Chapter 648 Terrifying Information

Guan Ya was still lying on the bed, motionless, seemingly not hearing the call so close at hand.

No response, is she dumbfounded? Zhang Yuanqing felt both heartache and pity. He knew that his return to The Way of the Extraordinary must have caused a huge blow to Guan Ya, but he didn't expect her to lose even the basic vigilance and acuity of a Sentinel.

Such a state could probably only be described as "heart as ashes."

He put the parchment scroll in his inventory, lifted the comforter and got into bed, hugging Guan Ya from behind, whispering in her ear:

"Guan Ya, I'm back."

Zhang Yuanqing's hand circled around her waist to her lower abdomen, his chest and stomach pressed against her jade-like back. Just as he embraced his older girlfriend's soft body, Guan Ya trembled suddenly, as if startled.

She finally "woke up," realizing she was being hugged by a stranger, and immediately had a violent stress response.

Guan Ya's right elbow struck backward, her left hand forming a sword with her fingers, stabbing at the man behind her.

This set of instinctive combination techniques was easily defused by the man behind her—Zhang Yuanqing’s hand around her lower abdomen formed a sword with his fingers, stabbing her soft navel, directly interrupting Guan Ya's breath, causing her to groan and her taut body to become soft and weak.

Then he pressed down on Guan Ya's right shoulder, turning her from her side to her stomach.

The sword finger missed, pierced the quilt, hit the ceiling, creating a deep, thin hole.

"Guan Ya, it's me, it's me..." Zhang Yuanqing said loudly.

Guan Ya, who was about to struggle, heard his voice, her body suddenly stiffened, stunned, motionless for a long while.

Seeing that she was no longer resisting, Zhang Yuanqing rolled off her back and sat up straight.

Guan Ya was still lying stiffly on the bed, but her breathing became more and more rapid, more and more rapid. She suddenly jumped up from the bed, her eyes wide with disbelief, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

This was her man.

"Yuan, Yuan Shi?" she said, her lips trembling, her beautiful eyes widening, her face full of disbelief.

Then, suddenly remembering something, her autumn-like eyes, rippling with water, suddenly sharpened, "Leader of the Stop Killing Palace! What do you mean by disguising yourself as Yuan Shi!"

Huh? What does this have to do with the Palace Leader… Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and then reacted, understanding Guan Ya's meaning.

A Sentinel’s insight can see through most disguises, and a man sharing the same bed would not be able to fool Guan Ya, even a Illusionist.

Then there was only one possibility, the Leader of the Stop Killing Palace had put on a perfect human skin. Guan Ya knew the function of perfect human skin.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't explain, he directly opened his inventory and took out the Purple Thunder Hammer to prove his identity—Guan Ya knew this rule-based item that was "account bound." With Zhang Yuanqing's personality, how could he not show off to his girlfriend after refining an excellent item.

Guan Ya looked at the Purple Thunder Hammer, then at her naked boyfriend, tears welling up in her eyes.

"No, is it not an illusion?"

"It is not."

"Not a disguise?"

"If you don't believe me, we can have a round, you know best about the endurance and size."

"You, you, how... did you come back to life..." Guan Ya half-believed, crying while glancing at her boyfriend's bare lower body.

She eyeballed it.

Zhang Yuanqing explained to her the function of the Mother God's womb, the existence of a backup clone, and the reason why he didn't mention resurrection that day in the dungeon.

Guan Ya finally confirmed that her lover had been lost and found. She hugged the man in front of her as if she were embracing the most precious treasure in the world.

She cried loudly, venting her despair and sorrow during this time, tears falling like rain.

Crying, she trembled like a blossoming flower.

At this moment, the ringtone of Guan Ya's cell phone, placed on the bedside table, rang, interrupting the two who were immersed in the joy of reunion.

The caller was Fu Qingyang.

Zhang Yuanqing took the phone first, answering, "Boss, I'm resurrected."

There was no sound on Fu Qingyang's side, there was a silence of three or four seconds, and then Qian Gongzi's calm voice came:

"I know, the Devil Eye has already notified me. Stay in the bedroom first, don't let others know that you have been resurrected. I will rush back to Songhai before dark."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Yuanqing put down his phone. Guan Ya clung to him like a koala, holding him tightly, sometimes listening to his heartbeat, sometimes kissing his chest, lips and cheeks.

