Listening to the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Fu Qingyang's stern face froze for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard or that Teng Yuan was being audacious and joking with his superiors.

After a few seconds of silence, his voice mixed with anticipation, he said in a deep voice:

"Yuan Shi killed Hei Wu Chang?"

At this moment, Fu Qingyang's face became serious, his attention focused entirely on his hearing, focused on the small phone.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, the curly-haired Teddy with strong hearing also heard the sound coming from the phone. It clung to the edge of the rooftop with its paws, lowered its head, and stared with its deep button eyes without blinking.

"Yes, and he killed him alone. When we arrived, Hei Wu Chang was already dead," Teng Yuan's voice still sounded weak, but to Fu Qingyang and the Elder Dog, it was like heavenly music.

The Elder Dog lowered its head even further and immediately said, "Ask him if he obtained the Fallen Holy Grail."

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly and said, "Did he obtain the Fallen Holy Grail?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Shi's voice through the speaker, saying from a distance, "Hei Wu Chang saw that the situation was hopeless, so he bowed down and offered the Fallen Holy Grail, begging for his life. But I was angry and did not forgive him."

Fu Qingyang automatically ignored the rest of the conversation, and a rare expression of joy appeared on his stern face.

But on the phone, his tone still maintained the coldness of a leader. "Understood, tell me the address, I will come immediately."

Teng Yuan said, "We are already on our way to the school. We will be back within three minutes."

Fu Qingyang could only suppress his excitement and said calmly, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and looked at the Elder Dog at his feet. "Aren't you leaving?" Fu Qingyang was surprised.

Except for his subordinates, the Elder Dog rarely appeared in front of official practitioners. But judging from his posture, it was obvious that he intended to wait with them.

The Elder Dog smiled and said, "How can I leave without seeing the Fallen Holy Grail? Besides, I want to meet the new talents of our Five Elements Alliance."

"Haha, Elder Sun, you're confused. When he comes out of the Spirit Realm, I want to thank him properly," Fu Qingyang said.

"Qingyang, Yuan Shi Tianzun was recruited by your subordinate Li Dongze. The more achievements he makes, the greater the benefits for you. When headquarters evaluates a person's merits, the achievements of the people under his command are also taken into account," the Elder Dog said.

Fu Qingyang responded with a sound of agreement, "I plan to recruit him into the 'White Tiger Guard' and focus on his training."

The Elder Dog pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine, but the premise is that he can pass the physical examination."

Just as they were speaking, a group of people rushed over, protecting a young man in the center.

The Elder Dog immediately stopped talking.

When Teng Yuan led the people into the campus, Fu Qingyang looked at Zhang Yuanqing, whose face was pale in the crowd, nodded slightly, and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Zhang Yuanqing grinned, "I was poisoned, but it's almost cured now."

Only then did Fu Qingyang feel relieved and said, "Later, let Captain Qingteng check your pulse and remove the remaining poison."

After speaking, he looked at Teng Yuan.

The middle-aged man pushed his glasses and said, "I had someone transport Hei Wu Chang's body. I will bring it later. In addition, during the battle between Yuan Shi and Hei Wu Chang, an old man unfortunately got poisoned. I have already handed him over to the nearby Public Security Bureau."

After listening to the report, Fu Qingyang turned to Zhang Yuanqing to inquire about the Holy Grail.

Suddenly, he saw this kid walking towards the Elder Dog, squatting down and vigorously rubbing the dog's head, praising, "Captain Bai, is this your dog? You brought a dog to a fight? I know that people from the Baihua Society can control animals in battle. Did you use some kind of tool?"

"This dog is quite human-like. It seems unhappy when I touch its head. It even looks at me with a sideways glance."

Qingteng, Bailong, and the others didn't feel anything wrong, but Guan Ya, who knew the inside story, was dumbfounded and looked at this scene with a desperate expression. Fu Qingyang glanced at the Elder Dog, whose head was being rubbed back and forth, and then at the enthusiastic Zhang Yuanqing, and said calmly, "Do you like rubbing pets?"

"I don't like it, but this guy looks so lifeless that I can't help but want to rub it. It shouldn't be an ordinary Teddy, does it have any abilities?" Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stopped and sensed that something was wrong.

"This is one of the five elders of the Songhai Branch, my direct superior. Hey, why are you kneeling?" Fu Qingyang said, "I'm feeling weak in the legs. Captain Bai, isn't it customary for us subordinates to do this?" Zhang Yuanqing bowed and saluted, "Elder, may you live forever and unify the martial world!"

