The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

After seeing that Song Gua and Yun Yang had finished their conversation.

Qin Zheng came to Shi Yang.

"Yunyang, Chiniu, I've made up my mind. I can't join the resistance for now. I need to resolve two things first: first, find the Chen family head and kill him; second, fulfill the mandate entrusted to me by the proxy."

Shi Yang was still so engrossed in the music that he couldn't pull himself away.

Yun Yang nodded.

"It's alright. Chi Niu and I entered the Huaxia administrative region this time to find that spot of light that left without permission, which has never happened before."

Now that we know it's the Actor's idea, we naturally respect the Actor's thoughts.

"You may decide for yourself when to join the resistance, or not to join them."

Qin Zheng clasped his hands in a traditional greeting to the two men.

Thank you for your understanding.

As he spoke, Qin Zheng took off Shi Yang's headphones.

"Shi Yang, it's your turn to speak!"

Shi Yang swallowed hard.

"Where to begin?"

Let's start from the beginning!

a long time.

Facing Qin Zheng, bandits, and the rebel leader.

Shi Yang spoke frankly and openly, revealing in detail the Shi family's plans in Xichuan City during this period.

Qin Zheng's body was trembling.

"Just to help you rise to power, for those mining areas, wilderness areas, industrial areas, and commercial territories, you had to kill so many people! You had to torture and kill my wife and daughters like that! Are you even human?!"

Shi Yang was terrified by the murderous aura emanating from Qin Zheng and hugged the speaker in fear.

"No, don't blame me. I... I'm just a puppet. The Shi family needed a mayor, and I just happened to have a clear path to promotion, so I was gradually lifted up. I also deeply regret what happened to your wife and daughter..."

Shi Yang's confession basically matched the bandits' previous speculations.

There are also some that Song Gua and his colleagues haven't yet discovered or deduced.

The mere mention of it sends chills down one's spine.

Qin Zheng immediately unleashed the Rasengan, raising it high above his head.

"So regrettable? Fine, then go and be buried with my wife and daughters!"

Just as Qin Zheng was about to make a move, a large, hairy hand grabbed his arm.

"Brother Qin, wait a moment."

Chi Niu chuckled and stood between Shi Yang and Qin Zheng.

"Brother Qin, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, that's too lenient for such a villain. How can it compare to the suffering he inflicted on your wife and daughters?"

Qin Zheng turned his head away.

"I had no intention of torturing or killing him."

"It's alright, leave it to me. I know a place that's perfect for avenging you."

Qin Zheng glanced at Shi Yang.

"Very well, with his sleazy appearance, he couldn't possibly have the wisdom of a mastermind. Let's leave him to Brother Red Ox to deal with."

Red Ox laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Trust me, leave it to me, you definitely won't regret it!"

As he spoke, Chi Niu grabbed Shi Yang and shoved him into his cannon barrel.

Similarly, he added a force field protection to Shi Yang, otherwise he would be blown in two if the cannon were fired.

"Get out of here!"

"Bang!!"

Shi Yang was launched.

Yun Yang approached Qin Zheng and asked, "Squad Leader Qin, what are your plans for the future?"

Qin Zheng looked towards Xichuan City, "Naturally, we must capture Patriarch Chen and kill him!"

Shi Yang has just revealed the position of the Chen family head.

He was imprisoned in the Shi family's resource warehouse.

This is definitely a great location.

The warehouse is the most heavily guarded place by each faction.

Upon hearing Qin Zheng's words, Song Gua's eyes lit up.

"Squad Leader Qin, let us help you!"

The bandits immediately understood and joined in the commotion.

"Eliminating these wicked villains is our bounden duty, a duty we bandits cannot shirk!"

"Squad Leader Qin is a man of honor and loyalty; it's only right that he helps those in need!"

"The Shi family warehouse, I'm here... Ugh! Ugh! (His mouth is covered by a bandit next to him)"

Qin Zheng clasped his hands in greeting to Song Gua.

"I appreciate the bandits' kindness, but I shouldn't have entrusted the task of capturing Shi Yang to you. I'll take revenge for Patriarch Chen myself."

Song Gua also followed his example and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Our acquaintance is a matter of fate. If we round it up, we are friends. How can I stand idly by when my friend is in danger? If I round it up, I would be heartless and ungrateful."

"no……"

"Stop talking, come on, let's plan how to empty the Shi family's warehouse, no, how to kill the Chen family head."

"Well……"

Song Gua glanced at Yun Yang and Chi Niu.

"Let's do it together."

Yun Yang pointed to himself with his fan.

"Should we go too?"

"Since you're already here, why not lend a hand? You want Qin Zheng and us to join you, right? You need to show some sincerity, right?"

Song Gua gave Monkey a wink.

Monkey King sat down next to him.

Seeing this, Red Ox sat down as well, "If my little cutie wants to go, then I'm naturally willing to accompany her."

Yun Yang gave a wry smile. "Alright, after punishing Patriarch Chen, Chi Niu and I really should leave Xichuan City. If we make too many moves in the same place, it will attract the attention of the judges."

"The Judge? I think I've heard that title more than once lately. Is he/she very powerful?"

"The so-called Judges are simply divine agents serving in the Federation!"

"More powerful than you phantom wielders?"

"That depends on the specific situation. As I have said before, Transcendent and Spiritual Illusion only represent the level of life evolution and can indirectly improve combat power to a certain extent, but it does not mean that they are necessarily stronger than those who have undergone Divine Transformation. It also depends on how an individual utilizes the Way of Spiritual Illusion."

Song Gua nodded.

In short, the higher the level of life evolution, the stronger it is, but when it comes to actual combat, it depends on how well it performs.

But this is in comparison to those who have undergone divine transformation!

It's clear that Yun Yang was being modest; the Spirit Illusionist is definitely not someone a third-tier professional can handle.

Otherwise, Qin Zheng wouldn't have been able to come and go in Xichuan City for so long without anyone being able to catch him.

"Actually, I have another question I'd like to ask."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Since there's a war on the moon, and it's an external enemy, why are you rebels against the Federation? At least the Federation is defending against external enemies, while you're causing trouble from within and betraying us. Isn't that a bit...?"

"Who told you that we, the rebels, are rebelling against the Federation?"

"What else could it be?"

"You are not one of my members, so you must not speak."

"Alright, let's plan how to get to the Shi family warehouse."

……

into the night.

Xichuan City, Shi Family.

In the family meeting hall, all the high-ranking members of the Shi family, including both the main and collateral branches, as well as relatives from both the inner and outer branches, were present.

Compared to the wealthy families in Yunshan City, the large families in first-tier cities are much larger in scale.

There were more than two hundred people present, all of whom could be considered high-ranking members of the family.

Because the internal clan network is too complicated.

Clan Chief Shi Jian was sitting in the main seat of the hall, looking worried.

People would come in every now and then to report things, but there was never any good news.

"Shi Yang is still missing. Because of Shi Yang's corruption case, all of our Shi family's officials in the government will face investigation by the disciplinary committee. This time, it will probably be a major blow..."

The eldest elder, Shi Ding, with his white hair, forcefully struck the ground with his cane.

"It's all those bandits' fault! How did they manage to sneak into Xichuan City, and so many of them at that!"

They started doing it without any warning!

We absolutely cannot swallow this loss. We can't handle the Federation, but do you think we can just let these petty bandits run rampant?
