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

Lu Qian ran back to the nearest city from the dense forest on the outskirts as fast as he could, found a safe place with many people, took out his phone in the midst of the crowd, and dialed a number.

……

In an office at the Capitol Building in Central City.

The handsome congressman Gao Qiu is being interviewed by a reporter. Gao Qiu speaks with a serious expression.

"I really like football, if it weren't for my leg injury."

Gao Qiu lifted his trouser leg, revealing a shallow wound on his calf.

Gao Qiu said sadly.

"Now I should be a football star, striving for glory for our country in the world football leagues."

Gao Qiu is a member of parliament who was originally a sports star. When interviewed, he likes to talk about his glorious years on the field.

The reporter took several photos of Gao Qiu's legs.

“Councilor Gao, I heard that you also bought several hilltops near your home, planning to convert them into football fields?”

Gao Qiu said with delight.

"I'm not going to convert it into a football stadium, but rather into a free football stadium. I want to cultivate a group of football stars who can stand on their own in the world!"

Compared to all sorts of messy political achievements and tax revenue, Gao Qiu felt that cultivating a top-notch football team was relatively simple. In fact, if he were lucky, as long as his football team unexpectedly became the world champion, he might be able to gain a lot of popularity. At that time, wouldn't the president, vice president, secretary of state and the like come to him?

Gao Qiu, filled with righteous indignation, wanted to pour out his heart to the reporter before him, but his cell phone, which was in his pocket, rang. "○—zero—"

The reporter asked very sensibly.

"Do you need me to go out for a moment?"

Gao Qiu smiled amicably.

"The drinks and snacks outside are free, and there's super-fast Wi-Fi. The password is..."

After hearing the password, the reporter turned and left.

Once Gao Qiu was alone in the office, he took out his phone, pressed the answer button, and Lu Qian's voice came through.

“Councilor Gao, this is Lu Qian.”

"Yes, Captain Lu, is that what you need me for?"

"That's right, Lin Chong... because the young master has a grudge against her, he asked me... to keep an eye on this guy."

Gao Qiu joked.

"Don't tell me something happened while you were monitoring him, and you killed Lin Chong in a moment of impulse? Now you want me to handle it?"

Gao Qiu sighed.

“Murder is a complicated matter. Let me help you think of a way to handle it.”

Although killing Lin Chong was not his own idea, it was clearly a pledge of allegiance from Lu Qian, and Gao Qiu could not allow those on his side to feel disheartened.

As someone in a high position, you must demonstrate your ability to cover up the crimes of your subordinates. Only then will they be willing to work for you and do many things that you would not be able to do yourself.

"No, Lin Chong is not dead. It's like this, Lin Chong seems to have encountered a six-eared macaque."

Lu Qian recounted his entire encounter with Zhou Yan.

"...That's basically the situation, Councilor Gao. This six-eared macaque...it's really scary."

Lu Qian's voice trembled, and this trembling wasn't feigned; Lu Qian was genuinely afraid of Zhou Yan. When he fought Zhou Yan and Lin Chong before, compared to Lin Chong's spear that had pierced his body, Lu Qian was more afraid of Zhou Yan's mouth, which kept spewing out dark memories he dared not recall.

Words can sometimes be more lethal than physical weapons.

Gao Qiu slowly tightened his grip on the phone.

"I see."

Gao Qiu could feel his heart tightening. This man, who had been so kind and easy to talk to in front of the reporters, now seemed to be suppressing a turbulent undercurrent.

Even if it appears calm on the surface, it can still give people a sense of danger, like a static flame burning, just waiting for the right moment to explode.

"I'll find someone to handle it."

Gao Qiu hung up the phone, muttering to himself.

"The Six-Eared Macaque?"

The supernatural powers of the Six-Eared Macaque flashed through Gao Qiu's mind. He devised countless ways to utilize these powers, and once these methods were confirmed to be effective, Gao Qiu's career would undoubtedly be smooth sailing.

"Interesting..." So

Gao Qiu felt that, no matter what, he had to get Zhou Yan under his control.

……

A mountainous area on the outskirts of the city.

Zhou Yan, Xiao Yanjun, Lin Chong, and Wu Song sat cross-legged together, with a campfire burning in front of them. The pheasant that Lin Chong had caught had its feathers plucked and was roasting over the fire.

A faint aroma of meat wafted out, causing Zhou Yan and Little Yama to swallow hard. Wu Song glanced at Lin Chong and then asked his brother.

"Young master, what's next?"

Zhou Yan picked up the water bottle next to him, opened the cap and said.

"What are you going to do? Of course, you're going to find a good place to hide. When you come out of Shili Slope, do you want to shit on Gao Qiu's head or have the old man of the Ximen family perform a steel-body dance for you? They'll all have to accept it."

Lin Chong, looking dejected, glanced at Zhou Yan, who patted his chest and said...

"Sister, I'm serious. Later, when I'm strong enough, I'll take you to find the congressmen who are at odds with Gao Qiu. Then I'll expose Gao Qiu's dirty secrets and let the whole world see what kind of bastard he is."

Lin Chong clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Yan.

"If this is true, then I, Lin, will naturally follow Brother Wu's lead from now on."

