"Monster." Zhongli Tingzhou's light voice came from the holographic screen along with the monster's explosion.

Of course he knew that it was a monster, and Gao Han wanted to know why this thing existed.

"Could it be that the recent frequent incidents in Qing City are all related to this thing?" Gao Han suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Did you come to Qing City for this thing as well?"

"Oh my god, you actually found out." Zhongli Tingzhou's handsome face seemed to glow with a hint of magic on the holographic screen.

"Why does Qing City have this thing?" Gao Han asked again.

Zhongli Tingzhou casually killed the monsters that kept swarming out while answering his question, "There are monsters all over the world."

“Where did these things come from?”

"Something..."

"It's not the time for me to know yet, right?" Zhongli Tingzhou had just started when he was interrupted by Gao Han.

Zhongli Tingzhou looked straight into Gao Han's eyes. There always seemed to be a layer of frost in his eyes that would not melt easily.

Even though he agreed to live in the apartment so easily, he was actually very wary, which could be seen from many small actions.

But given his personality, it would be abnormal for him not to be on guard.

Gao Han didn't wait for him to speak, and was the first to look away, looking at the monster still wreaking havoc behind him. It seemed that he was the only one nearby.

Zhongli Tingzhou gently touched his face with his slender fingers, and his dark eyes shone through his fingers, then disappeared in an instant and he laughed softly.

"Some things can't be explained in a few words. I'll tell you in detail when I get back."

After Zhongli Tingzhou finished speaking, a person appeared behind him. He was dressed in black like him, but the difference was that he had a sinister aura and did not look like a normal spirit refiner.

When comparing the two, there is still a clear difference.

Gao Han knew that he had misunderstood. Zhongli Tingzhou was facing a powerful enemy at the moment, and it was easy for him to be distracted when communicating with him. No wonder he wanted to tell him later.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up now."

Without waiting for Zhongli Tingzhou to respond, he cut off the communication.

Zhongli Tingzhou stared at the void where Gao Han's figure disappeared, put down his wrist, and turned to face the demon cultivator who was surrounded by several monsters.

"Hehehe, God is actually good to me and has sent me another spirit refiner to eat." A scarlet tongue stretched out from the demon cultivator's mouth. It was longer than that of an ordinary person's, and the tongue and red lips showed an evil smile.

Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled and tilted his head slightly to one side. If the demon cultivator could see, he would be able to see his pupils, and even the whites of his eyes turned a rich black. "Yes, there is food again."

Zhongli Tingzhou walked out of the darkness, and the pure spiritual energy on his body changed in an instant. The rolling black energy was no less than that of the demon cultivator, and even purer.

"You..." The demon cultivator's face changed, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly turned pale, "Could it be... that you are... the person in the rumors?"

"Who knows who you are talking about? Now that you have met him, don't leave." Zhongli Tingzhou sighed.

Ten minutes later, Zhongli Tingzhou took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, held the candy in his mouth, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Half an hour later, when the people from the Soul Refining Organization arrived here, the battle was already over.

The surroundings were in a mess, but like the previous incidents, it did not alarm the nearby people.

"Brother Cao, we were dealt with by the other party one step ahead of us again." The young man with dyed green hair showed a look of annoyance.

The Cao brother he mentioned had a serious expression on his face. "I saw it. They, or whoever this person is, always manage to be one step ahead of us."

“It’s impossible for one person to set up such a large barrier without alerting the residents around.” The green-haired young man felt that his boss overestimated “one person” a bit. It could not only be a demon cultivator, but also those filthy things.

"No matter who they are, we must first find out their purpose. Are they pure demon hunters or do they have other intentions?" Brother Cao said with a frown. "Our superiors have already explained this matter."

"If it's a demon hunter, wouldn't it be easy to find? Just check if the bounty has been claimed." The green-haired young man thought this was a very simple matter.

"If things are really as you said, then it's simple. The question is, after these incidents, have you seen the monster's corpse?"

The green-haired young man's face changed, "It seems that I haven't seen a single corpse of a monster, but the corpse of the demon cultivator is still there."

"That's right. We need to find out what the other party is doing with the monster's corpse." Brother Cao said as he checked the situation around him.

"Brother Cao, there is something I don't understand. Although those evil demons have appeared in Qing City before, they have never been so frequent. Is there something that attracts them to Qing City?"

Brother Cao straightened his face and said, "This is not something you should know for the time being."

When the green-haired young man saw that his boss was serious, he knew he couldn't get anything out of him, so he just shut up.

The two searched around the battle area, but apart from the demon cultivators, they didn't find any monsters. The air was filled with a strong evil smell, so it was impossible that there were no monsters. Why did the other party take the monsters away?

…

Zhongli Tingzhou returned to the apartment. Gao Han had not yet gone to bed. He was fiddling with the magic weapon of Chen Mingde's eldest daughter. When he saw him, he did not ask about the monster.

