Fu Qingyang stood still like a statue.

Knowing that he couldn't respond, Zhang Yuanqing continued on his own:

"The Dark Night Rose is looking for someone called 'Young Soldier King'. Hei Wuchang knows the identity information of this person, so Pang Wudi asked the Heavenly Dao for information. However, Hei Wuchang doesn't know the purpose of the Dark Night Rose looking for this person."

After speaking, Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath. "Because it's unrelated to the main matter, I didn't report it just now. But considering Hei Wuchang's interest in this matter, I think it's better for you to know."

His words were a compromise after careful consideration of the current situation. Hei Wuchang might not ask about Brother Bing's matter, but according to the Heavenly Dao's memory, he would probably ask about it.

If they continued to conceal it, not only would the results of the search be in vain, but Zhang Yuanqing would also completely lose Fu Qingyang's trust.

So, Zhang Yuanqing made a compromise, only revealing a part of the information, and then diverting attention away from the most crucial information - that the Young Soldier King was involved in the operation to hunt down the Ghost Judge.

He knew that Fu Qingyang would definitely notice something. It was impossible to fool a scout at the Saint level.

But this was a necessary price to pay. Doubt and complete loss of trust - naturally, he chose the former.

In the bedroom, the Heavenly Dao responded with a slightly stiff and deep voice, "No response!"

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

After speaking, he sneered, "Why would the Dark Night Rose tell us if there are deeper motives behind their search for this person?"

His voice and his subtle expressions were not exactly the same as the real "Heavenly Dao", but they were very similar, at least there was nothing abnormal.

Although Fu Qingyang's understanding of the "Heavenly Dao" was limited to brief contact and Zhang Yuanqing's description during the spiritual inquiry, it was enough for a high-level scout.

The blood mist face floated in the bowl and said lightly, "It doesn't matter, this matter is not important. You should continue to lurk these days and not go out. Come see me at the usual place at midnight the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, the blood in the bowl no longer boiled, and the blood mist dissipated.

In the corridor, Fu Qingyang, who looked like a wooden sculpture, twitched his eyebrows and eyes, regaining his spirit.

He glanced at Zhang Yuanqing beside him and repeated the conversation in the bedroom, then said, "Think back and see if there is any place that left a deep impression on the Heavenly Dao. It could be one of Hei Wuchang's bases or a place they often visit within the Songhai range."

Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes and thought for a moment within the Songhai range. He slowly said, "Jiu San Youth City, Room 1802 in Building 2, Lai Fu Hotel, Songhe Third Elementary School, Songhe Cafe."

He listed seven or eight locations in one breath and explained, "These places are where Hei Wuchang has lived, operated, or worked before. The common characteristic is that Hei Wuchang and his subordinates have held meetings and used them as temporary bases."

"But I don't know if there are any more. After all, the memory of a spirit is incomplete."

Fu Qingyang leaned on the railing with both hands, looking at the night view in the distance, his brows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to speak, afraid that beneath Young Master Fu's calm appearance, he was contemplating the ten cruelest tortures for interrogating criminals.

Fu Qingyang exhaled and said, "There are too many bases, and we lack enough manpower."

He didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Yuanqing understood his frustration.

The search operation was nearing its end, and as long as they ambushed the meeting place between the Dark Night Rose and Hei Wuchang, they could capture them all.

However, there was a mole within the Five Elements Alliance, and it was impossible to gather too many people for the ambush operation. Fu Qingyang only brought him along in the past two days for this reason.

Before the incident with Hengxing Wuji, the Five Elements Alliance conducted a carpet-style search for Hei Wuchang, with multiple official teams cooperating.

Since learning about the existence of the Dark Night Rose, Fu Qingyang changed his strategy and no longer gathered subordinates, instead acting alone.

To get back on track, there weren't enough people. On one hand, the secrecy was high, and it was impossible to mobilize a large number of personnel. On the other hand, Hei Wuchang and the leader of the Dark Night Rose were high-level Spirit Realm walkers.

Official members below the Saint level didn't need to be considered.

"The Songhai branch has five elders, each with their trusted subordinates. We can only ambush five bases, so we must narrow down the targets to those five," Fu Qingyang pondered.

"If we have detailed information on Hei Wuchang, I can analyze the places he would choose based on his personality and habits."

"I have it, but 'Human Blood Steamed Bun' hasn't replied yet," Zhang Yuanqing furrowed his brows, cooperating with him.

"Captain, what should we do next?" Fu Qingyang glanced at him without leaving a trace. "Let's go back first. I need to check some information."

The next day.

Zhang Yuanqing woke up on time and saw Little Silly staring at his uncle's wallet, crawling around the room like a seal playing with a ball.

Leave Uncle's wallet alone, but occasionally, well, occasionally steal one of Auntie's underwear. It's not fun to tease Uncle all the time, Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.

As he sat up, he reached under the pillow and took out his phone to check the anonymous mailbox.

There was an unread message.

Zhang Yuanqing's face brightened. After returning home last night, he sent a message to "Human Blood Steamed Bun," hoping that the person would provide information on Hei Wuchang as soon as possible.

With a mixture of anticipation and uneasiness, he entered dreamland.

Although it was an evil profession, they were quite efficient. Well, maybe the inefficient subordinates of evil professions had been eliminated by their superiors, he thought to himself, opening the email.

The email was divided into two parts. The first half described Hei Wuchang's personality - cautious, shady, and tenacious, along with the sender's personal opinion of Hei Wuchang. This part was not long, as if the sender didn't want to mislead the reader.

The second half listed some things Hei Wuchang had done, his methods of dealing with situations, and even his sexual preferences.

It was said that when Hei Wuchang was having intimate relations with women, he liked to cover their bodies with various poisons, which brought him double pleasure.

