The Fear King's call… Bloodbath Saber was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat complaining and angry. If this call had come four or five hours earlier, the situation would have been completely different.
He answered the phone, his voice low: "Your Majesty!"
"I just received the information you sent to headquarters, but your stronghold in Spring City has been raided. The entire Spring City branch is surrounding it."
The Fear King's voice was quite magnetic, with a slow and elegant tone. After speaking, he suddenly snorted: "Your tone just now, you're blaming me!"
Bloodbath Saber was shocked and subconsciously stood up, lowered his head, and adopted a posture of listening to instructions, saying in fear: "Your subordinate dares not."
"Don't be nervous, blaming me is your freedom, I never limit anyone's freedom. Even if you want to kill me, I'll give you a thumbs up."
The Fear King smiled, then asked: "Who did it?"
Bloodbath Saber gritted his teeth and said: "It's Yuanshi Tianzun, he killed the Edo Sword Master and seized the key to Takamagahara. Your Majesty, Takamagahara holds rare treasures, treasures that even the First Emperor desired."
In the orange light, his face was already angry and狰狞: "You must kill him and retrieve the key."
"Yuanshi Tianzun… it's him again, is this kid naturally opposed to our Knights of the Holy Light?" The Fear King sighed.
Li Xianzong, cultivated by the Devil's Eye, died because of him, the Devil's Eye was imprisoned because of him, and *** died because of him. Such a small worm is so troublesome.
"Alright, I'll take a trip to Songhai to meet the little genius of the Five Elements Alliance. How long has he been retreating?"
"Nearly four hours, he may not be in Spring City anymore," Bloodbath Saber said.
"The monk can run, but the temple can't." The Fear King chuckled and hung up the phone.
Asano Ryo closed the narrow bathroom door, picked up the satellite phone next to the toilet, and dialed the team leader's number.
[Recommendation, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use for chasing books, download it here .yeguoyuedu everyone go and try it quickly. ]
It was immediately connected, as if he had been guarding the phone. A low and urgent voice came from the microphone: "Ryo-chan, has the mission been completed? Has the key to Takamagahara been retrieved?"
Asano Ryo nodded vigorously: "Team leader, Yuanshi-kun has already helped us retrieve the key. I personally killed the Edo Sword Master."
Her tone was solemn and serious, with a hint of self-congratulation.
"Huff…"
Asano Ryo heard a long breath from the microphone, as if exhaling all the anxiety, worry, and unease.
Then, the chairman's voice sounded again, no longer low and solemn, but a hearty laugh:
"Very good, Yuanshi-kun is a samurai with high morals and outstanding ability. He has fulfilled his promise.
"Ryo-chan, you have made a great contribution. When you return, the Chizuru Group will hold a banquet to celebrate for you. Now that the traitor Edo Sword Master is dead, I think you can take on the position of deputy team leader."
Asano Ryo's little heart was pounding wildly, and her excited face flushed.
The deputy team leader is the real high-level of the Chizuru Group, who can mobilize the Spirit Attendants in the group, and government resources can also be used at will.
When her parents see her, they have to respectfully call her "Team Leader Asano".
"Thank you, team leader, I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the team leader and everyone." Asano Ryo kept bowing in the bathroom, vowing with a strong aura.
"Is the key in your hands!" Kobe Ichiro changed the subject. "The key is kept by Yuanshi-kun…" Asano Ryo's aura weakened.
"I knew it…"
Kobe Ichiro's tone couldn't help but become low: "This Yuanshi Tianzun has designs on Takamagahara. I hope he can remember his promise. Ryo-chan, we can't let our guard down."
This was within his expectations. The key is Yuanshi Tianzun's bargaining chip, it is impossible to return it to Asano Ryo. He only hopes that this favored son of the Five Elements Alliance can send Yin corpses to the island nation as agreed, instead of raising the price on the spot. Now that the key has been retrieved and the traitor killed, the next step is a new round of game.
Asano Ryo shrieked, "Team leader, I have something else to report to you."
"Don't stutter when you speak." Kobe Ichiro's tone became stern.
"Yes!"
Asano
Ryo responded loudly, and immediately reported the ambush process to the team leader in detail, with some ambition:
"We are on our way to Songhai and will arrive in Songhai soon, but everyone is very afraid. If the Fear King comes to Songhai in person, the strength of the Songhai branch will not be able to resist at all." After speaking, Asano Ryo heard heavy breathing from the microphone again.
"Team leader?" she probed softly.
"Baga!" Kobe Ichiro roared angrily:
"Edo Sword Master deserved to die. He actually colluded with the Knights of the Holy Light and revealed the secret of the Chizuru Group's revival to the Fear King of the Knights of the Holy Light. Baga, baga, baga…" The team leader lost control of his emotions. Asano Ryo lowered her head, too frightened to speak.
