This place is fun

Chapter 139 The Secret of the You Clan

In the next two hours, there was a light rain in Xianlai Town.

The fine raindrops fell softly and densely on the trees, roofs, the ground and people's hair, wiping away the dust and gradually covering the whole world with a glossy luster.

The sky without the alternation of the sun and the moon also darkened with the dark clouds in the sky. Farmers in the fields were wearing straw raincoats, shepherds were riding buffaloes, sparks were flying from the blacksmith shop, rain was dripping from the eaves, and women holding wash basins were leading their children. Layers of white fog were rising from the mountains in the distance. All these scenes, reflected by the crystal clear water on the stone road, looked mottled, hazy and vivid.

However, Xianlai Town became more and more lively, busy and chaotic.

The incident in Huangzhulin completely shattered the existing pattern of Xianlai Town. The emergence of a new pattern attracted more and more warriors to gather here. Some of them just came to watch the fun; some came to inquire about the news; some came to smell the smell and look for opportunities; some simply wanted to fish in troubled waters or take advantage of the fire...

People were arguing and talking in the teahouse, or whispering to each other, or rushing to and fro. Some were happy, some were solemn. But many were tormented by expectation and disappointment.

One is Jiudou, the other is Jianbai.

Now these two names have become the focus of discussion in Xianlai Town. Whenever they are mentioned, people's envy is beyond words. I don't know how many people beat their chests and stamp their feet, regretting that they missed an opportunity. They failed to ride the wind and rise in this earth-shaking event in Xianlai Town.

Many people simply waited at the gate of the Huangzhulin tribe, just to see this "Kan Ge" who suddenly appeared and became the de facto ruler of Xianlai Town within a day. Regardless of whether they could get close to him, at least they would find a chance to recognize him and get to know him.

However, as time went on, some miscellaneous noises began to increase. Especially the noise coming from the fifth spiritual realm, it made people suddenly realize that these chestnuts that looked roasted and fragrant were probably still a little hot.

"Oh? Burning Heaven Society?"

In the largest house of the Huangzhulin tribe, Su Daoshan sat under the eaves, watching the dripping rain, drinking tea, and looking at Ao Jiu who had just reported the news.

"Yes. Buchi is a member of the Burning Heaven Society." Ao Jiu said.

Originally Su Daoshan was in a good mood.

This is a separate courtyard. It used to be the property of Huang Zhu and other caretakers, but now it belongs to Su Daoshan. Although the houses in the spiritual realm are of no use to warriors whose daily task is to find spiritual essence, it is still quite pleasant to sit down and drink a cup of tea occasionally.

Especially this yard, which was snatched from someone else, which makes it even more comfortable.

At this moment, there was no one else in the yard except Ao Jiu standing by. On Su Daoshan's knees was an account book.

Twenty-nine thousand spiritual essences.

This is what Su Daoshan gained after attacking the Huangzhulin tribe.

Among them, 16,000 spiritual essences came from Fusheng's savings. It was twice as much as the Gurong tribe. This was when Su Daoshan left him one-third. The other three great monsters from Luer Mountain, Wutong River and Yecao Valley contributed a total of 13,000 spiritual essences.

However, this does not include the ransom!
There are now thirty people in the Gurong tribe, and more than fifty in the Huangzhulin tribe. According to the minimum ransom of one hundred spiritual essence per person, this is at least eight thousand spiritual essence.

What's more, people like Buchi who came back from the Fifth Spirit Realm are definitely worth more than this price.

If everyone doesn’t take out two thousand spiritual essences, no one can leave!
Su Daoshan was quite satisfied with this. He was thinking about whether to use these spiritual essences to feed the war spirits, or to refine weapons in the heart furnace, or to go to other towns to have a look and talk to a few more big monsters, but he unexpectedly heard some information obtained by Ao Jiu.

Ao Jiu is now a famous person in Xianlai Town. He is surrounded by countless people who just want to talk to him. In addition, there are spiritual monster veins such as Fu Sheng and Mr. Qi. Therefore, the changes outside at this moment are fed back to this side in time.

Su Daoshan handed the account book to Ao Jiu with a frown.

In fact, he knew long before he took action that a weapon like the Gatling gun would inevitably attract attention. In his previous life, if someone used technology that shouldn't have appeared and destroyed an aircraft carrier with one shot, the shock it caused would be the same.

