"This..." Annie looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and gritted her teeth. "The association doesn't prohibit leaking information.

I can tell you, but this matter involves a secret, and you must promise not to reveal it."

"My lips are sealed, and I will never leak it to anyone," Zhang Yuanqing promised.

Annie nodded, having received the promise, raised her glass, took a sip, and then said:

"The opening times of the First District and the Second District are different. The specific time for the First District was 1882,

thirty years earlier than the Second District." Although he didn't know why Annie mentioned these things, Zhang Yuanqing nodded in cooperation. "1882, during the Second Industrial Revolution."

The designations of the First and Second Districts are based on the opening times.

Annie said, "Thirty years is enough to give birth to a group of powerful Lingjing Xingzhe, and an unimaginably powerful organization. At that time, the most powerful Lingjing Xingzhe organization in the world was the European Church."

"The Church?" Zhang Yuanqing straightened his back, his expression changing from casual to serious.

He had never heard of "the Church."

"Yes, the Church." Annie nodded slightly. "At that time, the most powerful group of Lawful Faction members were almost all members of the Church, and their leader, the Pope, was the first demigod in the world. It was an era of heroes,

and also an era when the Church ruled the entire Lingjing Xingzhe world. Evil organizations could only mingle with gangs, hide on farms, and develop their power in the working class. They couldn't interfere in the upper class, because the Church suppressed them so much that they couldn't breathe. Lawful Faction members who didn't want to be ruled by the Church could only become bounty hunters, but they also had to abide by the rules of the Church."

"The Church was powerful because they had a complete inheritance from ancient power users. In the Dark Middle Ages, the Church's cultivators hunted witches, werewolves, and vampires, creating one legend after another.

Their stories spread among the people, were written into books, and eventually evolved into fairy tales."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but think of Little Red Riding Hood, the wooden house in the inner space of the hat, which contained a dark story.

The story mentioned that the daughter of the owner of the wooden house was abducted by a werewolf and gave birth to a baby girl. The woman fled with the werewolf's child and asked a priest for help.

The priest killed the werewolf and made Little Red Riding Hood to seal the girl's werewolf bloodline.

The story of Little Red Riding Hood just happened to verify Annie's statement.

"Although power users later disappeared, the Church's inheritance has always been there.

The stories about ancient power users were written into classics and preserved in the Church's attic, only to be consulted by successive Popes and other high-level officials. After the emergence of Lingjing Xingzhe, the Church was the first to react, accepting the existence of Lingjing without any psychological obstacles, and quickly cultivated elites and recruited talents. Before civilian Lingjing Xingzhe organizations took shape,

the Church was already far ahead."

Speaking of this, Annie paused, her expression a little serious:

"But the good times didn't last long. Thirty years later, World War I began. The war disrupted the world order and shattered the order among Lingjing Xingzhe. The Lingjing Xingzhe of various European countries gathered together in a premeditated and organized manner. Evil and Lawful Faction members joined forces to besiege the Church. At the same time, there were also rebellious forces within the Church. That year, the Second District had just opened...." World War I lasted for four years, defeating Germany and the Church. After that, Heavenly Retribution, the Merchant Guild, the Association of Beauty, the Church of the Sea God... These famous Lawful organizations were born one after another. In your proverb, um, one whale falls, a myriad of creatures thrive."

After listening, Zhang Yuanqing digested it for a long time and asked, "But what does this have to do with Hades?"

Annie said, "That period of history when the Church was destroyed cannot be found in any classics. Neither Lawful nor Evil organizations can find it. That past has been deliberately hidden. Even I, as a Saint, have only heard of the Church. Obviously, there are unknown secrets hidden in it."

Nonsense, even Yuanfang knows this is not simple... Zhang Yuanqing guessed, "So, that Hades knows?"

Annie nodded.

"It has been more than 110 years since the Church was overthrown. The Lingjing Xingzhe who participated in the turmoil that year are almost dead. The remaining ones are all in high positions. The leader of Hades' organization, the Black Night Dream, participated in that turmoil back then. At that time, he should have been a fledgling nobody.

