Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 170 Zhengyi's Power on This Land

On the third day of March, Zhengyi began to investigate the entire spiritual world.

Under the revealing spell, vampires had nowhere to hide, and more than ten people were exposed and captured on the first day alone.

"hateful!"

In the British Concession, Gulliver was filled with anger when he received the message from his men.

First, the dragon-slaying wizard was exposed and escaped, and then in recent times, all the vampires from the Zhengyi sect suddenly lost contact collectively, and he realized that something was wrong.

But unexpectedly, Zhengyi not only cleaned up his own house, but also interfered in such a wide range of matters and took action against the entire spiritual world.

If this continues, all the hard work he has put in over the years will probably be wasted!
"Master, what should we do now?"

Tulong and the others looked at Guru nervously with panic on their faces.

They are all quite accomplished and have some status in the spiritual world, but it is precisely because of this that they are more aware of Zhengyi's power.

Zheng Yi's move at this moment made them panic instantly.

"What should I do? You only know how to ask me what to do. What else can I do?"

Gulus glared at them angrily, then took a deep breath and spoke.

"Notify everyone to hide as much as possible and avoid being interrogated by the Zhengyi Sect! If you can't hide, run. Don't let them catch you!"

"Yes!"

They looked at each other and left quickly.

Li Kunshan stood by and couldn't help wondering how vampires communicated with each other.

If the notification was done by human, the efficiency would be too low. There must be some special channel or magic.

However, Cruise did not tell him this method. Was it because he was not responsible for this, or was it because Cruise was still wary of him?
It’s not clear, and Li Kunshan is not going to investigate it for the time being. As an undercover agent beside Gu Rus, the most important thing for him right now is to lie in ambush and wait for the opportunity!
After Carlos's order was passed on, it did have some effect, but not a big one.

The spiritual world is so vast that, aside from a few scattered individuals, the number of disciples in each sect and family is clearly known. Zhengyi's investigation this time will not leave out a single cultivator in the spiritual world!
How can you hide if they check you one by one?
If you can't hide, you can only escape, but once you escape, it's equivalent to exposing yourself.

Without Zhengyi having to make a move, the sect or family would immediately do their utmost to hunt the person down. After all, having a vampire among their disciples would not only be a loss of face, but it would also very likely expose their own skills, something they absolutely could not tolerate.

In this case, how many people can escape?

So, even if some people ran away at the beginning when they saw the situation was not good, they were soon caught one by one.

Next, the vampires hiding in the spiritual world were constantly being pulled out, and the more time passed, the more they were exposed.

Although Zhengyi was powerful, investigating the entire spiritual world was still a daunting task. So, he gathered several trustworthy sects and families that had already completed their investigations, taught them the Mantra of Revealing Form, and assisted them in their work.

As a result, work progress was greatly improved.

"Master! If this continues, all our people will be wiped out!"

In less than a month, nearly one-third of the vampires hiding in the spiritual world have been killed.

Tulong and others gathered in Gu Lu's office with anxious faces.

"Don't I know? Then tell me what to do!"

"This……"

Several people looked at each other, and for a moment they all lowered their heads in silence.

What can they do when faced with the behemoth Zhengyi?

"Or let's run away!"

After a moment, Tulong suddenly spoke.

"escape?"

Li Kunshan stood by and snorted disdainfully.

"Where to escape to? Leave this land, go to Great Britain, go to Europe?"

"no!"

When he heard about returning to England, Gloucester's face changed instantly, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"I can't go back!"

"My Lord Count!"

Li Kunshan continued with a serious expression.

"If this continues, the rest of us will be picked out one by one. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have no choice but to run away."

"No? Weren't you against running away just now?"

Tu Long and others widened their eyes and looked at Li Kunshan coldly.

"And the master has already said that he will never go back."

"Idiot, how can running away be the same as escaping? I'm doing a strategic retreat."

Li Kunshan snorted and spoke directly to Gloucester.

"To avoid total annihilation, we can no longer harbor any hope of success. We should immediately have everyone abandon everything and flee to the mountains to hide!"

"so……"

It turned out that they did not flee back to Europe, but just hid in the mountains.

Gloucester frowned and pondered for a while.

