I created an evil god organization in a sandbox world.

The scenery before Yu Man's eyes disappeared, leaving only that terrifying black light. Her whole body felt cold and eerie, as if she were being dragged into hell by a vengeful spirit.

Bai Xiu calmly slashed at the sky.

Even the peak Marrow Cleansing Realm expert was filled with terror. The knife in his hand was shattered, and his body was sent flying, crashing into the roof and soaring into the sky.

"Impossible, my Iron Wall Body..." His face was filled with pain and despair, and the vengeful spirits roared in his ears, while the black slash was accompanied by terrifyingly hot magma.

His highly regarded advanced body-refining technique was directly dissolved.

bump!

But it wasn't over yet. The black slash still had some power left, soaring directly into the sky. The clouds above were melted by the intense heat and turned into rain.

The entire bar, starting from the roof, was cut in two, with rainwater falling along with the shattered bricks.

The bar fell silent.

Even the three late-stage Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivators forgot to make a move, staring blankly at Bai Xiu.

Yu Man forgot to breathe, standing there blankly, letting the dust fall on her.

Tian Hai and Jiang Feng both opened their mouths wide, unable to utter a single word.

The bar owner, Mr. Zhang, was also trembling, staring in disbelief at the huge hole that had been opened in the top of the bar.

He stared blankly at Bai Xiu.

At this moment, Bai Xiu held his sword in one hand, rain dripping onto him through the roof opening. He smiled at the shopkeeper and said:

"Brother, it's only fair to reciprocate. I gave you face last time, so give me face this time too and let me use your achievements, okay, brother?"

Bai Xiu's words echoed in the tavern, but no one uttered a sound, and the drinking customers watched this scene in complete silence.

Holy crap!!

"What kind of slash is that? Captain, that's too exaggerated!" Li Meng and the others only realized what was going on at this moment.

They always thought Bai Xiu was gentle, but now it seems... the clown is actually them!

The drinkers also shut their mouths in fear. Last time they seemed to have mocked Bai Xiu for being cowardly, but now they were filled with remorse. They lowered their heads, their faces pale, afraid of being noticed by Bai Xiu.

The other three late-stage Marrow Cleansing cultivators had completely lost their will to live and fled in fear. Bai Xiu killed two of them directly.

One escaped, and Bai Xiu immediately informed Captain Nightingale to give chase.

Yu Man only then came to her senses from that terrifying slash.

So strong, and...

Yu Man looked at Bai Xiu with a complicated expression.

Did the captain already know there was danger inside?

Yu Man was also very clever and immediately figured out why Bai Xiu didn't go there.

She thought the other person was cowardly, but in reality, the clown was herself.

At that time, Bai Xiu stopped her because he wanted to save her.

After figuring this out, her face inexplicably flushed and she felt a little ashamed.

After dealing with the rest of the tavern patrons, Bai Xiu began to rob Boss Zhang and the others.

The battle went smoothly, and no other wanted criminals were hiding here. It seems that this is not the Rose Society's headquarters, but just an important branch.

However, with a peak-level expert of the Marrow Cleansing Realm presiding over this place, it is no ordinary place.

Bai Xiu patiently examined them, trying to find clues, but found nothing special on them, only some membership cards, wallets, and personal items.

After taking all the photos, Bai Xiu prepared to investigate slowly.

Captain Nightingale sent someone to handle the aftermath, and then summoned Bai Xiu directly to her office.

Bai Xiu remained calm; he knew that Captain Nightingale would definitely ask questions.

……

"What's going on?" Nightingale asked, puzzled.

Bai Xiu then recited the lines he had prepared long ago.

"Yu Man noticed something was off about the bar, so we went to check it out. We were surprised to find that it seemed to be a criminal's hideout."

After hearing this, Nightingale looked at Bai Xiu and asked, "What's the deal with your swordsmanship?"

Bai Xiu was already prepared. "Captain, you know, I have a natural feeling that I can find good things in the wild. I also found this sword technique by chance outside."

Nightingale was taken aback upon hearing this, then remembered Bai Xiu's experience of leading her to find the Spirit Essence Honey.

Bai Xiu's premonition was indeed strong.

"I see. I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. But your swordsmanship is not simple. You can actually defeat a master at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm." Nightingale looked at Bai Xiu with some emotion.

My teammate is really a genius.

Bai Xiu was about to explain when Nightingale waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'm not interested in your swordsmanship, but you should be careful. I will announce to the public that I am working with you to deal with the peak Marrow Cleansing Realm expert. That way you will be safer."

"Thank you, Captain." A hint of gratitude flashed in Bai Xiu's eyes upon hearing this.

Although the tavern was crowded and it was difficult to completely hide the truth, with Captain Nightingale helping him cover it up, he wouldn't need to expose so much.

After learning more about the situation, Nightingale smiled at Bai Xiu and said, "Congratulations! You destroyed an important hideout of the Rose Society this time. You're guaranteed at least an A-level achievement. I'll apply to Minister Li for you to learn the Azure Jade Body. There should be a good chance."

Bai Xiu's eyes lit up.

