The protagonist's team struggles.

[Sun Miaomiao: Yuanshi Tianzun has withdrawn from the group. Have you read the forum of the Five Elements Alliance? Zhao Chenghuang, the world returns to fire, Xiahou Aotian]

[Zhao Chenghuang: I saw it. He actually killed Cai Longshen in the dungeon. Regardless of the reason, this matter is very difficult. 】

The aloof Xiao Zhao rarely sent a series of "sigh" emoticons.

[Xiahou Aotian: Is there something wrong with the official brain? Although Yuanshi Tianzun is not one-tenth as good as this protagonist, he is still an outstanding talent, no better than Cai Longshen? Should we punish Yuanshi Tianzun for a reptile? 】

Although his words and actions are somewhat unreliable and unreliable, the protagonist Xia Hou’s position is unswervingly biased.

To Yuanshi Tianzun.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun killed Cai Longshen, then the person named Cai must die.

[Xia Hou Aotian: It’s a shame that this protagonist has not grown up, otherwise he would have killed the headquarters, crushed Ling Xiao, and conquered Yuan Shitian

respect. 】

Everyone ignored his nonsense, Sun Miaomiao @天下 Return to Fire:

[Lend me your account. Now the Five Elements Alliance forum is full of people slandering Yuanshi Tianzun. I am so angry that I want to go to the line. 】

Taiyimen's account cannot comment or post.

[The world returns to fire: Most of them are silent, and a small part are clamoring. The post has been deleted, but the seeds of doubt are indeed fermenting in the hearts of middle and low-level members. If the headquarters does not clear the name of Yuanshi Tianzun, this stain will accompany Yuanshi Tianzun.

lifetime. 】

[The world returns to fire: But I obviously won’t lend you my account. I don’t want to flee the world yet. Mainly because your lane is meaningless. 】

[Xia Hou Aotian: Is there any way to save this kid? Oh, by the way, don’t you Taiyimen always shout "Elder Sun is confused"? Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang why not ask your grandfather to come forward and threaten the Five Elements Alliance, if you dare to sanction Yuanshi Tianzun recruited him to Taiyi Sect. 】

[Zhao Chenghuang: @xiahouaotian, this is my grandfather. My grandfather has returned to the spiritual realm a long time ago. In addition, your idea is not a good one. It is tantamount to deliberately causing trouble, deliberately damaging the reputation of the Five Elements Alliance headquarters, and undermining the normal law enforcement of the Five Elements Alliance. Official organizations and party organizations will not get into trouble like this. 】

[Sun Miaomiao: The Heavenly Punishment Organization will do such a thing. Xiahou Aotian always comes up with bad ideas. Which of you can do anything? 】

[The world returns to fire: There are two methods. One is to hire a navy army to lead the way, put pressure through public opinion, and then find a way to deal with the nine elders, make some concessions and compromises, and turn this matter into a major issue. Second, send your family out of the country and then betray the Five Elements Alliance. It is best to join the Heavenly Punishment Organization and let the Heavenly Punishment Organization preach that the Five Elements Alliance forces geniuses to leave, cut off one's own arm, and internal politics cannot tolerate others. 】

[The world returns to fire: In the end, a group of followers were bewitched and they rebelled against the Five Elements Alliance one after another, expanding their influence and attacking Elder Cai's prestige and status. But this is a lose-lose style of play, completely breaking up with the official, and I don’t recommend it. 】

[Xiahou Aotian: There is such a despicable fire master in the world...]

…….…

Hangzhou.

Wearing a headset, a mask and sunglasses, Guan Ya led the Queen, Xie Lingxi, and a team of plainclothes security guards on a parade through the bustling streets.

"drop…"

The yellow light of the headset flashed, and Li Chunfeng's serious and dignified voice came:

"Team leader, something happened to Yuanshi Tianzun."

On the street, Guan Ya suddenly stopped and pressed the headset: "What's the matter?"

"I sent the screenshot to the group, please take a look." Li Chunfeng said.

Guan Ya immediately took out her phone, opened the chat group of the patrol team, and saw a screenshot and a paragraph from Li Chunfeng:

[The original post has been deleted. 】

Guan Ya frowned and clicked on the picture. When she took a closer look, her appearance changed drastically.

