Two seconds after the ringing, Secretary Zhou heard Mr. Cai Chang answer the phone, which was half a second faster than usual. Secretary Zhou knew that the leader was expecting good news.
The more the leader looked forward to the good news of Yuanshi Tianzun's return to the spiritual realm, the more tense Secretary Zhou became. He took a deep breath to let a smile bloom on his face, and said in a cheerful voice: "Leader, good news, Yuanshi Tianzun is back. He escaped from the assassination attempt by the two masters of Dark Night Rose and Southern School without the help of any dark forces from Xiwai. Now, he has returned to Songhai."
He deliberately pointed out the problem without any external help, so that Mr. Cai Chang would know that Yuanshi Tianzun came back alive not because they were not doing a good job.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Secretary Zhou could vaguely hear the fierce sound of water like a spring flood and raging waves, and then Mr. Cai Chang said "I know" in a neutral voice.
Suddenly, the sound of surging torrents calmed down. "Have you found out about Yuanshi Tianzun's visit to the Baila branch?" Cai Chang asked again.
As a secretary who has served Elder Cai for many years, Secretary Zhou understood what Elder Cai wanted to know. Elder Cai wanted to know how the Southern School and the Night News Rose set up the scheme. Search on Bing or Baidu for the top three novels and read them first every day.
This is related to Yuanshi Tianzun's weakness. Secretary Zhou whispered, "According to the feedback from the Baila branch. They didn't know that Yuanshi Tianzun had been to Baila City this morning, but Victoria and Lingjun suddenly went there to inspect the work today, and they paid special attention to an evil profession who had just been arrested."
"After the news of Yuanshi Tianzun's disappearance was reported to the headquarters, Victoria suddenly ordered the execution of that evil profession. The person in charge of the execution was Lingjun, but the Baila branch did not receive the body of that evil profession."
After listening to this, Mr. Cai Chang said calmly: "What do you think about this matter?"
Secretary Zhou lowered his voice and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun has been in close contact with the evil profession Changqi. He went to the White Lax Branch this morning to rescue people, but was ambushed by Dark Night Rose."
It was no secret at the headquarters that Yuanshi Tianzun was involved with evil professions. At the initial trial, Cai Changlao wanted to use this charge to convict Yuanshi Tianzun.
But that group of evil professions were subordinates of "Wanshi Wuhen" and Yuanshi Tianzun's contact with Wangshi Wuhen was authorized by the Songhai branch, so the headquarters could only tolerate this matter for the time being.
Secretary Zhou finished speaking and said in a deep voice: "Leader, this is his weakness. Dark Night Rose has revealed it to us."
Before, the headquarters had no idea what the relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and this group of evil professions was, but now it is clear at a glance.
Judging from the planning ability of the high-ranking Night God, this should be the signal that the Dark Night Rose sent to them.
Cai Chang smiled, did not search for the fastest update for Sanyou rated novels, and hung up the phone without saying anything.
The incident in which Yuanshi Tianzun was ambushed by two masters of the evil camp was quickly settled like dust.
At noon, the forum was still buzzing with discussion, and a headline like "Yuanshi Tianzun is doomed, which is heartbreaking" appeared, attracting the attention of official practitioners from all major branches.
Everyone was worried about Yuanshi Tianzun across the screen, praying that he could escape the disaster, while extremists denounced the headquarters.
The genius in the evil camp can never be caught, and the genius in our own family is like leeks in the vegetable garden, allowing others to cut them as they please.
In short, it's a mess and the administrator can't delete all the posts.
It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that the Songhai branch issued a notice stating that Yuanshi Tianzun had escaped danger and returned to Songhai. Only then did the topic in the forum begin to change. The official travelers commented with joy, saying that he was worthy of being the Master Tianzun, but they were helpless about the evil camp's masters' coming and going without a trace.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun came back alive, he could only swallow this loss and commented that he should be careful to avoid danger in the future and not be targeted by the Lord.
As for revenge, that was obviously impossible. Zhang Yuanqing spent the entire afternoon replying to his friends' messages, reporting safety when necessary and bragging when necessary.
Everyone’s advice is to keep a low profile and stay safe. No matter how powerful Yuanshi Tianzun is, he is still the strongest under the Lord.
When you meet the master, you have to kneel.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, while browsing the forum and chatting idly, Zhang Yuanqing received the follow-up of the incident. Gou Chang Lao told him that the Gulfstream had been confirmed to have crashed, and no one on board survived. The impact of the crash left no body left.
Steel can be torn into pieces, and humans with flesh and blood will probably be reduced to dust.
