Illusionists were different from other occupations. For Illusionists, the physical body was just the carrier of the soul. The soul would not die even if the physical body died.

But the enemy was Yuanshi Tianzun, a Night Wanderer, so it was impossible to let the souls escape.

"There are still corpses outside," the scout subordinate said.

"Dahe Zhi Shui" grabbed the corpse and came to the courtyard with the crowd, covering the body of the man in the duckbill cap next to the car with the shroud.

A few seconds later, a twisted and hideous spirit body emerged through the shroud. This Illusionist should have been subjected to an attack targeting the spirit body before his death. His physical body and soul died together, leaving only a remnant soul.

"Yuanshi Tianzun has companions? Or did he deliberately leave us a remnant soul?" the scout subordinate unconsciously began to analyze.

"I'll know when I devour the soul." "Dahe Zhi Shui" pinched the corner of the shroud, and black, viscous energy appeared in his eye sockets. He briefly possessed the ability to devour spirit power, and devoured the remnant soul in one gulp.
