Chapter 25: The Murderer Reappears
After listening to Bai Yu's story, Ji Yao didn't know how to evaluate his father, Ji Yao originally thought that the president was the figure in the dark area, and his father was murdered, so at this moment, he must not mention his father in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, but after listening to Bai Yu's words, Ji Yao really understood why he couldn't mention his father in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.
It turned out that his father Bai Qing turned out to be a figure like Chen Shimei, so once others knew that his father was Bai Qing, his future path would come to an end, and he was not allowed to continue to move forward before the new president appeared, because he looked too similar to his father, and others may not remember anything, but President Di Qian, who grew up with his father, would definitely notice something.
"Hahaha...... I really didn't know whether I should be happy or sad at this moment, although I knew my father and mother today, but I didn't expect my father to be such a person. Ji Yao said with some loss.
Bai Yu also understands Ji Yao's feelings, but Bai Qing is Ji Yao's father after all, no matter what Bai Qing does to others, but without Bai Qing, how can he have today's Ji Yao, Bai Yu also disapproves of Bai Qing's approach at the beginning, but Bai Qing is his own brother after all, even if he is really wrong, can't he be given a chance to reform himself, this is also one thing that Bai Yu gradually figured out after Bai Qing's death, so for Bai Qing's son Ji Yao, Bai Yu, who had been outside the center of power in the past, also began to slowly get in touch with power, of course, in order to let others secretly frame themselves, Bai Yu has never shown his true strength in front of others.
"Okay, Xiaoji, don't be disappointed anymore, after all, it's a thing of the past, so we have to look forward, uncle knows what you want in your heart, so don't worry, I will do my best to help you succeed in this life, of course, the premise is that we can really stride forward after we have the strength to face the emperor directly." ”
Listening to Bai Yu's words, Ji Yao just nodded slightly, but Ji Yao couldn't say anything at the moment.
"I've already told you everything about the matter between us, and you must also pay attention to it, you will never be able to show the slightest flaw in front of anyone else in the future, now, you can tell me what happened to the fairy crystal this time, right?"
After Ji Yao tried to calm down his mood, he opened his mouth to tell Bai Yu about what happened recently, whether it was the Prophet Mutual Aid Association or the acquisition of fairy crystals, Ji Yao told Bai Yu without revealing anything, but when Ji Yao said Zhang Yuan, there was a sudden pause in his heart, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, Ji Yao hid Zhang Yuan's matter.
After Zhang Yuan returned to his room, he found that everyone had gathered in his room at this moment, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, as if something had happened, but he had been in the lobby on the first floor before, and he didn't see anyone coming or going, so what happened at this moment?
"Zhang Yuan, did you get the fairy crystal?" After seeing Zhang Yuan appear, Zhang Yue asked first.
"Yes, what's wrong? By the way, Xianjing has been given to Ji Yao by me, of course, it is not a gift for nothing, there are certain conditions, this time I will help Thor Johnson find a more suitable magic weapon, otherwise, in the future, Thor Johnson will suffer a little when he duels with others. ”
Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, a trace of mist overflowed in Thor's eyes, Thor's Johnson didn't expect that he just complained last time, Zhang Yuan was so concerned, you must know that you have not followed Zhang Yuan's side for a long time, and not only did he not make any contributions, but he was also saved by Zhang Yuan once, and he accompanied himself into the abandoned mine to mine for the improvement of his cultivation, Thor Johnson sighed a little at the moment, this time, he seemed to have found a better boss。
Although his heart was full of gratitude, Thor Johnson still decided to tell Zhang Yuan the news he had just heard today, after all, this role of Xianjing seemed to have a great effect on the future power of several people.
"Zhang Yuan, my magic weapon is not in a hurry, but you must take this immortal crystal back, we only learned today, if the immortal crystal is buried in a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is strong, after using a special method, the place where the immortal crystal is buried can gradually form a rich spiritual stone vein, which will be of considerable help to our own forces in the future. Thor Johnson said.
"Actually, I know about it, but I don't think it's of much use to us, first of all, if Thor Johnson obtains the magic weapon, our overall strength can be improved immediately, and the other one, in fact, have you thought about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to establish our own power in a short period of time, and even if it is established, with our weak strength, can we really keep this kind of thing? In fact, to be honest, this Thor Johnson is not directly exchanged for Xianjing, but I don't want to have too many entanglements of interests with Ji Yao, so I decided that this Xianjing will help him for free this time, and when he makes another move, Ji Yao will have to pay a certain price. Zhang Yuan explained.
Since Zhang Yuan has said so, although everyone is still a little reluctant, but they no longer argue anything, after learning about what happened from Zhang Yuan, several people have asked Zhang Yuan to ask for a few tickets from Ji Yao, after all, this is an auction in the source realm, and a few people still want to visit.
