Chapter 116 Announcement
Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood and collected the bodies.
Half an hour passed quickly. Elder Gao Feng lifted the Coward's quilt and returned the tattered, patched quilt to his inventory.
Fu Qingyang looked into the distance, slightly disappointed, and said, "The Nihilism and the Psionic Society didn't send anyone to reinforce us, so let's disband."
Elder Ganlu got up and brushed the dust off her body. She was wearing a combat uniform suitable for exercise, with a sports jacket on the outside. Her round hips, thin waist, long legs, and large breasts made her look like a ripe, juicy peach.
She looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and Fu Qingyang, and said with a smile, gratefully, "I can't repay your life-saving grace!"
"Can't repay your kindness? Tsk tsk, if it were the Demon Lord, he would ask you to repay him with your body." Zhang Yuanqing thought with a dirty mind, but nodded indifferently in response.
"Elder Gao Feng, how are Huayu and Xiasu doing recently?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
"They're both alive." Elder Gao Feng understood what he wanted to ask.
"That's good!" Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to entrust him to take care of them, especially Xiasu, who was an old acquaintance he knew in the official organization, and one of his few friends.
But on second thought, the world was becoming more and more chaotic, and everyone's future was uncertain. Other official members could die for order, so why couldn't Huayu and Xiasu? So could he, Yuanshi Tianzun.
After Fu Qingyang collected the bodies of the four evil overlords, the group separated in the park. Zhang Yuanqing drove the Five-Claw Golden Dragon and soared into the air.
Fu Qingyang picked up the unconscious Elder Tianhuo and followed behind on his sword.
Elder Gao Feng took Elder Ganlu and plunged into the ground and escaped.
When they arrived at Fujiawan, Qian Gongzi summoned a bunny girl and instructed, "My and Yuanshi's phones are broken, go and get new ones."
He looked at Zhang Yuanqing again and said, "Give the bodies to them."
After arranging things, he sat in front of the computer and typed information, while saying, "Yuanshi, your account hasn't been canceled yet. Later, I will use the Songhai branch's account to post an announcement on the forum, and you can give it a like."
Zhang Yuanqing responded verbally and silently moved behind Fu Qingyang, seeing him editing the announcement.
"Today at 2:32 PM, the Hangzhou branch challenged Elder Gao Feng and Elder Ganlu, who went missing while dealing with a cult incident. After investigation by Elder Fu Qingyang of our branch, Elder Mieshi Tianhuo, and former Five Elements Alliance member Yuanshi Tianzun, it was confirmed that the Hangzhou branch elders were ambushed by the evil camp and were in a dangerous situation."
"At 6:40 PM, Elder Ganlu, who challenged Elder Gao Feng, was rescued, and Elder Mieshi Tianhuo was seriously injured. Our side killed two overlords of the South Branch of the Psionic Society and two overlords of the Southern School of the Nihilism, with Spirit Realm IDs of..."
"It is reported that this is the sixth attack on official elders this month. Evil organizations are becoming increasingly rampant, seriously affecting the stability of the orderly and the harmony of society."
"Elder Fu Qingyang convened an internal meeting of the Songhai branch today and proposed the establishment of a stability maintenance team to actively attack and hunt down overlords of evil organizations throughout the country. Former official member Yuanshi Tianzun actively responded and pointed out that managing one's own territory is the primary responsibility, proposing that the Southern School of the Nihilism and the South Branch of the Psionic Society should be the main targets of stability maintenance, which was unanimously approved by the high-level officials of the Songhai branch. This is hereby announced!"
Fu Qingyang took his fingers off the keyboard, picked up his teacup and took a sip. Without turning his head, he said indifferently, "How is it?"
Standing behind him, Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his chin, "Boss wants to use this announcement to scare the evil overlords in the southeastern region..."
This method did work. Last time, he organized the overlords of the Return of the Dead, the Society for Saving the World, and the Anti-Black and White Alliance to hunt down the three elders and nine elders of the Southern School.
This time, he joined forces with Fu Qingyang to kill four overlords, three level seven and one level eight, all with mid-to-late stage experience points, seasoned elders.
Overlords below level nine were basically just chives, cut one when they come, cut a bunch when they come.
As long as the news spread, the overlords of the Southern School and the South Branch would definitely choose to lie dormant and wait and see for a while.
In this way, he and Fu Qingyang could enter the dungeon without worry.
"But..." Zhang Yuanqing frowned and said, "Is it too high-profile to issue a declaration of war so arrogantly? Will they see that it's a deliberate intimidation?"
After all, attacks and hunts are better done as secretly as possible, so wouldn't being so high-profile just be stirring up trouble?
