Immortal Martial Eternal Life: Starting from the Heaven Swallowing Demon Tree
Chapter 111 The Inner Ghost
Chapter 111 The Inner Ghost
"Blood Demon Cult? Say!"
When Ye Jingtian heard this, the smile on his face restrained, and he asked.
"Actually, this news was learned during the encirclement and suppression of Tian Yunzong. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this news."
Qin Yuan laid the groundwork first.
After all, this news is aimed directly at the several major palaces in Guyunzhou. This one is not good, and it may cause a lot of turmoil.
"But it's okay to say! As for whether it is true or not, you will know after checking."
Seeing this, Ye Jingtian became more serious. It seemed that Qin Yuan really knew the incredible information.
"According to that evil cultivator, before we left, they got the news, and the person who sent them the message was a man called the old prince!"
Qin Yuan said.
"Old prince?!"
Ye Jingtian's pupils twitched violently, his expression serious.
Although he knew that the news was extremely shocking after seeing Qin Yuan's foreshadowing before, he still didn't expect that it would be involved with the palace.
"Which palace is the prince?"
Ye Jingtian asked in a deep voice.
"That evil cultivator doesn't know his specific identity, and even whether it's a code name or not."
Qin Yuan said.
"Being able to know our actions in advance, this person's identity is definitely not low, but leaking information to the Blood Demon Cult is a serious crime, and it is impossible to use his real identity."
Ye Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
Although the Fourth Division of the Golden Knife Battalion has people placed by various major forces, but this time the encirclement and suppression of Tianyunzong, they did not inform the commander-in-chief until before the action.
As for the centurions and other golden sword guards who went further down, they all knew their targets when they reached the Tianyun Sect.
"Director, the evil cultivators of Tianyun Sect didn't get the news a little in advance. I estimate that they got the news at least half a month."
Qin Yuan heard the words and said.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the people involved in this operation. Judging from Elder Qi's information, the Blood Demon Cult was preparing to sacrifice the entire Tianyun Peak with blood.
In other words, those who did not participate in this action had a bigger problem!
"So, I was noticed when I sent someone to investigate the Sky Cloud Sect?"
In Ye Jingtian's eyes, there was a sharp light flickering.
In this way, the scope of investigation and discussion is greatly reduced. It is only necessary to find out which people are inserted by those palaces.
"This matter must be reported to the Lord General."
Immediately, Ye Jingtian got up and walked quickly towards the main hall.
Qin Yuan returned to Yunhai Building and practiced step by step.
Slaughtering sword gesture, nine transformations of the true spirit, drawing the sword and chopping, berserk transformation, soul refining and so on.
After reaching the top of his cultivation base, Qin Yuan focused on polishing these secret martial arts.
……
a few days later.
time.
"Junior Brother Qin, are you free today?"
Zhou Qingfeng quickly walked up to the ninth floor. Obviously, he was going to meet the old man of the Zhou family.
"of course."
Qin Yuan made preparations a long time ago, and left the Golden Knife Camp with Zhou Qingfeng, and drove away on horseback.
However, Zhou Qingfeng did not go to Zhou's mansion, but to a certain direction of the city.
"Senior brother Zhou, the old man doesn't live in the mansion?"
Qin Yuan asked a little strangely.
He didn't think that the Zhou family wanted to do anything to him. Of course, even if the Zhou family really had evil intentions, with his current strength, he could overwhelm everything.
Looking at the entire ancient Yunzhou, the only thing that Qin Yuan could fear was Zhuge Canghai, the chief general.
In addition, Qin Yuan is not afraid even of those generals, or those royal families.
"The old man has been living in the ancestral house on the east side all these years, and it's much quieter there. If you go to the master's house, I'm afraid everyone from all walks of life will come over."
Zhou Qingfeng came to his senses and explained with a smile.
Qin Yuan nodded, admiring the scenery along the way while walking.
Speaking of which, it has been several months since I came to Fucheng, and Qin Yuan has not seen the scenery of Fucheng yet.
"Third son, how many of you played truant again?!"
"When I catch you and send you back, see if your parents don't beat you to death!"
"Run away..."
When passing by a private school, several naughty children were running wildly with their schoolbags in their arms, and their laughter spread far and wide, while a master was panting after him.
Although the entire people of the Dali Dynasty worshiped martial arts, it did not mean that cultural education was not important. After all, the vast majority of people could hardly make achievements in martial arts.
Of course, those who can settle down in Fucheng and can still afford to study are those who have some wealth, at least they have no worries about food and clothing, and don't have to worry about making a living.
At about noon, Qin Yuan followed Zhou Qingfeng to the east of the mansion, and an ancient mansion with a sense of time caught their eyes.
On the mansion, there are two large characters: Zhou Mansion!
"Brother Qin Yuan!"
When he came to the Zhou Mansion, a figure greeted him immediately, it was Zhou Junwu.
"long time no see!"
Looking at Zhou Junwu, whom he had known since Qingshui City, Qin Yuan got off his horse and walked away with a smile.
Although only a few months have passed, Qin Yuan feels like it has been many years.
This feeling is naturally related to Qin Yuan's experience and changes in cultivation.
For Zhou Junwu, it may just be a few months of penance.
But Qin Yuan, from slaying monsters in Wandu Mountain, to killing catastrophes in Necromancer Ridge, and then to the destruction of Tianyun Sect, it can be said that he fought all the way, and rarely stopped to rest.
"Qin Yuan!"
When Qin Yuan entered the mansion, he saw a familiar figure again.
"Master!"
Qin Yuan's expression brightened, and his smile became even wider. The person who came was actually Zhou Guyang.
"Although I knew for a long time that you are not a thing in the pool, I still didn't expect that you would come to this point in just a few months."
Zhou Guyang looked at Qin Yuan, who seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Qin Yuan left Qingshui City, he was only at the level of true martial arts, but now Zhou Guyang feels that he is stronger and more terrifying than the head of the main family.
"It's thanks to the care of the museum owner at the beginning. By the way, are the deputy museum owner and coach Zhang alright?"
Qin Yuan asked about Zhang Qingshan and others.
"Since the disaster of the Blood Demon Cult, the Golden Knife Camp has sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, and they are all fine."
Zhou Guyang said with a smile, if it wasn't for the fact that the martial arts hall couldn't leave, Zhang Qingshan and the others also wanted to come this time.
During the chat, a group of people came to the main hall.
As Zhou Qingfeng said, this house is quite clean, except for a few servants, there are only two figures there.
Above the main seat was a white-haired old man with a rosy complexion that could not be seen in the twilight.
The person on the left is in the prime of life, full of vigor and blood, mighty and uncommon, and one can see that he is either rich or noble.
"Qin Yuan, this is the old man of my Zhou family, and this is the head of my Zhou family!"
Zhou Guyang introduced to Qin Yuan.
"I have met Mrs. Zhou, and Patriarch Zhou!"
Qin Yuan clasped his fists in salute to his juniors.
Mrs. Zhou, named Zhou Baihe, lived a long life. He is over 120 years old now.
The Patriarch of the Zhou family, named Zhou Gulong, was the eldest among Zhou Guyang's generation, and possessed extraordinary strength, even ranking high in Fucheng.
"Qin Yuan, although it's the first time I've met you, I've heard a lot about you."
Zhou Gulong smiled and motioned Qin Yuan to take a seat, with an extremely easy-going demeanor, as if treating his own family.
"Qin Xiaoyou, I have no intention of inviting you here today. I just heard from General Zhuge that you are about to kill the demon division, so I wanted to meet you."
After Old Master Zhou waved his servants to leave, he said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I have been taken care of by the owner of the museum a lot, and I should have visited the house long ago, but I have not been able to spare time, please don't blame the old man!"
Qin Yuan apologized with a smile.
"It's all a family, so it's okay to see what's wrong and not to be surprised. Besides, young people should focus on cultivation, so that they can have a great future."
Zhou Gulong waved his hands and smiled.
"It's almost time, let's have lunch."
After chatting, Mrs. Zhou got up, and the group went to eat.
"Qin Xiaoyou, you are about to kill the demon division, and my Zhou family can't help you much."
"I heard that you are interested in the inheritance of the Five Elements Ancient Sect and the blood essence of demons, so I specially ordered people to collect some gadgets, you can't refuse."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mrs. Zhou waved and someone brought three wooden boxes.
The first wooden box was opened, and there was a stack of gold tickets, all of which had a denomination of one million gold grades. Judging from this thickness, it might be hundreds of millions.
The second wooden box was opened, and there were ten bottles of blood neatly placed inside. The crystal clear blood was demon essence.
However, these ten bottles of demonic blood are extremely pure, and in a trance, you can still see the demonic form.
Whether it is the demon blood refined by Qin Yuan himself, or the demon blood from Wanbao Pavilion, it is not as pure as these ten bottles of demon blood.
