Chapter 375 Internal strife in China
The Free King stared at the judge of the Punishment Department and said seriously: "The Free Alliance is indeed not as good as Fengdu, but we have no choice."

"The Age of Ending Dharma is coming. In order to protect themselves and occupy a place in the Middle-earth, the Lords of the Tenth Palace are constantly squeezing us, the ghost people living at the bottom."

"All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have risen sharply, reaching five times or six times the usual levels! The ghost people who cannot pay the taxes are directly refined into soul beads by you as nutrients. The ghost people who can afford the taxes cannot bear your level. If you add taxes layer by layer, sooner or later it will be refined into soul beads!"

"Those superior men have never thought about how we live, and they have never cared about our life or death."

"Continuing to wait will lead to death!"

"Your Majesty, please get on your way!"

"Don't worry. After your soul is gone, you no longer have to worry about the disputes in this world!"

When he said this, he shouted sharply: "Execution!"

I saw cyan flames rising suddenly, and in an instant, 130 dead souls turned into 130 cyan torches!
The flames kept rising upwards, and the burning ghost soldiers screamed again and again.

But the dead souls who were watching under the city gate cheered loudly.

Capture the Ghost City, burn the evil judges, abolish exorbitant taxes and re-establish tax rates.

Suddenly, the prestige of the Free King rose sharply in the city.

After watching Zhang Baiqiang and others for a while, I was taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the non-mainstream.

The King of Liberty is also waiting for us in the living room.

This was my first close encounter with the rumored King of Liberty.

I had seen him once secretly outside the River Styx, and then again when he was burning the evil judge at the gate of the city.

It's the third time now.

Judging from the degree of solidification of the soul, the strength of the Free King is at least A level, which is the level of the Ten Palaces of Yama.

And he was dressed very interestingly, it was a Chinese tunic suit from the 30s and [-]s. From this point alone, I could tell the time of his death.

It was the era of warlords fighting before the founding of Middle-earth.

Counting the time, it's probably been a hundred years now.

When we entered, King Liberty was looking down at a book.

The so-called book is actually made of paper unique to Fengdu, and some important things are recorded on it.

Seeing us coming in, the Free King raised his head from his seat, then smiled at us and said, "Friends from Middle-earth, please sit down."

Zhang Baiqiang said carelessly: "Lord Liberty King, I am Zhang Baiqiang."

The Free King smiled and said: "I heard the diplomat tell you that if you hadn't set a fire in the River Styx, we might not have been able to get in touch with China."

"Also, you have done a lot for the Freedom Alliance, and the entire alliance is grateful to you."

Zhang Baiqiang waved his hand and said, "You pay, and I'll do the work. No matter how much you pay, I'll do as many things as you want. You're an innocent child, so there's no need to thank me deliberately."

The Freedom King nodded: "Don't worry, although the Freedom Alliance is poor, the fees that should be paid to Mr. Zhang will not be less at all. As long as I am still the person in charge of the Freedom Alliance, this promise will always be valid!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at me seriously and said, "Mr. He Yongheng, I really didn't expect you to come to the underground world."

"Do you know that now because of you, the whole of Middle-earth is almost turned upside down!"

I said in surprise: "What?"

The Free King took a document from the table, threw it casually, and the document appeared in front of me lightly.

I reached out and took it, only to find that my photo was printed in the most conspicuous place on the document!

Judging from the format and text of the document, it is clearly from China.

The Free King said: "Mr. He Yongheng, now your fame can be said to have spread all over the country, both Yin and Yang. China and Earth almost had internal strife because of you."

"This document was jointly signed by the Governor's Office, the Consulate, the Bureau of Secrets, and the Office of Supervision, and then sent to the Curseless Road Base."

"We happen to have trade relations with the Curseless Road Base, so Sir Sima gave us a copy of the document. I hope we can help Zhongtu find you."

He smiled when he said this: "Let's first say that the price paid by China is very high. Whoever finds you can take away this batch of rewards. I won't be polite at that time."

I was shocked.

During the time I came to Fengdu, what happened in Middle-earth?
Internal strife?Who had a quarrel with whom?

This document was jointly issued by the four departments of China and Earth. The general meaning is that all of China and Earth, the Yin and Yang realms, as long as they are friends of China and Earth, must do their best to find He Yongheng.

Once found, immediately protect its safety and report it to the four major departments of China and Earth.

At that time, you will also get rewards from Middle-earth.

I took a look at the reward. It was very generous, but that was not the point.

