Newspaper Boy
Chapter 232 Making Merit
Guan Ya frowned slightly, although she was a blood-related cousin, she seemed very resistant to contacting that demigod.
She observed her boyfriend's expression, her heart sinking slightly, "What happened?"
"Fu Qingyang and two elders set up a trap to hunt down the Chunyang Sect Leader and the Dark Night Rose, and they haven't returned yet. It's been a whole night, which is unreasonable. The Marshal is in Songhai," Zhang Yuanqing said quickly.
Guan Ya also realized the seriousness of the situation.
For The Way of the Extraordinary, demigods possessed overwhelming power. What kind of battle would take her cousin a whole night?
She immediately took out her phone from her pocket, unlocked the screen, opened the address book, found the name "Fu Qingxuan", and dialed.
"Beep beep, beep beep" The phone rang for a long time before being finally answered.
Zhang Yuanqing heard a very textured female voice, "You rarely call me, what's the matter?"
The voice was neither weak nor charming, but had the texture of ice clashing, and an implicit sense of majesty.
Just hearing the voice, he imagined a queen wearing a dragon robe, reigning over the world.
Guan Ya took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Sister, Fu Qingyang hasn't returned yet."
"He's in trouble." The voice on the other end of the phone said coldly, "He should have been taken into a mustard seed space by the Dark Night Rose. I spent the whole night circling Jinshan City, using tracking props, and could only confirm that he was still in Jinshan City, but couldn't pinpoint his location. To last a whole night and not return to the spirit realm, my brother is quite a capable piece of trash."
The trash theory has been carried forward by Fu Qingyang... Zhang Yuanqing muttered inwardly.
Guan Ya smiled wryly, "You're still holding a grudge at this time, what do we do now?"
"The think tank and the elders of the Songhai branch are meeting to discuss, but haven't come up with a plan yet." The female marshal said, "Anything else? I'm very busy."
Zhang Yuanqing whispered, "Ask her what exactly happened. We should have been fully prepared, how could it turn out like this?"
Although he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he vaguely realized that his plan was out of control.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong. It was all the intuition of the Star Official.
"Is that Yuan Shi Tian Zun next to you?" The female marshal heard his voice, her tone suddenly turned cold, and she said in a voice filled with icy texture and majesty, "Are you the one who often says I'm trash behind Fu Qingyang's back?"
Zhang Yuanqing was quite anxious at first, but hearing this, his whole body trembled, and he almost kowtowed to show the marshal his sincerity, but considering that it was over the phone, no matter how deep his sincerity was, the marshal wouldn't be able to sense it, so he said, "Marshal, I personally strongly oppose and disagree with what Elder Fu said. I clearly told him that the Marshal is a favored child of heaven, a unique and unparalleled woman in the world, who has become a demigod at such a young age, like Wu Zetian ascending the throne, unprecedented, but Elder Fu wouldn't listen to that, he has a rebellious bone."
"That's nicely said." Fu Qingxuan's voice softened slightly, and then she said solemnly:
"Last night, the King of Fear released the prisoners in Pingchuan City Prison, deliberately luring me away from Songhai. In order to deal with me, he carried the Shura's Warblade. I was delayed by him for a while. When I returned to the zoo, the Devil Eye had already been rescued, and Fu Qingyang was missing. Elder Gou contacted the Grand Elder Red Sun Punisher of the Taiyi Sect for help last night. The Red Sun Punisher observed the heavens at night and reported that Jinghua, the Silver Moon Heavenly King of the Military Sect, died in Jinshan City. After that, he 'couldn't see' anything else."
The Silver Moon Heavenly King appeared in Jinshan City? Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank slightly. He immediately restrained his emotions and asked, "Marshal, what are the current difficulties?"
"Locating Fu Qingyang, breaking open the mustard seed space, and entering it." The female marshal didn't act arrogantly because Yuan Shi Tian Zun was of a lower level, and said everything as it was.
"The mustard seed space that trapped Fu Qingyang is similar to a space prop, but it's different from the Twisted Realm of the Dionysus Club last time. The former has 'secrecy' added to it, and my sword energy can't locate it, so I can't break it." After speaking, she hung up the phone crisply.
"Wait for me a few minutes." Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and kissed Guan Ya's delicate face, and went straight out of the room.
