Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Time flies, and another ten days or so have passed.

On Gu Chen's side.

My life has been very regular for the past ten days or so.

They all refined pills during the day at the Cheng family's residence.

At night, I comprehended the secret technique of soul attack and used my true essence to nourish the Blood-Transforming Blade.

For more than ten days, he earned 1,800 taels of silver per day.

Now they have accumulated more than 20,000 taels of silver.

Adding the remaining 30,000 taels, that makes a total of over 50,000 taels.

The future is expected.

Meanwhile, in Zhenshi County...

Tie Yangtian secretly sent people to investigate the recent disappearances of the scattered cultivators in Zhenshi County and the massacre of the entire village of Datong.

However, no clues could be found.

Those wandering cultivators may have disappeared because they left Zhenshi County on their own, or they may have fought with members of those missing forces and been secretly killed.

I can't give a specific argument.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

Zhenshi County is so large, with four prefectures, more than fifty cities, more than six hundred counties, and more than seven thousand towns.

There are countless sects, aristocratic families, and gangs. Almost every day, there are clashes between these forces that result in casualties, and this applies to independent cultivators as well.

The Supervisory Department cannot possibly monitor the specific losses of all factions and the situation of all independent cultivators.

There are no leads here.

We couldn't find any useful information from Datong Village either.

Apart from the remains of a few corpses left at the scene, there was no other useful information.

It can only be speculated that it was done by demons.

But Tie Yangtian felt in his heart that this matter was definitely not that simple.

It's just that the mastermind behind this was too well hidden.

Perhaps they've noticed that they've recently begun secretly collaborating with the Inspectorate's investigation.

They then began to clean up and hide the traces they had left behind.

Ling Gang frowned slightly as he looked at the investigation results submitted by Tie Yangtian.

"They didn't leave a single clue. These people are truly skilled at hiding."

Just because you can't find it doesn't mean there's no problem.

"Keep investigating. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Once we confirm there's a problem, we'll definitely find out." Ling Gang sneered. "At the same time, join forces with the Surveillance Department to intensify our monitoring of the sects, families, gangs, and independent cultivators in Zhenshi County. Tell them that if any of their members suffer losses due to internal conflicts, they must report it immediately."

Since Tie Yangtian wiped out the evil cult Black Heaven Cult within Zhenshi County last time.

Such a heinous incident has never occurred within the territory of Zhenshi County.

If any new cults were to infiltrate, he would be determined to root them out and eradicate them completely.

"Mm." Tie Yangtian nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Old Ling, we can't find out, but someone might be able to help us find out."

"Hmm." Ling Gang looked at him and asked, "Who?"

If such a person exists, why not just bring him in to help investigate the case?

"My junior brother, Gu Chen," Tie Yangtian said.

The incident involving the Black Heaven Cult was discovered by Gu Chen, who then reported it to him.

And after Gu Chen went to Yuehai County.

His series of deeds also prove his outstanding ability in tracking and investigating cases.

The discovery of the Black Heaven Cult was not a coincidence.

Bringing him here might help them find out about this.

Fortunately, Gu Chen's new appointment process hadn't been completed yet, so he had some time.

If Gu Chen comes and investigates this matter, it will be a meritorious deed that can be recorded.

The reward will be substantial.

"Gu Chen, you mean Gu Chen, the chief of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City in Yuehai County?" Ling Gang confirmed.

Gu Chen in the last six months.

It is currently enjoying great popularity in the desolate state.

First, he defeated the two Wen brothers. Then, he cracked a case involving Liu Xun, a disciple of the Mining Gang, colluding with the Yamamoto family of Japan to help them smuggle goods. Next, he defeated He Teng, the fifth disciple of Chen Lei, the former commander of the Wilderness Guard, who was almost a whole realm higher.

Then he defeated Mad Blade of Mad Blade Hall and Ice Maiden of Misty Hall, two of the six halls, and secured his position at number 247 on the Prodigy Ranking.

More than half a month ago, news broke that he had cracked a major smuggling case in Japan, arrested He Teng, an official of the Night Watch who colluded with Japan, destroyed a number of strongholds of the Yamamoto family in Japan, and publicly tried everyone in Yuehai County.

His talent for tracking and investigating cases is truly undeniable.

If we invite him here, we might be able to find out the real culprit behind this.

