Chapter 1 Shock

Zhang Yuanqing said casually, "Brother, is your operation tonight?"

Chen Yuanjun gave a hmm. Due to the confidential nature of the matter, he didn't elaborate to his cousin. After breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing instructed the Ghost Bride to protect his cousin closely, while he went to the bathroom to wash up.

After Chen Yuanjun left, he walked out of the bathroom and shouted, "Grandma, I have a date with Guan Ya tonight, I might not be back for dinner!"

His grandma shouted from the kitchen, "Are you coming back to sleep, then?"

"Of course, where else would I sleep?"

"Good-for-nothing!" his grandma said.

Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room, lay down on his ergonomic chair, and opened the official forum on his phone. Under the pinned announcements for the red-marked "Transcendent" and "Saint" Killing Instance, he saw a sensational post:

#Shocking, Qian Gongzi, whose skills are almost Dao, has his famous stunt cracked by Yuanshi Tianzun#

The post was published an hour ago. Because it involved Fu Qingyang and Yuanshi Tianzun, and had an eye-catching title, it was extremely popular, with more than two thousand views and 999+ comments.

These bastards, they really took my words as wind in their ears... Zhang Yuanqing clicked on the post, which contained a video.

He clicked on the video again, but a payment page popped up.

#Playing the video requires a payment of one hundred yuan#

One hundred yuan? You might as well rob someone, that's too dark. More than two thousand views, that's two hundred thousand yuan. I want a cut too... Zhang Yuanqing silently paid one hundred yuan.

After the page refreshed, the video content and the comments below appeared.

He quickly browsed through the video, gnashing his teeth in anger. Bai Long and Qing Teng were inhuman, they only cut out the nonsense and completely preserved the entire process of sparring and getting beaten.

At the end of the video, there was even a bonus photo of Yuanshi Tianzun with a bruised nose and swollen face being carried away.

"I don't understand, but I'm greatly shocked. Yuanshi Tianzun was clearly beaten without any ability to parry, but after closing his eyes and shattering his eardrums, he was suddenly able to block Fu Qingyang's sword moves?"

"Holy shit, I thought it was just clickbait, but it's real. The hundred yuan was well spent. Can someone tell me how Yuanshi Tianzun did it?"

"I remember that Fire Gongzi didn't crack Qian Gongzi's sword moves back then. Evil professionals of the same realm are also afraid of Qian Gongzi's sword, but Yuanshi Tianzun defended against it. It can be proven that Yuanshi Tianzun is a top-notch genius like Qian Gongzi."

"I suspect the video was edited. Can someone tell me how Yuanshi Tianzun did it? I really want to know, I really want to know..."

Zhang Yuanqing scrolled through the comments below and saw many familiar Lingjing Xingzhe. There were even some Saints among them.

He even saw Yin Ji of Taiyi Sect and Jiang Ju, Jiang Jingwei's brother, commenting:

Yin Ji: "Yuanshi Tianzun should have shielded his body's senses, turning his body into a puppet, and then observed Fu Qingyang's attack trajectory from the perspective of a spirit servant. It's a very clever approach, but it's only limited to sparring occasions and doesn't help much in actual combat. However, Yuanshi Tianzun is indeed a rare genius. He has only been a Night Wanderer for two or three months, but his understanding of his profession surpasses most veteran Night Wanderers. Elder Sun really missed out by not recruiting him into Taiyi Sect."

"Also, don't spread this video to evil organizations, it might inspire them to deal with Fu Qingyang's attacks."

Jiang Ju: "Hmph, a trick. I knew long ago that Fu Qingyang's slashes can only be launched against a single target, but the method of turning the body into a puppet is quite insightful and can be considered a good inspiration. Also, that Fu guy really has no class, he couldn't beat his subordinate at the same level, yet he had the nerve to use the power of the Dominator Realm. Yuanshi Tianzun should kick this classless superior away as soon as possible and come with me."

Even the Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect were attracted, which shows how popular the video was.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly clicked on Yin Ji's avatar to view her profile, but found that she had left nothing behind.

He was very curious about the Devil Monarch's beloved, wanting to know what kind of woman could make the libertine Devil Monarch willingly give up an entire forest.

As Zhang Yuanqing looked further down, the comments changed from discussing the battle to "mocking" Yuanshi Tianzun for being beaten so badly, saying that Lord Tianzun was so pitiful, and expressing sympathy for Lord Tianzun.

Most people were gloating.

For most people, the content in the second half of the video was much more entertaining than the first half.

Especially for top geniuses like Yuanshi Tianzun, these photos would be black history once he grew up.

"My image is gone..." Zhang Yuanqing sighed and scratched his head.

Kangyang District Public Security Bureau, second-floor glass building.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing stepped into the second team's office area and saw Guan Ya standing at the printer, busy as sheets of paper were orderly ejected.

