In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 275 Things are going to change!

Xie Lingxin finally understood why that old witch had suddenly attacked him back in the Great Zhou Domain.

It was indeed Bai Shenji who instigated it.

And it wasn't because of what I had previously thought, but because of a grudge against the Bai family.

It's because of something about myself.

Were they the two ancient scripture fragments that were snatched from Labubu?
Both fragments contained only two characters.

One is "Heng'e", and the other is "Dragon King".

The original purpose of going to the Dragon Palace Dead Zone was to see the real dragon and try to complete the ancient scriptures.

Having seen the true form of the old Dragon King, he no longer had that thought.

I haven't completely given up hope, but I feel there's no need to rush.

If it is indeed as he thinks, and this is a fragment of "Journey to the West," then it is not something he can touch in his current state.

Unexpectedly, other fragments had already been discovered by others.

They also tracked down Labubu and the Leng family.

However, they probably haven't deciphered the scripture yet, and don't even know much about it.

Unfortunately, in the memory fragments that Wangcai obtained, it seems that the Jing Shi Qi had a falling out with Bai Shen Ji.

He had anticipated that Bai Shen would cause trouble, so he left early on.

They've probably already left Far East Star; they're certainly fast.

Otherwise, we could get more information from him.

At the very least, find out who this "master" he's talking about is.

Before the problem of the gold and jade was resolved, another "master" appeared, coveting what was on him.

I've really gotten myself into a lot of trouble...

No, there's another one: the mysterious titled powerhouse who hired someone to kill him.

Whether it's the "mastermind" or the "mastermind," their background is probably no less impressive than Jin Yuxiang's, and perhaps even much more so.

How much did you get this time?

Xie Lingxin looked at Wangcai, who was lying on the table licking its fur.

"Ow!"

Master, you have at least 60 years of cultivation!
This guy surnamed Bai is truly heartless and insane. I don't know how many people he has killed. Since I became a god, I haven't eaten blood food for countless years. But now, he's given me a good meal!

Xie Lingxin looked at her strangely: "You've eaten blood food before?"

"Ow!"

Wangcai noticed that his gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous, so he quickly waved his paws.

Master! Don't misunderstand! I only eat prey caught in the mountains. Later, when my intelligence was awakened and I became a deity, I ate the sacrificial offerings from worshippers! But I have never eaten a human!

You must believe me, Master!
Xie Lingxin looked away: "I didn't say you ate it, what's the rush?"

That's what you think!

Wangcai muttered to himself.

Thankfully, it really hadn't eaten it before...

"Sixty years of cultivation? How much cultivation do you have now?"

Xie Lingxin asked curiously again.

He knew that Wangcai was in the Divine Realm and its strength was comparable to that of a titled being, but he didn't know just how strong it was.

"Ow~"

Wangcai puffed out its chest and let out a proud howl.

Master, with this harvest, I now have 300 years of cultivation!
"Ow~"

At most, I'll be promoted in another 60 years!

"Hmm? What happens when you gods ascend to higher realms?"

"Ow~"

Master, I am now the God of a Hundred Miles, equivalent to the local gods of mountains and land.

If he were to advance further, his divine realm would expand to over a thousand miles, making even the legendary City God no more than that!

Wangcai's chest was so prominent that it was almost as high as his head.

City God?

Xie Lingxin pondered, realizing that she hadn't seen any reference points and had no way to estimate it.

However, with over 300 years of cultivation, one has reached a level comparable to that of a grandmaster or a Dharma master.

If it breaks through, I really won't be afraid of any aristocratic families anymore.

That's a trump card...

With a clearer understanding in mind, Xie Lingxin felt less pressured by the powerful families.

……

After some deliberation, Xie Lingxin went to work as usual.

As I approached the Leizu Temple, I suddenly felt something was amiss.

Taking a few steps back and looking up, I discovered that the statue of Leizu in front of the Leizu Temple was gone.

I was startled.

He grabbed a passing sanitation worker and asked, "What's going on? Where's the statue of Lei Zu?"

The sanitation worker looked up, a hint of indignation in his eyes: "Don't you know? Our bureau is moving."

"move place?"

"It's about the new district. Merging four cities isn't easy; the first step is to integrate the various departments."

"The location of the new Environmental Protection Bureau has been decided. It's not far, right in Tonggu Bay!"

"Alright, I have other things to do. If you want to know more, go ask Old Jiang."

The sanitation worker shook his head and hurried away.

Xie Lingxin frowned as she walked into the station.

It was discovered that everyone in the department seemed to be in low spirits.

Upon arriving at the ancient site management office, Jiang Daqiu was also holding his phone, looking worried and sighing.

"Uncle Jiang, what exactly happened?"

"I heard our bureau is moving to Tonggu Bay?"

Xie Lingxin sat down next to him and asked anxiously. Jiang Daqiu sighed: "You know too? That's right, it's Tonggu Bay, and you know that place very well."

Could it be...?

"This is the old site of Leigong Village!"

Xie Lingxin was startled: "Why is this? It's not far from Leigong Village, and that place is the middle of nowhere. It's one thing for the new bureau to be located in Leizhou, but why this place of all places?"

