spirit walker

Chapter 498 Compromise and Negotiation

The protagonist's team struggles.

[Sun Miaomiao: Yuanshi Tianzun has withdrawn from the group, have you read the forum of the Five Elements League? @赵城皇@天下归火@夏侯荣天]

[Zhao Chenghuang: I see, he actually killed Cai Longshen in the dungeon. No matter what the reason is, this matter is very difficult. 】

The aloof Xiao Zhao sent a series of "sigh" emojis in a rare way.

[Xiahou Aotian: Is there something wrong with the official brain?Although Yuanshi Tianzun is less than one-tenth of the protagonist, he is also an excellent talent, not better than Cai Longshen?Do you want to punish Yuanshi Tianzun for a reptile? 】

Although speaking and doing things are a bit unreliable and unreliable, the protagonist Xiahou's position is unswervingly biased towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun killed Cai Longshen, the person surnamed Cai must die.

[Xiahou Aotian: I hate that the protagonist has not grown up, otherwise he would kill the headquarters, crush Ling Xiao, and subdue Yuanshi Tianzun. 】

Everyone ignored his nonsense, Sun Miaomiao @天下归火:

[Lend me your account, now the Five Elements League forum is full of people who slander Yuanshi Tianzun, I'm so mad, I'm going to fight. 】

Taiyimen's account cannot comment or post.

[The world returns to fire: the majority are silent, and the small part are clamoring. The post has been deleted, but the seeds of doubt are indeed fermenting in the hearts of middle and low-level members. If the headquarters does not rectify the name of Yuanshi Tianzun, this stain will accompany Yuanshi Tianzun for the rest of his life. 】

[The world returns to fire: But I obviously won't lend you the account, I don't want to die yet.The main reason is that Ni's laning is meaningless. 】

[Xiahou Aotian: Is there any way to save this kid? By the way, don’t you Taiyimen always yell "Elder Sun is confused", Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang might as well let your grandpa come forward and threaten the Five Elements League. If you dare to sanction Yuanshi Tianzun, recruit him to the Taiyi Sect. 】

[Zhao Chenghuang: @夏侯荣天, it’s my great-grandfather, my grandfather has already returned to the spirit realm.In addition, your idea is not good. This is tantamount to deliberately causing trouble, deliberately cutting the face of the headquarters of the Five Elements League, and disrupting the normal law enforcement of the Five Elements League. Official organizations will not cause trouble to this extent. 】

[Sun Miaomiao: The Heaven's Punishment Organization will do this kind of thing, Xiahou Aotian always comes up with bad ideas, who of you has a solution? 】

[The world returns to fire: Two ways, one, hire a navy to lead the rhythm, exert pressure through public opinion, and then find a way to deal with the guru, make some concessions and compromises, and turn this matter into a small matter.Second, send your family members out of the country, and then betray the Five Elements League. It is best to join the Heavenly Punishment Organization, and let the Heavenly Punishment Organization promote the Five Elements League to force geniuses away, cut off one arm, and internal corruption cannot be tolerated. 】

[The world returns to fire: In the end, a group of followers were bewitched, and they defected from the Five Elements League one after another to expand their influence and attack Elder Cai's prestige and status.But this is a style of play that hurts both sides. It will completely tear the face off with the official. I don't recommend it. 】

【Xiahou Aotian: There is such a despicable fire master in the world.】

Hangcheng.

Guan Ya, wearing a headset, a mask and sunglasses, led the queen, Xie Lingxi, and a team of plainclothes security guards, parading through the bustling streets.

"drop"

The yellow light of the headset flickered, and Li Chunfeng's serious and dignified voice came:

"Team leader, something happened to Yuanshi Tianzun."

On the side of the street, Guan Ya suddenly stopped and pressed the headset: "What is it?"

"I posted a screenshot in the group, take a look." Li Chunfeng said.

Guan Ya immediately took out her mobile phone, opened the chat group of the patrol team, and saw a screenshot and a passage from Li Chunfeng:

[The original post has been deleted. 】

Guan Ya frowned and clicked on the picture, and when she took a closer look, her beauty changed drastically.

"Sister Guan Ya." Xie Lingxi behind him exclaimed, "Brother Yuan Shi was arrested and taken away by the investigation department of the headquarters."