Su Daoshan even anticipated the hostility he would face.

Since this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and since people have reached the third level of Tiandao Mountain, they will fight each other for the qualification to enter the fourth level, and even wipe out the enemies in advance, so malice is everywhere.

However, Su Daoshan still didn't expect that there was such a thing as a message tree.

The existence of this kind of thing makes the entire spiritual realm almost free of information isolation. If something happens in one place, as long as it is shocking enough, it will spread throughout the entire spiritual realm immediately.

And obviously, the emergence of Gatlin is an example of this.

What Su Daoshan didn't expect was that someone had actually linked Gatling with the Rainbow Pear Blossom Nail, and now there were rumors that he was a descendant of the Xiao family. Moreover, those organizations reacted so quickly that they immediately sent people to inquire about him.

This made Su Daoshan have a deeper understanding of the dangers of the spiritual realm.

"Tell me about the Burning Heaven Society." Su Daoshan said.

"Extraordinary warriors in the spiritual realm are usually divided into three types of organizations. One is the spiritual realm organization, one is the real organization, and the other is a top-secret organization." Ao Jiu knew that Su Daoshan was a complete novice in the understanding of the spiritual realm, so he organized his words and introduced it from the beginning.

"A spiritual realm organization is an organization formed by extraordinary warriors in the spiritual realm. For example, the tribal caretakers are one of them. Everyone does not know each other's identities in the real world, but they gather together because of common interests in the spiritual realm to counter other forces. This kind of organization usually guards against each other, and it is completely a relationship of mutual exploitation and cooperation."

Su Daoshan nodded and motioned Ao Jiu to continue.

"Secondly, there are real organizations. For example, demon hunters." Ao Jiu said.

When Su Daoshan heard about the demon hunter, his heart skipped a beat. In his hand was a demon hunter card given by Tang Moer. He had heard some rumors about the demon hunter in the military camp before, and he had some guesses in his mind. Now when he heard Ao Jiu mention it, he was sure that the demon hunter was a real supernatural organization.

However, this organization is public information known to everyone among the extraordinary people.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is still very mysterious.

"These organizations know each other in reality, but in the spiritual world, they don't know each other's identities. Therefore, they usually don't act collectively. But they will help each other through some special means of communication." Ao Jiu said.

"What are the means of communication?" Su Daoshan asked curiously, "Code words, signs?" Ao Jiu nodded and said, "There are message trees in the Spirit Realm. As long as the message is sent through the agreed code words, they can get in touch. However, because they have to keep their identities confidential, the cooperation between these organizations is limited to things that will not expose their identities. It is much more limited than the Spirit Realm organizations."

"What about the top-secret organization?" Su Daoshan asked.

"That's usually an organization of family members, people who can completely trust each other," Ao Jiu said, "They not only know each other's identities in reality, but also in the spiritual realm."

Hearing this, Su Daoshan felt that the spiritual world was becoming more and more interesting. It was like a dark maze, where everyone was pitch dark. Or, it was more like a giant werewolf game.

Just in the moment when Ao Jiu introduced it, he thought of many possibilities.

For example, a person is a demon hunter and has joined an organization in the spirit world. At the same time, he belongs to a family with several extraordinary warriors. He has his own top-secret organization. Then, when the interests of several organizations conflict, this person is almost certainly a traitor who jumps back and forth.

In the Spirit Realm, he would fight for the interests of the demon hunters. In the demon hunters, he would fight for the interests of his family. At the same time, he had to avoid being discovered by the Spirit Realm as a traitor, and to avoid being linked to his real identity by other demon hunters. In some cases, if the Spirit Realm was watching closely and there was no room for maneuver, in order to show his loyalty, he had to charge in and fight hard...

This is only the case when this person is only a demon hunter in reality. What if this person has other identities in the demon hunter - such as a lurker of the magic path?
Besides, besides the Demon Hunters, are there any other real organizations?

All the major sects, the imperial court, Fengyuan Sect...

Su Daoshan could fully imagine how many different thoughts the people standing together would have when something that everyone was paying attention to happened in the spiritual world. He could also fully imagine how many unexpected changes would occur in one thing in the spiritual world.

