"The indecent video mentioned by this woman should be enough evidence. The next goal is simple: capture Wu Ye and find the video or that booklet. Speaking of which, Wu Ye is just an ordinary person. It's one thing to threaten officials with the video, but how dare he threaten the Spirit Realm practitioners?"
"It's also possible that he only secretly filmed ordinary dignitaries and didn't capture any Spirit Realm practitioners. That would be the evidence to accuse Chi Yue'an, and the woman in the building is the witness."
"This Wu Ye is truly lawless, treating people as slaves and livestock for profit, colluding with officials, and committing murder and arson."
Even with enough mental preparation, after listening to Cao Jing's words, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and murderous intent.
He only wanted to destroy the beasts in the building in a humane way.
He had already chosen his next target, the head of the security team, Lai Wan.
According to Cao Jing, Lai Wan was one of Wu Ye's confidants, responsible for the "security" of the Bronze Sparrow Tower. The women in the building were all afraid of Lai Wan because they had all been beaten by him at some point.
For those like Cao Jing who initially resisted fiercely, Wu Ye ordered Lai Wan to rape and train her. He was a despicable scoundrel who was not worth pitying.
"I have 138 points of morality and can kill eight people. I've been saving up my morality points for two months. If I don't use them now, when will I?"
Zhang Yuanqing floated out of the middle-aged man's body, wrapped in a willow blade, and left the room.
First floor, security room.
Lai Wan, the head of the security team, was comfortably leaning back in his office chair, with several boxes of preserved snacks in front of him and a case of canned beer at his feet.
Lai Wan had been following Wu Ye in the underworld since he was very young. He was skilled in fighting and was not afraid to wield a machete to attack people.
In the early years of this century, he fought for Wu Ye to seize territory and women, and he killed two people. Wu Ye paid a heavy price to settle the matter for him. Instead of blaming him, he appreciated Lai Wan even more.
After Wu Ye partially whitewashed his past, Lai Wan was arranged to be the head of the security team at the Bronze Sparrow Tower. Most of his old brothers were here.
Lai Wan was very satisfied with the current environment. He had a generous salary, an easy job, and spent his days reminiscing with his old brothers, boasting, playing with women, and living a carefree life.
Yes, except for a few top-notch women, Lai Wan could play with the other women in the Bronze Sparrow Tower as he pleased.
These women were the "slaves" raised by Wu Ye. When they first arrived, none of them were obedient. Wu Ye's methods of dealing with them were simple: beatings, rape, and torture for a period of time, and then they would become obedient. And the one responsible for doing all this was Lai Wan.
"Ugh." Lai Wan spat out a chicken wing bone and complained, "Wu Ye is getting older and more cowardly. He's making a fuss over nothing."
Lai Wan's mistress didn't have any guests tonight. They had agreed to spend the night together, but in the afternoon, Wu Ye suddenly summoned all the security personnel and demanded increased patrols.
The number of people on duty increased from the usual six to twelve, with two people in each group working in shifts 24 hours a day.
As the team leader, Lai Wan also had to work overtime.
At this moment, a burly man in a security uniform walked in.
Lai Wan turned to look at him, continued drinking, and said, "Old Yang, let me tell you something. Come and stand guard for me for half an hour, no, an hour. I'm going upstairs to have some fun with Qu Xiu."
He hadn't been with a woman for several days, and after drinking some alcohol, he couldn't suppress his urge.
Old Yang walked over and stood next to Lai Wan, looking down at him with a cold and indifferent gaze.
"Hmm?" Lai Wan swallowed the bitter taste of the alcohol and made a sound in his nostrils.
The next moment, he saw Old Yang draw a gleaming willow blade from behind and swipe it at his neck. The alcohol had numbed his nerves, and he reacted a beat too slowly. By the time he tensed his muscles to resist, large amounts of blood were spraying from his carotid artery.
Old Yang covered Lai Wan's mouth and stabbed him in the chest several times until he stopped resisting and his body went limp.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanqing received the prompt sound of deducting ten points of morality.
He wasn't surprised. The deduction of morality points for killing was mandatory and didn't distinguish between good and bad people.
But doing good deeds did indeed reward morality points. In theory, killing a villain like Lai Wan was equivalent to doing a good deed.
However, the reward of morality points did not come.
The Spirit Realm shouldn't have such a low-level bug. Well, if we look at it from a broader perspective, I did indeed do a good deed, but this good deed has just begun. I'll see if I receive a reward of morality points after completely resolving this case.
Zhang Yuanqing stopped thinking about it and awakened the remaining spiritual body inside the corpse, opened his mouth, and swallowed it.
Foreign memories poured into his mind, like a trickle merging into a vast ocean, causing only a slight ripple.
