at the same time.

Cangshan County, Night Watch.

"He Xiangdong of Baoyao Pavilion secretly reported to me that the town magistrate of Qingping Town was secretly harboring evil spirits and had killed the former head guard of Baoyao Hall in Qingping Town," said Lin Zhen, the head of the Night Watch. "These officials are really showing less and less respect for our Night Watch!"

below.

Immediately, a night watchman replied, "Sir, Yang Wenhua, the garrison commander of Qingping Town, is from the Yang family of the prefectural city."

"Hmph, the Yang family of Fucheng, what a fine Yang family of Fucheng, these aristocratic families are becoming more and more lawless." Lin Zhen said coldly.

"Third brother, sixth brother, you two go and investigate. If it's true, cut off Yang Wenhua's head and send it to the Yang family in the prefectural city. I want to see if this world belongs to the Divine Dynasty or to the aristocratic families," Lin Zhen said calmly.

"Yes, sir." The two Night Watchmen received the order and turned to leave the Night Watch.

And that night, in the middle of the night.

In a courtyard in the west of Qingping Town.

A figure dressed as a Night Watchman stood in the center of the courtyard.

Moonlight fell on his iron armor, revealing an exquisite black iron pattern. He spoke, "How do you Black Heaven Sect hide your tracks? Today, someone reported to the Night Watch that Yang Wenhua has been capturing children to practice evil arts."

"Who?" Several figures dressed in black emerged from the house in the courtyard, and the old man in black asked in a cold voice.

"He Xiangdong of Baoyao Pavilion!" the iron-clad night watchman replied.

"Keep a low profile for now; the Night Watch will be coming to investigate," the Iron-Clad Night Watchman advised.

"Understood, I will tell Yang Wenhua to keep an eye on it," the elder of the Black Heaven Sect said.

……

These past few days, Gu Chen has had some free time.

Gu Chen's cultivation has now reached the perfect first stage of the Innate Realm. Until he earns enough money to buy a precious medicine that can temper his skin, his cultivation can no longer improve.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

So he simply spent his days patrolling around with a few guards to pass the time, and also to see if there was any way to make money.

On this day, Gu Chen and Wei Zhong happened to be patrolling outside a medical clinic under the jurisdiction of Baoyaotang.

In a nearby alley, a servant saw this and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Then he darted out of the alley.

He passed by Gu Chen and Wei Zhong and ran straight towards the Baoyaoge Medical Clinic.

"Go on, hurry up and reincarnate!" Wei Zhong cursed in dissatisfaction.

The servant entered the clinic.

He then said, "My patriarch wishes to invite the best physician from our clinic to come and provide treatment."

Seeing the servant's anxious appearance.

The apprentice at the clinic said, "To receive treatment at your home, you must first pay a consultation fee of one tael of silver."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately took out ten taels of silver.

"If the patient is cured, there will be an additional reward."

When the apprentice at the clinic saw that this young man had just thrown out ten taels of silver, he thought to himself that this guy was rich.

They immediately went to invite the owner and physician of the clinic.

"Dr. Liu, a family wants us to come to their home for treatment and has already given them a deposit of ten taels of silver," the apprentice called out to Liu Xianzhang.

Liu Xianzhang was the owner and physician of this clinic.

When Gu Chen first arrived at Baoyaotang, Li Linfeng held a welcoming banquet for him and even toasted him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xianzhang walked out of the clinic, looked at the silver placed on the counter by the servant, and asked, "What kind of illness does your master want me to treat? I'd like to prepare accordingly."

"Both external and internal injuries," the servant replied. "The doctor can prepare some medicine to treat both external and internal injuries."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xianzhang understood and gestured for the servant to wait a moment while he went to prepare.

Seeing that the young man wanted to invite Liu Xianzhang from the clinic to come and treat him, Wei Zhong said, "Old Master, when the clinic's owner or physician comes to treat patients, we guards are usually required to accompany them to ensure the physician's safety. Would you like to come with me?"

Since Gu Chen had nothing else to do, he said, "Let's go together then."

Liu Xianzhang quickly prepared the items, had his apprentice carry the medicine box, and saw that Gu Chen and Wei Zhong were going to his home to treat him.

He said to Gu Chen, "Then I'll have to trouble Guard Gu."

"It's alright." Gu Chen waved his hand.

Upon seeing that Gu Chen and Wei Zhong were going to go with Liu Xianzhang, the servant's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

However, he remained calm and politely led the way, taking the group towards the construction area on the west side of Qingping Town.

Wei Zhong asked the servant with some doubt, "Is your master's family located in this area to the west?"

Isn't this a working-class area? When did a wealthy family settle here?

Liu Xianzhang and the apprentice also had some doubts.

