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

If nothing unexpected happens, once this demigod arrives, his people will likely be unable to resist and will be captured, thus transforming the Liangshan forces into Gao Qiu's forces.

Oh no, the choice I'm faced with now is either to become a bandit in Liangshan or to become a lackey of the treacherous minister, no, the congressman Gao Qiu.

These two options are clearly one worse than the other. If one of us has even a slight desire to break free from control, we certainly cannot choose either of them.

But how do we find the third option, which doesn't exist among the choices given by the mastermind behind the scenes?

Chapter 698, Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Roc

Human society is hierarchical. In fact, not only humans, but also animal societies have very clear hierarchical systems. As far as Lu Qian knows, Dongxia University has conducted long-term research on a large number of animals and found that class consciousness exists within biological instincts.

All living beings, including humans, are willing to submit to their superiors.

However, compared to the relatively simpler class system of survival of the fittest in the animal world, the class divisions in human society are much more complex.

Birth, family, personal abilities, parents' abilities, etc. From birth, most people's lives are predetermined, especially in this era of educational monopoly and milk-making entertainment. There are not many geniuses among ordinary people who can only work for the upper class to earn a living.

Therefore, Lu Qian quite likes the Awakened class. Even though ordinary people have many complaints about the privileges of the Awakened, even though too many ordinary people hate the Awakened, and even though many Awakened people act recklessly towards ordinary people, Lu Qian wants to say that among ordinary people, relying on awakening to gain a higher position is the simplest way for ordinary people to break through class barriers.

Lu Qian was born into an ordinary family. Given her family's wealth and her parents' social status, Lu Qian should have simply finished a public university, found a job, and married a man.

She then devoted her life to being a wife and mother, becoming one of countless ordinary people who died without a name.

But Lu Qian awakened, and she was a demon-level awakener. This woman, who came from an ordinary family, had ordinary wealth, ordinary social status, and even ordinary talents, easily became a favorite of the local government's high-ranking officials just because she awakened the demon-level bloodline. After working hard, she broke through the geographical limitations and came to Zhongzhou City, where she became a school officer who could get along well with members of parliament.

What others might achieve in several lifetimes, Lu Qian attained through a single awakening, a position he never dared to dream of before.

But one of the most subtle things about people is that they are never satisfied. When you first enter the workforce, you're thinking about earning four or five thousand a month. Once you earn four or five thousand, you start thinking about earning seven or eight thousand. And once you earn seven or eight thousand, you're aiming for a monthly income of over ten thousand.

As a demon-level awakened being, Lu Qian often aspired to the higher levels of demigod and god-level awakened beings. (Umbrella)

It's important to understand that demigod-level awakened beings are considered top-tier combat power in each state. Within a state government, a demigod is at the core of power; any state legislator or governor, upon taking office, must pay homage to this demigod.

As for true gods, they are those who have completely transcended the framework of the state, acting recklessly without anyone daring to interfere, and are powerful figures whom every president elected by each government doesn't need to take seriously. Lu

These tycoons were born into privilege, achieving a level of success that 99.99% of ordinary people could never reach—they are true winners in life. (Four)

Lu Qian, whose bloodline level wasn't high enough to climb the ranks, greatly envied the Awakened Ones.

They also envied a segment of these awakened individuals who forsook readily available wealth and power to pursue their own desires.

Lu Qian walked up to a coffee shop. The woman's alluring figure and features attracted a lot of attention. Enjoying the intense stares, Lu Qian swayed into the coffee shop, went upstairs, and arrived at the agreed-upon private room.

After opening the door, Lu Qian saw the FBI investigator he had arranged to meet, the one Gao Qiu had chosen to capture the Six-Eared Macaque.

The investigator was wearing a gray trench coat and a black hat hanging on his head. His expression was calm and indifferent, like any young person you could see on the street.

This is also a basic requirement for FBI investigators: their appearance should be close to average. Some investigators who are too handsome or too beautiful even need to undergo plastic surgery.

Lu Qian walked over and sat down in front of the investigator, who sighed.

"I really dislike being called out to work."

Do you know?

The FBI investigators spread their hands.

“I am currently monitoring a Zoroastrian cult in Da Dongzhou. Their leader appears to be a powerful awakened one. They are brainwashing ordinary people and collecting and manufacturing weapons. I suspect they want to seize independence by force!”

Lu Qian smiled faintly.

"That does sound quite threatening."

The investigator slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"What do you mean by 'sounds quite threatening,' Lieutenant General Lu? Do you believe that if these guys are left unchecked, they'll cause trouble sooner or later?"

Lu Qian leaned back slightly.

"This kind of troublesome thing, I've seen it all before in the eight states' governments."

Having served in the federal government for a long time, Lu Qian knew very well that what might be a catastrophe that could destroy the world in the eyes of many people was just an ordinary event in the eyes of the federal government.

For example, a major flu outbreak three years ago infected 300 million people in the Eastern Xia United States, killed hundreds of thousands, and spread to other parts of the world. During this time, the World Health Organization sounded the alarm for the Eastern Xia United States, but the federal government of the Eastern Xia United States ignored the alarm and instead forced the WHO to change the criteria for confirming an epidemic.

In short, this isn't an epidemic here, so don't knock, I won't listen!

"So normally, the bigwigs in Congress wouldn't care about your affairs. However, if you help us with certain things, Congressman Gao will bring up the matter of that group of idiot cult members in Congress."

The FBI investigator scoffed.

"Like, helping you arrest a few people?"

Lu Qian nodded.

"Yes, you are Zhou Tong's disciple. Your master recommended you to Councilor Gao, and Councilor Gao gave you this opportunity."

The investigator shook his head.

"While I am grateful that Representative Gao is willing to send my findings to Congress for discussion, does the situation I am facing indicate that something is wrong with our country?"

