The sun was shining brightly.
The whole Yangzhou City was shrouded in peace and tranquility.
The atmosphere among the citizens in the city was quite harmonious.
The cheerful atmosphere could be seen everywhere.
Some people had already passed on what happened in Yunzhou City to Yangzhou City.
The people knew that in order to stop Gojoseon Zhennan's massacre, Li Wuyou went to Yunzhou City alone and fought with the entire Southern Battlefront Army.
They also knew that Li Wuyou killed Gojoseon Zhennan without caring about his own life.
He also saved the people of Yunzhou City.
The people were easily deceived.
They were also the easiest to instigate.
In addition, some people arranged by Li Wuyou and Qiu Yunhai deliberately spread the news among the people. Everything seemed to be so logical. Li Wuyou became the idol of the whole Yangzhou City.
Everyone was saying that Li Wuyou was really for the country and the people.
Although he was broken, he was much better than the hypocrite Seongdeokroku.
That guy only wanted to seize the power of the Emperor and rebel.
He never thought about the real Great Zhou.
He never thought about the people.
Now Gojoseon Zhennan's breakfast, Yunzhou and Dianzhou were in the most serious disaster. The Superintendent of the Eastern Military Factory had already gone to Yunzhou to solve the crisis without caring about her own life.
Seongdeokroku was still playing his little tricks in the imperial court.
He almost instantly became the target of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone scolded him.
They cursed him to die a horrible death.
At the same time, they only supported Li Wuyou and the young Emperor.
They hoped that they could rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty to what it used to be, strong and great.
Buzz!
The main hall of the government office of Yangzhou City was bright.
Li Wuyou was still cultivating in the main hall. The third level of the Vajra Beast Form.
He was absorbing the energy of the Black Flame Mastiff.
After a few days of cultivation, his strength had improved again.
The Black Flame Mastiff's black flames had already completely refined his meridians.
In other words, all the meridians in his body had been refined once. However, the Black Flame Mastiff's energy had not been completely depleted. He still needed to go through it again.
As long as he completed this, Li Wuyou would have completely broken through to the third layer of the Vajra Realm.
"Superintendent, Commander Qiu requests to see you."
Just as Li Wuyou was concentrating on his cultivation, a series of deep footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. There was also a rather respectful and hoarse voice.
This man was the East Depot servant who had been waiting outside the door to deliver the message to Li Wuyou.
"Qiu Yunhai?"
Li Wuyou slowly withdrew from his cultivation and said in a low voice.
"Let him in."
Qiu Yunhai had been in Yunzhou recently. He was in charge of supervising the Qinzhou Army's purge of the Southern Battlefront Army.
Logically speaking, if it wasn't something important, he shouldn't have come back at this time.
Since he was back, there must be something.
Li Wuyou took a deep breath and exhaled. He slowly calmed down the Black Flame Mastiff's energy that he had just mobilized.
Creak!
Just as he calmed down the energy, the door was pushed open from the outside. Qiu Yunhai walked into the room with a solemn expression.
He took two steps forward and knelt at Li Wuyou's feet. His expression was solemn and somewhat worried as he said in a low voice.
"Superintendent, I've heard some news about the Heavenly Mystery Gate."
"Hmm?"
Li Wuyou frowned when he heard the news. Then, a trace of coldness appeared on his face as he asked in a low voice.
"Let's hear it."
This was the second time Li Wuyou had heard about the Heavenly Mystery Gate.
The first time, the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate did not appear.
Half a month had passed since then.
Qiu Yunhai had personally delivered the news about the Heavenly Mystery Gate?
He was also a little curious.
"It's like this."
After Qiu Yunhai received Li Wuyou's order, he took a deep breath and continued.
"The people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate did not appear in Yangzhou directly. Instead, they have started to appear in Yunzhou and Dianzhou frequently. They seem to be doing something in the name of sorcery."
"When they were in Yunzhou, they claimed that they could see the souls of the dead. Then, there were rumors that they were helping the people who had been massacred to find their dead family members."
