Zhu Rong, sure enough, when she heard the audio of the Demon Lord, Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched.

When the Demon Lord mentioned capturing the sister of the head of the Zhu family, Chi Yue'an's ex-wife, he suspected that there would be such an audio clip sooner or later.

Sure enough, here it was.

I should record all these audio clips and release a series in the future, "The Women the Demon Lord Slept With in Those Years," or "The Great Collection of the Demon Lord's Lovers," and sell them on the black market.

You should know that the women who were involved with the Demon Lord back then are now all high-ranking ladies and daughters of heaven.

It should make a fortune, but it's too unethical to do such a thing, damaging the reputation of those women. Although the women who got involved with the Demon Lord were not good people, there were also those like Yin Ji who were deceived in their feelings. Well, let's consider her as being deceived in her feelings for now.

Facing the Demon Lord's sarcasm, Zhu Rong either felt too humiliated to respond or was too exhausted from the physical activity to speak.

Listening to the rhythmic and muffled groans coming from her nostrils, Zhang Yuanqing suspected it was the latter.

"Why aren't you speaking?" the Demon Lord sneered.

"You, you, bastard, you deserve to die," Zhu Rong gasped and gritted her teeth.

"When you led people to attack me, you said the same thing. Now, you're still lying under me, dripping with fluids. If your dead companions knew that you betrayed yourself to stay alive, I wonder how they would feel."

"Surviving is to kill scum like you and uphold justice."

"Oh, your mouth is still tough. When I tasted it just now, it wasn't so soft."

As they spoke, Zhang Yuanqing heard the sound of the mattress creaking, and based on his experience, this was the sound of someone getting up from the bed.

Then came the sound of bare feet on the floor, very chaotic, indicating that Zhu Rong was being dragged out of bed by the Demon Lord against her will.

Then there were the sounds of objects falling and hitting the ground, followed by the sound of a table being struck.

A new round of activity began, and the Demon Lord said with a smirk, "Uphold justice? People from your spiritual realm families have done plenty of unspeakable things behind the scenes. How thick-skinned must you be to shout about upholding justice? I have never killed ordinary people. Hey, you killing me is just for the sake of fame. If you want to make a name for yourself by stepping on me, you should be prepared to be killed in return. It's unreasonable for others to stick their necks out and wait for you to kill them."

"I gave you a choice: die with your companions or become my captive. You chose the latter."

"When you were attacking me just now, what did you say? As long as I kneel down and kowtow, and crawl under your companion's crotch, you would let me live a few more minutes. Now I'll give you another choice: from today, please me once a day. If I am satisfied, I will let you live another day. Otherwise, I will kill you immediately."

"If you agree, the contract will take effect immediately. If you refuse, I will send you back to the spiritual realm."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing frowned. The Demon Lord at this time should still be in the Transcendent realm, but compared to the previous times, his personality had clearly become more extreme, with a hint of both righteousness and evil.

The erosion of the Fallen Holy Grail is a bit frightening. The Demon Lord's twisted nature is changing faster than I imagined. At this point, he still has some bottom line and can find a famous reason for himself. In the later stages, he should completely fall into the evil path.

After a long silence, Zhu Rong whimpered intermittently, "Why should I believe you?"

"I never deceive women!"

"Fine."

"What? Speak up," Zhu Rong shouted with a tearful voice.

"I agree!!"

When the two finished their physical exchange, Zhang Yuanqing had already lost count of how many times he had entered the night roam. He just felt exhausted and wanted to sleep.

Really, every time he listened to the Demon Lord's physical scenes, he felt so tired. For a hot-blooded young man like me, this kind of audio is much more stimulating than movies. I should listen to it less in the future, Zhang Yuanqing thought wearily.

In the audio, the Demon Lord and Zhu Rong were breathing lightly and hadn't spoken for a long time.

After a while, the Demon Lord sneered, "Are you paralyzed like this? It seems that your husband doesn't satisfy you. Maybe in a month, you won't be able to leave me."