Zhou Yan stared at Lin Chong's attribute panel for a while. Heh, this woman's taming level has reached 60%. Zhou Yan felt that if he put in a little more effort, she wouldn't refuse to serve him in bed that night.

Of course, there's no need to do that.

Zhou Yan glanced at Xiao Yanjun, who was sitting cross-legged playing on his phone.

Little Yama raised his head slightly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qi

Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze. The young man had just wanted to say that since they were husband and wife, they should naturally sleep together at night, and it would be inappropriate not to do something while sleeping together.

But these words were too ambitious, and Zhou Yan was too familiar with Xiao Yanjun, so he couldn't bring himself to say them.

"Brother."

Wu Song grabbed the pheasant from the campfire and handed it to Zhou Yan.

"The chicken is cooked."

Now that Zhou Yan holds the highest position, Wu Song has handed over the power to distribute the chicken to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan took the chicken and was about to divide the chicken legs and wings when his expression darkened.

The young man looked in one direction.

Lin Chong lifted her cold, beautiful face and asked.

"what happened?"

"Lu Qian acted faster than I expected."

A sharp killing intent emanated from Zhou Yan's spine, sending goosebumps up his back.

He realized he was being targeted by an extremely powerful malice. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably because Lu Qian realized he couldn't defeat Lin Chong and the Six-Eared Macaque, and started calling for reinforcements.

Judging from the level of danger Zhou Yan sensed, this savior should be a demigod.

Lin Chong's face was covered with a layer of frost.

"If Lu Qian didn't intend to take us all for himself."

Lin Chong took a breath.

"When Lu Qian reappears next time, a demigod will probably come to capture us."

Wu Song couldn't help but ask.

"Is this demigod very powerful? How does he compare to Officer Lin?"

Lin Chong smiled bitterly.

"We can't compare. All of us combined are no match for a single finger of a demigod."

The vitality of a demigod is completely different from that of a mortal. Many injuries that Lin Chong would have to fight to the death to inflict would be as inflicted as a hair loss on a demigod.

Wu Song: "..."

"Alright alright."

Wu Song clapped his hands.

"Don't despair, we have two ways to resolve this situation."

Wu Song extended one finger.

"The first thing is to split up and escape. Demigods have limited energy. If we're lucky, we might only catch one or two at most..."

Lin Chong interrupted.

"There's no such thing as catching one or two, except for Brother Wu." (Zhou)

Lin Chong clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Yan.

"Besides, the rest of us are destined to be captured by the demigods."

Wu Song: "..."

With his eavesdropping ability, the Six-Eared Macaque is definitely good at escaping. As for the others, Lin Chong really didn't want to say that instead of running away aimlessly, they should stick together with Zhou Yan and rely on the Six-Eared Macaque's abilities to avoid the demigod.

"Okay, then the second one."

Wu Song held up two fingers.

"Let's go to Liangshan."

Zhou Yan and Little Yama both looked at Wu Song, and Wu Song explained to Zhou Yan.

"Brother, Liangshan is very powerful. That so-called demigod probably can't defeat Liangshan."

Lin Chong nodded.

"Yes, Liangshan... I've heard there are three demigods there. Apart from the true gods, no other demigods from any government faction dare to go there."

Lin Chong's expression softened considerably.

"Yes... if we were to join Liangshan..."

Lin Chong then looked at Zhou Yan.

"That's definitely a good idea."

Lin Chong believed that with Zhou Yan's abilities, he would definitely be valued in Liangshan. He even thought further ahead, that when Liangshan became large enough, they could wait for the imperial court—no, the federal government—to offer him amnesty.

In any case, Lin Chong would never want to be a bandit for life. Even if she were to die, she would want to go back to being a government official before she dies.

Lin Chong had also heard that most of the bandits on Liangshan were waiting for the government to issue a pardon.

Here's a little-known fact: the president of the Eastern Xia United States basically signs many pardons every year to exonerate some politicians on his team.

Immunization orders are not uncommon in the Eastern United States.

While playing on his phone, Xiao Yanjun moved closer to Zhou Yan and whispered.

"Has my wife gone in circles and seems to have returned to where she started?"

Zhou Yan nodded secretly.

After Yi entered this world, Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun sensed that there was a hand pushing them, leading them to Ximen Qing, killing Ximen Qing, escaping with Wu Song, and encountering Lin Chong.

The road also got entangled in Lin Chong's grudges, and now, by sheer coincidence, they encountered Lu Qian, who in turn had intricate connections with Gao Qiu.

As a member of parliament, Gao Qiu was naturally able to get a demigod to come to his aid.

In order to escape, they had no choice but to go to Liangshan to seek survival, but this was probably useless. Just like after Ximen Qing came to their door, a series of events began to unfold like a runaway script by Gen Urobuchi, wildly displaying the instincts of a warrior of love.

Zhou Yan feared that if he joined Liangshan, the federal government would start dealing with Liangshan. He even thought further ahead, that a rebellious organization led by a true god might emerge in the country, seize a state and use it as a base, and that after he recruited them, he would have to fight against this rebel organization.

In short, Liangshan is a place you should absolutely avoid if you can avoid it, but now you're facing a demigod.