One scene after another appeared, some coherent, some jumping, flashing like a revolving lantern.
He saw Lai Wan trembling as he killed someone for the first time with a fruit knife; he saw Lai Wan entering a brothel and ending his virginity for fifty yuan; he saw Lai Wan wielding a short stick, repeatedly beating a woman until she screamed and shivered in pain; he saw him with three henchmen, pinning a crying woman to the bed, and several men venting their animal desires, shouting that if she didn't want to serve clients, they would play with her several times until she got used to it.
He saw Wu Ye, who was about 1.8 meters tall, had a goatee, and a mole on his right cheek, giving orders in a deep voice:
"Be on high alert these days. There might be trouble."
"Trouble? Who dares to cause trouble?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
The scene changed, and Zhang Yuanqing saw Wu Ye politely and humbly welcoming three distinguished guests into the casino.
The head of the security team accompanied them, and the conversation between the two sides:
"You've been causing trouble for us these days. The expenses you've incurred in the casino are all on Wu's account. The girls in the building can be chosen at will. If you like one, Wu will have her come over to accompany you.""Don't worry, if anyone dares to come, we'll take care of it for you. We're all working for Chi Ye, no need to be polite."
Zhang Yuanqing withdrew from the Spirit Realm, took a deep breath, suppressed the surging anger, and extracted a key piece of information from the last memory fragment:
All working for Chi Ye?
This statement seemed to have two meanings: they were sent by Chi Yue'an to protect the martial arts master, and the backing behind the martial arts master was Chi Yue'an.
"Chi Yue'an is the backer of the martial arts master, so the Bronze Sparrow Tower has been able to exist in the shadows of Songhai's order for so many years. Chi Yue'an uses the martial arts master to collect money and satisfy his own peculiar sexual preferences."
So, upon learning that Kou Yusi had escaped, it was Chi Yue'an who made a move.
The veins on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead once again protruded one by one.
Lawful professions do not represent kindness. He had long understood this truth, but still could not conceal the anger in his heart.
"Chi Yue'an is indeed vigilant, sending Spirit Realm Walkers to protect the martial arts master. Three Spirit Realm Walkers, unknown level, but should all be in the Transcendent Realm. It's unlikely that they would invite a Saint-level figure. Chi Yue'an has fought with Kou Beiyue and knows his level. Among these three people, there should be two at level three, or one at level three. Among the other two, one of them controls powerful items, only in this way can they deal with the attack of a level 3 bewitching demon."
With Kou Beiyue and my strength, it should be enough to deal with them, no need to ask Guan Ya and the others for support. However, for safety's sake, it's still necessary to notify them to come in case of accidents.
Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual body floated out of the security guard's body, allowing him to fall unconscious.
He floated out of the Bronze Sparrow Tower at a very fast speed and returned to where his physical body was located.
Under the greenery, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes.
Kou Beiyue, who was standing by to watch, immediately turned his head and asked eagerly when he saw him "wake up":
"What's the situation inside? Can we take action? Have you seen the martial arts master?"
"We can take action!" Zhang Yuanqing stood up and quietly put away Xiao Dou Bi, saying, "Now, let's act immediately."
Kou Beiyue licked his lips excitedly.
On the second floor of the small building, bright lights were shining in the hall.
This two-story building was a casino opened by the martial arts master. Except for the load-bearing pillars, all the walls were opened up to create a spacious space that could accommodate two hundred people.
The splendid hall was filled with various gambling machines, most of which were unseen by ordinary people, as well as some well-known ones, such as mahjong tables and card tables.
The guests were scattered around, playing gambling machines, pushing cards to play mahjong, or playing Texas Hold'em. The dealer was a seductive and charming woman.
Half-dressed women accompanied their respective guests, serving them drinks. They were all young, wearing heavy makeup, and either numbly or obsequiously catering to the guests.
But the guests did not respect them, calling them over and scolding them, and dragging their female companions to secluded corners to abuse them if they lost at cards.
At a gambling table by the window, the martial arts master, who was nearly six feet tall, took a drag on his cigarette, glanced at the cards in his hand, shook his head in disappointment, and threw the cards away.
Tonight, he had lost nearly a million, but it didn't matter. This card game was meant to give away money.
The martial arts master looked at the bald man on his left and said with a smile, "Boss Dao, your luck is really good today. It's a pity not to play all night."
Boss Dao's full name was Qiba Dao, about forty years old, bald, about five feet tall, wearing a white vest, and his sturdy muscles and short stature made him look like a block of iron.
This man was a gambler, greedy for money, and not interested in women, so he had a mountain of chips in front of him and had not lost since he sat down.
