Fu Qingyang has been waiting for a reply, and the ringtone rang for a few seconds before the call was immediately connected. His first words were:

"How is it? Did Wuheng agree to help?"

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Xiao Yuan, who had entered the elevator, and only then said:

"I told Master Wuheng that the Songhai branch wanted to deal with the Demon Eye King. At first, he didn't agree. I said that the Demon Eye had gone too far and had almost killed me by finding my school. Unexpectedly, Master Wuheng immediately agreed, which surprised me."

Fu Qingyang was somewhat surprised and fell silent for a second before saying, "I didn't expect Wuheng to value you so much."

If it were a face-to-face situation, Fu Qingyang, as a senior scout, would have been able to tell that Yuanqing was lying. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Master Wuheng gave me a jade token that connects to him."

As he spoke, he lightly rubbed the black jade stone in his hand, smooth and cool.

This token was no different from the teleportation token from last time, which Xiao Yuan still had and had not used to this day.

However, the nature of the two tokens was different. Xiao Yuan's token was given by Master Wuheng with the promise of saving her life in a critical situation.

These high-level figures often stick to their word, so Zhang Yuanqing didn't try to be clever and used Xie Lingxi's token to "trick" Master Wuheng into coming out. The likely result would be that Master Wuheng would take him away and not interfere in the battle between the Demon Eye and the Five Elements Alliance. To get Master Wuheng to help create an illusion to confuse the Demon Eye King, he must have his personal promise. Fu Qingyang said, "Keep it safe and hand it over to me when you return to Songhai."

The two of them then ended the call. Voice conference room.

Curly Teddy drove the plants to extend their tendrils, turned on the computer, logged into the software, and waited quietly for the four elders to come online one after another.

"How is it? Did Yuanqing ask Wuheng to help?" asked the leader of the Red Fire Gang as soon as his avatar appeared. The other three elders remained silent, waiting for a response.

Elder Dog said calmly, "Wuheng agreed to create an illusion, but only this."

The four elders were relieved, and the elder of the White Tiger Army laughed, "That's enough. I wouldn't feel at ease if he were to join the battle. Next, we'll see if the Master of the Stop Killing Palace can lead the Demon Eye to the agreed location."

Elder Luoshen said, "This step is crucial. I hope that woman doesn't make a mistake." Elder Zhongting then asked, "What are Wuheng's conditions?" Elder Dog replied, "There are no conditions."

Elder Zhongting became alert, "None?" The Elder Luoshen of the Water God Palace spoke up, "Based on Wuheng's style of 'Erasing the Past,' he can't just act without conditions."

They had chosen Yuanqing to negotiate because he was close to the small team, and only he could negotiate with the elusive figure. Yuanqing had a lot of face, which was the point.

But they hadn't expected Wuheng to help for free.

Elder Dog said, "Fu Qingyang did say that. I just wanted to discuss this with you. According to Fu Qingyang, 'Erasing the Past' heard that Yuanqing almost died at the hands of the Demon Eye King and immediately agreed. How do you all see this?"

Elder Luoshen said in surprise, "As a master of an evil profession, he shouldn't, and there's no reason to value Yuanqing so much." The Elder of the White Tiger Army became somewhat wary, "He values Yuanqing so much, does he want to turn our people against us?"

This elder was the first to consider the possibility of being undermined. Elder Dog expressed his opinion, "I personally think there's not so much going on. Yuanqing is very good at socializing, not just with Wuheng, but also with the Master of the Stop Killing Palace."

"In the incident at the Bronze Sparrow Tower, Wuheng owed Yuanqing a favor, and most likely, he's repaying it. However, it's clear that he has great goodwill and value for Yuanqing."

At this, the Elder of the White Tiger Army felt much more at ease and said with a smile, "This kid is really good at networking." Elder Dog sneered, "There aren't many geniuses who can bow down so easily."

The atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed.

Wuheng Hotel, front desk.

Zhang Yuanqing lounged in the front desk's resting chair, which Xiao Yuan had been using for a long time, leaving behind a strong fragrance.

