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

The copper bowl gave feedback that exchanging all this information would cost a total of 20,000 taels of silver.

Twenty thousand taels, more than in the past.

Fortunately, he now has more than 50,000 taels on him.

Enough to exchange.

Hopefully, the intelligence I obtain will yield more in return than the investment of 20,000 taels of silver.

Otherwise, we would lose money.

Gu Chen put the silver into it and selected to exchange!

The silver disappeared.

The copper bowl provides a clue:

[Recently, the major sects, families, and gangs in Zhenshi County have experienced increased personnel losses due to internal conflicts, as well as a rise in the disappearances of rogue cultivators. The culprit behind the massacre in Datong Village is the Blood Soul Cult, a heretical sect that newly entered Zhenshi County after the destruction of the Black Heaven Cult. They secretly capture people to extract large amounts of human souls, essence, and blood energy from ordinary people and cultivators in order to refine Blood Soul Pills.]

Seeing the prompt, Gu Chen understood.

It was definitely done by a cult.

This cult is a new cult that moved in after he destroyed the Black Heaven Cult here.

He remembered that the Black Heaven Cult was a small cult under the Great Evil Cult, Mitian Cult, and was only a third-rate cult.

The Mitian Sect is a top-tier evil cult with a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert in charge.

I wonder what kind of cult the Blood Soul Cult is.

Gu Chen continued to transmit information into the bronze bowl, saying, "I want to exchange for specific information about the Blood Soul Sect's strength."

The copper bowl provided a clue: exchanging for detailed information about the Blood Soul Cult's strength would require five thousand taels of silver.

Gu Chen put the silver in.

The copper bowl provides another clue:

The Blood Soul Cult is a second-rate cult, possessing a leader at the peak of the Core Formation realm and a half-step Grandmaster level, two vice leaders at the early Core Formation realm, five fifth-rank protectors, eighteen sixth-rank elders, forty-eight seventh-rank envoys, thousands of cult members at the Innate realm, and tens of thousands of cult members below the Innate realm.

There are only three experts at the fourth rank, one of whom has reached the peak of the fourth rank, and is one of those who has stepped into the upper three ranks.

They are truly not to be underestimated.

To wipe them out in one fell swoop, the Zhenshi County Night Watchmen alone probably wouldn't be enough.

We must seek help from the Night Watch of the Wilderness State.

He asked his second senior brother, Gongsun Yuan, to bring men to provide support.

When the time comes to destroy them, we can also bring over his fourth senior brother, Luo Tianxing, so that he can also get some credit.

Gu Chen continued to transmit information to the copper bowl: "I want to exchange information on the Blood Soul Cult's undercover agents. Who are the Blood Soul Cult's undercover agents in the Divine Dynasty's institutions such as the Zhenshi County Night Watch, the Surveillance Department, the Divine Garment Department, and the County Governor's Office?"

Before taking action against the Blood Soul Cult.

We need to find out about their undercover activities first.

Otherwise, they'd be notified as soon as they were about to take action.

By then, they will have received the news and all fled Zhenshi County, making it impossible to capture them.

The copper bowl indicated that exchanging this information would cost five thousand taels of silver.

Another five thousand taels.

In total, it has already cost 30,000 taels.

This investment is truly substantial.

I hope he doesn't suffer a loss.

Place the silver in, and the copper bowl immediately gives a hint:

[Tang Meng, the prefect of Zhenshi County, and his son Tang Hong, accepted bribes from the Blood Soul Cult to help them cover up and suppress cases. Zhou Feng, the head of the Surveillance Department, Hu Guangjian, the head of the Divine Garment Department, and Fan Tong, the head of the Night Watch Department, also accepted benefits from the Blood Soul Cult and were responsible for helping the Blood Soul Cult cover up and suppress cases, and secretly passed on official information to the Blood Soul Cult.]

"Good heavens." Looking at these lists, Gu Chen sighed.

The corrosive properties of silver in the secret passage are very strong.

The Blood Soul Sect had only been stationed in Zhenshi County for a short time, yet it had already corrupted the high-ranking officials of the four major divine dynasties' official institutions, except for the Divine Guard Army.

Even Tang Meng, the prefect of Zhenshi County, was involved in this matter.

The prefect's son, Tang Hong, had a dirty past when he was in Luo'an County, and it was only after he discovered Tang Hong's filthy affairs that he found out.

After being warned by his master, he eventually offered him a secret soul-piercing technique called Soul Piercing Cone to reconcile with him, and that was the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, this time he has once again colluded with these cults.

If this matter is reported to higher authorities, he will definitely not be able to escape punishment.

The heads of the other three major official institutions also couldn't escape it.

The head of a county-level official institution was equivalent to the head of a city's night watchman's office, holding the rank of seventh grade.

The Blood Soul Cult's ability to corrupt them in such a short time is quite remarkable.

If I hadn't prepared in advance, I probably would have just brought the message back when Tie Yangtian gathered his men to prepare for action.

The Blood Soul Cult found out soon after, and their efforts were in vain.

Gu Chen then spent another ten thousand taels.

