The black threads flowed smoothly, as if conveying something.

The Earth God was so frightened by this scene that he almost knelt down on the ground.

As a minor earth immortal who has lived for so many years, he has seen and learned a great deal!
Unexpectedly, Jin Buhuan was worshipping the infamous evil god Ziyue.

Legend has it that this evil god existed since the primordial era, originally just an insignificant little demon. Later, this little demon obtained some incredible opportunity, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds, becoming a famous and powerful being.

However, it was later discovered that his achievements were entirely due to stealing other people's cultivation resources. Later, Zi Yue, who continued to steal cultivation resources from others, incurred the wrath of many and was defeated by a group of powerful figures, who destroyed his soul and condemned him to eternal damnation.

This evil god gradually disappeared into the long river of history.

Even he, a mere earth immortal, had only heard the story of this evil god. The Zi Yue in the story was characterized by his Buddha-like appearance, his entirely black body, and his three arms and two heads!

Isn't this evil god already dead?

The Earth God realized he might be in deep trouble, and he was filled with regret. He should have resisted the temptation!
Just as he was about to sneak away to report the matter to Zhang Hao, he suddenly felt a black aura spreading around him. The black aura condensed into a solid wall that he could not penetrate!
"Discovered!"

The Earth God reacted instantly, but it was too late. The black mist condensed into a small compartment, trapping him inside.

"It's such a pleasant surprise to have guests coming from afar! It's been so long since we've seen the immortals of this era. Why don't we come out and have a get-together?"

A voice rang out, its gender indiscernible, and the Earth God was forcibly dragged in front of Jin Buhuan.

A black thread grew from Jin Buhuan's brow, connecting to the Buddha statue. He slowly opened his eyes, initially still bright, but less than two seconds later, he blinked, and a purple light flashed in his eyes, instantly changing his expression and demeanor.

He exuded an aura of unfathomable mystery and sinister wickedness.

"You...you're not Jin Buhuan, are you?" The Earth God was trapped and unable to move, but he forced himself to remain calm as he looked at the person in front of him.

In reality, the Earth God was extremely flustered. If given another chance, he would never agree to help, even if it meant death!

An evil god from the ancient primordial era has awakened! How could a small landowner like him possibly get involved in something like this?
"You should know who I am, right? That's right, I am Ziyue. I never expected that the first deity I would see when I woke up would be an earth god."

The Earth God was flustered, but on the surface he still tried to remain calm: "I wonder what you want by forcibly inviting me here for a face-to-face talk?"

If you want to kill me or torture me, just give me a straight answer!
"I invited you here because I wanted to understand this era. Your memories can help me to understand this era better. After all, I'm not some inflexible old-fashioned person."

Ziyue approached him with a smile, and in the panicked eyes of the Earth God, he raised a hand and slowly pressed it on the Earth God's temple.

The moment the Earth God's temple was pressed, he felt as if his soul had been severely injured, like a beautiful piece of blue and white porcelain being shattered by a sudden brute force, and the fragments were even picked up by the other party!
The Earth God spat out a mouthful of blood. He wanted to send the message back, but he simply didn't have enough magic power to cast a spell.

"I hate it when someone tipes me off right under my nose, but since you're the first deity I've seen since I woke up, I'll spare you the torment and just give you a quick death."

Zi Yue lowered her head slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then slowly opened her mouth.

In the last moment before his consciousness faded, the Earth God only remembered a gaping maw suddenly appearing before him and swallowing him whole!
After that, he remembered nothing, or rather, the world lost a local god.

After swallowing a terrestrial immortal, the evil god Ziyue let out a rather unrefined burp. She hadn't expected that this guy would also be carrying a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, which was a good thing and tasted really good.

After a hearty meal, Ziyue returned to the statue with satisfaction.

He needed to process all the information he had received from the Earth God. As for the mortal who worshipped him, he would just give him some good luck; after all, that luck wasn't his to possess, so he wouldn't mind giving it away.