She had returned to her combination of a skirt suit and a white shirt. From behind, the skirt suit wrapped around her full peach-like buttocks, above which was a suddenly constricted waistline. The hem of the women's shirt was tucked into the skirt suit, and the full hip line and narrow waist line outlined a graceful figure that made men's mouths dry.

"What are you busy with?" Zhang Yuanqing leaned over to look.

"Aren't we being transferred to the patrol team? Only Wang Tai and the Squad Leader will be left in the second team. While I have time this morning, I'm helping the Squad Leader organize the interview list for the new members." Although Guan Ya was already a Saint, she still maintained her original habits and acted as Li Dongze's assistant.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This time, remember to arrange a few reliable members for the Squad Leader."

Guan Ya wanted to refute, but after recalling the attributes of the second team's members in her mind, she was speechless.

"Sister Guan Ya, do you know about the missing persons case the Public Security Bureau has been investigating recently?"

"Missing persons case?" Guan Ya pondered for a few seconds, but couldn't recall any relevant events. She said helplessly, "I haven't paid attention to cases for a week. I'm going to Fu's Family Bay later to complete the transfer process. The second team's affairs have nothing to do with us anymore. What are you asking this for?"

It had been almost a week since she had dealt with official business, from preparing for the Killing Instance until now.

"My cousin has been busy with a missing persons case recently, which is very likely related to Lingjing Xingzhe. I've seen my cousin's face, and he will have a bloody disaster soon." Zhang Yuanqing explained.

"Do you need my help?" Guan Ya's expression turned serious.

"It's a small matter, I can handle it myself." After Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking and was about to go find Li Dongze, Guan Ya said again:

"By the way, you haven't exchanged the reward for clearing the Killing Instance with Fu Qingyang yet. Also, do you have any ideas for recruiting members?"

Zhang Yuanqing had thought about this question a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "The reward is not urgent. As for recruiting members, first of all, the types of professions must be complete. The team cannot have obvious weaknesses. Secondly, the affiliations of the members cannot be singular. I don't want to only recruit members of the Five Elements Alliance. I also want to pull in some rogue cultivators or people from Lingjing Families, but I don't have any good candidates for the time being."

Guan Ya thought for a moment, "You don't know many rogue cultivators. You've only entered multiple-person Lingjing Instances twice. Hmm, Li Chunfeng from Yin-Yang Town is good. You can try to invite him to join the Five Elements Alliance. By the way, you're quite close to the Zhisha Palace. You can give them a spot, but members with a background in folk organizations cannot officially join the Five Elements Alliance, they can only be extras."

"As for the Lingjing Families, don't you know Xie's green tea young lady? You can try. As for the Five Elements Alliance internally, you can handle it yourself."

Li Chunfeng is a big man, is it not good to occupy a spot? As a subordinate personally trained by Qian Gongzi, Zhang Yuanqing envied his superior for raising so many long-legged rabbits at home.

He also wanted to have ten beautiful female members of various demeanors by his side when he traveled, not necessarily to have anything happen with them, he just thought it was very cool.

But Li Chunfeng has "Lian Sanyue" behind him, so he could be considered.

Unfortunately, the orderly and the evil are mortal enemies. Xiao Yuan and Kou Beiyue cannot be pulled into the team, this is a matter of principle.

If he pulls evil professionals into the team, even Elder Gou wouldn't be able to protect him.

Guan Ya organized the interview list and said casually: "I asked Fu Qingyang, if we can't recruit more than five members for the time being, then the two teams can be temporarily merged."

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and then overjoyed.

Guan Ya meant that they, as team leaders, could temporarily merge into one team.

Guan Ya lowered her head and flipped through the forms, looking calm, as if she hadn't hinted at anything at all.

Zhang Yuanqing reached out and wrapped his arms around Guan Ya's waist from behind, his lower abdomen pressed tightly against her round buttocks, and he chuckled, "That's great, that's great."

Guan Ya chuckled, "Little boy who hasn't been weaned!"

So you have to find a girlfriend with big milk bottles... Zhang Yuanqing hugged her for a while before turning around and heading to Li Dongze's office to ask about the missing persons case.

Ordinary public security officers can't possibly lock onto Lingjing Xingzhe, so the Squad Leader must have participated in this case.

Only scouts who are good at tracking can lock onto the suspect's location through high-tech equipment such as surveillance.

"I've been following up on this case. Currently, it has been determined that the perpetrator is a Bewitching Fairy, but the level is unknown. During this period, you and Guan Ya were preparing for the Killing Instance. After clearing it, you need to recuperate. I'm worried that I don't have enough people." Li Dongze said with joy:

"With your help, it will be foolproof."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Judging from this, according to the normal development of events, because Guan Ya and I have left the team, the second team is short of manpower, so during this arrest, there will be public security officers who sacrifice themselves, including my cousin...

And because I saw that my cousin would have a bloody disaster and intervened in time, my cousin can avoid a disaster?

