Chapter 1 Ironic

Looking at the pale-faced Yuan Shi Tianzun, Secretary Zhou looked incredibly relaxed. He nodded and said, "It seems you've realized your mistake. Then, see you at the tribunal tomorrow!"

He turned to leave, took two steps, then stopped again. "Almost forgot something."

Secretary Zhou curled the corners of his mouth. "After we eliminated the Human Wanderer, we discovered that he was secretly colluding with the Poison Chaser of the Nanming City branch. The Poison Chaser resisted stubbornly when the matter was exposed, and they have been eliminated. The Investigation Department suspects serious violations of discipline by the colleagues in Nanming City and has arrested them all for investigation. Before the results are out, their assets will be seized and their bank cards frozen."

He resented Yuan Shi Tianzun's arrogance during the negotiation of the ownership of the Underworld, and he also knew that the official Xingzhe (Spirit Wanderers) of the Nanming branch highly respected Yuan Shi Tianzun.

This was the last stab he was making. His purpose in visiting the prison today to humiliate his opponent from a high and victorious position was only a small part of it. The bigger purpose was to provoke Yuan Shi Tianzun.

The public opinion on the forum had gradually been stirred up. Everyone knew that Yuan Shi Tianzun was colluding with evil professions, and countless official Xingzhe were turning from fans to haters.

Next, as long as Yuan Shi Tianzun maintained his rebellious attitude at the tribunal, the entire officialdom would form a "kill Yuan Shi Tianzun" sentiment.

So, he wanted to stimulate Yuan Shi Tianzun. How to completely kill an enemy? First, attack his heart, then take his life, and you can rest easy.

Secretary Zhou left happily, his purpose achieved.

Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling. The faces and smiles of the Wuchen Hotel team flashed before his eyes. The Poison Chaser must have been desperate at the time. The Human Wanderer was his only relative in the world. He had fought against drug dealers and evil forces all his life. The dam he had been building all his life was not drowned by the flood, but killed by his own people.

The Human Wanderer was finally no longer wandering.

Remember for a second

Yang Bo could finally relax and wouldn't have to appeal anymore. Lin Zichong had killed so many people and would probably go to hell, and would not see his honest parents in heaven.

Hopefully, Tong Tong will have a happy childhood in her next life, and Aunt Fang will have better judgment in her next life and not marry a scumbag.

Sister Hong Mo was too beautiful but was born into an ordinary family. May she be born into a good family in her next life.

Liang Chen missed many bosses in this life, but at least Bei Yue didn't disappoint him. May he not be so cowardly in his next life, if he is still willing to come to the human world.

Dong, dong, dong. Zhang Yuanqing's head hit the wall again and again, a fire burning in his heart.

He also thought of Wuchen Dashi (Grandmaster Wuchen). He already understood the root cause of this tragedy; dealing with him was just a side effect.

Whether it was the Nan faction, Dark Night Rose, or Cai Changlao (Elder Cai), what they really wanted was that demigod item.

Slaughtering the team members was to stimulate Grandmaster Wuchen. Dashi himself was walking a tightrope, maintaining a delicate balance. During the period of impacting the demigod realm, this balance was even more fragile.

Seeing his closest companions being slaughtered one by one because of him, Dashi would inevitably lose control.

With Dashi's wisdom, hadn't he considered that he would become the target of public criticism? Hadn't he considered the crisis of his team members?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly froze. Dashi had considered it, he had considered it.

Dashi had entrusted the team to him that day. Dashi wanted him to be the leader and protect everyone's safety.

He was so preoccupied with his own death tribulation, that while he agreed, he only had Xiao Yuan issue an announcement in the group to "everyone, go into hiding."

It was his dereliction of duty that killed everyone, that killed Grandmaster Wuchen. Dashi trusted him so much.

Disordered footsteps echoed in the underground prison of the Linggan Temple. Curly-haired Teddy walked silently in the front, followed by Ling Jun and Miao Teng'er, and then Guan Ya, Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Xiahou Aotian, Hong Ji Ge (Red Chicken Bro), Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire), Little Green Tea Queen, and Li Chunfeng.

The corridor was long and quiet, and no one spoke.

Everyone's faces were shrouded in haze, or they were trying to suppress their grief, or they were numb and empty, or they were silent and negative.

Finally, led by Gou Changlao (Dog Elder), the group arrived at the deepest cell and saw Yuan Shi Tianzun. Everyone was shocked.

The young man before them seemed to have become a different person. The high-spirited temperament had withered overnight, leaving only disappointment, numbness, and emptiness, like an unyielding warrior whose spine had been removed, a noble scholar whose reputation had been ruined, and an arrogant genius who had lost his dignity.

Little Green Tea "wu"ed and covered her mouth, crying. The Queen had red eyes and hugged her.

Ling Jun stepped forward, his expression gloomy. He said in a low voice, "Yuan Shi, I brought them to see you."

This was a place for imprisoning serious criminals. Gou Changlao wasn't even qualified to visit the prison. It was only after Ling Jun and Miao Teng'er begged their grandfather that they were granted half an hour of visitation time.

Gou Changlao sighed. "The headquarters plans to hold a tribunal tomorrow in Tribunal Hall No. 1. That's where Changlao are tried. Yuan Shi, you don't have much time left. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

The specifications for the trial of Yuan Shi Tianzun had reached the highest level. This was a manifestation of the Ten Elders' attitude.

Zhang Yuanqing's numb expression moved slightly, and he finally turned his head.

His gaze swept over everyone, and his empty eyes finally gained a bit of color.

"Didn't you bring food?" He smiled. "Can't even get a last meal before the execution?"

This joke wasn't funny, and no one could laugh.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Ling Jun and said, "Ling Jun, you are a good teacher. I'm very happy to have met you. It's a pity the time was too short."

Ling Jun's eyes turned red, and he forced a smile.

Zhang Yuanqing then looked at Miao Teng'er. "Teng'er, I'm sorry!"

He was referring to the incident of "impersonating" the Demon Lord's successor and kidnapping her.

Miao Teng'er didn't understand, but she responded with red eyes, "It's okay."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at Tian Xia Gui Huo, the Fire Master, who was silent. He said, "Gui Huo, from now on, you are the gang leader. I have great confidence in your leadership ability. Don't let our little team fall apart. You come from humble beginnings, and that's good for you."

Tian Xia Gui Huo's face twitched fiercely. He clenched his fists quietly and said in a low voice, "I will wait for Fu Changlao to return."

He meant, I will avenge you.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and looked at Hong Ji Ge (Red Chicken Bro), who was full of grief. "Hong Ji Ge, don't do anything stupid."