The girl was full of anxiety, wishing she could return to Songhai immediately, no, go to the capital to visit the prison.

The queen was relatively stable, she just frowned, waiting for Guan Ya's reply.

"Continue to patrol," Guan Ya said in a low tone, stepped forward, and turned on the microphone at the same time:
"Li Chunfeng, you go on my account, post a post, and use the matter of deleting the post to make a fuss, questioning that someone in the headquarters wants to suppress Yuanshi Tianzun. If the headquarters cannot give a reasonable and fair punishment, we will go on strike."

"Conspiracy theories are rhythmic, right? Yuanshi Tianzun's upgrade is too fast, whose interests have been offended? Grassroots are grassroots. Don't think about being able to stand out. The birth of the spiritual realm is only a hundred years old, and some people have already become arrogant." Li Chunfeng spoke eloquently. And talk.

The queen immediately said: "You understand public opinion, and I will give you my account!"

Fenglin Mountain, Winding Mountain Highway.

The black commercial vehicle was speeding along the quiet mountain road. Lingjun leaned lazily on the back of the chair and silently swiped his phone. He suddenly let out a surprise:
"Guan Ya posted a post, but she still knows how to pace? The words are very sharp."

He refreshed the forum and found that the post had been deleted, but similar posts began to ferment.

More and more official members posted doubts, asking the headquarters to disclose the case process, requesting live broadcast, and requesting Yuanshi Tianzun to speak.

The fact that the confession post was deleted for no reason made the official members who had remained silent smell an unusual atmosphere. As soon as the rhythm came, conspiracy theories began to take root and thrive.

"Fu Qingyang, do you want to hire a sailor to lead the rhythm? It feels like a chance to counterattack." Ling Jun, who browsed the forum, was refreshed.

"Yuanshi's prestige and fame don't require me to hire sailors to lead the rhythm." Fu Qingyang said lightly: "The pressure of public opinion has already taken effect, otherwise the post would not have been deleted."

Young Master Qian looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and said in a low tone:

"Public opinion can only exert pressure and is always an auxiliary means. To really accomplish something, one has to be strong enough.

"To severely punish Yuanshi Tianzun, according to the rules, more than five elders must agree. Winning ten elders is what we need to do now."

Among the ten elders, the ones who could definitely be drawn into one's side were the great elders of the Hundred Flowers Society, the two elders of the White Tiger Soldier, and the great elder Di Hong. Fu Qingyang was not sure about the others.

The phone rings in real time.

The assistant sitting in the back row handed over the phone: "Master, it's your aunt's."

Fu Qingyang frowned. He was in a bad mood at the moment, and he didn't want to talk to Fu Xue at first. After thinking about it, he chose to connect.

As soon as the phone was connected, Fu Xue's strong and eager voice came from the speaker:
"Yuanshi Tianzun really killed Elder Cai's grandson? What should the headquarters do? What is the attitude of the other elders? Fu Qingyang, you have to keep him. If you are not sure, go to Xuanxuan."

Fu Qingyang was slightly taken aback.

He was a little surprised by the change of Fu Xue's attitude towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Your position is really firm." Fu Qingyang laughed.

Resolutely put interests first.

Fu Xuejiao smiled and said, "Isn't this a fine tradition of our Fu family?"

Fu Qingyang said coldly: "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Baoyuanshi Tianzun doesn't need your reminder. If you want to do something, let your ex-husband find a relationship and create some public opinion from Heaven's Punishment."

"He can't wait for the Five Elements League to deal with Yuanshi Tianzun." Fu Xue laughed and hung up the phone immediately.

Not long after, the black commercial vehicle arrived in the depths of Fenglin Mountain and stopped at the manor that looked like a botanical research institute.

Lingjun took Fu Qingyang into the manor with familiarity, took the shuttle bus, passed sunshine rooms and villas, and arrived at the big castle-like villa in the center.

At the black thorn-like iron gate, the beautiful vines have been waiting for a long time.

She was wearing a dark blue dress, showing her round fragrant shoulders, and her hair was flying in the mountain wind. She had the beauty and purity of a girl and the charm of a mature woman. The two contradictory temperaments blended together, exuding an amazing charm.

