Chapter 1 Signing the Agreement

“Pa!”

Zhang Yuanqing slapped an ancient piece of leather parchment on the table and smiled, “Well then, let’s sign the agreement!”

Lian Sanyue stared intently. On the leather parchment, a short contract was written in golden lettering. The general content was that, from this day forward, Lian Sanyue would be the Minister of the "Dark Department" of the Returned from the Dead, and must not betray the organization or slaughter its members. If the agreement was violated, she would return to the Lingjing Xingzhe on the spot!

As an artificer, the moment Lian Sanyue's fingertips touched the leather parchment, she sensed the auras of two different professions. One came from the Void profession, and the other was upright, dignified, and filled with righteousness, somewhat like the Knights of the First District.

Seeing Lian Sanyue frown, Zhang Yuanqing smiled:

“When employees are hired, they always have to sign a labor contract, right?”

Lian Sanyue sneered, “Why don’t you just take out a non-compete agreement?”

Zhang Yuanqing shook the leather parchment in his hand, “Void plus Knight is both a labor contract and a non-compete agreement.”

The leather parchment was a prop of the Knight profession, used to establish contracts, and the content of the agreement on the paper was written by his uncle himself, which was a transaction.

As long as Lian Sanyue signed and affixed her fingerprint on the leather parchment, the contract would be established. By accepting the black iron box, the transaction would be completed.

“You’d rather have others challenge you…”

Yinyue Shen took a deep breath and roared, “Li Po, you’re back!!”

After that, he also wiped out the Saints of the Evil camp in the Killing Instance, and led Jiang Ju, Huang Taiji and others to obtain places, achieving the Dominator Realm.

Yue Yanzhe was furious, “Drinking? He can still drink? Shouldn't he be leading you to hunt down the Demon Eye?”

Seeing this, the official members of the Seven Line Alliance were already boiling over.

Lian Sanyue flicked ash from her cigarette and smiled, “Just advanced to Dominator, and already can’t wait to take revenge on the Nan faction?”

“What I want to say is not this,” JOJO Man elegantly licked his claws, “I want you to help me investigate an organization called the Tongzhou Society.”

“It’s okay to follow me, if you don’t want to, then leave.” Yinyue Shen hinted with a double meaning, and then said, “This 80% profit isn’t given to you for nothing, I have something I need you to do.”

“Looks like you’re not that old. The Tongzhou Society is a folk organization in the Seventh District, founded during the War of Resistance. After the establishment of New China, it disappeared. According to Yuanshi Tianzun, many of the higher-ups in the Lawful organizations now, especially the first batch of Lawful Lingjing Xingzhe, were members of the Tongzhou Society. According to age, you have to call me a senior.” JOJO Man immediately put on airs when he heard that Dog Elder didn’t know about the Tongzhou Society.

Lian Sanyue hooked the corners of her lips, “I’ll hold an auction and send out invitations to heroes far and wide. The strong of Evil and Lawful will naturally flock to it. Then, you can screen and lock onto targets at the scene, and then make your move after they leave the Treasure Pavilion.”

Opening the door, an unfamiliar, rich aroma of food wafted into her nose. Smelling that aroma, she had a sense of peace and satisfaction, as if she were in a harbor and her soul was at peace.

Only to see him with a face full of anger, grabbing a piece of paper, and slapping it on the table with a "Pa!" roaring:

“If Jealousy God General was still Lawful, he would be so angry that he would return to Lawful on the spot.” The Ghost Knife Heavenly King, dressed like an old Northwestern man, echoed.

Lian Sanyue straightened her back, picked up the ring to check its properties, and nodded:

Browsing the information compiled by the intelligence department of the Soldiers of Cataclysm on her phone, regarding the reactions of the Seven Line Alliance, Heavenly Punishment, and other official organizations to the resurrection of Yuanshi Tianzun.

If the Tongzhou Society wanted to become an official organization in the Seventh District, then they would have a motive for assassinating the Lingjing Master, but the fact is that the Seven Line Alliance and the Taiyi Gate became official organizations.

That woman, she's plucking my wool as soon as she comes... Yinyue Shen thought for a moment and said:

She sat lazily, her gaze scrutinizing, with a cigarette between her fingers, displaying the airs of a madam. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was the boss.

