Chapter 118 Katherine

"You don't believe in gods?" Katherine retorted.

"I do. I believe in God, Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens. Before my parents were killed by forced demolition, my family used to go to temples to burn incense regularly," Zhang Yuanqing said indifferently. "Believing doesn't hurt."

He unconsciously imitated Zhai Cai's tone, making himself sound very annoying.

Katherine leaned back lazily in her chair, looking at the newbie with a superior attitude, and chuckled, "It's understandable for ordinary people not to believe in gods, but we shouldn't disbelieve in the existence of gods. You are a peak Saint, and you've entered the Lingjing many times. You should have come into contact with a lot of information that lower-level Xingzhe can't access."

I have come into contact with a lot of information, but I really haven't entered the Lingjing that many times. Zhang Yuanqing maintained a detached and listening posture, listening to Katherine talk eloquently, "Haven't you ever been curious about who created the Lingjing? Haven't you ever been curious about what level is above Demigod? Demigod, the name itself should imply that if there is no God, how could there be the title of 'Demigod'?"

Zhang Yuanqing pretended to be thoughtful and nodded, "That makes sense. So, where are the gods? In the Lingjing?"

Katherine shook her head, "No one knows where the gods are. The sacred殿 (hall) where the gods reside is not something mortals can explore."

"So the gods give you revelations and let you destroy the Holy See? If the gods are omnipotent, why do they need your help? If the gods created the Lingjing, all the Lingjing Xingzhe in the world are just toys in their palms. Why bother destroying the Holy See?" Zhang Yuanqing tried hard to get information.

"Because the gods cannot descend to the mortal world, so they must let the Juǎn Zhě (zealots) walking in the mortal world punish the heretics for the gods." Katherine raised her head, revealing a fanatical and admiring expression, as if she was proud of her identity as a "Juǎn Zhě."

The gods cannot descend to the mortal world? Zhang Yuanqing obtained two relatively important pieces of information: first, there are administrator-level beings in the Lingjing, which are the gods Katherine mentioned. Second, the gods are trapped in the Lingjing and cannot come to reality.

He pondered and asked, "Can I understand it this way? The so-called gods you're talking about are the gods of our Free Faction. Then, there are also gods in the Order Faction."

"No!" Katherine said in a low voice, "The Order Faction has no gods. Otherwise, why would the Holy See have been destroyed a century ago?"

Katherine's words made Zhang Yuanqing's heart sink. The Order Faction has no gods? That's right, I remember the president said that the last administrator, Nüwa, died during the ancient virus invasion.

In other words, the Order Faction no longer has gods.

But if the Order Faction has no gods, who is Haotian mentioned in the Sacrificial Heaven Set? Zhang Yuanqing was secretly vigilant, thinking that this Haotian might be the alias of some evil god.

Throughout history, it seems that only the First Emperor communicated with Haotian, and then the First Emperor was finished, and the Great Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation.

Damn, after collecting the Sacrificial Heaven Set in the future, I can't communicate with Haotian. I have to investigate the First Emperor first.

"I don't care about the gods. I just want to know what treasures are in the Pope's relics." Zhang Yuanqing wanted to continue asking, but he didn't dare to show too much curiosity about the topic of "gods."

He was worried that the masters behind the surveillance cameras would notice something.

"At its peak, the Holy See had three Demigods! They were the Pope, the Cardinal, and the leader of the Knights Templar, the Paladin. According to the descriptions of the predecessors of the Free Alliance, before the Pope died, he extracted the source power of the Cardinal and the Paladin, sealed them, and sent them to the Holy See's treasure vault. After the Pope died, the Holy Plate disappeared for more than a hundred years! It was only recently that we found it." Katherine said, "This is also why no Paladin profession has a Demigod appear."

The source power of the Cardinal and the Paladin? It should be the same as the Taiyin source, belonging to the administrator authority of the Order profession.

Zhang Yuanqing's spirit was lifted, full of excitement and desire. Originally, in his mind, more than a hundred years ago, the Lingjing had just appeared, the number of Lingjing Xingzhe was not large, the level was not high, and they were in the pioneering stage.

The Holy See was indeed the strongest organization in the world at that time, but it was probably just a novice village.

At most, there were a few Dominator-level props and one or two Saint-level rule-type props in the Holy See's treasure vault, or even none. He didn't expect that there would actually be administrator authority!

Zhang Yuanqing made his eyes flicker with greed and asked, "Did you find that knight! Is there any news about the whereabouts of the other two Holy Plates?"

