Chapter 1 The Carefree Swordsman

Zhai Cai was stunned. He thought for a few seconds and said, "He's from the Five Elements Alliance."

The Palace Master of Zhisha Palace nodded slightly. "There are many dark agents like him in New Covenant County!"

The conflict between the orderly and evil factions in New Covenant County has attracted worldwide attention. As one of the most powerful orderly organizations in the world, it is normal for the Five Elements Alliance to send secret agents to infiltrate New Covenant County.

Zhai Cai had previously speculated that the Carefree Swordsman of the Anti-Black and White Alliance in the Second District might be an official member. Now, hearing what the woman in the red dress said, the guess in his heart was confirmed!

"So, are you here today to intercept or to help?" The Single-Lineage Knight smiled, squinting.

"Help!" the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace said indifferently!

The Single-Lineage Knight loosened his grip on his sword, shrugged, and looked at the Thunder Mage struggling in the talisman formation. "You're a musician, right? Find a way to hypnotize him. I have something to ask him!"

At this moment, Qian Ning. Lu let out a deep roar, and a strong electric light burst out from his body. The six black talismans arranged in a circular pattern trembled violently, and the boundary formation showed signs of collapse!

Trying to break through the formation of the Refinement God Talisman—physical means are impossible. Only attacks in the spiritual realm can work!

But this is not the area that the Thunder Mage is good at. Although thunder and lightning restrain wraiths, they are not spiritual spells in nature.

The Thunder Mage's soul is not as powerful as a Night Wanderer or Illusionist!

However, the Refinement God Talisman still showed signs of loosening in Qian Ning. Lu's outbreak. After all, the Executive Minister is an eighth-level Thunder Mage, and his status is there. Even if he is not good at the power of the spiritual realm, his foundation is also there.

From the perspective of the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace, even if Qian Ning. Lu broke free from the restraints of the Refinement God Talisman by brute force, he would still not escape death.

Because there are still two dominators guarding outside the formation!

But since the Single-Lineage Knight wanted to extract information, she could not sit idly by and watch Qian Ning. Lu destroy the Refinement God Talisman.

So she looked back and warned, "Cover your ears!"

Zhai Cai shrugged. "The knight has indomitable will. Do as you please. Don't mind me!"

The Palace Master of Zhisha Palace didn't waste any words, took a deep breath, and let out a sharp soprano like a dolphin.

Zhai Cai's eyes went black. He only felt that countless steel needles were inserted into his head and blood oozed from his ears. His spiritual realm was subjected to a penetrating attack by sound waves.

"This noise is so harsh. You should have said so sooner!" The Single-Lineage Knight covered his head and bared his teeth.

In the terrible and ear-piercing noise, Qian Ning. Lu's spiritual body also suffered unimaginable attacks and was weakened. The originally trembling paper talisman returned to stability!

The Thunder Mage, who was not good at the spiritual realm in the first place, gradually lost his resistance under the attack of the Refinement God Talisman and the musician's sound waves.

The power of the soul was削再削, and his eyes became turbid and his consciousness gradually blurred. Seeing this, the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace stopped screaming, and deep vortexes appeared in her clear, water-like beautiful eyes. At the same time, her voice seemed to contain the power to soothe people's hearts.

"Qian Ning. Lu, we are companions. We are companions!" No one here can resist the musician's voice, just as no one can resist the charm of the lust profession!

Qian Ning. Lu first showed a struggling look, then his eyes retained the heartache brought by the Refinement God Talisman. The preparedness and hostility dissipated, and after a while, his eyes became empty, and he muttered:

"We are companions, why don't you save me? Why don't you save me?"

The Palace Master of Zhisha Palace nodded. "Don't worry, I'll save you now!"

She gently waved her wide sleeves, allowing the six black talismans to float up one by one, connecting end to end and drilling into her sleeves!

This move was the final step in催眠. The moment the Refinement God Talisman was taken back, Qian Ning. Lu's last trace of resistance completely dissipated, and he stood there woodenly, like a soul-less puppet!

The Palace Master of Zhisha Palace looked at Zhai Cai!

The Single-Lineage Knight pondered for a few seconds and said, "Why is the Hunter Guild, no, the Free Covenant, dealing with old Berent?"

Old Berent is Vinnie Berent's grandfather.

Qian Ning. Lu was silent for a while and said truthfully, "Because old Berent has a piece of the Holy Plate fragment from the Vatican in his hand."

Holy Plate fragment—the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace's heart moved. She had heard Yuanshi mention the Holy Plate fragment and the Vatican treasure. He had two pieces in his hand.

One piece is in the hands of the annoying Single-Lineage Knight. If Qian Ning. Lu's information is reliable, then the whereabouts of the last Holy Plate fragment will also be known!

Zhai Cai啧了一声, "How did you know that old Berent had a Holy Plate fragment in his hand?"

Qian Ning. Lu replied, "We found out from the relationship between Jia Chengfei and the Anti-Black and White Alliance that the source of the Holy Plate fragment was Huo Zhengkui. After a detailed investigation of Huo Zhengkui's life, the organization locked down the location of the remaining two fragments—one fragment was hidden in the Zhou Ji Fengniao Zun, which was returned to China by Huo Zhengkui in 1955!"

"Not long ago, Fu Qingyang, the newly promoted掌权者 of the Five Elements Alliance, suddenly went to the Beijing Museum and requested to view the Zhou Ji Fengniao Zun and be alone with that antique for more than a moment. The organization has determined that the fragment has been obtained by Fu Qingyang."

Hearing this, Zhai Cai looked at the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace. "Did that old six, Carefree Swordsman, tell the Five Elements Alliance the information?"

