Chapter 56 The Curse of the Demonic Eye
He frowned almost imperceptibly, a gentle smile quickly appearing on his face as he went to greet him.
"As a team leader, how could you just leave like that without explaining what you were going to do? But the matter is already over..." Wei Yuanzhou stopped halfway, suddenly stopping because he saw Yuan Shi Tianzun pull a handful of sharp willow blades from his inventory.
Coupled with his expression, Wei Yuanzhou felt a chill in his heart.
Zhang Yuanqing walked straight to Wei Yuanzhou's side and stared at him coldly, "Wei Yuanzhou, I now suspect you of colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues and then murdering them to silence them. Come back to Songhai with me."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy office area suddenly fell silent.
A series of astonished gazes looked over.
*How does he know? How could he possibly know? Didn't Grandpa carry it all?* Wei Yuanzhou almost couldn't control his expression, his heart pounding a few times, but a dazed and puzzled look appeared on his face:
"What are you saying? I don't understand what you mean."
Guan Ya, who was beside Zhang Yuanqing, sneered, "As expected, there's something fishy. I can't see any problem with him. He must be hiding some kind of item that conceals his emotions."
She and the Queen and others had already learned about the incident from Yuan Shi.
Instigating evil professions to assassinate colleagues and murdering the blood relatives who raised him was appalling.
In fact, there had been a minor dispute within the patrol team on how to handle this matter. Li Chunfeng suggested following procedures and reporting the matter to headquarters.
The Queen believed that there was a lack of substantial evidence to make headquarters take it seriously and that the matter should be reported to Elder Fu Qingyang for him to decide.
But Guan Ya rejected the Queen's suggestion. She knew her cousin well. Fu Qingyang was a very rational person, a born politician. A politician's wisdom is compromise, not making mistakes, and using the rules.
Wei Yuanzhou was from the Jinghai branch, under the jurisdiction of the Xie City branch, and had nothing to do with the Songhai branch.
Neither the Songhai branch nor Fu Qingyang had law enforcement authority in Jinghai City.
Forcibly intervening would be taboo and would result in demerits. Within the Five Elements Alliance, demerits were a terrible thing that directly affected one's career.
If an elder received demerits, they would likely only be able to stay in a local position forever, never being able to go to headquarters.
Therefore, Guan Ya's suggestion was to act first and report later, forcibly controlling Wei Yuanzhou before interrogating him slowly.
As a Saint, Wei Yuanzhou was not a fish on a chopping board. Once he saw things were not going well, he might escape.
And Jinghai was where several large rivers entered the sea, with countless tributaries in the city. Once a Plague God jumped into the river, even a god would have difficulty finding him.
From beginning to end, Zhang Yuanqing did not participate in the discussion, listening expressionlessly, only saying after Guan Ya overrode everyone's objections: "Let's go."
Wei Yuanzhou said in a voice that everyone could hear, with an innocent look, "Nonsense! What exactly are you talking about? You will be held responsible for what you say."
Yuan Qing looked at him coldly and said, "I only ask you one question: are you the person in charge of the incident? Was it you who proposed that the Jinghai branch ask Songhai for assistance? Your purpose was to kill him, right? You wanted to get rid of him for a long time because his existence made you panic and uneasy."
He had figured out this question on the way here. Uncle Zhang was willing to sacrifice his life for his grandson's future, but little did he know that his precious grandson had never intended to let him live.
Hearing this, Wei Yuanzhou no longer held any hope.
He confirmed that Yuan Shi Tianzun knew everything. What his grandfather said this morning was a lie. His grandfather did not bear the sin; otherwise, how would Yuan Shi Tianzun know?
In an instant, he felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell. The opportunity for promotion had just appeared but was destined to be an illusion.
No, not only was the opportunity for promotion gone, but his career was also over.
His relationship with his grandfather couldn't be concealed, and Yuan Shi Tianzun had made an accusation. Even if he had no evidence, the higher-ups would definitely investigate such an incident.
Ordinary lie detector items were useless to him, but elder-level items or the legendary Tiger Tally could easily detect the truth.
Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues was a capital crime!
*That old thing harmed me even after death!* A strong sense of anger and unwillingness rose in Wei Yuanzhou's heart, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, his mind racing.
