Chapter 230 Wanted Order

"A few days ago, I saw clouds rising in the mountains, as if a rare treasure had appeared. Today, when I saw the mountain man's demeanor, I knew that you had succeeded in refining the treasure. Congratulations, congratulations."

In response to Si Shubai's congratulations, Chu Tai took out a teacup and poured him two cups of mountain spring water.

Si Shubai did not disdain it and drank it directly, then he exclaimed: "The mountain man's way of mountains and waters is really mysterious. It has only been a short time since he lived in seclusion in the mountains, but the mountain spring water here has been tainted with a hint of spiritual power. It is more powerful than many cultivators who practice the methods of earthly immortals."

At this point, Si Shubai also expressed the real purpose of his visit this time: "Why don't you build a dojo here? I can fight for the greatest benefit for you. The city will divide this mountain to you and bear 70% of the expenses in the process of building the dojo."

"Such a big discount is given to me as a sixth-rank cultivator. I guess I have to pay a lot."

Si Shu Bai smiled and said, "It's not much actually. I just hope that the mountain people can allow the city to open up some official fields at the foot of your mountain. You need to ensure that there are enough spiritual energy every year. Secondly, you need to ensure the safety of the area around the city. If necessary, I need your help to conquer evil cultivators."

"The first two are obligations you must fulfill after establishing the dojo, and the third is a job you can choose or not. However, every time you receive a conquest mission, as long as you make sure you take action and pay a certain price, regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, the city will give you compensation or a bonus based on the situation."

Chu Tai nodded upon hearing this, but did not respond immediately. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he asked, "For the third expedition mission, can it only be obtained by establishing a dojo or joining the prefectural city?"

"Of course not."

When Si Shubai heard Chu Tai's question, she had already guessed his choice, but she still showed great enthusiasm and introduced to Chu Tai in detail the benefits and the disadvantages compared to joining the provincial capital.

"To put it bluntly, this is an employment relationship. You must complete the tasks we assign before we can give you the corresponding compensation. The city will not be responsible for any losses during the period, and you will not get anything if you do not complete the task."

"Most importantly, a lot of information about the targets of the expedition is not disclosed to the public. There are also many precious materials whose prices will be lower and the purchasing privileges will be higher."

After listening to Si Shubai's advice, Chu Tai still didn't care much. He nodded to show that he understood and said casually: "It's nothing. I will try to work for the prefectural city with this identity. If I can't adapt to this identity, it will be embarrassing for everyone to join the prefectural city rashly in the future."

This made sense. Si Shu Bai did not continue to persuade Chu Tai, but quickly helped Chu Tai complete the work and sent the arrest warrant for the target to be conquered recently to Chu Tai.

As Chu Tai expected, Shi Ruotie was included in these arrest warrants, and the information released to the public clearly described this guy as a suspected successor of the Taiyi Jinhua Sect and the evil deeds he had done.

As for Shi Ruotie's method of cultivation, only the fire-attributed method was written, and his sixth-grade cultivation level was suspected to have condensed the fifth-grade yang fire-attributed true qi. The specific magic weapon only wrote about a treasure lamp, and there was no other information.

The only thing worth praising is that it reflects a lingering breath of the area where they last appeared. Of course, this breath is inevitably distorted after being repeatedly reflected by the magic. At least the breath of Shi Ruotie reflected in the document is only 80% similar to the one in Chu Tai's memory.

'As expected, it's pretty shabby.'

Chu Tai looked at the information in front of him, shook his head, and picked up the other arrest warrants. Similar to Shi Ruotie, they were all cultivators within the sphere of influence of the Central Plains Dynasty, on a large scale, and who blatantly attacked mortals.

Chu Tai looked around, finally stared at the last one, and read it out loud with some surprise.

"Fang Hongxiu, suspected to be the descendant of the Blood Demon Dao, killed 3,836 households and 22,647 people in Baihe Village under Qinglan County. He used the blood of more than 20,000 people to practice the magical power of creation and make up for his own shortcomings. The method of practice is suspected to be the Blood Demon Dao's "Blood River Red Clothes Evil Method". He showed that he was at the sixth level of cultivation, and his commonly used magic weapon was a blood-red short knife."

Chu Tai pointed at the arrest warrant and asked, "Why don't you just send troops to attack this evil heretic? Instead, you offer a reward for his capture?"

Faced with Chu Tai's surprise, Si Shubai's face also looked unhappy.

"There is no way. This Fang Hongxiu has great magical powers. He is proficient in the blood demon method and is good at the blood escape technique. He can also replenish his blood and flesh through killing magical powers. He is impossible to catch. In addition, most of the cultivators in the city are more inclined to polish various materials and make tools. Their combat effectiveness is not strong. The few powerful people are now also targeting another demon."