"A few years ago, Heavenly Retribution launched an investigation into 'Black Night Dream' because of a massacre case, and unintentionally discovered some clues related to the Church, and then restarted the pursuit of this past event.

"Major Lawful organizations dispatched elites to arrest the leader of 'Black Night Dream', but that leader resisted stubbornly and paid the price with his life. The high-level officials of Black Night Dream also died in battle. Only 'Hades' survived and successfully escaped the encirclement, wandering to this day."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a few seconds and raised two questions:

"One, are you sure Hades knows those past events? Two, people who survived more than a hundred years ago are all in high positions. What is the attitude of those people towards this matter?"

Annie replied, "There is no need to question the first question. The high-level officials of major organizations naturally have ways to confirm it. As for the second question..." Her expression was tangled, hesitant to speak.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Political struggle?"

After all, he was following Fu Qingyang, and he had accumulated some experience and vision in terms of struggle.

The overthrow of the Church back then had other secrets. The participants are now in high positions within the major Lawful organizations. Coupled with the overseas Lawful organizations' relentless pursuit of Hades.

Obviously, someone within the Lawful organizations wants to use Hades to bring down those in high positions.

This is an internal struggle.

Hades plays the role of a "witness" in it.

Annie smiled bitterly: "I think so too."

Zhang Yuanqing leaned lazily on the soft pillow and fell into a long silence.

The living room was silent. Annie pursed her lips, observed his expression, and took the initiative to speak, "I know this matter is a bit complicated, but..."

"But you have to add money!"

"Ah?"

Zhang Yuanqing stared at the foreign woman and emphasized, "I said, you have to add money!"

.... Annie was caught off guard by his unconventional approach, feeling both happy and confused. She was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, I will relay your request to headquarters. Um, what is your expected price?"

"Double the points and bonuses." Zhang Yuanqing asked for a high price.

Annie's eyes rolled, as if thinking, "Given the importance of Hades, the association headquarters should agree." Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "I'll wait for your news. Also, do you have Hades' flesh and blood tissue?" Annie shook her head.

"Do you have his latest information?"

"No, I only know that he sneaked into China half a month ago."

"Is it possible that it is a smokescreen and he has actually left China?"

"The surrounding countries are all eyes and ears of Heavenly Retribution. I don't think it is likely that he has left China."

No trace, no information, no flesh and blood tissue, isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack? Zhang Yuanqing imitated Xiahou Aotian and touched his chin, "I see. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. Contact me anytime."

He crossed his legs, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and disappeared in the rising starlight. Annie opened her mouth and sighed dejectedly, "He left so decisively..."

Fu Family Bay, the study.

Zhang Yuanqing, who had promised never to reveal it, was enthusiastically discussing the past of the Church with Fu Qingyang.

"So, even the Fu family doesn't know the process of the Church's demise?"

Fu Qingyang shook his head, "The Church was destroyed during World War I. The Fu family rose after World War II. There was half a century in between. I have heard of the Church, but in my impression, the Church was just a fledgling organization in the early days of Lingjing Xingzhe, like those internet celebrities who briefly flashed across the sky, not very important. But now it seems that the truth about the Church's demise is not simple."

"I think it's just a redistribution of the cake." Zhang Yuanqing said, "The Church ruled that chaotic era, but

with the increase of Lingjing Xingzhe,

and with the increase of everyone's levels, ambitious people emerged one after another. Everyone was no longer willing to be ruled by the Church, so they took advantage of World War I and the turbulent situation to overthrow the Church with the joint efforts of Lawful and Evil factions. The overseas Lawful organizations were born in that era."

"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but if that were all, you would not have received the task of capturing Hades today." Fu Qingyang's handsome expression was full of seriousness. "The enemy you are facing is not just Hades, but also those who want Hades."

"Anyway, it's not a Lingjing mission. I will do what I can, and it doesn't matter if I don't complete it." Zhang Yuanqing shrugged.

Fu Qingyang thought for a while and said:

"I must give you a reminder. After catching Hades, don't ask too much. If you accidentally kill him, don't ask the spirit. This matter has little to do with you. There is no need to get involved in it. You have enough karma, so don't provoke overseas forces anymore."