The third wooden box was opened, and it was the size of a palm, with only half of the ancient jade pendant on it. On the jade pendant, there was a word [五].
"This jade pendant is related to the Five Elements Ancient Sect?"
Compared with the golden tickets and ten bottles of demon blood, Qin Yuan cared more about the half jade pendant.
Because Qin Yuan sensed special fluctuations from this half piece of jade pendant, which is the same as the five elements, such as the same pulse.
For Qin Yuan, the follow-up complete exercises are his top priority.
He couldn't pin all his hopes on Taoist Tianyou.
This is also the reason why he chose to take up the post of Tianlongwei.
Now, Qin Yuan was overjoyed to see the old man Zhou actually took out an ancient jade pendant related to the Five Elements Ancient Sect.
"That's right, according to rumors, the original owner of this half of the jade pendant is the elder of the Five Elements Ancient Sect."
"After the Five Elements Ancient Sect was destroyed, and the people's fortunes fell, they sold this half of the jade pendant. My ancestors of the Zhou family saw it and bought it back."
Seeing Qin Yuan's expression, Mrs. Zhou knew that he had got the right chips and told the origin of the jade pendant.
"The younger generation accepts Mrs. Zhou's wishes. In the future, if the Zhou family has anything to do, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
Qin Yuan accepted the three ancient boxes and expressed his promise.
The Zhou family deliberately set up this situation today, probably because of his promise.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Gulong and the others were all overjoyed when they heard about it, and they continued to be courteous.
Because what they did today was indeed as Qin Yuan guessed, they wanted to draw Qin Yuan closer.
Originally, it developed according to the normal situation. After Qin Yuan entered Fucheng, the Zhou family would provide millions of gold subsidies every year to win Qin Yuan over.
But who would have thought that Qin Yuan had risen rapidly after only a few months in the Golden Knife Camp, and by now, he was already qualified to go to kill demons.
This rate of rise is unbelievable.
Naturally, since Qin Yuan had different identities, the Zhou family had to pay more bargaining chips in order to close the relationship between Qin Yuan and the Zhou family.
If only relying on the friendship of the martial arts school in Qingshui City and the million gold, the relationship between the two parties will stop there after Qin Yuan becomes the demon slaying envoy.
Fortunately, the treasures they collected allowed Qin Yuan to accept his love smoothly. In this way, the stronger Qin Yuan is in the future, the greater the benefit to the Zhou family.
"It's Shen Shi, the old man, the head of the Zhou family, the head of the museum, then I will take my leave first."
After chatting for a while, Qin Yuan got up to say goodbye.
"Okay, Qingfeng, you and Qin Xiaoyou go back to the Golden Knife Camp together."
After old master Zhou and others persuaded him to stay, he said to Zhou Qingfeng.
"it is good!"
Immediately, Zhou Qingfeng and Qin Yuan got on their horses and walked in the direction of the Golden Knife Camp.
"As long as there is no chaos and no disasters, my Zhou family will be safe and sound for hundreds of years."
Watching Qin Yuan and Zhou Qingfeng disappear into the street, Zhou Baihe's vicissitudes face was filled with excitement.
At the age of 16, he was able to kill demons. Looking at the entire Ten Kingdoms of Nanling, he couldn't find a second one.
Even if Qin Yuan failed the trial of the demon slaying envoy this year, he would definitely be able to become the demon slaying envoy next year.
And with Qin Yuan's terrifying talent, as long as he doesn't die, it's not a problem to live for hundreds of years.
"Yeah, who would have thought that there would be such a unicorn among the handyman disciples in the martial arts school."
Zhou Guyang, the head of the Zhou family, couldn't hide his joy.
"Gu Yang, you should be the first in this matter. From now on, your lineage will be the core direct line of the clan."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou ordered on the spot to enhance the status and resources of Zhou Guyang's lineage.
From Qin Yuan's attitude towards Zhou Guyang, it can be seen that Qin Yuan is obviously more grateful for Zhou Guyang's cultivation than his Zhou family head.
Naturally, the Zhou family will elevate Zhou Guyang's lineage to the core level, so that in the future, when they deal with Qin Yuan, they will be able to get close to the water first.
"Thank you grandfather!"
Zhou Guyang was overjoyed.
The bigger the clan, the more internal branches there will be, and the competition for resources and status has never stopped.
Now, the old master Zhou's words are equivalent to giving him this vein, a Shangfang sword.
From now on, the descendants of his lineage will all be the direct descendants of the Zhou family, how can this not make Zhou Guyang happy.
……
"what happened?"
When Qin Yuan and Zhou Qingfeng were driving past the private school over there to return to the central city, they heard a commotion.
A group of people in ordinary clothes were anxiously surrounding a few yamen servants to arrest the police. Qin Yuan vaguely heard the words 'abducted' and 'disappeared'.
This made Qin Yuan stop his horse and walk over.
"Junior Brother Qin, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng got off his horse and followed, a little surprised. Could it be that there are Qin Yuan's acquaintances among these low-level people?
"It seems that a child has disappeared, I'll go and have a look."
Qin Yuan said.
He thought of the Tianyun Sect realm, the people who disappeared from time to time.
According to the notice from the yamen servants, those people disappeared because of the banditry, but in fact, it was because of someone from the Tianyun Sect practicing evil methods.
Therefore, now that Qin Yuan heard about the disappearance of the child, Qin Yuan subconsciously thought of the Blood Demon Cult. Hopefully, he was just suspicious.
"This kind of thing, just leave it to the yamen servant."
Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't seem to be seeing someone he knew, Zhou Qingfeng was even more puzzled.
Things like kidnapping and trafficking are all the responsibility of the state government servants.
For such trivial matters, their Golden Sword Guards were sent out, it was purely an overkill for killing chickens, and it was overkill.
"No, we have already sent someone to look for it, and it is useless for you to pester us now."
"Maybe, your children are just playful, so they forget the time to go home."
"Officer, it won't happen, my children will come back on time when it's time for dinner..."
"Besides, it's not once or twice that this child has been lost..."
As they got closer, Qin and Yuan gradually understood the matter.
"Golden Knife Guard, give way."
Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward, and with one word, he overwhelmed the chaotic scene.
"Golden Sword Guard?!"
"Master Zhou?!"
Hearing the words "Jindaowei", everyone looked over, and the leader of the policeman even recognized Zhou Qingfeng, and immediately went up to meet him.
Several other yamen servants, as well as the surrounding people, were also in awe and respect.
Not only the Golden Knife Guard, but also the young master of the Zhou family, any one of these identities can crush them to death.
"I heard that a child got lost here, what's going on?"
Zhou Qingfeng asked directly.
"It's okay, it's just a little thing, Young Master Zhou, you..."
The chief arrester had a flattering smile on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense and be more specific. If you want to change places, I don't mind taking you back to the Golden Knife Camp!"
Zhou Qingfeng interrupted this nonsense and said majesticly.
"It's like this. The children of these families have been missing since they played truant, so we brought someone to investigate."
The chief arrester's expression changed, and he immediately cooperated extremely, telling the matter that he was going to be taken to the Golden Knife Camp, and he might not come back alive.
"I just heard that the child was missing, isn't it once or twice?"
After Zhou Qingfeng finished listening, he asked again.
"There were a few times... In the past six months, more than 50 children disappeared, but they were scattered in more than ten areas, and no clues were found."
The catcher seemed to want to hide it, but seeing Zhou Qingfeng's sharp gaze, he immediately explained in detail.
"More than 50 children?!"
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes turned serious when he heard the words, who dare to be so arrogant in Fucheng?
"'No leads found'? That is, you still found something?"
At this time, Qin Yuan, who had been paying attention to the expression of the fast-moving policeman, suddenly asked.
Even in Qingshui City, if dozens of children disappeared in a row, they would be noticed.
Although this prefecture city is dozens of times larger than Qingshui City, its public security is better than Qingshui City.
Dozens of children disappeared within half a year. It is impossible for these government officials to catch up without clues.
Either they were bought off, or the forces behind them couldn't afford to provoke them.
"This……"
The arrester changed color quickly, his eyes dodged, and the other yamen servants also looked at each other.
"You all come here for me."
Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng came to his senses, and brought the policeman and others to an open space.
"I'm not very patient. I'll give you one last chance to say, what's going on?"
Zhou Qingfeng's tone became calm, but the more he said this, the more cold sweat broke out in those yamen servants.
Still the same sentence, Jin Daowei and the others can't afford to provoke them, and the Zhou family can't afford to provoke them, and Zhou Qingfeng, who has two identities superimposed, can't be provoked even more.
"Young Master Zhou, we did find some clues before. The children who disappeared... seem to be related to Anjifang!"
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be murderous, the policeman revealed the clues he had found.
