Chapter 1 The Lustful God is Nearby

Yuan Shi Tianzun’s words caused the official members present to tense up instantly. Team leaders Qing Teng and Bai Long revealed expressions of horror.

Executive Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Tong Ren quietly beastified. A vast aura gathered within this seasoned executive, like a wild beast ready to pounce. Jiang Jingwei angrily looked around, unafraid, and instead impatiently wanted to fight the Lustful God to the death.

"Don't be nervous, he won't attack us at this time." Zhang Yuanqing reassured everyone, telling them the phenomena he had observed with his astrology.

After hearing that they were not in imminent danger, Qing Teng, in her cheongsam, and the headstrong Bai Long breathed sighs of relief. Falling into the hands of the Lustful God was worse than death.

"Why... why is it that we big, tough men are in danger?" Da Ji Ba was both panicked and bewildered, mixed with a trace of fear.

Li Dongze took out his phone, preparing to call Fu Qingyang, and said in a deep voice, "They will be captured by the Lustful God?"

The faces of Qing Teng and Bai Long, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly turned pale.

"No!" Guan Ya's expression remained normal as she looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "If I were really captured by the Lustful God, I would definitely commit suicide. But I'm not in any danger!" Her expression and eyes seemed to be conveying something.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and, without playing coy, said, "Although the Lustful God is very strong, we have four Saints present, and Executive Wan is even more experienced. Even the Lustful God would not be able to kill us in a short amount of time. And if the commotion is too great, Elder Fu will notice. Besides, the Lustful God cannot be sure if there are other Elders secretly watching nearby."

"Also, there are too many people here. If a fight really breaks out, it will affect innocent people, and our morality value will be cleared in minutes." Executive Wan silently restrained his aura, nodding in agreement, and said, "So, you mean the Lustful God is nearby, and he will take advantage of Fu Qingyang's departure to secretly mark us. When we leave and return to our residences, he will follow the marks to our doorsteps?"

He glanced at the female corpse on the bed, sadness hidden deep within, "Like what happened to Deep Sea Queen."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "That's right. But Guan Ya and the others live in Fojiawan, so the Lustful God wouldn't dare to come knocking, so they're fine." Saying that, he looked towards the living room and said, "I'm not sure exactly how far the Mist Lord's marking range is, but it won't be too far. The Lustful God is likely in this building. We have to be careful."

After hearing what he said, the hearts of the others, which had just settled down, were raised again.

"If the Lustful God is nearby, then who is the murderer that Elder Fu is tracking?" Li Dongze breathed a sigh of relief, frowning as he held his phone. At this moment, the call he had made connected, and Fu Qingyang's voice came from the speakerphone, "What is it?"

Li Dongze immediately said, "Elder Fu, the target you are tracking is likely not the Lustful God..."

Before he could finish, Fu Qingyang interrupted, "I know!"

"You know?" Li Dongze was stunned.

Everyone present was equally stunned. Fu Qingyang had already seen that the murderer was not the Lustful God. Only Guan Ya turned her head to look at the female corpse on the bed, as if deep in thought.

"Although Deep Sea Queen showed signs of sexual assault, it does not fit the Lustful God's style. According to the information compiled by the Northern Branch, the victims he rapes and kills all leave obvious 'traces.'" Fu Qingyang's voice came through the speakerphone, "However, the murderer is still an important clue. Being able to kill a team leader level member silently means that their level is not low." After explaining, he asked, "Did you call me just to say this?"

Li Dongze hurriedly said, "Yuan Shi said that the Lustful God is nearby..." He immediately explained the situation in the fastest possible speed.

Fu Qingyang said, "I know!" He hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, Li Dongze's phone rang. The caller was Fu Qingyang. The elegant squad leader quickly answered, and Fu Qingyang's voice, like the collision of ice blocks, sounded from the speakerphone: "Within a kilometer radius of the apartment, there are no other Lingjing Xingzhe besides you. Yuan Shi, take another look at everyone's faces."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately opened his Star Eyes, scrutinizing everyone present. He said in astonishment, "Their faces are normal, and the aura of impending doom has disappeared."