After a long while, Kobe Ichiro calmed down and asked urgently: "Yuanshi Tian… what did Yuanshi-kun say?" Asano Ryo said in a low voice:
"Yuanshi-kun said that he would report the situation to his superiors, but he would not reveal the key to Takamagahara. He only said that he had provoked the Fear King. In addition, he also said that he hoped to complete the cooperation as soon as possible, or things would change." Kobe Ichiro was already prepared and aware to report to the Celestial Punishment, and upon hearing this, he felt a slight relief:
"Yuanshi-kun is right, we can't delay, we must enter Takamagahara as soon as possible, otherwise the Fear King will come to our door. Tell him that I will be waiting for him at the Chizuru Group headquarters tomorrow."
If Yuanshi Tianzun can really, as he said, conceal the existence of Takamagahara and ask the Five Elements Alliance headquarters for help, then the price he will pay will be huge.
Reporting the secret of Takamagahara, the Five Elements Alliance will intervene in this matter, then settling the Fear King is not cleaning up Yuanshi Tianzun's mess. On the contrary, Yuanshi Tianzun is not only faultless, but meritorious.
Conversely, concealing the existence of Takamagahara is equivalent to Yuanshi Tianzun actively provoking the Fear King, and then the Five Elements Alliance cleans up the mess. The risks and crises that a demi-god level enemy needs to bear can be imagined.
Yuanshi Tianzun, as the instigator, will definitely be punished by the official.
Ending the call, Asano Ryo put down the microphone and walked out of the bathroom.
She looked around and found that Yuanshi-kun was not in the cabin. Everyone looked calm, so she didn't ask any more questions and returned to her seat as if nothing had happened. As soon as she sat down, she heard her peer opposite her smiling and saying:
"Congratulations on your promotion, Deputy Team Leader Asano."
Asano Ryo was stunned and said angrily: "You, you eavesdropped on my phone call?!"
Xie Lingxi playfully imitated Asano Ryo's tone: "Thank you, team leader, I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the team leader and everyone! You shouted so loudly that everyone heard it."
Li Chunfeng calmly added: "Even a scholar with ordinary hearing like me heard it vaguely."
Xie Lingxi laughed and ridiculed: "Your security work is so poor, did the Chizuru Group have a brain fart and hand over such an important task to you?"
Asano Ryo's little face turned red. Listening to her peer's accusations, she felt wronged and ashamed, and angrily ignored her.
Compared to Xie Lingxi, this Asano Ryo is too simple. Although she has some small cleverness and scheming, she still needs to be tempered. Yuanshi deliberately told her that he could handle the Fear King, just to convey it to the Chizuru Group and create pressure. It will probably take her a long time to react, Guan Ya shook her head.
"Stupid little Yamato Nadeshiko, no threat. Yuanshi-gege won't like stupid women." Xie Lingxi thought.
It seems that this girl is no threat. Although she is a saint, she is too young. I almost thought she was another competitor. The queen leisurely drank her drink and removed Asano Ryo from the list of enemies. Xiao Yuan closed her eyes and rested, without saying a word.
Outside the window was pitch black, with no stars or moon visible.
In the lounge, Zhang Yuanqing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Princess Yin Yao who was meditating and recuperating.
"Princess, your red eyes are dim, the power of Taiyin has been depleted a lot."
Zhang Yuanqing said with concern: "I am very worried about the princess's body. I want to infuse the power of Taiyin for you, but I am unable to do so."
The knife wounds on Princess Yin Yao's body have been repaired, and the severed arm has also been reattached. She has paid a heavy price for this.
She has dropped a level.
Her thick power of Taiyin has been greatly depleted, weakening from level 5 to level 4.
Yin Yao
Princess closed her eyes and sat cross-legged, silent.
Zhang Yuanqing looked guilty and said with heartache:
"It is my fault to entrust the princess to me and cause her to suffer such heavy injuries. Princess, I want to compensate you."
And Princess Yin Yao opened her eyes, her red pupils dim, picked up the small horn, and bluntly stated: "You want to refine me into a Yin corpse?"
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, sincerely:
"This is the only way. You cannot cultivate in the real world. Every battle is a loss, and it is difficult to last for a long time. Becoming my Yin corpse, the power of Taiyin stars can be shared. I am a The Way of the Extraordinary, my spiritual power can recover on its own."
Princess Yin Yao said indifferently: "You can buy materials rich in the power of Taiyin for me, and I can refine and absorb them with secret methods, and I can recover as well."
"Ah, this, I hate Yin corpses with brains."
Zhang Yuanqing almost froze, and quickly sighed: "Princess, I am short of money. You have also seen that I am so poor that I have to risk my life for mere money. Materials of saint quality are expensive. Just to restore you to your peak, it is already sky-high, not to mention the future…"
"Don't think that I am stingy with money. I, Yuanshi Tianzun, am not that kind of person, it's just that I have the old and the young to take care of."
"You are not married, where did the young come from?"
"Does a little idiot count?"
Zhang Yuanqing said sadly: "There is an idiot little aunt in my family, who is as demented as a baby."
Princess Yin Yao was silent, not knowing whether she heard it or not. After a long while, the small horn conveyed the mature female voice:
"No need to say more, I know, you have long wanted to take me for your own use, but you are just embarrassed to force me. My master let me return to the real world, and that is also what she meant, it's just that I am unwilling."