It was not until the two of them returned to their room and Gao Han was about to go to bed that Zhongli Tingzhou, who was sleeping on the floor beside the bed, suddenly stretched out a foot and touched him.

"You're not going to ask me anymore?"

"You talk, and I listen." Gao Han rested his head on the pillow, but there was actually no sleepiness in his eyes. He found that he knew too little about this world.

Zhongli Tingzhou would have guessed what he was thinking, otherwise he would not have brought it up on his own initiative.

"Everything in the world has a fundamental opposite. Where there is black, there is white. Where there is light, there is darkness."

Gao Han turned his head to look at Zhongli Tingzhou lying on the ground. The moonlight from outside the window poured in, half of which fell on him. The whole person seemed to be split into two, half of which was in darkness.

"What about you?"

Gao Han suddenly understood why he could not figure out Zhongli Tingzhou, because he always gave him the feeling of being both good and evil. Some people could tell what kind of person he was from his body language, but he could not.

Every time he felt that Zhongli Tingzhou should be on the side of the light, his behavior gave him the feeling that he was a person walking in darkness, which was very contradictory.

"Do you think there is absolute black and white?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked back.

Gao Han thought for a moment and said, "No."

Zhongli Tingzhou's words made him involuntarily recall some past events. In fact, he had thought about this problem a long time ago.

He knows a person who can harm even a child, but at the same time, he can show love to a stray kitten passing by, buy it food and find it a warm home.

They are all a collection of contradictions.

When Gao Han said this, he did not look at Zhongli Tingzhou.

Therefore, no one noticed that his slowly smiling expression seemed to hide thousands of stars in his eyes, which seemed to be glowing.

"Since spirit refiners possess powerful strength beyond that of humans, they are destined to be born with responsibilities and obligations." When talking about the words responsibilities and obligations, Zhongli Tingzhou's tone was sarcastic.

"Those monsters?" Gao Han said.

"No, that's just incidental."

Gao Han: “…”

He always thought it was because Zhongli Tingzhou had an expression that said, "I'm about to start preaching."

"The real enemy of mankind is not monsters or evil cultivators, but enemies in the deep sea. Do you know why there are still so many spirit cultivators on Earth in the Dharma Ending Age?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked with interest.

Gao Han shook his head.

"That is because of God's mercy."

The tone was unfathomable, but without much respect. It was more of a mockery, Gao Han thought.

However, his words also solved two doubts he had when he first arrived.

Gao Han has read a lot of information and found that there is not much spiritual energy on Earth in the Dharma Ending Age. Not to mention the development of the weapon maker industry, even ordinary spirit refiners cannot prosper. Without spiritual energy, even the lowest level of the fifth grade cannot be supported.

There is another doubt, which is the destruction of the earth. Maybe it is related to the enemies in the deep sea, but the details are not what he needs to worry about now.

"Become stronger." Zhongli Tingzhou opened his eyes, light reflecting, and looked at Gao Han. His smile was not very bright, but seemed like he was expecting something.

The bedroom became quiet.

Just when Zhongli Tingzhou thought Gao Han would not speak again, he spoke.

"I want to kill someone."

Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "The Netherworld?"

Gao Han was not surprised that he would guess it. He hummed and said, "Since his existence threatens me, I want to get rid of him before he takes action."

"There is another reason. He also threatens your friends." Zhongli Tingzhou's mouth curled up, peeling off Gao Han's disguise bit by bit. "You know, you have clean and neat skills, and you are merciless to your enemies. I thought you were a ruthless person who was not shaken by anything. Even for a spirit cultivator, you are rare. But every time you appear, I refresh my understanding of you."

"You are rational, yet irrational. You are not afraid of powerful enemies, like a calm killer, but you also sympathize with the weak. You are like a collection of contradictions. I have always wondered what kind of place can cultivate a personality like yours."

Gao Han could feel that Zhongli Tingzhou's gaze was staring at him, so hot and undisguised.

He didn't look at her, but closed his eyes.

Well, just when he thought someone was a collection of contradictions, the other person gave him this sentence.

I vaguely remember that someone once said the same thing to him. He never saw that person again and it seemed like he was dead.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"Do you want me to help you kill Youming? My price is very high." Zhongli Tingzhou did not answer and took the initiative to get back to the topic.

Gao Han had seen the bounty price for Youming. The real fighting power among the two evil spirits, Ming and Luo, was Youming, so his price was naturally much more expensive than that of Luosha.

“I don’t have that much money.”

Although he earned a lot during this period, his expenses were also not small, especially in the early stage of exploration. In order to master the formation equipment that he was not familiar with, he bought a lot of expensive materials.

"I don't want money." said Zhongli Tingzhou.

"What do you want?"

Zhongli Tingzhou did not answer immediately.

Gao Han had no choice but to turn his head and look at him again. Zhongli Tingzhou was incredibly perfect under the moonlight. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, reflecting the light.

Later he realized that it was not about being able to speak or being confident, but about being unparalleled in the world.
