Chapter 67 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap

That very night, following the plan devised by Shangguan Yun, Li Gang, with an eighth-grade talisman affixed to his body, began to wander around Jiangcheng with his Gu worms.

It appeared that Li Gang was acting as bait alone, but in reality, he was being secretly protected by several martial arts practitioners from the Inspection Department.

As soon as the heretical cultivators show their faces, the inspectors will take them into custody immediately.

Even if they are no match for the evil cultivators, Shangguan Yun will personally take action to suppress them.

Shangguan Yun's plan was indeed good, but Su Wuchen always felt that he had missed something.

such as.

Their inspection department just shut down the black market outside Jiangcheng. Would the murderous Gu cultivators easily show themselves?

Moreover, at this time, a martial artist carrying Gu worms also appeared, which felt somewhat strange.

"Not surprising."

Wang Chen said with a smile, "It seems you've been playing games these past two days and haven't been paying much attention to what's happening in the city."

"Oh?"

Su Wuchen, who was casually following Wang Chen, asked in surprise, "Besides shutting down the black market, is there anything else?"

Wang Chen: "When the Inspection Division was shutting down the black market, they never expected that there was a master hidden in the Wanwu Pavilion. Lord Shangguan fought against him, and both of them were seriously injured. Many treasures of the Wanwu Pavilion were scattered and were taken away by many cultivators in the chaos. Among them was an eighth-grade Gu worm."

"...?"

No.

Is that correct?

Su Wuchen looked surprised.

It's quite possible that there are Gu worms inside the Wuwan Pavilion.

After all, Wanwu Pavilion has always claimed that it buys and sells everything.

exactly.

At this time, the people from the Inspection Department set their sights on the Wanwu Pavilion in the black market!

The Inspection Division cracked down on the black market. Shangguan Yun, the leader of the team, fought with experts from the Myriad Things Pavilion, and both were injured. As a result, some treasures from the Myriad Things Pavilion were lost and picked up by other cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle...

exactly.

Among these treasures is an eighth-grade Gu worm!

"What a coincidence!"

Su Wuchen couldn't help but mutter, "I have a feeling this is all a trap!"

"Yes, you guessed right."

Wang Chen nodded. "This is a trap."

Su Wuchen: "...?"

"Does the head constable know anything inside?"

Zhao Fei also came over, looking curious.

Officer Wang said softly, "The people from the Investigation Department have been keeping an eye on the Gu cultivator for a long time, but this guy is very well hidden, and we haven't been able to pinpoint his approximate location."

"It just so happens that a secret realm has appeared in our Jiangcheng area, which has caused cultivators from the surrounding areas to rush over after the news spread, making it extremely difficult for the Investigation Division to investigate."

"so……"

"Lord Shangguan went directly to shut down the black market."

"Firstly, this is within their duties, and secondly, it is an opportunity to lure out the hidden Gu cultivators."

Understood.

Su Wuchen nodded in realization. From beginning to end, it was all a trap.

The goal is to make the Gu cultivators reveal themselves.

Zhao Fei was somewhat puzzled: "But if that Gu cultivator was hiding, why would he kill people?"

Wang Chen: "Because of the Gu worm."

"To obtain a Gu worm that is terrifying in appearance, strength, and personality, one needs to raise and refine Gu worms."

"Only one out of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Gu worms can stand out!"

"After this Gu worm fought its way out of countless Gu worms, it can no longer cultivate in the ordinary way; it needs human blood."

"However, the blood of ordinary people can only enhance the frenzy of the Gu worms, but cannot elevate them to a higher rank!"

"The blood of cultivators is different."

"Once these Gu worms have tasted the blood of cultivators, they can never go back."

"The blood of every cultivator is a great tonic for Gu worms. Even if the Gu cultivator tries to suppress it, he cannot control the Gu worms' natural instincts..."

Su Wuchen understood and said, "Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman fights monsters?"

Wang Chen glanced at Su Wuchen sideways. "You're spouting rhymes all the time. Planning to switch to an office job?"

Su Wuchen: "I'm just an office worker."

Wang Chen: "..."

After a pause, Wang Chen continued, "Unless the Gu cultivator has the heart to watch the Gu worms they've painstakingly cultivated die!"

Zhao Fei suddenly realized, "It's not that the Gu cultivators want to kill people, it's that the Gu worms want to eat people!"

Wang Chen nodded.

So here's the question.

Su Wuchen pointed to himself and said, "Since this was a plan arranged in advance by Shangguan Yun, why did he make me examine the body?"

Wang Chen: "Because you are exceptionally capable."

Su Wuchen smiled.

Do you think I believe that?

"Alright, let me tell you the truth. The Inspection Department wants to set up a branch in Jiangcheng, so they need to allocate manpower. Military men are easy to recruit, and civil officials are easy to arrange, but how many coroners, who are low-ranking but have heavy responsibilities, do we have in Jiangcheng?"

"Our yamen is short-staffed as a coroner; we've been recruiting for over half a month without finding a suitable candidate. In the end, Zhao Fei recommended you."

"Think about it, if they really set up a branch, how can they manage without manpower?"

Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is the Inspection Department going to establish a branch in Jiangcheng?

What use is the Inspection Department to a tiny place like Jiangcheng?

"Don't look at me, don't ask me, I don't know either."

Seeing Su Wuchen and the other person looking at him, Wang Chen spoke directly, "Anyway, that's what the higher-ups said, so we just need to do as they say."

"Besides, if you really go to the Inspection Department, both your position and salary will double. What's wrong with that?"

Su Wuchen: "I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Wang Chen immediately laughed, "That's more like it."

Zhao Fei: "He's gone, what are we supposed to do at our office?"

Wang Chen shrugged and said, "Let's just leave it at that."

Zhao Fei: "..."

Su Wuchen looked at the unfinished building ahead, wondering, "Will that Gu cultivator show up tonight?"

Wang Chen: "It's hard to say. The Gu worms of the Gu cultivator have devoured that person's organs, so he probably won't need to eat for a while."

"If he were cautious, he wouldn't easily show himself and leave clues for the Investigation Department!"

"but……"

"An eighth-grade Gu worm is far too tempting for Gu cultivators."

"It's like an eighth-grade cultivator at the peak of his cultivation discovers a ninth-grade cultivator who possesses an eighth-grade breakthrough pill. Would you want to snatch it?"

Zhao Fei immediately flashed a knowing smile, "Hehehe..."

Just then, a burst of fire suddenly shot into the sky from the unfinished building in front, turning into a dazzling firework.

This was the signal Li Gang used to notify everyone!

Wang Chen and Zhao Fei stood up instantly.

"It's here!"

"Let's go take a look!"

"I just... ah!"

Just as Su Wuchen was about to refuse, Zhao Fei grabbed him and shoved him onto his back.

Zhao Fei carried Su Wuchen on his back, following beside Wang Chen, heading towards the unfinished building ahead.

"No, is this appropriate?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"..."
