Chapter 362 Three-Person Conspiracy
"To the Honorable Elder 'Challenging the Peak':
"After the series of upheavals brought about by the Tribunal, the Alliance Leaders realized that the infighting among the Ten Elders would only bring endless disaster to the Five Elements Alliance. After much painful consideration, they decided to weaken the headquarters' power and establish independent judicial and supervisory bodies. I, personally, am in charge of forming these two departments.
"You are a highly respected senior, simple and sincere, loyal and upright. Hereby, I, Fu Qingyang, sincerely invite you to return to the Five Elements Alliance and serve as the Chief Judge of the Judicial Department."
.......
"To the Honorable Elder 'Old Man and Dog':
"Your impassioned words at the Tribunal have earned my admiration. You are a senior of high moral character. You are likely aware of the developments after Yuanshi's return to the Lingjing Xingzhe world. As a great man once said, 'The majestic pass is really like iron, but now we are stepping forward from the beginning.'
"The Ten Elders are like that majestic pass to us. Now, I have crossed the perilous pass and seized the opportunity for reform. This is an opportunity created for me by Yuanshi, but I am not happy. That person is gone, leaving only garbage everywhere.
"Getting back to the point, I have already sent an invitation to Elder Gaofeng, hoping that he can serve as the Chief Judge of the Judicial Department, but as you know, although he is a loyal and simple person, he is easily bribed and has close ties with Zhongting. Therefore, I would like to give you the second-in-command position in the Judicial Department so that you can keep him in check."
........
"To the Honorable Elder 'Yellow Sand Battles':
"I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with you again........"
In a spacious and luxurious study, Fu Qingyang sat in front of his computer, his slender fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard, the crisp clatter continuous.
The date was October 8th, the fifth day of Yuanshi Tianzun's return to the Lingjing Xingzhe world.
In the past few days, Fu Qingyang had been actively involved in the establishment of the two major departments, personally handling everything, working day and night, seemingly using work to numb himself.
The Nine Elders were nominally involved, assisting him in establishing the judicial and supervisory departments, but for the nine peak Sovereigns, not hindering him was already a sign of respect for the Alliance Leader.
Fortunately, Fu Qingyang was capable and had a group of well-trained, highly skilled White Tiger Guards. They worked overtime to collect the list of members who had withdrawn from the Five Elements Alliance, and assigned them to different positions according to their personalities.
The Elder-level positions were personally selected by Fu Qingyang. The four Elders who publicly announced their withdrawal from the Five Elements Alliance at the Tribunal were the primary targets, followed by those Elders who had been excluded from the core of power, and then the Elders of the Cai Qinhe faction.
These Elders were now unattached and could be brought under his command, otherwise it would be difficult for Fu Qingyang to contend with the Nine Elders.
Once the structure of the two major departments was stable, he would slowly dig out members of the Nine Elders' faction.
In Fu Qingyang's departmental blueprint, the members of the two major departments were mainly Earth Golems and Scouts. Scouts were keen and good at investigation, while Earth Golems were simple, honest, and most suitable for serving as internal law enforcement personnel.
Ling Jun and Huang Taiji had also been won over. Considering that Flower Master was easily bribed by xing, he was assigned to the Judicial Department.
Huang Taiji, being stable and upright, was assigned to the Investigation Department.
It is worth mentioning that in the past two days, the forum atmosphere had undergone a complete turnaround. After the headquarters issued the announcement that "the Alliance Leader has decided to separate the judicial and investigative departments, to be established by Fu Qingyang," the grassroots Lingjing Xingzhe members of the major branches were jubilant.
In their view, this was the Alliance Leader's attitude, a sign of dissatisfaction with and weakening of the Nine Elders.
This was in line with the wishes and expectations of the grassroots Lingjing Xingzhe members.
Fu Qingyang had become the most popular figure in the Five Elements Alliance, gaining a large number of supporters. Everyone transferred their worship and regret for Yuanshi Tianzun onto him.
