A face formed from blood mist floated above the rim of the bowl, graceful and serene, and asked, "How did you meet him?" The human-blooded bun recounted in full detail how they had first met, how they had jointly delivered food orders, and how he had introduced him to the peak conference. "Yesterday, while he was delivering food orders inside the building, I concealed a tracking device on his electric bike. I've now pinpointed his whereabouts—just outside Jinshan City, at a hotel called Wuhen Inn." After speaking, the human-blooded bun offered his own insight: "North Moon—no, Kou Beiyue, being a trusted associate of the Prime Origin Immortal, must have come to me with a purpose. That purpose, I believe, is to reach you, the President of the Council." The blood-mist face responded slowly, "The Prime Origin Immortal has not yet reached the level to challenge me. If he wishes to find me through you, then you can no longer communicate with me at this moment." The human-blooded bun knelt on the ground, "This is precisely what I find puzzling. As for how to handle Kou Beiyue, I humbly request your decision." "The hotel with no trace... the blood mist-faced man pondered for a few seconds, then asked, 'What is Kou Beiyue like in temperament and character?' Though he didn't understand why the head would care so much about the character of such a minor figure, the person who carried the blood bun answered without hesitation: 'He's fond of boasting, overly naive, not very intelligent, and has little worldly experience—more like a fire master than a seductive spirit creature. He's competitive and spirited, but not bloodthirsty or cruel; I've never seen him kill anyone. 'Working with him is simple and quite pleasant.' The blood mist-faced man gave a short, amused 'hmm,' unsure whether it was mockery or light-hearted teasing. 'You clearly have a deep affection for him,' he said. The blood bun was startled and quickly pledged his loyalty: 'My subordinate is utterly devoted to the head. If the head wishes for Kou Beiyue to perish, then I will personally lead the team to execute him today.' This time, the tone of the blood mist-faced man was genuine mockery. 'To die for it—well, I know who Kou Beiyue really serves. His people are accustomed to interacting with the lawful, The chairman implies that Kou Beiyue has someone else behind him? Without the chairman's words, we'd dare not even ask. I said, "Then, what should be done about Kou Beiyue? Should I continue to play my part, pretending to be friendly with him?" The blood-mist-faced man slowly nodded, as if pondering, and said, "The Color-Desire Commander has been romancing women all over Songhai, only to have his headquarters taken over by the Five Elements Alliance. Ever devoted to love and fiercely resentful, he will surely take strong action against the Five Elements Alliance. Why not add a spark? We should inform the Color-Desire Commander of the fact that Kou Beiyue is hiding at Wuhen Hotel in Jinshan City." Now everyone knows that Kou Beiyue is merely a loyal lackey of Yuan Shishen. With this move, she's employing a strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf—sending the Desire God General to confront Yuan Shishen. To retaliate against Songhai's branch, targeting Yuan Shishen is undoubtedly the best choice, since he's the branch's prized asset, of sufficient weight, and unlike Fu Qingyang, who is simply too strong to be matched. Well, actually—Kou Beiyue isn't acting alone. The Chairman has achieved a triple victory with this one move. It's hard to tell whether the Chairman truly intends to see Yuan Shishen fall or the Desire God General perish. Set aside the essentials for daily life, the middle-aged man who had gained weight remained downstairs. The young man, wearing a baseball cap, ascended the handrail stairs to the second floor and knocked on the master bedroom door. "Come in!" a voice from inside the room sounded dull and heavy. The young man pushed open the door. The bedroom was spacious, featuring an inner hall with a wine cabinet, a tea table, and a television. Facing the television, a middle-aged man with a slender build and dark complexion sat on the sofa, dressed in a silk nightgown, his legs bare and bare, intently watching the news. Clearly, he was the god of sensual desire. Beside him, a young woman with a graceful appearance leaned gently against him, her eyes soft and glistening, her cheeks flushed as though just recently blessed. The god of sensual desire gently patted her face and said, "Go downstairs and find your husband." The young woman rose obediently, "Yes, sir!" and left the bedroom with an oddly graceful gait. As the woman departs, the deity of desire rises and walks to the window, gazing toward a distant villa, saying, "The residents here are all wealthy merchants, and there are many beautiful women. While I was attending to business by the window a moment ago, I noticed one particularly attractive woman inside that building. We'll move in there tomorrow." The young man wearing a baseball cap hesitates and speaks softly, "Lord Deity, it's not a good time to move now—Yi Jing is currently unstable. The Five Elements Alliance from Mingshui has sent us word. The quieter we are, the safer we'll be." The deity of desire suddenly bursts into rage, shouting, "But I need women—more and more! You know, one woman simply cannot satisfy me." The deity has a strong, almost obsessive passion for beauty, not only in terms of physical attraction but also in quantity. He requires that beautiful women be constantly present around him, not necessarily engaged in intimate encounters every day, but in sufficient numbers. Otherwise, he cannot soothe the constant, growing