He returned to his bedroom, took out his phone, and sent a voice message with a grim expression, "Damn it, are you messing with me?"
A few seconds later, the King of Fear replied with a message: [This is my freedom (smile)]
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a few seconds, then sent another voice message in a low voice, "When did it start?"
[King of Fear: Guess (smile)]
Zhang Yuanqing's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he sent a voice message through gritted teeth, "You just wait, I'll break your dog head!"
He was extremely angry, even though the person on the other side of the phone was a demigod.
But besides anger, there was also fear and coldness in Zhang Yuanqing's heart that he didn't want to admit.
The appearance of the Silver Moon Heavenly King of the Military Sect in Jinshan City was enough to prove that the Dark Night Rose and the Military Sect had communicated about last night's operation. Then, the King of Fear delaying the Marshal with the Shura's Warblade was not only to help delay time, but also to delay time for the Great Protector of the Dark Night Rose.
His premonition was right. Someone had taken advantage of his plan, using it to their advantage to eat the three official elders, rescue the Devil Eye, and seize Yuan Shi Tian Zun, the favored child of heaven, by his fatal weakness.
Killing three birds with one stone. And the only ones who could do this were the strong ones who were also Star Officials, a certain protector of the Dark Night Rose, or even the leader hidden behind the scenes who had never shown up.
He just didn't know when this game started. If the layout had already begun from the first time he met the King of Fear in the shopping mall that day, it would be too terrifying.
His first battle after being promoted to Star Official had taught him a harsh lesson.
He wouldn't let them succeed. Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, suppressed the frustration and anger in his heart, and decisively turned on White Face, starting a brainstorming session.
"The Marshal's difficulty lies in not being able to locate Fu Qingyang. He's trapped in a space prop, and with the blessing of secrecy, he can't be located. Even if the attack is strong, it's equivalent to hitting air."
"Locate Fu Qingyang, locate Fu Qingyang..." Zhang Yuanqing thought of the red dancing shoes that had been lying in his inventory for a long time.
The usage form of the red dancing shoes: Throw the red dancing shoes at the designated target, or use the target's blood, hair, skin, and other cells as a medium to lock the target. It will endlessly pursue the target...
This is the rule!
"I can let the red dancing shoes pursue Fu Qingyang, wouldn't that be able to lock him?" Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up.
The Five Elements Alliance's tracking props couldn't find Fu Qingyang because the "function" and "rule" were not the same.
In the spirit realm system, only rules can suppress rules.
He immediately rushed out of the room, found Guan Ya, and said quickly, "Call your cousin again."
At the zoo, Elder Gou was squatting in front of a computer in the pet house. His voice was low, "Currently, the think tank of the White Tiger Army has not given a new plan. Fu Qingyang, Hongying, and Gaofeng may return to the spirit realm at any time, and the Saint who followed them is likely to have encountered an accident." His dark button eyes swept across the avatars of the four elders of the Songhai branch on the screen, and his tone was slightly ashamed.
"The Devil Eye has also been rescued. He was jointly arrested by us, and it's my dereliction of duty." The microphone on the avatar of Elder Luo Shen lit up, "Why did you leave the zoo?"
"Someone impersonated my old friend and tricked me out of Songhai." Elder Gou said.
"An old friend?" Elder Huangsha Baizhan pondered, "Since they can pretend to be your old friend? They have a very deep understanding of your old friend and you. This is a clue."
"I'll investigate, but it will take time." Elder Gou replied.
"You're a waste, you messed up such a simple task of guarding prisoners," Elder Huo, "Destroyer of Worlds," said angrily, and the sound of him slamming the table echoed in the pet house through the microphone.
"Do you even need to investigate? Doesn't your broken zoo have employees and artificial spirits? Just ask them."
Elder Gou silently endured the other party's rude words, "I asked the plants and employees. There was one person who invaded the zoo, but the plants couldn't clearly describe the characteristics of those people. The employees completed a character sketch with my help. The four invaders used the same face. Obviously, my employees were affected by illusion."
"The only eyewitnesses are the white lion and the tree that sealed the Devil Eye. Unfortunately, the white lion suffered severe trauma and is being nurtured by the artificial spirit, so it hasn't woken up yet. The camphor tree did provide some clues. Among the four invaders, there was one Yin Corpse, and one sank into the Weak Lake. As you know, things that sink into the Weak Lake can never be salvaged again. In addition, according to it, the Devil Eye called one of the invaders Ghost Blade Heavenly King."