"No, Master! If we do that, our plans in the spirit world will be ruined!"

Tulong spoke, his face full of anxiety, and glanced at Li Kunshan angrily.

In fact, they had no idea, but as opponents, they just went against Li Kunshan.

"If you don't run away now, are you waiting to die?"

Li Kunshan spoke to Cruise again in a cold voice.

"There's an old saying in the East: 'As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood.' We must conserve our strength now, and only after this period of time has passed can we make a comeback."

"Not bad!"

Carlos pondered for a long time and finally nodded.

Although the loss was huge, it was better than being killed altogether. Now he actually had no other choice.

Then his face darkened and he gave the order.

"Notify everyone else immediately and flee to the mountains to avoid Zhengyi's pursuit!"

"……Yes."

The Dragon Slayer and the others looked at Li Kunshan indignantly, but since Gulus had already given the order, they had no choice but to go and carry it out.

After the meeting, Carlos waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Years of planning were destroyed, and he is now very hurt and needs to be alone.

After returning to the room, Li Kunshan closed the doors and windows, and immediately cast a spell to pass the message back to Zhengyi.

Although the Revealing Spell could reveal a vampire's true form, it was too time-consuming to interrogate them one by one, and the longer the night went, the more things would change. The further back you retreated, the easier it would be for them to find a way to evade interrogation or resist the Revealing Spell.

Therefore, the best way is to let these vampires expose themselves!
It is for this reason that Li Kunshan made this suggestion.

Zhengyi was also well prepared, and as long as someone escaped, they would be able to track them down immediately!
"Humph."

After the message was delivered, Li Kunshan smiled lightly.

In this way, these vampires are not far from destruction.

That was exactly what happened. After receiving the order from Gloucester, the vampires hiding in various places in the spiritual world immediately fled overnight.

As soon as they escaped, their respective sects and families would immediately be informed and would then pursue them according to Zhengyi's instructions. As for those who were unaffiliated, Zhengyi and several other major sects would be responsible.

In just one night, almost all the vampires hiding in the spiritual world were exposed and captured in large numbers!

Although the rest are more cunning, it is only a matter of time before they are caught.

"hateful!"

Upon hearing the news, Carlos became furious again.

If this continues, all the vampires he developed in the spiritual world will be destroyed in a few days!
"I told you not to run away. I don't know what the person who came up with this idea was up to!"

"Are you questioning Count Gulus?"

"I mean you."

"But this was agreed to by Count Gulus, and why didn't you tell me then? Now that there's a problem, you're starting to..."

"that is because……"

"Alright! Shut up!"

Seeing Li Kunshan and Tulong arguing, the already depressed Gu Lus became even more irritated. He shouted loudly and glared at the two of them with his scarlet eyes.

Tulong shuddered with fear and quickly shut up.

Li Kunshan snorted and stopped talking.

"What's the point of arguing? The problem at hand is how to solve it!"

Gulus looked at everyone, his expression extremely gloomy. "What do you have in mind?"

"Master, if my guess is correct, Zhengyi must have united with the various factions and cast some kind of spell, and everyone has been exposed!"

"nonsense."

"you……"

Tu Long glared at Li Kunshan, didn't continue arguing with him, and continued.

"In that case, if we continue to disperse, we will only be defeated one by one. Therefore, I suggest that we gather all the remaining people together. This way, there will still be some possibility of resisting!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Li Kunshan couldn't help but look sideways.

I thought to myself, he really deserves to be called the Dog-Headed Military Advisor. He can come up with such an idea. What's the difference between this and connecting the boats with iron chains? Wouldn't it save them a lot of trouble?

"Humph."

Thinking that he was surprised by his own good plan, Tulong snorted lightly, a smug look on his face, and continued.

"We have to act without delay, otherwise more people will be arrested!"

"good."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Gulus pondered for a moment, nodded again, and then asked another question.

"Then where is the best place to gather people?"

"This one……"

"right here!"

The dragon slayer seemed to be inspired by something and spoke again.

"This is the British Concession. If Zhengyi wants to come here to arrest people, he must first get the British's permission! Moreover, there are many ordinary people here. Zhengyi is hypocritical, so they have to consider whether they will accidentally hurt ordinary people if they take action here."