"Yes, my family just moved here from another place, so it's normal that you don't know," the servant explained.

The group continued on their way, and after a short while...

We arrived at a small courtyard in the western part of the town.

The courtyard was surrounded by high walls, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

As soon as he stepped outside the courtyard gate, Gu Chen keenly sensed a cold and sinister aura.

He cultivates the Five Thunder Innate Skill, which is an extremely powerful and yang skill. In addition, he has now reached the perfection of the Flesh Refining Realm, which has enhanced his five senses and made him more sensitive to yin and evil energy.

Gu Chen frowned; this courtyard was rather strange!

The group followed the servant into the courtyard.

I just went in.

The courtyard gate was then slammed shut.

Then two men in black appeared behind the door, slammed the door shut, and blocked it.

Then two more men in black rushed out of the house and surrounded Gu Chen and the others.

Inside the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a black robe sat at a tea table, leisurely brewing tea.

"Please don't be nervous, everyone." The middle-aged man in black robes poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I called you here simply to ask you some questions."

Wei Zhong and Liu Xianzhang both had solemn expressions.

Looking at the two men in black blocking the gate, and the faint, sinister aura emanating from the two men in black and the man in black robes in the courtyard.

Clearly, this group of people are not righteous individuals.

The idea of ​​a cult popped into their minds.

This group of people may belong to a cult.

The servant went to the Baoyaoge Medical Clinic on purpose to lure them there.

"Who are you people!" Wei Zhong asked the middle-aged man in black robes in a cold voice.

They surrounded them as soon as they arrived, clearly indicating that this group had ill intentions.

The middle-aged man in black robes did not reply to Wei Zhong. Instead, he said to his men in black, "Tie them up and gag them, so as not to make too much noise and disturb the neighbors."

"Yes, envoy." In the courtyard, four men in black received the order and stepped forward towards Gu Chen and his companions.

"Surrender now, or we'll make you suffer!" a man in black threatened Gu Chen and his companions.

Then the two walked toward Wei Zhong and Gu Chen.

The two men walked toward Liu Xianzhang and the servant.

"Gentlemen, you should know that we are from Baoyao Hall," Wei Zhong said. "I don't need to elaborate on what kind of power is behind Baoyao Hall. I don't care what sect you belong to. If you mess with us, it will only bring you harm, not benefit. Please think it through."

"The envoy ordered you to be tied up. Just stand still and don't move. What nonsense are you spouting? If you say another word, I'll chop you up." Seeing Wei Zhong's threat, a man in black coldly shouted.

They immediately went up and forcibly tied up Wei Zhong.

The other person beside him also pounced on him to forcibly tie up Gu Chen.

Wei Zhong looked at the group of people in front of him, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

These people, even if they are just subordinates, actually have the strength of second-rate masters.

Not to mention the envoy they mentioned, that middle-aged man in black robes was definitely a master above the second tier.

Unexpectedly, a group of cult members broke into Qingping Town today; they're in big trouble.

Wei Zhong was ready to surrender.

His strength is only third-rate, and Gu Chen is only second-rate, so they are definitely no match for this group.

Let's compromise first and see how things go.

Of course.

boom!

With a loud bang, a figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the courtyard wall before bouncing off and landing on the ground.

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he convulsed a few times before dying.

It was the man in black who went to kidnap Gu Chen.

Before he could even get close to Gu Chen, Gu Chen kicked him away.

"You've got too much nerve," Gu Chen sneered.

"How dare you!" The sudden scene stunned the other three men in black. Then, they all drew their swords and pointed them at Gu Chen.

"You're asking for death!" The man in black who was about to tie up Wei Zhong next to Gu Chen swung his knife at Gu Chen.

"Hmph!" Gu Chen snorted coldly, not even glancing at him, and casually swung his knife.

A terrifying burst of blood and qi light erupted, cleaving him in two. Blood and internal organs instantly spilled onto the ground, creating a gruesome scene.

Some of the mucus from the internal organs splashed onto the face of the apprentice from the nearby Baoyaotang, causing him to gag uncontrollably.

"A master!" Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in black robes in the courtyard was shocked.

He gestured to his two men in black to stop.

Even second-rate experts were completely powerless against Gu Chen and were easily killed.

This Gu Chen is definitely at least a second-rate existence; he is either a first-rate expert or a super-first-rate master who is only one step away from the innate realm.

These ordinary cult members of the Black Heaven Cult are no match for Gu Chen.

Unexpectedly, the guards sent by the Baoyao Pavilion of Cangshan County to the Baoyao Hall in Qingping Town were such experts.

It seems that he may indeed have discovered this matter through secret investigation.

It was Gu Chen who reported them to the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, which led to the matter reaching the Night Watch Division.