Jin Buhuan, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the Buddha statue, gradually came to his senses. Looking at the Buddha statue in front of him, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

If you suddenly lose focus while worshipping a deity, it means your prayers have been successful and the deity you are worshipping will bring you good luck!
Overjoyed, Jin Buhuan carefully put away the statue and placed it in the most precious golden nanmu box.

Wherever he goes, he carries this statue with him, because his good fortune and career are all thanks to the protection of this statue.

Zhang Hao waited for several days, but the local earth god did not bring back any news.

Chen Anshui was a young man, unlike Zhang Hao who was calm and composed. On this day, seeing that there was still no news from the Earth God, he could no longer bear it.

"Mr. Han, did that local deity just take the things and run away? You know, so many days have passed, and he hasn't sent back a single message! Even if we're going to fight, shouldn't we at least give him a heads-up and tell him what kind of business he's been doing lately and what his schedule is?"

But there was absolutely no news! The Earth God seemed to have vanished into thin air, not a single word returned! This was just like those Western special intelligence agencies deliberately swindling operating funds!
“Something is definitely not right. I’ll take the initiative to contact him.” Although Zhang Hao was calm, this situation was indeed abnormal.

Zhang Hao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window again and drew a magic array to summon the Earth God.

The runes shimmered with iridescent light, and the corresponding incantations were recited, but the air remained silent, and no local deity appeared in response.

Zhang Hao gazed at the calm sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his brows furrowing slightly. He calculated with his fingers, carefully sensing the feedback from the summoning array.

Chen Anshui watched from the side. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could tell that this was a big deal! Otherwise, Mr. Han's expression wouldn't be so solemn.

Zhang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, and Chen Anshui's heart jumped into her throat. She hurriedly asked, "Mr. Han? Is there any news?"

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and said in a very heavy tone, "The Earth God has vanished into nothingness, his soul scattered and gone between heaven and earth."

Chen Anshui froze on the spot, for a moment thinking he had misheard: "How is this possible! That's the Earth God! A genuine deity! For deities, living for thousands of years, let alone living as long as heaven and earth, is a piece of cake!"

"Under normal circumstances, that would be true, but this is not the normal situation."

Zhang Hao looked towards the horizon, where the bright moon was about to rise above the horizon. If one had cultivated the art of Yin-Yang Feng Shui, one could immediately see that around the bright moon in the sky was a faint, almost imperceptible purple halo!

Zhang Hao's mood grew increasingly grave: "The Purple Moon has appeared, the Evil God has descended... Has the Evil God been revived? It seems great chaos is inevitable!"

As night fell, they were in the presidential suite on the top floor, with a large balcony offering a panoramic view of the bustling city skyline below.

However, Chen Anshui was in no mood to appreciate the night view at this moment. He was so frightened that he almost pressed himself against the wall, as if he was about to turn into a pancake!
Because he saw lonely ghosts and spirits drifting by in the moonlight.

One of them had his limbs bent backward at an abnormal angle, his eye half-out, still oozing blood. He crawled in the air, running and shouting, "There's been a car accident! There's been a car accident!"

There was also a man dressed in ancient clothing, holding a copy of Mencius, walking in mid-air, reciting the words of the sage as he went. Every now and then, he would clench his fist and pound his head hard, shouting from time to time, "Study hard! Become the top scholar!" There was also a little girl, her body like a mushy, overcooked bun, swimming through the air as if she were swimming, shouting, "I'm drowning! I'm drowning!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Hao delivered all these souls to the afterlife.

Black Impermanence arrived in response and took the souls away. Only then did Zhang Hao turn around and glance at his assistant Chen Anshui, who was clearly terrified.

"Don't be afraid. It's just because an evil god has appeared in the world, and the balance of Yin and Yang has been reversed. Those demons and monsters think that their luck is about to change, so they all come out to cause trouble."

“This matter doesn’t seem simple at all, Mr. Han. What do you plan to do next?” Chen Anshui stared straight at him, his eyes full of seriousness and scrutiny.

Zhang Hao looked up at the sky and said, "What else can we do? Of course, we must eradicate the evil god and restore peace to the world."

Chen Anshui's face fell, thinking to himself: Don't make it sound so easy! This matter sounds extremely complicated, and if you actually do it, it will definitely be even more complicated.

