After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"We worked together and killed the monster."

The governor on the phone screen spread his hands.

"Alright, alright, I understand what happened. So what's beneath Fengyang Village? Didn't you kill the monster? Why do you say there's still a calamity that could destroy the country?"

"What? There are still aftershocks here? One wave wasn't enough, there will be two or three more, each stronger than the last?"

Mu Yuan sighed again.

"If it's just an earthquake, that's still good, Mr. Governor. I just talked with my colleagues, and we brainstormed together and finally decided on one thing."

Mu Yuan pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"The basement beneath the temple in Fengyang Village is a seal, specifically used to seal away something terrifying."

The governor inquired.

"Was it the one you just killed?"

Mu Yuan shook his head.

"No, the sealed thing has already escaped..."

An old man, whose hair and beard were half white, came out.

“Governor, I just looked at the feng shui of the surrounding area and found that it is a situation of nine dragons trapped in water. The dragon eyes are also suppressed by Wang Lingguan. It is clear that they want to use the energy of the nine earths to trap and suppress some terrible existence.”

"But one rainstorm washed away one of the mountains where the Nine Dragons were trapped in the water, leaving one of the nine dragons missing. The seal loosened, and the sealed thing began to struggle. During the struggle, the statue of Wang Lingguan, which served as the core of the formation, shattered."

"Then the terrifying being that was sealed away escaped."

The governor on the phone screen looked on in astonishment.

"Ran?"

The old man nodded vigorously.

"Yes, that terrifying and hideous thing is no longer down there. The blood pillar and evil energy that just erupted were just a wisp of the aura left by that terrifying being."

The old man looked bitter.

"And even such a tiny remnant was enough to destroy a mountain; such a monster..."

The old man took a breath, the fear in his eyes impossible to suppress.

"We must find it as soon as possible. Anyone with such evil aura and strange phenomena must be a monster of extinction level."

Most awakened beings cannot suppress the throbbing of their bloodline. Even most ferocious beast awakened beings have a conscience, but when the impulse of their bloodline takes over, they will naturally turn into violent and savage killers.

The thing suppressed beneath this sheep village is some unknown monster. With such soaring evil energy, it must be extremely ferocious and destined to cause a great calamity of extinction in the future.

Although saying this is against human rights, for the sake of the whole world, let this calamity itself die.

Leng Qing immediately turned to her colleague and said.

"Lin'anru and Wu Shanfu, you two stay here. I'll go to headquarters to consult Lord Qinglong. Mu Yuan, you go to the nearest city to search for local chronicles and county records, and see if you can find any remnants of Fengyang Village from back then!"

Leng Qing then looked at the group of school officers.

Leng Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute to the group of officers.

"Gentlemen, I won't say much more. Now, I ask you all to guard this place well and make sure to block all news. If any reporters dare to come here, kill them on the spot, no need to ask for permission!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Search

"understood."

"I won't let anyone else in."

"Then I'll go to the nearby town."

Mu Yuanfei headed towards a nearby town, while Lin Anru and Wu Shanfu went to stand near the combined monster in case of any accidents.

Chu Yunfei took out his phone, preparing to communicate with his men to shoot any reporters or strangers who approached on the spot.

Leng Qing glanced at everyone present, his mouth moving as he spoke.

"fly!"

A pair of wings bearing the character "飞" (fei, meaning "fly") sprouted from Leng Qing's back. With a flap of the wings, Leng Qing rose from the ground and flew towards Zhongzhou City.

Leng Qing can definitely fly faster than an airplane. This time, the matter is quite serious. Leng Qing needs to fly back to the program headquarters in Zhongzhou City as quickly as possible to ask Qinglong to ask Dongdou Xingjun for help in calculating who is responsible for breaking through the Nine Dragons Trapped in Water Formation.

Nine large hilltops and forests flew past Leng Qing. Subconsciously, Leng Qing scanned the ground and saw the ruins of Guangming Village, the civilians rescued by fully armed soldiers, the collapsed hilltops, and groups of soldiers surrounding the entire mountain.

Then there was Zhou Yan, who was holding Little Yama and standing in an open space, secretly looking towards Fengyang Village.

Zhou Yan?

This child...

Leng Qing descended from mid-air and landed three meters in front of Zhou Yan.

As expected, Leng Qing saw the surprised look on Zhou Yan's face when he saw her.

Why are you still here?

Leng Qing asked curiously.

"Didn't you leave with your teammates?"

Zhou Yan, holding Little Yama, chuckled awkwardly.

"I wanted to know what was inside Fengyang Village, so I stayed. I didn't expect there to be an earthquake today. Luckily, I ran fast and almost died in the earthquake."

Zhou Yan put the little Yama King he was holding on the ground.

"This child was almost swallowed by the cracks in the earthquake. I pulled her out."

Leng Qing glanced at Little Yama and shook her head helplessly.

"The earthquake... well, it's a good thing, at least we know what's inside Fengyang Village and how to deal with it."