"Now, let's talk about something serious. I heard that the ancestor of your Zhu family was one of the first spiritual realm travelers. What era was he from?"

Zhu Rong remained silent.

"Smack!"

A loud sound, and Zhu Rong cried out in pain, not knowing where she had been hit.

Being hit, she suddenly became obedient and said in a low voice, "The late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China."

"Heh, it's indeed modern!" the Demon Lord said, "Do you know why the evil profession and the lawful profession are like water and fire?"

Listening to the conversation in the audio, Zhang Yuanqing's spirits lifted. It seemed to have some substance, not just pure titillation.

He had actually had doubts about this, feeling that the opposition between law and evil lacked internal motivation. If it was just a matter of opposing factions, it was difficult to make practitioners of the two major factions see each other as enemies. After all, reality is not a game, and a setting can't make people throw their heads and shed blood. In games, you can be reborn, but in reality, when you die, you're really dead.

Without practical benefits, who would be willing to risk their lives?

"What do you mean?" Zhu Rong seemed to be a little confused."Such a brainless aristocratic descendant. I am a lawful professional, but after becoming a spiritual realm walker, I haven't done anything lawful. In other words, I can completely ignore the evil profession. So, the strange relationship between the lawful camp and the evil camp is like water and fire, isn't it?" The Demon Lord said.

"Furthermore, in the battle between hostile camps, the only reward is reputation. Reputation is good, but it cannot make people risk their lives fighting the enemy, because the effort and income are not proportional.

"In other words, the hostile relationship between the two camps is not that serious, but the reality is that the official organization's attitude towards the evil profession is merciless, and the evil organization is the same. Don't you find it strange?" Zhu Rong said.

The Demon Lord said, "Oh, then I take back what I said just now. It's not that you're brainless, but that you have developed a fixed mindset. I want to ask you, have the elders of the family ever mentioned why it is necessary to kill the evil profession?"

Zhu Rong said, "I don't know, the elders of the family have never mentioned it. But I remembered something. The elders of the dominant level go out every year to hunt and kill the evil profession, and everyone does the same. Their emphasis on hunting and killing the evil profession is even equivalent to the spiritual realm instance. But they are not people who are obsessed with evil. Now that I think about it, it is indeed strange."

The Demon Lord pondered for a long time and said, "Then I probably guessed the reason."

The audio ended here.

Zhang Yuanqing almost dropped the speaker in his hand and thought, "What about the rest of the conversation? What is the reason? Hurry up and say it!"

Although this Demon Lord is unscrupulous and lecherous, he is indeed intelligent. Zhang Yuanqing leaned back in his chair, pondering this conversation.

He suddenly remembered the Taoist records of the Yin and Yang Scattered Man, which mentioned that the evil profession and the lawful profession could coexist in ancient times.

Although there were mutual killings, it was based on differences in values and for justice, rather than inherent opposition.

"Before the appearance of the spiritual realm, the confrontation between good and evil was a free choice. After the appearance of the spiritual realm, the evil camp and the lawful camp emerged, so it is the spiritual realm that leads to the hostility between the camps.

"But the guidance of the spiritual realm is not obvious, only the reputation setting. No, maybe it's not that it's not obvious, it's that the level hasn't been reached. According to Zhu Rong's statement, hunting and killing the evil profession is very important to the dominants, and this importance definitely comes from the spiritual realm, perhaps from spiritual realm tasks, or perhaps from other effects.

"Also, hunting and killing the evil profession is mostly beneficial to the factions, so the official organization will have rewards, and the evil profession will do the same. Why does the spiritual realm guide the opposition between the camps?"

"Ah, Zhu Rong must have been influenced by the Demon Lord and developed a pathological mindset, so she started raising and abusing the surface first, all of which is the Demon Lord's fault."

Zhang Yuanqing put away the Cat King speaker, returned to the side of Little Silly, and picked up the controller.

In an instant, the still picture on the screen started moving again, and the game character once again slaughtered the enemy on all sides.

Little Silly immediately became happy and quickly forgot the small doubt from earlier.