"Ah."

Li Kunshan smiled and had to admit that Tulong still had some brains, although not much.

Especially when it comes to bad ideas, he is indeed better than others.

"here……"

Gloucester hesitated for a moment, then looked at the others.

"What are your opinions?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to object.

"Okay then! Let's do it!"

Carlos's face darkened and he gave the order directly.

"Summon everyone here to fight against the Zhengyi Sect together!"

"Yes!"

Tulong and the others responded loudly and left immediately.

Li Kunshan smiled and followed him out.

Back in the room, Li Kunshan cast a spell again and passed the message back to Zhengyi.

Although all the vampires have exposed themselves, they are scattered everywhere, so it is still quite troublesome to catch them all.

In particular, apart from Zhengyi, other sects and families have different methods of tracking their own disciples. Some of them cannot last long, while others are easier to break.

Now that everyone is gathered together, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!
However, it is indeed troublesome for these vampires to sneak into the British Concession.

But I think they should have a way.

A few days later, vampires began to enter the concession from all directions.

However, before them, there were already Zhengyi mages lying in ambush at each entrance.

But they did not try to stop them. Instead, they cast a spell and quietly marked everyone who entered the concession.

After about half a month, almost all the remaining vampires gathered in the concession.

"It's finally time."

Standing in front of the third-floor window, looking at the increasingly evil aura in the British Concession, Li Kunshan smiled lightly.

After three years and three years, his undercover work is finally coming to an end.

Buzz~!

At noon that day, there was a sudden buzzing sound, and a huge magic circle rose up, covering the entire British Concession!

"This is!"

Seeing the magic circle appear, Tulong and others were all panicked and hurried to find Gu Lus.

"What the hell is this?!"

Gloucester had also noticed it and asked loudly.

"This should be a formation aimed at us."

Tulong spoke, his expression extremely solemn.

"I just had someone try it out. Whether it's a Western zombie or a human, as long as they touch this formation, they will be instantly burned to ashes and destroyed!"

"so smart!"

"Doesn't that mean we are all trapped?"

Upon hearing this news, everyone was in a panic again.

"Now I'm trapped. I really don't know what the person who came up with this idea was thinking."

Li Kunshan snorted and glanced at Tulong.

"Humph!"

Tulong was no longer in the mood to argue with Li Kunshan. He snorted coldly and then spoke to Gloucester.

"It's normal for Zhengyi to notice the actions of so many people, and they will certainly respond. But it doesn't matter. Maintaining such a large formation consumes a lot of mana, so we can just fight him!"

"Consume?"

"That's right. Anyway, there's food and drink in the concession. If we don't go out and touch this magic circle, what can they do to us?"

"correct."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah."

Gloucester nodded, feeling a little relieved, and continued.

"Then tell everyone, don't be afraid, just wait patiently."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded and went to convey the order again.

Li Kunshan followed him out, curling his lips in disdain.

"Notice! Notice! An unknown virus is spreading within the concession. Everyone evacuate the concession immediately. We will conduct a comprehensive disinfection of the concession..."

Just after an hour, an emergency notice was suddenly issued from the loudspeakers in the streets and alleys of the concession.

Virus? Evacuate!
Upon hearing the news, the people in the concession were in a panic.

"hateful!"

In comparison, the vampires were more panicked.

This is clearly clearing the area!
Now that they can't get out, why are they letting ordinary people leave?
"No! We can't let ordinary people go!"

These ordinary people are their shields. If they all leave, Zhengyi can attack them unscrupulously.

"Go find out quickly! Who sent this notice? Talk to the consul and have him cancel it!"

Carlos's face was filled with anger and he immediately gave orders to his men.

Immediately afterwards, someone quickly went to the consulate.

But unexpectedly, the consulate staff had already evacuated! Only the same notice was posted on the main entrance.

"That's how it happened."

Cruise was full of surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could actually deal with the British consulate.

Why would officials of the British Empire obey the arrangements of those Eastern Taoists!

Seeing the look of disbelief on Golrus's face, Li Kunshan sneered in his heart. He had underestimated the power of Zhengyi in this land.

Close the door and beat the dog, the fun is about to begin.