"When they lured the souls of the dead out of the Nether World, the wronged souls were spreading unfavorable news about you, Superintendent."
"Now, people are saying that Gojoseon Zhennan's massacre was planned by you, Superintendent. You drove Gojoseon Zhennan crazy, so he massacred the entire city. Then, you appeared again to deceive the people!"
"Now, this news has been secretly spread in Yunzhou City. Similar rumors have also appeared in Dianzhou."
"It is said that the wronged souls of the Zhennan Palace have appeared in Dianzhou and are constantly spreading the news about the massacre of the Zhennan Palace. Many people have begun to believe it!"
Smack!
When Qiu Yunhai finished speaking, Li Wuyou's face became gloomy, and there was a murderous intent that could not be concealed.
He did not care about fame.
He did not care about fame and fortune.
He only cared about his own strength. He only cared about whether he could truly ascend the Heavenly Gate and enter another realm.
The trust and gratitude of the people, and the luck that came from it, were things that he had to obtain.
He had spent so much effort.
He had put in so much effort.
He could not let the Heavenly Mystery Gate, which had appeared out of nowhere, disrupt his plan.
Li Wuyou's heart was already bursting with murderous intent that could not be concealed.
He had to kill this so-called person from the Heavenly Mystery Gate.
Kill everyone from the Heavenly Mystery Gate!
Completely eradicate them from the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Have you found out the exact location of the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate?"
Li Wuyou raised his head. There was an indescribable gloom in his eyes as he stared at Qiu Yunhai and asked in a deep voice.
"I haven't found out yet."
A trace of shame appeared on Qiu Yunhai's face as he replied in a low voice.
"They seem to be deliberately avoiding the pursuit of the East Department. Our men have tried their best to find them, but they appear and disappear like ghosts. There are no clues at all."
At this point, Qiu Yunhai's brows furrowed slightly.
He knew that the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Mystery Gate had a very bad impact on the superintendent's plan.
If they could not find these people quickly, the superintendent's efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
In the end, it was all for naught.
However, he had really put in a lot of effort to find the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate. He had even deployed many spies from the East Department, but it was all for naught.
The people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate seemed to have really disappeared.
"You can't find them?"
When Li Wuyou heard Qiu Yunhai's reply, his brows furrowed even more.
There was also a sinister aura that was stuck in his chest, and he was almost unable to vent it out.
However, after a moment of hesitation, he suppressed this aura.
If the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate were really as mysterious as the rumors said, then their strength must not be weak.
Although Qiu Yunhai and Shen Lianxin were strong, it was only relative to ordinary people.
They could not find a real expert, such as a Vajra Realm expert like him.
This was normal.
Hence, he could no longer rely on Qiu Yunhai and the other ordinary people.
He could only rely on himself to find the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate and get rid of them. Everything would be settled once and for all.
"Go and send men from the East Department to capture those who have come into contact with the Heavenly Mystery Gate and those who have spread the news about the Heavenly Mystery Gate. Kill half of them and leave the other half alive!"
Li Wuyou's eyes flickered as he ordered in a low voice.
Capture them all.
Firstly, it could prevent the news from spreading. Secondly, it could cause a huge panic among the people.
It could stop the news completely.
Killing half of them and leaving the other half alive was also to change the people's minds.
Those who were killed could only admit that they were unlucky.
After seeing so many people being killed because of the Tianxuan Gate incident, the remaining Xie people didn't dare to say anything else.
They would continue to follow what they had said and follow the crowd's lead.
Even if they did not follow the crowd's lead, they could only remain silent.
This was Li Wuyou's idea.
As for the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate, if they were really enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens, they would probably come to rescue the people who were imprisoned and waiting to be slaughtered.
If they came, it would be just right for him to get rid of them.
If they didn't come, that would be just as well. Their words would be completely destroyed without any attack.
Without anyone to spread the news, their rumors would disappear completely.
"I understand!"
Qiu Yunhai also understood what Li Wuyou meant. A trace of unconcealable coldness flashed across his face.
There was an obvious killing intent.
At the same time, he admired Li Wuyou very much.
