Chapter 1 Lingjing Xingzhe

"You don't believe in gods?" Catherine countered.

"I do. I believe in God, Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and all the gods and Buddhas. Before my parents died in the forced demolition, my family often went to temples to offer incense." Zhang Yuanqing said lightly, "Believing doesn't hurt."

He unconsciously imitated Zhai Cai's tone, making himself seem very irritating.

Catherine leaned back lazily, against the back of the chair, and smiled lightly with a sense of superiority, like a big shot looking at a newbie, "It's understandable for mortals not to believe in gods, but we shouldn't disbelieve in the existence of gods. You are a peak Saint, and have entered the Lingjing many times. You should have come into contact with information that many low-level Xingzhe haven't."

*I have* come into contact with a lot of information, but I really haven't entered the Lingjing that many times, Zhang Yuanqing maintained a detached and listening posture, listening to Catherine talk eloquently: "Haven't you ever wondered who created the Lingjing? Haven't you ever wondered what level is above a Demigod? Demigod, Demigod, just by the name you should be able to guess, if there is no god, then how can there be the term 'Demigod'?"

Zhang Yuanqing pretended to be thoughtful and nodded, "That makes sense, so where are the gods? In the Lingjing?"

Catherine shook her head: "No one knows where the gods are. The temple where the gods reside is not something mortals can explore."

"So the gods give you inspiration and let you destroy the Holy See? If the gods are omnipotent, why do they need to borrow your hands? If the gods created the Lingjing, then all the Lingjing Xingzhe in the world are his playthings in his palm, why bother destroying the Holy See?" Zhang Yuanqing tried hard to get information out of her.

"Because the gods cannot descend to the mortal world, so they must let the favored ones walking in the mortal world punish the heretics for the gods." Catherine raised her head, revealing a fanatical and worshipful expression, as if proud of her identity as a "favored one."

The gods cannot descend to the mortal world? Zhang Yuanqing obtained two relatively important pieces of information. First, there are administrator-level beings in the Lingjing, which are the gods in Catherine's words. Second, the gods are trapped in the Lingjing and cannot come to reality.

He deliberated and asked: "Can I understand it this way, the god you are talking about is the god of our Free Faction. Then there are also gods in the Orthodox Faction."

"No!" Catherine said in a low voice: "The Orthodox Faction has no gods, otherwise, why would the Holy See have been destroyed a century ago?"

Catherine's words made Zhang Yuanqing's heart sink. The Orthodox Faction has no gods? That's right, I remember the President said that the virus invasion in ancient times caused the last administrator, Wa Huang, to die.

In other words, the Orthodox Faction no longer has any gods.

But, if the Orthodox Faction has no gods, then who is Haotian mentioned in the Sacrificial Heaven Suit. Zhang Yuanqing was secretly vigilant, thinking that this Haotian might be the alias of some evil god.

Throughout history, it seems that only Emperor Shi communicated with Haotian, and then Emperor Shi was finished, and the Great Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation.

Damn, in the future, after collecting the Sacrificial Heaven Suit, I can't communicate with Haotian, I have to investigate Emperor Shi first.

"I don't care about the gods. I just want to know what treasures are in the Pope's relics." Zhang Yuanqing really wanted to continue asking, but he didn't dare to show too much desire for knowledge on the topic of "gods."

He was worried that the masters behind the surveillance cameras would notice something.

"At its peak, the Holy See had three Demigods! They were the Pope, the Cardinal, and the leader of the Knights, the Holy Knight. According to the descriptions of the Free Alliance's predecessors, before the Pope died in battle, he extracted the power of origin from the Cardinal and the Holy Knight, sealed them, and sent them to the treasure house of the Holy See. After the Pope died, the Holy Plate disappeared for more than a hundred years! It wasn't until recently that we found it." Catherine said, "This is also why no Demigod has appeared in the Knight profession."

The power of origin of the Cardinal and the Holy Knight? It should be like the Taiyin Origin, belonging to the administrator authority of the Orthodox profession.

Zhang Yuanqing's spirit was lifted, full of excitement and desire. Originally, in his mind, more than a hundred years ago, the Lingjing had just appeared, the number of Lingjing Xingzhe was small, the level was not high, and it was in the pioneering stage.

The Holy See was indeed the strongest organization in the world at that time, but it was probably just a novice village.

At most, there would be a few Dominator-level items and one or two Saint-level rule-type items in the Holy See's treasure house, or even none. He didn't expect that there would be administrator authority!