After writing the last invitation, Fu Qingyang closed his computer and left the study.
Wearing handmade white leather boots, he came to the headquarters of the Mecha Art Company next door. Scholars were frantically tightening screws, and mecha constructs were being mass-produced.
In the president's office, Xiahou Aotian put his legs on the desk, his body weight on the back of the chair, and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.
"How long has he been like this?" Fu Qingyang asked a security guard who had been transferred from the White Tiger Guards.
The White Tiger Guard sighed, "He's been like this since the end of the Tribunal. He's half-dead, unable to muster any interest in anything. Without the usual antics, even work is boring."
Fu Qingyang was silent. It seemed that Yuanshi's death had hit this carefree guy hard.
It was not surprising. This guy's previous state of life could be described in four words: solitary confinement.
Psychologically speaking.
He did not have much sense of belonging to the Xiahou family. On the contrary, this group of young people who started a business and ran dungeons together made him feel the meaning of partners and friends.
And the core of the small team was undoubtedly Yuanshi Tianzun.
Fu Qingyang walked into the office and knocked on the desk.
"Knock knock!"
Xiahou Aotian turned his eyes and glanced at him, "What's the matter?"
Once a person becomes apathetic and salty, their temperament changes. They have a detached attitude of being free from ego and external things.
"Borrow a divination prop from the Xiahou family master for me, Sovereign-grade. Borrow it today and return it today," Fu Qingyang said.
"Oh!" Xiahou Aotian responded and began to close his eyes and rest.
Fu Qingyang left without saying a word and came to Yuanshi's small apartment villa.
In the living room, Fu Xue leaned lazily on the sofa, enjoying a bunny girl massage with her eyes closed, but her brows were always furrowed, with a look of worry.
Xie Lingxi had returned to the Xie family and would not come again in the future.
The Queen was in the room, living in seclusion, silently digesting her grief.
But what Fu Qingyang was really worried about was Guan Ya. Having lost her first man in her life, and the one she loved most, her cousin had locked herself in her room for the past few days, neither drinking water nor eating, isolating herself from the world.
Fu Xue, who had been unreliable her whole life, had been uncharacteristically reliable lately, not disturbing or comforting, but silently guarding her daughter.
"She hasn't come out yet?" Fu Qingyang looked down at his aunt.
Fu Xue opened her eyes, waved for the bunny girl to leave, and sighed:
"Let her stay by herself. When I divorced your uncle, I was in the same state. I felt that life was meaningless, and life was gray."
Fu Qingyang said coldly: "But I remember that you went out to sleep with young fresh meat not long after that."
Fu Xue shrugged: "That's right, there are so many handsome guys in the world, someone will always bring you happiness. People don't live for love. Love is just a condiment in life. Making money is the ultimate goal of life."
Fu Qingyang suddenly said: "It's not too late for you to go back and hug the Miller family's thighs now."
Fu Xue rolled her eyes:
"My assets are all in the mecha company. What's the point of hugging the Miller family's thighs? Alas, Guan Ya's girl has a stubborn personality. Yuanshi has returned to the Lingjing Xingzhe world. She won't be able to get out of the shadow for a few years, and I can't control her now. She's already Level 5."
She was calm on the surface, but Fu Qingyang could see that his aunt felt deep regret and loss over the death of that young man.
Fu Xue picked up her health tea and took a sip, "Let's talk about you. You and the Nine Elders have completely torn your faces,削了人家三分之二的权力 (shāo le rénjiā sān fēn zhī èr de quánlì - weakened their power by two-thirds). This is an irreconcilable situation. Aren't you afraid of them assassinating you?"
For example, selling Fu Qingyang's whereabouts and information to Sovereigns of the evil faction.
This kind of operation is a routine operation in Tianfa.
"Below Level 9, coming here is a death sentence!" Fu Qingyang left these words indifferently and turned to leave.
Walking out of the small courtyard, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Chenghuang's number again:
"Chenghuang, borrow a stargazing prop from your great-grandfather for me, Sovereign-grade."
