quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Baobao might also be considered as entering the High Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, the twilight gradually faded and the moon rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s gaze finally lingered on the information about the Chu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information, this Chu Family is truly a commercial giant, owning two large corporations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with businesses spread across seven major cities and dozens of subordinate cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that apart from Golden City, the Chu Family has a certain influence and business in every place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, they are just a commercial giant—there is no sufficiently strong presence in the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one Elder Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng pondered quietly, this is a good choice; with the identity of Assistant Commissioner, it would naturally be hard to handle them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but what if the identity of Hong Tianbao’s last disciple, [Zhang Fusheng], is added?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the master’s banquet at noon, Old Hu’s performance was witnessed by many and must have spread among the upper echelons of Chongyang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s visit the Chu Family first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try to gather enough Life Soul tonight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s gaze was sharp, Grandmaster...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Realm is truly the realm of the powerful; the eldest senior uncle is a Grandmaster, serving as the second in command of the Chongyang Military Department,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the second senior uncle is also a Grandmaster, stationed in Chongyang, managing the Investigation Branch, and Shen Baobao, as a Grandmaster, is also a dean at Golden University...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, Elder Yu is also an honorary vice president at Golden University, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng rubbed his chin, somewhat amused; if it weren’t for his intervention, Dean Shen would have already eliminated the vice president...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, it feels odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the thick documents and called in Lin Changle, who was waiting outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrange it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng glanced at the time and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In half an hour, we’ll make a trip to the Chu Family; remember to bring an enforcement team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enforcement team...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changle paused for a moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, we need a reason to deploy the enforcement team; what do you suggest for a reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll compensate with a reason later if needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, just write two report slips; we’ll decide which one to use when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changle sneaked a glance at the composed Zhang Fusheng, responded honestly, and then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Vice Director Zhang, what should be written on the two action reports?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng thought for a moment, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is for regular patrols, and the other, just write that the Chu Family is hiding and harboring Cultists; which one to use depends on the Chu Family’s behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gulp!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changle swallowed and quietly reminded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Director Zhang, if it’s for capturing Cultists, we’ll need a collaborative investigation document from the Investigation Bureau...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have the Investigation Branch send one over later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changle’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man also has a connection with the Investigation Bureau??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to delay, she nodded, responded quickly, and hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office door closed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng slowly closed his eyes and sent his thoughts to communicate with the grim skeletons far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeletons had already reached Jiangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick blood-red color covered thousands of miles of land, and what was once a prosperous small city had become a true ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge blood vessels rose everywhere on the land, leading to the flesh cocoon that hovered in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh cocoon suddenly opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a diminutive skeleton was abruptly drawn in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deity gazed at the tiny skeleton, slightly perplexed, a... dead man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dead man who walks freely among the living?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sharply noticed that the skeleton carried a spiritual thought, and just as it was about to tear out that strand of spiritual thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton tremblingly presented a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Plague had a thought, and the letter floated up, unfolded, revealing its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To the Plague Emperor]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I have long suffered under the Ancestor of Land Immortals, wishing to kill him to relieve my hatred]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What are your thoughts, Venerable God?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only three short lines, not important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The important thing is the package inside the envelope: a mass of [Flesh Plague].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mass of Flesh Plague that is intact, certainly not forcibly taken out from a human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of Jiangzhou City’s citizens continually emerged on the fleshly body, the heartbeat of the deity echoed across the vast land for thousands of miles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed faintly at the grim skeleton, suddenly smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little daredevil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty eye sockets of the grim skeleton also stared at the deity, the bones rubbed, producing a difficult and dry sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I anchor the world at the Five Mansions Temple,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet I have never established a Blood Shrine or Magic Altar for the Ancestor of Land Immortals, He wishes to seize my body, naturally, I also want Him to fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry voice echoed, the deity slightly lowered His eyelids, suddenly furious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Insignificant ants, dare to scheme against a deity?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar echoed within the celestial vault of Jiangzhou, the shattered earth trembled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from afar, the insurmountable Boundary River stirred up furious waves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god was angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was just a wisp of spiritual will here, even if separated by an unfathomable distance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng still sensed the might of the god’s anger, subjected to massive spiritual oppression, every cell within his body screamed warnings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he still held on, not entering the Eight Sceneries Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once seated in the Eight Sceneries Palace, once seated on the meditation mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the skeleton would become incomparably lofty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He manipulated the grim skeleton, enduring the terrifying divine might, spoke with difficulty:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, shall I leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity suddenly ceased speaking, coldly gazed at the skeleton, knowing there was nothing He could do about the little fellow — unless He walked out of Jiangzhou’s small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, someone wouldn’t allow Him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity regained calm, spoke faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor of Land Immortals...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just someone who occupied a good place to play the role of a landowner’s grown rooster and dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were to slaughter him, why would I need the help of ants?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton was dismissive:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you say so, deep down you know the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the deity could erupt in anger, he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you really want? The divine position of the Ancestor of Land Immortals? The Five Mansions Temple? Or...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tao Scripture inside the Five Mansions Temple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the small and humble skeleton, stared at the equally small and humble wisp of spiritual will hidden within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the god laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton chuckled deeply, leisurely spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no detailed plan for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know where the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron is, and am about to obtain it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity’s eyes suddenly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this reaction, Zhang Fusheng instantly understood in his heart, although the Western Sect always claimed to use the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron to guide the true body of the God of Plague to descend, however.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others wouldn’t know, but Zhang Fusheng knew it very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Mingyue initially intended to slay the god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she be calling the true body of the God of Plague? Now it seems, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He manipulated the grim skeleton, revealing a cold smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems, the cultists of the Western Sect haven’t reported this to a great god like you, God of Plague, have they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity remained silent, but the sky suddenly changed colors, the vast sky of thousands of miles stained with a deep and rich crimson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton exhaled a breath of Yin Qi, continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many Western Believers are surrounding me, helping me to obtain the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron — because only I have a chance to obtain it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once they get the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron, will they really guide you to descend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before dealing with the Ancestor of Land Immortals, should we first punish those rebellious believers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard, a god can entrust power...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity lifted His eyelids, spoke coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little worm, your plea, this god reluctantly accepts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who defy the god shall suffer heavenly punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton gazed at the proud God of Plague, emitted a dry and piercing sinister laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, great God of Plague.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Plague solemnly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appoint you as my agent of punishment, why not come in person to be bestowed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grim skeleton remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity snorted coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rich crimson light descended upon the grim skeleton, a baptism of immense divine material, the grim skeleton was undergoing transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise, God of Plague,\" the skeleton spoke with chilling coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1510,"2026-06-08T09:33:25.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","9df34081c1b1652b05652c379275bbff5f87c0040e0be96e46da8ee8448dea3e","secret-buyer-chapter-392","secret-buyer-chapter-391",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
