When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Chuyu gave a low shout.

A golden sword, several meters long, slashed down at the dragon shadow once more.

The human face on the dragon's shadow no longer looked the same as before; its face was filled with undisguised fear.

But at this moment they are imprisoned by the golden light.

They were completely powerless to resist.

They could only watch helplessly as the sword light slashed down.

Boom—

An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion erupted on the subway.

The dragon's shadow began to tremble violently.

Click!Click!

Dense cracks began to appear all over the dragon's body.

It was almost just a blink of an eye.

It completely permeated its body.

boom!

Another explosive sound rang out.

The dragon shadow shattered completely.

Zhang Chuyu and Tang Qing'er leaped into the air.

Step out of the ghost subway.

Crunch! ! !

The moment they left.

The subway emitted a screeching sound, and sparks flew everywhere.

Like a ferocious beast driven to the brink of despair.

They gradually came to a stop inside the dark passage.

It's out...

It's really out!

Tang Qing'er smelled the metallic friction in the air.

Then he looked at the passageway in front of him.

I was in a state of extreme shock.

Golden light!

Such a strong golden light.

She subconsciously glanced at Zhang Chuyu, who was still radiating a terrifying golden light beside her.

powerful!

That attack was incredibly powerful.

Even she felt a suffocating terror.

This guy... is definitely more than just naturally gifted!

This is an existence beyond the innate.

No wonder he was so relaxed from beginning to end.

This is a complete game-changer!

only...

When did the Great Xia Dynasty produce another person at such a young age who has reached the Innate Realm?

"Host has defeated 1 Special Fusion Anomaly in the Subway, gaining 3000 Merit Points!"

At this moment, a system notification sounded in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

They actually gave me three thousand merits?

Zhang Chuyu looked at her system panel.

[Host]: Zhang Chuyu

[Destiny]: Dao Ancestor Destiny (Unique)

[Cultivation Level]: First Level of the Spirit Sea Realm

[Taoist Techniques]: Golden Light Divine Mantra (Perfect), Rebirth Mantra, Heavenly Record (Great Accomplishment), Shrinking Earth to an Inch Simplified Version (Max Level) (Note: Taoist technique levels are divided into: Beginner, Proficient, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Perfect)

[Merit]: 23500 (Merit can be redeemed for rewards in the system shop)

Merit points have reached 23,000.

Although this incident didn't yield much merit.

But at least there's a task to guarantee a minimum.

not bad.

"Let's go."

Zhang Chuyu stretched.

Today's tasks are complete.

I need to prepare for the start of school tomorrow, so I should go back.

He turned and left.

"Hello!"

Behind him.

Tang Qing'er watched Zhang Chuyu leave and couldn't help but speak up.

This guy!

Why are you walking so fast!

We were teammates just a moment ago!

Zhang Chuyu turned her head, somewhat puzzled.

"What's up?"

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Tang Qing'er, and I come from the Tang Clan in Sichuan. Thank you for your help earlier."

Tang Qing'er strode over to Zhang Chuyu's side and extended her hand to thank him.

They were quite polite.

Zhang Chuyu wasn't surprised, and he also extended his hand.

"Zhang Chuyu comes from Longhu Mountain."

"Longhu Mountain!?"

Upon hearing the name, Tang Qing'er thought about it carefully.

I think I've heard of it.

But it's not particularly famous.

I never expected that such a young Linghai would appear in such a place.

And... he's so handsome!

"Let's add each other as friends, I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

Tang Qing'er took out her phone.

Zhang Chuyu didn't refuse; whether or not she ate wasn't important.

This girl is the first kindred spirit I've encountered.

They have connections, unlike those who embark on spiritual practice halfway through their lives.

If there are any problems later.

Perhaps we can get some answers from her.

I checked Tang Qing'er's code.

We added each other as friends.

Tang Qing'er then smiled with relief.

"I didn't expect to actually solve this damn subway. It's a D+ rank mission in the Night Watchmen's mission, which means there are pretty good rewards."

She looked at Zhang Chuyu.

"Of course, you completed this task, so you should submit it."

submit?

Zhang Chuyu was dumbfounded.

I'll submit a damn thing.

Night Watchman?

What the hell is this?

But from Tang Qing'er's words...

He could tell.

This seems to be a place related to spiritual practitioners.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Qing'er looked at Zhang Chuyu, who hadn't moved for a long time.

Zhang Chuyu shook her head and told the truth.

"I don't know what you mean by 'submitting a task.' If it's useful to you, you can do it yourself."

"You don't know?" Tang Qing'er was even more surprised.

"....."

Damn, this Taoist priest has only been practicing for a week now.

Moreover, they were still in that small place called Tan City for the past few days, so it would be strange if they knew all this.

"I've been living in the mountains for a long time, so I don't really know much about these things."

"If you don't mind, you can tell me."

Zhang Chuyu also wanted to understand the current state of the world.

As strength increases.

He also knew that the world was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"I see. I'll submit the task now. Once the reward is issued, we'll split it 30/70, with you taking the lion's share."

Tang Qing'er seemed very happy.

I operated the phone for a few seconds and then took a picture of the collapsed ghost subway.

Finally, upload it.

Tang Qing'er then spoke as she walked.

"Our Great Xia has been a gathering place for extraordinary people since ancient times. Places like your Longhu Mountain and our Tang Clan have been passed down for thousands of years. We have many names, such as Qi Refiners, Alchemists, and Sorcerers."

"In the past, our sects developed independently until a hundred years ago, when the Great Xia calendar underwent another change."

"Of course, because so much time has passed, I'm not entirely sure what the changes were. All I know is that the resurgence of the vengeful ghosts occurred after this event."

"And in the last hundred years, a new, most powerful force has emerged in the entire cultivation world: the Mysterious Bureau!"

"This force was established by the state itself. Some people outside call them Institute 531, while others call them Bureau 749. But within our circle, we call them the Night Watchmen."

"Initially, the Night Watchmen were selected only by the official authorities. However, in recent decades, as the resurgence of demons has become more and more serious, after discussions between some bigwigs in the circle and the higher-ups of the Night Watchmen, it was decided that any cultivator could join the Night Watchmen circle."

"I am now a Level 3 Night Watchman."

"We are not subject to the control of the Bureau of the Strange and Mysterious, our sole responsibility is to slay demons and monsters, to guard the long night and protect the dawn for our Great Xia!"

Tang Qing'er said quite a lot in one breath.

After listening, Zhang Chuyu had a general understanding of the so-called Night Watchmen.

In summary, they are a group of...good people.

He thought of Sun Yuan and Zhang Qiang, whom he had met in Tan City before.

If nothing unexpected happens.

They must be the so-called official Night Watchmen of the Mysterious Bureau.