"Sister Guan Ya..." Xie Lingxi behind him exclaimed, "Brother Yuan Shi was arrested and taken away by the investigation department of the headquarters."

The girl's face was full of panic, and she wished she could return to Songhai immediately, no, go to the capital to visit the prison.

The queen was relatively calm, just frowning, waiting for Guan Ya's reply.



Continue patrolling," Guan Ya said in a low tone, stepping forward and turning on the microphone at the same time:

"Li Chunfeng, you log into my account, post a post, and use the deletion of the post to make a fuss about whether someone within the headquarters wants to suppress Yuanshi Tianzun. If the headquarters cannot give a reasonable and fair penalty, we will go on strike."

"It's a conspiracy theory to keep pace, right? Is this okay? Yuanshi Tianzun upgraded too fast. Whose interests have been offended? The grassroots are the grassroots. Don't expect to get ahead. The spiritual realm has only been born for a hundred years, and some people have already become arrogant. "Li Chunfeng talked eloquently.

The queen immediately said: "You understand public opinion, and I will give you my account!"

Maple Forest Mountain, winding mountain road.

The black business car was speeding along the quiet mountain road. Lingjun leaned lazily on the back of his chair and scrolled through his phone silently. He suddenly let out a sigh: "Guan Ya posted a post, and she actually knows how to set the rhythm? Her words are very sharp. .”

He refreshed the forum and found that the post had been deleted, but similar posts began to ferment.

More and more official members are posting questions and asking the headquarters to disclose the case process and live broadcast.

, asking for Yuanshi Tianzun to speak.

The fact that the confession post was deleted for no reason made the official members who had remained silent smell something unusual. As the rhythm progressed, conspiracy theories began to take root and grow.

"Fu Qingyang, do you want to hire a navy army to set the pace? This feels like an opportunity for a counterattack." Lingjun, who was browsing the forum, became energetic.

"Yuanshi's prestige and reputation no longer require me to hire trolls to lead the way." Fu Qingyang said calmly: "The pressure of public opinion has already taken effect, otherwise the post would not have been deleted."

Mr. Qian looked at the retreating scenery outside the window and said in a low voice:

"Public opinion can only exert pressure and is always an auxiliary means. To really achieve something, you have to be strong enough. To severely punish Yuanshi Tianzun, according to the rules, more than five elders must agree. What we need to do now is to win over the ten elders. of."

Among the ten elders, those who can definitely be brought into his own camp are the Grand Elder of the Baihua Club, the two elders of the White Tiger Soldiers, and the Grand Elder Di Hong. Fu Qingyang is not sure about the others.

The cell phone ringtone rings in real time.

The assistant sitting in the back row handed over the mobile phone: "Master, it belongs to your aunt."

Fu Qingyang frowned. He was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't want to talk to Fu Xue. After thinking about it, he chose to get through. As soon as the call was connected, Fu Xue's strong and urgent voice came from the speaker: "Did Yuanshi Tianzun really kill Elder Cai's grandson? How should the headquarters deal with it? What is the attitude of other elders? Fu Qingyang, you have to keep him. If you don't If you are sure, go find Xuanxuan."

Fu Qingyang was slightly startled.

Fu Xue's change of attitude towards Yuanshi Tianzun surprised him a little.

"Your stance is really firm." Fu Qingyang laughed.

Resolutely put interests first.

Fu Xuejiao smiled and said, "Isn't this a fine tradition of our Fu family?"

Fu Qingyang said coldly: "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Baoyuanshi Tianzun doesn't need your reminder... If you want to do something, let your ex-husband find connections and create some public opinion from Tianpu."

"He wants the Five Elements Alliance to deal with Yuanshi Tianzun." Fu Xue sneered, searched "three excellent" on Baidu to take a look, and immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, the black business car arrived deep in Maple Forest Mountain and stopped at a manor that looked like a botanical research institute. Lingjun took Fu Qingyang into the manor with ease, took the shuttle bus, passed by sun rooms and villas, and arrived at the large castle-like villa in the center.

At the black thorn-like wrought iron gate, the stunningly beautiful vines have been waiting for a long time.

She is wearing a dark blue dress, revealing her round shoulders, and her hair is flying in the mountain breeze. She combines the beauty and purity of a girl with the charm of an adult. The two contradictory temperaments are blended together, exuding an astonishing charm. Charm.