It's really wonderful, it's a bit like changing the original world line, but it's not quite right, because the future has not yet arrived, so it doesn't count as changing... Zhang Yuanqing vaguely grasped the mystery of the Star Official.

This is a profession that can choose the most favorable direction for itself among the countless changes in the future.

Zhang Yuanqing pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Let's talk about this case, Squad Leader. Why do you think the villains are kidnapping young women? Are they making money off women like Copper Sparrow Terrace? It's difficult to grow this kind of business without powerful people as protectors, and it will also deduct a huge amount of merit points. The cost performance is too low."

Li Dongze lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Young and beautiful women are scarce resources in this society. For some wealthy and powerful people, their only value is to be playthings. More than a dozen similar missing cases, the missing people are all young women... The nature of the case is actually very obvious. I don't want to see similar cases like Copper Sparrow Terrace happening again, but the fact is the fact. We hope that the missing people are at least still alive."

Zhang Yuanqing's face was solemn.

Li Dongze exhaled a puff of smoke, "The families of the missing people have been staying in the Public Security Bureau these days, refusing to leave. The public security officers are under a lot of pressure."

As he said that, he opened his laptop, pulled out a file, and pushed it to Zhang Yuanqing.

"The list of missing people is all here."

Zhang Yuanqing held the mouse, slid the page, and went through the missing people's files one by one. They were all women under 35 years old, some from Songhai, some with foreign household registrations, some single, some married, and all had one thing in common - beauty.

The single ones are fine, but those who are married have families behind them... Zhang Yuanqing seemed to see families breaking apart because of this.

At this time, the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that the caller was "Qing Dian Da Sheng" (Mad Saint).

A high-level member of Zhisha Palace.

What does he want from me? Zhang Yuanqing got up without showing any emotion, walked out of the Squad Leader's office, and answered the phone.

"Qing Dian Da Sheng?"

"It's me!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the loudspeaker, with a trace of solemnity, and said: "Yuanshi Tianzun, the Palace Master asked me to call you and entrust you with something."

The madman is looking for me? Zhang Yuanqing was a little surprised: "Speak."

Qing Dian Da Sheng sighed: "It's like this, a female member of the Zhisha Palace has disappeared. Her Lingjing ID is called 'Lizhi'. I heard that there have been more than a dozen missing persons cases in Songhai recently, and they are all young women."

"The Palace Master hopes that you can help find Lizhi. Zhisha Palace will definitely reward you handsomely."

Even Lingjing Xingzhe have disappeared... Zhang Yuanqing's first reaction was surprise. If they were kidnapping women to make money, they shouldn't target Lingjing Xingzhe, the cost performance is too low. Once she escapes, without the protection of powerful people, it is easy to be exposed.

The second reaction was - how did the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace know that I was investigating this case?

Or is it just a coincidence that she wants to entrust me with something.

"Can't the Palace Master find that Lizhi either?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"After all, we are a folk organization, how can we have so many channels. Besides, Lizhi disappeared three days ago, and the Palace Master only found out about it yesterday." Qing Dian Da Sheng's voice revealed urgency:

"The Palace Master is investigating this matter, but it is definitely not as convenient as you officials. Please!"

"Okay, I'll let you know if I have any news." Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone.

Recently, he had gotten a lot of Life Elixir from the madman at a low price, so he had to return this favor.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Six business vans were parked on the side of the street in a neighborhood called "Sijiao Chang". The neighborhood was adjacent to Songhai Normal University, and was quite new. Each building was equipped with an elevator.

In a black business van, Li Dongze said: "There are many young and beautiful girls in the Normal University area. It's a good place to look for targets. According to my tracking, the suspect is in Room 708, Building Six of the Sijiao Chang neighborhood. He has a scar on his forehead, don't recognize the wrong person."

"Also, this guy should be a small fish, the big fish is behind him. After you take care of the enemy, remember to ask the spirit."

Squad Leader, I'm already a Saint, not a newbie anymore, you don't need to explain it so clearly... Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.

At this time, Chen Yuanjun's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Team Leader Li, I have led people into the neighborhood. The guys have sealed off the front and back doors. Your people can take action. If you need support, notify us in time."

Li Dongze picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Understood!"

He then put down the walkie-talkie, turned off the call, and said, "Yuanshi, take action."

In order to ensure that the enemy could be dealt with quickly without causing a disturbance, he adopted the strategy of spiritual body projection. Those below the Saint realm would definitely die.

And Lingjing Xingzhe in the Saint realm are the backbone of any organization, how could they do the job of finding female prey.

It does not match their status.

Zhang Yuanqing took out a Makeup Mirror, looked at his face, and his face was normal, which meant that there would be no accidents in the operation.

He put away the mirror, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

The spiritual body left the physical body, floated out of the business van, and quickly swept towards the floor where the target was located.