"The flight attendant is innocent," Zhang Yuanqing sighed as he listened to the phone. He felt a little guilty. Although the criminal's behavior was uncontrollable and he was also a victim of the incident, it was ultimately caused by him.
But after hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanqing felt more and more that something was wrong.
He later remembered that when he was teleported away, the damage to the plane was not serious. There were only two big holes in the net, and no important parts were damaged, so the plane did not lose control.
Moreover, the crew members on the Gulfstream had parachutes and could not have died in a normal accident. The only possibility was that they were silenced by the Three Protectors and Six Chang Lao.
Then the question is, is it necessary to silence someone?
The two overlords are not criminals, they are terrorists and are not afraid of official investigations at all.
Since he is not afraid of investigation, he kills people not to silence them, but out of pure love, to vent his anger.
"No, this is not right. If they were not venting their anger, then what was their motive for killing the flight attendants? What were they trying to cover up?"
Zhang Yuanqing thought of a horrifying possibility that in order to cover up the fact that the head of Chunyang Sect was still alive.
Last time in the ancient tomb, Master Chunyang was killed by the power of the sun from the Youmochu, and was then reborn in the body of the security guard who was responsible for sealing off the scene outside the ancient tomb.
This is an advanced spell of the illusionist profession. As long as there is a living person nearby, he can be resurrected once, but all his powers will be lost, which is similar to deleting the account and starting over.
At that time, the only person in the cabin who could provide a body for Master Chunyang to be reborn was the flight attendant. Assuming that Master Chunyang could be reborn by borrowing a body, he would definitely not return to Songhai with the plane, as that would be courting death.
But if he leaves alone, the sudden disappearance of several people will attract the attention of the Songhai branch, and the operation of rebirth through reincarnation cannot be concealed.
So letting the plane crash is the best way. I hope I am overthinking it.
"Wait until night and observe the stars to make some deductions." Zhang Yuanqing became a little impatient and quickly called Gouchang Laodao to ask for the materials for the summoning ceremony.
He planned to return the Demon-Subduing Pestle to the Empress, and then tell her about his discovery to see what the Empress' attitude would be.
After getting the reply from Gou Chang Lao, Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone and saw Yin Ji's reply.
Elder Dog’s suggestion is very good. Being targeted by the Overlord is very dangerous. No one can fight against the Overlord at the Saint stage.
After keeping a low profile and becoming the new overlord by the end of the year, it became less easy for the evil camp to kill him.
The news of Yuanshi Tianzun's loss of contact has spread among the top leaders of the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Sect, and Yin Ji is also very worried.
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Sister, you are right. I will stay safe and look forward to entering the killing dungeon together at the end of the year. We will definitely be able to become the overlord together.
Yin Ji: Looking forward to it!]
Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Ji have always kept in touch privately, chatting from time to time. Zhang Yuanqing would say some ambiguous words, and Yin Ji never responded directly, but she was not angry either.
After every chat, Zhang Yuanqing would delete the records completely because Guan Ya would occasionally look at his phone.
Zhang Yuanqing must have been yearning for this kind and gentle elder sister who had no temper and would be gentle and tolerant even when being bullied.
"I can only say that the Demon Lord understands me!"
But no matter how much he yearned for it, Zhang Yuanqing had no intention of developing further relations with Yin Ji. This woman was deeply in love with the Demon Lord and would not easily fall in love with someone else.
He glanced at the time. It was 4:30 in the afternoon. He had to go back to the villa for a barbecue party in the evening. Now he had to go to Wuhen Hotel to deal with the matter of a little fat man.
In addition, Zhang Yuanqing decided to make a big move before retiring.
In the lobby of Wuhen Hotel, the roller shutters were closed, and the shiny floor tiles were reflecting the light. Zhang Yuanqing and Xiao Yuan were sitting on lounge chairs with potted plants, like the bosses of the society, watching their younger brothers handle the matter.
The good minister chose his master and killed him. His hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes, and Saibei Yue's smelly socks were stuffed in his mouth.
Lying weakly on the ground, Zhao Xintong was holding a knife, Kou Beiyue was also holding a knife, and the two of them surrounded the little fat boy.
The former's face was full of anger, while the latter's face was full of sorrow.
Kou Beiyue gnashed his teeth and said, "Good minister, I have always treated you well, why did you betray us?"
Woo woo woo,
"You won't tell me, right? If you don't tell me, don't blame me."
"Woo woo woo"
"It's better if you don't tell me. Then, we can be brothers in the next life." Kou Beiyue put the knife against the fat boy's greasy chest.
The whining became more intense.
