“Ah, the supplementary ingredients are easy to buy, but the main ingredient is hard to find.”
“But then again, it is a material for a Sequence 5 promotion potion, so that's only normal.”
After reviewing his harvest from this period, Yin Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Since he couldn't even buy the materials he wanted in Central City, it seemed his only option was to go check out Wanwu City.
With the 【ticket】, Yin Yang could see the opening time and location of Wanwu City.
He planned to go try his luck after leaving Central City.
Basking in the sun and sipping coffee, he felt his life was extremely comfortable.
But as his gaze swept around, he spotted an acquaintance inside a passing car.
Yin Yang shuddered, immediately lowering his head and shifting his gaze.
The person inside the car seemed to sense something and directed his gaze right toward Yin Yang.
Buzz—
The car sped away, severing his line of sight.
“What's wrong?”
Wang Gen, who was driving in the front seat, asked instinctively. In the back seat, Su Baadao shook his head.
“Nothing. It felt like someone was watching me just now.”
In the park, Yin Yang waited until the other party was completely out of sight before raising his head.
“Meow~”
Canned Food popped out from somewhere, looking very refreshed.
“I saw Su Baadao.”
“Meow?”
Canned Food shuddered and looked up at Yin Yang.
“I definitely didn't misidentify him.”
“Meow!”
“Yeah, what a coincidence. First Little White Rabbit, then those two, and even Xiao Zhe and Wang Nan are in Central City.”
“Meow?”
“I've already set up the formation, so we can run away at any time. But before we leave, I plan to pull off something big.”
“Meow?”
“How big?”
Yin Yang turned his head toward the Wannian Platform and said,
“That big.”
...
Evening.
The park.
“So terrifying, so terrifying.”
“The Sun family was turned completely upside down. Even that Sequence 4 didn't dare to stop them, just watching helplessly as those people ransacked the place.”
Little White Rabbit sighed at this point and said,
“The secret room I spent so many days looking for was found by them in just a few moves. I guess that's what they mean by 'letting professionals handle professional work.'”
“I wanted to use my charm skill to get the security officer to give me the ledger, but the moment I mobilized my spirituality, it warned me that I would die. I had no choice but to give up.”
She shrugged as she spoke.
“I don't think there's any point in me staying undercover in the Sun family anymore. They basically have no secrets left now.”
“Mhm.”
“As for the materials you want, I actually heard of a lead, though that item isn't in Central City, nor is it even in Great Wei.”
“Oh?”
As Little White Rabbit spoke, she pulled out her phone from her pocket. After searching through it, she found a group chat, scrolled through some photos, and handed it to Yin Yang.
“Here, take a look. Is this the one you want?”
Yin Yang took the phone and saw that it was a video showing off wealth.
He pressed play, and the sound of crashing waves immediately washed over him.
“Look where I am, guys! Great Qi!”
“This is the southernmost tip of Great Qi. The seagulls, the beach... My soul feels completely cleansed here~”
Whether it was her jewelry or her clothes, everything about the woman in the video was extremely luxurious.
Even the building in the background was grand, clearly a luxury hotel.
But what attracted Yin Yang the most was the bracelet she wore on her wrist.
Shining under the sunlight, the bracelet shifted through various colors, looking breathtakingly beautiful.
【Seven-Color Shadow Snake Spine】!
She was actually wearing such a precious material just as an ornament.
“Is this person very high-status?”
Little White Rabbit curled her lip upon hearing this.
“High-status? Please. She's just a wannabe socialite who loves to show off all the time.”
“I've seen five or six people post with that jewelry and background. It's obviously a group-buy package.”
“Do they think just changing the angle or the area makes a difference?”
“They don't even understand the concept of consistent architectural style. It's hilarious~”
Little White Rabbit sounded a bit smug as she spoke, exuding a sense of professional expertise from head to toe.
“Thanks, this information is indeed useful to me.”
Yin Yang stood up and said,
“Once I leave Central City, your Seal will naturally be lifted.”
...
Over the next few days, Central City was completely turned upside down by Su Baadao.
The Emperor's Party suffered miserably, as this guy named Su targeted them specifically for investigation.
In particular, those who had previously argued with him on the Wannian Platform were targeted for revenge under the guise of official duty—a textbook case of personal vendetta.
Yet, ironically, he actually managed to root out quite a few cultists!
In just the past two days, he had arrested over twenty Shadow Lotus cultists, and four or five members from both the Idealist Society and the True Knowledge Society were also apprehended.
The higher-ups had no way to lay blame on him.
And what angered them even more was that while investigating the cults, Su Baadao had also gathered a great deal of other evidence of their crimes.
Without a second thought, he submitted all of it directly.
Initially, the higher-ups didn't want to act on it. After all, it was wartime, and the soldiers at the front were risking their lives. If the home base fell into chaos, how could they even fight the war?
However, Wan Tianqing immediately began to exert pressure, clearly backing his disciple.
Thus, a new round of purges began.
Ultimately, a helpless Qin Qian could only appoint another person as Su Baadao's deputy.
If Su Baadao investigated the Emperor's Party, the deputy would investigate the Wan faction.
The main goal was to ensure they wouldn't suffer a loss either.
But compared to the Emperor's Party, the Wan faction was truly far cleaner. Even if the other side investigated, they could at most find minor, trivial matters that caused no real harm.
Even if they pursued it relentlessly, it would only result in paying some fines.
This made Qin Qian increasingly furious, feeling that everyone around him was a useless fool.
“Useless! Useless! Useless! They're all useless!”
“Normally, they all talk about benevolence and morality, but once investigated, they're nothing but thieves and whores!”
“Kill!”
“Kill them!!!”
“Kill all these useless fools and replace them with capable people!”
Qin Qian's eyes were bloodshot. Ever since Qin Ye's failure to fuse with the transcendent internal organs, his temper had become somewhat difficult to control.
“Fang Lun!”
“Present.”
An elder with his hands tucked into his sleeves stepped forward, his attitude respectful.
“Go help the Wan faction!”
“Yes, sir.”
...
Night.
The cafe.
Yin Yang sat on the sofa. Behind him, the lantern-carrying ghost stood, holding open a large umbrella to shroud the surroundings.
The blade-wielding ghost stood in front of Yin Yang, its gaze resolute.
The Headless Ghost stood beside it, swinging its arms around, looking very relaxed.
The Red-Haired Ghost and the Drowned Ghost stood quite far apart, as if afraid of interfering with each other.
As for the Flayed Ghost, it crouched alone in the corner, facing the wall.
“Everyone, I haven't sensed the aura of any internal organs in Central City. What about you?”
The ghosts shook their heads in unison. The Headless Ghost also waved its hands, indicating it hadn't sensed anything either.
Yin Yang looked at the Flayed Ghost in the corner, which was hugging its knees, trying to curl itself into a ball.
“That Qin Qian once wanted to fuse with our internal organs.”
“His strength is likely only at the Demigod level, but Central City has Wan Tianqing and Huang Quan keeping watch.”
“It's unrealistic for us to kill Qin Qian right in front of them, and there's still that duck-voiced old man we haven't found.”
“Everyone, I plan to pull off something big!”
