At that moment, his phone rang. He put down his glass and lay down on the armchair. Li Dongze turned it on.

Someone tagged him in the chat group. The group’s name was “Spirit Realm Walker Management Group of the Kangyang District”.

As a first-tier metropolis, Songhai City had a total of sixteen districts. Each district had ten teams of Spirit Realm Walkers led by captains.

Li Dongze was the captain of Team Two. In the White Tiger Soldier’s system, he was considered their chief.

The captains’ immediate superiors were deacons. There were three deacons in the Kangyang District.

Above the deacons were the elders. The elders usually did not care about anything. Spirit Realm Walkers of this level were elusive.

Above the elders were the leaders of the Five Elements Alliance—the five alliance masters.

The five alliance masters were legendary figures that Li Dongze had never seen before. He only knew that the marshal of his White Tiger Soldiers and the palace master of the Water God Palace were both women.

In private, the Five Elements Alliance called these two alliance masters the Peerless Duo.

There were a total of fourteen people in the Spirit Realm Walker Management Group of the Kangyang District. There were ten captains, three deacons, and a Night Wanderer captain of the Supreme Solitary Sect.

Big Muscle: “@Li Dongze, I heard you’ve recruited a Night Wanderer?”

How did he know… Li Dongze frowned and replied.

“None of your business!”

Among the five elements, fire countered metal. The Scouts of the White Tiger Soldiers generally hated the Fire Masters of the Crimson Fire Gang. They felt that they were rough and irritable and could not think before speaking.

What? Li Dongze had recruited a Night Wanderer?!

The captains in the group perked up like sharks smelling blood.

Green Vine said, “Night Wanderer? Where has Chief Li been recently? He actually recruited a Night Wanderer. I’m envious.”

White Dragon: “In the entire Songhai City, excluding itinerant cultivators, there don’t seem to be more than ten official Night Wanderers, right? They’re all from the Supreme Solitary Sect.”

Floater: “Li Dongze, what kind of luck do you have? I’m so jealous.”

Three captain-level figures suddenly appeared.

[Tang Guoqiang sent some red packets.]

The red packets were instantly snatched up.

Li Dongze instinctively snatched the red packet and realized that everyone else got more than a hundred, while he got only a dollar.

Tang Guoqiang said, “Chief Li is so lucky.”

There was a flurry of ‘thank you, boss’ emoticons at the bottom.

Tang Guoqiang was also a captain, but at the same time, he was also the boss of the construction team company. He was wealthy and did not like to talk. He would give red packets if there was anything worth his attention.

Even this big boss had appeared over the subject of the Night Wanderer.

Fist King: “What kind of memory do you have? Have you forgotten the agreement between the Five Elements Alliance and the Supreme Solitary Sect? The Supreme Solitary Sect will take priority in recruiting the Night Wanderer.”

The White Dragon said, “Brother Fist, you’re the one with a bad memory. Have you forgotten our Centurion Fu? With his relationship with the Supreme Solitary Sect, it’s not a problem for him to keep a Night Wanderer.”

Fist King fell silent.

The few captains were jealous. Be it the scarcity of the Night Wanderer or this class’s potential, it was far stronger than other classes. If he was nurtured well, he would be a capable general in the future.

Green Vine said, “By the way, it’s been a long time since our group was formed. Why don’t we set a time to gather?”

White Dragon said, “Yo, yo, the women of the Hundred Flowers Association are ready to seduce me again? But I have no objections.”

Floater: “It just so happens that we’re not going out to sea recently. It’s fine to get together. Chief Li, I’ve been wanting to drink with you for a long time. Call that Night Wanderer along.”

Tang Guoqiang said, “Team building is a good idea. Let’s get together. Li Dongze snatched my red packet, so I’ll take it that you’ve agreed.”

The corner of Li Dongze’s mouth twitched. He was already in a bad mood. He sent a message and scolded, “I see shamelessness in your words, greed, and the sinister intent of poaching. I must have been cursed by the Spirit Society recently. Such bad luck.”

Big Muscle: “Subtle bragging?”

Floater said, “I want this bad luck too.”

At this moment, the Night Wanderer from the Supreme Solitary Sect appeared.

Yuan Ting: “We don’t want that Night Wanderer. Have you forgotten that the Qingming Festival had just passed a while ago?”

Green Vine asked, “What do you mean?”

Yuan Ting said, “Li Dongze recruited a Night Wanderer. The trial mission is the She Ling Tunnel.”

The group instantly fell silent.

Although they were not Night Wanderers, as the Official Spirit Realm Walkers of Songhai City, they still knew a little about the famous She Ling Tunnel.

White Dragon said, “He can’t be that unlucky.”

Yuan Ting said, “In order to save that poor guy, Centurion Fu specially asked our Elder Sun for detailed information about the She Ling Tunnel yesterday.”

Big Muscle: “Uh… Is there a need to save him? Since the last century, no newbie has been able to clear the She Ling Tunnel. Li Dongze, you’re really pitiful. I can imagine your expression when you heard that the Trial Spirit Realm of the target is the She Ling Tunnel.”

Fire Masters always spoke their mind.

Do you want to fight?!

At his desk, Li Dongze almost grabbed his cane and rushed out of his office to fight this guy one-on-one.

He quickly took a deep breath and repeated in his heart: Elegance, elegance…

Floater said, “We suddenly received an order. We have to run boats this month. Let’s forget about the team building.”

Tang Guoqiang said, “What a pity.”

Green Vine said, “Understood, what a pitiful rookie.”

The brazen Fire Master, Big Muscle, pinged Li Dongze again.

“You caused Centurion Fu to waste a favor. Did you get scolded?”

Li Dongze said, “Shut up. One more word and I’ll go to the gym and blow your head off.”

How infuriating.

After all, the Supreme Solitary Sect and the Five Elements Alliance were two different organizations. They did not share information with each other. Centurion (Deacon) Fu had to spend a favor to get information from the Supreme Solitary Sect.

Big Muscle: “You can’t beat me.”

The other captains didn’t respond. They didn’t seem to care anymore.

At this moment, Fu Qingyang, one of the three deacons, sent a message: “Are you guys very free? Do you need to be thrown back into training camp?”

Li Dongze and Big Muscle immediately fell silent.

After a few seconds, Fu Qingyang sent another message: “Since he’s already been hired, he’s my soldier. The White Tiger Soldiers won’t give up on any of our colleagues. This is our belief. It has nothing to do with his value.”

Li Dongze sighed. He had indeed messed up this matter. Centurion Fu would not say anything, but who knew if this leader was disappointed in him?

….

At 10:30 PM, Zhang Yuanqing locked the door to his room, tied his shoelaces, and drank two large glasses of water.

Then he uncapped the pill bottle and put five small blue pills in his mouth.

Then, he lay on the bed and silently waited for the Spirit Realm to open.

Time passed. After about ten minutes, Zhang Yuanqing heard a cold voice in his head:

[Spirit Realm is being activated…]

[Ding, the Spirit Realm map has been activated. Welcome to the “Night Wanderer—She Ling Tunnel”, No. 0079.]

The ceiling distorted like water disturbed by the wind. When the image replied, Zhang Yuanqing found himself in the dim candlelight of the main hall.