Zhang Yuan thought about it, such a thing was probably not a big deal, so he directly agreed to the request of several people, and Zhang Yuan himself was a little curious about the auction in this source realm.
It was estimated that Ji Yao and Bai Yu's conversation should be about the same, so Zhang Yuan got up again and walked towards the first floor, preparing to get a few tickets for the auction from Ji Yao, but just as he got up, the formation that suddenly shrouded the room shook violently again.
For such a thing, how could Zhang Yuan forget that it was two days ago that the same thing appeared outside his room, and Zhang Yuan also knew about the existence of the Prophet Mutual Aid Association from Ji Yao's mouth, but he didn't expect that the matter had not completely passed, and the same thing would happen again.
This time, Zhang Yuan's reaction speed was very fast, just at the moment when the formation vibrated violently, Zhang Yuan's body had already appeared at the door, of course, Zhang Yuan could directly appear in the corridor, but the people living here were very mixed, so Zhang Yuan was not willing to directly expose his hole cards, just teleported directly to the door of the room.
Opening the door, Zhang Yuan walked directly towards the corridor, and at this moment, there was a person in the corridor who was about to leave, and he was also holding a strange weapon in his hand, but no matter how Zhang Yuan looked at it, he felt that the weapon was like a gun, and then looked at the person who fell to the ground, there was no doubt that he had already stopped breathing at this moment, exactly the same as the one last time, there was also a circular hole in the chest, and a burning smell permeated the air.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan can basically be sure that the weapon in the hand of the person in front of him is not a magic weapon, but a technological weapon, and Zhang Yuan also feels more and more that this organization must be from the secular world, because no organization in the source world will use weapons like laser guns.
After the person in the corridor saw Zhang Yuan appear, he scolded in a low voice, and immediately raised the laser gun in his hand, as if he was planning to shoot at Zhang Yuan, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, and both of them knew that at this moment, someone must be hurrying up from the stairs, if he didn't guess wrong, it must be the administrator of the Tianyuan Inn, after all, in addition to the room shrouded by the hit formation, only the people of the Tianyuan Inn can quickly detect the fluctuation of the formation.
Since Zhang Yuan had a guess about the identity of the person in front of him, he couldn't watch him being caught by Ji Yao's people, after all, in general, the boss behind the two was likely to be the same person, and Zhang Yuan would never do those cannibalistic things, so Zhang Yuan decided to save his life first, so Zhang Yuan beckoned to the man and motioned for him to enter his room first.
However, to Zhang Yuan's surprise, the man did not come to Zhang Yuan's room, but after a strange glance at Zhang Yuan, he immediately reflexively opened the door behind him and entered, this situation made Zhang Yuan a little dumbfounded, it turned out that this murderer was his neighbor, and he didn't find out about such a situation last time.
As soon as the murderer closed the door, the figures of Ji Yao and Bai Yu appeared in the corridor, and the first moment the two appeared, their eyes locked on Zhang Yuan's body, after all, there was only Zhang Yuan at the scene at the moment, so Zhang Yuan still had a certain suspicion.
However, after Ji Yao saw Zhang Yuan's appearance clearly, the suspicion on his face disappeared immediately, and then he walked a few steps quickly to Zhang Yuan's side.
"Zhang Yuan, do you see a figure?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head cautiously, and then strangely came to the corpse's side, carefully examining the wound of the deceased, in fact, Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled, the laser gun is indeed only possible in the secular world that develops the power of science and technology, just looking at the terrifying hole on the corpse, Zhang Yuan was a little suspicious, when did the secular world have such a powerful laser gun, no, maybe it shouldn't be called a laser gun, it may be more appropriate to call it a laser cannon, after all, this hole is really a bit big.
It was just a brief moment of communication, and other people appeared in the corridor again, seeing the new figure, Ji Yao felt a little guilty in his heart, in fact, he could have just arrived at it, and took the first step to dispose of the body, after all, when this incident happened, it seemed that no one else except Zhang Yuan saw that the Tianyuan Inn he managed had a murder not long ago, and it had not been successfully resolved until now, who would have thought that just two days later, the same thing would happen again, Ji Yao had a feeling that fate was playing tricks on him。
If such a thing happens, it must be impossible to hide it, so Ji Yao must immediately start the auction of Xianjing, and he must successfully make a big news before the headquarters issues a handling opinion, so that he can jump out of this whirlpool.
The person who appeared at this moment was just an ordinary householder, so Ji Yao at this moment had completely lost the initiative, and it was even more impossible to destroy the body in front of this person, otherwise, there might not be any rumors that began to become popular, since it appeared in the public's field of vision, Ji Yao could only do business, in order to maintain the reputation of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, Ji Yao could only try not to make mistakes.