After receiving the news, he had found a solution in such a short time.
The superintendent was really amazing.
No wonder she was the superintendent.
"Please rest assured, Superintendent. Within three days, all news about the Heavenly Mystery Gate will be cut off. No one will speak of it again."
"I will deploy all the crossbow guards of the East Depot to follow the superintendent. If the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate dare to cause trouble for us, they will die without a burial place."
Qiu Yunhai's tone was also filled with a strong killing intent.
In his opinion, everything he had now was given to him by Li Wuyou.
It was all given to him by the East Depot and the superintendent.
If anyone wanted to harm the East Depot and the superintendent, they would be harming him as well.
That person would be his mortal enemy.
He had to kill him!
By hook or by crook.
"Go and do your job!"
Li Wuyou did not say much. He believed in Qiu Yunhai's ability to get things done. He smiled and let the latter leave.
"The Heavenly Mystery Gate? You guys are really annoying. I will go my way and you will cross your single-plank bridge. Isn't that good? Why do you have to cause trouble for me? "
"Do you guys really think that I am a clay figurine? That anyone can pinch me? "
"Or do you guys have too much confidence in yourselves?"
Li Wuyou licked his lips. There was an unconcealable ferocity in his eyes.
Since you refuse to take the path to heaven and barge into hell, there is no door to hell.
Then I won't give you a chance.
I will send you to hell.
After saying that, Li Wuyou took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He began to cultivate the eighteenth level of the Vajra Beast Form.
He also digested and absorbed the energy of the Black Flame Mastiff.
Although he was confident that he could deal with most of the trouble, he would not be too arrogant.
He still had to cultivate what he should.
When he broke through to the third level of the Vajra Realm, he would be even more confident.
…
Cloud State City.
In a remote and narrow inn, the cold wind whistled past. The tattered flag at the entrance of the inn was constantly swaying, hitting the door frame with a rustling sound.
There were not many guests in the inn.
There were only a few people at two or three tables, plus a dozing waiter and an old innkeeper who was fiddling with an abacus out of boredom.
The guests at one of the tables were the people from the Tianxuan Gate who came from the depths of the Changbai Mountains in the north.
They had been in Cloud State for a few days.
In recent days, they had been constantly casting spells and illusions to fool the local people and the people of Dian State. They had also spread the news that Li Wuyou was the mastermind behind the massacre of the city.
With the support of their spells, the news was believed by many people.
The public opinion that Li Wuyou had painstakingly created was slowly collapsing.
In this way, Li Wuyou would not be able to get the people's transportation.
The pair of old men from the Tianxuan Gate had their reasons for doing so.
There were only two ways to deal with Li Wuyou.
One was to stop him from getting transportation, and the other was to kill Li Wuyou directly.
The second way was actually more convenient and simpler. It could be done once and for all and prevent future troubles.
However, this way was very dangerous.
Because Li Wuyou had a Vajra body, his strength was too strong.
This pair of old women were already old and did not have enough strength or confidence to kill Li Wuyou.
If they really did fight, it was very likely that both sides would suffer.
They did not want to take the risk.
Then, they chose the second path, which was to interrupt Li Wuyou's path of transportation.
So that Li Wuyou would have no chance at all.
As long as they stopped him from getting transportation, they would also stop him from climbing the Divine Gate. Then, no one would fight with this pair of old men for a spot.
In this way, they might not need to meet or fight. Everything would be over.
For this family, it was the best ending.
Therefore, they chose this way.
"How was it?"
The family sat in the center of the inn. In the eyes of the guests next to them, this family was eating normally.
However, they were actually discussing the recent events.
What they said was not heard by anyone.
Their expressions and movements were also not seen by anyone.
They had already used a camouflage technique. No one could see the real them.
"The effect is not bad."
The middle-aged man had a cold smile on his face and said proudly, "These people are easy to believe.
"These people are very easy to believe. When we spread the news, they immediately believed it and began to spread it. I estimate that it won't be long before it spreads throughout Yunzhou and Dianzhou."
"When that time comes, that superintendent will have no chance at all …"
