Chapter 18: News about Guiyuan Sect!

"Is there any news?" Shen Zhui became excited. He asked Huang Li to investigate nothing else but the whereabouts of Guiyuan Sect!

"Quick! Come to my commander's mansion!" Shen Zhui said immediately.

"Sir, I'm already on my way here."

"Okay, don't make any noise." Shen Zhui warned.

"yes."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shen Zhui was a little uneasy at the same time. In fact, as soon as he entered Baiyun Peak, he secretly investigated the whereabouts of the Guiyuan Sect. However, at that time, he was just the leader of the team and had no military achievements, so he could not find out anything about the Guiyuan Sect. any news.

However, although he did not have the authority, he could pay a school captain to help check it.

For such a trivial matter, asking the captain to check it in Tianxin Palace is just a piece of cake. Of course there are people who are willing. However, Shen Zhui did not work with Baiyunfeng's people, but privately sent Huang Li to inquire without revealing the reason.

Finally, I learned that... Guiyuan Sect is a second-class sect!

But I only know that...the sect leader is in the magical power realm, and there are several elders in the magical power realm. Other than that, there is very little information!

This situation is not uncommon. It should be noted that many sects keep their whereabouts extremely secretive for fear of leaking the news and triggering a conquest by the Wu'an Army.

If there is a powerful person with supernatural power who is determined to lead his disciples to hide and seal the mountain gate. The huge Jiuyou Mountains and the Sea of ​​Void are simply too simple.

Since the robbery of the Guiyuan Sect occurred nine years ago, this sect has disappeared, and no one has appeared in the world again. The intelligence information about the Guiyuan Sect in the Tianxin Palace has only been updated fifty-four times in the past nine years, and they are all insignificant. information!

However, Shen Zhui did not give up, but continued to spend money to inquire. Now that he finally had news, how could he not be excited?

"I hope Huang Li brings good news..." Shen Zhui murmured to himself. Once it was bad news, he didn't know how to tell his adoptive father.

As soon as Huang Li settled down in the commander's mansion, he was immediately invited into the secret room by Shen Zhui.

"How is it?" Shen Zhui looked at Huang Li expectantly.

"According to your request, my subordinates finally got the news. The total number of people who were kidnapped by the Guiyuan Sect nine years ago was 14,275. Among them, Liangzhou included Heyuan County, Guanghe County, Simu County was affected by the disaster, and a total of 5,652 people were kidnapped."

"Heyuan County is slightly larger, with 2,362 people."

"I'm not asking you this!" Shen Zhui said in a deep voice. "I want to know what happened to this group of people in the end, whether they are alive or dead. Can anyone find out?"

Huang Li was startled, and his face was suddenly covered with sweat.

When Shen Zhui saw this, he realized that he was in a hurry and failed to control the pressure, so he immediately came to his senses. Huang Li didn't know the reason, but he had lost his composure.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhui waved his hand and said, "Speak slowly."

"Yes." Huang Li said carefully. "Of these 2,362 people, according to intelligence, 1,942 have been identified and are still alive."

Are there so many people alive? Shen Zhui's eyes lit up!

That's right, the Guiyuan Sect robbed people, of course, to expand its base, not to kill people, otherwise they wouldn't have been brought back.

Huang Li handed over a list: "This is a list of the living."

Shen Zhui grabbed it and quickly scanned the list. With his current spiritual awareness, he almost read the names on it in one go.

Then his heart sank. There were no names of his adoptive father, wife and daughter on it, not even those named Shen!

"How did you get this list?" Shen Zhui tried his best to control his emotions.

"Duancang Mountain, the title captain of Duancang Mountain was trying to bring back the idea of ​​returning to Yuanzong the year before last, but he seemed to have given up on it later. Only a small number of people were left to follow up on Guiyuanzong's intelligence collection. This intelligence was obtained at the end of last year and belongs to I heard that Duancang Mountain has arranged for several outer disciples to join the Yuan Sect."

"Outer disciple?" Shen Zhui frowned. "Guiyuan Sect has been hiding for nine years in order to avoid being tracked by the court. How can a mere outer disciple find out this information and send it out?"

"You don't know something, sir." Huang Li said softly. "Nine years ago, the Guiyuan Sect's kidnapping incident caused an uproar in all states. At that time, the imperial court put pressure on the Wu'an Army and ordered the Wu'an Army to send people to search and rescue these people who had been kidnapped."

"At that time, several school captains were ordered to inquire about the whereabouts of Guiyuan Zong, but this big fanfare actually caused Guiyuan Zong to seal the mountain gate and hide it, and even the clues of the spies previously planted in Guiyuan Zong were cut off."

"My subordinates estimate that this information should come from someone who was planted earlier."

Shen Zhui nodded. Of course, he had already laid out the plan to investigate and gather information about the sect circles, but each sect and sect had different levels of infiltration.

Maybe he was just an ordinary person back then, but after a few years he became an outer disciple. And there were more than tens of thousands of outer disciples in a large sect? It’s impossible to supervise everyone!