"Who is so powerful that he can contain all the cultivators in the prefecture?"

Chu Tai was a little surprised, but seeing that Si Shubai was a little embarrassed, he said, "If it's inconvenient, it's okay if you don't tell me."

"It's not inconvenient, but the target of this expedition is a bit special and generally not open to the public."

As he spoke, Si Shubai took out another arrest warrant from his bosom and handed it to Chu Tai.

After taking a look, Chu Tai frowned.

"Name: Unknown. This person is suspected to be proficient in the art of transformation. Deduction and divination can only confirm that this person exists, but his name cannot be determined for the time being."

"Crime: He was the mastermind behind a total of 72 massacres of villages including Lu'an Village in Yunhua County, Feihong Village in Yunmeng County, and Daqing Village in Fufeng County. He was also suspected of being involved in 25 incidents of spiritual damage in counties including Ganquan County and Tianjin County... The current statistics show that the number of victims is as high as 367,814 people, and the exact number has not yet been determined."

"Cultivation: suspected to be fifth grade, the true qi obtained is suspected to be fourth grade"

"Identity: Suspected to be a descendant of Taiyi lineage, specific faction unknown for now"

"Kung Fu: suspected to be the inheritance of the Plague Lord's method of the Taiyi lineage, suspected to be the inheritance of the Five Forms method of the Taiyi lineage, suspected to be the inheritance of an unknown Yin-Yang method"

Looking at this familiar information, Chu Tai remained calm and asked curiously, "Why is this person's information so vague? Could it be that no one in the city can guess his name?"

"We have certainly tried our best. But this person's situation is very special. We cannot determine his identity at all. It is very likely that a fourth-rank being has intervened in the changes."

Si Shubai shook his head repeatedly, his eyes seemingly looking straight ahead, but with Chu Tai's spiritual perception blessed by several Dao Fruit fragments, he could still feel that her attention was on him.

Chu Tai pretended not to know and continued to ask: "Why didn't you report it? Is it because the senior officials in the city didn't want to?"

Si Shubai was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, I did report it. But the news from the capital was that we should solve it ourselves."

When he said this, Si Shubai's expression turned slightly pale, as if he couldn't understand the reason for this order.

Similarly, Chu Tai also somewhat understood why Si Shubai, who was sent by the Central Plains hinterland to support the city, ended up running to the gate of the city to guard the gate and answer many questions for outsiders. In essence, this female cultivator who came from the hinterland to support was excluded by the officials in the city and sat on the bench.

Chu Tai didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he could only bring the topic back to the arrest warrant.

"Speaking of which, this monk is so powerful? He was able to harm more than 300,000 people?"

"This is just an estimated result based on the records and similarities found."

Speaking of this matter, Si Shubai's face flushed again, and he said angrily: "There are still many other problems, and I don't know if he is behind some cases of cultivators in other places injuring people. For example, Fang Hongxiu you saw earlier, I suspect he is behind this matter, but I have no evidence."

"It sounds like this guy rarely does things on his own? How did you find him?"

Chu Tai raised new doubts, and Si Shubai showed an expression of helplessness and even shame.

"He exposed himself. He seems to have been practicing some evil magic in the past two years. He had to expose part of his identity, and then obtain some kind of legal blessing through fighting and entanglement with us."

"Theoretically, every time we fight him now, it is possible that he will become stronger. This is also the reason why this document is not passed down. According to the speculation of several seniors in the city, reducing people's understanding of him can limit the improvement of his legal principles to a certain extent."

At this point, Si Shubai's tone was even more obvious, lacking his usual firmness and seriousness.

"But our actions are likely to invisibly strengthen the protection of his information, making subsequent deductions more difficult."

"The final result is that several fifth-rank seniors who have achieved success in cultivation and are good at fighting in the entire city have all been restrained by him, causing the evil cultivators in many areas under the jurisdiction of the city to become more rampant, which in turn affects the normal operation of the city and makes the city's reputation among cultivators worse and worse."

"You are putting the cart before the horse!"

Chu Tai shook his head and sighed, looking at the other arrest documents, and asked, "Is it possible that this guy is actually using me to get others the opportunity to harm the people?"

Si Shubai was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I have also thought about your idea and have mentioned it in the city, but not many people agree with it, or rather, not many people are willing to agree with it."

Chu Tai heard that Si Shubai intended to speak in this direction, so he followed her wishes and spoke in this direction.

"So, you sent these arrest warrants to me, hoping that I could help process some of them?"