Fu Qingyang said calmly, "Think of it from another perspective, maybe this is our strategy, deliberately being high-profile so that they think we're just shouting slogans and they will relax their vigilance! You and I are people who do things, when have we ever shouted slogans?"
The evil camp overlords wouldn't just think on the first level, they would think they had predicted our prediction.
So the result is that we predicted that they predicted our prediction? Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
Fu Qingyang continued, "Moreover, issuing an announcement can boost morale, which is something that the official organization must do. The evil overlords won't think so much. To take a step back, even if they really see through our scheme and continue to cause trouble, then so be it."
"Local sacrifices are inevitable. At this stage, what's more important than leveling up?" As they talked, the bunny girl knocked on the door of the study, holding two phones.
The beautiful older sister handed the phones to the two and smiled, "The photos of the four bodies have been stored in your phones."
Fu Qingyang nodded with satisfaction, opened the phone, logged in to his account, uploaded the photos to the computer, and clicked publish.
Zhang Yuanqing also logged into his long-lost official account and gave a like to the new post published by the Songhai branch's official account.
Neither of them refreshed the post to check the replies, and they put away their phones at the same time. Zhang Yuanqing said, "I'm going to prepare the materials to refine a spirit servant."
Fu Qingyang said "Mm" and returned to the villa next door. Zhang Yuanqing entered the bathroom, washed away the fatigue and dust he had brought back from the Church's treasure, changed into dry pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom feeling relaxed.
His steps suddenly stopped. His uncle, wearing a white suit and pants and a silver mask, was sitting cross-legged at the desk.
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "You scared me. I thought Fu Qingyang was secretly coming to my room wearing a mask. Why are you imitating him for no reason?"
His uncle said with emotion, "After all, I've raised a white-eyed wolf for fifteen years, and you lick him so hard, I want to experience the 'Apart from you, who in the world is worthy of wearing white' feeling."
Zhang Yuanqing gave him a glare, "You're the kind of person who will always only use single rhymes. You're not worthy of that sentence. Tell me what's up, I'm busy."
His uncle shrugged his shoulders, "The props are ready, but you didn't answer my calls, and there was no one at home, so I had to come over in person. Fortunately, you weren't doing it with your girlfriend, otherwise I would be embarrassed!"
"Your upright nephew isn't the kind of person who engages in debauchery in broad daylight," Zhang Yuanqing rubbed his hands excitedly, watching his uncle take out props from the void one by one, including a sword-shaped waist jade, a pair of black and red half-finger gloves, a black ox-horn hard bow, a hideous ghost mother mask, and a terracotta warrior figurine.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at them one by one, tsking from time to time. If he were still at the Saint stage, he could have taken all these props for himself.
Guan Ya's prop was the sword-shaped waist jade, and the function of the prop was "Sword Qi Body Protection" and "Ultimate Counterattack".
The former could condense sword qi to form an invisible sword qi barrier, whose defense was not as good as an earth monster, but could withstand three moves from a level 6 Saint.
If the user was a peak Saint, it would be one move.
For swordsmen who fought in close combat, the difference of one move could mean the difference between life and death.
The "Ultimate Counterattack" would release sword qi if the user ran out of energy, spiritual power, or was surrounded by more than two enemies. It was very suitable as a killer move to catch the enemy off guard.
The black half-finger gloves belonged to Hongjige, and their function was amplification, amplifying fire attribute spiritual power by 10%, making them the best props for fire masters.
The price was sacrificing some intelligence to become more irritable and impulsive, believing that action was faster than thinking, and the effect was irreversible.
The ox-horn hard bow was for Zhao Chenghuang, with the functions of: armor-breaking, tracking, and bewitching demons.
Armor-breaking and tracking were standard configurations for the profession, but the real power was "One-Hit Kill".
One out of every three arrows shot would activate the "One-Hit Kill" effect, weakening the enemy's defense by 50%. It was very suitable for sneak attacks or using Star Teleportation to kite enemies. The price was that the archer must kill someone after drawing the bow, otherwise they would be corroded by the killing intent and become less rational. Also, the archer's personality would become extremely bad for two hours after using the bow, even catching dogs on the street and kicking them.
The ghost mother mask was given to Sun Miaomiao, which could greatly enhance the power of Taiyin, thereby enhancing the number and power of the spirit servants she could control. It was most suitable for Sun Miao, who possessed the Soul Summoning Banner and took the path of controlling spirit servants. The terracotta warrior figurine was similar to a Yin corpse or puppet. The owner could control it to fight. Its combat power was not very high, but it was durable and had immense strength, making it the best cannon fodder.
