No matter if it's the Dark Night Rose or the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, they are both extremely eye-catching "tags". As soon as the post was made, the reading count increased by hundreds per second, and the number of comments also soared. In less than ten minutes, there were already three to four hundred comments.
By the time it was 9:30, the morning rush hour had ended, and most people were either at work or waking up. The comments on the post had already reached 999+.
[The Lonely Sufferer: First in line! Why is it about the Primordial Heavenly Venerable again? I'm tired of reading about him. Just skimming through for now, I'll read it at work.]
[Little Pig George: There's been too much information about the Primordial Heavenly Venerable these days. It feels like he's always causing trouble and never resting.]
Since becoming an official practitioner, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has been involved in major events every now and then, and many people on the forum feel that he's causing too much trouble. Fortunately, with the recent trial of the evil profession, there have been daily incidents of hunting and counter-hunting all over the place, which has sparked high online discussions and somewhat diverted attention. During periods of relative calm, there will always be a bunch of people complaining: "There's too much going on, it's nauseating!"
The post was very long, detailing how, after the general inspection, the senior management of the Songhai branch planned to conduct a thorough investigation of the middle and lower levels to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. They appointed the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who was both innocent and capable, to conduct a secret investigation.
After the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's hard work and voluntary spirit of 007, a target was finally identified - the steward Chi Yue'an in the Shako District.
The investigation revealed that Chi Yue'an had long acted as a protective umbrella for the dark and evil forces, keeping women as slaves, engaging in prostitution, bribing Shako District dignitaries for profit, and being involved in unfair business competition. Each of these allegations was listed, including testimonies from female victims.
It was a hair-raising and heart-wrenching sight.
[The Future is Long: Is this something that a lawful practitioner can do? How did he climb to the position of steward? Don't the senior elders need to investigate? Oh, right, officials are also lawful, so they can do whatever they want. I have reason to suspect that the high-level organization may have been involved.]
[The Past is Bitter: Brother, be careful what you say. But, this Chi Yue'an is truly despicable. Execute him, execute him quickly. My blood pressure is rising. We have a general inspection every year, but there are still so many scumbags. Is the general inspection just for show? I have reason to suspect that the high-level organization may have been involved.]
#The Future is Long has been muted by the administrator for ten minutes#
#The Past is Bitter has been muted by the administrator for thirty minutes#
The two most outspoken speakers were each given a ten-minute and thirty-minute mute by the forum administrators.
[The Lonely Sufferer: The two brothers above are too extreme. Lawful practitioners are not saints, and people have evil thoughts. The difference is that some people don't have the opportunity. Scum is hard to eradicate, so we have a general inspection every year and have to eliminate bad influences every year. This persistence is the most important. Besides, Chi Yue'an is from the Dark Night Rose, so it's just that the Dark Night Rose is disgusting. From now on, I'll kill one whenever I see one. By the way, I take back what I said earlier. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable did a great job. More of this kind of thing is always good, and it never gets boring.]
[Little Pig George: The infiltration of the Dark Night Rose into our Five Elements Alliance is a bit scary, and he's a steward. I've read the post many times, and it's very exciting, but it's a shame that the details of the process weren't written out. Did you notice that Chi Yue'an was captured on the spot? That scum is a saint, so how did the Primordial Heavenly Venerable do it?]
[Jiang Yang: The post said that the investigation and evidence collection was a one-man job, but it didn't say that Chi Yue'an was captured single-handedly. Ah, if I had a teammate like that, I wouldn't be slacking off.]
[Tender Jenny: Wow, I have a new view of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. I used to think he was a genius and not bad-looking, but I didn't expect his character to be so outstanding. There can be many geniuses, but the people who uphold order are the most respectable. The senior management of the Songhai branch is still doing things right. It's very exciting.]
[Call Me Queen: I've finished reading it. It's hard to imagine that a steward could be so depraved. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable is truly the man I admire. He will definitely become a steward in the future. I want to be transferred to the Songhai branch.]
[Princess: Hmph, although the matter of Chi Yue'an is infuriating, the Songhai branch's attitude in eradicating the problem is commendable. It's better than our branch. Our branch is full of corrupt and greedy individuals. I suspect they are all members of the Dark Night Rose. I suggest that the headquarters transfer the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to come and investigate.]