"I checked the surveillance outside the zoo today and didn't capture the invaders."
Elder Xirang of the Central Garden frowned, "Ghost Blade Heavenly King... It seems that the Military Sect has been planning for a long time. They even dispatched this Heavenly King."
"No!" Huangsha Baizhan said in a deep voice, "It's not the Ghost Blade Heavenly King. Your tree misheard."
"How do you say that?" "Destroyer of Worlds" asked in a muffled voice.
"If it were the Ghost Blade Heavenly King, why would he avoid surveillance? Why would he use illusion?" Huangsha Baizhan said, "Does the Heavenly King of the Military Sect need to hide when breaking into enemy territory to rescue someone? The Devil Eye's words are more like an attempt to hide something. He's trying to cover up for someone."
A scout is always the most敏锐.
"Who?" Elder Xirang asked.
Huangsha Baizhan said slowly, "I don't know, but that person's identity should be very sensitive and cannot be made public. Given the relationship between the Military Sect and the Dark Night Rose, I guess it's a spy from the Dark Night Rose planted in the government."
"Elder Gou, investigate your old friend's information. This is the clue."
Elder Gou said "Mm," and then changed the subject, "The Devil Eye has already been rescued. This matter is a foregone conclusion. The most important thing now is to rescue the three missing elders..."
Before he could finish speaking, an ID with the avatar of a white-haired beauty forcibly "intruded" into the online conference room.
The marshal's textured and majestic voice came from the speakers of the elders, "It's 9:30 in the morning now. Fu Qingyang has been missing for eight hours, and you've been helpless for eight hours. I'm not happy."
The scalps of the five elders in the conference room went numb instantly.
With this willful young lady's personality, being unhappy is a very serious threat.
But they really had no way. The Dark Night Rose had used power beyond the level of a Dominator.
Elder Gou calmed himself down and said in a humble tone, "Marshal, the think tank hasn't given a new plan yet. There are only two options: ask the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect to locate him personally; ask the President of the Merchant Guild to take action. But neither of the demigods has replied yet."
Demigods are not omnipotent. The Alliance Leaders of the Five Elements Alliance can't help with things like finding people. They have to find professionals.
Fu Qingxuan's tone turned cold, "What if they never reply?"
The elders were speechless, and the conference room was silent.
Just as they were preparing to welcome the Marshal's anger, they suddenly heard Fu Qingxuan say, "I'll take a call!"
The Marshal's avatar exited the conference room.
The elders in the conference room still didn't dare to speak, and their mood was particularly heavy.
Elder Gou's sigh echoed in the speaker.
At this time, Fu Qingxuan came back online and said in a lighter tone, "You five immediately mobilize the Deacons of the Songhai branch and go to Jinshan City to prepare to maintain order."
The elders in the conference room were stunned at first, and then guessed something. Elder Gou said in delight, "Did the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect agree to help?"
The other elders also thought the same way.
Fu Qingxuan said faintly, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun said he has a way to find Fu Qingyang."
"Yuan Shi Tian Zun?!" The elders were stunned for a moment.
Fu Qingyang was a very cautious person, and he wouldn't leave too many traces even in his own residence.
The hair on the pillow, the toothbrush in the bathroom, the possible cells on the clothes, etc., were all handled very cleanly.
The bunny girl was strictly trained to handle these details very dutifully.
The fallen hairs would be incinerated, and the clothes and underwear worn would be sterilized and cleaned, without leaving any biological tissue.
Moneybags was obviously not a hemorrhoid youth either. There was no DNA to be found in the toilet, and he wasn't a craftsman either. There were no remnants of family heirs in the trash can.
In the end, Zhang Yuanqing found half a glass of unfinished wine on the desk in his bedroom.
He obtained Moneybags’ oral epithelial cells from the rim of the glass.
He wiped the cup carefully with a paper towel, taking away the epithelial tissue, and then walked out of the villa to wait by the fountain pool in the yard.
Before long, a white sword light appeared on the horizon.
Just as he saw the sword light, before he could react, the white sword light landed in the courtyard.
