Chapter 178 Going to Jackdaw Ferry Again
Gu Mo put down the bowl in his hand and asked in shock: "Destroy the whole family?"
"Yes," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "It's about exterminating the clan. We only received the news today. As you know, our Six Gates' supervision of Mobei is not very strong right now. Simply put, our Six Gates haven't been able to enter the territory of the Big Knife Sect yet, so there is a big lag in the news."
Gu Mo frowned slightly and said, "That's not normal. Logically speaking, even if you mentioned earlier that some evil masters were suspected of practicing zombie skills, there's no need for them to destroy the Dadao Sect, right? The Dadao Sect is not some small sect. Unlike those previous massacres of villages and clans, the destruction of the Dadao Sect will inevitably attract the attention of the entire Mobei martial arts world, which is inconsistent with their usual style."
Zhuo Qingfeng said, "It's more than just a matter of incompatibility. I feel like this is a blatant declaration of war. Based on the information about zombie skills that Yuchi Feng, the head of the Big Knife Sect, had mentioned before, and based on some documents we found on the Six Gates side."
Practicing Zombie Kung Fu only requires living human blood to suppress the cold poison, not necessarily for cultivation. In other words, this kind of large-scale extermination was completely unnecessary. Even when He Changqing was practicing Zombie Kung Fu, he never killed a large number of people at once. The reason he was discovered back then was mainly because the order in the Mobei underworld was relatively stable at the time, so he only massacred a few small villages before being discovered.
But the situation in Mobei is different now. Evil forces are at work, and no sect should be forced to deal with its own problems. Village and clan massacres have occurred frequently in recent years, but unless the incidents are too drastic, they attract little attention. If you hadn't killed the Dragon and Tiger heroes, exposing the Zombie Kung Fu, no one would have known it still existed.
Now, because the Dragon and Tiger heroes have been exposed, normally, those other people who practice zombie skills should be more cautious, practice secretly, and occasionally kill a few people to suck their blood, which would not attract much attention from the Mobei martial arts world.
But the reality is that they've publicly exterminated an entire clan, one of the eight great sects of Mobei. Needless to say, this incident will cause unrest in the Mobei martial arts world, and all factions will take it seriously, bringing back the events of the past. The major factions will undoubtedly join forces to investigate, after all, all eight major sects participated in the suppression of He Changqing back then.
So, this method, to me, feels like someone is declaring war, openly using zombie skills to wipe out the entire clan. This is directly telling the eight major sects that he is coming for revenge! "
After listening to Zhuo Qingfeng's analysis, Gu Mo felt that it made sense.
Because he knew very well that He Changqing was not dead.
The system cannot issue a task to a dead person.
It can be basically confirmed that He Changqing has been hiding for thirty years and has been secretly training a large number of subordinates who practice zombie skills, such as the Dragon and Tiger Heroes, and those people who were suspected of practicing zombie skills by Zhuo Qingfeng.
Perhaps, He Changqing originally had some revenge plan, but now that the Dragon and Tiger duo were exposed, he was forced to advance his plan.
Gu Mo asked: "So, what are your plans now?"
"Of course we're investigating," Zhuo Qingfeng said, picking up a cup of tea. "This is a great opportunity for us, the Six Sects. The Da Dao Sect was wiped out. Whether the mastermind behind this is He Changqing, as you guessed, or He Changqing's successor, there's no doubt that it will affect the entire Mobei martial arts world.
We, the Six Gates, can take this opportunity to investigate the zombie skills and the Da Dao Sect's extermination, and thus legitimately intervene in the Mobei martial arts world. The various Mobei forces will have nothing to say. Even if they have government connections, they can't say we, the Six Gates, can't participate in the investigation, right?"
Gu Mo nodded slightly. Although Zhuo Qingfeng's words sounded ruthless, they were indeed ruthless. After all, for the Six Gates, they really didn't care whether the martial arts sects were destroyed or not. They only cared about whether the Six Gates could suppress the martial arts world.
Gu Chudong, who was drinking porridge, suddenly said, "Brother Zhuo, don't say that. When I hear you say that, it feels like you, the Six Sects, are the masterminds behind this. It's like you, the Six Sects, deliberately wiped out the entire Big Knife Sect just to find a reason to interfere in the Mobei martial arts world."
Zhuo Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Sister Chu Dong, I won't hide it from you. More than two hundred years ago, when the Six Gates were first established, they did resort to the thief crying thief tactic quite a bit in order to suppress the martial arts world. Of course, that was at the beginning. The Six Gates wouldn't resort to those tactics anymore."
"No wonder people say officials are all black-hearted!" Gu Chudong complained.
Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said to Gu Mo, "Brother Gu, you have to help me stand up for me. I'm going to rush to Jackdaw Ferry right now. By now, all the martial arts sects in Mobei are definitely rushing there. The Six Gates must take this opportunity to publicly show themselves to the Mobei martial arts community. In addition, now that the Big Knife Sect has been wiped out, the martial arts landscape in the Jackdaw Ferry area will also change. The Six Gates must take this opportunity to control the Jackdaw Ferry area."
Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "It's perfectly reasonable for the Six Gates to intervene in this matter. No one from the major sects would dare to openly oppose it, right? It's even more unlikely that anyone would actually dare to take action against the Six Gates. This time, things are different. The sects won't send in rogues. Even though the Six Gates don't have much authority in the Mobei region, the leaders of the various sects can't be fools. They'll definitely put on a show. Why do you need me to support you?"
Zhuo Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Gu, you don't need to fight for this platform. All you need to do is follow us from the Six Gates. The various factions in the Mobei martial arts world are not stupid. They will definitely guess that the Six Gates will use this opportunity to interfere in the Mobei martial arts world.
They can't stop it, but they can resist it. The simplest method is to elect a highly respected martial arts master to lead the investigation. Under the pretext of "jianghu affairs," they can form their own investigation team and then secretly disobey us, the Six Gates. However, if you publicly declare that you will also participate in the investigation of the Dadao Sect's massacre, I wonder who in the Mobei martial arts world would dare to take the lead? Unless someone considers themselves more virtuous than you, the great hero of Yunzhou, one of the Ten Great Masters of Qian Kingdom, the world's number one ghostwriter with a hatred for evil and boundless righteousness!"
Gu Mo: “…”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't let us get involved in your power struggles. I'm really interested in investigating the zombie kung fu, so I'll go with you. But, Brother Zhuo, don't just focus on seizing power; we still have to investigate the murderer!"
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "The murderer must be investigated. This zombie skill is a huge hidden danger. If this matter is not handled properly, even if I successfully take over Mobei in the future, the zombie skill will continue to haunt me and will always be a big problem.
The most important thing is that the person behind the scenes, whether it is He Changqing's successor or He Changqing himself, dares to declare war openly at this time. His strength is definitely extraordinary. If it is the successor, it would be okay, but if it is really He Changqing, it will be troublesome.
"He Changqing was a master back then, and now he's been in hiding for thirty years. I'm afraid his zombie skills have reached their peak. Who knows how strong he is? If I don't find him quickly while you're here, won't there be a bloody storm later?"
……
On that day, Zhuo Qingfeng gathered more than a hundred elite members of the Six Gates and set off. Zhuo Qingfeng attached great importance to this matter and brought Captain Zhong Lianshan and Deputy Captain Chen Yin with him. One of them was nicknamed Four Eyes and the other nicknamed Night Owl. Both of them were top experts in investigating cases.
Brother and sister Gu Mo and Gu Chudong also came along.
Originally, Gu Mo wanted Gu Chudong to stay in Changling County to rest, as she had been feeling down recently due to the Dawangzhuang incident. However, Gu Chudong disagreed and insisted on staying with him. To show that she had recovered, she showed off a few large meat buns in front of Gu Mo.
Gu Mo didn't insist. From the bottom of his heart, he felt it would be a good idea for Gu Chudong to experience a bit more of the cruelty of the martial arts world, just like when he'd taken seven-year-old Gu Chudong with him. Back then, Gu Chudong didn't even dare to hit anyone, but later, she slowly became a man who would chop anyone down without hesitation. Now, the martial arts world they faced was deeper and broader, requiring a higher level of character to be tempered.
More than a hundred people rushed towards Jackdaw Ferry.
It took four or five days to reach Dadaomen.
However, when they arrived, the Dadao Sect was already holding a funeral. The entire sect was in mourning, and some Dadao Sect disciples in mourning clothes were welcoming the guests outside the mountain gate.
The Da Dao Sect was annihilated that night, meaning that all the members of the sect were killed, not the entire sect. After all, in such a large sect, there would always be some people out doing business or visiting relatives at any time.
"The hero from Yunzhou is here!"
"And the recently established Inspector of the Six Gates of Mobei is here too. I think his name is Zhuo Qingfeng."
"I heard that the hero of Yunzhou is blind. Is that true?"
"You'll know when you go and see. This is the Grandmaster who ranks tenth on the Qian Kingdom's Heavenly Ranking. It's said that he's only in his early twenties."
"..."
When Gu Mo and his group arrived outside the gate of Dadaomen Mountain, the disciples and guests of Dadaomen all received the news, which caused a sensation for a while, and many people came down the mountain to greet them.
At the mountain gate, after some polite exchanges,
Gu Mo also understood the general situation of the Dadao Sect now.
Not a single second-generation disciple of the Dadao Sect remained, leaving only a few third-generation disciples and some outer disciples. It was truly in decline. However, after all, there was still some kinship, and many sects in the Mobei martial arts world came to pay their respects. The other seven of the eight major sects also came to pay their respects, and each sect's leader came in person.
Gu Mo, Zhuo Qingfeng, and the others were welcomed up the mountain, and then sneaked into the main hall to burn incense and offer condolences. After completing the formalities, Zhuo Qingfeng took advantage of the presence of the leaders of the major sects and directly said, "Everyone, I am here today, first, to express my condolences to the people who were killed in the Big Knife Sect, and second, to investigate the murderer behind it. You are all righteous people in the Mobei Jianghu and famous martial artists. You will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Big Knife Sect suffer this disaster. Therefore, I am here to ask for your help!"
