Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 180 The mastermind behind the scenes
Zhuo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Can't find it at all?"

Lin Duanyun shook his head slightly and said, "It's impossible to say that we can't find him at all. Although my master has enjoyed traveling around the martial arts world these years, he has always been within Mobei. He would notify us in advance when he occasionally leaves Mobei. He hasn't written to me in the past six months, which means he must be within Mobei. I will send a message back immediately, asking all channels and personnel of our Qiongshan Sect to help search for him."

Immediately, the leaders of various factions also expressed that they would help find Bai Qiliao.

Regarding this matter, Zhuo Qingfeng did not believe that these people would pretend to obey but actually disobey. After all, it was related to the zombie skills and the survival of the eight major sects. If He Changqing really came back to the world to seek revenge, it would be a lot of fun. The precedent of the Dadao Sect was a lesson for him.

After many martial arts masters expressed their willingness to help find Bai Qiliao, Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Finding Sect Leader Bai is only one thing. The second thing is that our Six Sects have recently integrated a group of evil masters who are suspected of practicing zombie skills. We need to trouble the major sects to help find them. Everyone should keep in touch and inform each other as soon as there is any news."

Immediately, Zhuo Qingfeng sent people to distribute the wanted orders compiled by the Six Gates for those evil masters who might have practiced zombie skills to the leaders of various factions.

Subsequently,

The crowd gathered around those evil masters to discuss for a while, and then dispersed.

……

Gu Mo stayed with Zhuo Qingfeng in Dadaomen for a few days, and only left after all the victims of Dadaomen were buried. At the same time, those people from various factions in the martial arts world who came to pay their respects also left one after another.

but,

Gu Mo and his group did not return to Changling County, but stayed in Jackdaw Ferry.

Zhuo Qingfeng established a Six-Door Household Office in Jackdaw Ferry, and from this base, he began to tangle with the underworld forces in the Jackdaw Ferry area. After all, now that the Big Knife Sect was wiped out, the underworld forces in the Jackdaw Ferry area were leaderless, and the Six-Door Household Office was the easiest to control.

Gu Mo began to proceed according to the original plan and taught Gu Chudong the Extinction Cross Sword Technique.

Gu Chudong has reached the seventh level of Mingyu Gong. Her martial arts realm has been greatly improved, and her bones have also been greatly improved. In addition, she is quite talented in swordsmanship and learns very quickly. In just a few days, she has mastered some of the essentials of the Extinction Cross Sword Technique.

This day, noon.

Gu Chudong was practicing her swordsmanship in the yard. She stood in a steady horse stance, the Gou Chen Demon Sword in her hand, and slowly unleashed her swordsmanship according to the key points. With each swing of the sword, she poured all her strength into it.

As the sword light flashed, there were faint cross-shaped sword auras swirling out, but the sword aura was thin and empty, just like a candle in the wind, swaying unsteadily.

Gu Mo sat under the eaves nearby and threw a wooden stick in his hand towards Gu Chudong.

Gu Chudong slashed out quickly with his sword, and in an instant, a cross of sword energy came out, instantly splitting the wooden stick into four pieces.

But Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "The essence of the Extinction Cross Blade Technique lies in its ruthlessness, decisiveness, and simplicity of moves. But each move contains a sense of determination, leaving no room for maneuver, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent as quickly as possible.

The style mainly consists of straight and horizontal slashes. Although it seems simple, it can be so fast that the opponent cannot defend it. Through its unique force-generating technique, the sword energy crisscrosses the opponent, which is not only fast but also has unexpected directions and angles.

But your current sword energy doesn't capture the essence of the Extinction Cross Sword Technique at all. It focuses on two words: speed and trickery. Speed ​​is decisive and decisive, while trickery is strange and cunning.

While talking,

Gu Mo stood up and took the Gou Chen Demon Sword from Gu Chudong. In an instant, a cold light suddenly flashed from the blade.

He stamped his feet slightly, and the pile of firewood in the yard suddenly exploded.

The knife comes out.

The blade's energy twisted like a venomous snake breaking through the earth, and dozens of cross-shaped streaks of cold light flickered east and west, like a spider web blown apart by the wind. But those crooked lines somehow entangled each piece of firewood—the crackling sound was as fine as rain, and the sawdust turned to dust before it even hit the ground.

"The Extinction Cross Sword Technique is a ruthless sword." Gu Mo placed the Gou Chen Demon Sword back into Gu Chudong's hand and said, "If you show mercy to a ruthless sword, you will never be able to unleash its essence."

At this moment, in the yard, the sword energy was allowed to wander in the air, like a group of ghosts that refused to disperse.

Gu Chudong held the Gou Chen Demon Sword, looking thoughtful.

Gu Mo didn't say anything more and slowly walked out of the yard, leaving Gu Chudong there to think.

As soon as he walked out the door, Zhuo Qingfeng came towards him.