"Anjifang in Fucheng?"
Zhou Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, this result was beyond his expectation.
Qin Yuan also moved his eyes slightly.
The so-called Anji Square is specially used by the state government to house orphans and young children.
In other words, Anjifang has the background of the state capital.
Could it be that the disappearance of these children has something to do with the state shepherd?
It's impossible, right?
The disappearance of so many children seems to be related to evil cultivation, not simple crimes.
Being appointed by the royal family, Jin Dao Wei Ming's superficial boss, would have an affair with evil cultivators?
Could it be that the old prince mentioned by Elder Qi of Tianyun Zong is from the state capital?
"Young Master Zhou, it's not that we don't want to investigate this matter, it's that we can't."
The leader of the arresters said with a bitter face, in this prefectural city, going to investigate Anjifang, which has a background in the state capital, isn't it obvious that he is seeking death.
"Junior Brother Qin, this matter..."
Zhou Qingfeng looked at Qin Yuan. He felt that the water in this matter was extremely deep, and it was better not to get involved rashly.
"Let's go. Keep today's matter a secret. After three days, someone will give you the antidote. If the news spreads, then you will die."
Qin Yuan heard the words, but gave the arresters a poison pill to prevent the news from leaking.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will keep my mouth shut and not reveal a word."
The few arresters didn't dare to speak out because of their suffering, and left one after another.
They didn't know whether Qin Yuan told them to shut up because he wanted to thoroughly investigate Anji Fang, or to cover Anji Fang.
"Junior Brother Qin, do you want to find out about this matter?"
Zhou Qingfeng's expression turned serious, he had already seen Qin Yuan's intentions.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you go back to Suzaku Division and report this matter to the Division Chief."
Qin Yuan said that he didn't want to involve Zhou Qingfeng.
Among the younger generation, Zhou Qingfeng, who became a centurion, can be regarded as a strong player, but in front of the real strong, the gap is huge.
As for this matter, Qin Yuan would definitely investigate thoroughly.
If the state government really had an affair with the Blood Demon Cult, then he would take this opportunity to eradicate it in one fell swoop.
If Zhou Mu hadn't been involved, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to find out the inner ghost lurking in Fucheng.
Maybe this time, he can follow the clues and find clues about the old prince.
"Junior Brother Qin, you have to be careful."
When Zhou Qingfeng heard the words, there was no nonsense, and he left immediately.
He is not worried about Qin Yuan's strength.
Qin Yuan, who is qualified to participate in the trial of demon slaying envoys, is definitely not weaker than the elders.
But if the matter is really found out on Zhou Mu, then it must be endorsed by the Golden Knife Camp.
Even Ye Jingtian is not qualified, I'm afraid Zhuge Canghai has to do it.
Qin Yuan also didn't stop, and went straight to Anjifang, the prefectural city.
After more than half an hour, Qin Yuan crossed dozens of residential areas and came to Anji Square, which occupies a very large area.
In Anji Square, it was extremely lively, and there were dark crowds of children, either playing or learning art, from the surface, there was no problem at all.
"There is no breath of evil cultivators."
Qin Yuan urged the five elements to move, and his spiritual perception was fully covered.
But the people in the entire Anjifang are ordinary people, not to mention evil cultivators, and there are not many warriors.
This is also normal, but orphans and young children are placed, and there is no need for warriors to protect them.
Swish!
After careful perception, Qin Yuan quietly turned into the inner courtyard of Anjifang.
In front of Zhou Qingfeng, those arresting yamen servants probably didn't dare to lie.
What's more, at the last moment, he gave those people poison pills. If he lied, it should reveal his flaws.
Therefore, this Anjifang, which looks normal, may really have a problem.
Naturally, Qin Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he just went to the workshop owner and asked.
"This mission is over, and I can finally rest. I haven't been home for more than half a year!"
"Yeah, if I don't go back, my mother-in-law might run away with someone!"
"It shouldn't be impossible to run away, but it is possible that there will be Lao Wang visiting..."
"roll!"
When Qin Yuan sneaked into the inner courtyard, more than a dozen people who looked like coolies were coming out of the inner courtyard.
Qin Yuan sensed the aura of those people, he didn't pay attention, and walked towards a house in the inner courtyard.
Squeak!
Without talking nonsense, Qin Yuan pushed the door open and entered.
"How many times have I said, knock on the door first when you come in... who are you?"
Inside the room, a man with a goatee who seemed to be taking photos looked at Qin Yuan in surprise.
"Golden Sword Guard!"
But when he saw Qin Yuan's attire clearly, the goatee man's face changed suddenly, and he broke out in cold sweat.
"Look at this, you know why I came to you!"
Qin Yuan walked over, casually picked up the ledger and looked through it. It was not so much a ledger, but a roster, with numerous names written on it.
"My lord, what are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding?"
The man with the goatee turned pale and said in a trembling voice.
call out!
Seeing this, Qin Yuan flicked his finger, and a seed of the devil tree entered his body. After the seed of the devil tree took root and germinated, the man with the goatee immediately fell to the ground in pain.
"Now, do you still think there is a misunderstanding?"
Looking at the goatee man clutching his heart and gasping for breath, Qin Yuan asked condescendingly.
"Stop...stop! My lord, what do you want to know, I absolutely dare not tell half a lie!"
The man with the goatee knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Those children who were taken away by you, where are they now?"
Qin Yuan restrained the seed of the magic tree a little and asked.
"Those children were all taken away by the Black Sand Gang."
The goatee man's heart sank.
He kept praying that Qin Yuan didn't come because of those children, but in the end, he came for whatever he was afraid of.
If you don't say it now, you will die immediately, but if you say it, the Black Sand Gang will definitely retaliate against him in the future, and there is no choice at all.
Of course, it is a moment to live one more moment. Under the severe pain in his heart, he did not dare to disobey at all.
"The Black Sand Gang? Why are they abducting so many children?"
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he had never heard of the so-called Black Sand Gang.
This is also normal. With Qin Yuan's identity, except for those royal families, ordinary forces, he is not qualified to remember him at all.
Not to mention, those low-level gang forces.
However, from this point of view, this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Mu.
"I don't know, I only know that the Black Sand Gang will ask for a group of children every three months. When they first started, they took the children from the workshop directly."
"But after a long time, Fucheng will inevitably become suspicious. I had to ask someone to arrest children from other places. Those children were sent out just now."
The man with the goatee was very straightforward and told everything.
"Since it's useless, let's get on the road."
Qin Yuan opened his mouth indifferently, the seeds of the magic tree germinated, and immediately devoured them.
Afterwards, Qin Yuan put away the seeds of the magic tree, and after leaving a signal, he caught up with the coolie who had left before.
At this time, the dozen or so men were driving more than a dozen carriages, leaving from the backyard of Anjifang.
In those carriages lay dozens of unconscious children.
Qin Yuan followed from afar, and not long after, he arrived at the lair of the Black Sand Gang.
In order not to startle the snake, Qin Yuan did not act now, but sneaked in quietly.
"Boss, the last batch of children have already been sent!"
In the lobby of the Black Sand Gang, a member of the gang with one ear missing came quickly and reported respectfully.
"Are there enough people?"
In that hall, a fat man with a shiny face opened his eyes indifferently. Obviously, this person is the leader of the Black Sand Gang.
"Fifty boys and fifty girls, we've got them together."
That one ear reports.
"Send it to Yun's family overnight. This year should be a smooth year!"
The head of the Black Sand Clan nodded in satisfaction, once every three months, within this year, there should be no more arrests, as for next year, we will talk about it next year.
"Okay, but boss, it's not an option to go on like this. If you keep catching children in Fucheng, people will notice sooner or later."
After that one ear nodded, he couldn't help but said.
The previous arrests were already being investigated by police officers. Although they were temporarily suppressed, if they continued to arrest people frequently, they would definitely not be able to hide it.
"I can't help it. The Yun family is in a hurry. The Golden Knife Guard has gone crazy for some reason these past few months. He has been patrolling various towns."
"Right now, we can only deal with emergencies in Fucheng. Fortunately, Fucheng is big enough. As long as those yamen servants are suppressed, there should be no trouble in a short time."
The leader of Heisha said in a deep voice, he naturally knew that going on like this would not be a long-term solution, but there was nothing they could do about the situation.
"Speaking of which, the beggar master didn't know where he died, he didn't even want his wife and son."
That ear was helpless, and said again.
These things were originally taken care of by the beggar master, who would regularly send suitable children, and they only needed to be responsible for the transfer.
But who knows, the beggar master disappeared inexplicably, and the line was broken.
If the Beggar Lord is still there, they don't have to take such a risk at all.
"I heard that Heishan in Qingshui City provoked ruthless people and was taken over by a single pot. I'm afraid the beggar owner will die early, that's all right, let's go to deliver the goods quickly, and don't worry if the delivery is finished as soon as possible."