The curly-haired Teddy glanced at him, spoke in a human voice, and said in a hoarse voice, "No one has dared to touch my head for nearly twenty years. You are an interesting kid. Take out the Holy Grail."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately opened his inventory and summoned the Fallen Holy Grail.He didn't intend to monopolize this rule-type item. On one hand, the conditions did not allow it. The surveillance on the street and the request for help from Captain Feng Yuan made it impossible for him to hide this matter.

Furthermore, his goal was the roster, not the Holy Grail.

On the other hand, the Holy Grail was already damaged. Repairing high-level rule-type items was something he couldn't accomplish for a long time in the future.

Since that was the case, it was obviously more cost-effective to exchange the Holy Grail for merits, money, or item rewards.

Everyone's gaze immediately fell on this exquisite crystal cup full of cracks.

Looking at the empty crystal cup, Elder Dog narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds before saying:

"You did well, I'll call you Yuanqing. Your name is hard to pronounce. Hmm, you killed Black Impermanence and obtained the Holy Grail. You deserve the highest credit, and the organization will reward you."

"Thank you, Elder." Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and thanked him.

"You should have the arrogance of a genius." Elder Dog couldn't help but say.

"Elder is right, Elder is eternal." Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and thanked him.

Elder Dog extended his paw, and the fallen Holy Grail flew away on its own, with a flash of light, disappearing.

Elder Dog glanced at Fu Qingyang and said, "You are responsible for the follow-up."

After speaking, a green light enveloped it and then dissipated.

Fu Qingyang calmly arranged the tasks, including sealing off the school and dealing with nearby surveillance cameras.

Finally, he looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, come with me."

The two of them walked towards the depths of the campus, one in front and one behind.

The others went about their tasks, and only Guan Ya's gaze followed them.

2 a.m., Fu Family Villa.

Fu Qingyang sat upright in front of the widescreen computer, watching as the five elders appeared online one after another.

After everyone was present, Elder Dog's voice, full of vicissitudes and steadiness, said:

"The Holy Grail incident has ended. Black Impermanence's death has been confirmed, but the matter is not over. I have already released the list of fallen ones recorded in the roster to the branches in various places, urging them to launch a hunt."

"In addition, two members of the Dark Night Rose made a move in this battle. One is a Dominator Realm Day Wanderer, and the other is a Saint Realm Fire Master." The elder of the Red Fire Gang snorted coldly and said in a rough voice:

"I will report to the leader and investigate the officials in the Saint Realm. If it is confirmed that they are members of the Red Fire Gang, I will definitely blow up this dog head who takes advantage of others."

Elder Dog said displeasedly, "Watch your rhetoric. Also, there is a mystery in the fallen Holy Grail incident. Qingyang, you explain."

Fu Qingyang reported concisely:

"The battle at Songhai Third Elementary School has been known to all the elders. I won't go into details. I will explain the reason why Yuanqing discovered Black Impermanence. He has a treasure-hunting item."

"During the surveillance at the convenience store, the item and the fallen Holy Grail resonated. Therefore, he followed the guidance of the item and found Black Impermanence." At this point, I don't think there is any need for suspicion. The surveillance along the way showed that he did indeed search all the way. I also tested him for lies. In addition, when he saw Black Impermanence, he immediately chose to seek help, which can also prove that he did not know in advance where Black Impermanence was hiding."

At this time, a voice, rich in mature female magnetism but slightly gloomy, said:

"A treasure-hunting item? How could he have an item of the 'Void' profession?"

Fu Qingyang said, "I only need to confirm whether he lied or not. I believe that the privacy of subordinates should not be violated."

After a few seconds of pause, seeing that Elder Water Palace did not refute, Fu Qingyang continued:

"As for Black Impermanence's death, it has no direct relation to him. Black Impermanence was killed by a mysterious person. Yuanqing, at that time, was blindfolded and did not see the appearance of the mysterious person. The surveillance can testify for him, but the surveillance did not capture the mysterious person. The footage shows that the two of them confronted each other for a moment, and then Black Impermanence died inexplicably."

Elder Courtyard said gently, "It's normal for the surveillance to not capture it. Elders, what are your thoughts on the conversation between Black Impermanence and the mysterious person?"

The gloomy but magnetic female voice said, "He obviously knows Black Impermanence, but what does 'time' and 'place' mean? Does the Night Wanderer have the ability to peek into fate? It doesn't seem right." In the online conference room, silence fell, and after more than ten seconds, Elder Dog said:

"Let's put this question aside for now. I have already reported it to headquarters. Let's see what the leaders say. I am more interested in the identity of the mysterious person." He wiped away Black Impermanence's spirit body, obviously not wanting to reveal his identity, but a more secure approach would be to silence Yuanqing as well, but he didn't.