Gu Mo said, "Just now in the yard, I heard your hurried footsteps. If I'm not mistaken, there's another blood-sucking incident, and it's not just a minor one!"

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "You're right. I just received news that the seven major sects were attacked by zombies on their way back from leaving Dadaomen. The ambushes were very precise. The people from Wuhumen, Hanjiangmen, and Suxinan were almost completely wiped out. The Qiongshan Sect, Longmen Sect, Jinzhang Gang, and Tongshan Sect each suffered losses. They are now gathering in Tuoling Town. The Qiongshan Sect captured a zombie alive, and many martial arts sects are now rushing to Tuoling Town."

Gu Mo asked, "Who was captured alive? Did they torture him to find out who was behind this?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "The zombie captured by the Qiongshan Sect is Yin Jiuniang, the famous evil master in the Mobei martial arts world."

Gu Mo had an impression of the name Yin Jiuniang.

I immediately found the relevant tasks in the Sea of ​​Consciousness system:

[Wanted Target—Yin Jiuniang]

[Mission Level: Two Star]

[Quest Reward—Black Iron Dagger]

【Note: The mission has expired】

……

Looking at the note, Gu Mo knew that Yin Jiuniang must have been taken over by the Six Gates. He had encountered this situation before, as his system had many wanted criminals.

Once the wanted criminals are apprehended, the system will remove the note indicating that the mission has failed.

……

Zhuo Qingfeng continued in a low voice, "It's impossible to get any useful information out of it through torture. According to the people sent by Lin Duanyun, the head of the Qiongshan Sect, they found that although the zombie was a normal person, it didn't act like a normal person. Its mental will was controlled and enslaved, so it's impossible to get any information out of it through torture."

"Mental slavery?" Gu Mo was surprised.

"Yes," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "It's just like the infamous Soul Transfer Technique in the martial arts world. However, the Soul Transfer Technique has great limitations and can only control the mind of others for a short period of time, making them like the walking corpse, with no memory when they wake up. But this zombie skill is different. According to the disciple from the Qiongshan Sect who delivered the message, Yin Jiuniang behaved just like an ordinary person. She was just very loyal and would never reveal the person behind her even if beaten to death.

However, the leader of the Golden Palm Gang possesses a secret spiritual technique. He discovered that Yin Jiuniang's consciousness has a spiritual slave mark, which is the kind that cannot be broken. If it is forcibly broken, the body will die. "

Gu Mo said in a deep voice: "In other words, even though we caught him alive, it actually didn't do anything?"

"No," Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head. "It works because you're here."

"What do you mean?" Gu Mo was puzzled.

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "The person behind Yin Jiuniang's mind has a mental slave mark in it, and that person must know it. So, he wouldn't care if he was captured alive. But if the great Yunzhou hero and Grandmaster Gu Mo publicly announced that he had a way to remove the mental slave mark, do you think that person behind the scenes would be worried?

No matter how confident he is in his secrets, facing the solemn promises of a renowned Grandmaster, he will be shaken. He will definitely not be able to hold back and will inevitably find a way to verify or silence him. We are worried that he will not move, because if he does, he will reveal his flaws.

Gu Mo asked, "Are you sure he will come?"

"Definitely." Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Because, during this attack on the seven major sects, the enemy was able to accurately obtain the whereabouts, departure time, etc. of the seven major sects. This means that the enemy must be among those who came to participate in the Dadao Sect's condolences, and their identities are not ordinary people in the martial arts world.

Now, it's not just the people from the seven major sects; all the martial arts forces who came to mourn are also returning to Tuoling Town. In this case, those who return may not necessarily be related to the zombie kung fu, but if they don't return, then there must be something fishy going on. Therefore, the person behind the scenes will definitely rush to Tuoling Town as well."

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. So, you mean for me to use my reputation as a Yunzhou hero to put pressure on the person behind this?"

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "To be honest, no matter how cunning the method is, no matter how confident the other party is in themselves, I don't believe that Yunzhou, one of the ten great masters of Qian Country, said that he could break it. He is still not worried at all. I don't believe that anyone can be so confident in themselves."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "What if the other party is really that confident?"

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "If you are so confident, then we will continue to investigate step by step. Yin Jiuniang was arrested and it was confirmed that she was practicing zombie skills. This means that our previous judgment of the Six Gates was correct. There are a group of evil masters who practice zombie skills. We will continue to track them down.

Although these people, like Yin Jiuniang, may all have the Spirit Slave Mark and won't reveal a single clue about the person behind the scenes, they themselves are clues. They always have commonalities and intersections. If you investigate carefully, you will always be able to find clues."

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "So, shall we leave now?"

"Of course, the sooner the better."

……

Tuoling Town is a relatively large commercial town in Jackdaw Crossing. It is usually quite lively, and now it is even more lively. Martial arts forces from all sides have gathered here, with at least four to five hundred martial artists.