Perhaps because she had experienced the pain of losing her beloved once, she changed from an older girlfriend who spoiled her little boyfriend to a clingy little girl.

After a moment of tenderness, Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"What happened in the officialdom during my return to The Way of the Extraordinary?"

…Guan Ya shook her head.

Zhang Yuanqing picked up her phone, logged into the forum, and learned about a series of events such as the removal of the Cai family, the attack on Beijing by the Soldiers of Heaven, and the establishment of the Investigation Department and the Department of Justice through the pinned posts.

He only saw four words: Power Reform!

The Five Elements Alliance was about to reform. The change in the high-level power structure would bring earth-shattering changes to this largest local official organization.

It wasn't a wasted death after all, it was worth it... Zhang Yuanqing sighed, "Boss is finally in power."

Then, he turned his head and looked at his girlfriend on the same pillow:

"Look at Boss, in order to avenge me, he destroyed Cai Qinhuo's direct line and cut the power of the Nine Elders. But you have been self-isolating at home for five or six days? Boss is truly in love with me."

Guan Ya hummed, her nose and eyes were red, but the knot between her eyebrows had long since dissipated: "You can also come to power. Go and assist your true love."

Zhang Yuanqing was silent.

........

Five thirty in the afternoon.

A gust of wind swept through the Fu Family Bay villa, sword light entered the courtyard, transforming into a handsome young man in white.

Fu Qingyang went straight into the villa, hurriedly went upstairs, and pushed open the door to the study. In his luxurious and spacious study, he saw his subordinate whom he had not seen for many days.

Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and worshiped, "Thank you, Boss, for the grace of resurrection."

At this moment, Fu Qingyang's expression was dazed for a moment, then he regained his composure and nodded slightly:

"It's good that you're back."

The two sat down in the reception area. Fu Qingyang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "During these days, you know about the internal reforms of the Five Elements Alliance."

"I just finished reading it in the forum." Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"These are not important," Fu Qingyang said, "You have just been resurrected, there are a few things I must tell you. The first thing... your identity as the Demon Lord's successor, the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sect and the higher-ups of the Five Elements Alliance already know about it."

Zhang Yuanqing's expression stiffened, he was dumbfounded: "How could this be?"

I admit that I was impulsive during the Judgment Conference, but I didn't say that I was the successor of the Demon Lord, how does everyone know about it?

Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice:

"The news first came from the Taiyi Sect. Think about why they would know."

Zhang Yuanqing's face sank slightly, vaguely guessing something, but he wasn't sure.

Fu Qingyang said calmly: "What did you exchange for using the Myriad Realms Trading Company?"

"...The origin fragment of Taiyin, something left in the character card by the Demon Lord." Zhang Yuanqing confessed.

Fu Qingyang's expression didn't change, as if he had expected it. Instead, he sighed:

"Sun, Moon, and Stars, now the Moon is about to return to its place, the great calamity is approaching... I have reviewed it for you. Your killing calamity was a game set up by Ling Tuo. What he wants is the origin of Taiyin in the character card."

Zhang Yuanqing didn't understand, "If he wants the origin of Taiyin, he can just kill me directly. Why bother with so much effort?"

Fu Qingyang said solemnly:

"Because you are just one link in his plan, I have deduced three lines. One is the return of the origin of Taiyin to The Way of the Extraordinary; the second is to inflict heavy damage on the Five Elements Alliance; and the third is to hunt down Traceless Past and plunder Illusion God items. I don't know if there are more.

"You don't know yet, Traceless Past has returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, dying in the siege of four demigods."

Zhang Yuanqing had a premonition, but when he heard the bad news, his nose still felt sore and a sense of grief arose.

"Ling Tuo..." He squeezed these two words out from between his teeth.

"The layout ability of a high-level Night Wanderer is indeed powerful. The contradictions between you and the headquarters, the conflicts with Cai Qinhuo, the leakage of information about the members of the Traceless Past Hotel, the ambush on the plane... and many details that we can't see are all guided and laid out by him in the dark. Cai Qinhuo, you, and the Traceless Past Hotel, three lines were twisted into one by him, and at a critical moment, a fire was lit to detonate the entire situation." Fu Qingyang reviewed while sighing.