The elder of the Red Fire Gang said straightforwardly, "Are you saying that kid knows the mysterious person?"

Elder Dog said, "It's also possible that it was intentional. Qingyang, you have closer contact with Yuanqing. Have you noticed anything in your daily interactions?"

The elders remained silent, waiting for Fu Qingyang's reply.

After a few seconds of silence, Fu Qingyang calmly said, "I haven't noticed anything unusual."The five elders immediately skipped this topic. Fu Qingyang is a scout, a level 2 Night Wanderer. If there were any problems, it would be impossible to hide them from him. Since he said there were no abnormalities, then there were no abnormalities.

The elder of the White Tiger Army pondered and said, "He took away what the Demon Lord left behind, but he didn't care about the Fallen Holy Grail. This person's level is definitely not below ours. Did the Demon Lord really die?" The elder Dog said, "The leader of the Taiyi Sect confirmed the demise of the Demon Lord. It won't be wrong. Heh, if he is wrong, then there is nothing right in the world."

The elder of the White Tiger Army continued, "There is no need to question the death of the Demon Lord. What I mean is, since there is a mystery behind the Holy Grail incident, our focus should not only be on Black Impermanence carrying the cup and hiding these follow-ups, but also on thinking about the battle that caused the Judge of Illusions and the Demon Lord to fall together."

Fu Qingyang interjected, "I am also curious why the Demon Lord wanted to kill the Judge of Illusions. According to the elders' speculation, the Demon Lord is only one step away from reaching the top. What reason forced him to kill the Judge of Illusions first?"

In the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing stood by the window in his boxer shorts, wiping his wet hair.

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning. After returning home, he washed away his exhaustion and became refreshed.

Thanks to the effect of the pills from the Hundred Flowers Society, the remaining toxins in his body were eliminated in advance. Currently, apart from feeling a bit weak, he had no discomfort. "The Steady Orb is broken, and the Red Dancing Shoes have been tainted. Sigh, I'll ask Fu Qingyang tomorrow if there is a way to remove the impurities. The rewards given to me by the organization should be able to compensate for the losses in my body, mind, and equipment."

He wasn't worried about the problem with the Red Dancing Shoes. Purifying impurities was the Night Wanderer's specialty, so he could seek help from the Taiyi Sect through the Five Elements Alliance.

Instead, it was the appearance of the mysterious person today that he couldn't forget.

The appearance of that mysterious person indicated that there must be deeper secrets behind the Fallen Holy Grail incident.

"The little sun in the Holy Grail, my intuition tells me that it is something extraordinary. Forget it, it's dangerous for me to obtain it at my current level. Sigh, it's not meant for me...."

After drying his hair, Zhang Yuanqing lazily lay on the bed and summoned Xiao Dou Bi.

While stroking the child's head, he took out the "Scarecrow".

This item was his spoils of war and was not handed over with the Holy Grail and the register.

Holding the Scarecrow, after a few seconds, the item information appeared in his field of vision:

[Name: Cursed Scarecrow]

[Type: Special Item]

[Function: Taint, Curse]

[Description: A straw man woven from wild grass grown in a cursed land. It is full of malice towards everything in the world. It will contaminate things around it and drag them into the abyss of corruption.]

[Note: If one day you find that a sow has become beautiful, then congratulations, you have become a member of the Fallen.]

Suddenly, I understand why Black Impermanence's XP has become more and more strange. Zhang Yuanqing seriously considered whether to keep this item.

He felt that the lady in black stockings was the beauty worth pursuing, not the sow in black stockings.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly put the Scarecrow back into his inventory as if it was burning his hands.

He covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes to sleep. When he woke up, he would hand over this broken thing and exchange it for an item that was not so terrifying.

Just at this moment, the Cat King speaker placed in the desk drawer made a "sizzle" sound of electricity.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately lifted the blanket, sat at the desk, opened the drawer, took out the Cat King speaker, and placed it on the table.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

After a long time, Zhang Yuanqing gradually figured out the pattern of this thing. During the day, he would sing without warning, but rarely played any content related to the Demon Lord.

But in the middle of the night, whenever it made a "sizzle" sound, it meant that it was going to play a certain audio from the past.

The sound of electricity lasted for a moment, and then a familiar, deep voice came through the speaker:

"The erosion of the Holy Grail is becoming stronger. I am becoming less and less like myself. I am starting to crave killing and playing with women. This is not the real me."

"I don't believe that the control of the Holy Grail is unsolvable. I will definitely find a way to break free from its control."

"Judge of Illusions, I will kill you. One day, I will definitely kill you."

This was the voice of the Demon Lord.