The sword light dissipated, and a young woman wearing slim-fitting riding pants and high-heeled boots stood gracefully in the courtyard.
This was a woman who could not be described with words like "beautiful" or "pretty."
Because these words were used to describe mortal beauties.
The marshal was not a mortal woman. She was the female protagonist who walked out of the anime.
She had a head of fluffy white hair, her eyelashes were white, and she had a pair of clear, bright, light green heterochromatic eyes. Her eyes were big, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, giving her a spirited look.
Her exquisite face was flawless. No human skin could be so perfect.
White hair, heterochromatic eyes, big cartoon eyes, and a flawless beauty... Any otaku would go crazy when they saw her.
Zhang Yuanqing thought sincerely.
The white-haired marshal suddenly frowned and said coldly, "Your eyes look like the way I looked at my favorite doll when I was a child."
Zhang Yuanqing kowtowed, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun greets the Marshal. Long live the Marshal, long live, long live."
Fu Qingxuan's brows relaxed, and she ignored Yuan Shi Tian Zun's slight disrespect and said, "Can you help me locate Fu Qingyang?"
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his eyes, not looking at the Marshal's face, and said, "Please take me to Jinshan City, Marshal."
"Okay!"
Fu Qingxuan nodded slightly, and without delay, she took out her mobile phone, performed a series of operations, and then reached out and pressed Zhang Yuanqing's shoulder.
Zhang Yuanqing heard an electronic female voice coming from the other party's mobile phone, "Preparing to depart, heading to Jinshan City, a total of 568 kilometers, which will take approximately 10 minutes. Starting navigation!"
Why use navigation? A row of question marks flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind.
The next second, a huge sonic boom exploded in his ears, and the oncoming gale was like a steel knife scraping across his body, and the city below was rapidly receding.
Besides the whistling wind in his ears, there was also the "exclamation" of the navigation software: "You have exceeded the speed limit, please slow down. You have exceeded the speed limit, please slow down." The white sword light landed on the rooftop of a building in Jinshan City.
Zhang Yuanqing's first reaction was: Being on solid ground is the happiest thing in the world.
The second reaction was to touch his forehead and find that his hairline had moved up a few centimeters.
The strong wind like a steel knife had indeed blown away some of his hair.
Fu Qingxuan looked down at this not-so-prosperous city, and said in a majestic and cold tone, "Let's go!"
Her indifference was not directed at any one person, but seemed to be innate. Born to be a high-ranking queen, she had a clear sense of distance from her subjects.
Being with her is a bit stressful. The Devil Lord is still awesome. He even wants to sleep with this kind of domineering woman... Lower my head, lower my head, she can't see through me...
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head, summoned the red dancing shoes from his inventory, and two dark red rays of light intertwined, turning into a pair of brand new dancing shoes.
"Tap tap tap..." As soon as the red dancing shoes appeared, they cheerfully took steps, preparing to circle around their master, but they suddenly froze, and then abandoned their master? Coming to the Marshal, the left shoe stepped back, and the heel was slightly raised.
It performed an elegant curtsy.
The Marshal raised her eyebrows, "A rule-type prop of the Illusionary Void profession. No wonder you dare to boast."
Zhang Yuanqing stuffed the paper towel he was holding tightly in his hand into the red dancing shoes.
The red dancing shoes stood still, seemingly reading the DNA in the paper towel. After about three or four seconds, they suddenly acted, pattering out of the rooftop and running madly along the steep wall.
Fu Qingxuan stood on the rooftop, gazing at them passing through the streets and alleys, through the tall buildings.
Finally, the red dancing shoes stopped in a very remote place.
It was a traffic light. The red dancing shoes were spinning around in circles at the intersection, occasionally flying up and kicking hard into the void, kicking out spatial ripples that were invisible to the mortal eye.
They found Fu Qingyang, but they couldn't get in.
The pedestrians and vehicles on the street were oblivious to these jumping dancing shoes.
"So it's here." Fu Qingxuan leaped up, transforming into a white sword light, and swept towards the intersection in the distance.
Damn, this woman just rushed over like that? Doesn't she even use illusion? Does she want to be on the news...?
Zhang Yuanqing was shocked and quickly took out the Swift Wind Gloves and chased after her frantically.
He was now a Level 6 Saint and could cast large-scale illusion magic.