Now there are outer sect disciples appearing in the outside world. They are probably the Guiyuan Sect who has been hiding for many years. They feel that the news has passed and are beginning to contact the outside world again.

"Okay, you can go back." Shen Zhui waved his hand. "Continue to collect information about Guiyuan Sect for me. Whether it is true or false, as long as it is related to Guiyuan Sect, I am willing to spend any amount of money to get them all."

"yes."

"Duancang Mountain..." Shen Zhui murmured to himself. If he wanted to know more details, he would probably have to contact someone from Duancang Mountain. According to what he had seen at the leader's banquet, there were no people from Duancang Mountain among the guests. .

"It seems that we can only ask the captain for help." Shen Zhui sighed. "Hopefully they're still alive."

After Huang Li left, Shen Zhui immediately flew to the captain's mansion.

"College Lieutenant, I have something to ask of you." As soon as he arrived at the Lieutenant's Mansion, Shen Zhui got straight to the point.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I was just looking for you." Yun Duo smiled. "The quota has just been determined, Four Dragon Order, Blood Demon Battlefield."

Whoa~ A dark red token appeared in Yun Duo's hand, and then he gently pushed it to Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui forced a smile on his face, but still knelt down on one knee.

"Get up and tell me what a big deal it is. Did you offend a captain this time?" Yun Duo looked at Shen Zhui with interest. "When you begged me for Li Chengfeng, you didn't even show such a big courtesy."

Shen Zhui stood up and told the story about Guiyuan Sect. There was no need for him to hide it from Yun Duo.

"It turns out that you still have relatives who were kidnapped by the Guiyuan Sect." Yun Duo said thoughtfully. "But Duancang Mountain doesn't have much friendship with me."

"No friendship?" Shen Zhui's heart skipped a beat. It was common for information to be exchanged, but if it involved key information or the relationship was not good and the other party was unwilling to disclose it to him, that would be troublesome.

Seeing the eager look on Shen Zhui's face, Yun Duo chuckled and said, "It's just that we don't have much friendship, it's not that we don't have any, it's just some information about ordinary people, it shouldn't be difficult. Just wait a moment, I'll ask it for you."

"Thank you Captain." Shen Zhui said quickly.

Yun Duo's eyes moved and he seemed to have made contact, while Shen Zhui was waiting anxiously.

After a while, Yun Duo finally made some movement.

"Captain, how is the situation?"

Yun Duo waved his hand: "I heard, your adoptive mother Chen has been confirmed to be alive."

alive? Shen Zhui was immediately happy.

"But your sworn sister Shen Xinlan..." Yun Duo frowned. "Not found."

"Not found?" Shen Zhui was a little disappointed. Even his adoptive mother was confirmed to be alive, so how could he not be found?

"Shen Zhui, don't be impatient." Yun Duo said. "The lack of confirmation does not mean that something unexpected happened to your sworn sister."

"It's very possible that due to authority issues, the intelligence has not collected the whereabouts of your sworn sister."

"This information came from the outer disciples of Guiyuan Sect. It is normal that the collection is incomplete."

Shen Zhui nodded. Yun Duo was right. As long as death was not confirmed, there was still hope.

Yun Duo said with relief: "In this case, there are usually only a few possibilities."

"First, your sworn sister has met with something unexpected a long time ago, but no one knew about it."

"Secondly, she was placed in a very remote place. Guiyuan Sect is a second-rate sect with a vassal population of at least over 500,000. It is normal if they are scattered far away and cannot confirm life or death. But usually since they can find your adoptive mother, This is unlikely.”

Shen Zhui nodded. The adoptive mother had been found, so it was very possible to confirm her daughter's whereabouts through her. The lives and deaths of many people were confirmed through people who were familiar with each other.

"Thirdly, your adopted sister was most likely spotted by someone from the Guiyuan Sect and brought into the mountain gate. Records and information about her were erased, as well as your adopted mother's soul memory."

Erase message? Shen Zhui was slightly stunned.

"According to my speculation, this third option is the most likely." Yun Duo said. "And if it is really the third type, your sworn sister is safer than others."

"Safer?" Shen Zhui was puzzled.

"Yes." Yun Duo said. "The Guiyuan Sect robbed people nine years ago. According to statistics compiled by various states afterwards, most of the missing people were less than ten years old."

"This means that the main purpose of the Guiyuan Sect's plunder of the population was to recruit disciples and believers."

"According to the intelligence, many of those confirmed to be alive have become outer disciples and even inner disciples of Guiyuan Sect."

"If you become an inner disciple, the requirements will naturally be very strict, and the control over the disciples will definitely not be loose. That's why they will erase their previous memories and completely become members of the Guiyuan Sect, so that they can feel at ease."

After hearing what Yun Duo said, Shen Zhui also understood. The Guiyuan Sect has robbed the population. If they can become core disciples... of course they must ensure the loyalty of the disciples!

Otherwise, if you spend all your energy and resources cultivating disciples, wouldn’t all of them come back when they become stronger in the future?

And erasing previous memories, or even tampering with them, is of course the simplest and most fundamental way!