Fu Qingyang's tone was calm, as if he had expected this, and he instructed, "Guan Ya, there are cameras in the room. Find them. I will continue to track the murderer." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

"There are cameras in the room?" Everyone looked around the room, examining every corner.

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, combining the information, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood, "The Lustful God marked Deep Sea Queen's team, but he didn't personally kill them. Instead, he sent his subordinates to commit the crime. After the murderer killed the person, they left monitoring equipment at the scene. The Lustful God hid nearby, using the monitoring equipment to observe the official members investigating the scene, wanting to repeat the trick and secretly mark the official members for hunting later."

"But I just used astrology to observe your faces, and all of this was seen and heard by the Lustful God. So he abandoned the plan and decisively retreated. That's why Fu Qingyang's True Eye Technique didn't find the Lustful God, and that's why everyone's aura of impending doom disappeared."

"Hiss..." Da Ji Ba gasped, angrily saying, "This guy is really damn cunning."

This time, no one laughed at him, because the Lustful God was indeed cunning to the point of making one's hair stand on end. If there hadn't been a Star Official present today, everyone would have fallen for his trick. Executive Wan was not a scout and did not participate in the search for monitoring equipment. He said in a deep voice, "We can't underestimate the characters at the God General level. Although each of them has obvious personality flaws, they have survived to become God Generals and reached this point not by luck."

"If they were so easy to deal with, they would have died long ago. We will have a headache next, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we never know what he will do next." Seeing the heavy expressions on the faces of his colleagues in Kangyang District, he comforted them, "Don't worry, the Lustful God has made a big deal out of this, then the Elders will definitely take action. The Demon Eye has already fallen in Songhai, let alone a God General."

While speaking, Guan Ya had already located the target. She walked to the TV and reached out to pick up the plush bear that was leaning against the vase. Its eyes were facing the double bed and the bedroom door. Guan Ya opened the zipper on the back of the plush bear and, sure enough, found monitoring equipment in the white fiber cotton.

"Tsk tsk, three beauties."

On the streets at night, traffic was congested. In a black car, in the back seat, the Lustful God wearing headphones stared at the phone screen, licking his lips. After Guan Ya found the monitoring equipment and destroyed the camera, the Lustful God put down his phone and ordered, "Terminate the plan, leave Songhai, and go to Jinshan City!"

The driver was a young man wearing a peaked cap, and he followed the order. "The national highway and expressway intersections have been set up with checkpoints, and people from the Five Elements Alliance are checking passing vehicles. I can only send you to the suburbs, and you have to walk to Jinshan City yourself."

The Lustful God gave an "hmm" sound, "Notify your subordinates to stop all actions and lie low. Those five old guys in Songhai are probably going to move out."

The young man in the peaked cap laughed, "Those trash from the official side will never expect that we will decisively leave Songhai. We freelance guerrillas have never lost."

As the young man in the peaked cap spoke, he suddenly became excited. "God General, if you can hunt down Yuan Shi Tianzun, that's a hundred million! The brothers can eat spicy food and drink hot drinks. Your reputation will surpass the other God Generals, plus the item rewards... The Silver Moon God General has already been promoted to a Dominator, maybe you will be the next leader of the God Generals."

The Lustful God lowered the car window, looked at the night scene outside the street, and snorted, "Yuan Shi Tianzun is a Star Official, who is best at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, he is not easy to deal with." Originally in his plan, the fishing tactic was combined with the lightning tactic, carrying out two missions in a row within a day, giving the Songhai branch a thunderous blow, hurting them in one breath. Then quickly evacuate Songhai and carry out the second plan - going to Jinshan City, using the No Trace Hotel as a breakthrough point to carry out the assassination of Yuan Shi Tianzun. Unexpectedly, the trap set tonight directly attracted Yuan Shi Tianzun, forcing him to terminate the plan ahead of schedule. However, although he did not achieve the expected goal, the effect of provoking and hitting the Songhai branch was sufficient.