Moreover, the five elements said that fire creates earth. The more fire attribute spiritual power injected, the stronger the terracotta warrior figurine would become, and its operability was very high.
It was very suitable for Tianxia Guihuo, who thought his intelligence was the greatest.
Each of the Zhang Yuanqing happily put away the props, sent his uncle away, sat at the desk, opened the computer, and logged in to the chat software, sending a message in the Return of the Dead group.
[Those who participated in the Pan God's Labyrinth angel investment last time, report a number. Year-end dividends are here.]
Guan Ya, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, and Tianxia Guihuo, one after another, appeared and responded. The words were filled with anticipation.
Only Hongjige didn't make a sound for a long time.
Zhang Yuanqing had to @ him.
[Hongjige: What? What is Pan God's Labyrinth?]
He has already forgotten that he was involved in this? Or maybe he didn't remember the name "Pan God's Labyrinth", just as expected of you!
Everyone looked at Hongjige's reaction and had similar thoughts without communicating.
[Tianxia Guihuo: It's the labyrinth we entered in New York County, the one where we almost got wiped out.]
[Hongjige: Oh oh, that ghost place, so it's called Pan God's Labyrinth, I forgot.]
[Exactly,] everyone silently added in their hearts.
[Yuanshi Tianzun: The dividends are in the guild warehouse, starting with the sword-shaped waist jade, followed by Guan Ya, Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Tianxia Guihuo, and Hongjige.]
The next second, Guan Ya and others initiated warehouse item usage applications one after another, and Zhang Yuanqing agreed one by one.
After about half a minute, Sun Miaomiao sent a string of hearts: [Thank you, gang leader, I am willing to go through fire and water for the gang leader.]
Hongjige frantically spammed the group with worshipping emoticons.
[Zhao Chenghuang: Apart from the overlord-level prop Yang I got in the dungeon, this is the most satisfactory and most suitable prop for me.]
Even for the descendants of Elder Zhao, this kind of top-quality prop wasn't something they could get easily.
[Tianxia Guihuo: The prop is good. With it, I don't have to take risks. I can eliminate 80% of the dangers in the dungeon, although there are basically no traps that require brains in the Fire Master profession.]
He was very satisfied with this prop and thought it was a supplement to his abilities.
As Yuanshi Tianzun's girlfriend, Guan Ya said a polite thank you in the group and immediately sent him a private message: "Thank you, Lord Tianzun, this little girl will offer herself to you tonight."
Zhang Yuanqing replied, "Go take a shower immediately."
He immediately returned to the chat group and @ Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang:
[I need some special materials to refine spirit servants. Help me exchange them from the Taiyi Sect, and I will reimburse you later.]
Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang readily agreed.
As descendants of the elders and level six Saints, they were only one step away from becoming overlords, and they were within the scope of their authority to exchange for some overlord materials in advance.
If it was outside their authority, they could also ask their grandfathers and great-grandfathers for help.
After chatting in the group for a few words, Zhang Yuanqing opened the forum and saw that the announcement that Fu Qingyang had posted with the Songhai branch's official account had been pinned to the top.
It was extremely popular, with 99+ comments.
[Excited!]
[After many years, Lord Tianzun has finally shown his face on the forum.]
[Although he is no longer an official member, he is still a hero of the orderly camp.]
[Upstairs, the big shots in the headquarters are even more muddled than Elder Sun, except for Qian Gongzi.]
[It's satisfying! Let the evil camp know that even if the alliance leaders don't take action, there are still overlords among us who can make them despair.]
The atmosphere of the forum had been dead and silent for a long time. Today, a strong injection had finally arrived.
[The usual happy atmosphere has been restored.]
[Since the disappearance of the moral value, the Five Elements Alliance headquarters has repeatedly published encouraging announcements on the forum.]
[Telling everyone to have confidence in the future, that the disappearance of moral value was a sudden event, and that the orderly camp would vigorously crack down on criminal activities by evil organizations and maintain peace and stability.]
[However, the fact is that evil organizations are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, and three elders of the orderly camp have sacrificed themselves in just over a month.]
[Low- and mid-level Spirit Realm walkers cannot access the real high-level intelligence, and their view of the overall situation and the current situation is always clouded, so they are easily panicked and suspicious.]
[Therefore, they need a constant stream of good news to strengthen their confidence and beliefs.]
[Strengthening confidence and looking forward to the future cannot be done just by shouting slogans. There must be real good news, and low- and mid-level members must see hope. Saying "believe" and "confidence" a hundred times is not as good as an announcement of killing four evil professionals.]