The leader of Heisha gave orders.
"Okay, then I'll go and order now..."
That one ear said, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground without waking up, it can be called a second sleep.
"poison?!"
The face of the leader of Heisha's gang changed suddenly. Just as he got up, his fat body suddenly sat down, and the sturdy chair trembled.
"Come on man..."
The head of Heisha took his last breath and wanted to shout, but the words he said were limp.
"Heisha Sect Master, you have heard of your name for a long time."
An indifferent voice came, and Qin Yuan, wearing a ghost mask, pushed the door open and entered.
"who are you?"
The head of Heisha looked at Qin Yuan, forced himself to be calm, and was powerless to ask.
"Next, I will ask you to answer. If you say a wrong word or lie a word, I will cut off a piece of your body. Judging by your fat body, you should be very patient."
Qin Yuan pulled out the hundred-smelting steel knife and slapped the black sand gang leader's fat body.
"The saber of the Golden Knife Battalion?!"
"My lord is from the Golden Knife Battalion?!"
Seeing Qin Yuan's saber, the leader of the Black Sand Sect shrank his pupils sharply, recognizing that it belonged to the Golden Knife Battalion.
"You have a good eye, but unfortunately, it seems that you didn't hear me clearly. I asked you to answer."
As Qin Yuan said, he stabbed casually, blood gushed out, and a piece of flesh and blood was easily cut off.
The hundred-refined steel knife of the Golden Knife Camp may not be able to break through the monster's defense, but it is extremely easy to cut people.
"My lord, if you ask, just ask!"
The leader of the Black Sand Clan was distorted by the pain, but he couldn't even cry out in pain, and said repeatedly.
"The Yun family you just mentioned is the Yun family in Fucheng?"
Qin Yuan wiped the blood on the knife on the clothes of the leader of the Black Sand Gang.
To be honest, Qin Yuan was extremely surprised when he heard the conversation between the two leaders of the Black Sand Clan.
The man behind the scenes who keeps catching children in Fucheng is actually the Yun family of Fucheng?
In the past, the beggar master of Black Mountain who was wiped out by him was also the Yun family?
No wonder in the past, the beggar owner would rather commit suicide than dare to reveal the person behind the scenes.
If this is said, then his wife, son and daughter may not survive.
Knowing that the Yun family was in collusion with the Blood Demon Cult, the degree of shock was no less than the state shepherd had a problem with.
You know, Yun Tianwu, the strongest newcomer of Qinglong Division this year, is the descendant of the Yun family.
If it develops normally, after more than ten years, Yun Tianwu will probably be the head of Qinglong Division.
What's more, Yun Tianwu can go one step further and aspire to the position of general. This kind of harm is not weaker than the rebellion of the state herdsman.
"Yes."
The leader of Heisha nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would lose another piece of flesh.
"What is the Yun family doing with so many children?"
Qin Yuan asked indifferently.
"I don't know the details, but it seems that it is for practicing some kind of secret technique."
The leader of Heisha said that he has been helping the Yun family to transport people, so he more or less knows some inside information.
"Secret technique? Oh, I think it's an evil technique."
Qin Yuan sneered.
"My lord, we are only following the orders of the Yun family, and we are not involved in anything else."
The leader of Heisha could hear the killing intent in Qin Yuan's words, and said repeatedly.
"It seems that you don't know much news."
Qin Yuan was condescending, looking down at the leader of the Black Sand Clan indifferently.
"No, no, my lord, I am useful, I know a piece of news."
The head of the Heisha gang broke out in a cold sweat, and he kept trembling as he spoke again and again.
"Say."
Qin Yuan said indifferently.
"I know that the Yun family has a secret mansion, these children will be sent to that mansion by the Yun family, my lord, as long as you are willing..."
The head of Heisha was about to take the opportunity to make a condition, his eyes suddenly protruded, and his eyes were full of panic and despair.
At this moment, he felt spiritual, as if he was coming out of his body, and his consciousness quickly became blurred.
"Practice!"
Qin Yuan shouted, he didn't know when to make a seal with his hands, that was the secret seal for searching souls in the soul refining technique.
After a few breaths, a mass of invisible energy was swept and swallowed by Qin Yuan's spiritual consciousness from between the eyebrows of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
Immediately, countless shattered images emerged in Qin Yuan's mind, which were the memories of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
With the emergence of those memories, the five elements between Qin Yuan's brows felt slightly swollen, and Qin Yuan's spirit was also faintly lifted.
This is the sequelae of soul searching.
If it is just refining the soul, it will at most make Qin Yuan's spiritual consciousness complicated.
But Souhun is different, it is to bear the chaotic memory of one person, if one is not good, there may be memory confusion.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan is in a self-healing permanent state.
The sense of spiritual deprivation disappeared instantly, and the swelling feeling of the five-element path fetus was also healed.
"found it!"
While healed with self-healing, Qin Yuan also found the Yun family's mansion from the mixed memories of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
The leader of the Black Sand Sect didn't lie, every time the children who were sent there were secretly transferred to that secret mansion by the Yun family.
Swish!
Immediately, Qin Yuan quickly circled around the Black Sand Gang, and all the members of the whole gang were poisoned and passed out.
After leaving the secret signal, Qin Yuan went straight to take out the secret mansion.
Judging from the current information, it is almost a certainty that the Yun family has colluded with the Blood Demon Cult.
That secret mansion should be the place where the Yun family practiced evil methods.
Naturally, Qin Yuan didn't plan to wait for the people from the Golden Knife Camp and prepared to sneak in alone.
In doing so, first, he has enough confidence to wipe out the Yun family in one fell swoop.
The second is for Zhou Qingfeng to inform Ye Jingtian that once the news becomes serious, it is very likely that the Yun Family will know about it.
After all, they previously thought that the matter of Anjifang had something to do with Zhou Mu. Ye Jingtian might guard against Zhou Mu, but it was unlikely that he would hide it from the Yun family.
That's why Qin Yuan had to hurry up and wipe out all the evil cultivators of the Yun family.
……
Anji Square.
shhhhhh!
Three figures came from the sky at an astonishing speed, and they were the three heads of Suzaku Division, Ye Jingtian, Wang Shiyuan, and Zhang Wan.
"This is the code left by Qin Yuan."
"Black Sand Gang?"
"go!"
After arriving at Anjifang, Ye Jingtian and the others found the secret code left by Qin Yuan.
After knowing that the next stop was Anjifang, they flew over at top speed, and soon came to the Black Sand Gang.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!"
As soon as he arrived at the Black Sand Gang, Ye Jingtian immediately discovered that the poisonous gas permeated the entire Black Sand Gang.
"They're all just in a coma!"
"The missing child is here!"
"This code is..."
After taking the Bailing Jiedu Pill and holding his breath, the three of Ye Jingtian turned inside and found the children in the dozen or so carriages.
Afterwards, they found Qin Yuan, the secret code left behind in the Black Sand Gang.
"The Yun family?!"
But after unlocking the password, Ye Jingtian and the others were all stunned.
"No way? Behind this matter, is the Yun family's work?"
"Doesn't that mean that the Yun family may have an affair with the Blood Demon Cult?"
Wang Shiyuan and Zhang Wan were both extremely shocked and unbelievable.
The Yun family, that is an old and powerful family in ancient Yunzhou, how could they collude with the Blood Demon Cult?
This is explosive news, enough to make the entire state capital boil!
"The old prince who delivered the news is from the Yun family?"
Ye Jingtian's eyes sank, and he remembered what Qin Yuan had reported to him about the old prince.
"Qin Yuan couldn't be alone and broke into Yun's house, right?"
At this time, Wang Shiyuan looked at the dead Black Sand Gang, and looked in the direction of the Yun family.
"Judging from the code, Qin Yuan doesn't seem to be going to the Yun family."
After carefully reading the code, Ye Jingtian said.
"I'll go to Qin Yuan's side, you two, go back to the boss and report to Lord Zhuge, first capture the members of the Yun family, and then lead people to surround the Yun family's mansion!"
Afterwards, Ye Jingtian ordered that he go to Qin Yuan's direction to see where Qin Yuan went.
Although with Qin Yuan's strength, he does not need his help, but I am afraid that something will happen.
"it is good!"
Wang Shiyuan and Zhang Wan set off immediately without any hesitation.
……
Ancient Yunzhou, splendid ancient palace.
"Grandfather, something has happened!"
The middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament came quickly and said anxiously.
"Hustle and panic, how decent is it, say it!"
The old voice, who was in the darkness and couldn't see clearly, said calmly.
"There are people in the Golden Knife Camp, and they found Anjifang and the Black Sand Gang."
The middle-aged man said anxiously.
"What did you say?!"