She hurriedly greeted her cousin and Fu Qingyang, and lowered her voice:

"I heard about Yuanshi Tianzun. Grandpa just received a video conference invitation from Elder Cai."

Fu Qingyang's stern face sank slightly.

Obviously, Elder Cai is doing the same thing as him.

Ling Jun was anxious, and urged: "Go in."

The three of them entered the "castle" together and came to the living room, where they waited for two hours.

Fu Qingyang sat expressionlessly, like a sculpture.

Ling Jun paced back and forth, a little annoyed and a little embarrassed.

The time of the ten elders is very precious. How can a meeting be held for two hours?

It was obvious that grandpa was treating Fu Qingyang coldly, and this attitude made people flustered.

Teng'er sat upright, frowned slightly, and said in words: "Yuanshi saved Lingjun and me, grandpa will not fail to help."

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes entered the living room, bowed and said:
"Elder Fu, the Great Elder invites you to the back garden."

The back garden is called in name, but it is actually a primeval forest, where abnormal plants and alienated beasts grow.

Tentacle-like vines dangle from the thick canopy, catching passing insects and small animals.

The palm-sized red ant colony rampaged through the forest, and large animals turned into corpses wherever they passed.

The big bird covered with steel-like wings stood on the tree trunk, its amber pupils stared at the ant colony, and suddenly swooped down to peck at the ants.

There are also giant animals such as pythons, tigers and leopards, and elephants, but all of them have a certain degree of distortion, which is very different from the normal form.

Fu Qingyang walked alone in the perilous primeval forest, whether it was rattan, ant colony, or large animals, they all avoided him in panic.

Fu Qingyang met the elder of the Hundred Flowers Society by a pool of water.

This is a humanoid monster. He has the appearance of an old man, but his feet are squirming roots that are firmly planted in the ground.

His hair was a finger-thick black snake, hissing and swaying like water plants.

He was wearing a blue robe, and his exposed hands were constantly changing, sometimes with webs, sometimes with claws.
"Elder Miao!"

Fu Qingyang bowed respectfully.

The ten elders of the headquarters have three major characteristics, one: level 9 peak dominance; two: possessing a dominator-level regular item; three: holding huge power.

They are the most powerful group of spiritual practitioners below demigods.

Such a character, Fu Qingyang is far behind, even with that sword master cloak.

After all, he was just a newly promoted master at the beginning of level 7.

"Elder Cai wants to convict Yuanshi Tianzun to death because he is in collusion with an evil profession." Elder Miao by the pool looked like a gentle elder, and said with a smile:
"The Five Elements League has finally produced a genius who is the leader of the alliance, and he must not be ruined like this. If you want to save the life of Yuanshi Tianzun, you can go back.

"This matter, the old guys are very clear-eyed and have a sense of proportion."

Fu Qingyang shook his head: "I know he won't die, but he will pay a terrible price. I can't tolerate this kind of thing happening."

Elder Miao said slowly: "The headquarters has been waiting for an opportunity to beat him, you understand what I mean."

"Elder Miao, not everyone can be beaten. You have to admit that some people have strong temperaments and would rather bend than bend. You keep saying that you want to beat Yuanshi Tianzun, but you don't understand him from above. You are too arrogant." Fu Qingyang said in a serious tone:

"The arrogance of the superior is the cradle of chaos, the poison of order, and the root of all evil in the world."

Elder Miao was not angry, and kept a smile on his vicissitudes of life, "The charm of struggle lies in dividing up interests, so knowing how to compromise and giving up interests is the greatest wisdom in politics. What Elder Cai can give, you cannot give."

Fu Qingyang could not refute this.

In the face of absolute strength, it will be futile for you to use all your wits and tricks.

At this time, choosing to compromise and give in is the choice that a wise man should make. From ancient times to the present, whoever has a deadly relationship with their superiors, which one will end well?

The famous officials and generals who were demoted from the capital in the history books are examples.

Compromise, forbearance, and continue to climb is the right way.

"Since you see me, it means that I have something you want." Fu Qingyang looked calmly.

Elder Miao laughed, "I heard that the Zhao family in Huadu auctioned off several antiques from the Qin Dynasty a few days ago."

He glanced at Fu Qingyang: "The old man likes the ancient relics of the Qin Dynasty. As much as Elder Fu has, the old man wants."