After inspecting the scene for a while, Ji Yao did not find any clues, but of course he couldn't say so in front of the residents, so he could only comfort him first, and then after making some guarantees, he let the body be transported away.
During the time when Ji Yao dealt with the aftermath, Zhang Yuan found that the murderer next door also walked out of the room as if nothing happened, and when he saw the corpse, he also showed a look of surprise, Zhang Yuan didn't know if there was an Oscar in this source world, if so, he should really award a medal to this benevolent brother for his outstanding acting skills.
When Ji Yao asked the body to be transported away, Zhang Yuan asked Ji Yao with some doubts, after all, the rules in this source world are different from those in the secular world, generally if such a thing happens in the secular world, absolutely no businessman dares to dispose of the corpse in private, and will generally call the police, and then wait for the police to come and deal with it, there will obviously be no police in the source world, but there is an organization of the cultivator alliance in the source world, shouldn't such a thing be handed over to such a more official organization to deal with?
Zhang Yuan's question made Ji Yao puzzled, Ji Yao didn't understand why Zhang Yuan attached so much importance to the Cultivator Alliance, after all, this was just a somewhat loose organization formed by some more powerful organizations, of course, the organization would not interfere with any force, the purpose of establishing this organization was only to better communicate with each other, as well as the discussion of cultivation experience, so as to achieve the goal of finally breaking through the Heavenly Immortal and promoting the Golden Immortal, so this organization has no fixed staff, it is just the integration of some sect forces, and it has just given such a name。
Ji Yao's explanation gave Zhang Yuan a more intuitive understanding of this cultivator alliance, and at this moment, Zhang Yuan realized that his previous understanding was completely wrong, in the source realm, some are just sect forces, if there is no conflict of interest or grievances between the two sect forces, a sect will never interfere in the affairs of another sect force, in the source realm, although the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is not a sect, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is also equivalent to a sect force, since the accident is in the Tianyuan Inn at the moment, and the dead person is not a disciple of his own sect, so there will definitely be no force to intervene in this matter.
Indeed, if such a thing happens, if the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce does not make any explanation to the outside world and hold its person in charge accountable, it is no problem at all, it's just that Tianyuan is a force in the form of a chamber of commerce after all, and the reserve of Tianyuan's cultivation resources also comes entirely from those who consume in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, if nothing is done, I am afraid that many people will question the safety of business operations with Tianyuan, which will undoubtedly make Tianyuan lose a part of the source of customers, such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, so in order to give an explanation to the public, sacrificing Ji Yao is a very likely thing。
Of course, for such a consequence, Ji Yao has long expected it, and it is not completely impossible to resolve it, as long as the high-level of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce thinks that keeping Ji Yao is more beneficial than punishing Ji Yao, then Ji Yao can survive this crisis unharmed, therefore, Ji Yao is ready to hold an auction when this incident has not been successfully handled, after all, the special feature of Xianjing will definitely attract a large number of powerful sects to participate in this auction, and at this time, Ji Yao is easier to make his own contacts, once he has connections, presumably in the area he is responsible for, business will be much better, then the high-level of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce will not give up on themselves easily.
After getting what he wanted from Ji Yao, Zhang Yuan returned to his room again, after all, Ji Yao may have a lot of things to do at this moment, after all, there was a dead person incident again, which also forced Ji Yao to advance the time of the auction as much as possible, there have already been two murders, Ji Yao can't be sure when the headquarters' handling opinions will arrive, so Ji Yao must hold an auction quickly, so that the sensation after the appearance of Xianjing will suppress this murder.
What Zhang Yuan got from Ji Yao was not only the news about the Cultivator Alliance, this time the appearance of Bai Yu also helped Ji Yao complete his promise to Zhang Yuan, in the conversation just now, Ji Yao also handed over the promised magic weapon to Zhang Yuan's hands, of course, as for the admission ticket to the auction that Zhang Yuan mentioned later, it was just Ji Yao's words, such a simple thing, of course Ji Yao would not prevaricate, after all, the fairy crystals were all obtained by Zhang Yuan with help of himself, and it was really simple to participate in the auction.
In addition to these, in fact, Zhang Yuan has some other gains, it is the ultimate goal of this trip to the source world, what kind of force should he establish to be able to help after the arrival of the final task, at this time, Zhang Yuan already has some preliminary ideas, although for the time being this is just an idea, and if you want to complete it, there are still many difficulties to solve, this is not a simple matter, but Zhang Yuan believes that as long as he works hard to do it, even if he really fails at that time, he will not regret it。