Carefree Swordsman participated in the Holy Plate incident, and even learned about Huo Zhengkui's existence from the leader of the Anti-Black and White Alliance. The Five Elements Alliance could only learn about this through him!

Moreover, the woman in the red dress just said that Carefree Swordsman was a secret agent sent by the Five Elements Alliance to New Covenant County to gather intelligence!

"You're the old six," the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace撇撇嘴!

Qian Ning continued, "The 31st President of the Free Federation once received funding from a Chinese gang leader. The two had a very deep friendship. That gang leader was Huo Zhengkui!"

"Before Huo Zhengkui returned to Lingjing Xingzhe, he seemed to have foreseen the disintegration of the Brotherhood and gave a large number of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and cash to that president under the pretext of funding!"

"After the president died of illness, those things disappeared without a trace. They were neither sold nor donated to museums—nor were they found in his family's treasury. We checked that good president's life and found that old Berent had served as the president's bodyguard when he was young and was a trusted confidant!"

"So it was speculated that those things were taken away by old Berent after the president's death and hidden in the Maze Villa!"

Before Zhai Cai and the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace could speak, Vinnie's voice came from behind: "So, that's why you asked me for the routes to the first and second layers of the maze?"

Looking at the sound, Vinnie was leaning against the iron door and staring at the three of them with empty eyes. The floor two meters in front of her was broken and directly connected to the lower level!

Although her eyes were blind, her hearing was still there. When Qian Ning. Lu cast Thunder Blast just now, she clearly heard the sound of the floor and walls collapsing, so she didn't dare to completely leave the secret room and leaned against the door!

An eighth-level Wind Mage wouldn't die even if she jumped from the top of the building, but it would be very embarrassing!

"I knew a long time ago that your grandfather had a Holy Plate fragment hidden in his maze. I'm a man with a scholar secretary!" Zhai Cai admitted generously. "However, when I sought refuge with your grandfather, I didn't know that he had a fragment hidden in his maze. It was later that I had the secretary analyze Huo Zhengkui's information that I found out!"

"I tried to buy the president's relics from your grandfather, but he refused!"

"That person, your grandfather, is stubborn and pedantic, saying that the president asked him to take good care of those things until the end of his life, so he would never sell them!"

"There's no way, I can only cooperate with you. Anyway, you're very familiar with the Maze Villa—if he doesn't give it, I'll steal it!"

*Is this what an upright knight would say?* The Palace Master was stunned!

Vinnie was silent after hearing this. Just now in the secret room, when he heard Qian Ning. Lu say that the target was his grandfather, not Zhai Cai, he vaguely noticed something was wrong!

Now he understood what was going on!

"I will tell you the routes of the first and second layers of the maze as agreed—however, the Vatican treasure is of great importance. Since I know about it, I can't just pretend I don't see it!" Vinnie said lightly.

"I'll give you five days. If you still can't get the Holy Plate fragment within five days, then it's mine!" This was her biggest concession, and of course, she was worried that if she showed the idea of wanting to occupy the Holy Plate alone in this situation, she would be silenced by Zhai Cai and the Musician Dominator of the Second District!

"No problem, the Thunder Mage is indeed fair!" Zhai Cai didn't know if he really didn't care, or if he was mocking!

Vinnie ignored him and looked at the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace with empty eyes. "Ask him who the Free Covenant's spy is in the Executive Department!"

With Qian Ning. Lu's status, it was impossible for him to be as ignorant as Emma. There might be his downline developed within the Heavenly Punishment!

The Palace Master of Zhisha Palace did not refuse, repeated Vinnie's words, and strengthened the hypnosis, ensuring that Qian Ning, whose spiritual body was extremely weak, was always under her control!

"Mark. Edward, Sinclair. Keith." Qian Ning. Lu blurted out five names in one breath!

Vinnie listened without expression and then said, "Who is your superior? How many spies of your level are there in other orderly organizations?"

Qian Ning. Lu replied, "The person responsible for contacting me is the president of the Hunter Guild. I don't know who he is—he takes the initiative to contact me every time, using network dialing. I don't know how many people are like me in other orderly organizations, but our Dominator-level Lingjing Xingzhe hold a banquet under the gaze of the gods on the 28th of every month!"

"There, everyone's desires can be vented. You can ask any woman present for pleasure, and she cannot refuse. You can also enjoy bloody and violent gladiatorial fights!!"

Qian Ning. Lu said the information truthfully!

"Before the 28th comes, everyone attending the party can make a request to the organization. For example—if you fancy a powerful woman and want to play with her and humiliate her, you can submit an application to the Free Covenant. As long as the contribution is sufficient, the Free Covenant will abduct that powerful woman for you. Or if you want to see your enemies or political opponents killed in gladiatorial fights, after submitting an application and paying contribution points, that enemy or political opponent will appear at the party on the 28th."

Zhai Cai shook his head after hearing this. "You guys in the evil camp really know how to play!"

Vinnie thought of the party that Emma had attended. Her assistant had been lying on a golden bed in a similar banquet, and from then on her cognition was distorted and she became a fallen person!

Vinnie said, "The Free Covenant's model has actually been figured out. Every spy has a superior, and the superior is usually a Dominator from the evil camp. As long as you hunt down the Dominator from the evil camp, you can ferret out the spy!"

Back then, it was because the biological father of the King of Hades, the leader of an evil organization, was hunted down by the Heavenly Punishment—that the organization Free Covenant reappeared in the public eye after a century. That leader of the evil organization was a Dominator-level!

Vinnie asked a few more questions, including how Qian Ning. Lu fell. Unsurprisingly—Qian Ning, who liked women, was not tempted—he was seduced by a fallen Lust profession and joined the party, suffering pollution.

When Vinnie asked almost everything, the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace suddenly said, "How do you spies hide yourselves without being discovered by the Heavenly Punishment?"