The next morning at seven o'clock, after Zhang Yuanqing had breakfast and finished washing up, he returned to his bedroom, intending to take a nap. He had stayed up late playing games until four in the morning.

Of course, for a night gamer, this didn't count as staying up late, it was just not resting at night, making it easier to feel drowsy during the day. This was a professional hazard for a night gamer.

"Sleep for two hours, set the alarm for eight fifty. There's a competition today, although I probably won't be on for two consecutive days, it's necessary to watch the battles of other star-level players."

Zhang Yuanqing lay back on the bed and silently logged into the forum.

After enjoying some flattery, he was about to sleep when his eyes suddenly focused on a prominent post on the homepage. It wasn't highlighted or at the top, but because of the astonishing number of comments, the post had been kept in a prominent position on the front page.

#Five Elements Alliance Shelters the Primordial Supreme#

The post was reprinted from the official forum of Taiyi Sect, and the content was very simple, accusing the Five Elements Alliance of sheltering the Primordial Supreme. As for what was being sheltered, the post's rhetoric was: Hindered by the contract, unable to express, but those who understand, understand!

"The Primordial Supreme's actions are despicable, and the Five Elements Alliance has not given an explanation. Our Taiyi Sect will refuse to participate in the arena competition. In addition, as an official organization, the Taiyi Sect also has the qualifications to deal with the night gamers who violate the convention."

Obviously, the night gamers of the Taiyi Sect were referring to the matter of the spiritual servants.

Other professions might not see it, but night gamers could clearly see the existence of Little Silly.

Using a baby as a spiritual servant not only violated the rules, but the nature of the act was also very heinous.

Tsk, the defeat of the Maoshan Warlock made the night gamers of the Taiyi Sect very unwilling, and they wanted to suppress me through the spiritual servant? Well, this is indeed my problem, I can't blame others for criticizing.

Zhang Yuanqing was not flustered at all, because Little Silly's background was very legitimate. It was born as a result of an accident, and was not created privately by him. This matter was reported at the time, and the detailed process of the case was clearly written in the data, with Guan Ya also involved.

At most, he was just privately keeping a baby spirit, which was much lighter in nature and not even considered a crime.

Zhang Yuanqing scrolled down and glanced at the Five Elements Alliance's spiritual realm walkers. Some were asking what was going on, some were beating around the bush, and some were saying that the Primordial Supreme had indeed done wrong.The official walkers are still mostly standing, so even if they defend him, they can't speak with confidence.

For the spiritual realm walkers who know the inside story, private refining of spiritual servants is indeed a big deal, especially when refining infant spirits.

At this time, the slightly harsh bell rang, and the caller was Fu Qingyang.

"Centurion!"

Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone.

Fu Qingyang's low voice came through: "The Taiyi Gate's Songhai branch reported that you privately refined spiritual servants, and it was an infant spirit. Elder Gou personally called me and asked me to ask you for an explanation."

These group of dogs, actually reported me? Zhang Yuanqing immediately said:

"Centurion, I did not privately refine spiritual servants, the infant spirit was obtained by me in an accident."

He immediately explained the whole story.

Finally, he added: "Guan Ya also participated in this matter and can testify for me. Moreover, when handling this matter, I reported it, and the process of the matter, Wang Qian's testimony, and the information are all available for your review."

Fu Qingyang's tone slightly improved, "Then there is no problem. I will give feedback to the elders, and the forum administrators will issue an announcement to clarify for you. I will try to make them announce this matter before nine o'clock."

Zhang Yuanqing "Hmm" in response.

Fu Qingyang continued, "Elder Gou has some information that needs to be conveyed to the Palace Master of the Stop Killing Palace through you."

"What's the matter?"

"Before the Chu family was wiped out, the Dark Night Rose had no leader." Fu Qingyang said, "Elder Gou wants to know her opinion."

"Okay."

About half an hour later, the forum administrators of the Five Elements Alliance posted a red-highlighted post.

