Chapter 187 The Oddities of the Border Town

To prevent ambushes by other experts, Zhang Yuanqing sent Iwakawa Kawami to scout the surroundings before intervening in the battle. As a result, they really found a mantis lurking in the darkness.

He just didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.

Zhang Yuanqing discreetly swept through the surrounding darkness, communicating mentally without a change in expression, "Friend or foe?"

There are many kinds of acquaintances; friends and enemies both count.

"Sort of a friend, I guess. You saw him at the Lingjing Xingzhe No Trace Hotel. A middle-aged man with glasses." Iwakawa Kawami made a suggestive ear-whispering gesture despite being perfectly capable of mental communication.

No Trace Hotel, a middle-aged man with glasses? Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, an image surfacing in his mind – a middle-aged man in a cheap shirt, wearing glasses, looking honest and simple.

A member of Master No Trace's team, a level six Spirit Advisor, "Wandering Human."

Why would he be here? Is he from Nanming City, or is he here on business? Zhang Yuanqing asked telepathically, "Where is he? Did he discover you?"

"He's already gone. We're the same level, and I'm in spirit servant state. I can't hide it from him." Iwakawa Kawami whispered, "But my experience is much higher than his. He can't see through my disguise, and he didn't discover your true identity."

Iwakawa Kawami appeared at the No Trace Hotel. Without disguise, she would be recognized by "Wandering Human."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned secretly. The appearance of a rogue saint on a battlefield where the Spirit Alliance was ambushing official executives was itself illogical.

The drug cartel's transaction location and time were confidential, and so was the official executive's arrest operation.

A rogue cultivator shouldn't appear in this kind of situation unless he's also involved in the incident.

The Drug Hunter answered his phone and said, "The operation is over. We successfully killed two Spirit Advisors and a group of henchmen. Notify the nearby public security bureau to clean up the scene."

Xue Hai Wu Ya on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully, "Wasn't this supposed to be an ambush?"

"It was an ambush," the Drug Hunter said.

"What's the situation this time?"

"Two Spirit Advisors of equal level. The transcendent stage hasn't been verified yet." The Drug Hunter's tone was calm, and his face was expressionless.

Reconnaissance types are mostly like this, serious as soldiers.

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if digesting this shocking news, before Xue Hai Wu Ya's excited and joyful voice came through, "I understand. Executive, you've created another miracle."

"No, I almost died this time." The Drug Hunter said in a deep voice, "Thanks to a colleague from the Songhai branch; he saved me."

"?"

The phone on the other end suddenly stalled. After a while, Xue Hai Wu Ya tentatively asked, "S-saved you? That colleague from the Songhai branch?"

The Drug Hunter nodded, his words concise.

Xue Hai Wu Ya murmured, "What, what level is he? Isn't he a transcendent captain?"

The Drug Hunter said indifferently, "Level six Fire Master, Lingjing Xingzhe ID is Three Pure Ones Daoist Ancestor. Songhai only has two embarrassments to the Fire Master class, one is World in Flames, and one is him. Don't you even know this?"

Xue Hai Wu Ya was completely dumbfounded.

The person he thought was a transcendent captain was actually a senior executive?

Level six? This was someone he could sit down and chat with?

This was a big shot he had to kneel down to greet.

The emotion of shock fermented in his heart, but Xue Hai Wu Ya didn't indulge in it. Instead, he immediately understood what the executive meant.

....A crackling sound came from the phone. After a moment, Xue Hai Wu Ya said with a wry smile:

"I am indeed ignorant. I didn't know there was such an executive in Songhai."

Hearing this, the Drug Hunter narrowed his eyes.

The meaning of his words just now was to hint that Xue Hai Wu Ya should investigate this "Three Pure Ones Daoist Ancestor." The reason was simple: the number of level six saints in the Five Elements Alliance was still quite a few, but there were very few so young in the official ranks.

He had never heard of this ID.

Xue Hai Wu Ya gave a not-so-good reply – no such person was found.

Although Xue Hai Wu Ya was at the captain level, he controlled the Nanming branch's system. With the branch's authority, he could investigate anyone below the level of Elder.

"But..." Xue Hai Wu Ya said in a low voice:

"Is it convenient to talk now?"

The Drug Hunter thought for a moment, took the phone and walked aside, "Speak."

"That Three Pure Ones Daoist Ancestor, um, let's call him Three Pure Ones Daoist Ancestor, he came to perform a secret mission, with a letter of guarantee from the Songhai branch, but his identity information is confidential." Xue Hai Wu Ya said.

