He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Being different from the mainstream meant being unusual.

Before knowing whether it was good or bad, he couldn't speak out recklessly. Moreover, since there was no relevant information on the forum, it meant that the Black Moon was not something that could be understood at a low level.

The higher the level of something, the more it needed to be kept confidential. This was a common sense that everyone understood.

Especially since he was still a rookie, he didn't have the ability and experience to deal with emergencies.

Why was the character card that Brother Bing gave me different from a normal Night God's? This damn thing didn't tell me anything, and he disappeared.

Then, he exited the post and clicked on the forum's search bar, planning to look up information on the San Dao Mountain Temple.

After typing "San Dao Mountain Temple," he obtained two results: one was the previously read copy of the strategy guide (Wu Xing Alliance version), and the other was an introduction to the San Dao Mountain Temple.

"San Dao Mountain Temple, a shrine on San Dao Mountain in Songjiang Prefecture during the Ming Dynasty, worshipped the goddess San Dao Mountain Niang Niang, who was skilled in praying for rain, exorcising ghosts, refining medicine, and benefiting the area. After San Dao Mountain Niang Niang ascended to heaven, the local government officials and gentry raised funds to build a temple for her.

"San Dao Mountain Temple declined early and lacked many precious research materials—excerpt from the Song Library."

Excerpt from the Song Library...

Looking at these words, Zhang Yuanqing's face went blank, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Did the San Dao Mountain Temple really exist? Did it exist in history?

If that was the case, did the goddess really exist? Or was she a real person?

Could real people appear in the Lingjing?

If she was a real person, would she crawl out of the Lingjing to find me... Zhang Yuanqing was scared by his own thoughts.

"Sister Guan, I have a question..."

He never tried to figure things out for himself.

Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.

Guan Ya turned around.

Zhang Yuanqing told her his guess about the San Dao Mountain Temple.

"The Chief should have told you that the Lingjing is between reality and illusion." Old Si Ji raised her cup, took a sip, and said, "Many scenes in the Lingjing are based on reality, such as the 'Lingang Reservoir' and 'Xiangshui Amusement Park' Night God trial Lingjing, which have corresponding locations in reality, but obviously, these things don't exist in reality, or it would have been a mess by now."

So, although San Dao Mountain Niang Niang really existed, the one I saw was a fictional character in the Lingjing? Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved.

Old man, just stay in the Lingjing.

...

Beijing, Beishui Gate Airport.

Yuan Ting, with a thin face, sat in the spacious seat of the business cabin, dressed in a black suit and black shirt, his hair neatly combed, a dress that looked like a business elite.

Through the small window, he looked down at the lights of the city, shining brightly.

He had just reported the news of the conquest of the She Ling Tunnel to the organization today, and in the afternoon, he would be summoned to Beijing.

But it had nothing to do with the She Ling Tunnel. This time, he was summoned by the leader of Taiyi Men to attend a meeting of scattered Night Gods from all over the country.

Large-scale meetings like this usually only took place at the end of each year because that was when Night Gods from all over the country came to Beijing to report their work.

If there were exceptions, it must be a big deal.

I hope it's not bad news... Yuan Ting looked at the city lights getting closer and closer, his thoughts in a whirl.

The plane landed smoothly, Yuan Ting got off the plane, dragged his luggage straight to the underground parking lot, and boarded the special car waiting for him there.

Forty minutes later, the special car arrived at a five-star hotel, Yuan Ting put away his luggage, took the elevator to the large conference room on the top floor.There is a banquet going on here. Men and women dressed in black suits, black coats, and black long dresses are shuttling between food and drinks, talking and laughing.

"Oh, Captain Yuan is here."

Yuan Ting just picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and saw a man in a black shirt coming up to him. He had short, refreshing hair, bright eyes, a hard-lined face, and a standard inverted triangle figure.

"Jian Ji!"

Yuan Ting smiled at his friend who had come to greet him. "Long time no see."

"We've been waiting for you. Let's go say hello."

Jian Ji put his hand on Yuan Ting's shoulder and led him to the table. There were six people sitting at the table, three men and three women. They were all night walkers who had trained with Yuan Ting when he first entered the Taiyi Gate. Now they were all captains.

After a brief chat, Yuan Ting asked, "Why did the gate master call everyone to come to Beijing this time?"

Yang Qian, who had her hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing leather pants and jacket, said in a low voice, "We were just talking about this. We only know that the confidentiality level is very high, and even the stewards don't know."

Although she had a slender figure and a heroic spirit, she didn't wear makeup or jewelry.