She hurriedly greeted her cousin and Fu Qingyang, lowering her voice:

"I heard about Yuanshi Tianzun. Grandpa just received a video conference invitation from Elder Cai."

Fu Qingyang's stern face sank slightly.

Very obvious

Of course, Elder Cai was doing the same thing as him.

Lingjun felt anxious and urged: "Go in."

The three of them entered the "castle" together and came to the living room, where they waited for two hours.

Fu Qingyang sat expressionless, like a sculpture.

Lingjun was pacing back and forth, a little annoyed and a little embarrassed.

The time of the ten elders is very precious. How can a meeting last for two hours?

It was clearly grandpa who was treating Fu Qingyang coldly, and his attitude made people panic.

Teng'er sat upright, frowned slightly, and said: "Yuanshi saved me and Lingjun, grandpa will not fail to help."

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes entered the living room, bowed and said: "Elder Fu, the great elder invites you to go to the back garden."

The back garden is what it's called in name, but it's actually a primeval forest where abnormal plants and alienated beasts grow.

Tentacle-like vines hang down from the thick canopy, catching passing insects and small animals.

Palm-sized red ant colonies were rampaging through the forest, turning large animals into corpses wherever they passed.

The big bird covered with steel-like wings stood on the tree trunk, its amber pupils stared at the ant colony, and suddenly swooped down to peck at the ants.

There are also giant animals such as pythons, tigers and leopards, and elephants, but they all have a certain degree of distortion and are very different from their normal forms. Browse

Fu Qingyang was walking alone in the primeval forest, which was full of dangers. Whether it was rattan, ant colonies, or large animals, they all avoided him in panic.

Fu Qingyang met the great elder of Baihua Club by a pool of water.

This is a humanoid monster. He has the appearance of an old human man, but his feet are like roots that are constantly wriggling, firmly rooted in the ground.

His hair was like a black snake as thick as a finger, hissing and waving like waterweed.

He was wearing a blue robe, and his exposed hands were constantly changing, sometimes with webs, sometimes with claws...

"Elder Miao!"

Fu Qingyang bowed respectfully.

The ten elders of the headquarters have three major characteristics: one: level 9 peak master; two: possessing a master-level rule-type item; three: holding huge power.

They are the most powerful group of spiritual practitioners below the level of demigods.

Such a person, Fu Qingyang is far behind, even if he has the sword master's cloak.

After all, he is just a new master at the early stage of level 7.

"Elder Cai wants to convict Yuanshi Tianzun of death for colluding with an evil profession." Elder Miao beside the pool said with a smile like a gentle elder:

"The Five Elements Alliance has finally found a genius with the alliance leader's qualifications. We definitely cannot let him be ruined like this. If you want to save Yuanshi Tianzun's life, you can go back."

"The old guys are very clear about this matter and have a sense of proportion."

Fu Qingyang shook his head: "I know he won't die, but he will pay an extremely heavy price. I can't tolerate this happening."

Elder Miao said slowly: "Headquarters has been waiting for an opportunity to beat him, you know what I mean."

"Elder Miao, not everyone can be beaten. You must admit that some people have strong personalities and would rather break than bend. You keep saying you want to beat Yuanshi Tianzun, but you are so superior that you don't understand him. You are too arrogant." Fu Qingyang said in a serious tone.

"The arrogance of superiors is the cradle of chaos, the poison of order, and the root of all evil in the world."

Elder Miao was not angry, and kept a smile on his weathered face. "The charm of struggle lies in carving up interests, so knowing how to compromise and give up interests is the greatest wisdom in politics. What Elder Cai can give you cannot give."

Fu Qingyang could not refute this. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how clever and cunning you are, it will be in vain.

At this time, choosing to compromise is the choice that a wise man should make. From ancient times to the present, who has been at odds with superiors and leaders, who has a good ending?

The famous ministers and generals who were demoted from the capital in history books are examples.

Compromise, be patient, and continue to climb up is the right way

.

"Since you see me, it means that I have something you want." Fu Qingyang's eyes were calm.

Elder Miao laughed, "I heard that the Zhao family in Huadu auctioned several antiques from the Qin Dynasty a few days ago."

He glanced at Fu Qingyang: "I like antiques from the Qin Dynasty. I want as much as Elder Fu has."