*I can't stay in the official system. If I stay and accept punishment, I will definitely die. Becoming a bandit and becoming a rogue cultivator is my only choice. Although my quality of life is destined to decline, and I will lose power, it's better than losing my life.* Wei Yuanzhou took a deep breath and focused his attention on the immediate predicament, his expression slightly angry, raising his voice and saying, "Yuan Shi Tianzun, where did I do wrong in yesterday's operation that offended you? I apologize to you. Please be magnanimous and don't be so petty with me. I won't monopolize the credit for killing the Spirit Controller; I will share half of it with you."
His words were malicious, implying that Yuan Shi Tianzun was dissatisfied with him taking the credit and was retaliating.
The expressions of the official Night Watchers in the Jinghai branch in the office area changed.
A female staff member quietly got up and ran towards the interior of the office area. After a while, a short but sturdy Mountain Moving Enforcer led the female employee out.
He glanced at the group from the Songhai branch, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Wei Yuanzhou, saying in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Wei Yuanzhou showed a bitter smile, "Leader, I don't know either. Yuan Shi Tianzun rushed in aggressively and wrongly accused me of colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues, and even said he wanted to take me back to Songhai for investigation. I just don't understand. Even if I did these things, it shouldn't be handled by the Songhai branch."
The Mountain Moving Enforcer's expression darkened upon hearing this.
Not far away, an official Night Watcher said, "Exactly! Captain Wei is the captain of our Jinghai branch. It's not up to the Songhai branch to intervene."
"Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues is too outrageous. Who doesn't know Captain Wei's character? I've seen what forced smear campaigns are."
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, even if you're a celebrity, you can't slander people like this. You have to produce evidence. I used to like you so much."
The surrounding official Night Watchers spoke one after another.
"What are you arguing about? If you argue again, this grandma will burn you to death!" Jiang Jingwei roared at the crowd like a little leopard.
The noise then subsided.
The Mountain Moving Enforcer stared at Yuan Shi Tianzun and frowned, "What exactly is going on?"
Zhang Yuanqing returned his gaze, raised his finger, and pointed at Wei Yuanzhou. "The Spirit Controller who died in the hospital this morning was surnamed Wei and was Wei Yuanzhou's grandfather. He was the murderer in the Qinghe County massacre and also a wanted criminal. Half a month ago, the grandfather and grandson reunited. Wei Yuanzhou forced him to assassinate Bai Hu Wansui to clear obstacles on the road to promotion. Then he murdered him to silence him and personally turned his grandfather into a stepping stone for promotion to Enforcer. The body is in the morgue. Do a DNA test or find the wanted warrant from that year, and everything will be clear."
The faces of many veteran Night Watchers, including the Mountain Moving Enforcer, changed slightly, and they looked at Wei Yuanzhou with a subtle gaze.
Only the veteran employees knew about Wei Yuanzhou's family background. Most of the new employees were not very clear.
After all, Wei Yuanzhou was already a captain-level figure, a middle and lower-level leader, and a level 4 Saint, a quasi-Enforcer. No one dared to gossip behind his back anymore.
And how did Yuan Shi Tianzun, an outsider, know?
The Mountain Moving Enforcer said in a deep voice, "Captain Wei, you have the opportunity to defend yourself."
*All my meetings with the old man were private, and I used anonymous phone cards to contact him. I never sent messages. The old man is already dead, and his spirit has dissipated. Yuan Shi Tianzun can't possibly have any ironclad evidence.*
*As long as I deny it, he won't be able to control me by any means. The Mountain Moving Enforcer will definitely propose a DNA test. That's my chance to escape. I can take advantage of the Mountain Moving Enforcer's stubborn and pedantic character...*
Wei Yuanzhou said with an angry expression, "Leader, Yuan Shi Tianzun is slandering me. You know my character best. I have already been promoted to Saint. Enforcer is only a matter of time for me. You know this, Leader. Why would I collude with evil professions to harm Bai Hu Wansui?"
"Leader, I am willing to accept investigation and cooperate with the investigation, but this is a matter for our Jinghai branch. When did it become Yuan Shi Tianzun's place to overstep his authority?"
The Mountain Moving Enforcer nodded slightly as he listened. "Yuan Shi Tianzun, besides a DNA test, what other evidence do you have to prove that Captain Wei colluded with evil professions?"
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
He had already seen Uncle Zhang's body, and the residual spirit had been cleaned away.
Moreover, Night Wanderer's spirit interrogation has always been "for reference only" within the official system, except that most of the time, spirit interrogation is used to read the memories of evil professions or victims, and there is no need to lie.