After a pause, she said: "But this day will come sooner or later. With my understanding of my master, she will definitely ask you next time you enter The Way of the Extraordinary. If she knows that I am disobeying her, she will not forgive me. Recently, I have been living comfortably in your mansion. I can agree to become your Yin corpse, but you have to make three rules with me."
Okay, you have already seen through me, well, it saves me from talking nonsense, Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Princess, please speak."
Princess Yin Yao raised the small horn:
"First, you can't force me to do things."
"Second, I can fight for you, but I am not your slave. You and I will treat each other as equals and maintain the original appearance."
"Third, without my permission, you must not control my body. I know there is a profession overseas that can sign contracts, you go find the props."
Zhang Yuanqing carefully tasted it, frowned and said: "You can't force you to do things, it's too general, please explain it clearly, Princess."
"For example, he is now encountering a big crisis and needs the help of Yin corpses to fight, but Princess Yin Yao sees that the enemy is dangerous and is unwilling to fight, so she turns around and runs away."
"This is definitely not possible."
Princess Yin Yao was silent for a long time, and seemed a little unwilling to speak. After a long time, the mature female voice came from the small horn:
"No, you can't let me serve you in bed!"
A series of question marks flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's mind, and he said to himself, Princess, it seems that you have not seen through me, otherwise, how could you have such a distorted misunderstanding of a good young man?
Are you以為我是魔君吗, if I were 魔君, I would most likely ask you to come a thousand miles a day, but I am an upright Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Princess, don't joke, I was born in a scholarly family, an official family, and I have been educated since I was a child, how could I do such a conscienceless thing?" Zhang Yuanqing said righteously.
"Very good."
Princess Yin Yao put down the small horn.
At Songhai International Airport, after the Gulfstream landed, a group of people rushed out of the plane in a hurry, as if the plane would explode if they were one step slower.
They didn't even let the shuttle bus pick them up, running through the taxiway, apron, and rushing into the airport. Seeing the dark crowd, they were relieved.
It was already late at night, but with the flights back and forth, there were many passengers, and the flow of people was still dense. Even the Fear King would not dare to kill indiscriminately.
"It's safe for now," Xie Lingxi said.
Dì said, "You guys find a hotel to stay in first, don't go back to Fùjiāwān, wait until I finish talking with the boss and see how things go." Zhang Yuanqing carried his backpack, waved goodbye to his teammates, and returned to Fùjiāwān alone. He had already contacted Fù Qīngyáng on the plane, saying that he had provoked the Fear King.
Fù Qīngyáng is indeed Fù Qīngyáng, and said indifferently: "It's a small matter, come back first."
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt safe.
When he returned to Fùjiāwān and came to the study, he saw Fù Qīngyáng sitting behind the desk reading a book, his expression stern, showing a calmness that doesn't change color before Mount Tai collapses.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Seeing his subordinate who had caused trouble for a Celestial Punishment return, he was not angry, his aura was as stable as an old dog. Zhang Yuanqing immediately told Fù Qīngyáng the secret of Takamagahara in detail.
Fù Qīngyáng fell silent after listening.
Seeing that the backbone was not speaking for a long time, Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice: "Boss, the Fear King will definitely not be willing to give up. If he comes to Songhai, what should we do?"
Fù Qīngyáng gently exhaled, his tone still indifferent: "With Fear's strength, he can flatten most of the branches, but he has never done so. Do you know why?"
"This is equivalent to a decisive battle with the orderly camp," Zhang Yuanqing said.
Fù Qīngyáng nodded: "This is like nuclear weapons, usually only used as a deterrent, not actually used. Once used, it is a world war, you die and I die. Demi-god level powerhouses are also like this. Although Fear is strong, it is not invincible. We don't have to worry about him killing indiscriminately in Songhai, but we have to guard against him targeting us. This is easy to handle. Notify the headquarters and let the leader of the alliance keep an eye on Songhai."
Zhang Yuanqing hesitated, "Will the leader of the alliance agree? After all, this is something I caused, unless I report the secret of Takamagahara to the headquarters."
"If you report it to the headquarters, you probably won't even get a sip of soup. The Chizuru Group will also not allow the Five Elements Alliance to intervene and will report it to the Celestial Punishment as soon as possible," Fù Qīngyáng shook his head. What should I do? I don't think my face is that big. Zhang Yuanqing thought.
Then, he heard Fù Qīngyáng say indifferently:
"I will report to the headquarters that Yuanshi Tianzun wiped out a stronghold of the Knights of the Holy Light in Spring City and learned from the members of the Knights of the Holy Light that the Fear King wants to gather experts to attack Songhai and rescue the Devil's Eye.
"What does the trouble caused by the Devil's Eye have to do with you?"
Zhang Yuanqing bowed and拜: "Boss is wise!"
Fù Qīngyáng nodded in satisfaction and then picked up the landline, dialed the phone downstairs, and instructed the bunny girl: "Pack up your things and go out to avoid it for two days."
He said the most cowardly words in a tone of "Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face does not change." After hanging up the phone, Fù Qīngyáng said: "Show me the key."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately unzipped his backpack, took out the bowl-sized jade plate, and presented it with both hands. Fù Qīngyáng didn't take it. The moment he saw the jade plate, his pupils shrank.
