Hearing the Queen's words, everyone in the living room immediately sat up, took out their phones, and logged into the official forum.
On the forum, the Songhai Branch issued an announcement five minutes ago. The announcement stated:
“Regarding the investigation report on Yuan Shi Tianzun’s major misconduct incident, after verification by our department, on July 6th, the Jinghai Branch submitted an assistance request to our department due to the assassination of member ‘Bai Hu Wan Sui’ (Long Live White Tiger)."
“Yuan Shi Tianzun led the team to handle this case. After investigation, the psychic who assassinated ‘Bai Hu Wan Sui’ was Wei Yuanzhou’s grandfather. This person was previously wanted for the Qinghe County massacre in Yu Province and had been on the run. Details can be found in the appendix."
“Wei Yuanzhou, fearing that ‘Bai Hu Wan Sui’ would become an obstacle to his promotion to deacon, colluded with his psychic grandfather to assassinate his colleague. After Yuan Shi Tianzun's arrival thwarted the plan, he killed his blood relatives to silence them in exchange for merit. According to the Five Elements Alliance rules, Wei Yuanzhou deserved to die."
“After Yuan Shi Tianzun clarified this case, he killed the perpetrator in public in anger, which is understandable in terms of emotion but unacceptable in law. Our department will never condone those who violate laws and regulations. We hope the headquarters will dismiss Yuan Shi Tianzun, expel him, and ban him from employment for life, with a twenty-year prison sentence as an example."
Jiang Jingwei was furious after reading the announcement:
“What kind of clarification is this? Are the elders of the Songhai Branch out of their minds? I'm going to call my dad and have him beat these dog elders to death!"
“There's only one 'dog elder'," Guan Ya corrected with a smile, "Jingwei, take a look at the comments below."
Jiang Jingwei scrolled down to view the comments;
[Wen Yuan Ge University Scholar: Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues, discarding them after use, and killing blood relatives? How terrible. The last time I heard about such a terrible incident was at Copper Sparrow Terrace.]
[Beacon Fire Spreads: Didn't that Wei Yuanzhou deserve to die? Yuan Shi Tianzun did well to kill him. If I had been there, I would have done it too, or I would have been unworthy of the Fire Master profession.]
[Princess: Killed well. Is the Songhai Branch brain-dead? Dismissal? Never hire again? Twenty years in prison? Are they trying to force Yuan Shi Tianzun to rebel? If the headquarters dares to do this, it will be too disappointing.]
[Moon Rabbit: So that's how it is. I've been urging everyone to stay calm and wait for the headquarters announcement. There are too few rational people.]
[Niu Xiaomei: Dismiss Yuan Shi Tianzun for a rotten person? Did the Songhai Branch's higher-ups have their brains eaten by zombies?]
[Ice and Snow Fairy: Although Yuan Shi Tianzun is at fault, it's understandable. It just shows that he is a moral and passionate person. I read the appendix. That psychic was really miserable. Wei Yuanzhou is simply a beast.]
[Pink Head: Careless. The main reason is that the higher-ups didn't issue an announcement before, and many people were being led by the nose.]
Jiang Jingwei's face broke into a smile as she read on.
Previously, she accompanied the Queen in finding opposing arguments online, which made her extremely angry (literally), and she couldn't wait to have an offline PK with that group of officials who accused Yuan Shi Tianzun of killing colleagues.
Then she didn't dare to look at the forum anymore.
Now, although there are still people in the comments saying "You can't kill people," "Where are the rules," and "It can't cover up Yuan Shi Tianzun's serious violations," more and more people are speaking up for Yuan Shi, especially female members.
On the one hand, female practitioners are more emotional. On the other hand, Yuan Shi Tianzun's outstanding performance in eliminating the Divine Generals has won him the favor and gratitude of a large number of female members.
Li Chunfeng shifted his gaze from the computer screen to Guan Ya and the Queen and said:
"Is the Songhai Branch planning to whitewash Yuan Shi Tianzun in the form of reverse psychology with that last paragraph? There will definitely be follow-up operations."