Zhang Yuanqing let his eyes flash with greed, and asked: "Have you found that knight! Is there any news about the whereabouts of the other two Holy Plates."

Catherine nodded: "That knight has been found, but we can't move him for the time being."

"Why?"

"He's hiding in Winnie Berrent's house."

Hmm? The single-lineage knight knows Winnie? He actually hid in the Chief Prosecutor's house, quite smart.

Zhang Yuanqing smacked his lips inwardly, listening to Catherine continue: "As for the other two Holy Plates, we are already investigating Huo Zhengkui's life story. After investigation, we found a clue to a Holy Plate. Huo Zhengkui donated a bronze artifact called 'Zhou Ji Phoenix Zun' to China, and not long ago, the new Fifth Element Alliance dignitary, Fu Qingyang, personally went to the Beijing Museum to appraise this artifact."

"If that bronze artifact hides a fragment of the Holy Plate, then unfortunately, it has probably been taken first by Fu Qingyang. But we can't figure out why he was able to find the Zhou Ji Phoenix Zun in advance?"

While saying these words, Catherine's eyes stared at Zhang Yuanqing with a hidden meaning.

The Free Alliance's hands and eyes are reaching the sky. There are indeed members of the Free Alliance within the Fifth Element Alliance. Listening to Catherine's meaning, she is a little suspicious in this matter.

Zhang Yuanqing was secretly startled, thought for a few seconds, and deliberately sighed: "I understand."

Catherine was stunned, "What do you understand?"

"I understand why Fu Qingyang was able to investigate that artifact one step ahead of us." Zhang Yuanqing said coldly, "That Daoyao Sword Immortal is a member of the Fifth Element Alliance. He passed the information to Fu Qingyang."

Catherine frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand!"

Having many aliases has its advantages, you can throw the blame at will!

Zhang Yuanqing's blame is based on evidence. The Daoyao Sword Immortal is also an insider, and comes from the second largest collection area.

Although there is no evidence to prove that the Daoyao Sword Immortal is an official member, the situation in New Covenant County is turbulent, and it is reasonable for the Fifth Element Alliance to secretly arrange spies to come and inquire about intelligence and carry out secret missions. It seems that Catherine has realized this.

"I will send someone to keep an eye on the Daoyao Sword Immortal. You don't have to worry about the Holy Plate fragments for the time being. Because Julian's death has intensified the conflict between Heavenly Punishment and us, the situation will be very tense in the future. We need your ability, so stay hidden and wait for the mission." Catherine said.

She wants to temporarily exclude me from the Holy Plate mission. The Hunter Guild wants to control a Holy Plate and regain the initiative from here, Zhang Yuanqing did not refuse.

"When there is no mission, I will check my phone once every night. Notify me in advance if there is a mission." After speaking, in Catherine's resentful gaze, he used Dream Shuttle and left without hesitation.

Zhang Yuanqing shuttled continuously in the dream realm, without immediately returning to Heavenly Punishment, but instead came from Kings County to the neighboring Queens County, casually found a hotel, and entered an empty suite.

He sat down at the desk and sent a message to the President: "Mission accomplished, already an internal member of the Free Alliance, the upline is Catherine. Also, I have obtained some intelligence." After sending the message, he began to count silently. Ten seconds later, a man in a sh*t-yellow pajamas appeared in the hotel suite, wearing a silver mask, his hair messy.

"You really can locate me," Zhang Yuanqing snorted.

"Nonsense, that heart of yours was sealed by me, even if you go to the moon, I can locate you." The President replied, and then said: "End the unproductive conversation early and get down to business."

Zhang Yuanqing then told the intelligence he had obtained from Catherine.

"There is administrator authority in the Holy See's treasure house? Good news, great news." The President paced back and forth in the room excitedly.

Being able to make someone of his level so excited, it could only be administrator authority.

After the excitement, he calmed down, "Logically speaking, I should do my best to search for the Holy Plate fragments and collect the Holy Plate as soon as possible, but in this way, the Free Alliance will realize that we are always one step faster than them. You can use the Daoyao Sword Immortal to perfunctorily deal with the Fu Qingyang matter, but this kind of reason is difficult to use a second time."

"Once the Free Alliance becomes suspicious, the undercover mission will be difficult."

"The undercover mission is not as important as the administrator authority, right?"

"But you are more important than the administrator authority, you are the Sun Lord we are supporting." The President thought for a second and said: "The Hunter Guild does not want Tongtian Jiaozhu to participate in the fragment search again. How about this, let the Jumang alias handle the Holy Plate fragment matter."