Since the adoptive mother's memory has been erased and her whereabouts are unknown, this third option must be the most likely, otherwise Guiyuan Sect would not have to do such a thing to an ordinary person like her adoptive mother.

"Thank you Captain!" Shen Zhui was slightly excited. Although it was not confirmed yet, Yun Duo judged it so, at least his sworn sister was very likely to be alive.

"Little things." Yun Duo said. "Since the Guiyuan Sect has decided to reappear, there will be many opportunities to inquire about it in the future."

"Practice hard. If you collect all the information in the future, I will take you to your door. How difficult will it be to bring your stepmother and step sister back? It's not like I have never wiped out a second-rate sect!" Yun Duo said proudly.

"Yes!" Shen Zhui nodded. "I still have something to ask for."

"speak."

"I want to go back to Heyuan City and tell my adoptive father the news in person."

………………

Heyuan City, County Government Hall.

Ever since the county magistrate Wei Wenhe overthrew the evil spirits of the two major families and sent them to the ancestral temple, the security inside and outside the city has been completely different from the past, and the county magistrate's reputation has reached its highest peak in history.

In a quiet room behind the county government office, Wei Wenhe suddenly opened his eyes.

"Shua~" Then he suddenly disappeared, and when he appeared again, he came to a street.

"Shen Zhui." Wei Wenhe looked at a young man in front of him with a smile.

"I have met you, sir." Shen Zhui said respectfully.

Even though he has now achieved the ultimate level of innateness and has become the commander of the seventh-grade military attache Jin Wu, whose status is not lower than that of Wei Wenhe, he still has full respect for this Shangguan who protects his adoptive father.

Destroying the ancestral line and abandoning the temple was such a big resistance, but Wei Wenhe wiped out all the evil spirits in Heyuan County and restored peace to the people!

Although the Li family was still hanging on in the end, it was really rare to be able to do this.

And even in his current state, he is completely unable to sense Wei Wenhe's strength. The cultivation of this young county lord is like the vast ocean, unfathomable.

"No need to be polite, you have now become the commander of King Wu, and your official rank is no lower than mine." Wei Wenhe also had a hint of emotion. He also did not expect that in just over three months from last year to now, Shen Zhui would become the commander of King Wu and stand at the threshold of the Lingqiao realm.

This speed of cultivation was something Wei Wenhe never expected at the beginning.

"When you come back now, you must be anxious to see your adoptive father. Go ahead and come see me when you are free."

"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded.

Although he wrote a letter to report that he was safe after leaving the Kuzu camp, he did not receive a private message from the county magistrate, nor could he have a face-to-face chat with his adoptive father Chen Shan.

"Whoosh~" With Shen Zhui's current strength, he quickly returned to the courtyard on Dongzheng Street and saw his adoptive father, Shen Shan, carrying water in the courtyard.

"Father," Shen Zhui opened the door slowly, for fear of surprising him.

"Chai'er?" Shen Shan also turned around. "good"

thump! Looking at his adoptive father who seemed to be getting older, Shen Zhui couldn't help but knelt down with tears in his eyes.

"I'm back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..." Shen Shan helped Shen Zhui up, smiled and patted Shen Zhui's head. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoｓhuyuan.com

"Father, I found the whereabouts of my foster mother and the others!" As soon as Shen Zhui stood up, he couldn't help but tell the good news.

"W-what did you say?" Shen Shan's voice was trembling, and Shen Zhui even felt that his adoptive father's hand was holding tightly.

"It's true, foster father, look." Shen Zhui waved his hand, and the news he got from Yun Duo was quickly presented with a water curtain spell.

A woman's figure appeared on it. Although she just stroked her hair from the side of her face, Shen Shan recognized her at a glance.

"Wu Niang, it's really Wu Niang." Shen Shan couldn't help but burst into tears. After a while, he remembered something again. "Zhui'er, where is your sworn sister Xinlan?"

"Don't worry, foster father." Shen Zhui held Shen Shan's hand tightly and said with firm eyes. "The sworn sister is still alive. If you give the children some time, I will personally take them back!"

After staying at home for two days, Shen Zhui also stayed with his adoptive father Shen Shan, without practicing, and listened to his stories about his wife and daughter.

Finally, I gave my adoptive father some life-prolonging tonics. After gaining hope, my adoptive father Shen Shan began to look radiant! This also strengthened Shen Zhui's determination to rescue his adoptive mother and the others!

On the third day, early in the morning, Shen Zhui took the time to come to the county government office. He saw that Wei Wenhe seemed to have something to explain to him.

In a study room, the two sat opposite each other, asking and answering questions. Shen Zhui told Wei Wenhe everything that had happened, and at the same time, he also expressed some of his confusion.

"You guessed it right. Using the essence and blood of ferocious beasts can indeed help the advancement of Chiyang Nine Dragons, especially the alien beasts with a trace of true dragon blood. Previously, you could not reach the acquired realm, and the essence and blood of ferocious beasts were beyond your reach. It was out of reach, so I didn’t mention it at all.”

"Now that you are about to break through to the Spirit Bridge Realm, the role of that life-saving bag must be changed."