"But this is also a handle, don't you want it, boss?"

"If I were working for Heavenly Retribution, I would naturally not let go of this opportunity."

"Understood," Zhang Yuanqing suddenly said seriously, "By the way, I heard Asano Ryo say that a Level 1 Executor from Heavenly Retribution will lead a team to visit Japan recently. Judging from her words, are our officials and Heavenly Retribution in conflict again?"

"That's not the case," Fu Qingyang said.

After speaking, the two reacted at the same time and looked at each other.

Zhang Yuanqing said "Hey": "Interesting."

"The Heavenly Retribution organization is probably not interested in alcohol, but this is not as important as the fact that the Huaihai branch called me this morning to ask if you have come out of the Lingjing." Fu Qingyang pondered: .... "That Xiahou Aotian, you let him come to Songhai, and I will talk business with him. Taking advantage of the momentum of mechanism techniques, help you solve the Yin-Yang plate."

"He was hung in the sky by the Xiahou family's ancestor." Zhang Yuanqing sighed and briefly talked about Xiahou Aotian's bad character, "I think it's good. It's good to cure his chuunibyou."

After listening, Fu Qingyang commented coldly: "Another piece of trash."

Who isn't trash in your eyes! Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and silently complained.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Huang Taiji's assistant arrived in Songhai, bringing the dual cultivation cotton quilt and taking away the Living Soil and the Beast King Bracelet?

The Yin-Yang Harmony Quilt was woven from silk, and its weight was even lighter than an air-conditioning quilt. Zhang Yuanqing caressed the new prop with fondling, wishing he could immediately find someone to experience the dual cultivation effect, but Guan Ya was in a dungeon, hungry and without abalone.

Zhang Yuanqing took time to return to his grandma's house in the afternoon, bought gifts for his grandparents, aunt, and uncle's family, and was pulled by his uncle to dance in the square after dinner.

His uncle was the new darling of the square dancing aunties. In his uncle's words, "I only took three days to conquer the aunties within a radius of ten miles with my transcendent dance moves."

His uncle pulled Zhang Yuanqing and told everyone that this was his successor, inheriting his beauty and talent. If they didn't believe him, let him perform a dance for everyone.

So Zhang Yuanqing amazed a group of aunties with his transcendent dance moves.

On the way home, his uncle, wearing tight pants and a burgundy suit, patted the shoulder of his successor hard:

"It's because you have a girlfriend, otherwise, if you danced like that tonight, your lifelong affairs would have been settled. The old aunties can't wait to introduce their daughters to you."

Zhang Yuanqing said that this was not a conflict. He could have both a wife and a girlfriend.

His uncle said, "Hey, you're not like me. We in this lineage are very loyal to love."

Zhang Yuanqing thought, "That's not what you thought when you went to the hair salon to sponsor the pretty aunties back then."

"Who am I like then?" he asked.

His uncle said, "Like your father, your father is a philandering prodigal. It's not enough that he married your mother. He always likes to flirt with women outside. Every time he doesn't abide by the code of conduct for men, I beat him. He kneels down and says, 'Big brother-in-law, don't beat me. I will definitely treat Chen Shu well.'"

Zhang Yuanqing thought, "Come on, with your cat-like dance moves, you can beat a peak Ruler?"

He stayed at his grandma's house that night, playing games with his aunt until midnight. The next day, he called Xiahou Aotian again, and he actually answered.

"Protagonist, I heard that you were hung in the sky by your ancestor? What's going on!" Zhang Yuanqing asked, listening to the phone and trying to hold back his laughter.

"That's the ancestor rewarding me." Xiahou Aotian hummed, "I told the ancestor that this protagonist is already Level 6, do you regret what you did back then? The ancestor said that he regretted it very much and praised me, saying, 'Why don't you rise with the wind and soar up ninety thousand miles?'"

"And then?"

"Then he sent me to the sky."

"Brother Aotian, we are fellow disciples."

"Your tone of bragging is just like my uncle. Are you his disciple... Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you. Come to Songhai. Fu Qingyang wants to talk to you about a big business. Brother, I know you need money. I specially fought for this opportunity for you, so come quickly."