Guan Ya gave an "mm" sound, with a tone that implied she knew her younger brother better than anyone: "It's probably another bad idea from Fu Qingyang."
The Queen ignored him and continued to argue online, scolding everyone who spoke ill of Yuan Shi Tianzun. Sure enough, half an hour later, a post quickly gained popularity and was pinned to the top. The title was very eye-catching:
#If the Headquarters Severely Punishes Yuan Shi Tianzun, I Will Resign Immediately, I Swear!# The poster was Bai Hu Wan Sui.
In the content of the post, he tearfully accused Wei Yuanzhou of his atrocities, described his two encounters with attacks, and expressed disbelief that he had worked so hard for the official organization and devoted himself to the branch, only to receive this result.
In the post, he pointed out that everything he encountered was Wei Yuanzhou on the surface, but didn't the official organization have any responsibility?
Wei Yuanzhou was gentle on the outside but actually a twisted madman. The official organization conducted annual check-ups every year but never noticed this dark-hearted madman.
Everything that happened today was caused by the imperfect system of the Jinghai Branch and even the headquarters. The essay was extremely infectious and moving.
《Jian Lai》
At the end, he summed it up with a sentence: Yuan Shi Tianzun is certainly at fault, but I think the headquarters is more at fault. I have already written my resignation letter. When the headquarters' punishment result comes out, I will submit it. The world is vast, where can't a Saint go?
As soon as this post came out, the comments below were overwhelmingly blaming the headquarters and the Jinghai Branch, creating a frenzy of activity.
Before one wave subsided, another arose. The second identical post followed closely behind. #If the Headquarters Severely Punishes Yuan Shi Tianzun, I Will Resign Immediately, I Swear!# The poster was Mu Dan Xianzi (Peony Fairy), who also attached a photo of her resignation letter. Then came the third, fourth, and fifth posts. In just half an hour, the forum's homepage was occupied by "resignation posts." The posters were generally newly promoted Saints.
Comrades who fought side-by-side with Yuan Shi Tianzun in the transcendent killing dungeon.
Then there were the captains of the Songhai Branch, Li Dongze, Bai Long (White Dragon), Qing Teng (Green Vine), etc., and some of Yuan Shi Tianzun's staunch supporters who had been led by the nose, such as "Niu Xiaomei" (Cow Girl). These groups.
Under these posts, the water armies from various branches actively commented and maintained the heat.
Although the number of these water armies was not too large, probably only about a hundred, which was only a small part compared to the Five Elements Alliance, don't forget that the people who speak out on the Internet are always a minority. Most people are silent, which makes the momentum seem particularly large.
In the end, the forum administrators had to collectively silence everyone, prohibiting all comments and posts, which calmed things down.
Li Chunfeng closed the forum reluctantly and said, "It's a pity that the official forums are all under real-name registration, so we can't create water armies in large quantities. Otherwise, I could help. Alas, how did the Songhai Branch do it?"
As a scholar, he was very confident in the field of hacking technology.
"How did they get employees from major branches across the country to act as water armies?" He looked curious.
The official forum was not an ordinary website forum. Members of Spirit Realm families, although granted access, did not have the right to post.
Each account behind the one-sided public opinion just now was a real The Way of the Extraordinary. Guan Ya sneered, "Convincing people with virtue."
"What?" Li Chunfeng looked blank.
Guan Ya didn't explain. She got up and left the living room and walked towards the stairs:
"I'm going to sleep for a while. We just need to wait for the headquarters' announcement."
Suburbs of the capital
The Taiyi Sect's training camp was built in the suburbs away from the city, nestled against mountains and rivers. It used the name of a club to encircle the nearby mountains, building training grounds and dormitories on the mountain. There was a corpse-raising ground, a spirit-raising ground, a shooting range, a physical training ground, and a group combat ground.
