Chapter 33: The Fallen Grail
Villa second floor, small conference room.
The sun was setting in the west, and the blood-red residual sunlight was projected through the glass windows and onto the floor of the conference room, the white wool carpet tinted with a crystalline red.
Li Dongze, Qingteng, White Dragon, Tang Guoqiang, and Big Muscle Buster ...... Several captain-level figures, sitting upright at the conference table, almost all of the Spirit Realm Walker captain-level figures from the Kangyang District who could be present, had come.
In addition to the captains of the Five Elements Alliance, Yuan Ting, who had just returned from the capital, also attended the meeting.
Li Dongze, who was a scout, keenly noticed Yuan Ting's poor mental state and frowned:
"Are you injured?"
Pale-faced Yuan Ting weakly reclined on the back of his chair, resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and upon hearing this, he opened his eyes and said with a calm demeanor:
"No, it's just that this time when I went to the capital, Elder Sun paid extremely close attention to me, believing that I will be the mainstay of the Taiyi Sect in the future, and had to personally train me. The training was excessive, so I'm not in good shape."
The crowd stood in awe.
Fu Qingyang glanced at him, not commenting, and said with a straight face:
"Getting down to business, what did Yuan Shi see in Ou Xiangrong's memories that made you rush over here."
The several captains immediately cast stony gazes towards Li Dongze.
This fellow had exited the morgue and without any further ado, he summoned the group to rush over here to the Centurion, saying that there was a major event.
When he was asked what the matter was, he didn't say, making people anxious and distraught.
Li Dongze coughed and looked around the table at the crowd, "Our night wanderer learned from Ou Xiangrong's memories what the Holy Grail really is, it is a prop of the Guile Eyed Judge, and its full name is the Fallen Grail."
"The Guile Eyed Judge ...... Fallen Holy Grail?"
The captains on both sides of the conference table couldn't help but look at each other with a mixture of gravity and bewilderment in their expressions.
The Guile Eyed Judge was the Vice President of the Spiritual Energy Society, Eastern Region Chapter.
The Spiritual Energy Society, a notorious evil organization amongst the Spirit Realm Walkers, consisted of a group of powerful and crazy voodoo and compulsion masters, and Judge Guile Eyes, the vice president of the Eastern District Chapter, was ranked eighth in the Five Elements Alliance's bounty list, and was the kind of powerful person who could move mountains and fill up oceans.
I didn't expect that Ou Xiangrong's case would involve a figure of this level.
As for the bewilderment, it was because they hadn't heard of this prop, the Fallen Chalice.
"Ou Xiangrong is looking for the Guile Eye Judge's prop?" Big Muscle Buster frowned and had something to say, "That kid's brain has really gone out of whack ah."
A mere Demon of Compulsion of the Transcendent Realm dared to covet the props of a high-level Spirit Realm walker.
The crowd ignored Big Muscle Buster's words and looked at Fu Qingyang.
Fu Qingyang was silent for a few seconds, rare gravity in his tone, "Next, I will disclose a piece of information to you guys, but with your rank you are not qualified to know this level of information, so out of this door, all rot in your stomachs for me."
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but straighten their backs and set their faces straight.
"The Fallen Chalice is a rule-based prop of the Witchfinder profession at an extremely high level, and it serves to control Spirit Realm Walkers. The Witch-eyed Judge utilized this prop to enslave many Spirit Realm Walkers of other professions. A large portion of the "degenerates" we deal with every year are created by Judge Guiye. According to the intelligence, once contaminated by the Fallen Grail, they will be enslaved by Judge Guile Eyes for the rest of their lives, and there is no way to get rid of them other than death.
"In addition, the contaminated person will have to be baptized with the Holy Grail every once in a while, or else they will go insane in their mind and die."
Li Dongze let out a "hmm" and took over the conversation, "Ou Xiangrong is the slave of the Guile Eye Judge."
In that case, things made sense, and the captains were enlightened.
White Dragon nodded at first, then frowned:
"What does this have to do with him killing Zhao Yingjun? Besides, it's not a big deal, is it?"
"Zhao Yingjun was also a slave of Judge Creepy Eyes, and he lurked in the Five Elements Alliance, ostensibly as an advisor to the Public Security Department, secretly and secretly helping Judge Creepy Eyes find new recruits for the tiger." Li Dongze paused for a moment, and in an incomparably serious tone, said:
"Not long ago, Judge Creepy Eyes suddenly perished, and his beloved Black Impermanence hid with the Holy Grail, as well as the roster containing information on the identities of the Fallen. Now, not only Fallen Ones like Ou Xiangrong, but the other vice president of the Spiritual Energy Society's Eastern District Chapter, the Compass King, and his subordinate forces are all searching for Black Impermanence.