I finally have the chance to learn the legendary Jade Body.

"Alright, go and rest. You've really done a great job this time. Keep up the good work, because not everyone gets the chance to learn the Azure Jade Body," Nightingale advised.

"Thank you, Captain."

Bai Xiu left Nightingale's office in a good mood.

Jiang Feng and the others also returned. When they saw Bai Xiu, they were much more respectful than before, their eyes filled with admiration.

Bai Xiu smiled and nodded to them.

It wasn't time to leave work yet, so Bai Xiu went back to his office to slack off.

……

At this moment, only Gu Qian was there, and she was still diligently researching information.

"You're working so hard."

"Of course, the murderer in the rain must be caught." Gu Qian gritted her teeth, clearly thinking of the humiliating experience of being made to cry.

"Any clues?" Bai Xiu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Qian nodded, carefully closed the door, and said softly, "We have a clue, but it's not certain yet."

"Oh?" Bai Xiu had only asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to actually have a clue.

Gu Qian stretched, clearly having worked hard these past few days.

Then, she took out a few documents from a pile of documents on the table and said, "According to my investigation, these four places in Grey River City are quite suspicious, and the most suspicious of them is this place called Xinglong Auction House."

Bai Xiu took the documents, which were catalogs of Xinglong Auction House's products over the years. He looked at them carefully but didn't find anything unusual.

Gu Qian, her eyes shining, explained, "Didn't you notice? This auction house looks pretty normal, but there are actually some things that aren't quite right."

"Where?" Bai Xiu genuinely couldn't tell.

Gu Qian pointed to a few places and said, "The prices of these products are a bit strange. They haven't fluctuated much in the past year, and they didn't even increase in price at some key time points."

"Huh? Is there a problem with not raising prices?" Bai Xiu didn't understand.

Gu Qian said with some smugness, "Of course there are problems. The demand for various goods varies at different times of the year, so some products can still be sold even with a slight price increase in order to make a profit. But I've noticed that there are a few things whose prices have remained stable."

"You mean, that auction house might be a cover-up?" A strange light flashed in Bai Xiu's eyes.

Judging that the other party has a problem by the slight increase in the price of certain specific goods is a pretty clever idea.

Gu Qian smiled and said, "Actually, if my father hadn't been the deputy hall master of the Demon Hunter Hall and hadn't been exposed to these things since I was a child, I might not have been able to discover it. This is because the vast majority of goods are determined by the market, and only these few magical materials are different. However, anyone who is serious about running a business will definitely know this."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiu suddenly recalled the membership card he had just obtained from Boss Zhang.

Next, Bai Xiu looked at the sample membership card of Xinglong Auction House in the information, and then his eyes changed slightly.

The styles are the same.

Gu Qian said wearily, "However, it's just a suspicion. There are many such places. I'll go to this auction house to investigate first."

Bai Xiu looked at Gu Qian with surprise.

This guy... actually found the right place.

The same membership card, coupled with the unusually high prices of goods at the auction, suggests that the place is very likely the headquarters of the Rose Society.

"Speaking of which, does your father know that you're investigating Night Slash?" Bai Xiu suddenly asked.

"Of course I don't know. I didn't tell my dad, otherwise he wouldn't let me do such a dangerous thing. Can you keep it a secret for me?" Gu Qian shook her head.

"Okay, sure."

Bai Xiu glanced at Gu Qian.

Gu Qian only felt that the auction was abnormal, and she probably didn't expect that it was actually the headquarters of the Rose Society.

If someone recklessly barges in like that, they're likely to die.

However, Gu Qian's death seems to be a good thing for Bai Xiu.

The girl in front of him was relentlessly pursuing him, and she was so determined. Such a person was dangerous.

If he dies in the Rose Society, Bai Xiu will be safer.

In the end, he and Gu Qian didn't have much of a relationship. They had only done business together once or twice. They weren't really friends; they were just business partners.

"When do you plan to set off to investigate?" Bai Xiu asked.

"There's an auction in ten days, and I'll set off then," Gu Qian said with a smile.

"Well, good luck then," Bai Xiu said calmly to Gu Qian.

……

After get off work, Bai Xiu walked along, pondering the Brilliant Auction House.

That place was indeed ingenious.

There are many people at the auction, all wearing masks, so the Roses can hold a secret meeting without being noticed.

They just didn't expect that Gu Qian was so professional; she noticed their unusual behavior based on the prices of a few items.

In other words, ten days later, when the auction begins, the Rose Society members, including Ye Zhan, will likely meet up during the busy period.

Bai Xiu smiled.

I finally found it.

Wait, they kill Gu Qian, then Bai Xiu kills them.

That way, everyone who threatened the identity of the Rain Night Killer would be gone.

Bai Xiu had already made a plan, but suddenly, news came from Sandbox Town.

The town is undergoing changes.

Ok?

Bai Xiu looked at it curiously, then his expression changed slightly.

Then, in the list of characters, the pupa wrapped in the water-moon curtain had changed.

It kept breaking and shaking...

Something inside is about to come out.