Si Shubai nodded, "Yes, if we can solve some of them, I think it will have a certain deterrent effect on the other independent cultivators, and at least guarantee the safety of most civilians. Don't worry, my hermit. As long as you kill any of these sea arrest warrants, I will help you get the most rewards. Recently, the city has received a piece of Yin-Yang gem that has accumulated three thousand years of spiritual charm, and a Sun-Moon gem that was collected from the East China Sea and nurtured by spiritual clams for a thousand years."

"Forget about the Yin-Yang Jade and the Sun-Moon Pearl. Previously, I was thinking of using Yin-Yang to carry the mountains and rivers, and using day and night to drive the time sequence, to construct a landscape treasure that contains the changes of time sequence. Now that I have refined this jade landscape screen, I don't need the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon treasure. If there are any good five-direction five-element or mountain five-element materials recently, please help me keep an eye out for them."

After hearing about the Yin-Yang Jade and the Sun-Moon Pearl, Chu Tai first glanced at the girl, and then expressed his needs very calmly, making up for his previous performance, and then took Shi Ruotie, Fang Hongxiu, and a list of several evil cultivators who were traveling with the two.

"These guys are on the way, so I'll deal with them. But who I deal with depends on my luck and theirs."

After saying that, Chu Tai summoned the jade screen of mountains and waters. The Fu Xi Yao Zhen Qi of Nan Yan Cave, which was disguised by the two energies of mountains and waters, turned in the air. The shadows of mountains and waters around it turned, and Chu Tai's figure disappeared in front of Si Shubai.

Shortly after Chu Tai left, Si Shubai took out a bamboo slip and began to record pieces of information that ordinary people could not see, and sent Chu Tai's remaining breath into the bamboo slip for comparison.

Pieces of information gradually emerged on the bamboo slips.

'The mountain and river attribute magic power accounts for two-thirds, the yang attribute accounts for one-sixth, the yin attribute accounts for one-twelfth, and the remaining one-twelfth is complex and has no reference value. In addition, the overlap rate of this yang attribute vitality and the Taiyi Jinhua lineage is not low.'

Si Shu Bai looked at the information sent back by the bamboo slips and glanced at the several magic weapons he had recorded during his previous visits.

'But based on the fact that he is proficient in the Taiyi Jinguang Mantra and has even refined a magic weapon that contains the true meaning of the Taiyi Jinguang Mantra, all of this seems to make sense. Based on this information, the possibility that he is the descendant of the Taiyi Jinhua lineage is not very high.'

'However, where did he use the five elements elites and the jades with fire and cold attributes? He said before that he wanted to upgrade the landscape screen, but I didn't see the corresponding attributes on the screen. If he had expressed his thoughts on the Yin-Yang jade before, he could have been connected with the Taining Taoist who was basically confirmed to be the heir of the Jinhua Sect in the Chu Kingdom of the East. But in this case, what about the landscape screen magic weapon? '

After Si Shubai's fingers simply slid twice on the bamboo slips, some things that seemed impossible to her flashed through her mind.

'It's impossible that the descendant of the Jinhua Sect intends to take the path of mountains and rivers, or his talent is so high that after just over a decade of practice, he can achieve the sixth-grade cultivation, master the true teachings of Jinhua, and have achievements close to the fifth grade in the way of mountains and rivers? Even the family formed by the descendants of several celestial beings in the capital does not have such a talent. It's impossible that this guy was an earthly immortal or a celestial being in his previous life. Hmm... What is this? I am restricted again...'

Looking at some of the information on the bamboo slips that could not be found, Si Shu Bai was secretly annoyed.

"Damn it. Ever since I reported my speculation to the relevant departments in the capital, many of my powers have been restricted. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to determine whether this Yangmeishan man is a disciple of the Jinhua Sect..."

On the other side, Chu Tai, who was standing in mid-air, vaguely observed Si Shubai's actions through "fate", and at the same time secretly marveled at the complexity of this guy's "fate" and the degree of trouble of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In his eyes, Si Shubai was entangled with unimaginable "fates". Only a very small number of these "fates" belonged to her, and the rest were mostly derived from her identity, or the various concepts given to her by the humanitarian order.

Moreover, these "connections" are the result of the loose connection between the city and the Saint King Avenue, the system that embodies the human order. Waiting on will not stimulate the Saint King Avenue, otherwise Chu Tai would not even have the idea of ​​waiting and watching.

Of course, this observation also allowed Chu Tai to see the part of Si Shubai that was most entangled with "fate", the bamboo slip in her hand that was used for contact and as proof of her identity.

"It feels strangely familiar..."

Chu Tai glanced at the bamboo slips again, thought about Si Shubai's many actions, shook his head, took out the sea arrest document, absorbed a breath of air from it, and after silently calculating, the landscape screen above changed, wrapped him up and quickly disappeared.

I won’t split this chapter. I have something to do in the afternoon. There should be an additional update in the evening, but it will be a bit late. Please forgive me.