"After Black Impermanence gets the roster, he will definitely contact these degenerates to receive the legacy of the Guile Eyed Judge, and Zhao Yingjun's undercover identity is very important, and it's highly likely that he has already gotten in touch with Black Impermanence, so Ou Xiangrong wants to find out Black Impermanence's whereabouts through Zhao Yingjun here."
This ...... The crowd's minds went blank.
The Eerie Eyes Judge was a High Grade Spirit Realm Walker, such a big shot, but he had died?
The impact of this piece of information was so great that even the calmest Fu Qingyang's complexion froze for a moment.
In the suffocating silence, Fu Qingyang knocked on the table and stared:
"There are a large number of degenerates in the Eerie Eye Judge's roster, Black Impermanence took the roster and the Holy Grail with him and hid, it is impossible for him to receive all of the "slaves", and mentally deranged maniacs like Ou Xiangrong are by no means an exception."
Li Dongze let out a bitter smile, "So it's the big one."
The captains were in a heavy mood.
Fu Qingyang said:
"Black Impermanence is hiding in the Songhai, the next Songhai will not be calm, I will report the news to the Elder Council as soon as possible, so that they can notify their peers everywhere, in case the Fallen One gets out of control.
"Starting today, cancel everyone's vacation, no shutdowns 24 hours a day, standby at all times."
The captains of the crowd nodded their heads with a heavy heart.
Fu Qingyang sank his face and said:
"For this incident, I'm going to criticize all of you for being slack, lax, and lacking vigilance."
Then, his face turned soft and said:
"In the Ou Xiangrong incident, Yuan Shi Tianzun took great credit, from killing Ou Xiangrong to asking the spirits and finding out that the Guile Eyed Judge perished, it was all his work. A group of experienced old men are inferior to a novice, as your superior, I feel ashamed."
Li Dongze and the others looked ashamed.
Huh? What? The one who killed Ou Xiangrong, the Demon of Compulsion, was that newbie Nightwalker?
Yuan Ting froze as he looked left and right and couldn't help but raise his hand, "Centurion Fu, are you saying that that Level 1 Night Prowler of Li Shishang killed Ou Xiangrong?"
Li Dongze quietly puffed out his chest and raised his chin.
Big Muscle Buster lamented, "That kid is extremely talented in combat, his future achievements are unlimited, he might be able to rise to the Saint realm and become a deacon level figure."
The several captains nodded slightly, agreeing with him.
Captain Qingteng explained, "He was the first to discover Ou Xiangrong's trail and decisively attacked, ending the battle by the time we rushed over. Although Ou Xiangrong was already injured and was mostly disoriented, it was still not easy to kill him."
This, what kind of genius is this ....... Yuan Ting froze for a few seconds, then his heart ached so much that it was hard to breathe.
Elder Sun is confused!
Fu Qingyang didn't let the topic continue and faintly said:
"Dismiss the meeting."
Several of Li Dongze got up and left their seats.
Yuan Ting, however, did not leave, and when the captains exited the meeting room, he suppressed the churning regret and chagrin and spoke:
"Centurion Fu, there is something I need your help with."
Fu Qingyang looked at him.
Yuan Ting explained, "This time, the Sect Master summoned us to the capital to announce a confidential news ..... The Demon Lord is dead."
Fu Qingyang froze, then that sculpted handsome face was covered with shock, even the death of the Guile Eyes Judge had not caused him to experience such drastic emotional fluctuations.
Demon Monarch, an ID that made all official Spirit Realm walkers scared, he was a fallen night wanderer with a vicious, brutal temperament, bloodthirsty, and because of his proficiency in assassination and stealth, countless Spirit Realm walkers had died in his hands.
During the Demon Lord's most arrogant period, the elders of the official organization had to tremble and keep a low profile, not daring to expose themselves in reality.
And the evil organizations equally loathed this man, because the Demon Monarch killed without fear, and the righteous and evil paths were stewed in one pot.
It wasn't until early last year when he encountered the female marshal of the White Tiger Soldiers in the high-level Confrontation Spirit Realm, and was heavily injured by that amazing woman, that he disappeared.
"Then?" Fu Qingyang resumed his indifference.
"The Sect Master gave us a mission to find the Devil Sovereign's heir, starting from two months ago until the end of this year, all the newcomers who became Night Travelers are the target of our screening." Yuan Ting said.
Fu Qingyang frowned, "Even if a lucky person gets a Demon Monarch character card, it has nothing to do with the Demon Monarch. Why did your Sect Master find him, don't tell me it's to cherish talent."
After a Spirit Realm Walker died, the Spirit Realm would empty all of the character's "data" and find a new owner for the character card.