Fu Qingyang understood Elder Miao's meaning.

——Return all the things taken from Qin Feng Academy.

For people at this level, many things are free testimony, and substantive evidence is not important.

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment: "I had a lot of collections in my hand before, but I sold them all. If Elder Miao likes them, I can give you the remaining few."

The implication is that only part of it can be repaid.

Elder Miao smiled, "Keep it for yourself."

Negotiations failed.

Fu Qingyang's face darkened, and Elder Miao said again:
"Teng'er is old enough to marry, and he still has no partner."

"Elder Miao means to let Yuanshi Tianzun marry Teng'er?"

"No," Elder Miao looked sideways at this promising new elder, "You are the one who married Teng'er."

"."

In the living room, Ling Jun waited anxiously, and finally saw Fu Qingyang return with a blank expression.

"How about it, is it settled?" Ling Jun and Miao Teng'er got up at the same time.

"The conversation is over!" Fu Qingyang grabbed the white suit on the sofa, turned and left.

"What? Grandpa asked you to marry Teng'er?!"

On the winding mountain road leaving Fenglin Mountain, Ling Jun was dumbfounded.

It was a path he never envisioned.

"Women and feelings are meaningless burdens to me." Fu Qingyang said coldly.

It was obvious that he was very angry.

"Yeah, women will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword. I'm not playing tricks." Ling Jun sighed, "Although I'd love for us to kiss and get closer, you're not the type that Teng'er likes."

"I know she likes Mojun." Fu Qingyang said.

"The devil king is dead, why mention him, um, if I have to pick one from the people I know." Ling Jun thought for a while, the corner of his mouth twitched and said:

"Yuanshi is the kind that Teng'er would like, but she still can't forget the devil."

"Why don't we go back and ask Grandpa how about Yuanshi Tianzun marrying Teng'er." Lingjun's eyes lit up.

"I'd rather Yuan Shi leave the Five Elements League." As a brother-in-law, Fu Qingyang refused indifferently.

Investigation department, interrogation room.

The incandescent lights are pale and lonely, and the soundproof door is closed tightly, which isolates time while isolating the sound.

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't see the sky outside, so he could only judge the time by the clock hanging on the wall.

It's six o'clock in the morning.

He was taken to the investigation department for the third day.

During this time, except for eating, drinking and going to the bathroom, he sat in the interrogation room. There was no bed, no table, no sofa, only a cold and stiff interrogation chair.

In fact, he didn't even go to the toilet much. The saint can go without food or water for a long time, and his need for food is not high.

In two hours, he will be taken to the "Supreme Court of the Five Elements League" to be tried by the headquarters.

The case was presided over by the Deputy Director of the Investigation Department—Cai Elder.

The elders of the various branches attended and acted as juries, and the senior deacons of the major branches attended.

The other nine elders from the headquarters listened.

This means that Fu Qingyang's operation is not ideal.

While Zhang Yuanqing's heart was heavy, he was deeply aware of the power of the ten elders. Under the premise that he was "reasonable", he was still suppressed by Elder Cai with Fu Qingyang's wrist.

It's no wonder that Fu Qingyang wants to be stationed in the headquarters and rank among the top ten elders. Ten elders and ordinary elders are not the same concept at all.

Fu Qingyang is a new elder, and his foundation is not yet solid. It is still too difficult to suppress Elder Cai.

However, Fu Qingyang's operations were not in vain. Because of the heated public opinion on this matter and the attention of all parties, the headquarters invited senior deacons to attend the trial on behalf of middle and low-level members.

The public opinion is fueled by Fu Qingyang.

He originally wanted to fight for a live broadcast, but was severely rejected by the headquarters. There is no such precedent.

In addition, Fu Qingyang made it clear that his life would not be in danger, but if the headquarters wants to beat him with this, it may pay some price.

As for what the price is and to what extent, we have to see the truth in the trial court.

Although the trial is just a process, the old men have already discussed how to punish and to what extent.

But Mr. Qian will make the last effort to minimize the punishment.

While thinking, the soundproof door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and two men in suits and leather shoes came walking with their backs straight.

"The time is up, we will take you to the trial court."

The two took out the handcuffs, put them on Zhang Yuanqing, and made a gesture of please.