The investigators couldn't understand why, if they had found a major event that could cause huge social unrest, they would first have to do some minor things for important figures before these figures would even give it a second glance.

Lu Qian smiled very restrainedly.

“Young man, if you feel that your ideas and policies cannot be implemented, I suggest you strive to climb higher, climb with all your might, and climb as high as you can. As long as you climb high enough, no one will ignore your efforts.”

"All your thoughts will be taken seriously and..."

"Take it seriously!"

The young investigator pursed his lips, then nodded after a few seconds.

"I've learned a lot. By the way, I don't have much time. Are you free now? Can you take me directly to arrest them?" San

Lu Qian wanted that sense of urgency.

"No problem, my friend."

The young man opposite extended his hand in a friendly gesture.

"Commander Lu, you can just call me Yue Fei from now on."

Chapter 699, Chapter Twenty-Seven: Information Warfare

A remote hilltop.

Wu Song gnawed on the chicken leg Zhou Yan had given him and mumbled something indistinctly.

“I’ve arrested people from Liangshan before, and I know how to contact them. Brother, if you agree to go to Liangshan, we…”

Wu Song looked at Little Yama's phone.

Little Yama shook his head at Zhou Yan. Little Yama had also realized that if they followed the pattern given by the mastermind behind this Maitreya's memory world, the trouble would never end.

and so……

Little Yama asked Lin Chong.

"Officer Lin, you've been in Zhongzhou for a long time and seen a lot of people. Which demigod do you think Gao Qiu and his gang would hire to arrest us?"

Lin Chong looked at Zhou Yan, puzzled.

Zhou Yan explained.

"Give me a general target, and I'll monitor them individually."

Zhou Yan reached out and touched the bracelet made of Yinglong dragon hair on his wrist. This thing could greatly increase Zhou Yan's omniscience after awakening. Once broken, it could give Zhou Yan the blessing of Yinglong for a short time, greatly increasing his supernatural powers and awakening level. It was a one-time use artifact to save his life.

Lin Chong hesitated.

“半神觉醒9者，其实就算4是国会议员，8也是可以无2视的。4”3>＊3]ˉ0∧÷5〃●

The status of a member of Congress is not fixed, but the status of a demigod is permanent. Therefore, a demigod, who can be a superior person in any state and suppress a local area, has the right to give a member of Congress a hard time.

"Gao Qiu holds a high position in the parliament, but he has demigod awakeners cooperating with him."

Lin Chong stroked his chin.

"There are only three. These three are Lin Xi of the Bifang bloodline, Zhang Yue of the Kui Niu bloodline, and Sun Yu of the Dang Kang bloodline."

Zhou Yan inquired.

"What are the positions of these three individuals?"

Lin Chong pondered for a moment.

"They're either members of Congress or state legislators."

Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head.

"Then Gao Qiu probably won't choose to come and arrest us."

Lin Chong was somewhat puzzled, but then he understood. If these three friends were not much different in political status from Gao Qiu, then they could easily capture Zhou Yan and enjoy his wealth all to themselves, or take most of the benefits that this Six-Eared Macaque had.

If allies are too independent, their actions will definitely be self-centered. Gao Qiu probably wouldn't dare to invite these congressmen and state legislators with their own ideas to take advantage of him. For example, Lu Qian, a demon-level awakened being, dared to abandon Gao Qiu to capture Zhou Yan. There's no reason why a demigod wouldn't have his own thoughts.

"That……"

Lin Chong shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure. We can't possibly be on guard against every demigod, can we?" ◎; "~

Zhou Yan pondered for a few seconds before speaking.

"How about this, I'll ask the others."

Zhou Yan gave Little Yama a look.

"Brother Yan, the phone."

Xiao Yanjun quit his mobile game with a look of disgust and handed the phone to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan dialed a number, and Lin Chong stared at the number for a while. The number looked familiar to Lin Chong; it belonged to Wang Xiao, Lin Chong's former teammate.

The phone call connected, and Wang Xiao's voice came through.

"Hello, who is it?"

Zhou Yan imitated Lin Chong's voice.

"I am Lin Chong."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yan said coldly.

"You were the one who put heroin in my briefcase, weren't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have to go, I'm hanging up."

"I've come to see you now. While you still have some free time, go and book a burial plot."

"..."

"I'm giving you two choices: one, I kill you; two, help me find out something, and after we find out, we'll be even."

"what's up?"

"Recently, Gao Qiu or Lu Qian have been getting close to some demigod, or perhaps they've come into contact with some abnormal demigod?"

"This? Wait a minute."

About five minutes later.

"I found out that several FBI investigators said they saw Lu Qian and Yue Fei in contact. Oh my god, Yue Fei probably has never seen a woman before. Lu Qian, this beautiful young woman, just wiggled her butt and Yue Fei was hooked up."

　Swelling →: Two ∠” Wine ≯ Slurped ○ ∠鵡珋 Dead Zhou Yan was stunned, Yue Fei?

Zhou Yan looked at Lin Chong, who whispered.

"Yue Fei? I think I've heard of him. He's said to be a passionate young man who, instead of becoming a quiet and comfortable civil servant, a demigod, became an investigator for the FBI, investigating all sorts of livelihood issues. Because he often uncovers things in his investigations, and because he has a stubborn temper and refuses to follow the crowd, not many people like him."

Little Yama came closer.

"A passionate young man? These kinds of young people are the easiest to manipulate. And because they have dreams in their hearts, if Gao Qiu makes a promise, Yue Fei might come to arrest us. They won't be like others, who only consider their own interests."

Zhou Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Is it highly likely that Yue Fei is the one who came to arrest me?

Zhou Yan hung up the phone.

A gentleman can be deceived by his principles.