When a high-ranked Spirit Realm Walker perished, something would remain when the role card was formatted, perhaps some sort of perk, perhaps some sort of permission.
This kind of role card was inherently stronger than an ordinary role card.
However, in Fu Qingyang's opinion, this point of specialness was not enough to make the Taiyi Sect Master make such a big deal out of it, knowing that even the Demon Monarch himself was of a lower rank than that Strongest Night Wanderer of the world.
Yuan Ting shook his head: ''How would I know, just following orders. There are only four novices in Songhai who have been promoted to Night Traveling God this year, one died in the Spirit Realm, two joined the Taiyi Sect and were sent to the training camp. The last one is the one under Li Dongze's hand, I want to do a questioning on him."
Fu Qingyang gazed at Yuan Ting, his dark brown eyes sharp and deep.
Yuan Ting stiffly met his gaze.
"You can, but no matter what the outcome is, you have to tell me first, and you are not allowed to bring it to the capital privately."
.......
In front of the desk, Zhang Yuanqing opened his computer, pondered for a long time, and shouted:
"Sister Guanya, how should I write the report?"
Guanya lowered her head to brush the drama and responded perfunctorily, "Didn't I send you the template, write it accordingly."
"It's not the format, it's the content ......" Zhang Yuanqing looked worried.
He now had to write a report on killing Ou Xiangrong, and what made him difficult was that if the presence of the Red Dancing Shoes was hidden, it would be difficult for him to portray the process of killing Ou Xiangrong in a self-explanatory manner.
After all, it wasn't something that could be glossed over with a sentence or two.
"Aiya, you're annoying." Guanya lightly turned her office chair and turned back, snapping, "How do you want to write it?"
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "I want to reasonably highlight the fact that I relied on my King's Bully Qi to shock Ou Xiangrong, and then with my superb skill and wise mind, I fought the Demon of Compulsion for 300 rounds, and finally decapitated this demon that almost set off a bloody storm in Songhai."
The mixed-blood imperial sister rolled her eyes:
"Instead of reasonably highlighting these non-existent things, why not unreasonably lower Ou Xiangrong's IQ. You acted like you had a quick wit in the garage, why are you being stupid now?"
Ah yes, Ou Xiangrong is already mentally unbalanced and seriously injured, to what extent, outsiders don't know, I can describe it as I please, anyway, it's impossible for him to rise up from the coffin to defend himself ....... Zhang Yuanqing s eyes lit up:
"I see, thank you Sister Guanya."
He immediately started tapping on the keyboard, describing Ou Xiangrong's insanity and irrationality, and at the same time, he had already made a decision on how to deal with the "Bloodthirsty Blade".
The function of the Mortar and Pestle was more oriented towards purification and demon suppression than melee combat, and the Bloodthirsty Blade certainly made up for this shortcoming.
With its bleeding and armor breaking effects, it was a perfect match for the Night Wanderer's assassin attributes.
The only thing to consider is anemia.
When my experience value comes up and my ability improves, the Nightwalker's strong vitality and self-healing power should be able to support two props at the same time ....... Mortar and pestle to destroy demons and blade to cut down berserkers, it's still great to think about ....... After Zhang Yuanqing finished writing the report and sent it to Li Dongze's mailbox, he asked:
"When will my reward for clearing the She Spirit Tunnel, as well as this reward, come down?"
"Your merit needs to be approved by the Elder Council, and the same goes for the funds mobilization, which will probably be paid out along with next month's salary." Guanya smiled and said, "Why, are you in a hurry to treat your sister to dinner? Well, I want to eat abalone, sea cucumber, roast duck, imported ham, and special steak ......."
No, it's too expensive, I can only treat you to pancake nuts with a sausage and two eggs ....... Zhang Yuanqing said in his heart.
He looked at the time, it was already 2:30 pm, so he planned to go home.
"Where did the Shishu and the other captains go?" Before leaving, Zhang Yuanqing asked.
After learning about Ou Xiangrong's memories, Li Dongze very ungracefully left in a hurry with the captains without leaving any explanation.
"Meeting."
Guanya held her cell phone and leaned back in her chair, sticking out her proud career line as she laughed:
"The large meetings and mid-level meetings of the Spirit Realm Walkers in Kang Yang District are usually held at Centurion Fu, so when you've been in for more than half a year and have deeper seniority, you'll be able to go there and have some fun."
"What's the fun in that, I hate meetings the most." Zhang Yuanqing was not interested.
Guanya blinked her eyes and revealed the smile of an old Siji, "There are a lot of pretty bunny girls there."
Zhang Yuanqing had a fascinated look on his face, "I really want to get involved in the organization's meetings earlier and add to the organization's construction."
