Chapter 207
The scent of tea permeated the air, bringing a hint of elegant fragrance.
After Gu Cheng and Xu Wenying finished talking about the Blood Kirin, the topic naturally turned to the turbulent situation in Tianshui County.
"Gu boy, you should have heard about the matter of Venerable Yanren?"
When Xu Wenying mentioned this, a layer of haze covered his eyes, and his tone became a little heavier.
Gu Cheng nodded slightly, and vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say.
Sure enough, Xu Wenying sighed, his tone full of helplessness and worry:
"Alas, Tianshui County is now in internal and external troubles, and it is a time to use people!
Originally, according to Venerable Lingque's arrangement, you and the girl from the Tang family only need to prepare for the inheritance of the secret realm, and there is no need to carry out the mission, but now the government is really short of staff..."
"Master Xu, just arrange it. As long as it is a task to slay demons and eliminate monsters, I will do my best!"
Gu Cheng volunteered without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.
After all, even if the Demon Suppression Division didn't assign him any tasks, he couldn't just stay at the Demon Suppression Division's headquarters and do nothing.
"Good! I'm glad you have this intention!"
Xu Wenying stroked his beard and smiled, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes:
"You just came back from outside this time, so I'll give you three days to rest. After three days, the girl from the Tang family will come to inform you of the specific matters."
As he said that, the old man took a sip of the teacup and added:
"By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has recently received a new batch of elixirs and magic tools. If you have any needs for cultivation, just let me know."
When Gu Cheng heard that he could get some money from the Demon Suppression Division, he immediately became excited.
He didn't bother to be polite with Old Master Xu, and went straight to the point:
"I don't lack elixirs and magic tools. Lord Xu, I need a few innate dragon demon cores now. I wonder if the government has any in stock now?"
"Dragon demon cores?!"
Xu Wenying paused in his tea drinking.
He looked at Gu Cheng in surprise, but did not ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:
"I can get you an ordinary innate demon core, but this Jiaolong demon core..."
Mr. Xu put down his teacup, looking embarrassed:
"To be honest, all the Jiaolong demon cores in the Demon Suppression Division have been collected by Lord Ji. Even I have no right to use them. If you really need them, I'm afraid you have to wait for him to come back."
"It was collected by Lord Ji again?"
Gu Cheng frowned slightly, and his doubts became even greater.
First it was the Jiaolong horn, and then the Jiaolong demon core. Why did this lord of the town have such a special liking for the objects on the Jiaolong?
Could it be... related to the practice of "Blue Dragon Hundred Refining"?
This thought flashed through his mind, but Gu Cheng did not delve too much into it.
Since there are stocks in the treasure house of the Demon Suppression Division, things will be easy.
Even if Mr. Xu is not in a position to intervene, he still has Tang Lingyu's way to go.
With her, the "good disciple" of the guardian, around, is there any fear of not being able to get the wool?
-----------------
How Gu Cheng will get the wool next, let's put it aside for now.
Let's just say that the mood of a certain martial arts hall owner is quite bad.
That night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
In Chenlong Martial Arts Hall, in an elegant study, candlelight flickers.
The bright candlelight illuminates the side face of the owner Li Longxiang, just like his mood at this time.
"Is there still no news about Elder Huang and the others?"
Li Longxiang sat upright at the table, writing quickly, asking without raising his head.
"Reporting to the master, I am incompetent..."
The disciple standing by the side lowered his head in fear, not daring to breathe:
"I have sent people to search everywhere in Tianshui County, but the three elders seem to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and there is no trace of them so far."
As he said this, he secretly raised his eyes to observe Li Longxiang's face, and he was secretly suspicious.
The three elders were highly respected and powerful. What happened that made them all go out together, and even the master was so worried?
But he knew that this kind of thing was not something he could ask about, so he had to suppress this question in his heart.
"..."
Li Longxiang was silent and wrote the last word.
However, there was a hint of imperceptible disorder at the end of the handwriting, which was far from his usual vigorous and powerful calligraphy style.
Looking at this copybook with a wrong handwriting, Master Li sighed quietly.
After a long while, he slowly spoke:
"You go down first, and report as soon as you have any news!"
"Yes..."
The disciple bowed and hurriedly left the study.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the empty study.
Li Longxiang sat alone at the table, frowning, and his old face became more gloomy.
Since the day when the three elders set out to encircle and suppress the little GuIt has been more than two months since the death of the three elders, and there has been no news so far, which gave him a sense of foreboding.
"Could it be that... the three of them failed?"
Li Longxiang muttered to himself, and the scene of Gu Cheng showing his might in the martial arts arena that day appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
But then he thought, the three elders were all innate masters who had been famous for many years, and they were fully prepared for this encirclement and suppression. How could they fail to a young boy?
What's more, once this matter was exposed, according to the nature of the Demon Suppression Division, Chenlong Martial Arts Hall would have been uprooted long ago, so how could it be so calm?
Master Li stood up and paced back and forth in the study room in a restless manner, muttering to himself:
"Since they didn't fail, why didn't they come back? Could it be... Could it be..."
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, and a terrible thought entangled in his mind like a poisonous snake.
"Could it be that...the three of them embezzled the inheritance of the Venerable Qinglian?"
The more Li Longxiang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Before they set out, the three elders had vowed to devote themselves to the revitalization of Chenlong Martial Arts School.
But now it seems that they may have found some incredible treasures in the inheritance treasure house, became greedy, and ran away directly!
"A bunch of ungrateful people! I trusted them so much!"
Li Longxiang was furious, and the violent true energy surged out of his body uncontrollably.
The tables and chairs around him trembled violently, and the papers were blown all over the sky.
The swaying candlelight was also blown out by this momentum in an instant, and the whole room suddenly fell into darkness.
The night was deep, and the moonlight poured in from the window like water, but it could not dispel the darkness in the room, but instead added a bit of weird atmosphere to it.
Li Longxiang was confused and was about to leave the study.
Suddenly, a fierce murderous aura descended without warning, locking him in place!
This murderous aura was extremely arrogant, without any disguise, just like holding a loud speaker and announcing loudly in his ear:
[I'm coming to kill you! ]
"Who is it?"
Li Longxiang was shocked, and his instincts from years of martial arts training allowed him to instantly enter a fighting state.
He flashed and quickly retreated, while suddenly looking up, his eyes like lightning, looking in the direction of the murderous aura.
I saw a slender figure quietly appearing on the beams like a ghost.
It was a cold and beautiful woman, dressed in black, with white hair like snow, and blood-red eyeshadow that made her skin more snowy and charming.
But her scarlet eyes were filled with cold murderous intent at this moment.
The look she gave him was like looking at a corpse...
