Secret Buyer-Chapter 161 - 134: Great Sect Invades!

"The bounty issued by my Grandmaster? What does that mean?"

Zhang Fusheng followed Old Ghost Chai, looking like he was supervising the cleaning staff as they worked.

Neither of them looked at each other; they walked and talked to themselves.

"A special bounty from the Black Net."

Old Ghost Chai whispered:

"Several major sects of ours have built an internal network called the Black Net, for communication among the sects, including trade and issuance of bounty missions."

Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow, the evil cult version of the Divine Net?

Old Ghost Chai stopped at the corner of the corridor and started sweeping the floor:

"Yesterday a mysterious person issued a bounty—of course, it was actually Yuan Feidao, Black Eye easily tracked it down."

"The bounty is to wipe out fourteen people from the Source Point Research Institute, leaving no one alive."

Pausing, Old Ghost Chai shrugged:

"The reward is really generous, one White Bone Lotus Seed, one dose of Purifying Marvelous Medicine, and the mission is so simple... I surely accepted it without hesitation."

Zhang Fusheng’s expression changed: Why would the Grandmaster kill people from the Research Institute??

He furrowed his brow and spoke:

"Abort it."

"Why?" Old Ghost Chai looked displeased: "I am here to assist you, but it doesn’t mean I have to listen to everything..."

His voice paused slightly as he remembered the instructions from Lord Mingyue before setting off, then he said indignantly:

"Suit yourself, if you want to abort, just abort, but I must remind you, Yuan Feidao issued a ’Public Bounty,’ I’m not the only one to accept it."

Zhang Fusheng’s expression became even more unpleasant, he pressed the intercom:

"Everyone, enter high alert status, we might encounter an attack soon, and inform teams 2 and 3, come immediately."

Releasing the button, Zhang Fusheng was deep in thought, his brow furrowed:

"Why does the Grandmaster want to kill the people from the Research Institute?"

Old Ghost Chai said inexplicably:

"He’s your Grandmaster, not mine, why ask me?"

Zhang Fusheng’s mouth twitched, thoughts running wild, suddenly thought of what Zhang Xiaoxi had said before.

The Research Institute came this time to survey the ’Dimensional Overlap Point.’

Is there a connection between the two events?

If not, that’s fine.

If there is...

Then it’s a very serious problem.

Without the interference of hostility, Zhang Fusheng’s thoughts sped up, his expression increasingly grave.

That old lady is an important chess piece inserted among the researchers, she cannot be allowed to die easily, moreover, that unlucky child Zhang Xiaoxi is also on the bounty list.

No.

Is she really such an unlucky child??

Zhang Fusheng squinted:

"Do you know who else has accepted the bounty?"

"Who knows."

Old Ghost Chai shrugged:

"But certainly quite a few, the number of sect followers in Chongyang City has been increasing recently... By the way, do you know the rumors about the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron?"

"I know, there are mysterious figures manipulating behind the scenes, the purpose is unknown."

Old Ghost Chai nodded:

"Speaking of which, have you joined the Public Security Bureau? Seems like you’re not in a low position? How did you manage that?"

Zhang Fusheng did not answer him, pondered for a moment, and then called Liu Yuan.

"Director Liu, there might be some situations here at the Research Institute, send a few more enforcement teams, better if you come personally."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yuan was somewhat surprised but didn’t delve into it, responding decisively.

As soon as the call ended, Zhang Fusheng saw doors to the rooms open—half an hour had passed.

The old lady was about to conduct a short meeting.

Frowning, Zhang Fusheng instructed Old Ghost Chai to leave first, his mind churning.

If there really is a cultist attack, it might cause a big commotion.

A big commotion?

It seemed like he thought of something.

"Maybe... it’s an opportunity?"

Zhang Fusheng’s expression relaxed slightly, a White Bone Lotus Seed, a Marvelous Medicine, these are things that could attract a Grandmaster to attack!

Would there be cultists of Grandmaster level in Chongyang City?

Yes, there surely would be.

After a brief contemplation, Zhang Fusheng had an idea in mind, his thoughts immersed into the Divine Realm, circulating within the Heaven and Earth Tablet,

then withdrew his heart that was tainted with Immortal Tao Rhyme and silently left an imprint on the original spot.

Without any substance to carry the Immortal Thoughts, this imprint wouldn’t last long.

But it’s enough.

...........

The numerous researchers soon arrived at the administrative meeting room on the lower floor, many large hotels would have a meeting room.

It was just that when entering, Lu Quanrui kept supporting Elder Yu, mumbling something, occasionally pointing at the distant Zhang Fusheng.

"Teacher, this Chongyang City is really unreliable, anyone can be arranged for your security..."

Lu Quanrui deliberately raised his voice:

"But rest assured, Teacher, I have already contacted Director He here, he said he’s on the way and will personally hold them accountable!"

Elder Yu glared at him:

"What are you doing? It’s Xiaoxi’s friend, is that necessary?"

Lu Quanrui’s expression hardened, he gave an awkward chuckle and said nothing.

As they entered the meeting room, Zhang Fusheng pulled Zhang Xiaoxi aside and softly said:

"Stay close to me from now on, there might be danger."

"Danger??" Zhang Xiaoxi and Chen Qingxue’s eyes widened, Zhang Fusheng nodded slightly but didn’t explain further.

This thing is hard to explain.

After all, according to Old Ghost Chai, the Black Net is a dark network for communication among those evil sects...

Zhang Xiaoxi and Chen Qingxue took their seats in the meeting room, Zhang Fusheng placed the Law Enforcement Officers on guard outside, then followed them into the meeting room, making sure to close the door.

He was responsible for this security, he had every reason to enter.

As expected, Elder Yu glanced at the young man without saying anything, sitting at the head of the long table, she tapped the table.

The researchers all looked at the old lady.

The old lady spoke in a deep voice:
