Chapter 1 "Last Night"

“Last night…” Xie Lingxi sat on the sofa by the French window, took the phone, and asked, “Is it related to the Xiahou family?”

The female assistant shook her head, “It’s related to Yuanshi Tianzun.”

Xie Lingxi's interest piqued even more when she heard this, and she urged, "What is it?"

"I heard from an official practitioner that the Kangyang District official team encountered an ambush while hunting down a Spiritual Energy Society wanted criminal. It is said that the enemies were four Level 3 evil profession practitioners, which put the hunting team in danger. In the end, it was your friend Yuanshi Tianzun who single-handedly annihilated the Spiritual Energy Society's warlock."

"Killed four Level 3 warlocks? Really?" Xie Lingxi opened her mouth slightly, her small face blank.

Is Yuanshi-gege so powerful?

"I can't confirm whether it's true or not. I heard that the centurion of Kangyang District ordered that the details of last night should not be disclosed." The female assistant shook her head.

She heard it from a female practitioner she was friendly with. This matter was not a secret and had spread among some small groups of female practitioners.

As for whether there was any exaggeration, the female assistant couldn't verify it. After all, even the grassroots official practitioners might not be clear about it. Moreover, it wasn't confidential intelligence that had to be found out, so she didn't delve into it. She said it just to let the young lady know the movements of the Five Elements Alliance and her friend.

His strength can't be this strong. No, he cleared the S-level Spirit Realm with the highest score. It is entirely possible that he obtained some powerful consumables or props… Props are also part of strength. Yuanshi-gege has great potential. I must introduce him to Dad when I have the chance… Xie Lingxi's thoughts turned, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face:

"Heh, compared to him, Xiahou Tianyuan is just an insidious rat. You go out first. I want to call and comfort Yuanshi-gege, after all, he was bullied by Xiahou Tianyun."

The female assistant was stunned and said, "I don't think Xiahou Tianyuan can bully him."

"What do you know!" Xie Lingxi rolled her eyes.

At 8:30 in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing came to the office with his backpack on.

Li Dongze's shoulder was bulging, wrapped in thick gauze, and he leaned on a cane with one hand. Looking at Zhang Yuanqing coming upstairs, he couldn't help asking:

"Do you come to the office every day? Don't you need to go to school?"

Zhang Yuanqing said righteously:

"How can I delay shining for the organization because of my studies? But since Team Leader has brought it up, I just want to ask, a person's energy is limited, so I don't want to…"

"Does the Five Elements Alliance have a way for me to get a diploma without having to study?"

Guan Ya sat at her desk, eating a simple breakfast, and said when she heard this:

"Yes, everyone will know that Yuanshi Tianzun is a student of Songhai University."

Li Dongze patted his subordinate on the shoulder and said with relief:

"Your idea of shining for the organization is commendable, but don't delay your studies. After all, you are not a Fire Master. Heh, even if you abandon your brain, you can still clear dungeons."

Team Leader, you're insulting the Fire Master again! Zhang Yuanqing echoed, "Okay, Team Leader is right. A Scout is indeed the most awesome profession."

Li Dongze was immediately very happy and patted his confidant subordinate on the shoulder:

"I will prepare a box of cola for you. If you want to drink it, go to my office to get it. Okay, let's talk about business."

He glanced at Guan Ya and Wang Tai and announced, "I'm going to recuperate for a while. Someone will take my place while I'm away. Guan Ya, Yuanshi, you should assist the acting Team Leader in searching for Black Impermanence. They will report in two days."

Ah? Team Leader is leaving? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

He immediately realized that Li Dongze's shoulder had been pierced by the Spider Woman, and he had not received the treatment of "Life Nectar". Moreover, Scouts do not have healing skills, nor do they have the self-healing ability of Night Watchers.

With such an injury, he really needs to rest for a while.

"Team Leader, who is the new Team Leader?" Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously.

"Acting, it's acting!" Li Dongze emphasized. He didn't say much, and left a sentence, "You'll naturally know when you see them. I hope you get along well with them."

Then he left the second floor, leaning on his cane with one hand.

As soon as Li Dongze left, Zhang Yuanqing immediately pulled up a chair and sat next to Guan Ya, looking at her exquisite and three-dimensional profile, and said slyly:

"Is the new Team Leader one of those team members who haven't shown up?"

She sprayed expensive perfume, which was fragrant and rich but not pungent.

Guan Ya "hmm"ed and said with a smile:

"Last night's battle caused many people to need to rest in bed, which led to a shortage of manpower. Fu Qingyang plans to bring back those two guys from the Second Team who are holding idle positions."

"Team Leader doesn't seem to like them very much?" Zhang Yuanqing finally asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.

"If you were leading a group of disobedient subordinates, who you couldn't beat and couldn't scold, you wouldn't like them either."

"Is Team Leader so weak?"

Guan Ya glared at him, and the corners of her lips, smeared with lipstick,翘起:

"What made you have the illusion that Team Leader is very strong? Team Leader's combat power has always been the second to last in the Second Team, and the last is Wang Tai. In terms of physical skills, I can crush Team Leader, let alone those two guys. Later, you came, and he was still second to last."

Zhang Yuanqing was speechless and felt sorry for Li Dongze for a while.