The content of the post was very simple, just a mission report, a mission report on handling the infant spirit incident. The confidentiality level of this report was very low, belonging to the usual spiritual realm walker cases, and there was no problem with making it public.

However, in this way, some official walkers who did not know that the Primordial Tianzun had spiritual servants, based on this report, could deduce many things.

After reading the report, the spiritual realm walkers of the Five Elements Alliance immediately became excited.

"So that's the case. Why didn't you say so earlier? Forward it to the Taiyi Gate forum."

"Fortunately, fortunately, I almost thought that the image of the Primordial Tianzun had collapsed."

"I forwarded it a long time ago. Those idiots have been silent, only a few stubborn ones saying that we should ignore the facts. Is the Primordial Tianzun never wrong?"

Of course, the Five Elements Alliance also made a fair punishment for the matter of the Primordial Tianzun privately keeping spiritual servants, giving him a warning and deducting one month's salary.

At nine o'clock in the morning, figures appeared in the retro-style arena.

There was no opening speech today, and no need to make a covenant. After entering the venue, the official walkers tacitly looked for their friends and family, and the scene was noisy and chaotic.

Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a Silent Mask, finally found Lao Siji as he wished, and the Queen and Little Green Tea came to him on their own. Jiang Jingwei did not come to find the Primordial Tianzun today, and was mingling with her brother, Fire Prince.

"If there are no star-level figures on stage today, I will go back to sleep."

Zhang Yuanqing said, yawning.

Little Green Tea curiously asked, "Brother, what did you do last night?"

Nothing, just listened to the Demon Lord and Zhu Rong play poker for over half an hour," Zhang Yuanqing said, "Played games."

Little Green Tea nodded, satisfied with the answer.

"The people of the Taiyi Gate are watching you," Guan Ya suddenly said in a low voice.

Their position today was not far from the Taiyi Gate's venue, and they could see each other's faces clearly.

As a scout, Guan Ya was the first to notice the scrutiny from the Night Wanderers.

Zhang Yuanqing followed the sound and saw unfriendly gazes.

However, the famous saints like Yin Ji and the King of Fengdu did not pay attention to him.

Most of the Night Wanderers who resented him in the field were at the Transcendent stage.

"Huh."

Zhang Yuanqing saw Sun Miaomiao, who was surrounded by her fellow disciples, and was about to marvel at her beauty when he suddenly realized that the way this girl was looking at him was not quite right.

Her gaze was very complicated, if it had to be described, it was probably like Tom looking at Jerry, excitement mixed with drooling, and aggression mixed with full-on invasion.

"." Even the socially adept Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but look away, not daring to make eye contact with her.

What's wrong with this girl?

At this time, the armored swordsman appeared on stage, as usual, announcing the rules of the match. Immediately, the names of the opponents popped up in the field of vision of the spiritual realm walkers:

"Zhou Bapi VS Arrogant Youth"

"Tired of Love VS Only Drink Sweet Soy Milk"

"Long Qianyun VS The Girl Next Door"

"Land God VS Zhurong"

"Crossing the River Pawn VS Likes Handsome Guys"

There were still forty pairs, a total of eighty players, and today's matched star-level players were two people, the Land God ranked second in the Transcendent stage, and the Crossing the River Pawn ranked tenth.

Zhang Yuanqing's interest was suddenly piqued. The top three were the hot favorites for the championship, and the Land God, who ranked second, was known for his invincible defense, almost exhausting last year's champion to the point of admitting defeat.

For Zhang Yuanqing, he was undoubtedly a major enemy on the road to the championship.

He couldn't wait to see how durable the Land God really was.

As for the Crossing the River Pawn, Zhang Yuanqing was equally curious. This was a scout, and it was well known that the true eye of a Transcendent stage scout was formidable. How much combat power could a true eye have?

The Crossing the River Pawn was able to squeeze into the top ten among a group of strong individuals, so this person was definitely not simple.

After experiencing several relatively exciting battles, the Land God finally made his appearance."The fourth match, the Earth Deity versus Zhu Rong."