intensity of his desires—this is more a matter of spiritual fulfillment than physical satisfaction. The young man immediately lowered his head, unable to speak. The Color-Desire General took a deep breath, softened his tone, and asked, "Any intelligence gathered?" The young man reported in a steady voice: "It's said that the case you've taken has been assigned to Fu Qingyang. He originally oversaw the Kangyang District, but after being promoted to the rank of Elder, he was transferred to the Patrol Unit—yet he remains in Kangyang District. The official authorities are offering a reward of five million for any leads to you, regardless of which faction you're aligned with. I'm now so hesitant that I've stopped reaching out to other organizations' freelance agents. Additionally, the Songhai Branch has activated its first-level combat readiness status." The Color-Desire General's expression darkened: "First-level combat readiness? Does Fu Qingyang intend to fight me to the very end?" The Commander of the Army has been stationed in the northwest, having withdrawn from the main headquarters after nearly being killed by the King of the Magi-Eye. He has since been primarily active in the north, frequently clashing with the lawful, order-seeking agents of the various northern branches. Although he has also been wanted for capture, most of the time, the two parties engage in a series of back-and-forth skirmishes that eventually settle without resolution. The official spiritual realm travelers, while unable to eliminate him, won't simply keep bouncing around day after day—thus, a delicate balance is generally maintained. However, the approach of the Songhai branch differs from that of the north: it carries an unwavering determination to press on, refusing to compromise. This means he either has to settle into a low-key existence or step down from Songhai. Given the abundance of beautiful women and the vibrant prosperity of Songhai, the Color-Desire Divine General does not wish to leave. Upon hearing this news, he feels somewhat annoyed. "General, it now seems clear that a city as prominent as Songhai will not be willing to compromise. What shall we do next?" asked the young man with the baseball cap. The Color-Desire Divine General replied, "The southern contingent still lives too comfortably. They probably haven't yet grasped what a Divine General or a Saint truly is." The relationship between the Lawful and the Free factions is this—among the middle and lower levels, evil professions act like mice in the drains, constantly yielding and avoiding the official institutions. But at the higher levels, Free professionals are no longer afraid of the Lawful; in fact, the Lawful leaders deliberately steer clear of the Free. As a 6th-level Enchanter-Adept, a peak Saint-Realm traveler, and a Lord of Desire, the Color-Desire Divine General is universally recognized as a major figure wherever he goes—undoubtedly a high-level player. "Since twenty-one years ago, when the president of the Southern Branch of the Spiritual Energy Council passed away, the King of Gushu and the Judge of Intrigue engaged in constant internal struggles for the presidency, and as a result, the Free faction in the southeast coastal region has steadily weakened," said the Color-Desire Divine General with a cold smile. "The Lawful travelers of the Songhai Branch have been so relaxed for so long that they truly treat themselves like stalks of green onions—now, I shall be the one to restore their sense of fear!" The young man in the polo cap, however, lacked such confidence, expressing concern: "Yet, the Mag "The Color-Thirsty General scoffed, 'Don't compare me to that dim-witted mage-eyed fool. First, my rank isn't so impressive that it's making the six senior elders of Songhai fret and plot nonstop. Second, if the mage-eyed one were just a little less high-minded—instead of acting like a saintly prima donna—then even the elders of Songhai would have to kill half of him just to catch him.' The cap-wearing youth immediately replied, 'Who's right! There's another piece of information...' The Color-Thirsty General asked, 'Speak!' 'I've learned from someone under the King of Wushe's command that the person named Kou Beiyue, listed on the human-ranking reward list, is actually hiding in Jinshan City. His address is the Wuhen Hotel in the suburban area of Jinshan City.' The cap-wearing youth added, 'He's no ordinary man—he's a loyal agent of the Prime Origin Deity!' Though the Color-Thirsty General showed no interest in Kou Beiyue himself, he did know the name Wuhen Hotel. The very woman he had longed for was staying at the Wuhen Hotel in Jinshan City. He had already After the 615 Summit, the Desire God immediately went to visit Xue Yanzi, offering two artifacts of Saint-tier quality as compensation, inviting her to hunt down Xiao Yuan. But she declined once again. That cold-hearted, sharp-witted woman showed an astonishing level of leniency toward her former subordinate. "Kou Beiyue is also from Wuhu Hotel—he's a loyal aide of the Prime Origin Immortal. Therefore, Xiao Yuan must have known the Prime Origin Immortal as well. This is indeed a promising lead…" Thinking of that exceptionally graceful and pure, unstained white lotus-like figure, the Desire God felt a surge of passion rise in his abdomen, his mouth growing dry. Taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress his desire and said, "Let's hold off on the Jinshan City matter for now. I have a plan in mind. You'll gather a few freelance agents for me. I'd like to play a game with the Songhai Branch." "... After concluding his day-long undercover patrols, Zhang Yuanqing, draped in the splendid golden and crimson