Everyone can be a betrayer, that's the scary thing about this world.

But from the perspective of game theory, in this kind of world, the benefits of trust are the highest. For example, in a sufficiently large top-secret organization, everyone knows each other's identity in the spiritual world and also knows each other's real identity. Then, when they join forces, they can influence many situations and guide things to develop in the direction they want.

Of course, the cost of trust is also the highest. Once someone betrays...

"It would be great if there was something that could see through the fog and reveal the other party's true identity." The first thing that came to Su Daoshan's mind was the Soul Devouring Talisman. However, this kind of thing is not so easy to obtain, and it is useless against an opponent who is much stronger than himself.

"Then..." Su Daoshan asked thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, the Burning Heaven Society should be a spiritual realm organization, right?"

Ao Jiu nodded and said, "Yes. The Burning Heaven Society is one of the four major organizations in the Spirit Realm. It is extremely powerful. Not only does it have its own orchard, but it also intervenes in many things. For example, vendettas, wanted notices, debt collection, information, exploration, hunting, etc. The main members are spread all over the Spirit Realm."

"Two years ago, Bu Chi showed a talent of the seventh rank, and was spotted by the Burning Heaven Society. The Burning Heaven Society invested a lot of resources to train him. I don't think they will give up this time. I heard that in the Fifth Spirit Realm, they have become the object of ridicule of other organizations."

"Will they come here?" Su Daoshan asked.

"It shouldn't be." Ao Jiu thought for a while and shook his head. "The reason why we live outside the domain is because each time we are killed, we only consume 20 spiritual essences. As long as we have enough spiritual essences and don't get stuck in the tribe, there won't be a big problem."

Ao Jiu said, and then continued: "They should send people to find out the truth in the early stage and understand your situation. If they really take action, it should be after you enter the fifth spiritual realm. As long as they catch and kill you once, they can completely cut off your extraordinary path. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Su Daoshan asked.

"Unless you, Boss, directly expose your identity in reality." Ao Jiu said, "Nowadays, many extraordinary warriors are forced to expose their identities in this way. So that there is no secret at all."

When Su Daoshan heard it, he understood.

If you offend a force in the spiritual realm and are killed by the other party guarding the corpse and cannot enter the spiritual realm, the only way to resolve it is to ask others to save you in reality before you can no longer afford to pay the double spiritual essence. Drive away the people guarding the corpse.

This also means that one's identity will be exposed to the other party.

If this person is a close relative, then maybe it's not a big deal. But if it's someone else, then it's almost like handing over everything you have to the other person.

But on this road where the strong prey on the weak and everyone must compete for the greatest resources, this is simply fatal.

Just like Ao Jiu.

If he wanted to destroy him, he only needed to reveal his real identity. In the spiritual world, there would be countless enemies and righteous people chasing him every day. Anyone on the road could be his enemy. But he didn't know the other party's identity and camp.

"It seems that I have to stay in hiding recently and avoid appearing in Xianlai Town." Su Daoshan thought to himself.

In the spiritual world, people can only be recognized through spiritual perception, and spiritual perception is indescribable.

This means that even though so many people knew Su Daoshan when he was killing everyone in the Yellow Bamboo Forest, few people who actually came from the Fifth Spirit Realm, except Buchi and others, had actually seen him.

After all, as a newcomer, the number of people who know him is still very small.

As long as he tried to keep aloof and low-key, then even if he was met somewhere else, as long as there was no one around who knew him, no one would be able to match their spiritual perception with their name and know who he was.

This is the safest way at present.

"I was thinking about going to other towns and talking to people. But now it seems that I should forget it. In the spirit world, making such a big fuss and causing trouble in public is simply courting death."

"Even if you want to kill someone, you have to be sneaky from now on, and try to do it when there are fewer people around."

"Well, let's go alone for a while. Let's go around the spiritual realm and digest the spiritual essence in our hands."

Su Daoshan thought about it in his mind, and then he said to Ao Jiu, "By the way, tell me, what are you doing in reality now? This time when the You Clan invaded Wen'an City, did you, the Wanmo Sect, receive any instructions in Xiazhou?"

"Yes," Ao Jiu nodded, "The order I received said that the You Clan's attack on Wen'an City was just a cover. In fact, the main force that was really dispatched this time was the three demon sects..."
