Next, Zhang Yuanqing, with the Queen, Little Green Tea, and Li Chunfeng, traveled to various districts of Songhai, and to the surrounding counties, hunting down the evil professionals on the list one by one.
In just one day, he killed a total of 12 evil professionals in the extraordinary stage, earning 230 reputation points. Added to the 120 reputation points gained from killing Bloody Mary, his current reputation value is 500 points.
"500 reputation points, sigh, it still doesn't feel like enough. Zhao Feichen's bodyguard is not an official executive and rarely hunts down evil professionals proactively. If it were an official executive with a lot of accumulated wealth, my 500 reputation points would probably only be enough to kill one person."
At the Fu Family Bay villa, in the living room, Zhang Yuanqing lay on the sofa, enjoying the shoulder massages and leg tapping from his female teammates.
Xie Lingxi was massaging his shoulders behind him, and the Queen was tapping his legs.
"Enough, enough, I only have thirty reputation points," Xie Lingxi said sweetly, "500 reputation points are enough for brother to use for a long time."
The Queen said, "I only have 110 reputation points, and I've been saving them for several years."
Unlike Zhang Yuanqing, she had hardly ever killed orderly professionals from the same camp. Even if she encountered some disorderly rogue cultivators doing evil, the Queen would choose to arrest them and hand them over to the branch for processing.
If it was absolutely necessary to kill disorderly rogue cultivators, the branch would also provide compensation, including the 'killing evil professional prisoners' clause.
Zhang Yuanqing ignored their comfort and fell into thought.
Li Chunfeng felt unfair for Guan Yaming, who had shared life and death with him, and then offered his own suggestion:
"If you really want to pull off something big, the best way is to find the black market for evil professionals and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Evil professional black markets aren't that easy to find," Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
Li Chunfeng pointed out, "Isn't your son able to find treasures?"
"That's my adopted son," Zhang Yuanqing corrected, then shook his head, "I already tried it when collecting items, it can't find the black market."
Black markets also have materials and even items, but Little Doubi never discovered a single black market during that time. This is because the organizers of the black market would set up restrictions to isolate the aura.
And large black markets like Wanbaowu have illusions on the outside and even gang dungeons inside.
Who would dare to open a black market without some skills?
Li Chunfeng's tone remained unchanged, "I remember you got a treasure-hunting cloak, do you still have it?"
"I still have it~" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
Because this item belonged to an overseas professional, and was neither armor nor a weapon, it was not sacrificed to the Hundred Refinement Furnace that day. He had collected twelve items, plus the spoils seized from the Level 5 Swordsman, for a total of fourteen.
Only eight items were used to fill the energy of the Hundred Refinement Furnace, leaving six items, and the treasure-hunting cloak was one of them.
Li Chunfeng asked, "Then why not have your son put on that item and try it? It may be hard to find black markets established by large organizations, but small black markets shouldn't be difficult."
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully, "That's true, I can try..."
No sooner said than done, Zhang Yuanqing sat up, spat out a wisp of Yin energy, which landed and transformed into a small infant spirit with sparse lanugo.
"Aba~"
Little Doubi, like a pet being taken out for a walk, happily moved its limbs and crawled around.
"Time to work!" Zhang Yuanqing affectionately touched his son's head.
"Aba Aba~" Little Doubi blinked its innocent eyes and continued to crawl around, as if it didn't understand its master's orders.
It's getting smarter and smarter, it already knows how to play dumb. Sigh, it really worked hard during that time Zhang Yuanqing felt a pang of guilt, and then said:
[Seriously, I've been using the Wild Fruit Reading app to read books and keep up with updates, switching sources, with multiple reading tones, .yeguoyuedu available for both Android and Apple.]
"After this period is over, I'll let you play games."
He made a gesture of manipulating a game controller.
Little Doubi suddenly stopped, tilted its head and looked at its old father for a few seconds, then suddenly shouted 'Aba' with a determined look, and quickly crawled towards the door, soon disappearing from sight.
"Heh, even if it becomes smart, it's only a kindergarten diploma at best!" Zhang Yuanqing said smugly.
Then he noticed that Li Chunfeng, Xie Lingxi, and the Queen were looking at him with a look full of contempt.
"Is Yuanshi free these days? I heard from the Dark Spy that he has taken down more than a dozen black markets in Songhai and Jiangnan Province these days."
Dog Elder spoke to Fu Qingyang with a solemn tone.