The old voice seemed to get up suddenly, and his tone changed drastically, no longer as stable as Mount Tai.
(End of this chapter)
"Blood Demon Cult? Say!"
When Ye Jingtian heard this, the smile on his face restrained, and he asked.
"Actually, this news was learned during the encirclement and suppression of Tian Yunzong. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this news."
Qin Yuan laid the groundwork first.
After all, this news is aimed directly at the several major palaces in Guyunzhou. This one is not good, and it may cause a lot of turmoil.
"But it's okay to say! As for whether it is true or not, you will know after checking."
Seeing this, Ye Jingtian became more serious. It seemed that Qin Yuan really knew the incredible information.
"According to that evil cultivator, before we left, they got the news, and the person who sent them the message was a man called the old prince!"
Qin Yuan said.
"Old prince?!"
Ye Jingtian's pupils twitched violently, his expression serious.
Although he knew that the news was extremely shocking after seeing Qin Yuan's foreshadowing before, he still didn't expect that it would be involved with the palace.
"Which palace is the prince?"
Ye Jingtian asked in a deep voice.
"That evil cultivator doesn't know his specific identity, and even whether it's a code name or not."
Qin Yuan said.
"Being able to know our actions in advance, this person's identity is definitely not low, but leaking information to the Blood Demon Cult is a serious crime, and it is impossible to use his real identity."
Ye Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
Although the Fourth Division of the Golden Knife Battalion has people placed by various major forces, but this time the encirclement and suppression of Tianyunzong, they did not inform the commander-in-chief until before the action.
As for the centurions and other golden sword guards who went further down, they all knew their targets when they reached the Tianyun Sect.
"Director, the evil cultivators of Tianyun Sect didn't get the news a little in advance. I estimate that they got the news at least half a month."
Qin Yuan heard the words and said.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the people involved in this operation. Judging from Elder Qi's information, the Blood Demon Cult was preparing to sacrifice the entire Tianyun Peak with blood.
In other words, those who did not participate in this action had a bigger problem!
"So, I was noticed when I sent someone to investigate the Sky Cloud Sect?"
In Ye Jingtian's eyes, there was a sharp light flickering.
In this way, the scope of investigation and discussion is greatly reduced. It is only necessary to find out which people are inserted by those palaces.
"This matter must be reported to the Lord General."
Immediately, Ye Jingtian got up and walked quickly towards the main hall.
Qin Yuan returned to Yunhai Building and practiced step by step.
Slaughtering sword gesture, nine transformations of the true spirit, drawing the sword and chopping, berserk transformation, soul refining and so on.
After reaching the top of his cultivation base, Qin Yuan focused on polishing these secret martial arts.
……
a few days later.
time.
"Junior Brother Qin, are you free today?"
Zhou Qingfeng quickly walked up to the ninth floor. Obviously, he was going to meet the old man of the Zhou family.
"of course."
Qin Yuan made preparations a long time ago, and left the Golden Knife Camp with Zhou Qingfeng, and drove away on horseback.
However, Zhou Qingfeng did not go to Zhou's mansion, but to a certain direction of the city.
"Senior brother Zhou, the old man doesn't live in the mansion?"
Qin Yuan asked a little strangely.
He didn't think that the Zhou family wanted to do anything to him. Of course, even if the Zhou family really had evil intentions, with his current strength, he could overwhelm everything.
Looking at the entire ancient Yunzhou, the only thing that Qin Yuan could fear was Zhuge Canghai, the chief general.
In addition, Qin Yuan is not afraid even of those generals, or those royal families.
"The old man has been living in the ancestral house on the east side all these years, and it's much quieter there. If you go to the master's house, I'm afraid everyone from all walks of life will come over."
Zhou Qingfeng came to his senses and explained with a smile.
Qin Yuan nodded, admiring the scenery along the way while walking.
Speaking of which, it has been several months since I came to Fucheng, and Qin Yuan has not seen the scenery of Fucheng yet.
"Third son, how many of you played truant again?!"
"When I catch you and send you back, see if your parents don't beat you to death!"
"Run away..."
When passing by a private school, several naughty children were running wildly with their schoolbags in their arms, and their laughter spread far and wide, while a master was panting after him.
Although the entire people of the Dali Dynasty worshiped martial arts, it did not mean that cultural education was not important. After all, the vast majority of people could hardly make achievements in martial arts.
Of course, those who can settle down in Fucheng and can still afford to study are those who have some wealth, at least they have no worries about food and clothing, and don't have to worry about making a living.
At about noon, Qin Yuan followed Zhou Qingfeng to the east of the mansion, and an ancient mansion with a sense of time caught their eyes.
On the mansion, there are two large characters: Zhou Mansion!
"Brother Qin Yuan!"
When he came to the Zhou Mansion, a figure greeted him immediately, it was Zhou Junwu.
"long time no see!"
Looking at Zhou Junwu, whom he had known since Qingshui City, Qin Yuan got off his horse and walked away with a smile.
Although only a few months have passed, Qin Yuan feels like it has been many years.
This feeling is naturally related to Qin Yuan's experience and changes in cultivation.
For Zhou Junwu, it may just be a few months of penance.
But Qin Yuan, from slaying monsters in Wandu Mountain, to killing catastrophes in Necromancer Ridge, and then to the destruction of Tianyun Sect, it can be said that he fought all the way, and rarely stopped to rest.
"Qin Yuan!"
When Qin Yuan entered the mansion, he saw a familiar figure again.
"Master!"
Qin Yuan's expression brightened, and his smile became even wider. The person who came was actually Zhou Guyang.
"Although I knew for a long time that you are not a thing in the pool, I still didn't expect that you would come to this point in just a few months."
Zhou Guyang looked at Qin Yuan, who seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Qin Yuan left Qingshui City, he was only at the level of true martial arts, but now Zhou Guyang feels that he is stronger and more terrifying than the head of the main family.
"It's thanks to the care of the museum owner at the beginning. By the way, are the deputy museum owner and coach Zhang alright?"
Qin Yuan asked about Zhang Qingshan and others.
"Since the disaster of the Blood Demon Cult, the Golden Knife Camp has sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, and they are all fine."
Zhou Guyang said with a smile, if it wasn't for the fact that the martial arts hall couldn't leave, Zhang Qingshan and the others also wanted to come this time.
During the chat, a group of people came to the main hall.
As Zhou Qingfeng said, this house is quite clean, except for a few servants, there are only two figures there.
Above the main seat was a white-haired old man with a rosy complexion that could not be seen in the twilight.
The person on the left is in the prime of life, full of vigor and blood, mighty and uncommon, and one can see that he is either rich or noble.
"Qin Yuan, this is the old man of my Zhou family, and this is the head of my Zhou family!"
Zhou Guyang introduced to Qin Yuan.
"I have met Mrs. Zhou, and Patriarch Zhou!"
Qin Yuan clasped his fists in salute to his juniors.
Mrs. Zhou, named Zhou Baihe, lived a long life. He is over 120 years old now.
The Patriarch of the Zhou family, named Zhou Gulong, was the eldest among Zhou Guyang's generation, and possessed extraordinary strength, even ranking high in Fucheng.
"Qin Yuan, although it's the first time I've met you, I've heard a lot about you."
Zhou Gulong smiled and motioned Qin Yuan to take a seat, with an extremely easy-going demeanor, as if treating his own family.
"Qin Xiaoyou, I have no intention of inviting you here today. I just heard from General Zhuge that you are about to kill the demon division, so I wanted to meet you."
After Old Master Zhou waved his servants to leave, he said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I have been taken care of by the owner of the museum a lot, and I should have visited the house long ago, but I have not been able to spare time, please don't blame the old man!"
Qin Yuan apologized with a smile.
"It's all a family, so it's okay to see what's wrong and not to be surprised. Besides, young people should focus on cultivation, so that they can have a great future."
Zhou Gulong waved his hands and smiled.
"It's almost time, let's have lunch."
After chatting, Mrs. Zhou got up, and the group went to eat.
"Qin Xiaoyou, you are about to kill the demon division, and my Zhou family can't help you much."
"I heard that you are interested in the inheritance of the Five Elements Ancient Sect and the blood essence of demons, so I specially ordered people to collect some gadgets, you can't refuse."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mrs. Zhou waved and someone brought three wooden boxes.
The first wooden box was opened, and there was a stack of gold tickets, all of which had a denomination of one million gold grades. Judging from this thickness, it might be hundreds of millions.
The second wooden box was opened, and there were ten bottles of blood neatly placed inside. The crystal clear blood was demon essence.
However, these ten bottles of demonic blood are extremely pure, and in a trance, you can still see the demonic form.
Whether it is the demon blood refined by Qin Yuan himself, or the demon blood from Wanbao Pavilion, it is not as pure as these ten bottles of demon blood.
