The villa's rooftop, Zhang Yuanqing drew out the Da Luo Xing Pan, channeling pure stellar energy into it. A flowing cascade of starlight covered the pan, causing the stars engraved upon its surface to glow, projecting the celestial constellations into his mind. With his star-eyed gaze, he pierced through the dense cloud cover and saw a black velvet night sky, densely studded with brilliant stars—ancient yet ever-changing. These stars symbolized the seasons, the cycles of the four seasons, and the unfolding processes of all things in the world. By understanding them, one could uncover the secrets of the universe. "The impact of the port battle on me..." he murmured, repeating the words over and over. Soon, the celestial patterns in his mind began to flicker in sync with the starry river above, with stars shifting and constellations unfolding. After about a minute, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes, drawing a sharp breath—uncertain whether to feel elated or troubled, whether to continue wearing the Juming costume or to swiftly switch to a more modest, defensive strategy. The astrological indications show significant gains in both reputation and wealth, particularly in wealth—this is not merely financial, but rather refers to something of profound personal value. Regarding reputation, he will become a prominent figure within orderly organizations over the coming period, enjoying benefits such as romantic opportunities, financial prosperity, and an expanding network of connections. Specifically, in terms of romantic prospects, the Red Phoenix star shines brightly, suggesting a level of charm where he may find himself surrounded by numerous admirers—like having thousands of beautiful women at his side, yet with a certain lack of depth, indicating fleeting encounters rather than deep, lasting relationships. These are not serious romantic attachments, thus excluding figures such as Sun Miaomiao or the Palace Mistress. The brilliance of the Red Phoenix star implies that either the number of such encounters will be substantial or their quality exceptionally high. As an accomplished celestial official, Zhang Yuanqing interprets this as follows: over the coming period, he will engage in content that requires a paid viewing relationship with either Winnie or Dora. Beyond these two, he cannot think of anyone else—certainly not Fu Xue. These are indeed encouraging benefits. As fortune and misfortune are interdependent, the celestial charts indicate that if he continues to wear the Juming persona, he will remain perpetually under threat of destruction and warfare throughout future conflicts. The malevolent faction will not spare him and is likely to dispatch a master to hunt him down. Zhang Yuanqing currently holds the strength of a mid-to-late-stage Level 7 Master, with a solid capability; however, should he face opponents at the late Level 7 stage, especially those equipped with one or two master-level artifacts, he will likely suffer defeat in the northwest. "First, let's see what rewards the current celestial punishment offers—according to the star charts, this will be something truly valuable to me." Moreover, he has the advantage of the Tiantian Master persona, enabling him to monitor the developments within the Free Alliance. Should he need to stay longer, he can simply spend more nights with Catherine—after all, he has already spent one, and one night is no different from countless nights. At this moment, his phone chimes twice, signaling incoming messages. One message came from Guan Ya, informing him that the pursuit campaign had concluded. Among the peak cultivators of the evil faction, only Jiwei and Tongtian Jiaguo had escaped; all others were eliminated. None of the ordinary cultivators managed to flee, though these ordinary cultivators were all from the second major region—meaning the second major region’s support unit was completely wiped out. The lawful cultivators of the defensive faction have now withdrawn from Xin Yue Port and are returning to Tianfa to await further orders. "But Winny herself had made preparations, enlisted some allies—well, one couldn't underestimate any Sovereign. Moreover, since the single-legacy knight is part of the Divine Judgment branch, I no longer need to visit Winny's grandfather's estate." He instantly transformed into a streak of starlight and vanished from the suburban villa. He landed nearby the bank building, slipped into the blind spot of the surveillance cameras, stepped into view, and then sprinted toward the bank building with clear purpose, heading directly to Winny's office. The office lights were bright; the circuits previously damaged by electromagnetic waves from the thunderstorm had been restored. Zhang Yuanqing knocked on the door of the chief prosecutor's office, quickly scanned the room, and noticed Winny sitting at her desk with a vacant expression. A single