The reputation of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable suddenly became golden, with praise all around. This was different from the applause for killing Li Xianzong and venting the organization's anger. The former's reputation was concentrated on concepts such as "powerful" and "genius," inspiring awe. On the other hand, eradicating problems and promoting good was a blessing for one's character and nature.
Although such a person would face severe backlash if they made a mistake, as long as they maintained their moral integrity, they would be a golden signboard. Over time, in addition to praising the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Songhai branch also received great acclaim.
Look at their attitude - they investigate harmful elements and capture bad people. This is the attitude that the senior management should have. As long as the roots are not rotten, the pests will eventually be brought to justice.
[Call Me Queen: I just went to gather some information. Do you guys know about the background of this Chi Yue'an in the Songhai branch? He used to be a son-in-law of the Zhu family, and later divorced, joining the Five Elements Alliance. It's said that he was very close to the Zhu family.]
[The Lonely Sufferer: Oh, a son-in-law of the Zhu family. No wonder he's so lawless. A steward without a background wouldn't dare to act like him.]
[Princess: Divorced? He was the son-in-law of the Zhu family?]
[Call Me Queen: The younger sister of the head of the Zhu family. Her reputation in the circle isn't very good, and it's said that she likes to keep male concubines. Her lifestyle is problematic, and she's also a pervert who enjoys torturing male concubines. I just found out that last year, she tortured a young male concubine in a very cruel manner. Do you think Chi Yue'an couldn't stand her anymore? Also, the post said that Chi Yue'an enjoys torturing women. I can't say any more. If anyone wants to know more, message me.]
In a dimly lit study, the pale yellow desk lamp shone on the computer screen. The Grand Protector, cloaked, sat at the table, reading an email.The email content was exactly the post about Chi Yue'an on the official forum of the Five Elements Alliance, and it also included an official response from the practitioners who cursed the Dark Night Rose. As he read on, the lips under the hood tightened, and his face twitched slightly.
"The elders of the Songhai branch are shameless and have gone too far. The Grand Guardian issued a repressed, low growl. They're just throwing dirt on the Dark Night Rose, taking advantage of the fact that the Dark Night Rose doesn't have control over public opinion.
The Grand Guardian let out a breath, thinking that it was perfect timing, as the official internal competition was approaching, and it was time to give them a surprise.
"Ring, ring," the phone broke the silence, and the Grand Guardian grabbed the communication device at hand and glanced at the caller before answering the phone.
"Grand Guardian, I heard about it. The Songhai branch has gone too far, and they have caused the Dark Night Rose to lose a saint. This debt must be repaid," came the angry voice of a subordinate on the phone. The Grand Guardian's mouth twitched fiercely.
The Dark Night Rose is a secret organization, and there is no contact between its members, only with direct superiors. Apart from the leader, only the three Grand Guardians can access the information of the middle and lower-level members. So even the members at the saint level do not know how many people are in the organization, where they are placed, and what positions they hold.
"But speaking of which, Chi Yue'an is really perverted, with so many ways to make money, but he chose the worst ones. How could our Dark Night Rose recruit such scum?"
The Grand Guardian took a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse, "Are you free? Has Fu Qingyang been killed? Has Li Dongze been killed?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, thinking that the pawn cultivated by the Grand Guardian had been removed, and his mood was not good.
The Grand Guardian didn't bother to say more, reprimanded the subordinate, and hung up the phone decisively.
Kangyang District, Suitong Road.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
A young man wearing a sports headband and work clothes was sweeping the dust and garbage on the street meticulously and conscientiously. The Demon Eye King has always been enthusiastic about cleaning up garbage, whether it's real garbage or human garbage. As long as it can keep the world clean, he will spare no effort to do it.
Of course, cleaning the city streets is a good deed in itself, which can increase moral values, although not much, and it takes time. But the Demon Eye King came to Songhai to do the impossible. He was looking for people all over Songhai, and it didn't conflict with sweeping the streets and looking for people at the same time.
Occasionally, he could help the elderly cross the road, and if he saw someone disrespecting the elderly, he could slap them a few times, or mark them for punishment. After accumulating enough moral values, he could take their heads. At this time, the phone in his pocket rang.
