One could not blame the Ghost Hand King for making things so tense. It was indeed very sensitive when it came to the Kunlun Devil Cult.
In Jianghu, the demonic path was not a taboo, but the Kunlun Devil Cult was the taboo of the taboo. In the past, the Kunlun Devil Cult swept the world with its demonic flames. Countless righteous sects could only tremble under its demonic might. No one wanted to experience those days again.
If it was not for the Real Martial Arts Sect's leader, Ning Xuanji, who turned the tide, the righteous path of Jianghu would probably still be struggling under the demonic might.
Hearing the words Kunlun Devil Cult, Chu Xiu's expression was a little strange. This was the path he had to take in the future. He did not expect to come into contact with it now.
"You mean, the person who attacked this time is a remnant of the Kunlun Devil Cult?"
Although it had been a thousand years since the collapse of the Kunlun Devil Cult, people related to the Kunlun Devil Cult of the past could still be found in Jianghu. There were even inheritances left behind by the Kunlun Devil Cult of the past.
Once such an existence was discovered, it would be immediately annihilated by those large sects.
The Ghost Hand King shook his head and said, "It is not a remnant of the Kunlun Devil Cult. It is a remnant of the Ghost King Sect, one of the vassals of the Kunlun Devil Cult.
In the past, the Kunlun Devil Cult's demonic flames were monstrous and oppressed the world. Those righteous sects could only be careful and keep a low profile. However, many of the demonic sects were willing to submit to the Kunlun Devil Cult and be at their beck and call.
However, with the disappearance of Dugu Weiwei after the battle with Ning Xuanji, the Kunlun Devil Cult completely fell apart. The righteous sects joined forces to attack the Kunlun Devil Cult and destroyed it. Those vassal sects were also hit.
Among these vassal sects, there were some loyal sects who chose to live and die with the Kunlun Devil Cult, but most of them chose to escape.
For such a sect, the righteous path of Wulin could not be bothered to waste energy to hunt them down, but there were some evil path sects that had committed heinous sins that must be exterminated, and this Ghost King Sect was one of them.
The people of the Ghost King Sect were sinister and cunning, they were the first to defect from the Kunlun Devil Cult when they saw that things were not right, but in the end they were also hunted down by the Good Faction Wulin for many years and almost disappeared from the Jianghu.
The Ghost King Sect's methods were sinister and evil, one of the best was to refine pills using human bodies, using all kinds of bloody methods to refine human bodies into pills, absorbing the Yin energy and refining Yin ghosts.
It was said that in the Ghost King Sect there was a type of pill called Five Qis Unification Pill, its use was to assist in training and could also be used as medicine to heal the injuries of the Five Qis Unification Realm warriors. The name sounded normal but in fact it was extremely strange.
Among the Five Qis, the heart contained the spirit and belonged to fire, the liver contained the soul and belonged to wood, the spleen contained the will and belonged to earth, the lung contained the soul and belonged to metal, and the kidney contained the essence and belonged to water.
This Five Qis Unification Pill was made from the fresh heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of the warriors, and medicinal materials of the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Now, the warriors of the Liu Family had their five internal organs taken away, so I couldn't help but think of the Ghost King Sect.
Moreover, their brains were taken away and their skin was skinned, which was the style of the Ghost King Sect in the past.
Also, the Ghost King Sect used the Yin energy to refine Yin ghosts, which was a unique secret technique of the Ghost King Sect. The Yin ghosts killed people without a trace.
Arrester Du said that those people of the Liu Family had no external wounds, and there was no trace of Upstanding Qi entering their bodies. This could be done by using Yin ghosts to kill people. "
The Ghost Hand King said so much in one breath, and everyone present was digesting the information. At this time, Chu Xiu suddenly asked, "Ghost Hand King, everyone here is one of us, so you don't need to hide it. These things, I'm afraid, are not as simple as hearsay?"
In the past, some things related to the Kunlun Demon Sect had always been taboo. It was the same for the Ghost King Sect. At the very least, these people here had never heard of the name of the Ghost King Sect. Yet, the Ghost Hand King knew about it so clearly. If this matter was just heard from hearsay, wouldn't it be a little too fake?
The Ghost Hand King smiled bitterly. Since he had already said it, he did not intend to hide it from everyone. The Ghost Hand King sighed and said, "Official Chu guessed right. In fact, I used to be a disciple of the Ghost King Sect, but I was a disciple who was deceived.
In the early years, I was just a trickster who traveled in Jianghu. I accidentally saved a seriously injured Devil Path warrior, who was a member of the Ghost King Sect.
He said that he wanted to take me as a disciple, but in fact, he wanted me to temporarily help him do things, and after he recovered, he prepared to swallow my blood essence and kill me.
Later, his intentions were discovered by me, so I secretly poisoned his medicine and killed him.
Because he was lying to me from the start, he never intended to take me in as a disciple, so he did not pass down some of the Ghost King Sect's secret techniques to me, only some ordinary techniques. Regarding the Ghost King Sect's matters, I also heard it from his mouth, but it was just some minor details, not the main things. "
Chu Xiu nodded his head in understanding. According to what the Ghost Hand King said, the person who did it could really be someone from the Ghost King Sect, but the person's strength should not be too strong.