"Okay!" Zhao Chenghuang agreed immediately.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiahou Aotian sent a Bagua Compass by the White Tiger Guard. The stargazing prop was delivered by Zhao Chenghuang himself, arriving in Songhai at eight o'clock in the evening.
Fu Qingyang put away the two props and came to the villa's rooftop alone.
He wrote "The probability of resurrecting Yuanshi Tianzun!" on the back of the yellow paper talisman.
And pasted it on the edge of the Bagua Compass.
........
Good Music Hotel.
In the large suite at the end of the corridor, the Zhisha Palace Master, dressed in a red dress, sat in front of the dressing table, her fair hand holding a wooden comb, humming a light song and elegantly combing her hair.
"Ding!"
The mobile phone on the table rang.
She put down the comb, picked up her phone and checked the message.
[Fu Qingyang: Conference call, link sent to you.]
The corner of the Zhisha Palace Master's mouth hooked up. She opened the chat software, first agreed to Fu Qingyang's friend request, and then received the link sent by the other party.
She clicked on the link, and the phone interface jumped to the conference call.
The Zhisha Palace Master pressed the microphone and chuckled, "You finally came to me. You're two days later than I expected. Tsk tsk, Yuanshi Tianzun's death has hit you so hard that you've become so slow."
Fu Qingyang ignored her teasing, and the microphone icon lit up:
"Wait a moment, there's one more person."
........
Northwest Gobi, the Soldiers of Christ.
In a flat-roofed house built of yellow earth and bricks, the Devil Eye Heavenly King was drunk.
After the Soldiers of Christ withdrew from the capital, the Enchanting Demons began a two-day, two-night carnival. Although they suffered heavy losses in this battle, the Five Elements Alliance suffered even greater losses.
Internally, they almost split apart, the Nine Elders were weakened, and since the end of the Tribunal, a total of 12 Sovereigns have sacrificed themselves.
Yuanshi Tianzun, who made the three major organizations feel terrified, also returned to the Lingjing Xingzhe world.
The entire Five Elements Alliance was like that swordsman who often got lost, cut again and again.
For a long time to come, they would not have to worry about the search and capture of the Five Elements Alliance.
Only the Devil Eye Heavenly King silently returned to his residence, closed the door and drank alone, getting himself completely drunk.
It's not the wine that intoxicates people, it's people who intoxicate themselves.
"Ding dong!"
The phone rang. The Devil Eye Heavenly King opened his sleepy drunken eyes and stared.
"I am Fu Qingyang. Add me as a friend and discuss how to resurrect Yuanshi Tianzun."
The Devil Eye Heavenly King instantly sobered up. At this moment, he heard his frantic heartbeat, and heard the roar of blood in his blood vessels.
Adrenaline was secreted frantically.
Without any hesitation, he copied the phone number and added the other party as a friend.
Fu Qingyang immediately sent a string of links.
The Devil Eye didn't even consider whether this was a trap, and clicked directly. The phone interface jumped to the online conference room.
There were only two people in the conference room. One was Fu Qingyang with a "selfie in a white suit" as his avatar, and the other was a woman in a red dress with a silver mask.
The other was the cartoon three-eyed boy avatar.
As soon as the Devil Eye went online, he heard the red-skirted woman "chi" laugh: "Such a childish avatar."
Fu Qingyang said lightly, "Happy cooperation!"
Only the Devil Eye could understand what he meant. The Soldiers of Christ were able to seize the gap when the Nine Elders, the Alliance Leader, and the Gate Masters were not in reality, and launch a surprise attack on the capital, precisely because there was Fu Qingyang as an insider.
The Devil Eye Heavenly King ignored the words of the two and quickly took out a soundproofing prop before he couldn't wait to say:
"Can you resurrect Yuanshi Tianzun? How to resurrect! Fu Qingyang, if you dare to lie to me, I will personally go to Songhai and tear you apart."
