In the inner hall of the Patrol Hall, the Ghost Hand Monarch and the others were looking at Chu Xiu's expression.
Chu Xiu had a gloomy and angry expression when he was outside, but now that he was back in the inner hall, Chu Xiu was expressionless, only showing a thoughtful expression.
After a long time, Chu Xiu suddenly looked up at the Ghost Hand Monarch and asked, "How much do you know about Swordking City?"
The Ghost Hand Monarch was stunned for a moment, but he still replied, "I don't know much, most of it is hearsay."
"Then, do you think Swordking City is a righteous Sect with a strong sense of justice? They can disregard their own interests for the sake of exterminating demons. "
The Ghost Hand Monarch shook his head and said, "It's true that Swordking City is a righteous Sect, but it's absolutely not to this extent.
How can there be any absolute good people in the current society? They were all people who wouldn't do anything without benefits. If everyone really disregarded their own personal interests for the sake of exterminating evil, then the Jianghu's demonic path would have been wiped out long ago.
In fact, it can't be said that there are no such Sects, but such stubborn Sects won't be able to flourish and will most likely die prematurely. "
A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Xiu's mouth and he said, "If that's the case, then it's interesting. Don't you feel that Swordking City's actions are a bit strange?
The Ghost King Sect was a devil dao sect that had completely declined and was on the verge of extinction. Although they had some relations with the Kunlun Devil Cult, causing them to be cursed by everyone in the pugilistic world, they would at most exterminate the other party after they stepped into their territory. They were not like the Sword King City, who actually sent out their elite experts to pursue them for thousands of miles, as if they had an irreconcilable enmity with the Ghost King Sect.
But as far as I know, the two sides don't seem to have such deep enmity, right? "
The Ghost Hand Monarch nodded and said, "I haven't heard of this, but the Ghost King Sect's people are all lunatics. They like to kill people to refine pills and nurture their own Yin Ghosts. What if they kill someone important in Swordking City?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "That's possible, but can you see any hatred in the eyes of Swordking City's cultivators? No, these Swordking City's cultivators want to hunt down the Ghost King Sect's people. Their goal isn't revenge, nor is it to exterminate evil. It's as if they are here to complete a mission. This is very interesting. "
Ghost Hand Monarch scratched his head. He didn't think that far. Previously, he thought that Chu Xiu was going to attack Swordking City. After all, the Chu Xiu he knew wasn't the kind of person who would swallow a loss.
The Yue Clan of the Northern Mountains, which had been annihilated by Chu Xiu in the past, was proof of that. As long as they offended this person, it did not matter if they died sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you can leave. If Swordking City asks you to search, then do so. There's no need to disobey them. But if you really see the Ghost King Sect's people, let Swordking City's people make the first move. Don't rush to your deaths like idiots. "
Ghost Hand Monarch and the others nodded. There was no benefit in doing so. Even if Chu Xiu didn't say anything, they wouldn't be stupid enough to throw away their lives.
After the Ghost Hand King and the others left, Chu Xiu's eyes revealed a look of contemplation.
He felt that there was something wrong with Swordking City's people. He was also searching for some information about Swordking City in his mind.
Chu Xiu was confident in remembering some of the major events in the original plot, but he couldn't remember some of the minor details.
During this time, apart from some major events related to Swordking City, the only time and place related to Swordking City was when they seemed to have obtained something related to the Kunlun Devil Cult. It seemed to have caused some competition, but in the end, nothing came of it.
Thinking of Ghost King Sect's origin, Swordking City couldn't possibly have something related to the Kunlun Devil Cult, right?
Perhaps Swordking City didn't want others to know about it, so they sent their disciples to hunt down the Ghost King Sect's people. Even if the other party hid in the Guanzhong torture room, Swordking City still wouldn't let them go.
Moreover, judging from Swordking City's attitude, they didn't want to cooperate with Guanzhong torture room. Instead, they put themselves in the main position and only allowed the people from Guanzhong torture room to cooperate. Perhaps it wasn't because they were conceited, but because they didn't want Guanzhong torture room to interfere too deeply in this matter.
They had to be the ones to capture and kill people. As for the things, they naturally had to be the ones to bring them back.
"Kunlun Devil Cult? Very interesting. "
Chu Xiu pinched his chin, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.
In this life, he had already walked a completely different path from the original story. In the end, he could still encounter something related to the Kunlun Demon Sect. Could this be fate?
However, Chu Xiu didn't care about this kind of thing. He was a very realistic person. As long as there were benefits, Chu Xiu wouldn't refuse them, regardless of whether it was a Devil Sect or a Divine Sect.
But now, he still wanted to see how the people from Swordking City would deal with it.