He picked up the juice on the table and took a sip, looking at the smooth lines of the back and the amazing curve of the hips. She was wearing loose-fitting pants, but they still looked full, showing her extraordinary talent.

"Aunt Xiao Yuan, the hotel doesn't seem to be doing well."

In the hour he had been resting, the hotel had only received two guests.

"The flow of people in the suburbs is not large, so business is naturally slow. Also, if you keep staring at my butt, I'll gouge out your eyeballs." Xiao Yuan didn't turn around, but her voice was cold and threatening. "Aunt Xiao Yuan, you're misunderstanding me. I just suddenly realized that my distorted fetish seems to have improved greatly."

Zhang Yuanqing stared at Xiao Yuan's perky buttocks, not because he was lecherous, but to verify whether his fetish had improved.

It's really good, there are very few pig tails floating in my mind now... Zhang Yuanqing thought with relief.

He had experimented on both Xiao Yuan and Guan Ya to verify a characteristic of the scarecrow, which was that under the premise of shallow influence, if he abandoned the item early and gave up the distorted XP, it could be alleviated.

He had already experimented on this with both Xiao Yuan and Guan Ya.

Xiao Yuan sneered, "Even without that scarecrow, your fetish wouldn't be much more normal." "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Yuan said lightly, "It seems like you have a special fondness for older women. Is it because you lacked a mother's love when you were young?" "That's too much. In one sentence, you've criticized my hobby and exposed my scar."

If it were a thin-skinned young man, he would definitely be blushing with embarrassment, but Zhang Yuanqing was a social bull, professionally trained, and would never be embarrassed or awkward.

He took a sip of the sweet juice and said:"I know the saying that a person's view on marriage and sexual orientation actually starts to develop in childhood, and solidifies during adolescence. So most perverts have an unfortunate childhood, which is really sad.

Therefore, we need to give children a happy childhood. Of course, I'm definitely not a pervert, but I do like mature women. Because when I was young, my father passed away, so I became very dependent on my mother. But my mother turned around and dumped me at my maternal grandparents' house.

I grew up lacking a mother's love, and I always wanted whatever I was missing. That's probably the reason."

Xiao Yuan just made a sarcastic remark, not expecting him to start discussing it. She didn't know how to respond, so she just ignored him. Zhang Yuanqing kept talking incessantly:

"Aunt Xiao Yuan, do you have a boyfriend? Are you married? Do you have children?"

Aunt Xiao Yuan fell silent for a moment, "So, are you trying to pursue me, pursue someone in an evil profession?"

"I don't like hearing that. You should know very well about my attitude towards evil professions. When you say things like that, it makes me feel like you don't trust me at all."

"Sorry, I misspoke. So, do you really want to pursue me?"

"Aunt Xiao Yuan is beautiful, with a great figure. The only downside is her age, but in my eyes, that's a plus."

"So what?" Xiao Yuan took out a paper knife from the pen holder.

"Just, just chatting casually." Zhang Yuanqing was flexible.

At that moment, a deliveryman in a blue uniform appeared.

The delivery guy walked into the lobby in a huff, shouting, "Xiao Yuan, I don't want to be a deliveryman anymore... Zhang Yuanqing, what the hell are you doing here?" The delivery guy's face was slightly pale, with bright eyes and a handsome, non-effeminate appearance, like a fierce little wolf.

"Why are you delivering food?" Zhang Yuanqing asked in surprise.

"Dumb, no education, no work experience. What else can I do besides delivering food?" Xiao Yuan said indifferently. She then looked at Kou Beiyue and said coldly, "It's your choice, but don't expect to get paid."

Kou Beiyue said with a hint of grievance, "I'm not avoiding work, but being a deliveryman is really not working out. I just met an aunt earlier who dragged me into her house, saying she wanted to be friends with me and would give me twenty thousand yuan every month. She even touched me. I have so many orders, I don't have time to listen to her nonsense, so I ran away. She gave me a bad review as soon as I left. This job is impossible!"

