Chapter 100

Guan Ya was stunned, her first reaction being one of doubt and disbelief. She opened the post and glanced at it, the content describing how Yuanshi Tianzun had been unexpectedly attacked last night and died at home, with the cause of death unknown.

The process was not detailed.

But the experienced official operatives immediately understood.

Assassination!

With an unknown cause of death and a mysterious death, it must have been an assassination.

The official operatives from the Songhai branch and other branches, after reading the post, were filled with rage. They felt a strong sense of empathy for their colleague being assassinated.

"Who did this? The Spirit Ability Association or the Xiahou family? Is this a provocation to our Five Elements Alliance?"

"It can't be the Xiahou family, Yuanshi Tianzun has B-level merit. The Xiahou family must have gone mad to assassinate him. If they really did it, the Elders' Council and the leaders of the alliance would definitely punish the Xiahou family."

"Are the Songhai branch members all useless? They couldn't even protect a genius. I just checked the Taiyi Sect forum, and it's all mocking us, saying the Five Elements Alliance can't even protect one person."

"What does this have to do with us in Songhai? It's the Kangyang district people who are useless."

"Dead just like that? What a pity."

Guan Ya's face was not good. After reading a few comments, she left the forum, still not believing the content of the post.

She opened her contact list and dialed Yuanshi's number.

If the call was answered, she would laugh and tease, "Aren't you dead? How are you still alive?"

If the call was not answered, if the call was not answered...

"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service. Please try again later!"

Guan Ya's face gradually fell, pale and bloodless. She stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed her handbag and rushed to the stairwell, her figure staggering and panicked.

She was going to Yuanshi's home to confirm.

Rushing out of the glass building, just as she was about to get in the car, she paused, remembering that Yuanshi's cousin, Chen Yuanjun, was the captain of the Kangyang district security team.

She immediately changed direction, wearing high heels, and ran towards the security headquarters.

She rushed into the administrative building, her steps quick, and asked the receptionist:

"Is Captain Chen Yuanjun here today?"

The receptionist clearly recognized Guan Ya and was surprised that she was asking about Captain Chen. She smiled and said:

"Captain Chen is upstairs. Should I call him down for you?"

Guan Ya glanced at the female receptionist and suddenly shook her head: "No, that's not necessary!"

Chen Yuanjun was working normally, and the female receptionist's eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip. As a scout, Guan Ya immediately realized something was wrong.

Either Chen Yuanjun didn't know about his cousin's sacrifice, or Yuanshi was not dead.

She turned and left the security headquarters, basking in the warm sunlight, and came to a secluded place. She took a deep breath and called Fu Qingyang.

"What is it?" Fu Qingyang's cold voice came through.

"Where is Yuanshi? Is he dead or alive?" Guan Ya asked in a low voice.

After asking, she held her breath.

"I set up a scheme with him, faking his death for a few days," Fu Qingyang said calmly. "I've already informed Li Dongze. Since you know, you should cooperate."

Guan Ya exhaled, completely relaxed: "Can I ask why?"

"You're too low in rank, you don't have the right to know," Fu Qingyang said indifferently.

Guan Ya gritted her teeth: "You didn't hit me hard enough when I was a kid."

"I still have work to do, don't bother me if it's not important," Fu Qingyang hung up.

The sun was bright, and Guan Ya put away her phone, her mood brightening. She picked up her bag and walked towards the glass building.

Suddenly, she stopped, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

In the entire official organization, only she, Li Dongze, and Wang Tai knew Yuanshi's true identity. Fu Qingyang had informed Li Dongze to cooperate but hadn't informed her, his cousin.

Fu Qingyang put down his phone, his elbow on the table, his fingers interlocked, supporting his chin.

His cousin had an unusually close relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun.

For a while, Guan Ya often praised Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him, saying this young man had talent and potential, and a good mind. At first, Fu Qingyang thought it was normal admiration.

And it was.

But he secretly kept an eye on Guan Ya's attitude towards Yuanshi.

Just now, he found that his cousin's fondness for that guy had increased.

This was not a good thing. The Fu family would never let Guan Ya be with a nobody. The groom chosen by his aunt would be from a family that could rival the Fu family.

Thinking from another angle, if this motivated his cousin to strive, it might not be a bad thing.

Hmm, Yuanshi might not be interested in her. A thought suddenly flashed in Fu Qingyang's mind: Unlike me, who only likes black

stockings and long legs, with a preference for thin.

His lips twitched.

Guan Ya returned to the office and saw Jiang Jigwei and Teng Yuan, the squad leader, talking seriously.

Seeing her come in, Teng Yuan pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice:

"I've heard about Yuanshi Tianzun.

He died for the organization, in the line of duty. I think we should give his family a compensation."

Jiang Jigwei also looked sad: "I didn't protect him well."

Guan Ya pondered for a moment and said: "Squad leader, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Teng Yuan said solemnly: "A small goal, what do you think?"

Are you crazy? No one will listen to you. Guan Ya's lips twitched: "If it makes you happy, you can try to submit the application."

Zhang Yuanqing had a good sleep, as he had no professional classes in the morning and was on leave. When he woke up, he saw the little rascal wearing his uncle's wallet on his head, crawling around the room, entertaining himself.