“No problem, but I can only refine Dominator-level items of low quality at most. Don't even think about medium or high quality. That's beyond my ability to refine, and the success rate is very low. The cost of materials alone would send you into bare-assed debt.”

Yinyue Shen didn’t hide anything, “What suggestions do you have?”

Dog Elder automatically ignored the last sentence, and asked with consideration, “What are you investigating the Tongzhou Society for?”

His enemies are Ling Tuo, he cannot be careless, the more cautious the better, any possible loopholes must be plugged, Lian Sanyue is chaotic neutral, moody, and the two do not have deep feelings or life-and-death friendship.

He has many Dominator-level items, and the cost of each one is huge, and the Artisan’s Ring that can reduce the cost of using items can be called a divine artifact.

…

He entered the password and twisted the handle of the anti-theft door.

Dog Elder sighed, “Intuition tells me that this is a suicidal act. I can help, but only to the extent of helping.”

“Didi…”

“He’s sending me a challenge, then I’ll send him a challenge.” Fear Heavenly King said.

Yinyue Shen nodded, took back the leather parchment, snapped his fingers, and left in a surge of starlight.

As for how he was resurrected, the post didn’t describe it in detail.

Lian Sanyue thought for a moment, bit her fingertip, and signed the contract. The leather parchment lit up with a pure bronze light, and the rules were quietly established.

Lian Sanyue changed the subject, sighing, “Boss, I have a shallow foundation and can’t come up with treasures that can attract the strong. I really can’t do anything about that.”

“I’m defecting to Yuanshi Tianzun, following Shura has no future! Next time we meet, I’ll kill you guys.”

“After Taiyin returned, the two demigods of the Night Wanderer profession are both wary of each other, waiting for the Sun Instance to open. I guess they can’t spare the energy to deal with Yuanshi Tianzun.” Ghost Knife Heavenly King’s face was full of worry, “How can I get Yuanshi Tianzun to take the initiative to send me a challenge?”

Lian Sanyue gently pursed her red lips on the cigarette butt, and had an idea between a puff and an exhale, “In a war between two countries, what is the most important thing?”

“Think of a way to upgrade this item to the Dominator level. Its original nature is a top-grade item at the Saint stage, and it’s the same profession as you, so it shouldn’t be difficult.”

The lowest level of the first batch of Lawful Lingjing Xingzhe who are still alive are level four, and a few have even become demigods.

Zhang Yuanqing’s forehead veins bulged: “I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to see Shura.”

Yinyue Shen added, “You take 80% of the wealth from the auction, and 10% is turned over to the organization.”

“Jealousy God General has already returned to Lawful, it’s good not to see it.” The Fear Heavenly King said with emotion.

The Returned from the Dead has just been formed, and urgently needs funds. It's completely understandable to sell machine weapons for money. If the Seven Line Alliance wants to hold him accountable, let Fu Qingyang handle it.

Life source fluid can be obtained from Gongzhu. She has the Demon Refining Pot, and the quality of her life source fluid is stronger than that of the Musician family. Machine weapons will be the responsibility of Xiahou Aotian.

As for materials, directly get credit from Vice President Panxi, as for dominator-level items, ask uncle, so many treasures hanging on the Myriad Treasure Tree, are they just for decoration?

If Yuanshi Tianzun were to take out a bare-assed loan, wouldn't all the women in the world have to foot the bill! Yinyue Shen self-deprecatingly thought, "That's enough, when can it be completed?"

... Dog Elder sighed, "Alright."

Unexpectedly, there was even more explosive news to come. After official investigation and certification, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who truly solved the problem of the disappearance of moral values.

The trauma after the disaster should have caused the Lawful Yanyue Xingzhe to have low morale, but these two pieces of news were shocking and earth-shattering, greatly boosting morale and easing the anxiety and unease of the middle and high-level Yanyue Xingzhe.

“I only have one request for you...”

…

The content simply described the phenomenon of the merging of instances in the two districts caused by the Lawful failure, and focused on announcing the news of Yuanshi Tianzun's resurrection and return. The poster claimed that after Yuanshi Tianzun returned to Lawful at the Council of Judgment, the headquarters, thinking of his unjust death, could not bear to see a talented figure perish like this, so it secretly resurrected him.