Don't talk like you can do this so easily.

"Don't look so gloomy, relax. The way you look is like someone owes you millions."

Zhang Hao had a great attitude, always maintaining a calm mindset and comforting him with a smile.

If Chen Anshui could listen to advice, he wouldn't be Chen Anshui. He couldn't bear it any longer. After taking a couple of deep breaths, he grabbed Zhang Hao's arm and said urgently, "Mr. Han, just tell me straight. What are your plans next? And how can I help?"

Zhang Hao crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile.

This guy has a strong sense of justice and an excessively strong sense of responsibility; he's definitely a good candidate for a job.

"Next, naturally, is to subdue demons and monsters. You? You've just started cultivating, so it seems you can't be of much help."

Chen Anshui felt a pang of pain in his heart. Yes, at this crucial moment, he seemed to be of no use at all.

"Then I'll stay by your side and help you run errands. That way I can at least contribute."

Zhang Hao did not refuse.

The next area of ​​investigation can actually be focused on Jin Buhuan.

After all, he had previously arranged for the local earth god to investigate Jin Buhuan, and the earth god got into trouble, so Jin Buhuan must have a problem.

The death of the Earth God must be inextricably linked to Jin Buhuan.

After Zhang Hao understood this, he took Han San and went to Jin Buhuan's company. They both disguised themselves and prepared fake identities and resumes to apply for jobs at Jin Buhuan's company.

"I heard that this company has taken on a big government project and is sure to take off in the future. This company has the potential to become a large enterprise, and the benefits for its employees are quite good. Where did you hear about this and that's why you applied?"

In the corridor of Jin Buhuan Company, a group of young recent graduates held their resumes and lined up for interviews, just waiting for the interviewer to call them.

Because they were getting bored while waiting, they started chatting.

It was under these circumstances that Zhang Hao was approached by someone.

The person who spoke to him was a very pretty girl, who was standing in line next to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao glanced at the crowd and found that the two lines together had more than 100 people.

This was just an application for an assistant position, but I didn't expect so many people to come.

Moreover, after submitting a resume, the interviewer will only call you in for an interview if they are interested. Calling in more than 100 people for an interview at once is just too exaggerated, isn't it?

Zhang Hao thought to himself, this is just as exaggerated as the imperial harem selection in ancient times.

Han San, standing behind him, frowned deeply. Today, he had disguised himself as a college student from a prestigious university to apply for the job of Jin Buhuan's assistant, but he hadn't expected to encounter so many competitors.

I originally thought that a top university graduate applying for a small personal assistant position would be a sure thing.

But when he arrived at the scene, Han San realized that he had oversimplified things.

Because all 100-plus people present were graduates of prestigious universities, some even from Ivy League schools abroad.

He... doesn't seem to have any obvious advantages.

I originally planned to apply for an assistant position so I could conduct investigations nearby, but now it seems I need to adjust my plans.

As Han San was pondering this, the office door opened, and a professional woman in a royal blue suit called out a name: "Zhang Hao!"

Zhang Hao immediately raised his hand in response: "I'm here."

His enthusiastic response made the woman frown: "This is a public place, don't shout so loudly, it will disturb others."

Zhang Hao immediately withdrew his hand, adopting a serious listening posture: "Okay, I'll remember."

His obedient demeanor was pleasing to the eye, so the interviewer nodded and said calmly, "It's your turn. Come in."

As soon as Zhang Hao stepped into the interviewer's office, he immediately felt a gloomy atmosphere wash over him.

The entire office is decorated in a stylish yet minimalist way; at first glance, the decorating style is quite tasteful.

However, in reality, the feng shui energy field of this office is severely imbalanced in terms of yin and yang. If a person stays here for a long time and is constantly exposed to yin energy, their body will become weak, they will suffer from insomnia and nightmares, their hair will gradually fall out, their immune system will weaken, and they will eventually slowly die.

Why is the feng shui of this office so strange?

Zhang Hao was completely baffled. Such a feng shui arrangement couldn't be a coincidence. Who was deliberately targeting this interviewer? (End of Chapter)