Although his level had not been raised, the Enchanting Eye had transformed.
Even a powerful being like the Fear Heavenly King would suffer from spiritual power loss and be greatly weakened if stared at by the Enchanting Eye.
High-level beings were like this. Lingjing Xingzhe of the same level or lower levels could basically be sent back to the Lingjing Xingzhe world with just a glance.
The Devil Eye's Enchanting Eye, like Fu Qingyang's "skill approaching the Dao", was a magical skill that could randomly kill Lingjing Xingzhe of the same level.
Fu Qingyang's avatar lit up the microphone, his tone unchanged, forever indifferent: "The Chu family's Mother Goddess Uterus can resurrect the dead, even if they have been destroyed in both body and spirit."
The Devil Eye Heavenly King's burst of enthusiasm instantly cooled, and he said in a deep voice:
"The conditions for using the Mother Goddess Uterus are that there must be blood relatives for sacrifice, and there must be a sufficient amount of blood and flesh rich in spiritual power left behind during life.
"If Yuanshi Tianzun's parents are still alive, I can capture them to the northwest, but how do we obtain the blood rich in spiritual power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the microphone of the woman in the red dress light up:
"I have a flesh and blood doppelganger of Yuanshi Tianzun."
The Devil Eye Heavenly King heard his frantic heartbeat again. He pressed the microphone: "Rea-really?"
The Zhisha Palace Master said "Hmm":
"I can send that doppelganger over. The problem is that the northwest is the territory of the Soldiers of Christ, guarded by the Four Heavenly Kings. It's too risky for Yuanshi Tianzun to be resurrected in a wolf's den.
"And although Shura is sleeping, every move in the stronghold is within his perception. You'd better find a way to take the Mother Goddess Uterus out of the Soldiers of Christ."
Fu Qingyang interjected: "I called you two here tonight to discuss the specific details. I have already used stargazing and divination props in advance to calculate that the operation to resurrect Yuanshi Tianzun will go smoothly, but after all, it involves the high-level members of the Soldiers of Christ, so the results may not be accurate."
Unexpectedly reliable... The Devil Eye Heavenly King was greatly relieved after hearing this and said:
"The Fear Heavenly King runs around all day. He yearns for freedom and will not allow himself to stay in one place for a long time. As for Shura, he won't care. To him, we are all ants, and Yuanshi Tianzun is an ant among ants.
"Would you care about the resurrection of an ant?"
He didn't even bother to reject the ants.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun was a thorn in the side of the evil organization, this was relative to the Sovereigns and Saints.
Demigods don't care about Yuanshi Tianzun's life or death, let alone Shura, the strongest among the demigods.
"What about Silver Moon, Ghost Blade, and Extermination?" Fu Qingyang asked.
The Devil Eye Heavenly King pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Just lure them out of the northwest. Silver Moon's parents were smuggled into the Free Federation when they were young and were imprisoned on a farm as slaves for the rest of their lives. What he hates most in his life is when someone says he is a slave. He prides himself on his personal freedom and no one can be his master. He even dares to scold Shura.
"To deal with him, just make a phone call and say: You lowly slave-born bastard, come over and die!
"He will lose his mind and come over to fight you desperately."
"Not a bad idea." Fu Qingyang nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
The Devil Eye Heavenly King continued: "As for Ghost Blade, it's even simpler. Send a challenge letter, and he will accept it."
"What about Extermination Heavenly King?" The Zhisha Palace Master asked.
The Devil Eye Heavenly King thought for a while, "Extermination is bloodthirsty by nature. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't get blood on his hands for three days. Tomorrow is the third day. I just need to tell him that a small army has infiltrated the northwest recently, and he will excitedly rush over."
Fu Qingyang and the Zhisha Palace Master were silent for a while.
What they were most worried about was how to resurrect Yuanshi Tianzun in the wolf's den and retreat calmly under the noses of Shura and the Heavenly Kings.
They didn't expect it to be solved so easily?
Sure enough, it's good to have an insider.
