Looking at the pale-faced Yuan Shi Tianzun, Secretary Zhou was incredibly relaxed, nodding and saying, "It seems you've realized your mistake. Then, see you at the tribunal tomorrow!"
He turned to leave, took two steps, then stopped again, "Almost forgot something."
Secretary Zhou curled his lips, "After we killed the vagrant from the human world, we discovered he was secretly colluding with the Poison Hunter of the Nanming City branch. The Poison Hunter, seeing the exposure, resisted stubbornly and has been killed. The Investigation Department suspects serious disciplinary violations by the Nanming City colleagues and has arrested them all for investigation. Until the results are out, assets will be seized and bank cards frozen."
He resented Yuan Shi Tianzun's arrogance during the negotiations for the ownership of Ming Zheng and knew that the official members of the Nanming branch held Yuan Shi Tianzun in high esteem.
This was the last stab he was making. His purpose in visiting the prison today, to humiliate his opponent from a high and victorious position, was just a small aspect. The larger purpose was to provoke Yuan Shi Tianzun.
The public opinion on the forum had gradually been stirred up. Everyone knew that Yuan Shi Tianzun was colluding with evil professions, and countless official members were switching their allegiance from fans to haters.
Next, as long as Yuan Shi Tianzun maintained his rebellious spirit during the trial, the entire officialdom would be filled with "execute Yuan Shi Tianzun" sentiments.
So, he had to provoke Yuan Shi Tianzun. How to completely kill an enemy? First, attack his heart, then take his life, and you can rest easy.
Secretary Zhou left happily, his purpose achieved.
Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling. The faces and smiles of the members of the No Trace Hotel team flashed before his eyes. The Poison Hunter must have been desperate at the time. The vagrant from the human world was his only relative in the world. He fought against drug dealers and underworld forces his whole life. He spent his whole life building dikes, but he wasn't drowned by the flood, instead dying at the hands of his own people.
The vagrant from the human world was finally no longer a vagrant.
Remember in one second
Yang Bo finally didn't have to file appeals anymore, he was relieved. Lin Zichong killed so many people and would most likely go to hell, unable to see his honest parents in heaven.
He hoped Tong Tong would have a happy childhood in the next life, and Aunt Fang would have better judgment in the next life and not marry a scumbag.
Sister Red Devil was too beautiful but born into an ordinary family. May she be born into a good family in the next life.
Liang Chen missed out on a lot of bosses in this life, but at least Bei Yue didn't disappoint him. May he not be so cowardly in the next life, if he's still willing to come to the human world.
Dong dong dong, Zhang Yuanqing's head banged against the wall again and again, a wildfire burning in his heart.
He thought of Master No Trace again. He already understood the root of this tragedy. Dealing with him was just a side effect.
Whether it was the Southern Faction, Dark Night Rose, or Elder Cai, what they really wanted was that demigod item.
Slaughtering the team members was to provoke Master No Trace. The master himself was walking a tightrope, maintaining a delicate balance. During the impact on the demigod realm, this balance was even more fragile. Read books
Seeing his closest companions being slaughtered one by one because of him, the master would inevitably lose control.
With the master's wisdom, hadn't he considered that he would become the target of everyone? Hadn't he considered the danger to his team members?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly froze. The master had considered it, he had considered it.
That day, the master had entrusted the team to him. The master wanted him to be the leader and protect everyone's safety.
He was the one who was preoccupied with his own death tribulation, and while he agreed, he only had Little Yuan post an announcement in the group saying, "Everyone, go into hiding."
It was his irresponsibility that killed everyone, that killed Master No Trace. The master believed in him so much.
Disordered footsteps echoed in the underground prison of the Linggan Temple. Curly-haired Teddy walked silently ahead, followed by Ling Jun and Miao Teng'er, and behind them were Guan Ya, Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Xiahou Aotian, Red Rooster, Worldly Fire, Little Green Tea Queen, and Li Chunfeng.
The corridor was long and the surroundings were quiet. No one spoke.
Everyone's face was shrouded in gloom, either enduring grief, numb and hollow, or silent and negative.
Finally, led by Dog Elder, the group arrived at the deepest cell and saw Yuan Shi Tianzun. Everyone was shocked.
The young man before them seemed to have changed completely. That high-spirited temperament had faded overnight, leaving only disappointment, numbness, and emptiness, like an unyielding warrior stripped of his spine, a noble scholar ruined of his reputation, and a proud genius deprived of his dignity.
Little Green Tea "Mewed" and covered her mouth, crying. The Queen, with red eyes, hugged her.
Ling Jun stepped forward, his face gloomy, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Shi, I brought them to see you."
This was a place for imprisoning serious criminals. Even Dog Elder was not qualified to visit the prison. It was Ling Jun and Miao Teng'er who had begged their grandfather to get half an hour of visiting time.
Dog Elder sighed, "Headquarters plans to hold a trial meeting tomorrow in Tribunal Hall No. 1. That's where elders are tried. Yuan Shi, you don't have much time left. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"
The specifications for Yuan Shi Tianzun's trial had reached the highest level. This was a manifestation of the Ten Elders' attitude.
Zhang Yuanqing's numb expression twitched slightly, and he finally turned his head.
His gaze swept over everyone, and his hollow eyes finally had some color.
"Didn't you bring food?" He smiled, "Can't even get a last meal before the execution?"
This joke wasn't funny, no one could laugh.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Ling Jun and said, "Ling Jun, you are a good teacher. I am very happy to know you, but the time is too short."
Ling Jun's eyes turned red, and he forced a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing then looked at Miao Teng'er, "Teng'er, I'm sorry!"
He was referring to the "impersonation" of the Demon Lord's successor and kidnapping her.
Miao Teng'er didn't understand and replied with red eyes, "It's okay."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at the silent Worldly Fire, and taught, "Tianxiaguihuo, from now on, you will be the gang leader. I have a lot of confidence in your leadership ability. Don't let our small team fall apart. You come from a humble background, which is good for you."
Tianxiaguihuo's face twitched fiercely, and he quietly clenched his fist, and said in a low voice, "I will wait for Elder Fu to come back."
He meant that I would avenge you.
Zhang Yuanqing smiled and looked at the grief-stricken Red Rooster: "Red Rooster, don't do anything stupid."