But when it comes to internal disputes, spirit interrogation cannot be used as evidence.
As for the existence of Master Wuzhen and Xiao Yuan, it cannot be said, and even if it is said, it cannot be used as a witness, and it is easy to be turned against.
The Mountain Moving Enforcer looked at him deeply, his tone turning cold. "I understand your accusation. I will accept this matter. It has nothing to do with your Songhai branch. You can go back first."
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Okay! But I have a request. Control Wei Yuanzhou first."
The Mountain Moving Enforcer's face darkened. "Yuan Shi Tianzun, Captain, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
Without evidence, he had no reason to arrest Wei Yuanzhou.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing slowly exhaled. "Songhai Branch Patrol Team, Yuan Shi Tianzun is arresting a wanted criminal. Everyone, leave immediately. Those who linger will be treated as accomplices. Jingwei, clear the area!"
"Okay!" Jiang Jingwei was overjoyed and turned to spray a tongue of fire at the surrounding official Night Watchers and clerical staff.
Startled, they retreated one after another. The tongue of fire ignited the documents and flammable items on the desks. She shook her head again, and the tongue of fire swept across the office, instantly turning it into a sea of flames.
The employees in the office area retreated in shock. The clerical staff and Night Watchers below level 3 fled the office area with their heads in their hands.
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you know what you are doing!"
The Mountain Moving Enforcer was shocked and angry at the scene.
"Acting on behalf of Heaven!" As Zhang Yuanqing spoke, Guan Ya, carrying the Han Octagonal Ancient Sword, dashed out like a lithe female leopard, pouncing on Wei Yuanzhou.
On the other side, Jiang Jingwei, like a leaking gas pipe, spewed out urgent and blazing flames from her body. Pieces of lava-like iron armor floated around her, attaching to her petite body, forming a black and red lava armor.
"Boom!"
Her footsteps spewed out thick contrails, propelling her towards the Mountain Moving Enforcer, sending both of them flying.
"Damn it!" Wei Yuanzhou's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Yuan Shi Tianzun to act so quickly, catching him off guard.
He knew that Swordsmen were strong in close combat. Seeing Guan Ya rushing towards him with her sword, he quickly retreated.
A ghostly shadow wearing a wedding dress and holding a cute baby appeared behind him, crashing into his body.
Wei Yuanzhou froze in place.
Guan Ya's forehead burned, her throat itched, and strange blisters grew on her delicate skin.
"Cough..."
She coughed violently, barely able to stand while leaning on her sword, like a terminally ill person on the verge of death.
The Queen and Xie Lingxi in the distance also experienced varying degrees of coughing and fever, their heads feeling dizzy.
The Plague God's germ abilities are one of the best weakening skills among all professions.
*Thump!*
Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the Mountain God Scepter and slammed it into the ground. The emerald gemstone at the top bloomed with a gentle light.
The symptoms on Guan Ya's body quickly disappeared, and her illness was cured.
The Plague God's germ skills, on which he relied for combat, were perfectly countered by the Mountain God Scepter's self-healing ability.
At this time, Wei Yuanzhou, having gained a moment to breathe, just expelled the Ghost Bride who was possessing his back with his own mental power, when he saw the female Swordsman rushing in front of him and thrusting her sword.
Wei Yuanzhou hurriedly dodged, but the female Swordsman rotated her feet, driving her waist to spin, and then used her waist to drive her arm, making a sweeping motion.
*Pfft!*
The bronze sword struck Wei Yuanzhou's right arm, bursting out clear water.
Water Ghost passive activated.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing, already dressed in Yin-Yang robes, pinched out a fireball and threw it out.
With a *boom*, the fireball erupted, and the arm that had turned into clear water had not even had time to condense and return before it was evaporated.
"Ah!" Wei Yuanzhou screamed, blood spurting from his severed arm.
Guan Ya didn't give him a chance to breathe, quickly walking around and slashing his tendons and ligaments.
*Thump!* Wei Yuanzhou staggered and fell to the ground, his hands and feet in strange positions, covered in blood.
Zhang Yuanqing, holding the scepter in one hand and the Bloodthirsty Blade in the other, came to Wei Yuanzhou and looked down at him condescendingly.
Wei Yuanzhou raised his head, his face twisted, whether from pain or anger, and roared, "Yuan Shi Tianzun, how... how dare you! Who gave you the right to enforce the law? Are you crazy!"