Katherine nodded, "That knight has been found, but we can't touch him for the time being."

"Why?"

"He is hiding in Winnie Brent's house."

Huh? The single-lineage knight knows Winnie? He actually hid in the Chief Prosecutor's house, which is quite smart.

Zhang Yuanqing clicked his tongue twice in his heart and listened to Katherine continue, "As for the other two Holy Plates, we have already investigated Huo Zhengkui's life. After investigation, we found a clue to a Holy Plate. Huo Zhengkui donated a bronze artifact called 'Zhou Ji Fengniao Zun' to Huaguo, and not long ago, Fu Qingyang, the newly promoted dignitary of the Five Elements Alliance, personally went to the Beijing Museum to appreciate this artifact."

"If there are Holy Plate fragments hidden in that bronze artifact, then unfortunately, it has probably been taken first by Fu Qingyang. But we can't figure out why he was able to find the Zhou Ji Fengniao Zun in advance?"

When she said these words, Katherine's eyes stared at Zhang Yuanqing with a hidden meaning.

The Free Alliance has eyes and ears everywhere. There are indeed members of the Free Alliance within the Five Elements Alliance. According to Katherine's meaning, she has some doubts about this matter.

Zhang Yuanqing was secretly horrified. After thinking for a few seconds, he deliberately sighed, "I understand."

Katherine was stunned, "What do you understand?"

"I understand why Fu Qingyang was able to investigate that artifact before us." Zhang Yuanqing said coldly, "That Daoist Xiaoyao Jianxian (Wandering Sword Immortal) is a member of the Five Elements Alliance. He passed the information to Fu Qingyang."

Katherine frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I understand!"

Having many aliases has its benefits. You can just pass the buck!

Zhang Yuanqing's passing the buck is based on evidence. Xiaoyao Jianxian is also an insider and comes from the second largest collection area.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Xiaoyao Jianxian is an official member, it is reasonable and reasonable for the Five Elements Alliance to secretly arrange spies to come and investigate intelligence and carry out confidential missions during the turmoil in New Covenant County. It seems that Katherine has realized this.

"I will send someone to keep an eye on Xiaoyao Jianxian. You don't have to worry about the Holy Plate fragments for the time being. Because Julian's death has intensified the conflict between Heavenly Punishment and us, the situation will be very tense for a period of time in the future. We need your ability, so just lie low and wait for the mission." Katherine said.

She wants to temporarily exclude me from the Holy Plate mission. The Hunter Guild wants to control a Holy Plate and take back the initiative from here. Zhang Yuanqing did not refuse.

"I will check my phone once every night when there is no mission. Let me know in advance if there is a mission." After saying that, under Katherine's resentful gaze, he used Dream Shuttle and left without hesitation.

Zhang Yuanqing shuttled continuously in the dream realm, not returning to Heavenly Punishment immediately, but coming from Kings County to the neighboring Queens District. He casually found a hotel and entered an empty suite.

He sat down at the desk and sent a message to the president: "Mission completed. I am already an internal member of the Free Alliance. The superior is Katherine. Also, I have gathered some intelligence." After sending the message, he began to count silently. Ten seconds later, a man in a yellowish-brown pajamas appeared in the suite, wearing a silver mask and with messy hair.

"You really can locate me." Zhang Yuanqing hummed.

"Nonsense, that heart of yours was sealed by me. Even if you go to the moon, I can locate you." The president replied, and then said, "End the meaningless conversation quickly and get down to business."

Zhang Yuanqing then told the president the information he had gathered from Katherine.

"There is actually administrator authority in the Holy See's treasure vault? Good news, great news." The president paced back and forth in the room excitedly.

Only administrator authority could make someone of his level so excited.

After being excited, he calmed down, "Logically speaking, I should do my best to search for the Holy Plate fragments and collect the Holy Plate as soon as possible, but in this way, the Free Alliance will realize that we are always one step ahead of them. You can use Xiaoyao Jianxian to prevaricate about Fu Qingyang's matter, but it is difficult to use this reason a second time."

"Once the Free Alliance becomes suspicious of you, the undercover mission will be difficult."

"The undercover mission is not as important as administrator authority, is it?"

"But you are more important than administrator authority. You are the Lord of the Sun we are supporting." The president thought for a second and said, "The Hunter Guild doesn't want Tongtian Jiaozhu to participate in the fragment search anymore. How about this, let Jū Mang, this alias, handle the Holy Plate fragment matter."