The Lustful God retracted his gaze, opened his phone, and sent a message: "Arrive in Jinshan City in half an hour." After the message was sent, he received a reply message more than ten minutes later, the content was a photo.

Under the brightly lit residential building, a young man wearing a blue takeaway uniform and a blue helmet walked out of the building. His features were quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, hiding arrogance, like a grumpy and combative little wolfdog.

"Ding dong!" Another text message came. "He is Kou Beiyue. After you arrive in Jinshan City, I will send you the address. The chairman asked me to cooperate with your actions. If you need anything, just ask."

Inside the apartment, the blackness in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes faded. He glanced at the corpse under his feet and shook his head. "He is not a subordinate of the Lustful God, but a customer who often goes to the Ecstasy Bar. A rogue cultivator, quite famous in their small circle, after all, he is a Saint."

"The Lustful God secretly collected a lot of information about the customers, and he is one of them. He was bewitched by the Lustful God and became the Lustful God's knife, killing Deep Sea Queen and six colleagues."

"The Lustful God is very cautious, I didn't see any other useful information."

The corpse under his feet was an illusionist, a tall and thin middle-aged man. From the outside, he was a very respectable middle-aged man.

The team leaders were full of disappointment, but Executive Wan and Fu Qingyang's expressions were normal, as if it was reasonable that there were no clues. The two were experienced hunters, knowing that to deal with a God General level enemy, they must have sufficient patience.

After thinking for a long time, Fu Qingyang analyzed, "The Lustful God should lie low in the near future, and will likely leave Songhai temporarily. Notify the colleagues in the nearby Songhai branches to be careful. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."

"Yuan Shi, we have to prepare for patrolling." Executive Wan frowned, "If the Lustful God lies dormant like this, we don't know when he will strike again, it's like a thorn in our throat. You little girls pay attention."

Qing Teng said with a bitter smile, "Executive Wan, don't scare us..."

Executive Wan shook his head, "Evil professions are best at guerrilla warfare, there is only a thief for a thousand days, but no guard against a thief for a thousand days, I am not scaring you, this is an objective fact."

"Stupid! Women don't want to hear facts now, they only want care and comfort!" Zhang Yuanqing criticized in his heart. Executive Wan was also a straight man of steel, but unfortunately he was really not in the mood to complain now.

Fu Qingyang glanced at his watch, "Let's go, I have to find five old guys to have a meeting. Based on my assessment of the Lustful God, if he lies dormant for too long, he may already be secretly planning his next action."

"Your takeaway has arrived, please give a five-star rating!" In a residential building, Kou Beiyue handed the dinner to the guest with a smile on his face. Although Man Tou had told him countless times that he didn't need to smile at these people who ordered takeaways, because most of them were too lazy to rate. "We takeaways are just tools in people's eyes. It is right for the tool to do well, but if it doesn't do well, they will think of the rating system and give you a bad review. So, if you encounter a bad review, just cut their kidneys."

Kou Beiyue felt that it was really reasonable, but if you didn't say it, how would people give a good review? What if you met someone who was soft-hearted and gave it anyway! Moreover, if you prayed for a five-star rating, even if people thought you didn't do well, their retaliation would only be "I just won't give you a good review." Hmm, this was the secret that Xiao Yuan taught him during a casual chat.

"Bang!" The guest ignored him, took the takeaway, and closed the door.

Kou Beiyue sneaked downstairs, returned to the electric scooter, took off the milk tea hanging on the handlebar, took a big gulp, and let out a satisfied sigh. It was the peak meal time, and there were too many orders to deliver.

He hung up half a bottle of milk tea, sat on the electric scooter, and was about to go to the next house when he suddenly saw a man wearing a mask, with a thin body and dark skin, walking towards him.