The armored swordsman stood in the center of the arena, announcing loudly.

As his voice faded, a fireball shot from the spectator stands, descending into the arena. Following that, the flames suddenly expanded, coalescing into a tall, resolute-faced young man.

His entrance was incredibly cool, earning a wave of cheers.

Zhang Yuanqing's gaze swept quickly across the crowd, eventually resting on an old man dressed in a leather jacket and pants, wearing black sunglasses, and with a cigar in his mouth.

This old man was like an elderly rock singer, exuding an air of rebelliousness and trendiness.

As soon as he entered, the cheering exploded, a testament to the popularity of this contestant.

'This isn't the white-bearded, kind-eyed Earth Deity I had in mind,' Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself with an internal complaint.

After both sides entered, the young man with the ID 'Zhu Rong' couldn't wait to say:

"Earth Deity, at this time last year, I was only a Level 2 Fire Master. I envied you as you dominated the arena. Now things are different, I'm Level 3 too, and I feel I can defeat you."

His pronunciation was odd, and his accent made it clear he came from a region where people often eat from the Fú Province.

The Earth Deity, with a cigar in his mouth, grumbled, "Bro, can you speak Mandarin?"

"I am speaking Mandarin."

The Earth Deity waved his hand dismissively, "Enough talk, let's get on with it."

True to his title as a Fire Master, upon hearing this, he wasted no words. Flames burst from his feet, propelling him like an arrow toward his opponent.

"Not bad, your fire control skills have reached a new level," the Earth Deity praised.

"There's even better to come." Zhu Rong growled, his fist igniting with intense flames, and he smashed a punch onto the Earth Deity's face.

But as his fist came within three feet of the trendy old man, it was blocked by a yellowish halo.

Bang, bang, bang. Zhu Rong, enveloped in flames, punched and kicked, attacking the barrier with all his might. Explosions of fire burst like grenades, creating a blasting effect.

The Earth Deity remained unmoved, his glasses not even askew.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong's expression changed slightly, and he said with a twist of respect:

"I have another move. Hmph, the Wood element overcomes Earth, you won't be able to withstand this."

With that, he summoned a green, vibrant wooden sword.

Bang, bang, bang. Zhu Rong swung the wooden sword, chopping and slashing around the Earth Deity with full confidence.

Minutes later, the Earth Deity still stood unshaken.

"Can't overcome?" Zhu Rong gritted his teeth, "I have one more trick."

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt dizzy and weak in his limbs.

The Earth Deity leisurely exhaled a puff of blue smoke, mimicking Zhu Rong's accent, "You think I'm holding a cigar to look cool like you young folks, huh? You're poisoned, kiddo. When you weren't even a Spirit Walker, I was already Level 3. How could you possibly beat me? Cover up!"

With a big move, he knocked out the poisoned Zhu Rong.

The armored swordsman announced loudly, "Victory to the Earth Deity!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, applauding the old man.

'So strong, such defense must be on par with the saints,' Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel disheartened.

In fact, the Fire Master wasn't weak; his attacks were swift and fierce. Fire Masters are known for their close-combat abilities among the order-aligned professions, but against the Earth Deity, he seemed rather ineffective.

Guan Ya turned her head to look at him, leaning in to whisper:

"Do you have an idea of his defense now? What do you think, do you have the confidence?"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head slightly, "I can't break through."

The Bloodthirsty Blade couldn't penetrate such a level of defense, and the Yin-Yang Robe couldn't counter the trendy old man. After much thought, the only strategy Zhang Yuanqing could come up with was—to play dirty!

Using the Red Dancing Shoes' pursuit effect to wear him down slowly.

And he, as the master, would use skills like Night Travel and Flame Jump to entangle.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

However, defense was just one of the Earth Deity's tactics. As an experienced Earth monster, he surely had other methods.

If the second-ranked is this strong, the first will only be more formidable, and the third won't be far behind.

Zhang Yuanqing felt an unprecedented pressure.

PS: Will correct typos later.