They exchanged information on the locations and combat strength of the Blood Soul Cult's various strongholds.

After you have everything under control.

For the next few days, Gu Chen would return to the Zhenshi County Night Watch every two days, pretending to report the situation to Tie Yangtian alone.

In reality, not a single piece of useful information was given.

On the fifth day, Gu Chen secretly returned to Yuehai County and found his fourth senior brother, Luo Tianxing, to tell him about the situation in Zhenshi County.

Tell him to inform his second senior brother, Gongsun Yuan, to bring over a group of strong members from his faction within the Wilderness Night Watch.

I'm getting ready to rack up merits in Zhenshi County.

then.

That evening, he returned to Zhenshi County, found Tie Yangtian, and began to report the intelligence he had gathered to him.

In a private room at the Zhenshi County Night Watchman's Office.

Only Gu Chen and Tie Yangtian were present.

"Sixth Senior Brother, I have not failed you." Gu Chen said to Tie Yangtian, "After these days of investigation, I have found out the culprit and the person in charge behind the recent events in Zhenshi County."

"You found it!" Tie Yangtian exclaimed excitedly. "I knew it, getting you here would definitely be fine."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded: "However, there are too many forces and people involved here, so Senior Brother should be prepared first."

"Okay." Tie Yangtian nodded, adjusting his mental state.

Since Gu Chen has found out and said this, there must be a lot involved here.

However extensive the investigation was, once he had chosen to investigate, he was prepared to see it through to the end.

Let's find out who exactly is behind all this.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, after my investigation, I have confirmed that the recent increase in personnel losses and disappearances of rogue cultivators due to friction among the major sects, families, and gangs in Zhenshi County, as well as the case of the massacre in Datong Village, is caused by an evil cult called the Blood Soul Sect."

"The Blood Soul Cult!" Tie Yangtian exclaimed in shock, "It was them!"

The Blood Soul Cult is a second-rate cult.

He had heard about it.

It is one of the cults under the umbrella of the great cult Mitian Cult.

They are ruthless; their agents have been present in other states before.

Because the crimes committed were too heinous and the impact too severe, the local Night Watch, in conjunction with other departments, launched a strong crackdown, eventually leading to its disappearance.

Unexpectedly, they have now fled to Zhenshi County.

"That's right, it's them." Gu Chen nodded: "They're secretly capturing people in order to refine Blood Soul Pills. They need to extract human souls, essence, and blood energy from a large number of ordinary people and cultivators."

"These people are truly depraved!" Tie Yangtian's face showed anger.

"Have you found out their exact strength?" Tie Yangtian asked Gu Chen. "Approximately how many experts do they have? How many of them are fourth-rank experts?"

"We found it." Gu Chen replied, "They have one sect leader who is at the peak of the Core Formation Realm and half-step Grandmaster, two vice sect leaders who are at the early stage of the Core Formation Realm, five fifth-rank protectors, eighteen sixth-rank elders, forty-eight seventh-rank envoys, thousands of cult members at the Innate Realm, and an estimated tens of thousands below the Innate Realm."

Upon hearing this, Tie Yangtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

This force is not weak.

The Zhenshi County Night Watchmen alone were able to fight them to a draw.

It will be difficult to take them all down.

The Zhenshi County Night Watch Division only has two fourth-rank Core Formation Realm experts: the Division Chief and the Chief of the Law Enforcement Night Watch.

There were two fifth-rank deputy directors and two fifth-rank deputy chief leaders of the law enforcement and night watchmen.

There were four officials of the sixth rank in charge, and four captains of the sixth-rank law enforcement and night watchmen.

We need to request support from higher authorities.

"Have you found out the exact location of their stronghold in Zhenshi County?" Tie Yangtian asked.

"I found it," Gu Chen replied.

"That's good. The Blood Soul Sect is quite powerful. If we want to completely wipe them out, the strength of our Zhenshi County Night Watch Division alone is probably not enough. We need to apply to our superiors for support and mobilize enough strong people to wipe them out in one fell swoop," Tie Yangtian said.

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded. He naturally knew that the strength of the Zhenshi County Night Watch Division alone was definitely not enough to completely eradicate the Blood Soul Sect in one go.

Therefore, he had already made preparations for Tie Yangtian.

His second senior brother will soon be secretly bringing over experts from the Wilderness Guard headquarters.

In addition, there was his fourth senior brother, Luo Tianxing.

Once they arrive, it will be the day the Blood Soul Sect is destroyed.

Gu Chen looked at Tie Yangtian and reminded him, "Senior brother, after I found out that the mastermind behind this was the Blood Soul Sect, I knew that the Night Watch of Zhenshi County alone would definitely not be able to deal with them. So I have already asked my fourth and second senior brothers for help. At most, they will be able to lead strong people to come and support us in secret within a day."

"These Blood Soul Cult members can't escape!" Gu Chen revealed a confident smile.

"You've already asked your fourth and second senior brothers for help!" Tie Yangtian was overjoyed to hear this.

In this way, two people came to provide support.

The Blood Soul Cult is doomed.