The third wooden box was opened, and it was the size of a palm, with only half of the ancient jade pendant on it. On the jade pendant, there was a word [五].
"This jade pendant is related to the Five Elements Ancient Sect?"
Compared with the golden tickets and ten bottles of demon blood, Qin Yuan cared more about the half jade pendant.
Because Qin Yuan sensed special fluctuations from this half piece of jade pendant, which is the same as the five elements, such as the same pulse.
For Qin Yuan, the follow-up complete exercises are his top priority.
He couldn't pin all his hopes on Taoist Tianyou.
This is also the reason why he chose to take up the post of Tianlongwei.
Now, Qin Yuan was overjoyed to see the old man Zhou actually took out an ancient jade pendant related to the Five Elements Ancient Sect.
"That's right, according to rumors, the original owner of this half of the jade pendant is the elder of the Five Elements Ancient Sect."
"After the Five Elements Ancient Sect was destroyed, and the people's fortunes fell, they sold this half of the jade pendant. My ancestors of the Zhou family saw it and bought it back."
Seeing Qin Yuan's expression, Mrs. Zhou knew that he had got the right chips and told the origin of the jade pendant.
"The younger generation accepts Mrs. Zhou's wishes. In the future, if the Zhou family has anything to do, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
Qin Yuan accepted the three ancient boxes and expressed his promise.
The Zhou family deliberately set up this situation today, probably because of his promise.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Gulong and the others were all overjoyed when they heard about it, and they continued to be courteous.
Because what they did today was indeed as Qin Yuan guessed, they wanted to draw Qin Yuan closer.
Originally, it developed according to the normal situation. After Qin Yuan entered Fucheng, the Zhou family would provide millions of gold subsidies every year to win Qin Yuan over.
But who would have thought that Qin Yuan had risen rapidly after only a few months in the Golden Knife Camp, and by now, he was already qualified to go to kill demons.
This rate of rise is unbelievable.
Naturally, since Qin Yuan had different identities, the Zhou family had to pay more bargaining chips in order to close the relationship between Qin Yuan and the Zhou family.
If only relying on the friendship of the martial arts school in Qingshui City and the million gold, the relationship between the two parties will stop there after Qin Yuan becomes the demon slaying envoy.
Fortunately, the treasures they collected allowed Qin Yuan to accept his love smoothly. In this way, the stronger Qin Yuan is in the future, the greater the benefit to the Zhou family.
"It's Shen Shi, the old man, the head of the Zhou family, the head of the museum, then I will take my leave first."
After chatting for a while, Qin Yuan got up to say goodbye.
"Okay, Qingfeng, you and Qin Xiaoyou go back to the Golden Knife Camp together."
After old master Zhou and others persuaded him to stay, he said to Zhou Qingfeng.
"it is good!"
Immediately, Zhou Qingfeng and Qin Yuan got on their horses and walked in the direction of the Golden Knife Camp.
"As long as there is no chaos and no disasters, my Zhou family will be safe and sound for hundreds of years."
Watching Qin Yuan and Zhou Qingfeng disappear into the street, Zhou Baihe's vicissitudes face was filled with excitement.
At the age of 16, he was able to kill demons. Looking at the entire Ten Kingdoms of Nanling, he couldn't find a second one.
Even if Qin Yuan failed the trial of the demon slaying envoy this year, he would definitely be able to become the demon slaying envoy next year.
And with Qin Yuan's terrifying talent, as long as he doesn't die, it's not a problem to live for hundreds of years.
"Yeah, who would have thought that there would be such a unicorn among the handyman disciples in the martial arts school."
Zhou Guyang, the head of the Zhou family, couldn't hide his joy.
"Gu Yang, you should be the first in this matter. From now on, your lineage will be the core direct line of the clan."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou ordered on the spot to enhance the status and resources of Zhou Guyang's lineage.
From Qin Yuan's attitude towards Zhou Guyang, it can be seen that Qin Yuan is obviously more grateful for Zhou Guyang's cultivation than his Zhou family head.
Naturally, the Zhou family will elevate Zhou Guyang's lineage to the core level, so that in the future, when they deal with Qin Yuan, they will be able to get close to the water first.
"Thank you grandfather!"
Zhou Guyang was overjoyed.
The bigger the clan, the more internal branches there will be, and the competition for resources and status has never stopped.
Now, the old master Zhou's words are equivalent to giving him this vein, a Shangfang sword.
From now on, the descendants of his lineage will all be the direct descendants of the Zhou family, how can this not make Zhou Guyang happy.
……
"what happened?"
When Qin Yuan and Zhou Qingfeng were driving past the private school over there to return to the central city, they heard a commotion.
A group of people in ordinary clothes were anxiously surrounding a few yamen servants to arrest the police. Qin Yuan vaguely heard the words 'abducted' and 'disappeared'.
This made Qin Yuan stop his horse and walk over.
"Junior Brother Qin, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng got off his horse and followed, a little surprised. Could it be that there are Qin Yuan's acquaintances among these low-level people?
"It seems that a child has disappeared, I'll go and have a look."
Qin Yuan said.
He thought of the Tianyun Sect realm, the people who disappeared from time to time.
According to the notice from the yamen servants, those people disappeared because of the banditry, but in fact, it was because of someone from the Tianyun Sect practicing evil methods.
Therefore, now that Qin Yuan heard about the disappearance of the child, Qin Yuan subconsciously thought of the Blood Demon Cult. Hopefully, he was just suspicious.
"This kind of thing, just leave it to the yamen servant."
Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't seem to be seeing someone he knew, Zhou Qingfeng was even more puzzled.
Things like kidnapping and trafficking are all the responsibility of the state government servants.
For such trivial matters, their Golden Sword Guards were sent out, it was purely an overkill for killing chickens, and it was overkill.
"No, we have already sent someone to look for it, and it is useless for you to pester us now."
"Maybe, your children are just playful, so they forget the time to go home."
"Officer, it won't happen, my children will come back on time when it's time for dinner..."
"Besides, it's not once or twice that this child has been lost..."
As they got closer, Qin and Yuan gradually understood the matter.
"Golden Knife Guard, give way."
Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward, and with one word, he overwhelmed the chaotic scene.
"Golden Sword Guard?!"
"Master Zhou?!"
Hearing the words "Jindaowei", everyone looked over, and the leader of the policeman even recognized Zhou Qingfeng, and immediately went up to meet him.
Several other yamen servants, as well as the surrounding people, were also in awe and respect.
Not only the Golden Knife Guard, but also the young master of the Zhou family, any one of these identities can crush them to death.
"I heard that a child got lost here, what's going on?"
Zhou Qingfeng asked directly.
"It's okay, it's just a little thing, Young Master Zhou, you..."
The chief arrester had a flattering smile on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense and be more specific. If you want to change places, I don't mind taking you back to the Golden Knife Camp!"
Zhou Qingfeng interrupted this nonsense and said majesticly.
"It's like this. The children of these families have been missing since they played truant, so we brought someone to investigate."
The chief arrester's expression changed, and he immediately cooperated extremely, telling the matter that he was going to be taken to the Golden Knife Camp, and he might not come back alive.
"I just heard that the child was missing, isn't it once or twice?"
After Zhou Qingfeng finished listening, he asked again.
"There were a few times... In the past six months, more than 50 children disappeared, but they were scattered in more than ten areas, and no clues were found."
The catcher seemed to want to hide it, but seeing Zhou Qingfeng's sharp gaze, he immediately explained in detail.
"More than 50 children?!"
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes turned serious when he heard the words, who dare to be so arrogant in Fucheng?
"'No leads found'? That is, you still found something?"
At this time, Qin Yuan, who had been paying attention to the expression of the fast-moving policeman, suddenly asked.
Even in Qingshui City, if dozens of children disappeared in a row, they would be noticed.
Although this prefecture city is dozens of times larger than Qingshui City, its public security is better than Qingshui City.
Dozens of children disappeared within half a year. It is impossible for these government officials to catch up without clues.
Either they were bought off, or the forces behind them couldn't afford to provoke them.
"This……"
The arrester changed color quickly, his eyes dodged, and the other yamen servants also looked at each other.
"You all come here for me."
Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng came to his senses, and brought the policeman and others to an open space.
"I'm not very patient. I'll give you one last chance to say, what's going on?"
Zhou Qingfeng's tone became calm, but the more he said this, the more cold sweat broke out in those yamen servants.
Still the same sentence, Jin Daowei and the others can't afford to provoke them, and the Zhou family can't afford to provoke them, and Zhou Qingfeng, who has two identities superimposed, can't be provoked even more.
"Young Master Zhou, we did find some clues before. The children who disappeared... seem to be related to Anjifang!"
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be murderous, the policeman revealed the clues he had found.
"Anjifang in Fucheng?"
Zhou Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, this result was beyond his expectation.