Zhang Yuanqing looked down coldly and said, "This is the real you, ugly and twisted. Your acting is very good. From beginning to end, I didn't see that you were a beast in human form. You can kill even the blood relatives who raised you. What else can't you do?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. You will be punished. Headquarters won't spare you," Wei Yuanzhou shouted hoarsely.
He still didn't admit it!
"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Zhang Yuanqing grinned. "Then I'll say something you do know. You were born in Qinghe County, Yu Province. Your ancestors were farmers for three generations. Your parents died in a car accident when you were young."
"The person who killed them evaded punishment with a mental illness assessment report. After your family pulled strings, he was completely fine. Your family didn't even receive a penny of compensation."
"Your grandfather wanted to go to the capital to file a complaint but was almost beaten to death by them. They even used you to threaten him. He could only swallow his blood and tears and raise you."
"The following year, your grandmother committed suicide by drowning. The burden of life fell entirely on your grandfather. He worked hard to raise you. To support your studies, he had to work short-term jobs on construction sites, from morning to night all year round. Life crushed him. But what about you? How did you repay him?"
Guan Ya, the Queen, and Xie Lingxi looked at Wei Yuanzhou coldly.
Jiang Jingwei and the Mountain Moving Enforcer, who were fighting in the distance, also stopped. The Mountain Moving Enforcer listened in shock, suddenly losing his fighting spirit.
The official Night Watchers and clerical staff who had fled at the door of the office area peeked in, looking around.
"You're lying! You're slandering me! You're slandering me!" Wei Yuanzhou roared.
Being reminded of the past in front of everyone by Yuan Shi Tianzun was like uncovering an old scar in his heart. His expression was somewhat ferocious, and his emotions were extremely agitated.
But he still didn't admit it.
Zhang Yuanqing continued, "You forced him to assassinate Bai Hu Wansui. Do you know what kind of life he has been living all these years? He has been hiding and wandering around, with no dignity at all. He swore never to kill again. He also wanted to live like a human being."
"Is it that, in your eyes, the sacrifices of elders are taken for granted? He should give everything for you. If you want to be promoted, if you want to rise to the top, he has to die to fulfill you. Is all of this justified?"
"He was still willing to die for you, but what about you? You're so clever. You had already decided to kill him and silence him completely after Bai Hu Wansui died, and by the way, earn some credit."
"What reason do I have to slander you? You're like this, and you still think you can escape?"
The Mountain Moving Enforcer was stunned, staring at Wei Yuanzhou with disbelief, seemingly unable to believe his ears.
The official members at the door listened in stunned silence.
Wei Yuanzhou raised his head, saw his colleagues in the distance, saw the faces of shock, astonishment, contempt, and disgust, very much like those teachers and classmates back then.
His emotions suddenly collapsed. "What do you understand? What do you understand!" His expression was ferocious, like a trapped beast with no way out. Yuan Shi Tianzun's words uncovered his scars, uncovered the first half of his life that he had tightly covered. Wei Yuanzhou shouted emotionally, "He wants to be a human being, don't I want to be one too? I've never been a human being since I was a child. I've been trampled in the dust. You geniuses who are high above, what do you understand? You don't understand anything! You pity him, but who will pity me?"
"I also want to live like a human being. I also want to live with dignity. He abandoned me first. Why should he disturb my life again? He ruined my previous life and still wants to ruin my next life. He deserves to die!"
Wei Yuanzhou's roar echoed in the office area. Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "No, these are all lies. You're slandering me! You're slandering me! Headquarters will clear my name."
Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice, "You may have had a miserable life. You may feel that the whole world owes you, but from beginning to end, he didn't owe you anything."
"The person who owes him is you!"
Wei Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Yuanqing bent down and pressed the blade against Wei Yuanzhou's neck.
"What... what are you going to do?" Wei Yuanzhou felt the chill emanating from the blade and realized Yuan Shi Tianzun's intent to kill.
His expression suddenly turned terrified, and he shouted, "No, you can't kill me! Headquarters won't let you go! Grandpa... Grandpa wouldn't want to see me die either. Yuan Shi Tianzun, you know Grandpa, right? I'm his only relative. You can't kill me. You can't..."
A cold light flashed, and clear water burst out from Wei Yuanzhou's neck.
Flames erupted from Zhang Yuanqing's palm, sizzling as the water evaporated, and the head rolled to the ground.
The head's eyes were wide with anger, and its lips moved slightly, vaguely saying:
——Grandpa!