Gu Jiangliu and the others' methods weren't out of the expectations of the Guanzhong torture room's experts. Their methods were very crude. Basically, they searched small cities one by one. Moreover, they were led by Swordking City's own people. They didn't give Du Guangzhong and the others any chance to command them. This caused Du Guangzhong and the others to curse inwardly. In the end, they simply gave up and let Swordking City's people do whatever they wanted.
In the end, Swordking City's people went back and forth in Jian Province for several days without finding any clues. However, the Ghost King Sect's people once again exterminated them. This made the experts of Swordking City furious.
At this time, Chu Xiu was sure that Swordking City's people had ulterior motives in hunting down the Ghost King Sect's experts.
If they simply wanted to exterminate the Devil Cult or take revenge, it would be very simple. Chu Xiu could rely on his own strength to find clues. Moreover, he had almost left one person behind. With the power of the entire Guanxi Punishment Hall, Chu Xiu could find all the Ghost King Sect's people in less than three days and kill them all.
As a result, Swordking City's people were in a very difficult situation. They didn't even have a trace of harvest.
In Jian Province's Inspector's Council Chamber, Gu Jiangliu, who had been running all over Jian Province for several days without any results, directly found Chu Xiu and asked angrily, "Chu Xiu, did your people do this on purpose? When looking for the remnants of the Ghost King Sect, they were all listless and didn't work hard. Is this how you cooperate with me? "
Chu Xiu said lightly, "How else do you want me to cooperate with you, Mr. Gu? I only have less than three hundred constables and constables under me, you are bringing them to search one place after another, that is treating the Ghost King sect people as idiots, won't they run when they hear the news? Also, our Jianghu constables are not used like this, if you let them spread out and act on their own, I dare to guarantee, within three days they will be able to dig out the Ghost King Sect people's whereabouts for you. "
Gu Jiangliu suddenly frowned. He didn't trust the constables of Guanzhong torture room, so he brought them around as coolies.
If he let these constables investigate, they might find something unusual about the Ghost King Sect's warriors and report it to the headquarters of Guanzhong torture room, then his efforts would be in vain.
Swordking City was indeed not afraid of the Guanzhong torture room, but this was Guanzhong, a place that belonged to the Guanzhong torture room.
He might be overbearing in front of Wei Jiuduan, but if he dared to act like this in front of Guan Siyu, even if Guan Siyu crippled him on the spot, the people of Swordking City wouldn't be able to say anything.
He didn't even know the difference between superiors and inferiors, so he deserved to die.
Just as Gu Jiangliu was in a dilemma, Wei Hanshan suddenly walked in and laughed, "Mr. Gu, are you in trouble? I have an idea that can allow Mister Gu to quickly dig out the remnants of the Ghost King Sect. "
Chu Xiu looked at Wei Hanshan coldly and said, "Wei Hanshan, what are you doing here? Jianzhou prefecture has nothing to do with you. "
Wei Hanshan chuckled and said, "Although the Jianzhou Prefecture is your territory, it also belongs to the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall. What, a dignified patrol like me doesn't even have the right to enter this place?"
Gu Jiangliu could naturally hear the conflict between Wei Hanshan and Chu Xiu.
But he couldn't be bothered to care about it now. He looked at Wei Hanshan and said, "You just said you have an idea? What is it? "
Wei Hanshan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a good idea. It's just a very simple trick.
Most of the Jianzhou prefecture is plains, so the Ghost King Sect can't hide outside. They can only hide in the city. The more people there are, the safer they are.
So as long as we can seal all the cities in Jianzhou prefecture at the same time until we find traces of the other party, it will be enough.
There are so many martial arts forces in the small cities in Jianzhou prefecture, and they can all cooperate with you in Swordking City. "
After Wei Hanshan said this, Gu Jiangliu and the others nodded, feeling that what he said made some sense. But the expressions of Du Guangzhong and the others suddenly changed.
This Wei Hanshan was very sinister. This move of his had tricked all the martial arts forces in the Jianzhou Prefecture, as well as Chu Xiu!
What did Jianzhou prefecture rely on to make money now? Of course it was the smuggling business.
Although there were fewer merchants coming and going because of the Ghost King Sect, there were still a lot of people.
But if the city was sealed, people from the outside could not get in, and people inside could not get out. At that time, people would be in a panic, and who would be willing to come to Jianzhou prefecture to do business?
Even if the people from the Ghost King Sect were eventually found and successfully eliminated, the Jian Zhou government's actions would still damage the reputation of the Jian Zhou government. It could be imagined that in the future, the number of merchants that would come to the Jian Zhou government would definitely decrease by a large amount. Those martial arts factions would earn less, and naturally, Chu Xiu would earn less.