The point is that a terrible question suddenly occurred to me.Am I the guide of the old gods or the savior of Middle-earth?

As early as when Zhang Sanfen was preparing to take over as the captain of the evil-suppressing team, the people in the Consulate thought that I was the leader of the old gods. As a result, two old gods came and wanted to take me away directly.

But Wei Wuguo appeared again and killed an old god on the spot. At the same time, Mr. Zhang from Taihang Mountain personally took action and expelled another old god.

Wei Wuguo once told me that he would always trust me and ensure my safety.

But after the two old gods came to rob me, it seemed that I was the one who led the old gods.

The internal strife in China must be the disagreement between the Secret Bureau and the Consulate.

And the document also said that everyone who belongs to China-Earth, and all friends from China-Earth, after finding me, are obliged to take me back to China-Earth and hand me over to the relevant departments.

The words used by the relevant departments are very thought-provoking.

Is the relevant department the Executive Council or the Secret Bureau?

Or the Governor's Mansion?
You must know that the Secret Bureau and the Consulate have completely opposite attitudes towards me now.

My heart gradually sank, but my face remained calm. Instead, I asked, "Where is my boss?"

"Is there any news about him?"

The free king said: "Yes."

"After you were kidnapped at the Exorcist Conference in Middle-Earth, Wei Wuguo re-hosted the Exorcist Conference and selected the captain of Team Ten."

"With his strong intervention, Zhang Sanfen took over the position of captain of the evil-suppressing team, and received the batch of materials prepared by Zhongtu, as well as the right to select his own team members."

"Zhang Sanfen publicly declared at the conference that He Yongheng is a member of the evil-suppressing team. If anyone finds you and guarantees your safety, he can become a member of the evil-suppressing team. If you don't want to join the evil-suppressing team, you can take it away. Equivalent to supplies for team members.”

"He Yongheng, you are very valuable now. You have no idea how enviable that batch of supplies is."

"Now the civilian exorcists are looking for you like crazy, and even the wanted criminals are trying to find ways to find you, and then take away a batch of resources from Zhang Sanfen."

I glanced at Zhang Baiqiang.

If anyone found me and saved me, it would be Zhang Baiqiang.

The Free King said casually: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. Among the ten teams, at least three captains agree with the Consulate's intention. They believe that your existence will bring the old gods to Middle-earth."

Three teams...

I smiled wryly.

This also means that there will be three elite teams to arrest me and then hand me over to the Consulate.

When the Consulate gets me, Wei Wuguo won't have the final say.

I didn't expect that I would get so much news after meeting the Free King. Especially the two attitudes of China towards me made me feel a little uncomfortable.

The Free King smiled and said: "What? Do you feel a little wronged?"

"You wholeheartedly serve Middle-earth and want to protect this country, but there are always a group of people who don't recognize you and even regard you as the leader of the old gods."

I suddenly asked: "Are there any members of the Qi family in Team [-]?"

The Free King laughed and said, "No."

"Not only did the Qi family fail to get a captain, Wei Wuguo even publicly exposed what the Qi family had done at the conference."

"Currently, Qi Zhengyi, a member of the Executive Yuan, has been removed from office. Qi Zhengyang, the deputy envoy of Liaodong Demon Suppressor, is under investigation. All the assets of the Qi family have been temporarily frozen, and demon suppressor soldiers have rushed to Liaodong to investigate."

"Well, the Consulate and the Secret Bureau almost had internal strife. The main reason was also because of the Qi family's affairs."

I secretly smiled bitterly.

Wei Wuguo asked Zhang Sanfen and I to prevent the Qi family from becoming one of the ten captains in order to avoid conflicts between the Secret Bureau and the Consulate.

But two old gods came to make trouble at the venue and kidnapped me on the spot.

Wei Wuguo was forced to investigate the Qi family without complete evidence. This move of course angered the Consulate, and the two sides continued to have differences on the issue between the Qi family and me.

Zhang Baiqiang frowned and said: "What is going on in the Consulate? Doesn't there be a distinction between black and white? Is Council Chairman Xiao also a capitulator?"

I shook my head: "If Chairman Xiao is a capitulator, he will not become the Chairman of the Consulate."

"The Executive Yuan is a voting system, and one member occupies one quota. Even Chairman Xiao cannot have the final say alone."

"And since my identity is unknown now, it is reasonable for the Consulate to be cautious towards me."

Having said this, I suddenly raised my head and said to the King of Liberty: "Sir, I want to use the retrograde passage to return to Middle-earth! I hope it will be convenient for you!"