Qin Yuan also moved his eyes slightly.
The so-called Anji Square is specially used by the state government to house orphans and young children.
In other words, Anjifang has the background of the state capital.
Could it be that the disappearance of these children has something to do with the state shepherd?
It's impossible, right?
The disappearance of so many children seems to be related to evil cultivation, not simple crimes.
Being appointed by the royal family, Jin Dao Wei Ming's superficial boss, would have an affair with evil cultivators?
Could it be that the old prince mentioned by Elder Qi of Tianyun Zong is from the state capital?
"Young Master Zhou, it's not that we don't want to investigate this matter, it's that we can't."
The leader of the arresters said with a bitter face, in this prefectural city, going to investigate Anjifang, which has a background in the state capital, isn't it obvious that he is seeking death.
"Junior Brother Qin, this matter..."
Zhou Qingfeng looked at Qin Yuan. He felt that the water in this matter was extremely deep, and it was better not to get involved rashly.
"Let's go. Keep today's matter a secret. After three days, someone will give you the antidote. If the news spreads, then you will die."
Qin Yuan heard the words, but gave the arresters a poison pill to prevent the news from leaking.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will keep my mouth shut and not reveal a word."
The few arresters didn't dare to speak out because of their suffering, and left one after another.
They didn't know whether Qin Yuan told them to shut up because he wanted to thoroughly investigate Anji Fang, or to cover Anji Fang.
"Junior Brother Qin, do you want to find out about this matter?"
Zhou Qingfeng's expression turned serious, he had already seen Qin Yuan's intentions.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you go back to Suzaku Division and report this matter to the Division Chief."
Qin Yuan said that he didn't want to involve Zhou Qingfeng.
Among the younger generation, Zhou Qingfeng, who became a centurion, can be regarded as a strong player, but in front of the real strong, the gap is huge.
As for this matter, Qin Yuan would definitely investigate thoroughly.
If the state government really had an affair with the Blood Demon Cult, then he would take this opportunity to eradicate it in one fell swoop.
If Zhou Mu hadn't been involved, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to find out the inner ghost lurking in Fucheng.
Maybe this time, he can follow the clues and find clues about the old prince.
"Junior Brother Qin, you have to be careful."
When Zhou Qingfeng heard the words, there was no nonsense, and he left immediately.
He is not worried about Qin Yuan's strength.
Qin Yuan, who is qualified to participate in the trial of demon slaying envoys, is definitely not weaker than the elders.
But if the matter is really found out on Zhou Mu, then it must be endorsed by the Golden Knife Camp.
Even Ye Jingtian is not qualified, I'm afraid Zhuge Canghai has to do it.
Qin Yuan also didn't stop, and went straight to Anjifang, the prefectural city.
After more than half an hour, Qin Yuan crossed dozens of residential areas and came to Anji Square, which occupies a very large area.
In Anji Square, it was extremely lively, and there were dark crowds of children, either playing or learning art, from the surface, there was no problem at all.
"There is no breath of evil cultivators."
Qin Yuan urged the five elements to move, and his spiritual perception was fully covered.
But the people in the entire Anjifang are ordinary people, not to mention evil cultivators, and there are not many warriors.
This is also normal, but orphans and young children are placed, and there is no need for warriors to protect them.
Swish!
After careful perception, Qin Yuan quietly turned into the inner courtyard of Anjifang.
In front of Zhou Qingfeng, those arresting yamen servants probably didn't dare to lie.
What's more, at the last moment, he gave those people poison pills. If he lied, it should reveal his flaws.
Therefore, this Anjifang, which looks normal, may really have a problem.
Naturally, Qin Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he just went to the workshop owner and asked.
"This mission is over, and I can finally rest. I haven't been home for more than half a year!"
"Yeah, if I don't go back, my mother-in-law might run away with someone!"
"It shouldn't be impossible to run away, but it is possible that there will be Lao Wang visiting..."
"roll!"
When Qin Yuan sneaked into the inner courtyard, more than a dozen people who looked like coolies were coming out of the inner courtyard.
Qin Yuan sensed the aura of those people, he didn't pay attention, and walked towards a house in the inner courtyard.
Squeak!
Without talking nonsense, Qin Yuan pushed the door open and entered.
"How many times have I said, knock on the door first when you come in... who are you?"
Inside the room, a man with a goatee who seemed to be taking photos looked at Qin Yuan in surprise.
"Golden Sword Guard!"
But when he saw Qin Yuan's attire clearly, the goatee man's face changed suddenly, and he broke out in cold sweat.
"Look at this, you know why I came to you!"
Qin Yuan walked over, casually picked up the ledger and looked through it. It was not so much a ledger, but a roster, with numerous names written on it.
"My lord, what are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding?"
The man with the goatee turned pale and said in a trembling voice.
call out!
Seeing this, Qin Yuan flicked his finger, and a seed of the devil tree entered his body. After the seed of the devil tree took root and germinated, the man with the goatee immediately fell to the ground in pain.
"Now, do you still think there is a misunderstanding?"
Looking at the goatee man clutching his heart and gasping for breath, Qin Yuan asked condescendingly.
"Stop...stop! My lord, what do you want to know, I absolutely dare not tell half a lie!"
The man with the goatee knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Those children who were taken away by you, where are they now?"
Qin Yuan restrained the seed of the magic tree a little and asked.
"Those children were all taken away by the Black Sand Gang."
The goatee man's heart sank.
He kept praying that Qin Yuan didn't come because of those children, but in the end, he came for whatever he was afraid of.
If you don't say it now, you will die immediately, but if you say it, the Black Sand Gang will definitely retaliate against him in the future, and there is no choice at all.
Of course, it is a moment to live one more moment. Under the severe pain in his heart, he did not dare to disobey at all.
"The Black Sand Gang? Why are they abducting so many children?"
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he had never heard of the so-called Black Sand Gang.
This is also normal. With Qin Yuan's identity, except for those royal families, ordinary forces, he is not qualified to remember him at all.
Not to mention, those low-level gang forces.
However, from this point of view, this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Mu.
"I don't know, I only know that the Black Sand Gang will ask for a group of children every three months. When they first started, they took the children from the workshop directly."
"But after a long time, Fucheng will inevitably become suspicious. I had to ask someone to arrest children from other places. Those children were sent out just now."
The man with the goatee was very straightforward and told everything.
"Since it's useless, let's get on the road."
Qin Yuan opened his mouth indifferently, the seeds of the magic tree germinated, and immediately devoured them.
Afterwards, Qin Yuan put away the seeds of the magic tree, and after leaving a signal, he caught up with the coolie who had left before.
At this time, the dozen or so men were driving more than a dozen carriages, leaving from the backyard of Anjifang.
In those carriages lay dozens of unconscious children.
Qin Yuan followed from afar, and not long after, he arrived at the lair of the Black Sand Gang.
In order not to startle the snake, Qin Yuan did not act now, but sneaked in quietly.
"Boss, the last batch of children have already been sent!"
In the lobby of the Black Sand Gang, a member of the gang with one ear missing came quickly and reported respectfully.
"Are there enough people?"
In that hall, a fat man with a shiny face opened his eyes indifferently. Obviously, this person is the leader of the Black Sand Gang.
"Fifty boys and fifty girls, we've got them together."
That one ear reports.
"Send it to Yun's family overnight. This year should be a smooth year!"
The head of the Black Sand Clan nodded in satisfaction, once every three months, within this year, there should be no more arrests, as for next year, we will talk about it next year.
"Okay, but boss, it's not an option to go on like this. If you keep catching children in Fucheng, people will notice sooner or later."
After that one ear nodded, he couldn't help but said.
The previous arrests were already being investigated by police officers. Although they were temporarily suppressed, if they continued to arrest people frequently, they would definitely not be able to hide it.
"I can't help it. The Yun family is in a hurry. The Golden Knife Guard has gone crazy for some reason these past few months. He has been patrolling various towns."
"Right now, we can only deal with emergencies in Fucheng. Fortunately, Fucheng is big enough. As long as those yamen servants are suppressed, there should be no trouble in a short time."
The leader of Heisha said in a deep voice, he naturally knew that going on like this would not be a long-term solution, but there was nothing they could do about the situation.
"Speaking of which, the beggar master didn't know where he died, he didn't even want his wife and son."
That ear was helpless, and said again.
These things were originally taken care of by the beggar master, who would regularly send suitable children, and they only needed to be responsible for the transfer.
But who knows, the beggar master disappeared inexplicably, and the line was broken.
If the Beggar Lord is still there, they don't have to take such a risk at all.
"I heard that Heishan in Qingshui City provoked ruthless people and was taken over by a single pot. I'm afraid the beggar owner will die early, that's all right, let's go to deliver the goods quickly, and don't worry if the delivery is finished as soon as possible."
The leader of Heisha gave orders.
