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

On Gu Chen and Tie Yangtian's side.

After arriving at Zhenshi County.

Tie Yangtian then took Gu Chen directly to see Ling Gang, the head of the Zhenshi County Night Watch.

Upon Gu Chen's arrival, Ling Gang immediately granted Gu Chen the authority to mobilize Night Watch personnel.

This allows Gu Chen to conduct his investigation with full freedom.

of course.

Gu Chen's investigation into this matter did not require the involvement of other Night Watch personnel.

But he couldn't say it outright, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Gu Chen directly instructed Tie Yangtian to take a group of people and secretly travel with him to Gushan County to meet with Dong Kui, the head of the Gushan County Night Watch.

They were taken to Datong Village to examine the traces left behind when the villagers of Datong Village were massacred.

Dong Kui led everyone back to the scene in Datong Village.

Now the area is deserted.

After the entire village was wiped out.

All the grain and property of the villagers were looted by people from other villages.

This village now shows signs of corruption.

Gu Chen asked, "When exactly did these people from Datong Village disappear? When you found them, did you only find the remains of a few villagers' bodies, and the bodies of the others were nowhere to be found?"

"Reporting to you, sir, we received a report half a month ago that the people of Datong Village had all disappeared, so we came to investigate. When we arrived at the scene, we found only a few corpses and limbs. We had people search for the others in Gushan County for many days, but there was no trace of them. So we suspect that the other people in Datong Village were also killed. As for the corpses, if they were killed by demons, they may have been eaten by demons. If they were not killed by demons, we don't know," Dong Kui replied.

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Then Gu Chen led his men to survey the village around the site.

Smell here, sniff there.

Sometimes he appears to be deep in thought, and sometimes he seems to be absent-minded.

It's as if they're really investigating a case.

of course.

These were all just a show put on by Gu Chen for them.

If I don't pretend to come and challenge him, how will I explain how he knew the information after he uses the copper bowl to exchange for it?

It's hard to explain.

Therefore, Gu Chen's plan is...

He first pretended to bring everyone to the scene to check it out, and then told Tie Yangtian that he wanted to act alone.

Then, after spending a few days slacking off outside, you can go back and tell Tie Yangtian that he has found out.

Just have Tie Yangtian secretly lead his men to close the net.

After investigating in the village, Gu Chen returned to Gushan County and asked Dong Kui a series of questions.

Then he returned to Zhenshi County City with Tie Yangtian.

after that.

Gu Chen instructed Tie Yangtian to investigate information and share it with him during this period. This included files from the Surveillance Department detailing recent disappearances of rogue cultivators, as well as reports from various sects, families, and gangs within Zhenshi County detailing personnel losses due to their infighting.

After reviewing all the files.

Gu Chen began to ponder.

Tie Yangtian accompanied him throughout and asked, "Junior Brother, how was it? Were there any doubts or breakthroughs?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen replied, "Yes, but I cannot say it at the moment."

Gu Chen looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Tie, I plan to investigate this matter secretly by myself. I don't want anyone else from the Zhenshi County Night Watch to participate, so as not to alert the enemy if too many people get involved. Besides, the Night Watch has a large number of personnel, and if too many people get involved, it will be easy for the secret agent to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Tie Yangtian pondered for a moment and felt that Gu Chen's words made sense.

Within the Night Watch, although most people are loyal.

I'm afraid there might be spies from these clandestine cults.

If too many Night Watch personnel are involved, the enemy might detect it prematurely.

"Alright." Tie Yangtian nodded and said, "Then I'll entrust this matter entirely to you to handle in secret. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded and said, "I only have some clues at the moment. We'll have to wait for further investigation and confirmation before we can discuss the specifics. There's nothing we need right now."

Gu Chen finished speaking.

He immediately left Tieyangtian, exited the Zhenshi County Night Watch, and disappeared from Zhenshi County.

He began to act alone.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen was summoned by Tie Yangtian in a grand manner to participate in the investigation of this case.

It quickly became known to various organizations in Zhenshi County.

That evening, at the residence of the Prefect of Zhenshi County.

Tang Meng and his son then summoned the envoy from the Blood Soul Sect. Tang Meng said solemnly, "Tie Yangtian has summoned Gu Chen. You must be careful."

Tang Hong's eyes also revealed a solemn expression as he said, "This Gu Chen is somewhat strange; he is very capable when it comes to tracking down cases."

