I am the snake demon!

"In addition, I would also like to trouble my uncle to help me set up a points exchange system, and then make it public and spread it throughout the martial arts world. Those who kill a certain number of Blood Shadow Cult members and whose information is verified can come to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to exchange for martial arts techniques and weapons. If there are enough of them, official positions will also be offered."

After giving instructions to Qiu Linyuan, Bai Xuan looked at Li Daoyan and said...

"Points exchange? Use the number of Blood Shadow Cult members to exchange for martial arts manuals in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?" Li Daoyan looked at Bai Xuan in shock, surprised by Bai Xuan's bold idea.

"That's right, the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion should have a similar system. If all else fails, we can refer to the military merit system. Divide the skills into categories and then exchange them," Bai Xuan said.

This isn't anything particularly shocking or outrageous.

The Qin state during the Warring States period already had a system of military meritocracy.

"Yes, there are, but the things in the library of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion are all rare treasures." Li Daoyan frowned and said, especially those on the top floor. If any one of them were to fall into the hands of the martial arts world, it could cause a bloodbath.

This comes at a high cost.

Moreover, Bai Xuan's method was simply too outrageous.

Since the advent of the military formation, the imperial court has completely overwhelmed the martial arts world.

But most of the time, they still choose to let things be done in the martial arts world.

After all, many people in the martial arts world are lawless and despicable. Not to mention those with bad character, even great heroes often break the law with their martial arts. These people are certainly no match for the Zhenbei King's army, but dealing with them is really troublesome.

Especially those unorthodox methods of disguise, although they are all low-level tricks, if they really want to hide, they can hide among the people. It's impossible for tens of thousands of troops to hunt down one person, right?

The amount of money and supplies consumed was astronomical.

Therefore, in general, the imperial court would support the major orthodox sects and let them manage the martial arts world.

The monks may run away, but the temples cannot. The imperial army is inconvenient to deal with lone wanderers in the martial arts world, but it is too easy to deal with sects.

Bai Xuan's methods were truly beyond his expectations.

Moreover, if those martial arts manuals in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion were to be leaked out, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.

"That's not important. What's important is that I want the Blood Shadow Cult leader to come to me on his knees. Otherwise, I'll keep raising the stakes. Everyone here is one of us, so I have nothing to hide. I've disliked studying since I was a child, I'm not cunning, not particularly clever, and I don't know any tricks or schemes. I can only hurt people with my own strength." Bai Xuan said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Li Daoyan looked deeply at Bai Xuan, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Indeed, harming someone with one's own resources does not constitute a conspiracy.

It even seems like you don't need to use your brain.

But this is an open conspiracy, almost impossible to solve.

One can injure someone with one's own strength, and one force can overcome ten techniques.

If the library of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion were fully opened, the entire martial arts world would hunt down the Blood Shadow Cult members without hesitation.

Therefore, Blood Shadow Cult Leader Blood Heaven Lord only had two choices.

The first option is to fight to the bitter end. The Blood Shadow Sect should close its doors to the world and remain secluded for at least several decades, otherwise they will surely die.

The second option is reconciliation, sacrificing the credibility that the Demonic Cult never had in the first place, and revealing who the real culprit behind it all is.

It's not hard to guess which one Blood Heaven Lord will choose.

A conspiracy that uses a small investment to achieve a large return, and if successful, can be recorded in history and written about in great detail, is all about being rare.

There are countless examples of people successfully harming others with their own resources, which is why they haven't been written about in detail.

Bai Xuanyuan was even more intelligent than Li Daoyan had imagined.

"Once Uncle has finalized the exchange system, we'll need to trouble Master Qiu to spread the word. Speaking of which, Hidden Sword Manor has countless famous swords. I wonder if we could offer a few as a reward for the exchange?" Bai Xuan said, looking at Qiu Linyuan.

"If the young master has any needs, Hidden Sword Manor will do its best to fulfill them. The Phoenix Cry Sword, the sword of Nie Cang, the Northern Sword Immortal who was once ranked among the top ten on the martial arts list, is located in the manor. It will be delivered to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion soon," Qiu Linyuan said hurriedly.

Li Daoyan was astonished by Bai Xuan's idea, as was Qiu Linyuan, who felt even more terrified.

Since he was old enough to understand things, this was the first time he had ever heard of anyone dealing with the Demonic Sect in this way.

However, if this method is used to harm others, the Blood Shadow Sect will undoubtedly be defeated.

The righteous sects like the Blood Shadow Cult are already good at building their reputations, and now that there are rewards, they're probably all eager to participate.

And the underworld probably can't hold back either.

After all, if you don't have the idea of ​​double-crossing, why would you be involved in the underworld?

Under pursuit by both the legitimate and criminal factions, the Blood Shadow Cult had no choice.