The focus now is a manor called Lujiazhuang in Tuoling Town.

Gu Mo, Zhuo Qingfeng and other Six Gates detectives traveled day and night, and arrived at Tuoling Town after a day and a night. Many martial artists came to greet them and escorted Gu Mo into Lujiazhuang.

After some polite greetings, the leader of the Qiongshan Sect, Lin Duanyun, and the leader of the Golden Palm Gang led Gu Mo and Zhuo Qingfeng into a hidden room.

In the room, a woman with both arms cut off was tied up with thick iron chains. Four chains as thick as thumbs were wrapped around four huge rocks.

The woman sat on the ground, her whole body emitting coldness, shivering, and her face turned blue, which were obvious symptoms of a cold poison attack.

This person is none other than Yin Jiuniang, a master of evil ways.

Gu Mo stepped forward and gently tapped Yin Jiuniang's forehead. He could indeed sense the presence of a spiritual power fluctuation. However, he knew nothing about spiritual martial arts, so he naturally had no way of dealing with it. He immediately shook his head slightly.

Seeing Gu Mo shaking his head, Zhuo Qingfeng, Lin Duanyun and others were a little disappointed, but not very disappointed. After all, before coming, they had already made plans that Gu Mo would not be able to remove Yin Jiuniang's mental slave seal.

They stayed in the room for a while.

Zhuo Qingfeng and Lin Duanyun came out and publicly announced that Gu Mo was unable to remove Yin Jiuniang's mental slave seal and failed. Yin Jiuniang died on the spot, causing an uproar.

However, that night, some careful people discovered that the elite members of the Six Gates and several core figures of the Qiongshan School were not in Lujiazhuang.

Late at night, in a small courtyard in Lujiazhuang.

A young man in his thirties was pacing back and forth, with a look of anxiety between his brows.

This person was able to be given a separate courtyard in the Lu Family Manor where many heroes gathered. His identity was naturally not simple. He was Ke Wenshui, the owner of Taohua Mountain Manor.

While Peach Blossom Villa's status in the Mobei region wasn't as high as that of the Eight Great Sects, it was still a major force in the region, second only to the Eight Great Sects. Its owner, Ke Wenshui, was a young talent on par with the current head of the Qiongshan Sect, Lin Duanyun. However, Lin Duanyun's reputation was superior due to his support from the Qiongshan Sect.

"The owner of the village."

An ugly, hunchbacked old man appeared outside the door. This man was the steward of Taohua Villa and Ke Wenshui's most trusted confidant.

When Ke Wenshui saw the old butler, he quickly let him in, then closed the door behind him and used his inner energy to transmit his voice, asking, "What's going on?"

The old housekeeper also transmitted a message: "Master, it is indeed as you guessed. The news during the day was a smokescreen they released. Gu Mo, Zhuo Qingfeng, and Lin Duanyun are not in Lujia Manor at the moment."

Ke Wenshui's pupils shrank slightly, and he continued to transmit his voice: "This is troublesome, Gu Mo might really have a way to remove the mental slave mark I planted.

They must have realized that the person behind the scenes was in Lujia Village, so they deliberately announced to the outside world that Gu Mo failed to remove the seal to let us relax our vigilance. The real situation should be that Gu Mo was able to remove it, but it was very difficult and he was interrupted in the middle, so he announced to the outside world that he failed to remove the seal, and then secretly transferred Yin Jiuniang away and then went to remove the seal.

But they made a mistake and shouldn't have said Yin Jiuniang was dead. If they hadn't said that, I wouldn't have noticed they were throwing a smokescreen. They never expected that although I couldn't silence her remotely, I could sense the presence of the Spirit Slave Seal. Now, Yin Jiuniang's Spirit Slave Seal is there, which means she's not dead."

The old housekeeper asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Ke Wenshui said, "Send a message to Sikong Xiao and the others. I can find Yin Jiuniang's location and we'll fight. It will be very difficult for Gu Mo to remove the mental slave seal, and it will consume a lot of energy. His strength must be reduced to one tenth of what it was. If they secretly move away, it will be our opportunity. If they stay in Lujia Village, it will be troublesome."

The old housekeeper said with some doubt: "Master, there are so many martial arts masters in the town after all. If a fight breaks out, they will rush to the rescue very quickly. The main thing is that Gu Mo is a grandmaster. Even if he is mentally exhausted, he will be difficult to deal with. What if he is exposed?"

Ke Wenshui's face was cold, and he said, "Do we have any other options now? We can only take a gamble. It's better than waiting here for Gu Mo to unlock Yin Jiuniang's spiritual slave seal. If we are directly surrounded by them, we will definitely die.

Might as well take the initiative and give it a try, maybe there's still hope. If I'm really exposed, then I'll just go on a killing spree. I can't avenge my father by killing all his enemies, but it's enough. Even if I die, I'll have the face to see my father in the underworld!"