Back then...

In Luo'an County, it was Gu Chen who discovered his affair.

He instructed Gong Yi to cooperate with the demons of Jiuwang Mountain to secretly capture people for him.

In the end, not only were all the demons of Jiuwang Mountain wiped out by Gu Chen, but Gong Yi also met his demise.

This led to him being targeted by Shangguan Wuqing. In the end, he had to use a top-tier soul attack technique to reconcile with Gu Chen and resolve the crisis.

During this period, Gu Chen has once again become very popular.

In Yuehai County, they cracked a series of cases, including the smuggling case of the Yamamoto family from the island nation, the case of the mining gang members being cult spies, and the case of He Teng, the head of the prefectural night watchman's office, colluding with the island nation.

He was really afraid that Gu Chen would find out something when he came here this time.

The Blood Soul Sect envoy scoffed, "You two are being too cautious. We admit that Gu Chen is indeed quite capable in investigating cases. He was the one who uncovered the Black Heaven Sect, but it was because the Black Heaven Sect provoked him first, and he eventually managed to eliminate them by following the clues."

"We also know about what happened in Yuehai County. Whether it's the fact that Liu Xun, the senior brother of the mining gang, and He Teng, Chen Lei's disciple, colluded with the Japanese, without exception, it was always these two who provoked Gu Chen first, and only then did Gu Chen follow the clues and find out that they had dirty hands."

"Our Blood Soul Sect has never had any contact with Gu Chen from beginning to end, and what we have done has absolutely nothing to do with him. He probably hasn't even heard of our sect. In addition, all the evidence has been erased by us. There's no way he could find out. You two can rest assured." The Blood Soul Sect envoy was very confident.

Upon hearing this, Tang Meng and Tang Hong both frowned.

The Blood Soul Cult envoy still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.

Gu Chen, ever since they learned that Tie Yangtian had invited him here.

I have carefully analyzed the process of his investigation into those cases.

It seems that he always solves the case in just a few days, and he doesn't seem to use any manpower or resources to investigate during that time.

It was very strange, as if someone had secretly told him the truth.

They were still unsure.

Especially since this Blood Soul Cult envoy is so arrogant and has let his guard down.

There's no rush now. If Gu Chen finds out about them, I'll probably be implicated too.

Although they were not directly involved in the Blood Soul Cult doing those things.

However, it is a fact that they secretly suppressed some cases for the Blood Soul Cult.

It is also a fact that they accepted Blood Soul Pills and silver from the Blood Soul Sect.

If the Blood Soul Cult is discovered, they will be in trouble.

"It's better to take this more seriously. Gu Chen isn't as simple as you think. If things don't work out, you should evacuate Zhenshi County first. Gu Chen can't stay here for long. He'll probably have to go back to Lihuo Prefecture to take up his post as the head of the prefecture's night watchman's office soon. You can come back after he leaves," Tang Hong suggested.

He was still wary of Gu Chen, worried that this matter would be exposed because of Gu Chen.

"Young Master Tang is being too cautious. There's absolutely no need for the entire Blood Soul Sect to withdraw from Zhenshi County. At worst, we can just hide even deeper during this period and not show our faces at all," the Blood Soul Sect envoy replied.

These two, father and son, are just too paranoid.

Can the Black Heaven Sect compare to the hidden abilities of their Blood Soul Douluo?

The Black Heaven Cult is a third-rate cult, not even close to being as good as it.

Otherwise, given the heinous acts committed by their Blood Soul Sect, and their inability to conceal their actions, they would have been wiped out eight hundred times over long ago.

Tang Meng and his son shook their heads when they saw that the Blood Soul Cult envoy still didn't seem to take it seriously.

I've already made up my mind; I'll cut off all contact with them for the time being.

Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, we won't be able to operate at all.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen...

After leaving Tieyang Tianhou.

In the wilderness, Gu Chen used the Bone Shrinking Disguise Technique to change his appearance and figure, and changed into the clothes of a rogue cultivator.

Then, in a secluded spot in the wild.

He took out a copper bowl and directly transmitted the information: "I want to exchange information about the recent disappearances of those rogue cultivators in Zhenshi County, who captured them, and the recent increase in personnel losses among many sects, families, and gangs in Zhenshi County due to personnel elimination. Did they really die from mutual friction, or for other reasons? Also, what is the situation of the mastermind behind the destruction of Datong Village?"