"This kid is still too young. In a few years, you'll know the benefits of rich women..." Zhang Yuanqing listened, stunned.

Xiao Yuan then glanced at him, as if to say, "This is the right view on marriage."

Kou Beiyue took off his helmet and placed it on the counter, then walked straight to the refrigerator, hesitating between a drink and a bottle of mineral water. Finally, he chose the 1.5 yuan bottle of mineral water and gulped it down. He let out a satisfied burp and then asked, "What are you doing here, you bastard?"

"I'm here to hit on your mom..." Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the bottle of mineral water in his hand and said, "If you need money and don't want to be a deliveryman, you might as well flex your moral boundaries a bit: find some shady groups nearby and 'borrow' some money from them. After all, that money is probably dirty money."

Kou Beiyue sneered, "What a lousy idea! Stealing and robbing both come with a loss of moral values." Zhang Yuanqing asked, "How much moral value did you get from the Copper Sparrow Tower case?" "1300."

"Do you usually do bad things?" "You're insulting me."

"Exactly, since you don't do bad things, what do you need so much moral value for? Just let it go to waste? Stealing and theft only deduct 5 points of moral value, and as long as the amount stolen is within ten thousand yuan, that's how it is. Even if you only spend a third of your moral value, it's enough to improve your life."

Kou Beiyue was taken aback and found some truth in it.

"You can use the money you get for charity, and then you'll get some moral value back. Although it definitely won't be as much as you lose from stealing, at least it's a way to gain moral value. With 1300 points of moral value, you can at least not worry about living expenses for a year." Kou Beiyue fell into deep thought.

Xiao Yuan looked at Zhang Yuanqing with a strange expression and said, "You shouldn't use your cleverness in this way. You should use it for good." "Just chatting casually." Zhang Yuanqing finished his drink and said, "I should go. Wait a minute." Xiao Yuan said, "Kou Beiyue's case has been closed. Even if the authorities settle accounts with those in power, they won't admit that her sister was killed by the authorities, and they won't admit that the captain of the Public Security Brigade falsified evidence. Without reopening the case, she'll never be able to see her parents. Can you help?" Kou Beiyue looked nervous.

Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "Forget about getting it in the news, but we can reopen the case and have the authorities notify her family. If you agree, I can try to handle it." Kou Beiyue hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough..."

That's enough... Zhang Yuanqing saw the helplessness and humility of the common people in him, and his bright mood suddenly turned sour. He didn't say anything and silently left the hotel. Songhai.

Jumping aimlessly from one residential building to another, the Magic Eye King, who was searching, received a call from his subordinate.

"King, the target has moved. She just drove away from Songhai and is currently on the highway. Our people are tracking her."

The Magic Eye King responded with a simple "Okay" and continued his aimless search. After about half an hour, the phone rang again. The urgent voice of his subordinate came through, "King, we've lost our people... We suddenly lost contact and don't know if they're alive or dead."

The Magic Eye King tied a headband around his head and said, "They're already dead. I know where the target is, and I'll take care of the rest myself." He had planted a tracker on the member responsible for tracking, and when the tracker disappeared just now, it meant that the tracker had died. But the tracker he had planted on the target hadn't disappeared, which meant that the members of the Killing Palace had found the tracker and eliminated the tail, but hadn't found the tracker on the target. The person who acted wasn't the master of the Killing Palace.If the one who made a move was the Master of the Killing Palace, he would have to be wary of why that woman took such an interest in an ordinary member.

And if the tracker remained undetected and successfully located the stronghold of the Killing Palace members, he would also need to be cautious about why the Master of the Killing Palace was so careless.

The Demon Eye King sprang from his knees, shooting into the sky like an arrow.

2 In the dead of night, a village town more than sixty kilometers away from Songhai.

Outside the town, Curly-haired Teddy looked towards the Killing Palace Official in ancient red attire and said:

"I have summoned it here. There are a few rules you should pay attention to. First, do not utter the word 'animal.' Second, if you see a rabbit coming, do not pay it any attention. Third, if a staff member comes to ask questions, pay attention to their uniform.