He rarely babbles so much.

"Of course, Ling Tuo's layout still has traces to follow. I can't see through the Taiyi Sect's move. He should know everything, either he participated or he let it go." Fu Qingyang crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa:

"It's all over, giving up the origin of Taiyin may not be a bad thing. It's not good to be targeted by two demigods. To them, your value is not high anymore.

"What are your plans next? I don't recommend you continue to stay in the Five Elements Alliance, nor do I recommend you expose the news of your resurrection, at least until the end of the year, clear the Slaughter Instance, and advance to Dominator. Then there's..."

Qian Gongzi glanced at his confidant subordinate, "The Demon Lord's karma is too deep. You are his successor. It's okay if you die, but once people know you're resurrected, there will be trouble."

Qian Gongzi was referring to the reason for becoming a political enemy to attack and smear him.

But Zhang Yuanqing thought of the Cat King Speaker. The Demon Lord's lovers should all know about the existence of that speaker, and they also know that it can record audio...

If I return as the successor of the Demon Lord, even Yin Ji would want to kill me to silence me... Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.

He was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Boss, I really don't want to continue to stay in the Five Elements Alliance. I am only suitable for socializing, not for mixing in the officialdom. Only now do I understand that I am the Devil Eye, and the Devil Eye is me."

Then, Zhang Yuanqing said his thoughts: "I may go abroad for a while."

"Go abroad?" Fu Qingyang frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I must remind you that there are more The Way of the Extraordinary practitioners in the First District, the forces are more complex, and the methods of the Lawful and Evil are more unscrupulous. The most important thing is that you don't know much about the professions overseas."

Although Yuan Shi has already gained momentum, he is still at the peak of the Saint realm. It is still a bit difficult to encounter Dominator-level enemies.

There is no force to rely on overseas. Once you offend a large force, it will be very dangerous.

And the facts prove that Yuan Shi Tianzun is definitely not an law-abiding person. He will definitely cause trouble, Fu Qingyang is sure of this.

"Boss, please summarize the professions in the First District, from Transcendent to Dominator, and it's best to summarize the item information as well. I will study it carefully." Zhang Yuanqing gave his attitude.

He must go abroad. First: he wants to see Chen Shu and ask about the possibility of resurrecting his father, Zhang Zizhen. Second, he promised the Goddess Association. Third, he wants to collect the Demon Lord's "treasure map", so he must go abroad.

——Many of the Demon Lord's lovers are abroad.

Fourth, going out to take a look is in line with his expectations. Furthermore, in addition to his identity as the successor of the Demon Lord, the identity of Zhang Zizhen's biological son is also a big danger.

Once exposed, Ling Tuo will kill him immediately.

He can also avoid the limelight by going abroad. If he continues to stay in China, unless he completely hibernates and does nothing, it is easy to expose the fact that Yuan Shi Tianzun has been resurrected if he gets involved in incidents.

Seeing that he was determined, Fu Qingyang could only nod: "Before you leave, I will prepare a sum of money for you."

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed a jet-black seal from his inventory. The moisture in the study instantly condensed, becoming extremely humid.

"This is Cai Qinhuo's rule-based item," Zhang Yuanqing smiled, "Boss, if you want to sit on the throne of power, one cloak is not enough. This is my congratulatory gift to you."

He put this rule-based item into his inventory before returning to The Way of the Extraordinary.

Fu Qingyang looked at the River Earl Seal in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time.

.........

Crab City, rental house.

In the bedroom, Xiao Yuan, who had been depressed for several days, heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door with her long hair that she hadn't taken care of for days, wearing wrinkled home clothes.

A man dressed like a cowboy from the Wild West stood at the door, wearing gaudy cowboy boots and a leather hat, and a silver mask.

"Snap!"

The cowboy snapped his fingers, "We meet again. How do you like my outfit? This is how the cowboys of the Free Federation dress before going out."

Xiao Yuan was wary of this man in her heart. She didn't respond. She immediately opened her inventory and took out the dark and dull heart.

The man snapped his fingers again, and the heart in Xiao Yuan's hand disappeared.

"Wait at home. There will be good news soon." After the old cowboy finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Xiao Yuan.

..........

Eleven thirty in the evening, the cafe opposite the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau.