Sitting on a wooden chair nearby, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't stand it any longer. "I asked you to interrogate him, not to kill him to silence him. Take out your stinky socks."
Kou Beiyue pulled out the smelly socks that filled his mouth and shouted, "Speak!"
The fat man wanted to cry but had no tears. "What am I saying? I didn't sell you out. Although I am an evil profession, I am also an evil profession with morals. I would never sell out my brothers even if you kill me."
Bah, what morality does an evil profession have?"
"Before you say that, Boss, please think about your career."
"I see that you are stubborn and recalcitrant. Today I am going to clean up the mess and give Tongtong an explanation."
"Boss, it really wasn't me."
He didn't know why this matter was related to him. In the afternoon, after receiving Xiaoyuan's notification, he followed the boss back to the hotel.
As a result, as soon as they came back, Xiao Yuan smashed the cup as a signal, Zhao Xintong was responsible for closing the door, Kou Beiyue was responsible for hitting the back of the head, and finally Xiao Yuan gave him an injection and injected toxin.
The dignified Master of Dreams was subdued just like that. Then, the little fat boy, who hadn't understood what was going on, heard the boss ask Xiao Yuan: "What are you two going to do? What crime did he commit?"
The little fat boy was struck by lightning. It turned out that the eldest brother didn't know what happened, but as long as Xiaoyuan gave him a look, he would stab his brother without hesitation.
The fat boy suffered great physical and mental damage. At this time, Xiaoyuan spoke coldly, interrupting the crosstalk between the two.
"You didn't leak Zhao Xintong's information to the Southern School," Zhang Yuanqing next to him cooperated and took out the tiger talisman and held it high.
He borrowed this from his cousin, and his cousin was very generous and agreed with a wave of her hand, as if what he lent him was not a demigod-level rule-based prop, but a hundred dollars.
The tiger talisman flashed and a loud and deep tiger roar could be heard faintly in the hotel lobby. The fat boy lying on the ground trembled and twitched like a dead pig. Zhao Xintong and Kou Beiyue beside him also felt their legs go weak and they could only hold on with difficulty.
The tiger talisman can intimidate all those who travel in the spiritual realm.
The reason why Zhang Yuanqing dared to come, besides because he was holding the tiger talisman, was because Gou Chang Lao also came with him, but he did not come close to the Wuhen Hotel.
Having just suffered a great loss, he dared not leave Songhai without the secret protection of the master.
“No,” the little fat man trembled all over, his face pale, “I have never betrayed Zhao Xintong, nor have I betrayed my companions in the hotel. Don’t, don’t let the tiger eat me.”
In his mind, there was a terrifying white tiger lurking around. The fat man was overwhelmed with fear and felt that he might become incontinent at any time.
Zhang Yuanqing and Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance, and the former asked: "Have you seen the Southern School Dao Chang Lao recently?"
The little fat man thought for a moment and said, "Master Dachang summoned me once, but he didn't ask for information about you and your hotel companions. He only asked about my level and my opinion on your battle video."
"When was he summoned?"
"Four or five days ago!"
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and put away the tiger talisman.
"Well, you didn't lie, did you? If Shilu lied, the good minister would have been killed by the white tiger and his soul would have been devoured by the white tiger and he would have died on the spot."
Kou Beiyue was relieved that the fat boy was pardoned, but Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject.
"But this doesn't mean you didn't betray us. Think about it, does a high-level illusionist have the means to obtain information from you silently?"
The little fat man quickly shook his head and thought, "No, although the illusionist is good at spiritual magic, he has no means to erase memory. No matter if it is a dream or an illusion, it will be detected even if the big master is in control."
Zhang Yuanqing asked again: "What about hypnosis?"
The little fat man was stunned and murmured: "Hypnosis, a master-level musician can do it. The Southern School must have a master-level hypnotic prop."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "Then, it's very clear. Zhao Xintong's information was leaked from you, and he probably leaked the information of other people."
Xiaoyuan and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Kou Beiyue gnashed her teeth and said, "I knew that the Southern School had no good intentions in agreeing to let me join the team."
The little fat boy lowered his head, his face full of sadness, "I will leave, I'm sorry, boss."
Kou Beiyue opened his mouth, wanting to say something to retain him, but the words could not come out.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "Good minister, I can give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious contributions."
"You, what do you want me to do?"
"Go back to the Southern Clan and find Elder Liu Chang's whereabouts. I want to kill him."
Xiao Yuan considered and said, "It was the action of Songhai Branch."
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "No, it was my own action."
After saying that, he saw Xiao Yuanlu, Kou Beiming, the fat guy and Zhao Xintong, all looking at him as if he was a madman.