Xiao Yuan stood on the edge of the rooftop of a building opposite the River Gate District Public Security Bureau, her line of sight directly facing the highest floor of the Public Security Bureau.
The wind lifted her hair and the corners of her clothes, covering her face. She lowered her head, hiding her eyes and expression in her messy, flying hair.
"Yuan Shi..."
A murmur drifted away in the wind.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, a post exploded on the official forum, quickly reaching the front page and becoming the hottest topic of the day. It was then marked in red and pinned to the top.
#Yuan Shi Tianzun Angrily Slashes Jinghai Branch Saint Wei Yuanzhou, Unannounced Killing May Face Imprisonment#
The content of the post was very simple, a sentence taken out of context: "Yuan Shi Tianzun, while performing a mission in Jinghai City, had a conflict with Saint Wei Yuanzhou and, together with patrol team members, killed him in the Jinghai Branch office area."
It was accompanied by a picture of Yuan Shi Tianzun standing with a knife, his back to the camera, with a headless body at his feet.
The entire forum exploded.
The degree of shock was no less than when he wiped out the evil faction Saints in the Extraordinary instance. Of course, it couldn't be compared to the achievements in the Slaughter instance.
But the severity of the nature exceeded it.
It was like a hero slaying a dragon, rescuing a princess, and everyone cheering, thinking the hero had a bright future.
As a result, the hero slept with the king's concubine. The concubine naturally couldn't be compared to a terrifying dragon, but the nature was very serious and could lead to the hero being executed.
No one knew the hero's reason for not sleeping with the princess and sleeping with the concubine, just as the post didn't say why Yuan Shi Tianzun angrily slashed his Saint colleague. The official Night Watchers in various branches didn't know.
Many rational people felt that there was another hidden story, but more were led by the rhythm, saying that Yuan Shi Tianzun was getting carried away, that "no matter what, you can't kill colleagues", that "Heaven wants to destroy him, it must first make him crazy", and so on.
In the study of a villa in Fu Jiawan, Fu Qingyang opened his laptop and logged into the Songhai Branch conference room software.
Almost simultaneously, he saw the five elders, "Old Man and Dog", "Goddess Luo", "Yellow Sand Hundred Battles", "World-Destroying Skyfire", and "Breathing Earth", online.
As soon as he came online, Elder Skyfire slammed the table and cursed, "Killing an official Saint at will, does he still have the organization in his eyes? Are there any rules? Is he trying to rebel?"
Three hours had passed since the news came from Jinghai City. The Songhai Branch elders were shocked when they heard the news.
Killing colleagues without authorization was a major crime. The nature was so bad, the means so hot, that the branch could tolerate it, but headquarters couldn't. Yuan Shi Tianzun was very likely to ruin his own future.
Elder Skyfire was angry at his lack of ambition!
Elder Goddess Luo said, "Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, murdering blood relatives, he deserves to die."
Elder Yellow Sand Hundred Battles said in a deep voice, "Wei Yuanzhou's incident has not yet been determined. There is no need to say more. What we have to deal with now is the issue of Yuan Shi Tianzun. Headquarters should have received the news. We don't know what the Elder Council's attitude is yet. Let's think about how to protect Yuan Shi Tianzun first."
Elder Skyfire roared, "How to protect him? Even if Wei Yuanzhou is sliced into a thousand pieces, it shouldn't be him who killed him. Tell me how to protect him? If he can be protected, where is the credibility of the official system? Where is the discipline?"
The conference room fell silent.
After more than ten seconds, Elder Dog asked in confusion, "With Yuan Shi's personality and brains, he shouldn't have done such a reckless thing. Is there another hidden story in this?"
In that situation, Wei Yuanzhou could have been subdued and forcibly controlled. There was no need to kill him.
Fu Qingyang said coldly, "There is no hidden story. Yuan Shi Tianzun has already admitted that he killed Wei Yuanzhou because he felt he deserved to die."
After a pause, he said, "I want to add something. The captain of the Kangyang District Second Team, Li Dongze, Yuan Shi Tianzun's former superior, just called to tell me that not long ago, he discovered that Yuan Shi Tianzun's personality had become extremely paranoid, which was very different from when he first joined."
Elder Skyfire was furious upon hearing this, "Yuan Shi Tianzun's personality has changed drastically? You didn't know about such an important thing? What kind of superior are you?"
Fu Qingyang did not refute. "I failed to notice the changes in my subordinate's personality. I have nothing to say."