And such people still claim they are not intelligent.

That makes it even more terrifying.

There is no shortage of people in this world who are self-satisfied with their petty cleverness. Such people who flaunt their intelligence are not scary. However, people like Bai Xuan who say they are not smart are extremely scary.

Thinking that the person before him was the future ruler of the Northern Territory, Qiu Linyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

As for weapons, that's a minor matter.

His Hidden Sword Manor was originally a family of sword forgers, and the successive heads of the manor collected famous swords from all over the world, so Hidden Sword Manor never lacked famous swords.

As long as it's not the Hidden Sword Manor's ancestral sword techniques and forging secrets, that's fine.

"Master Qiu is so generous." Bai Xuan smiled upon hearing this. "Speaking of which, I would also like to trouble Master Qiu to make some arrangements. After Uncle Zhong finalizes the exchange system, we can let someone who appears to have no connection with Hidden Sword Manor but is actually a member of Hidden Sword Manor and is an unknown spy exchange for divine skills. It's like buying a horse's bones for a thousand pieces of gold, which is very exciting."

"Yes."

Qiu Linyuan nodded, his heart filled with even greater surprise. He was already making arrangements before even finalizing the system.

It's anyone's guess what it will be like for someone like him to return to Xuanwu and face Xu Yanheng, the little killing god of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and Xu Wenzheng, who is known as the White Jade Pillar of the Northern Frontier.

"We should issue the bounty, but we also need to hunt down Shi Yexing and Xue Qiansha. It would be fine if we left the Northern Territory, but if we play the game of hiding in the dark, the most dangerous place being the safest place, then staying in the Northern Territory will require the help of Master Qiu," Bai Xuan said.

"If he stays in the Northern Territory, he will surely die," Qiu Linyuan said confidently.

Bai Xuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied. This should be considered a success.

Qiu Linyuan was also on Bai Xuan's list of four people he needed to win over.

After all, this world is a world of high martial arts.

A powerful martial artist can fly through the air and traverse the earth, and even cleave a river with a single finger.

Great power originates from within; mortals are like ants.

Before the military formation was perfected, most people in the martial arts world did not take the imperial court seriously.

The sects are not the sects of the imperial court; on the contrary, the imperial court is the court of the sects.

Or rather, a sacred place.

Until the formation was perfected, thousands of troops and horses roamed the rivers and lakes.

Both Buddhism and Taoism suddenly became benevolent.

Even so, the forces of the martial arts world remain an extremely powerful force in this land.

As the most powerful force in the northern martial arts world, Cangjian Manor was naturally among those Bai Xuan sought to win over.

One out of four succeeded.

Next, we need to win over three people: Leng Shih-hu, the number one killing god of the Northern Territory and commander of the Seven Killings Army; Huangfu Xiong-wen, the leader of the literary world of the Northern Territory; and Xu Cheng-feng, the younger brother of the Prince of Zhenbei.

Especially Leng Shih-hu and Huangfu Xiong-wen, if either of them were missing, Bai Xuan's position as the Prince of Zhenbei would be unstable.

"Alright, even if Shi Yexing leaves alone, he will inevitably collude with the Northern families. I trouble Uncle and Uncle to spread the word that anyone who harbors or colludes with Shi Yexing can surrender and be forgiven. However, if they remain obstinate, regardless of their identity or backing, they will all be charged with treason, their families will be exterminated, and their entire clan will be wiped out," Bai Xuan said.

"It's not enough for General Duan to just release this news. It will be more effective if we release it after the young master returns and inherits the title of Prince of Zhenbei," Li Daoyan said.

"Alright, in that case, let's set off immediately and return to Xuanwu," Bai Xuan said decisively.

Everyone responded enthusiastically and went about their tasks.

Only Bai Xuan, Xu Yuhua, and Duan Baiyu remained in the original location.

"Mother, don't worry. In the end, the Blood Shadow Cult is just a weapon. Besides, the bastards who actually fought have already been killed by us. We'll go back to Xuanwu, find the mastermind behind it, and cut off the root of the problem. In this world, debts must be repaid, and those who deserve to die must die," Bai Xuan said to Duan Baiyu.

"Go back, I believe in you." Seeing Bai Xuan's composed demeanor just now, Duan Baiyu felt a little relieved. Her adopted son was even more outstanding than she had imagined.

Being the Prince of Zhenbei might not be a bad thing for him.

A strange light also appeared in Xu Yuhua's beautiful eyes. For her, finding out the real culprit who killed Xu Shi'an was important, but it was secondary. What was more important was who leaked military intelligence and betrayed the marching route, directly harming Xu Zhenlan and indirectly harming the Prince of Zhenbei.

She chose Bai Xuan, not expecting him to do anything or cause any trouble at first, but now it seems he might actually be able to help.