Of course, there were also many entertainment projects, such as a race track, a golf course, a soccer field, a horse farm, an indoor tennis court, a gym, etc.
There was also a reservoir in the mountains where one could snorkel, fish, row boats, and participate in various water activities.
In addition, the scenery was beautiful, so it was used as a leisure and vacation spot by the high-level members of the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance. Some old deacons and elders liked to open up a vegetable garden in the mountains to raise some poultry and live leisurely.
But for the middle and lower-level Night Roamers, this was a nightmarish place.
All the enjoyment had nothing to do with them. They had to endure high-intensity training and combat every day, and every now and then, a Star Official or Elder would come and beat them up.
After finishing a day of training, Yuan Ting returned to the dormitory, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, packed his luggage, and hummed a song in a good mood, planning to go to the club's main building for a drink.
He had been in the training camp for two months, and he could return to Songhai tomorrow, leaving this ghostly place.
Passing through the small square with the fountain pool, he entered the brightly lit club's main building. The first floor was a restaurant, the second floor was a bar, and the third and fourth floors were an entertainment city with tennis courts, an indoor ice-skating rink, an internet cafe, etc.
Arriving at the lounge bar that played soothing music, Yuan Ting glanced around and saw a few familiar faces sitting in the booth by the window: Sun Miaomiao, who had a round face and innocent big eyes; Zhao Chenghuang, who had a cold and arrogant expression; and a charming and glamorous mature woman.
He walked over and sat down at the table, first nodding to the charming and glamorous woman, and then looked at Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I won't keep you company. By the way, you still have half a month of training, right?"
After being promoted to Saints, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang and this group of people were sent to the training camp for training. They had to complete a month before they could leave.
During this period, they would be taught some of the combat skills and knowledge of Star Officials and the characteristics of dungeons, etc.
"Look how proud you are," Sun Miaomiao wrinkled her nose.
"I don't want to stay in this ghostly place for even a moment. I still have a lot of secrets to share with everyone. The last time I posted, my phone was confiscated by the Elder," Yuan Ting complained and looked at the charming and glamorous woman and said:
"Deacon Yingying, are you here on vacation?"
His tone was somewhat respectful, partly because of ingrained ideas and partly because the other party, as a senior Saint, was much stronger than these newly promoted Saints.
The glamorous woman didn't answer and looked at Sun Miaomiao.
Yuan Ting immediately asked, "Has anything happened outside recently? Based on my experience, there's at least one breaking news story a month. Share it."
He looked impatient.
"We were just talking about Yuan Shi Tianzun. This kid has caused another big incident," Sun Miaomiao said with a clear voice. Yuan Ting's eyes lit up: "What happened?"
The charming and glamorous Yingying then told the story of Yuan Shi Tianzun killing an official member in the Jinghai Branch without authorization. "Hiss, this kid is too bold. He's going to be fired and imprisoned," Yuan Ting was taken aback.
Yingying smiled and said, "This incident has caused quite a stir. The Taiyi Sect forum has launched a debate about it. I don't agree with Yuan Shi Tianzun's actions, so I posted a debate post, and Miaomiao scolded me all day. I came over to play with her."
Sun Miaomiao's expression suddenly became a little awkward. "I forgot to switch accounts."
She used her grandfather's power to register many accounts on the forum. She usually used these accounts to dominate the forum, but she would occasionally make mistakes, like now.
Oh, the online quarrel escalated into an offline PK. Yuan Ting glanced at Sun Miaomiao's big eyes and round face and thought, you're already a Saint, why are you being such a coward? Have a fight with Yingying. I can watch a show before I leave.
Zhao Chenghuang said indifferently:
"People are not machines. They have emotions and passion. If everything has to be done according to the rules, it will lose its human touch." He was openly supporting Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Yingying glanced at him and said with a smile, "Did you change your opinion of Yuan Shi Tianzun after entering the slaughter dungeon?"
Zhao Chenghuang sipped his strong liquor and said in a cold manner, "Just speaking factually."