After teasing Li Dongze, Guan Ya said sternly:

"I must tell you that one of these two is a Fire Master, who hates evil like an enemy, is impulsive and暴躁, and doesn't tolerate sand in his eyes. You can't look at my butt in a lecherous manner anymore, otherwise you will be beaten."

"Sister Guan Ya, don't wrong me. When did I stare at your butt in a lecherous manner?"

"Didn't you?"

"I was clearly staring at your chest."

Guan Ya rolled her eyes at him and continued:

"The other is a Water Ghost, with a very strange temper and difficult to get along with. Team Leader was so angry that he vomited blood several times, um, rhetorical technique. However, he has a very upright personality and likes upright people."

"Most importantly, these two people have unusual identities. It's good for you to have a good relationship with them."

Zhang Yuanqing showed a posture of wanting to hear the details.

"One of them is the son of a high-level member of the Red Fire Gang, a Level 3 Fire Master. The other one doesn't have much of a background, but he is a Level 4 Saint." Guan Ya rattled them off, then opened the drawer, took out a notepad, turned her back, confirmed it again, and hummed:

"I didn't remember it wrong, that's about it."

Zhang Yuanqing quickly glanced at it and vaguely saw:

Yuanshi Tianzun, Scorpio man, constellation:腹黑(fù hēi, scheming), vengeful, strong sexual desire… Note: Extremely high probability of being seduced by women from other organizations…

This stinky woman… He gritted his teeth.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and took a look.

Xie Lingxi? Zhang Yuanqing silently went to the bathroom.

Suburbs of Songhai City.

Wang Qian was wearing a鸭舌帽 (yā shé mào, peaked cap) and a mask, with his hands in his pockets, walking quickly on the potholed sidewalk.

Compared with the city, the infrastructure in the suburbs is much more dilapidated. The lanes are tilted left and right due to the sinking, and the sidewalks are potholed and full of cracked tiles.

In addition, because there is no place to demolish in the city, real estate developers buy land and build houses here, and there are construction sites everywhere, which makes it even more chaotic.

But for Wang Qian, the more chaotic the place, the easier it is to hide.

He walked through the long sidewalk, passed through a construction site, and came to a low and dilapidated bungalow.

"Dong dong dong"

He knocked on the door in a unique rhythm and said in a low voice, "Me, Wang Qian."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a tattered coat, with a beer belly, afro, and a round and chubby figure poked his head out, looked around, and pulled him in.

The room was dirty and messy, with beer cans, dirty clothes, and takeaway boxes everywhere. In addition to the round and chubby man, there were two other people.

One was a hot girl in jeans and a black tube top, biting a cigarette in her mouth, sitting in front of the TV playing games.

One was a young man wearing headphones, with a pale face, lying on the sofa listening to music.

"Why are you here?" The round and chubby man scratched his afro that he hadn't washed for a long time and said in a deep voice:

"In times of emergency, don't wander around… What's wrong with you?"

He suddenly realized something was wrong. Wang Qian's eyes were bloodshot, his face was livid, and there was a strong戾气 (lì qì, baleful spirit) between his eyebrows.

"Boss…" Wang Qian gritted his teeth and said, "My sister has been kidnapped."

The hot girl playing the game put down the controller, and the young man on the sofa opened his eyes.

Qingdian Dasheng frowned and said, "How do you know?"

Wang Qian took a deep breath to calm his emotions:

"I wanted to contact my family today, so I deliberately ran to the next district to make a call. My mother told me that my sister had been kidnapped. It must have been done by the Xiahou family. Otherwise, who would kidnap my sister for no reason?"

"You'll be located and tracked if you do this!" Qingdian Dasheng was furious.

"But if I hadn't contacted my family, I wouldn't have known that something happened to my sister until now." Wang Qian said loudly with red eyes.

The hot girl slammed the controller down and cursed "艹 (cào, fuck)", and said angrily, "The Xiahou family doesn't follow the rules. I can't stand it anymore. Let the Palace Master summon the brothers. We might as well perish together."

The young man wearing headphones sneered:

"Stupid, why perish together with them? Since they dare to attack Wang Qian's family, then our families are also in danger. Then we might as well not have families. From now on, just stare at the Xiahou family's people and kill them until they are wiped out, who's afraid of who?"

Qingdian Dasheng glared and said, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent. I don't think your orphan strategy will work. It's too偏激(piān jī, extreme)."

"To stop killing with killing, to stop war with war, is the purpose of the止杀宫 (Zhǐ Shā Gōng, Killing-Prevention Palace)." The young man retorted.

Qingdian Dasheng was speechless for a while, and could only helplessly say:

"The Palace Master has her own ideas. She told us to hide, so let's hide properly and don't ruin her plans. Things haven't reached that point yet, let me think of a way…"

The room fell silent. After a dozen seconds, Qingdian Dasheng's eyes lit up:

"We shouldn't be the ones to take action in this matter. The Xiahou family kidnapped ordinary people, which breaks the rules, so let's find people from the official organization."

The hot girl cursed "艹 (cào, fuck)" again and said angrily:

"Who to find? Who can help Wang Qian? The Five Elements Alliance obviously favors the Xiahou family. No, many of them are from the Xiahou family's faction. Finding the official is worse than finding a dog."

Qingdian Dasheng looked at Wang Qian: "Don't you know Yuanshi Tianzun from the Second Team of Kangyang District? Try finding him."

ps: I can't take it anymore, going to sleep! I'll write more when I wake up!