But gradually, this kind of hobby couldn't satisfy him anymore. He turned the captured women into gu creatures, finding the long-lost pleasure that belonged to men on the bodies of these humanoid female gu creatures.After a long time, Hei Wuchang lost interest in normal women, and not even a beautiful woman could catch his eye.

So his outrageous hobby was learned from his boss? Zhang Yuanqing couldn't sleep, and after careful analysis, he deduced the word "pervert" from between the lines.

"Leave the professional matters to the professionals, let Fu Qingyang handle it."

He copied the information and forwarded it to Fu Qingyang through Yuanshi Tianzun's phone card.

As for the source of this information, he had already figured it out, and pushed it to Zhi Sha Palace.

The leader of Zhi Sha Palace and Yuanshi Tianzun were already connected. The secrets of the Xiahou Chi lineage were obtained from the palace leader. So, it was reasonable to assume that Yuanshi Tianzun had privately entrusted something to the palace leader.

As for how the palace leader obtained this information, that was something Yuanshi Tianzun didn't need to know.

In the luxurious study, Fu Qingyang put down the information on the desk and remained silent for a few seconds before dialing Teddy Elder's number.

"Beep beep~"

The call connected, and the speakerphone echoed with noisy barking, then disappeared, and Teddy Elder's calm and steady voice came through:

"Have you found Hei Wuchang?"

Fu Qingyang calmly replied:

"I have confirmed the meeting time between Hei Wuchang and An Ye Meigui, as well as the location of the transaction."

Teddy Elder chuckled:

"Good progress. If you can successfully resolve the Hei Wuchang incident, you will be credited as the top contributor, and those who oppose your entry into the Elder Council at headquarters will have to shut up."

After a pause, Teddy Elder continued:

"Let's get to the point."

Fu Qingyang reported yesterday's findings and said in a deep voice:

"I have retrieved the information about Hei Wuchang from the branch, but it's not enough, not private enough, not detailed enough. If we make a wrong judgment, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Hei Wuchang, who obtained the Holy Grail, was a great disaster.

And if An Ye Meigui controlled what the Demon Lord left behind, it would be even more troublesome.

Teddy Elder fell into silence, and after a long time, he said, "We can request assistance from headquarters, hopefully there's still time."

Fu Qingyang frowned, "That's the only option."

His phone vibrated, and a pop-up window at the top showed that Yuanshi Tianzun had sent a message.

Fu Qingyang opened it and his expression froze, revealing a hint of astonishment. "Elder, perhaps there's no need to request assistance from headquarters."

Teddy Elder asked, "Why?"

Fu Qingyang replied, "I received detailed information about Hei Wuchang, and compared to the information I've seen, this information is highly credible."

Teddy Elder sounded surprised, "Where did you get this information?"

If Fu Qingyang had this information, he wouldn't have said what he said before.

"It was reported by Yuanshi Tianzun," Fu Qingyang said lightly, "He had private contact with the leader of Zhi Sha Palace, so a long time ago, he entrusted the palace leader to pay attention to the movements of the Gu Wang faction."

Teddy Elder fell silent for a moment and smiled, "Very thoughtful, not conservative at all. This child has great potential. If he passes the physical examination when the Tiger Talisman comes down, he will be given special attention."

Fu Qingyang responded with a "Hmm" and said, "I'll take another look at Hei Wuchang's information and contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Qingyang focused his energy on the content.

Gradually, the image of Hei Wuchang became clearer in his mind:

"Cruel and vengeful, he seeks revenge for any slight. The fact that he saw sincerity in the 'death' of Yuanshi proves this. But at the same time, he is cautious and patient. Daring to meet with An Ye Meigui is not just because of Yuanshi's 'death', there must be another reason behind it.

"But I probably know where he will choose to meet..."

Late at night.

Under the soft yellow light, Zhang Yuanqing, with his hands in his pockets, had Wang Tai's face under his mask.

He strolled leisurely on the empty street and arrived at the café across from the Public Security Bureau in Kangyang District.

The surrounding shops were closed, and only this one was brightly lit. The door was open, but the shop was empty, with no customers. A red figure stood by the coffee machine at the counter.

She was wearing a retro Song Dynasty gorgeous long dress, with a deep red base color, and gold-threaded cloud and dragon patterns on the sleeves and chest.

She had an elegant figure, with flowing black hair. Even with a silver mask on, she still looked like a beautiful woman.

The leader of Zhi Sha Palace held a delicate teapot in her hand and was pouring hot water onto a filter paper.

"Why don't you use the coffee machine to brew? Is hand-dripped coffee better than the coffee machine?" Zhang Yuanqing smiled.

The leader of Zhi Sha Palace lowered her head and watched the dense steamy water column, softly saying:

"I like hand-dripped coffee, and I like using filter paper."

"I also like hand-dripped coffee, but I use tissue paper instead of filter paper..." Zhang Yuanqing kept his vulgar words to himself and didn't dare to say them to the crazy woman.

"Master, we have found out the time and location of the transaction between Hei Wuchang and An Ye Meigui." Zhang Yuanqing stood in front of the counter, examining the lively and beautiful eyes behind the mask, and said:

"As part of the transaction, I will give you the information, but you have to help me with two things."

"Speak!" The leader of Zhi Sha Palace suddenly said in a sinister tone, "I hope it's not too difficult, otherwise I will consider killing you and asking the spirits! Although I am not the Night Wanderer God, I have the tools to ask the spirits."

After saying that, she picked up a strand of hair and giggled, "Just kidding, don't be afraid. I wouldn't bear to kill you and ask the spirits. You're so outstanding, you're more suitable to be my faceless pawn."

Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice:

"The first thing is to help me steal the roster. The second thing is, if there is a conflict and Hei Wuchang dies, you must help me destroy his spirit body."