At this time, Yuan Ting looked towards the depths of the bar, startled, and lowered his voice:
"Look, Deacon Yin Ji."
In that corner by the window sat a woman with a slender figure and a black veil on her face. Her eyes were like gems in the dark night, deep and bright, and extremely beautiful.
She had a glass of wine beside her, but she didn't take a sip. She stared blankly at the mountain scenery outside the window.
Gentle, elegant, and melancholic.
Although he was now a Saint, the difference in status between a level 4 Saint and a level 6 Saint was enormous, so Yuan Ting subconsciously lowered his voice, as if discussing a big figure.
Sun Miaomiao gave an "oh" sound, "Sister Yin Ji is about to enter the slaughter dungeon and is here to warm up in the training camp." The three chatted and drank, Zhao Chenghuang occasionally interjected, and time passed quickly.
After a few glasses of wine, Yuan Ting stood up contentedly and raised his eyebrows again and smiled: "You two continue to train. I'll take my leave first, hahaha."
As he laughed, he saw the training camp's instructor walk in, looking around for a moment before walking straight towards this table. "Yuan Ting, there's something I need to tell you," the instructor stopped by the table.
"What's the matter?" Looking at the instructor's solemn expression, Yuan Ting's heart sank.
"The higher-ups just notified us that due to some accident, the training camp can no longer release members. People whose terms are expiring soon will have to stay for another half month. Well, it's okay to tell you. It's just that the Breaking Evil Talismans are not safe enough. As a precaution, we are recalling the Night Roamers as much as possible to avoid the storm," the instructor said.
What Breaking Evil Talismans, what avoiding the storm, Yuan Ting didn't hear a single word. All he heard in his mind was the echo of "another half month."
"No, no, no."
Yuan Ting slowly slid down the table, his tragic screams echoing in the bar.
Sun Miaomiao happily raised her hand:
"Let's invite everyone for a drink."
In a high-tech conference room, Elder Di Hong, surrounded by the elders at the table, said in a deep voice:
"Let's discuss the punishment for Yuan Shi Tianzun. The suggestion submitted by the Songhai Branch is to dismiss the main culprit Yuan Shi Tianzun and imprison him, and to dismiss Jiang Jingwei and Guan Ya and ban them from employment for life.
"According to organizational regulations, Yuan Shi Tianzun will face imprisonment for five to ten years, removal from all positions, and a ban from employment for life. The two accomplices will be demoted and given a major demerit.
"Considering Yuan Shi Tianzun's meritorious achievements, the punishment can be appropriately reduced." The Great Elder of the Hundred Flowers Society "heh"ed:
"The Songhai Branch's move is to advance by retreating. I received an appeal call from Old Dog today. He hopes the headquarters can give a lenient punishment. My suggestion is that Yuan Shi Tianzun has not been affiliated with the official organization for long and his sense of belonging is not high enough. Excessive punishment will easily force him away. For geniuses, we should give a certain amount of tolerance, focusing on education and supplementing it with punishment. Demote him to captain and then summon him to headquarters for a year of ideological education."
Di Hong shook his head slightly: "Too light." The Great Elder of the Red Fire Gang immediately said:
"We have to consider the attitudes of the marshal and the gang leader, even though they won't express any opinions. In addition, I have received a call from the Xie family's patriarch, hoping that the headquarters can handle this matter leniently. This determines the supply of Life Origin Fluid. My personal opinion is that this child has risen too quickly and is somewhat lawless. We can't let him go and need to temper his character, but expulsion is definitely not an option. My suggestion is imprisonment for one year, demotion to an ordinary member, and a major demerit."
Elder Di Hong still shook his head:
"He killed not a rogue cultivator, not an evil profession, but an official The Way of the Extraordinary with a position. Even an elder would have to be demoted if there were no special reasons. On the basis of the above, deduct all his bonuses and benefits and retain his basic salary.
He cannot be promoted to deacon within three years. What do you think?"