"Just small black markets gathered by Extraordinary Realm cultivators," Fu Qingyang said indifferently, "Anyway, you old guys don't look up to ants in the Extraordinary stage."
"You can't say that, reputation accumulates, you know that from September to December every year is a brutal test for the Sovereigns," Dog Elder said in a solemn tone.
Before Fu Qingyang could respond, he laughed:
"Forget it, let him go, the more he stirs up trouble, the more he can deter the evil professionals at the bottom, and make those rats in the gutter more peaceful. Remember to tell him to keep a low profile after September."
Overall, Dog Elder was quite happy that Yuanshi Tianzun was actively cleaning up the evil professionals in the Songhai area.
Fu Qingyang responded with an 'mm', "I have already warned him."
"What is he accumulating reputation for?" Dog Elder's voice suddenly lowered. Fu Qingyang said bluntly, "His expression at the time told me that he was preparing to kill a Sage from the same camp."
"..." Dog Elder sighed, "Alright."
This was not uncommon. Most talented individuals with strong personalities would consciously accumulate reputation and moral values. The former was to prepare for killing Spirit Attendants from the same camp, and the latter was to ensure that they would not be wanted by the Spirit Realm one day if they killed innocent people.
It was just that Yuanshi Tianzun had a criminal record, so it was particularly sensitive when he did this.
After a moment of silence, Dog Elder said:
"Headquarters called me today and repeatedly confirmed whether he really killed Bloody Mary. I said I didn't take action."
Fu Qingyang said, "They called me to verify as well."
"This kid..." Dog Elder said with a chuckle:
"Headquarters doesn't quite believe that he can single-handedly kill a Level 5 peak Sage. This is a solid record. Many geniuses in the Extraordinary stage are just elites after being promoted to Sage."
"Headquarters is both happy and anxious now."
Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice, "It's also possible that they will pay more attention to Yuanshi Tianzun's psychological problems and increase the intensity of tempering him."
Dog Elder sighed:
"This is unavoidable. Even the Marshal was suppressed in the beginning. And even now, she has to make some cuts with the Fu family. The Five Elements Alliance can give her the highest power, but not the Fu family."
Jinshan City.
After lunch, Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to the Trace-less Hotel.
"200,000 in cash!"
He took out four stacks of cash from his backpack and placed them on the front desk.
Aunt Xiaoyuan calmly put away the cash, with a small hint of joy in her eyes. She had always been short of money, and the hotel's business was poor, often failing to make ends meet.
Since Yuanshi Tianzun came, he had given her close to a million.
This greatly alleviated the team's financial pressure.
"I have nothing to do today, I'll sit here this afternoon." Zhang Yuanqing went around the cashier and sat down on the recliner where Xiaoyuan rested, admiring the mature woman's plump and seductive figure.
"Aunt Xiaoyuan, my reputation has accumulated to 1000."
"So much?" Xiaoyuan turned her head in surprise, just in time to see him staring at her butt in a daze. Her face darkened and she glared at him fiercely.
Zhang Yuanqing guiltily looked away.
Xiaoyuan snorted softly and said:
"At the end of August, Master Trace-less will gather Redeemers from all over the world to give a lecture, encouraging them to do good. You can come and listen if you have time."
"Brainwashing?" Zhang Yuanqing instinctively resisted.
Xiaoyuan sneered, "You can think of it that way."
Zhang Yuanqing noticed that she was a little emotional and quickly explained, "You know that Master Trace-less is an Illusionist, and Illusionists are best at this kind of thing, so it's not surprising that I have concerns."
Xiaoyuan said indifferently, "Master Trace-less will use lectures to resolve the hostility in everyone's hearts and soothe painful emotions. You can understand it as brainwashing if you want. I think it would be good for you to listen, Yuanshi. You are a good person, but sometimes you can be very extreme. Extreme people have a lot of hostility."
Giving him a friend card at the drop of a hat... Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "Okay, I'll come then."
Xiaoyuan said softly, "It's time to introduce you to everyone."
In the afternoon, the peak period for food delivery ended.
At the old district's food stall, Manslaughter enthusiastically greeted Kou Beiyue and his little brother.
"Boss, from today on, you are my boss." Manslaughter nodded and bowed, showing a flattering smile, and led Kou Beiyue to his seat.
Yuanshi Tianzun is quite efficient! As soon as Kou Beiyue heard this, he knew that Yuanshi Tianzun had taken care of things, and immediately raised his chin, saying:
"When has Kou Beiyue ever made empty promises? I always keep my word."