knight in a black sable coat stood with hands folded by the floor-to-ceiling window. The Lady of the Palace lay lounging lazily on the long sofa in the reception area, propping her elbow on the armrest and resting her chin, appearing as if she had been sitting idle for a long time. Upon hearing the door open, Winny slightly turned her head. "Is it Jumu? How did the battle at the port go? What about casualties?" "The evil faction is nearly wiped out—only the cocktail and the Celestial Master managed to escape. I defeated Tiphros. The combat among the rulers remains unclear," Zhang Yuanqing said. Defeated Tiphros... Winny paused for a few seconds, and for Tifeos is gone! The legendary saint of the New Covenant Province has passed away so unexpectedly. When Viny was in her saintly stage, she had faced off against Tifeos directly. As a top-tier prodigy within the lawful order, she consistently outperformed him, yet never managed to defeat him. It was Jumang who accomplished what Viny could not—killing Tifeos. Jumang didn't elaborate much on this, but Viny knew that the evil faction had clearly identified her and Jumang as their primary targets, and thus must have prepared specific tools or consumables for the master stage. Under these circumstances, Jumang's ability to defeat Tifeos is truly astonishing. He's even stronger than she anticipated. Winny exhaled gently, her poised expression brightening into a smile. "You've done an excellent job! With tonight's events, the Saint's War is officially concluded, and the faction conflicts in the New Covenant Province have now entered the decisive phase of dominance battles." Tiphys, Hecate, and Bacchus returned to the spiritual realm one after another, significantly reducing the number of peak Saints in the Evil faction. Although there are still many peak Saints in Europe and other regions of the Free Federation, the Evil faction will no longer send Saints to die in vain. With the war now fully underway, even if the Evil faction wishes to seek peace, the Lawful faction will not agree. The fate of the Dominants is now sealed. "Minister Winny, what are your plans next?" Zhang Yuanqing asked promptly. "I've already sent an email to headquarters, detailing the course of Channing Lu's defection. This afternoon, a headquarters commissioner will arrive in the New Covenant Province to fill the gap in Dominant strength." Once Sean Mede returns and hands over Channing Lu to him, I'll go to my grandfather's place and hide there for five days, until the cost of my blindness passes," Winny said. So urgent? Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Why not wait until the specialist arrives before going home?" He was worried that Sean Mede would take credit away from Winny. The guardian of the Stop-Killing Palace, lying on the sofa, suddenly chuckled, "Because the specialist sent by the Heaven's Punishment Headquarters is Kristi Gustav." The single-legacy knight added, "Winny's rival." Zhang Yuanqing gave a thoughtful "Ah," as if meaningfully, "So he doesn't want to see her." Winny, seated behind the desk, had prominent veins rising on her smooth forehead, her delicate face as if coated in frost. The single-legacy knight stepped away from the window and approached, extending his hand, "Long time a fan of yours! I'm the Immortal Sword Saint." ...Zhang Yuanqing grasped his hand, "I'm Zhai Cai." "At one moment, he doubted that Zhai Cai had seen through his disguise and recognized Jun Mang as the Immortal Sword Sage—but upon sensing the other's emotional state, he realized it was just a superficial effort. "Do you want to see me?" Zhai Cai said plainly. Zhang Yuanqing didn't waste time either. "I represent Master Fu Qingyang and would like to discuss a business with you." Fu Qingyang... Zhai Cai narrowed his eyes, already sensing a sense of anticipation. "The Church's Treasure Vault?" "Exactly," Zhang Yuanqing nodded, only to be interrupted by Zhai Cai. "Wait—such an important business deal, isn't it better to discuss it in front of others?" He gestured toward Wei Ni, indicating the presence of a third party, then loudly declared, "Minister Wei Ni, I'm referring to the musician in the red dress." If Wei Ni could see, she would surely have no choice but to give him a good scolding! Zhang Yuanqing pulled out two pairs of black headphones from his inventory. "Put them on and communicate." Zhai Cai took the headset with curiosity and put it on, soon hearing the voice of Ju Mang: "The headset can convert your thoughts into spoken words. Whatever you think, I'll hear it." "An interesting piece of equipment!" Zhai Cai thought to himself. "Go on, tell me how Fu Qingyang would like to collaborate—let me hear it first." "Mr. Zhai," Zhang Yuanqing gazed at him steadily, "before we proceed with the collaboration, I'd like to confirm one matter with you. Do you happen to have the map of the Church's treasure?"