The stewards don't even have the qualifications to know? Yuan Ting nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Jian Ji raised his glass and said with a smile, "We'll know when the meeting starts. It's useless to think about it now. By the way, has anything interesting happened recently?"

Yang Qian, with a strong aura, smiled and said, "I have an interesting story. The eldest son of the Xiahou family on the coast was disabled by the master of the Stop Killing Palace not long ago. It is said that when the elders of the Xiahou family arrived at the scene, he was almost dead. Although he was rescued with the life fluid, he was seriously injured and probably won't dare to go out for a long time. If there is a spiritual realm mission in the near future, he will undoubtedly die."

"Stop Killing Palace?" A male classmate looked at Yuan Ting. "If I remember correctly, this is a group of spiritual realm walkers in the Songhai area. How did they get into a conflict with the Xiahou family?"

Yuan Ting shook his head and said, "The people in the Stop Killing Palace are all extreme in character, especially the palace master. They don't need to be surprised by anyone they quarrel with. But their attitude towards official organizations is relatively friendly, and they usually behave themselves."

Yang Qian sighed, "The palace master is a high-level spiritual realm walker, and even the stewards may not be her opponents. As long as she doesn't go too far, it's better to turn a blind eye."

After chatting for a while, Jian Ji looked around and said, "We have too few night walkers, and we can only watch other professions make a fuss and steal the show."

"Speaking of which, it's been many years since we had a stunning night walker in our gate." Xia Liang, with a cute round face, said in a soft and sweet voice.

Since they were talking about this topic, Yuan Ting became interested and said, "I have a big news related to our night walkers."

The people at the table looked over, full of curiosity.

"Do you remember the Sha Ling Tunnel?" Yuan Ting asked.

"Uh, the bug spiritual realm for beginners. Jiang Lin and Zhao Kai died in it." Jian Ji asked puzzledly, "Did someone else die there?"

"From now on, there is no more first kill in the Sha Ling Tunnel. It was conquered by a young man."

Yuan Ting's words were like a dumb bomb, making the night walkers at the table speechless.

After a few seconds, Jian Ji asked in confusion, "Is this true?"

Xia Bing widened her eyes and said in her sweet voice, "Yuan Ting, don't joke around."

The others looked skeptical.

Yuan Ting nodded affirmatively, "This matter has been reported to the gate. You can ask your superiors if you don't believe it. But if you don't look at the strategy, the stewards should tell you."Doubts turned into exclamations of surprise, and the night gods by the table were stunned and excited.

"This is a big deal."

"That brother is amazing! How did he do it? Damn, I just want to see the strategy now, don't want to attend the meeting anymore."

"Wake up, your authority probably can't access it."

Yang Qian looked around and asked, "Did this newcomer join Taiyi Men? Is he in Beijing?"

Yuan Ting seemed to be more interested and shook his head regretfully. "You don't know, that guy was recruited by the Five Elements Alliance. Fu Qingyang personally called Sun Zhanglao to ask for the strategy. When Sun Zhanglao heard that the trial task was She Ling Tunnel, he immediately said he didn't want this person."

"Words spoken cannot be taken back, alas, the elder is confused."

"Indeed confused."

"Sun Zhanglao, this... I'm angry."

As they were criticizing the high and mighty elder, Yuan Ting suddenly saw a middle-aged man in black walking towards him, heading straight for him and saying, "Yuan Ting, Sun Zhanglao said that after the meeting, don't leave yet, go to his place."

Yuan Ting's expression froze instantly.

The banquet soon came to an end, and the waiters removed the plates and drinks. The soft lighting turned into bright and intense conference lights, and the night gods sat silently at their respective round tables, waiting in silence. Over a hundred people were silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

In the long wait, an old man in a white practice suit stepped into the conference room amidst eager anticipation. He was nearly two meters tall, extremely imposing, with a face devoid of wrinkles, sharp eyes like a knife, a golden sun at the center of his eyebrows, like a tattoo. If it weren't for his silver hair, he would look more youthful than young people.

Taiyi Men's Grand Elder, Lingjing ID: Chiri Xingguan.

The night gods sat up straight and gave enough respect to the strongest night god under the sect.

Chiri Xingguan swept his eyes over the many disciples below and slowly said, "Not long ago, the sect leader sensed the fall of the Demon King, and the major trouble of Taiyi Men's heart has been eliminated. But the Demon King's role card has not returned to Lingjing and its whereabouts are unknown. Next, you must search for the Demon King's successor with all your might."

"This successor has two major characteristics: the career mark is not a crescent moon, but a black full moon. When clearing Lingjing, he has a role card reward that ordinary night gods do not have."