"That's right." Tie Yangtian nodded. "It's him. My junior brother is about to go to Li Huo Prefecture in Yuehai County to serve as the head of the Night Watch. However, the appointment process for the head has not been completed yet, so he is free during this period. I will personally invite him to come and help us. Perhaps he can find out the truth of this case."

"Okay," Ling Gang said. "Then you should go. If you can get him to come and help us find out the truth, he will have made a great contribution."

"Okay." Tie Yangtian nodded. "Then we shouldn't delay. I'll set off now and try to get him here as soon as possible."

"Go ahead." Ling Gang nodded. "Tell him that whether or not he finds anything after he comes here, we will give him a reward so that he won't have made a wasted trip."

"Okay." Tie Yangtian left.

After leaving the Night Watch, we left the city of Zhenshi County and headed towards Yuehai County.

Please invite Gu Chen.

At this time.

In Yuehai County.

On an island, at a newly established base by personnel newly dispatched by the Yamamoto family of the island nation.

"The investigation is complete." A fifth-rank expert from the Yamamoto family reported to Yamamoto Ryuichi, a fourth-rank expert who was newly dispatched by their family to be in charge of Yuehai County: "Ryuichi-kun, this time, all the strongholds established by Yamamoto Jiro and his group within Yuehai County were wiped out in one fell swoop. The murderers who killed Yamamoto Jiro and his group were the former chief of the Wilderness Guard, Shangguan Wuqing, and several of his disciples. The mastermind behind it was Shangguan Wuqing, a Venerable Earth Realm expert in the Night Watch, and the ones who carried it out were his fourth disciple, Luo Tianxing, and his youngest disciple, Gu Chen."

They arrived more than ten days ago.

this time.

They had been lying in wait, secretly investigating the Yamamoto family's recently destroyed stronghold.

They actually found no clues about Yamamoto Jiro.

Unable to contact.

They immediately concluded that he must have died at the hands of the Night Watchmen.

Otherwise, if he hadn't died, he would have gone back to the island nation.

After all, the rest of the Yamamoto family from the island nation died during the process of Luo Tianxing and his group clearing out the Yamamoto family's strongholds.

Those who didn't die at the time were later publicly executed in the capital of Yuehai County.

Although it was Gu Chen and Luo Tianxing who took the lead in handling this matter.

But Shangguan Wuqing and Gongsun Yuan arrived here ahead of time.

They then assumed it was a scheme orchestrated by Shangguan Wuqing, specifically targeting Chen Lei's faction.

The Yamamoto family was indirectly caught in the crossfire.

The ability of Gu Chen was not highlighted too much.

They didn't actually know that the whole thing was discovered by Gu Chen's investigation.

After all, Gu Chen was just the head of the Night Watch in Jiuwan City, a city-level city.

Their family's strongholds are all in Li Huo Prefecture, but they are not in the same prefecture.

Gu Chen didn't have time to investigate their affairs.

They estimated.

He Teng was exposed because of this.

A major reason for this is that Shangguan Wuqing's people had been keeping an eye on him for a long time. It is estimated that as soon as he took office in Lihuo Prefecture, Shangguan Wuqing arranged for people to keep a close watch on him.

They were hoping he would make a mistake so they could take advantage of the situation to target Chen Lei's faction.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, members of the Yamamoto family went to find He Teng, and they ran right into the line of fire.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain how Luo Tianxing and the others were able to pinpoint the locations of these Yamamoto family strongholds so accurately.

They must have been keeping an eye on them through He Teng's side for a long time.

"The Night Watch is truly cunning. They're fighting amongst themselves, and we've ended up suffering the consequences," Yamamoto Ryuichi said coldly.

The fifth-rank official, Yamamoto Rinji, inquired, "What should we do now? Should we avenge Yamamoto Jiro and the others?"

"Yamamoto Rinji is a fifth-rank master. Anyone who can kill him must be at least a fifth-rank master at the peak of his cultivation. Among the Night Watch personnel sent this time, only Luo Tianxing, the chief of the Yuehai County Night Watch, has that kind of strength." Yamamoto Rinji looked at Yamamoto Ryuichi.

"The Night Watch of Yuehai County has destroyed my Yamamoto family's strongholds twice in a row. Why don't we just kill their chief and vent our anger, and let them know how powerful the Yamamoto family is?" A group of Yamamoto family experts looked at Yamamoto Ryuichi.