"I plan to go abroad. This is the last time we meet in a cafe." Zhang Yuanqing stirred the silver spoon, staring at the Leader of the Stop Killing Palace across from him.

Don't you want to say something?

"It's good to go out and explore." The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace said, "Do you want to tell your mom?"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.

"Then don't say it." The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace pretended to be a considerate little girlfriend, and then saw the iron-hearted man across from her take out a badge:

"It's not enough to just say it. Make an oath."

The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace hummed, "Is this how you treat the beautiful girl who resurrected you? Bah, scumbag!"

"Saint quality can't limit you, but it will make you uncomfortable for a while." Zhang Yuanqing shrugged: "Letting you make an oath is to show my attitude. This matter is very important to me. If you betray me, I will be angry."

He wanted to observe his mother's work and life abroad first, and then show up after he had certain information.

Otherwise, someone as cunning as Chen Shu would probably only tell half the truth if asked directly.

The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "How angry?"

"Angry enough to sleep with all the women of the Goddess Association." Zhang Yuanqing said.

The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace immediately grabbed the badge in anger, took an oath, and then threw the item back into his arms, spreading her small hand: "Give me back the teleportation scroll."

Zhang Yuanqing took out the parchment scroll and returned it to her.

After putting away the teleportation item, the Leader of the Stop Killing Palace said: "You can go abroad, but I have two requests. One: make a video call every three days. Two: don't get involved with the sluts of the Goddess Association. If I find out, I'll cut you off!"

I'm going to the Goddess Association to appreciate beauty, not to get involved in B-rated content... Zhang Yuanqing nodded in promise.

"Then you also take an oath with the badge."

"........"

After Zhang Yuanqing took the oath, he said: "Besides saying goodbye and thank you, I have other things to ask you... Can Master Traceless Past be resurrected? I heard Fu Qingyang say that Master Traceless Past has been promoted to demigod."

And the Mother God's Womb is a Dominator-level item. Although the resurrection function is a rule, its level is obviously not high enough.

"Resurrection is a rule, and The Way of the Extraordinary cannot stop it. As long as you find a flesh clone of Master Traceless Past, you can resurrect him." The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace first gave an affirmative answer, and then said:

"But if the target is a demigod, he will drop a level and return to the Dominator stage."

"This is not a problem." Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

The members of the Carefree Organization, except for Ling Tuo, still have a chance to be resurrected.

Then, he asked about the second thing:

"The Devil Eye Heavenly King said that when I was resurrected, the Mother God's Womb had some problems and almost failed to resurrect me."

He told the Leader of the Stop Killing Palace the Devil Eye's words verbatim.

"This..." The Leader of the Stop Killing Palace tilted her head and pondered for a long time, "Strange, there is such a thing, I don't quite know."

I don't know if you are talking nonsense... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart: "Okay."

This is also the reason why he insisted on going abroad. He has two secrets, one is the successor of the Demon Lord, and the other is Zhang Zizhen's son.

Now that the highest-level item (secret) in the character card, the origin of Taiyin, has returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, what remains is Zhang Zizhen's mess. To figure out the bug of the Mother God's Womb, he has to find Chen Shu.

While his thoughts were flashing, the Leader of the Stop Killing Palace got up gracefully, walked to his side, placed her plump buttocks on his lap, and wrapped her lotus arms around his neck.

"Before you go abroad, hug me again." Her voice was soft and had a hint of coquettishness.

Zhang Yuanqing hugged the Palace Leader's slender waist. He was already used to this ambiguous and warm way of getting along.

Before the two confessed their relationship as childhood sweethearts, the Palace Leader's teasing of him was limited to words. Since they had a frank and open conversation that night, the Palace Leader stopped pretending and used her soft and graceful body to seduce him.

But for some reason, she never took the relationship a step further, maintaining a pure and beautiful state of campus love.

........

One o'clock in the morning.

Fu Family Bay villa, in the bedroom, dreamlike starlight rose.

Zhang Yuanqing, who had been holding a gun with the Palace Leader all night, was about to plunge into his girlfriend's arms when he suddenly heard a "ding-dong" sound from his phone.

He took out his phone and looked at it.

[Chairman: I'm at your house, your grandparents' house.]

Zhang Yuanqing's scalp tingled.