The Drug Hunter immediately frowned, "Secret mission?"

"I don't know the specifics; it's a secret mission. We're really lucky. If this big shot hadn't suddenly visited, our branch would have suffered heavy losses this time. Before the arrival of the new executive, the brothers can only shrink at home and dare not go to work."

The Drug Hunter didn't want to listen to his nonsense and silently ended the call.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing pretended to collect spoils of war and examine the corpses, and with the help of Star Illusion Art to confuse everyone, he unknowingly collected the spirit bodies of the two Spirit Advisors.

Nanming City Branch.

Xue Hai Wu Ya hung up the phone, looked at the employees who were watching him and waiting for good news, and smiled:

"The crisis has been resolved. Our branch has made another great contribution, killing two Spirit Advisors."

Cheers rang out, and the employees who had been working overtime felt relieved.

"Killing two Spirit Advisors?" A female staff member said happily, "We can get bonuses again. Has our executive created another legend?"

"It's not the executive; it was the colleague who came from Songhai just now. The leader was a level six saint; he saved the brothers in our branch."

The cheers stopped abruptly, and the employees were stunned.

That ordinary-looking young man was a level six saint?!

Such a big shot!

"Did headquarters send him to inspect the work? Do we have a level six saint sitting in charge?" Someone became excited.

The shock on the faces of other employees turned into expectation and joy.

Xue Hai Wu Ya forced a smile, not breaking their expectations: "The leader's work is confidential; I don't know."

Headquarters occasionally sends senior executives to inspect work, clear up criminal groups on the border, and maintain social order.

Every major cleanup, they count on this.

However, most senior executives just come to show their faces, sweep away a few painless small forces, and stay for a while. The Spirit Alliance will cooperate and keep a low profile for a while, and the inspection will pass.

After all, stability on the overall situation has already achieved the goal, and the Spirit Alliance has many rulers.

As long as no major terror incidents occur and there is no strong conflict of interest, senior executives are unwilling to risk their lives.

Late at night, the public security officers and official executives transported the corpses back to the Public Security Bureau. Under the leadership of Executive Drug Hunter, all members of the Nanming branch held a brief memorial service in the mortuary.

....The formal memorial service will have to wait until the process is completed and handled with great fanfare.

In the words of self-mockery by the Liangshan navy: We are law enforcers in the shadows. The day we die is when we are most glorious.

Zhang Yuanqing also participated in the memorial service, silently watching this group of heroes in the dark. Compared with scheming in power, he yearned for these people more.

Simple, pure, and passionate, firmly guarding what they wanted to protect, maybe their home, maybe their faith.

During the memorial service, he suddenly had an idea: Why doesn't Demon Eye come to the border? This is simply his paradise, full of criminals.

On second thought, if Demon Eye came, his obsession would explode, and he would kill indiscriminately, and then his moral value would be deducted to zero, and he would be wanted globally.

He understood why he didn't come to the border.

Cleaning up the world is a long way to go.

After the memorial service, Wang Xiaoer enthusiastically took Zhang Yuanqing to the staff dormitory.

"This is your room." Wang Xiaoer opened the door of a dormitory. The staff dormitory was quite simple; it was a bunk bed, with a total of four berths.

"Not bad!" Zhang Yuanqing glanced around, and seeing that the bedding was clean and tidy, he nodded.

He wouldn't have lived in this kind of place before. Since becoming a Lingjing Xingzhe, he had stayed in all kinds of environments.

He could adapt to sleeping in piles of corpses, and even felt like he was back in his doghouse.

Xiaoer's attitude can be described as respectful.

Originally, the branch was going to arrange a five-star hotel for this big shot, but Daoist Ancestor Executive refused, saying that he had climbed up from the bottom step by step, and after ten years, he had suffered more hardships than they had eaten sweets and wasn't so delicate.

Everyone was shocked. This Daoist Ancestor Executive looked young, but he had been a Lingjing Xingzhe for ten years? Sure enough, he was highly qualified.

"No need, arrange them with me." Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the empty berth: "There happen to be four berths."

"Okay, okay." Wang Xiaoer glanced at him.

Hey, what's with the "this guy is planning to have an orgy" look? I can see it! Zhang Yuanqing pretended not to understand.

Wang Xiaoer added, "The executive said that he will open a private room in the hotel tomorrow to welcome you."

Zhang Yuanqing "um"med, and then asked: "Does a situation like tonight happen often?"