twilight, joined Guan Ya, Li Dongze, Jiang Jingwei, Qingteng, and others, and returned to Fu Jiawan by business vehicle. As they ascended the double staircases, they reached the second-floor conference room. Fu Qingyang, dressed in a white suit, had already been seated at the far end of the long conference table, waiting patiently. The wooden table was laden with steaming dishes—Fu's senior had prepared a dinner for everyone. "Thank you all for coming," Fu Qingyang said, his expression stern, "I've summoned you for a brief meeting. I've just gathered all the materials on the Lord of Desire and have conducted a psychological profile of his character." With that, he picked up the remote control and turned on the projector. On the white screen, a dense array of cases appeared. "These are materials sent over from the major branches in the north. We've compiled most of the information on the Lord of Lust—from transcendental to sage status—within just one day. It seems the colleagues in the north are hoping we'll keep the Lord of Lust forever in Longhai." While speaking, everyone had already turned their attention to the screen, carefully reviewing the content. The records detailed the Lord of Lust's achievements, including but not limited to battles, crimes, and items used. Observing his subordinates intently reading through the materials, Fu Qingyang said: "The Lord of Lust's need for women has now reached an uncontrollable level. His desires cannot be satisfied by just one or two women. Looking at the reports of the several instances where his hiding places were exposed, each of those locations has had ten or more female victims. He won't be able to hold out much longer—he will definitely commit another crime. Moreover, we need to strengthen our monitoring of certain special venues to prevent the Lord of Lust from concealing himself there." Jiang Jingwei raised her hand: "Fu Elder, do you mean special venues specifically refer to women's restrooms?" Fu Qingyang was momentarily stunned. "Why do you think it's the women's restroom?" Zhang Yuanqing was deeply surprised. "Because there are so many women there, and they all have to take off their pants." Jiang Jingwei felt confident that her analysis made perfect sense. "Then, could you think again—where are there many women, and all of them have to take off their pants?" Zhang Yuanqing gently guided the pure-hearted junior high student. "The bathhouse?" Fu Qingyang cleared his throat, timely interrupting the conversation between the two: "What setting matters less, Jingwei—this isn't within your scope of responsibility." The young elder continued: "Besides indulgence, the two most prominent traits in the Color-Desire General's profile are: self-assurance and a strong sense of retaliation. "I believe he will soon target the Five Elements Alliance with retaliatory actions. Starting today, all team members below the rank of captain will work from home; we will reconvene only when there's further action. "Qingteng, Bai Long, and Guan Ya—please relocate to Fu's Village for temporary residence." "As long as the Color-Thirst God-General dares to kill an official envoy, I'll find a way to locate him." Is that really true—just because he dares to kill an official envoy, he'll definitely be found? Where does his confidence come from? Could it be that secret artifact he revealed earlier? Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts flowed swiftly. "Ancient War God: Active Skill — Triple-Headed, Eight-Armed (Note: This is literally as described — with three heads surveying six directions, six ears listening to eight sides, and eight arms each wielding a divine weapon; exceptionally skilled in group combat.) Passive Skill — Enchanting Pattern (Note: An advanced version of the Eye of Enchantment; when a Supreme Rank Ling Realm practitioner directly gazes upon the pattern, mild exposure causes mental collapse, severe exposure leads to mental disorientation.)" This was the first time Zhang Yuanqing had gained a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the Enchanting Spirit Beast profession — despite already being quite familiar with it. After reviewing these skill descriptions, Zhang Yuanqing's mind settled on a single thought: War Sovereign. The Enchanting Spirit Beast profession seems inherently designed for warfare — bloodthirsty, fiercely aggressive, sustaining itself through constant combat, never weary, and with robust physical prowess ensuring it can charge through battlefronts unimpeded. Mist, Triple-Headed, Eight-Armed, and Enchanting Pattern — these are the tools that enable victory against overwhelming numbers. The more enemies, the greater their advantage. It's no wonder the Sovereign Realm's title is called the Ancient War God—back in ancient times, single-handedly advancing through thousands of troops, making seven forays and seven returns, was nothing short of routine. One-on-one duels against entire armies? A breeze. Now that I think about it, how formidable is the Mage-Eyed King? When I see him again, I'll definitely bow down and pay homage to his strategy. Hmm, after clearing the Killing Campaigns' dungeons, my authority now stands equal to that of the Steward, granting me access to detailed records of all native Realm Travelers who have achieved the status of Transcendent and then Sage. I should find a chance to look into that... Zhang Yuanqing quietly resolved. As he was speaking, the door to the conference room was tapped, and then a young rabbit-dressed woman entered, holding a smartphone, and whispered, "Master, there's a call!" Fu Qingyang answered the phone, leaned in to listen, and the expressionless face that had been frozen instantly took on a layer of frost.