Between the two of them was a folding table, filled with barbecue, and two boxes of beer underneath.

Yuanshi Tianzun was resurrected, just in time for the opening of the faction war in the First District, so the headquarters asked him to change his identity and go overseas to fight against the Evil faction. And Yuanshi Tianzun lived up to expectations, achieved military exploits in New York County, and killed several peak Saints of the Evil faction in the Seventh District with his own strength.

Must guard against it.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "..."

Yinyue Shen added, "Of the wealth from the auction, you take 80%, and 10% is turned over to the organization."

“Fear, that bastard Demon Eye has defected.”

Yinyue Shen stroked his chin and said, "Good idea, even if we can't attract big fish, we can use small fish to find the vine."

"It's his freedom to leave," Fear Heavenly King didn't care at all, "The members of the Soldiers of Cataclysm are free, if you want to join, I accept, if you want to leave, I won't keep you."

#List of the current Saint Realm Killing Instance: Yuanshi Tianzun, Huang Taiji, Jiang Ju, Yin Ji, Xiahou Aotian, Da Yuan#

The reborn hero returned, and the much-talked-about Juman, the Saint Juman who won glory for the Seventh District, turned out to be Yuanshi Tianzun.

…

“Tongzhou Society?” Dog Elder tilted his dog head, “I don’t know that organization.”

“I don’t know, so I want to investigate,” JOJO Man said.

Northwest, headquarters of the Soldiers of Cataclysm, Fear Heavenly King sat on the viewing platform on the mountainside, grilling with one hand and drinking beer with the other, with his arm condensed on his back holding his phone.

JOJO Man observed his expression, "Yuanshi Tianzun said that you are my father's adoptive father and can be trusted."

“Aren’t you tired of hearing Shura’s ‘bad’?” Ghost Knife Heavenly King said unhappily.

JOJO Man nodded, “I don’t expect you to be able to investigate the truth, it’s enough if you can help. Besides, I am a member of the Returned from the Dead, responsible for gathering intelligence, so, most of the time, I won’t help you. Unless you encounter danger, or want to enter an instance.”

“My predecessor's husband once wanted to return to China to establish an official organization, so that the Lawful Yanyue Xingzhe in the Seventh District could have a system as soon as possible. He tried to communicate with the government eight times. The seventh time, the Chinese government refused, but he was attacked on his way to China and almost died...”

Saying that, he took out the "Artisan’s Ring" and slapped it on the table:

The official forum of the First District forwarded the Seven Line Alliance's post, and the discussion was also intense.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yinyue Shen, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, took the elevator to Grandma Li’s house.

This news was like adding fuel to the fire, and suddenly pushed the topic to a climax. The official forum of the Seven Line Alliance, the work groups of official Xingzhe, and private chat groups were all discussing Yuanshi Tianzun.

“Grain, soldiers, and weapons,” Yue Yanzhe said.

…

There were seven stools by the table, Zhang Yuanqing invited Demon Eye over.

A cat and a dog looked at each other in a pet-filled house.

Fear Heavenly King stared for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze, “Let’s drink, let’s drink.”

But it is a Saint-quality item, unable to reduce the cost of Dominator-level items.

Dog Elder frowned.

“I just like to be possessed in a dog’s body, and I don’t have any indecent thoughts about cats and dogs.” Dog Elder explained irritably.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the official account of the Seven Line Alliance posted a post on the forum:

“Investigating an old case,” JOJO Man got straight to the point:

She smiled and put away the white iron box, and said with a smile, "Boss, what else do you need?"

“Your next job is to help me collect information about the Nan faction, Transcendent, Saint, and Dominator.” Yinyue Shen said.

Yinyue Shen cooperated and showed his face in front of the Songhai official Xingzhe, and was photographed and videoed to confirm the official announcement.

Lian Sanyue's face bloomed with a smile, "Boss, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

“The Animal Park.”

Dog Elder listened with a "hiss hiss" and said in a deep voice, "Your predecessor believes that the Tongzhou Society assassinated the Lingjing Master? If that’s the case, then what is the Tongzhou Society's benefit?"
