Chapter 103: Killing with a Snap

***

Zhang Yuanqing copied the phone number but hesitated before dialing it, his expression uncertain.

Members of the Psychic Association were all lunatics, extremely dangerous. Associating with them was like dealing with a tiger. Zhang Yuanqing sighed in exhaustion; he wanted to be a good person, but he didn't have a choice.

No matter who got their hands on the List, whether it was the Five Elements Alliance, the Dark Rose Society, or even Black Impermanence and the Psychic Association, it would expose his identity as the heir to the Demon Lord.

What would happen once that was exposed?

The best-case scenario was being closely monitored, losing his freedom until they obtained what they wanted.

And this was assuming it fell into the hands of official organizations like the Five Elements Alliance or the Taiyi Sect.

If it ended up with the Dark Rose Society or an evil occupation, even if he was imprisoned under supervision, he would likely suffer inhumane torture, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The worst-case scenario, of course, was an early death.

So, obtaining the List was necessary. He wanted to stir up trouble because he didn't have full confidence in persuading the Master of Stop Killing Sect, and there was a lack of trust.

"As long as I handle it properly and make contact with the Psychic Association, it should be fine. It will be a headache during the general inspection."

But that was a matter for the future. He needed to solve the current problem. He made up his mind and dialed the "Blood-Maned Bun" mobile number.

"Beep, beep, beep."

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

After a few minutes, "Blood-Maned Bun" called back, and a deep adult male voice came through the speaker.

"Who is this?"

The voice was gloomy and gave off a sinister vibe.

"If I can get your contact information, of course, we're friends. At least we're of the same kind!" Zhang Yuanqing replied with a cheerful tone.

The line fell silent for a moment, and then there was a gruff "I'll give you two minutes."

This voice, with its dark and heavy tone, sounded menacing.

"I am a member of the Dark Rose Society, and our organization is looking for Black Impermanence. Perhaps we can cooperate," Zhang Yuanqing said calmly.

Blood-Maned Bun frowned and sneered, "Why should I cooperate with you?"

Zhang Yuanqing scoffed, "Weak people are like old rats, truly bringing shame to our kind. I'm different from you. I think every day about how to kill Fu Qingyang, gain fame, and earn a large bounty."

Blood-Maned Bun's breathing quickened, seemingly provoked.

Zhang Yuanqing continued, "This would be beneficial for you, another channel, another set of eyes and ears. Don't you want to make a name for yourself? Here's the deal: if I have valuable information, I'll send it to you via text message. I'll do the same, and you should too."

Blood-Maned Bun fell silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, but now, give me some useful information."

Zhang Yuanqing, with a serious tone, explained, "The Corrupted Holy Grail is having problems. Black Impermanence is seeking help from the Dark Rose Society, but there's a lack of trust between the two sides, so they're still testing each other."

After sharing this information, he added, "Because the information is crucial, and I have no way to verify it, I can't guarantee it's entirely true."

Blood-Maned Bun sighed in relief, admitting that the information was invaluable. He then confessed where he obtained the information and added, "Should I provide Black Impermanence's information to the other side, Chairman, please decide."

The flesh repayment, of course, Zhang Yuanqing thought, as he handed over the information.

Zhang Yuanqing had been worried about the "List" situation for a while. Initially, he had no clear plan to retrieve it. His idea was to ask for help from Stop Killing Sect. But because Black Impermanence had disappeared, he couldn't formulate a detailed plan and felt insecure.

Now, he had a bold idea. In addition to seeking assistance from Stop Killing Sect, he could also form an alliance with the enemy.

Stirring the waters.

Both the official organization and the Dark Rose Society, along with Black Impermanence, King Gu, and the Psychic Association, would be focused on the Holy Grail. At this moment, a master like Stop Killing Sect trying to retrieve the List would likely face less resistance.

"Try contacting someone from Stop Killing Sect."