At this time, a young elder said:
"Have you all seen the forum?"
Silence fell at the conference table.
The headquarters elders, who were busy with everything, usually did not pay attention to the information on the Internet.
The young elder repeated the forum's public opinion and sneered:
"Fu Qingyang's crooked methods are quite a few, but this also shows that a large part of the organization supports Yuan Shi Tianzun.
"We have to consider the impact of excessive punishment. First, will it affect the trust of middle and low-level The Way of the Extraordinary in the organization? Second, what is the public opinion and loss caused if that group of Saints really resigns? Third, we must beware of Fu Qingyang, beware of the Fu family."
After a pause, he slowly said: "The organizers of that group of Saints is Fu Qingyang. I think the resignation is not a bluff. If we turn a blind eye, Fu Qingyang is likely to eat this group of Saints.
"The Spirit Realm families are like feudal lords who are conferred land. Once they are let go, there will be endless troubles. His White Tiger Guard has already become too powerful."
Elder Di Hong pondered silently.
The next morning
Zhang Yuanqing was awakened by the sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and sat up, listening to the sound of footsteps gradually approaching and finally stopping outside the door. Standing outside the door was Fu Qingyang in white clothes, followed by a bunny girl carrying a food box.
The bunny girl swiped open the door and entered the room, arranging the food one by one. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the rich delicacies and smiled, "Is this my last meal?"
Looking at Fu Qingyang's calm and gentle expression, he knew that the headquarters' punishment result had already come out.
"The headquarters has issued an announcement. The punishment result is demotion to an ordinary member, deduction of all bonuses and benefits, retention of basic salary, imprisonment in FQY Village for one month, and no promotion to captain or deacon within one year."
Demotion, deduction of money, and affecting my future, but not clearing my merit. That is to say, I can restore my position after one year. My material quota of several hundred million is gone. Apart from the financial loss that is painful, the punishment is not severe. Zhang Yuanqing quickly analyzed and asked:
"What did the headquarters say about the curse?"
Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "The branch did not report the matter of the curse; if the headquarters knew you were cursed, the punishment would be more than this. Those dog elders believe that the curse will naturally disappear after you are promoted to ruler. This matter need not be mentioned again."
"Understood," Zhang Yuanqing understood.
If there is a curse, he is a ticking time bomb. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the headquarters' punishment must be imprisonment plus ideological education.
Then he would lose his freedom.
As for expulsion, Zhang Yuanqing never believed that the headquarters would expel him.
For genius members with the qualifications of an alliance leader, the attitude of any organization must be "teaching" and "punishment" as the main focus, and they will never let go.
If he is truly heinous, then he will be obliterated. Fu Qingyang said:
"Stay here for a few days and prepare for the dungeon. You can leave anytime after the storm has passed. Just don't appear in front of other official members before the end of the one-month imprisonment."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Boss, give me back my phone. Also, prepare some tools and materials for drawing talismans. I will enter the dungeon in a week at most."
Fu Qingyang hesitated for a moment, "Okay, but you are not allowed to post on the forum." After receiving Zhang Yuanqing's affirmative answer, he turned and left.
After Fu Qingyang left, Zhang Yuanqing quickly filled his stomach, lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the body of Xue Qiangwei (Blood Rose) through the brand in his sea of consciousness.
The bedroom door opened, and Xue Qiangwei, with delicate features, opened her eyes, stepped out of the closet, walked to the desk with a clear goal, opened the cabinet, took out the cat king speaker and put it in her bag.
Then she opened the bedside table, took a bottle of blue pills, came to the window and flipped out.
Using the air conditioner outdoor unit as a pedal, Xue Qiangwei skillfully jumped into the corridor window and came outside the door.
She walked towards the elevator to go to FQY Village. "Ding"
The elevator door opened. In the car were the maternal grandmother carrying a vegetable basket and the maternal aunt holding the mother's arm acting coquettishly.
Both sides were stunned.
ps: Fix the typo first, then update. Ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month.