Elder Breathing Earth analyzed, "Multiple high-difficulty instance experiences, experiencing life and death, have imperceptibly affected his personality? But he has only entered five or six instances since becoming a Night Watcher. Even if it's dangerous, it shouldn't lead to such a drastic change in personality."
The speaker sighed in the amplifier. "Perhaps it's not the instances. I remembered something."
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush," Elder Skyfire was in a particularly bad mood today.
Elder Dog smiled bitterly. "This matter is my fault. You all know that the Chu family destruction case was what I got from the Demon Eye, but there is another thing I didn't say. At that time, the condition proposed by the Demon Eye was to see Yuan Shi Tianzun. I agreed."
"The Demon Eye kept his promise and told me the truth about the massacre that year, but I didn't expect him to suddenly curse Yuan Shi Tianzun, cursing Yuan Shi to become as paranoid as he was."
"I carefully checked Yuan Shi's state at the time. He was not cursed, and the Demon Eye was sealed in the zoo, losing all his abilities. I thought that was just the bragging of an incompetent person. Now it seems..."
"There's something like that?" The four elders were silent after listening.
Fu Qingyang shook his head. "I was there at the time. Any curse would leave a trace, but Yuan Shi showed no signs of being cursed. This is what we confirmed. And the Vajra Pestle's purification function can eliminate curses. The Demon Eye is not a witch. How could he curse Yuan Shi? I don't think Yuan Shi was cursed."
Elder Goddess Luo asked in reply, "Then how do you explain Yuan Shi Tianzun's paranoid and eccentric personality change!"
Fu Qingyang was speechless.
Elder Yellow Sand asked, "Is he in your Fu Jiawan now?"
Fu Qingyang said, "He is in the basement, receiving treatment from a psychiatrist. I think it's best to wait for the diagnosis results. Elder Dog, you can go to the zoo and try to find out from the Demon Eye what exactly happened."
Reconnaissance agents are born psychiatrists because they can see through people's hearts, but psychiatrists not only need insight but also need to have the skills of guidance, comfort, and communication.
And these need to be learned and studied after birth.
Otherwise, Fu Qingyang would definitely have a good heart-to-heart talk with that "trash" himself.
"That's the only way. Heh, if the Demon Eye knew the curse worked, he would be happy enough to level up on the spot." Elder Breathing Earth asked, "What about the patrol team members?"
Fu Qingyang said, "Suspend all work, dismiss all positions, and put them under house arrest in Fu Jiawan, waiting for the headquarters' handling results. Among them, Guan Ya and Jiang Jingwei are the main accomplices and must be dealt with seriously."
Elder Skyfire coughed loudly. "Jingwei is a minor and lacks judgment. She was instigated by Yuan Shi and Guan Ya to do this. She should be treated leniently."
Yellow Sand Hundred Battles coldly snorted: "How do you protect Wei Yuanzhou? Even if he deserves to be cut into thousands of pieces, he shouldn't have been killed by her, a little girl. Tell me how to protect him? If we can protect him, where is the credibility of the official system? Where is the discipline?"
"Elder Skyfire..."
Elder Dog said in a bad mood, "Let's leave it at that. I'll go to the zoo and see the Demon Eye now. Qingyang, deal with that post on the forum and explain it to everyone. Don't let the rumors fester."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Zoo
Elder Dog pushed open the door of the prison cell. A thick but short camphor tree grew inside, with lush branches hanging down like curtains.
The Demon Eye, half merged into" the tree trunk, hid under the beaded curtains of vines.
Elder Dog raised his claws. The vines rustled and shrank back into the canopy, revealing the Demon Eye Heavenly King, who looked haggard.
The Demon Eye Heavenly King, wearing a sports headband, opened his eyes and looked at Elder Dog, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Your expression tells me that you have encountered some extremely terrible things. Since you have come to see me, it must be related to the Church of the Lord. Which one has come to Songhai this time? Silver Moon? Fury? Or Freedom, that idiot?
If it's him, I advise you to ask the Five Elements Alliance headquarters for help as soon as possible, otherwise you will all die! I can also go out. I'm going to see my Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Alas, I haven't communicated with anyone for a long time. I'm about to become like the Freedom Heavenly King, so talkative."
Elder Dog ignored his babbling and said in a deep voice, "Something happened to Yuan Shi Tianzun."
The Demon Eye Heavenly King's face instantly turned gloomy, no longer sunny and bright, revealing the true face of the Heavenly King. He roared, "Dead?"