Manslaughter quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, boss, you're as good as your word, your heart is true, your hair stands on end, in conversation, life and death are the same."
The little fat man looked at him unhappily, thinking, "Is he trying to compete with me for favor?"
Manslaughter called the waiter, ordered skewers and beef casserole, and said in a low voice:
"Who killed Bloody Mary?"
Kou Beiyue shook his head with a profound expression, "You don't need to know this..."
"It's Yuanshi Tianzun, isn't it?" Manslaughter said.
How did you know? Kou Beiyue was dumbfounded.
Do you think that such a big thing will not be investigated by the Spiritual Alliance? Manslaughter already had a thorough understanding of Kou Beiyue's IQ, and skipped over it directly, saying:
"Yuanshi Tianzun has been on a killing spree lately, destroying more than a dozen black markets in Songhai and Jiangnan Province. The freelance professionals in Songhai are now frightened birds, afraid to leave their homes."
"I knew that this child would be a disaster for freelance professionals after being promoted to Sage. See, the prediction has come true. Beiyue, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can continue to cooperate with him. I've decided you're my boss."
Although he said so, there was not a trace of fear or apprehension on his face, but rather a triumphant look.
Manslaughter believed that with more cooperation and consumption of some Spiritual Alliance executives, he would eventually return to Songhai and gain the appreciation of the Gu King.
What is this called? This is called raising bandits to build one's own power.
In addition, Beiyue doesn't have many advantages, but he is very loyal, and he has an extraordinary relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun. As long as he hugs Kou Beiyue's thigh,
he wouldn't have to worry about being liquidated by the authorities even if he returned to Songhai in the future.
Kou Beiyue felt ecstatic and patted the baby-faced man on the shoulder, saying:
"Manslaughter, follow me, and I won't treat you badly."
"That's right, that's right, cheers to the boss."
As the two clinked glasses, A Loyal Subject Chooses His Master to Kill reminded, "Don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking."
"We're driving electric bikes," Manslaughter said.
"Electric bikes are still vehicles."
"Hey, are you picking a fight?"
A Loyal Subject Chooses His Master to Kill sighed, "Yuanshi Tianzun is getting more and more terrifying."
In the Extraordinary stage, he was also a seed player, also a genius, but after being promoted to Sage, his halo faded. Although he was still stronger than ordinary Sages, he was definitely not considered a genius in the Sage realm. It was like some top students from small places, looking down on the world in places that suited them, but quickly falling into mediocrity once they got to big cities.
Most geniuses in the Extraordinary Realm encountered similar difficulties, but Yuanshi Tianzun continued to advance rapidly.
The little fat man inevitably felt a little discouraged.
"What interesting things have happened recently?"
After three rounds of wine, Manslaughter asked casually.
"It's mid-July now, and everyone is relatively peaceful," the little fat man said.
He didn't care whether Manslaughter and Kou Beiyue could understand.
The little fat man took a sip of wine and suddenly thought of something, saying in a solemn tone:
"By the way, I recently received an internal notice from the Void Sect that many Illusionists in Jiangnan and Huaihai provinces have disappeared inexplicably, suspected of being killed, but it doesn't seem like the authorities did it."
"Maybe it's a rival," Kou Beiyue said.
"It could also be the people from the Southern Branch of the Spiritual Alliance," Manslaughter said.
Neither of them were very interested in this matter.
The little fat man frowned, "Not necessarily, the organization told us to inquire about this matter through our respective channels."
After saying that, he looked at Kou Beiyue.
The meaning was obvious, no organization could match the authorities in terms of intelligence.
"Okay, I'll help you inquire about it." Kou Beiyue nodded, lowered his head, took out his phone, and edited a message, preparing to inquire about it from Yuanshi Tianzun.
The little fat man looked at him expectantly.
In the setting sun, Zhang Yuanqing returned to Fu Family Bay, sat at the stone table in the front yard, and took out the parchment given by Old Bangzi.
The ten-day period had arrived, and the Ghost Mirror would be his.
He successively took out a few cheaper materials and placed them on the table, but the phone in his pocket dinged, indicating that a message had arrived.
Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and glanced at it, his expression immediately becoming serious.

Illusionists mysteriously disappeared in Jiangnan and Huaihai provinces? The Void Sect believes it wasn't done by the authorities? After carefully reading the information sent by Kou Beiyue, his first reaction was: Chunyang Sect Leader!