Rubbing his head that reflected the light, Boss Dao grinned and said, "Then you better not run away. Today, I'm going to win your pants."
The martial arts master touched the mole on his cheek and sighed, "Mistake, mistake. I shouldn't have gambled with you today."
He then turned to the young man with a horse-like face next to Boss Dao and teased, "Brother Qingsong, give the girl's mouth a rest. Her mouth is tired, and she's almost numb. How about I get you a new one?"
The young man with the horse-like face casually looked at the cards, and at the words, he immediately looked at the woman next to the martial arts master, his eyes lighting up.
"I want her."
In his early twenties, the girl who had just been tricked into the Bronze Sparrow Tower not long ago pursed her lips and sat still.
The martial arts master gave her a cold glance.
The young girl shivered all over, a flash of fear in her eyes. She stood up in a panic, walked to the side of the young man with the horse-like face, crouched down and slipped under the table, and on the other side of him, a woman covered her mouth and crawled out, staggering towards the restroom.
The young man with the horse-like face was called Qingsong, fond of women, and had an inexhaustible energy every day. One or two women could not satisfy him.
The martial arts master had given him a pass card that could open the door to any woman's room in the building.
The third man was a young man with dyed blonde hair, wearing a shiny leather jacket, with a handsome face and a hint of femininity added by the smoky makeup on his face. This stage costume made him look like a singer to those who didn't know him.
This man's name was Shenle, and he was involved in gambling and drugs. For him, the martial arts master only needed to give money, women, and a few packs of meat.
These three were bodyguards arranged by the backer Chi Yue'an, all possessing superpowers. The martial arts master didn't know who Chi Yue'an had offended, but since he had to send such people to protect himself, and three of them at that, it was enough to show the strength of the enemy.
Therefore, he had put down all his work since yesterday and had been hiding in the Bronze Sparrow Tower, waiting for news.
The martial arts master was not afraid of pressure from the authorities. The clients that the backer and the Bronze Sparrow Tower had pulled in were enough to handle any legal sanctions.
What he was afraid of was this kind of enemy with superpowers, especially when Chi Yue'an said that the enemy was Kou Yusi's brother.
Who was Kou Yusi? The martial arts master had long forgotten. He had to ask his confidant Lai Wan before he remembered that she was the woman who had been killed by Chi Yue'an two years ago.That woman really had it rough; as soon as she came in, she caught Chi Yue'an's eye. He tortured her day in and day out, and his own cruelty wasn't enough—sometimes he'd even call over a few security guards to join in.
Now her brother has come knocking.
Fortunately, the case from back then had long been closed, and all the evidence destroyed. It's unlikely they could trace it back here.
If they had the capability, they would have come already.

"Deal the cards!" Mr. Wu ordered the dealer, then turned to Qi Ba Dao with a smile:
"Brother Dao, I'm all yours for the night."
Just then, Mr. Wu saw a 40cm Yanagiba knife appear out of thin air behind Qi Ba Dao, its cold blade glinting as it swept towards the carotid artery.
Mr. Wu's pupils shrank, his expression suddenly frozen.
As the sharp blade was about to slice Qi Ba Dao's carotid artery, a young man with stage makeup and a soft demeanor took a deep breath, inhaling a large amount of oxygen, and the next second, a high-pitched, piercing dolphin sound burst from his throat.
The dolphin sound, imbued with a special rhythm, echoed in the resplendent hall, bringing a soul-shaking impact.
The gamblers in the hall, caught off guard, screamed in agony as they clutched their heads.
Mr. Wu's vision darkened, and a warm liquid flowed from his nose. He saw the Yanagiba knife lose its strength and gently fall to the ground, but then it was picked up by an invisible force and disappeared.
The young man with the soft demeanor paused his singing, his gaze sharply sweeping over the hall, and he whispered:
"He's gone."
"What, what happened?" Mr. Wu, struggling with a headache, asked in a deep voice.
Kagura said indifferently, "Mr. Wu, you better find a corner to hide in and call Chi Yue'an."
He then looked at Qing Song and Qi Ba Dao with a grave expression: "It's a Night Wanderer, a spirit that has left its body."
Musicians have a strong intuition and can sense the presence of spirits.
Level 3?!
Qing Song and Qi Ba Dao's eyebrows twitched, especially the latter, who felt a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
Qing Song suddenly stood up, zipped up his pants, and got into combat mode.
The enemy's spirit had failed in its stealth attack and temporarily retreated, but there would definitely be a next move.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the double doors of the casino were kicked open, and two men wearing duckbill caps and masks burst in. One of them held up a large-caliber handgun and fired several shots at the ceiling, shouting:
"Crackdown on pornography and illegal gambling, all unrelated personnel leave the casino."