"Do not respond to staff members in black uniforms, absolutely do not respond. To staff members in blue uniforms, you should say: 'I am fine, I do not need help.'" Elder Dog said, "These are the outer rules, remember not to venture deep into the zoo." The Master of the Killing Palace, with a twinkle in her eye, asked with interest, "What happens if I go deeper?"

Elder Dog chuckled:

"The zoo has three layers. The outermost corresponds to Level 7 Dominators, the second layer to Level 8, which is the area I can control, and the core area corresponds to Level 9, which even I dare not enter.

"If you want to return to the Spirit Realm, feel free to go deeper." Returning to the Spirit Realm meant certain death.

At that moment, a vast shadow loomed over, blocking the moonlight above.

The shadow descended slowly, landing from above the small town, not falling within the town but physically squeezing it aside.

The original location of the town was replaced by the shadow, and the town itself was pushed to a very distant place. After the shadow settled, its true form slowly emerged.

Facing Elder Dog and the Master of the Killing Palace was the entrance to the zoo, with long electric gates tightly closed, and a giant rock beside the gate engraved with the words "Zoo." Inside the electric gate was lush vegetation.

The Master of the Killing Palace looked towards the depths of the zoo and said with a smile:

"Is Xiahou Chi inside? Where is he detained? Can I conveniently slaughter him after I go in?" Elder Dog said sternly:

"How to deal with him is a matter for the Five Elements Alliance, do not complicate matters." The Master of the Killing Palace giggled:

"What if I insist on killing him? If you disagree, I will refuse to cooperate."

Elder Dog's button-like eyes twinkled with a dangerous light: "I do not accept threats." The Master of the Killing Palace laughed even more joyously, covering her mouth, posing like a little girl:

"You're such a boring dog, with no sense of humor. Have you been a dog for so long that you've forgotten how to joke? Hey, I remember Teddy's ** is very strong, and you're a Wood Sprite by profession, do you ever think about breeding?

"If you do, do you prefer female dogs, or normal women?"

Elder Dog was still not familiar enough with the character of this mad Palace Master to take it in stride. His curly fur trembled, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to subdue her.

At this time, the Elder of the White Tiger Soldiers hidden nearby said in a deep voice: "He's here! I've sensed him."

In terms of scouting, Elder-level scouts had an absolute advantage and authority, and even the most sensitive ancient war gods could not detect their probing. Elder Dog immediately opened his mouth and spat out a smooth black jade stone. He tossed the stone on the ground, raised his paw, and with a snap, shattered it.

A gray-white halo spread out, like a tide extending in all directions, and within moments, all living beings were enveloped.

A suppressed, pained voice echoed:

"State your demands."

Elder Dog said solemnly: "Please transform my zoo into a part of that small town in the distance, forming a whole."

As the words fell, the Master of the Killing Palace was surprised to find that the zoo behind her had turned into a series of red brick houses of varying heights.

Some of these houses were lit, some dark, with concrete roads winding and intersecting between the buildings, merging with the distant town as if they were one.

"Interesting!" she exclaimed: "I can't tell at all that this is fake." As she spoke, the grayness receded, and the world returned to its original colors.

Elder Dog no longer hesitated and said:

"Go in!"

The Master of the Killing Palace no longer hesitated and slipped into the town. Elder Dog retreated into the distance.

About ten minutes later, a car drove along the straight tarred road, entering the town without stopping. After a long while, a figure descended from the sky, landing outside the town.

This figure was dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, and a sports headband on his forehead, looking sunny and handsome—it was the Demon Eye King.

He took off his headband, revealing his vertical eye, emitting a crimson beam.

This beam swept through the town for a long time, then turned towards the wilderness outside the town. There were no other presences nearby, only the Master of the Killing Palace in the town.

The Demon Eye King's mouth curled up: "Found you!"

With a tap of his toe, he shot into the town like a cannonball.