"Okay, then I'll go and order now..."
That one ear said, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground without waking up, it can be called a second sleep.
"poison?!"
The face of the leader of Heisha's gang changed suddenly. Just as he got up, his fat body suddenly sat down, and the sturdy chair trembled.
"Come on man..."
The head of Heisha took his last breath and wanted to shout, but the words he said were limp.
"Heisha Sect Master, you have heard of your name for a long time."
An indifferent voice came, and Qin Yuan, wearing a ghost mask, pushed the door open and entered.
"who are you?"
The head of Heisha looked at Qin Yuan, forced himself to be calm, and was powerless to ask.
"Next, I will ask you to answer. If you say a wrong word or lie a word, I will cut off a piece of your body. Judging by your fat body, you should be very patient."
Qin Yuan pulled out the hundred-smelting steel knife and slapped the black sand gang leader's fat body.
"The saber of the Golden Knife Battalion?!"
"My lord is from the Golden Knife Battalion?!"
Seeing Qin Yuan's saber, the leader of the Black Sand Sect shrank his pupils sharply, recognizing that it belonged to the Golden Knife Battalion.
"You have a good eye, but unfortunately, it seems that you didn't hear me clearly. I asked you to answer."
As Qin Yuan said, he stabbed casually, blood gushed out, and a piece of flesh and blood was easily cut off.
The hundred-refined steel knife of the Golden Knife Camp may not be able to break through the monster's defense, but it is extremely easy to cut people.
"My lord, if you ask, just ask!"
The leader of the Black Sand Clan was distorted by the pain, but he couldn't even cry out in pain, and said repeatedly.
"The Yun family you just mentioned is the Yun family in Fucheng?"
Qin Yuan wiped the blood on the knife on the clothes of the leader of the Black Sand Gang.
To be honest, Qin Yuan was extremely surprised when he heard the conversation between the two leaders of the Black Sand Clan.
The man behind the scenes who keeps catching children in Fucheng is actually the Yun family of Fucheng?
In the past, the beggar master of Black Mountain who was wiped out by him was also the Yun family?
No wonder in the past, the beggar owner would rather commit suicide than dare to reveal the person behind the scenes.
If this is said, then his wife, son and daughter may not survive.
Knowing that the Yun family was in collusion with the Blood Demon Cult, the degree of shock was no less than the state shepherd had a problem with.
You know, Yun Tianwu, the strongest newcomer of Qinglong Division this year, is the descendant of the Yun family.
If it develops normally, after more than ten years, Yun Tianwu will probably be the head of Qinglong Division.
What's more, Yun Tianwu can go one step further and aspire to the position of general. This kind of harm is not weaker than the rebellion of the state herdsman.
"Yes."
The leader of Heisha nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would lose another piece of flesh.
"What is the Yun family doing with so many children?"
Qin Yuan asked indifferently.
"I don't know the details, but it seems that it is for practicing some kind of secret technique."
The leader of Heisha said that he has been helping the Yun family to transport people, so he more or less knows some inside information.
"Secret technique? Oh, I think it's an evil technique."
Qin Yuan sneered.
"My lord, we are only following the orders of the Yun family, and we are not involved in anything else."
The leader of Heisha could hear the killing intent in Qin Yuan's words, and said repeatedly.
"It seems that you don't know much news."
Qin Yuan was condescending, looking down at the leader of the Black Sand Clan indifferently.
"No, no, my lord, I am useful, I know a piece of news."
The head of the Heisha gang broke out in a cold sweat, and he kept trembling as he spoke again and again.
"Say."
Qin Yuan said indifferently.
"I know that the Yun family has a secret mansion, these children will be sent to that mansion by the Yun family, my lord, as long as you are willing..."
The head of Heisha was about to take the opportunity to make a condition, his eyes suddenly protruded, and his eyes were full of panic and despair.
At this moment, he felt spiritual, as if he was coming out of his body, and his consciousness quickly became blurred.
"Practice!"
Qin Yuan shouted, he didn't know when to make a seal with his hands, that was the secret seal for searching souls in the soul refining technique.
After a few breaths, a mass of invisible energy was swept and swallowed by Qin Yuan's spiritual consciousness from between the eyebrows of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
Immediately, countless shattered images emerged in Qin Yuan's mind, which were the memories of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
With the emergence of those memories, the five elements between Qin Yuan's brows felt slightly swollen, and Qin Yuan's spirit was also faintly lifted.
This is the sequelae of soul searching.
If it is just refining the soul, it will at most make Qin Yuan's spiritual consciousness complicated.
But Souhun is different, it is to bear the chaotic memory of one person, if one is not good, there may be memory confusion.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan is in a self-healing permanent state.
The sense of spiritual deprivation disappeared instantly, and the swelling feeling of the five-element path fetus was also healed.
"found it!"
While healed with self-healing, Qin Yuan also found the Yun family's mansion from the mixed memories of the leader of the Black Sand Clan.
The leader of the Black Sand Sect didn't lie, every time the children who were sent there were secretly transferred to that secret mansion by the Yun family.
Swish!
Immediately, Qin Yuan quickly circled around the Black Sand Gang, and all the members of the whole gang were poisoned and passed out.
After leaving the secret signal, Qin Yuan went straight to take out the secret mansion.
Judging from the current information, it is almost a certainty that the Yun family has colluded with the Blood Demon Cult.
That secret mansion should be the place where the Yun family practiced evil methods.
Naturally, Qin Yuan didn't plan to wait for the people from the Golden Knife Camp and prepared to sneak in alone.
In doing so, first, he has enough confidence to wipe out the Yun family in one fell swoop.
The second is for Zhou Qingfeng to inform Ye Jingtian that once the news becomes serious, it is very likely that the Yun Family will know about it.
After all, they previously thought that the matter of Anjifang had something to do with Zhou Mu. Ye Jingtian might guard against Zhou Mu, but it was unlikely that he would hide it from the Yun family.
That's why Qin Yuan had to hurry up and wipe out all the evil cultivators of the Yun family.
……
Anji Square.
shhhhhh!
Three figures came from the sky at an astonishing speed, and they were the three heads of Suzaku Division, Ye Jingtian, Wang Shiyuan, and Zhang Wan.
"This is the code left by Qin Yuan."
"Black Sand Gang?"
"go!"
After arriving at Anjifang, Ye Jingtian and the others found the secret code left by Qin Yuan.
After knowing that the next stop was Anjifang, they flew over at top speed, and soon came to the Black Sand Gang.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!"
As soon as he arrived at the Black Sand Gang, Ye Jingtian immediately discovered that the poisonous gas permeated the entire Black Sand Gang.
"They're all just in a coma!"
"The missing child is here!"
"This code is..."
After taking the Bailing Jiedu Pill and holding his breath, the three of Ye Jingtian turned inside and found the children in the dozen or so carriages.
Afterwards, they found Qin Yuan, the secret code left behind in the Black Sand Gang.
"The Yun family?!"
But after unlocking the password, Ye Jingtian and the others were all stunned.
"No way? Behind this matter, is the Yun family's work?"
"Doesn't that mean that the Yun family may have an affair with the Blood Demon Cult?"
Wang Shiyuan and Zhang Wan were both extremely shocked and unbelievable.
The Yun family, that is an old and powerful family in ancient Yunzhou, how could they collude with the Blood Demon Cult?
This is explosive news, enough to make the entire state capital boil!
"The old prince who delivered the news is from the Yun family?"
Ye Jingtian's eyes sank, and he remembered what Qin Yuan had reported to him about the old prince.
"Qin Yuan couldn't be alone and broke into Yun's house, right?"
At this time, Wang Shiyuan looked at the dead Black Sand Gang, and looked in the direction of the Yun family.
"Judging from the code, Qin Yuan doesn't seem to be going to the Yun family."
After carefully reading the code, Ye Jingtian said.
"I'll go to Qin Yuan's side, you two, go back to the boss and report to Lord Zhuge, first capture the members of the Yun family, and then lead people to surround the Yun family's mansion!"
Afterwards, Ye Jingtian ordered that he go to Qin Yuan's direction to see where Qin Yuan went.
Although with Qin Yuan's strength, he does not need his help, but I am afraid that something will happen.
"it is good!"
Wang Shiyuan and Zhang Wan set off immediately without any hesitation.
……
Ancient Yunzhou, splendid ancient palace.
"Grandfather, something has happened!"
The middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament came quickly and said anxiously.
"Hustle and panic, how decent is it, say it!"
The old voice, who was in the darkness and couldn't see clearly, said calmly.
"There are people in the Golden Knife Camp, and they found Anjifang and the Black Sand Gang."
The middle-aged man said anxiously.
"What did you say?!"
The old voice seemed to get up suddenly, and his tone changed drastically, no longer as stable as Mount Tai.