"Not often, similar things happen several times a year. The Spirit Alliance guys like to use this kind of false information to trick us out and then ambush us. Of course, we also have countermeasures. This time was relatively thrilling, but what can we do? Sometimes we know it's a trap, but we still have to jump in." Wang Xiaoer sighed first, and then said:

"Fortunately, our Drug Hunter Executive is very strong, very strong. He is the miracle creator of our branch."

Strong? Didn't see it. Zhang Yuanqing pondered: "I'm curious; can you tell me about it?"

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, he excitedly talked about the Drug Hunter's past:

"In an operation to arrest human traffickers, he encountered an attack by a level five Witch Gu Master. Everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, he killed the other party. When everyone found him, they couldn't believe it."

"The most recent time was last year, when he was promoted to level 5 and was besieged by three saints. Although he didn't kill them this time, he successfully escaped and is said to have severely injured a Spirit Advisor of the same level."

...."At the beginning of this year, he single-handedly broke into a drug trafficking gang's stronghold and killed another saint from abroad and seven transcendents."

Zhang Yuanqing thought that this was a protagonist template. In theory, such a character could be transferred to large cities such as Songhai, Hangzhou, and Beijing to work. Why would he stay in a border branch?

But gradually, the more he listened, the more wrong he felt.

Based on the entanglement he observed tonight, the Drug Hunter's strength was not strong.

He only had two saint-quality props on his body. Facing the siege of two Spirit Advisors of the same level, he struggled to support himself. His combat effectiveness was only in the middle and upper reaches, which did not match the record in Wang Xiaoer's mouth.

"I see, I didn't expect Executive Drug Hunter to have these great achievements." Zhang Yuanqing said, "Why doesn't he transfer to a developed area?"

Wang Xiaoer suddenly looked alert: "You don't want to poach him, do you? Executive Drug Hunter will not leave."

Speaking of this, he whispered:

"The executive's father used to be a narcotics policeman and was later sacrificed. His mother was also killed by drug dealers. He was still in school at the time and escaped the disaster. The Qinghe branch originally wanted to transfer him away from the border, but he refused. He said that he would never leave here in this life. He wants to fight those drug dealers to the end. So Daoist Ancestor Executive, you should give up this idea. Those who are willing to stay on the border have their own beliefs. Otherwise, they would have quit long ago."

If I become a demigod, I will transfer the Ten Elders to work here. Zhang Yuanqing slandered in his heart.

After sending Wang Xiaoer away, he went to the bathroom, unpacked a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste to wash up, and sent a message to the Queen:

"Public Security Bureau, male dormitory building, room 404."

After washing up, Zhang Yuanqing returned to the room and summoned Iwakawa Kawami:

"Go and keep an eye on Drug Hunter. If there is any situation, contact me through the brand."

Iwakawa Kawami tilted her head, "Is there something wrong with him?"

"There's a big problem!" Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, "His strength is very average, which doesn't match the rumors. There must be a reason. Just keep an eye on him."

The Nanming branch does not have any strong players at the saint stage. Transcendent can't see it, but in the eyes of a level six big shot like him, he can see his depth at a glance.

The possibility of hiding his strength is also unlikely, because there is no need, and hiding his strength will only cause more brothers to die.

So there must be a problem.

Iwakawa Kawami thought for a while and tentatively said, "If I complete the task, can the master reward me with a few whips?"

Zhang Yuanqing kicked her away, "Bitch, go do your work!"

Iwakawa Kawami was kicked out and flew away, drifting away contentedly.

Zhang Yuanqing returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to digest the spirit bodies of the two Spirit Alliance Spirit Advisors.

Absorbing the spirit bodies to increase the power of Taiyin is one of his goals. The two Spirit Advisors have a high status in the Spirit Alliance. If he can find more strongholds from them, he can eradicate them completely.

Furthermore, the Underworld God has escaped to Nanming City, so he must visit the local snake.

According to the information provided by Annie, the Evernight profession has a very big flaw. Every ten days, they have to fall asleep once, each time for three days.

And every time they fall asleep, the nearby life forms will also fall asleep, the range depending on the level.

The Underworld God is a level six saint, and the range of influence will be very large. It is impossible for him to find a desolate mountain range to sleep in. In the territory of Hua Country, there is no place that humans cannot set foot in.

Once or twice is okay, but after many times, the anomaly will definitely be discovered.

There may even be some legends and strange tales. The Spirit Alliance is the local snake and well-informed, so maybe they will have information.

Misspelled words will be corrected later.