Jiang Daqiu glanced at him: "The middle of nowhere? Have you forgotten? There's a collapsing domain there. Judging by the time, it's about time."

"A new spirit mineral ore will appear within a month at most."

Xie Lingxin recalled the Great Black Mountain Domain.

"That's why?"

"What do you think? That's a spirit mineral mine; who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?"

Jiang Daqiu curled his lip: "It was fine before, after all, it was not easy to cross the line. But now it's perfect. The Federation is going to establish a new district and merge the four cities. Now that we have an excuse, everyone wants to take a bite."

"Can……"

Xie Lingxin always felt that this was not something Fatty Orange would do.

He asked it out loud.

"Do you think this is something that Director Dai can decide alone?"

Jiang Daqiu shook his head and lowered his voice, saying, "With the merger of the four cities, the Environmental Protection Bureau will also be affected. Do you think our Director Dai will still be the director of the new bureau?"

Xie Lingxin was startled: "Who is that? It can't be that Jin guy from the East China Sea, can it?"

According to his understanding, among the environmental protection bureaus of these four cities, the one in Donghai City is the strongest, and Jin Luochuan also has the strength of a title-level bureau.

Jiang Daqiu glanced outside and whispered, "None of these four cities are it!"

"I have inside information that some leaders of the new bureau will be parachuted in from above!"

"Isn't this guy trying to steal the fruits of others' labor?"

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but swear.

Jiang Daqiu sighed, "Who says otherwise? Our city has a newly discovered spirit mineral mine."

"Next to us in the East Sea is the Towering Pagoda, and also a Dragon Palace Dead Zone,"

"A domain has also been discovered at the border of Zhanzhou and Maozhou, and I heard that its level is not low."

"Tsk, this new district is a piece of fat meat, everyone wants a bite!"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Is this matter already settled?"

Jiang Daqiu shook his head: "There hasn't been an official notification yet, but it's pretty much a done deal."

"Didn't you see when you came? The statue of Lei Zu has been moved away."

"Moreover... Director Dai may have offended someone. I overheard him arguing with someone on the phone before. It seems that he is not only unfit to be the new director, but may even be transferred out of the Environmental Protection Bureau!"

"boom!"

Xie Lingxin slammed her hand on the table.

He knew it must be something Fatty Orange had mentioned last time; he had already taken action.

And those scions of prominent families also responded.

They truly are a prestigious family; their influence and connections are so extensive.

"Wasn't it someone from the bureau who moved the Lei Zu statue?"

Jiang Daqiu nodded and said helplessly, "They are people from the city. They came this morning. Director Dai was also there. We argued with them for a while, but we couldn't fight city hall. They're probably making a scene at the city government now."

She then stared at him: "You little brat, do you know something?"

Xie Lingxin retorted, "Uncle Jiang, with your excellent information network, how could you not know?"

"...So you knew all along."

Jiang Daqiu said seriously, "Don't be impulsive. Even if Director Dai is really transferred, as long as you're here, there's still hope. These are Director Dai's exact words."

"If you also fall into this vortex, not only will Director Dai lose all hope, but our bureau will probably be torn to pieces and swallowed whole!"

Although Xie Lingxin's expression was not good, she still nodded: "I know."

Jiang Daqiu sighed, "Actually, it's not just Director Dai and us; other departments are in similar situations. Even Wang Yinglan, the city government official, probably won't be able to keep her position as city government official."

"The most likely scenario is that he's being promoted in name only, but demoted in reality, and transferred to a less demanding position."

"Leizhou... is about to undergo a major change!"

……

Municipal Security Bureau.

"Captain Liu, someone else is missing!"

Liu Eryu frowned as he flipped through the case files while listening to his subordinates' reports.

Where are we this time?

The subordinate replied, "Tonggu Bay!"

Liu Eryu paused, then looked up: "Tonggu Bay?"

She subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Not long ago, the city began to see a series of missing persons cases.

Later, the environmental protection bureau resolved the issue in the western region, and several departments conducted a joint investigation, only to discover that these disappearances were all related to that Bai Shenji.

This guy went so far as to create pollution in the West District, but nobody expected it to be just a cover-up.

He used the pollution in the West District to attract everyone's attention, while he himself hid in the shadows, robbing and hunting ordinary people.

By the time they discovered it, the number of victims had reached an alarming level.

After the Bai family was destroyed, they had tracked down some of Bai Shenji's whereabouts, but the clues suddenly went cold, as if they had vanished into thin air.

The trail went cold at Tonggu Bay.

Could it be Bai Shenji again?
Who is missing?

The subordinate said, "It's not just one, there's Xie Laogua, Xie Niqiu... It's strange, dozens of people disappeared at once! And they all have the surname Xie!"

"Oh, right, these people all belong to the Xie clan, which used to be a small clan in Leigong Village,"

"In reality, there is no longer any cohesion. Only an ancestral hall has been preserved. In name, it is still a clan."

Due to historical reasons, these small clans are ubiquitous, which is not surprising.

Liu Eryu's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up.

I thought to myself, "Oh no!"

Although there was no basis for it, she felt that this was aimed at Xie Lingxin!
Her sister often talks about her best friend!