This little rascal, he sighed.

He thought, why don't you find some other treasures for me? It's always his aunt's underwear or his uncle's wallet.

If this continues, the TV station will come to interview us, with the headline:

Aunt's Underwear Frequently Stolen, Uncle's Wallet Repeatedly Lost, Is This a Twist of Human Nature or a Decline in Morality? Tonight at 8 PM, Let's Enter the World of the Beastly Nephew Zhang Yuanqing!

In the living room, his aunt had already eaten breakfast, dressed beautifully, and was about to go to work.

Zhang Yuanqing was surprised: "Aren't you going to be late?"

His aunt peeked into the kitchen and whispered: "Shh! Your temperamental grandmother just scolded me, don't bring it up. If she hears, she'll nag again, it's so annoying."

She overslept this morning, couldn't get up, and slept until 8:30, only to be woken up by a temperamental mother's kick.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at his aunt's beautiful face, with heavy bags under her soft eyes, but it didn't detract from her beauty, rather adding a touch of delicacy.

"What did you do last night?" Zhang Yuanqing criticized:

"Did you take the opportunity to practice the Yang Supplementing Technique?"

His aunt spat and raised her hand in a兰花finger: "I practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!"

Zhang Yuanqing: "Then I'll use the 20-year-hard-practiced Beggar's Stick Technique to break your Jade Maiden Heart Sutra."

The two of them playfully exchanged a few punches in the living room, and his grandmother stormed out of the kitchen, roaring: "Get to work!"

Jiang Yueri twisted her waist and slipped out the door.

After a simple breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room, took the wallet from the little rascal's head, and pulled out three red bills, instructing:

"Take it back."

Speaking of which, his uncle, a fool, hadn't noticed the money was missing, or he might not even know the wallet was gone.

Watching the little rascal crawl out of the room, he收回his gaze and focused on the main task.

"If the operation in three days is successful, we will indeed be one step closer to the Black Wuchang, but 'Heaven's Way is Unjust' probably doesn't know the hiding place of the Black Wuchang. We'll have to see what information we can get after the spirit questioning.

"Fu Qingyang must know this too, but I wonder what his plans are."

At this moment, his phone 'ding'ed, indicating a new message.

Not for Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhang Yuanqing picked up his phone to check. He had removed the SIM card from 'Yuanshi Tianzun's' phone last night.

Sender: Xiao Yuan.

The phone number associated with the mailbox was an unregistered SIM card Zhang Yuanqing had his cousin help him get.

Of course, he wouldn't use Yuanshi Tianzun's name to communicate with Aunt Xiao Yuan.

What information did she gather? Zhang Yuanqing's spirits were lifted as he focused on reading the message:

"The other vice president of the Spirit Ability Association, under the control of the Gu King, has recently placed a bounty on the Black Wuchang and his subordinates in the black market. The Gu King might have information on the Black Wuchang, but I can't find out.

"I obtained the contact information of one of the Gu King's subordinates. His Spirit Realm ID is 'Blood Bun,' and his contact information is...

"The second piece of information: the evil profession's bounty list was updated yesterday. The Saint List has Fu Qingyang and Fire God tied for first place. The Extraordinary List has Yuanshi Tianzun from the Songhai branch of the official organization, at the bottom of the list. But I heard that guy is already dead, and the list might have been updated after someone claimed the bounty. This information should be useful to you, and you can report it to your superiors."

"The third piece of information: the 3rd-level Gu of the Army Lord Sect, Li Xianzong, recently assassinated a 4th-level Saint of the Spirit Ability Association's South Branch on his own. With this battle, his ranking has advanced to the top five in the Extraordinary stage of the evil profession."

These 50,000 yuan seem a bit overpriced. Aunt, are you considering compensation in kind? Zhang Yuanqing thought sarcastically.

But after careful analysis, he felt the 50,000 yuan was well spent.

The black market, where evil professions gather, has the news of 'Yuanshi Tianzun's death,' indicating that the information has been disseminated, increasing the chances of success for the operation tomorrow night.

Additionally, he learned about the bounty list, which not only official organizations have, but evil organizations also issue bounty lists to hunt down the Five Elements Alliance's elite members.

He, who had passed two levels in a row as a Night Walker, was also on the list, albeit at the bottom.

Who do you think you are, I'll be the top, he silently mocked.

"The first piece of information can be well utilized. Although 'Blood Bun' is an evil profession, the enemy of my enemy can be a friend. In the matter of obtaining the list, I am both an enemy and a friend to the official organization."

Zhang Yuanqing had been troubled by the 'list grab' and lacked a clear plan. Initially, he thought of asking the Palace Master of the Stop-Killing Palace to help grab the list.

But because the Black Wuchang was missing and not found, he couldn't make a detailed plan, feeling very insecure.

Now, he suddenly had a bold idea. Perhaps, besides the Stop-Killing Palace Master as an external aid, he could also collaborate with the enemy.

Stir up the waters.

The official organization, Dark Rose, Black Wuchang, and the Gu King's attention are all focused on the Holy Grail. At this time, the Stop-Killing Palace Master, a Sovereign-level figure, intervening to seize the list would face less resistance.

"Try to contact the Gu King's people."