The Demon Eye King stood up straight, leaned on the broom, took out his phone, and answered the call.
"King, we have collected information about the Originator and the Stop-Killing Palace. According to a solitary repairer from the Lawful Camp, members of the Stop-Killing Palace have appeared in the underground black market in the Kangyang District recently, buying a lot of materials at once, and it seems that they are planning to leave Songhai."
"Oh? Are they retreating?" The Demon Eye King smiled and asked, "What about the Originator?"
"The information about the Originator is more complicated, and it's hard to explain orally. I've already sent it to your email." The Demon Eye King did not respond to his subordinate, but hung up the phone directly, opened his email, and downloaded the file attached to the email.
Dark Night Rose, Originator. The Demon Eye King glanced at the title and skipped to read the content.
The content of the file was the post on the official forum of the Five Elements Alliance, describing the crimes of Chi Yue'an, the steward of the Shako District.
At first, the Demon Eye King had no expression on his face, but as he read on and saw words like imprisonment, gang rape, bribery of the powerful, and selling eggs, his face became increasingly ugly, and the killing intent in his eyes almost overflowed. Under the headband on his forehead, the crazy eye was moving restlessly, as if it wanted to break through the seal and reveal the anger to the world, cleansing the evil.
The Demon Eye King pressed his forehead with one hand and continued to read. Soon, he saw a brief account of the Originator sneaking into the thieves' den alone to gather evidence, and the rough process of capturing the steward Chi Yue'an. As he read on, the vertical eye on his forehead gradually calmed down, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually subsided.
The Demon Eye King snorted, "Well done, he really is a saint."
This was consistent with the information he had collected about the Originator. This person had no bad record, and he was troubled recently because he had no reason to kill the Originator. "Perhaps I should bring him back to the Bishopric and cleanse the world, which should have fellow practitioners."
The Demon Eye King pondered for a moment and called his subordinate's phone.
"I need you to do three things. First, find out the background of the Originator for me. Second, collect information about the Dark Night Rose. If you find any members of the Dark Night Rose, kill them without mercy. Third, I want the information about the powerful figures involved in the Chi Yue'an case."
"Yes!"
Fujiawan, Bie Jian.
Zhang Yuanqing sat in the study, sipping fine tea and eating the summer dessert served by the Bunny Girl. Guan Ya was by his side, and Ling Gou and Li Dongze were opposite him.
Ling Gou clicked his tongue and said, "Fu Qingyang is really suited for the officialdom. He's despicable, very despicable. His actions remind me of a joke."
"What joke?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, spooning up some ice cream to go with his question.
"Oh, the flood joke, I forgot the details." Ling Gou smacked his lips a few times and said, "How should we deal with the bewitching demon? Does Fu Qingyang have a plan?"
"No, he wants to wait for me to approach him," Zhang Yuanqing said.
At this point, he received a notification from the Spirit Realm: [Moral Value +2000]
Sure enough, the moral value had increased, and it was a pleasant surprise to Zhang Yuanqing to receive two thousand points. His prediction was correct; doing good deeds was not just about donating money or doing public welfare, or simply helping old ladies cross the road. Punishing evil and promoting good was also a good deed. Now it seemed that for similar major cases, the matter must be concluded before the moral value could be settled in one go. The moral value would not be settled during the course of the case.
Hmm, would killing evildoers reward moral value, or would the case have to be classified and announced to reward moral value? If it was the former, then the estimation of the moral value of the Demon Eye King was incorrect.
"Hey, I actually received a reward of three hundred points of moral value. Not bad, the loss of the injured security officer has been compensated, and there is still more to be earned," Ling Gou also received a notification from the Spirit Realm and looked very happy.
Li Dongze was envious, "I only received 30 points of moral value, after all, I didn't do anything."
Guan Ya smiled and said, "Chief, I got 60 points."Old Master Ji took a sip of juice and turned to look at Zhang Yuanqing beside him: "Yuanqing, you must have received a considerable reward, right? How many moral points did the Spirit Realm grant you?" Across from them, Ling Hook and Li Dongze watched with faces full of curiosity.