If you haven't been to Fengyang Village, you won't know that so many evil things are suppressed there. You might not be able to react until a great disaster begins.

The number of people who die will not be just a few hundred or a few thousand, but tens of thousands or even millions.

Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"Miss Leng, what exactly is inside Fengyang Village?"

Leng Qing's voice turned noticeably colder.

"What did you sign the confidentiality agreement? Didn't the onboarding training tell you that you weren't high enough in rank to know certain things?" (Angry)

Zhou Yan chuckled dryly.

"I...I just want to help out. I...I still have a lot of money to earn..."

Leng Qing's expression changed slightly.

Leng Qing recalled what Lin Anru had said before: when she awakened, her aunt took Lin Anru to see a luxury mansion and mocked Lin Anru for not being able to buy such things.

When Leng Qing was in school, some relatives who couldn't stand to see her doing well introduced her to some low-class blind dates.

Zhou Yan comes from an ordinary family and is probably not ridiculed by his relatives in normal times. Now that Zhou Yan has joined the "Exploring Unscientific" program, his relatives are probably mocking him even more.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to soothe their restless and wicked hearts.

So Zhou Yan wanted to make money, prove himself, and let his relatives know that he was also very capable.

Perhaps it was a compensatory mechanism, but Leng Qing's heart softened considerably.

"If you want to make a name for yourself."

Leng Qing pondered how to get Zhou Yan to find something that could lead to a promotion and a raise without him knowing the secret.

A sudden inspiration struck Leng Qing.

Got it!

"Go find the descendants of Fengyang Village."

Leng Qing spoke up.

Zhou Yan murmured.

"Descendants of Fengyang Village?"

Leng Qing nodded vigorously.

“Yes, after Fengyang Village moved out, the local state government no longer had any information about the village. We asked the local state government to check the database, but they told us that all the elderly people recorded in Fengyang Village had died, and we couldn’t find any of their descendants.”

Leng Qing sighed sadly.

“Xiao Zhou, you know that the best way to understand a place is to learn from the locals. That’s why we need descendants of Fengyang Village. If you can find them…”

Leng Qing looked at Zhou Yan earnestly, because she had also suffered from the cold shoulder and ridicule of her relatives in the past, and now she really wanted to help Zhou Yan.

"I can assure you right now that I will personally go to the person in charge of your program and ask him to give you a substantial bonus. A promotion will not be difficult either."

Zhou Yan immediately patted his chest.

"It's no big deal, I'll take care of it."

Leng Qing smiled and shook her head.

"Don't oversimplify this. Never mind... I'll go now. Add me on WeChat and contact me if you need anything."

"Yes, Miss Leng, may you have a safe journey."

The pair of "fly" characters behind Leng Qing fluttered, lifting Leng Qing from the ground and sending her flying into the distance.

Zhou Yan watched Leng Qing leave, and Little Yama, who was beside him, tugged at Zhou Yan's sleeve and asked.

"It seems like finding people is one of your specialties?"

Zhou Yan grinned.

"There is probably no intelligence expert in the world more capable than me."

"Come on, Brother Yan, I'll take you to a nearby town to buy some clothes, have a meal, and then we'll find someone."

……

One hour later.

Zhongzhou City, Qingmu Building.

Leng Qing flew from mid-air to land on the ground.

As soon as they arrived, they were greeted at the door by several heads of "Urban Morning News". These heads were elite investigators who had retired from the Second Security Bureau. They had extensive connections and sharp eyes, and they worked behind the scenes for programs such as "Exploring the Unscientific", "Urban Morning News", and "New Era Legal Talk".

This is a major incident, and these bigwigs who were hiding behind the scenes have also come out one after another, ready to cover up this disaster.

One of the oldest men spoke up.

"Manager Leng, I have already contacted Lord Qinglong in advance, and Lord Qinglong is currently inviting Dongdou Xingjun over."

Leng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. With Lord Dongdou around, this incident should be resolved easily."

The oldest person gestured for them to enter.

Leng Qing and the group of leaders entered the Qinglong Building.

The Azure Dragon Building is the private property of the true god Azure Dragon in Zhongzhou City. It is only occupied by the heads of various grain companies that work for Azure Dragon. However, this time the incident happened suddenly, and in order to prevent the news from leaking out, all the unimportant people in the building have been cleared out.

During the time Leng Qing walked into the elevator, apart from her own family, no one else saw her.

Qinglong is on the fifteenth floor of Qinglong Building.

The fifteenth floor had two conference rooms and one office. After the elevator arrived, Leng Qing and the others rushed to the office and knocked on the door.

"The door wasn't closed."

Qinglong's voice came from inside the door. Leng Qing grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.

The group went inside.

Two people were sitting in the office: Qinglong and Dongdou Xingjun.

The Eastern Star Lord was holding a jade pendant in his hand, his eyes closed, and he was muttering words that no one else could understand.

Qinglong, who was sitting behind the only desk in the office, nodded when he saw Leng Qing and the others come in.

“I understand your situation. Dong Dou is currently making calculations.”