The use of the Five Qis Unification Pill was used to heal the injuries of the masters of the Five Qis Unification Realm, so Chu Xiu estimated that there should be a master of the Five Qis Unification Realm among the remaining members of the Ghost King Sect, but they should be injured.
It could be seen from the target they chose. The Liu family was a small family with only a cultivator in the Inner Aura Realm.
If the other party had the strength to crush them, then the other party should have attacked martial arts forces like the Luo family with masters of the Three Flower Realm at One's Prominence.
However, at the moment, he had no clue what the Ghost King Sect was, so Chu Xiu could only temporarily order his subordinates to pay attention.
The next few days were peaceful, but on the seventh day, another small force in the Jianzhou Prefecture was destroyed in the same way as the Liu family.
Before Chu Xiu could react, two days later, there was also a massacre in the Shangzhou Prefecture, which belonged to Wei Hanshan, next to the Jianzhou Prefecture.
Three consecutive massacres, all using the same method, was enough to prove the previous speculation of Chu Xiu and the others.
Moreover, the impact of these three massacres was not small. The martial arts forces in the Jianzhou Prefecture also knew that such a group of ruthless villains and thieves had appeared in the local area, and they were all jittery.
Moreover, the number of merchants coming and going to the Jianzhou Prefecture had decreased a lot. After all, there were many places in the entire Guanxi area that could be traded, and no one wanted to stay in such a dangerous place.
In the Jianzhou Prefecture Inspector Hall, Chu Xiu's face was gloomy.
He was the one who lost face when a major case happened in his territory that he could not solve.
The appearance of the remaining members of the Ghost King Sect had seriously affected the business of the Jianzhou Prefecture. The other martial arts forces could not make money, and the one who suffered losses was Chu Xiu himself.
"There are so many Jianghu detectives in the Inspector Hall, and the cooperation of the local martial arts forces in the Jianzhou Prefecture, but there are no clues?"
Du Guangzhong said helplessly, "Of course there are clues, but the other party's methods seem to have scared the brothers under me. When there are fewer people, even if there are clues, they do not dare to go. When reinforcements are called, the other party has disappeared."
The Ghost Hand King suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Constable Du, since your men do not dare to go, how about leaving it to my men? Don't worry, none of my men are afraid of death. "
Du Guangzhong snorted coldly and said, "Leave it to you? If I leave it to you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a trace, let alone find the person! "
The Ghost Hand King and the other assassins from the Blue Dragon Society still had some friction with the martial artists from the Guanzhong Torture Room, and both sides were competing with each other.
Previously, the Ghost Hand King and the others had shown extraordinary talent when they slaughtered the Divine Feathers Sect and the Black Cliff Hall, suppressing Du Guangzhong and the others.
Now, the investigation of the traces of the Ghost King Sect and the others was fully handled by Du Guangzhong and the others, while the Ghost Hand King and the others could only assist from the side.
Every profession had its own specialization. If the Ghost Hand King and the others were in charge of this matter, they probably wouldn't be able to find any traces at all.
Chu Xiu frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop arguing. I will personally take action next time. As long as they are still in the Jianzhou Prefecture, we don't have to worry about not being able to dig them out. Moreover, even if we can't find them, we will force them out of the Jianzhou Prefecture."
The remnants of the Ghost King Sect didn't come for the Jianzhou Prefecture. Their arrival in the Guanzhong region seemed to be very sudden, and they were in a hurry to kill and refine pills to recover their strength.
Previously, Chu Xiu's investigation might have pushed them a little too hard, which led them to go to the Shangzhou Prefecture and make a move again.
This time, Chu Xiu personally took action. If he could completely force the other party to Wei Hanshan's side, it would be good. At that time, Wei Hanshan would be in a terrible situation.
As for what this group of remnants of the Ghost King Sect would do, it was none of Chu Xiu's business. He had never been a person who liked to meddle in other people's business.
Three days later, in the Jianzhou Prefecture's Riverside City, the pedestrians and cultivators on the streets were sparse. It was far from the bustling city of the past.
Riverside City was only a small city, and it was next to the Shangzhou Prefecture. As a place one had to pass between the two prefectures, Riverside City used to be relatively prosperous. At the very least, there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going.
In the end, because of the three consecutive massacres, one of which involved the Shangzhou Prefecture, Riverside City, which was a place one had to pass between the two prefectures, was a little more miserable. The number of merchants and cultivators that came and went decreased by more than half.
At this time, outside an open-air tavern in Riverside City, a group of Jianghu people was drinking and chatting. One of the cultivators wearing a short martial arts suit sighed and said, "Damn it, this business is getting harder and harder. I don't know which bastard is so ruthless to destroy three sects in a row. No one comes to the huge Riverside City anymore."
This cultivator was an escort, but he didn't come from an escort agency. Instead, he was a local tyrant who was in charge of short-distance escorts between the various small cities. Rather than saying that he was protecting the goods, it was better to say that he was a guide. As he was familiar with the martial arts forces and situations of the various small cities, he could lead the way and answer the questions of the merchants, so that they wouldn't offend someone they shouldn't when they first arrived.
Now that there were fewer merchants coming and going, his business had also decreased. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to drink and brag here.