Fu Qingyang understood what Elder Miao meant.

——All the things taken away from Qin Feng Academy will be returned.

For a person at this level, many things are free to testify, and substantive evidence is not important.

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment: "I had a lot of collections before, but I sold them all. If Elder Miao likes them, I can give you the remaining pieces."

The implication is that I can only repay part of it.

Elder Miao smiled and said, "Keep it for yourself."

Negotiations failed.

Fu Qingyang's face darkened, and then he heard Elder Miao say: "Teng'er is old enough to get married, and she still doesn't have anyone."

"Elder Miao means... to let Yuanshi Tianzun marry Teng'er?"

"No," Elder Miao glanced sideways at this promising new elder, "It's you who married Teng'er."

"…….…"

In the living room, Lingjun waited anxiously, and finally saw Fu Qingyang returning with an expressionless face.

"How's it going? Is it settled?" Lingjun and Miao Teng'er stood up at the same time.

"The talk is broken!" Fu Qingyang grabbed the white suit on the sofa, turned around and left.

"What? Grandpa asked you to marry Teng'er?!"

On the winding road leaving Fenglin Mountain, Lingjun was dumbfounded.

This was a path he never envisioned.

"Women and feelings are meaningless burdens to me." Fu Qingyang said coldly.

It was obvious that he was angry.

"Yes, women will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword...I'm not kidding." Lingjun sighed, "Although I would love for us to get closer, you are not Teng'er's type."

"I know she likes Demon Lord." Fu Qingyang said.

"The Demon King is dead, why mention him? Well, if you have to choose one of the people I know." Lingjun thought for a while, then the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "Yuanshi is the kind of person Teng'er would like, but She still can’t forget the Demon Lord.”

"How about we go back and ask grandpa how about letting Yuanshi Tianzun marry Teng'er." Lingjun's eyes lit up.

"I would rather Yuanshi leave the Five Elements Alliance." As his brother-in-law, Fu Qingyang refused coldly.

········

Investigation Department, Interrogation Room.

The incandescent lamp is pale and lonely, and the soundproof door is closed tightly, which not only blocks out sound, but also blocks out time. 1 Zhang Yuanqing could not see the skylight outside and could only judge the time by the clock hanging on the wall.

It's six o'clock in the morning.

The third day he was taken to the Investigation Department.

During this period, except for eating, drinking and going to the bathroom, he sat in the interrogation room. There was no bed, no table, no sofa, only a cold and stiff interrogation chair.

In fact, he didn't even go to the toilet very often. A saint can go without eating or drinking water for a long time, and his need for food is not high.

In two hours, he will be taken to the "Five Elements Alliance Supreme Court" to face trial at the headquarters.

The person presiding over the case is Elder Cai, the deputy director of the Investigation Department.

Presbyterians from each branch attended to serve as the jury, and senior deacons from each major branch listened.

Nine other elders from the headquarters listened.

This means that Fu Qingyang's operation is not ideal.

While Zhang Yuanqing's heart was heavy, he was deeply aware of how powerful the ten elders were, which was the prerequisite for him to gain "reason".

No wonder Fu Qingyang wants to settle in the headquarters and rank among

Ten elders, ten elders and ordinary elders are completely different concepts.

Fu Qingyang is a new elder, and his foundation is not yet solid. It is still too difficult to suppress Elder Cai.

However, Fu Qingyang’s operation was not in vain.

Fei, because the public opinion on this matter was boiling and all parties were paying attention, the headquarters invited senior deacons to attend the trial on behalf of the middle and lower-level members.

Fu Qingyang is fueling public opinion.

He originally wanted to strive for live broadcast, but was severely rejected by the headquarters. There was no such precedent.

In addition, Fu Qingyang made it clear that there would be no danger to his life, but the headquarters wanted to use this to beat him, and there might be some price to pay.

As for what the price will be and to what extent, the truth will have to be revealed in the court.

Although the trial is just a process, the old men have already discussed how to punish and to what extent.

But Mr. Qian will make a last-ditch effort to minimize the punishment.

While thoughts were swirling, the soundproof door of the interrogation room opened, and two men in suits and ties walked over with their backs straightened.

"When the time comes, we will take you to the Inquisition."

The two men took out the handcuffs, put them on Zhang Yuanqing, and made a sign of please.
