Chapter 435: Transaction and Blame
The sudden evolution of the Soul-Sending Gu gave Chen Luo a new idea.
He felt that there was no need to get stuck in a deadlock many times, and it was not good to always help others in the sect. If possible, he felt that the position of the Sect Master was very good. Before, he was worried that someone would not obey, but now with the assistance of the Soul-Sending Gu, Chen Luo felt that this problem could also be solved through "discussion".
"Master Chen, do you have time?"
A voice sounded outside.
It was Zhao Qian's voice. During the five years that Chen Luo was in seclusion practicing the "Killing Seal", all the chores were handled by these two people.
To be accepted as registered disciples by the Black Robe, these two people's ability to do things is indeed outstanding. Such considerate and handy subordinates, Chen Luo plans to promote them to deputy when he becomes the Sect Master in the future. Give them two evolved Soul-Sending Gu first!
"Come in."
After putting away the Soul-Sending Gu, Chen Luo restrained his own breath and spoke to the outside of the door.
"The date for handing in the Heart Demon Stone has arrived, and the task volume has increased by 30%. More Heart Demon Paper needs to be applied for..."
Zhao Qian walked in with a pile of black paper.
These official documents are all black paper specially made by the Heart Demon Sect, with the sect's seal on them. All matters involving resource allocation must be recorded on black paper and submitted to the sect's treasury for subsequent reference.
Any large sect cannot handle all matters with just a few people's verbal descriptions.
The larger the sect, the more complicated it is.
This complicated process is a constraint.
Chen Luo did not take care of these things when he was in the Shenhu Xianmen and the Qionghua Sect. It is not that these things do not exist, but that there are another group of people in charge. His status in the Heart Demon Sect is not as good as the previous two sects, so these tedious matters naturally have to be handled by himself.
"Follow the previous process."
Chen Luo took the black paper, and his spiritual power spread, and paragraphs of text emerged.
The content was no different from the past. Chen Luo took a rough glance and returned it to Zhao Qian's hand. His mark also appeared on the black paper.
Zhao Qian, who was looking down next to him, saw this scene and his eyes flickered.
He reached out to take the black paper.
Chen Luo didn't care at first, but when he was about to hand over the black paper, an unknown brain in the external brain suddenly gave a feedback.
'Zhao Qian's reaction is different from before. '
Almost no one would care about such a subtle change, even if the leader of the Heart Demon Sect was here. No one would remember the expressions of his subordinates every time they did something, even if they occasionally noticed it once or twice, they would forget it afterwards.
But Chen Luo wouldn't.
He has many brains!
Among more than 500 brains, there are always a few with unique perspectives.
This sudden feedback made Chen Luo's hand holding the black paper stop in the air, and he looked at Zhao Qian.
Today, Zhao Qian was wearing a black suit, with his body slightly bent and his head humbly lowered, exactly the same as in his memory.
Humble and cautious.
Chen Luo looked at it several times, but didn't find anything different.
"Master Chen?"
After waiting for a while, Zhao Qian, who didn't wait for the black paper, raised his head blankly and asked in confusion.
"Why are you alone today? Where is Wang Kuan?"
"Senior Brother Wang went to Shangchuan River. There was a problem with the supply of Heart Demon Paper. Senior Brother Wang rushed there early in the morning."
He was lying!
Almost at the moment when Zhao Qian said this, more than a dozen thoughts suddenly popped up in Chen Luo's external brain. These were the brains that practiced the Heart Demon Art and were very accurate in judging emotions.
This feedback instantly aroused Chen Luo's interest.
What on earth could have deceived Zhao Qian? Could it be the black paper in his hand...
Chen Luo returned his attention to the black paper and began to carefully check the contents inside.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Luo really found different contents on it.
Handover personnel.
Chen Luo could not remember who came to collect the Heart Demon Stone from the sect every time, and which city they belonged to the Heart Demon Sect, but it was definitely not the people from the seventh city, because Chen Luo and his people were from the seventh city. In the past, the city that came to collect the Heart Demon Stone the most times was the Imperial City.
That is, the city where the leader of the Heart Demon Sect was located, but the second and third cities also had several times.
This is the profit distribution mechanism after the power reshuffle of the Heart Demon Sect. Chen Luo didn't know what kind of confrontation the upper echelons of the Heart Demon Sect had, and he didn't care. He just sat in this position and completed the task. But if someone took him as a fool to fool him, he would definitely give the other party a surprise.
"Changed people?"
Chen Luo was not sure if it was this question, so he asked casually.
The benefit of black paper is here.
There are too many links from the top to the bottom of the sect, and each link is recorded on black paper. Such a complicated procedure ensures that the intermediate process will not be replaced by one or two people.
Zhao Qian's heart tightened.
He didn't know which link had a problem this time. Every time he came here, Chen Luo would put his mark on it without even looking at it, and then handed it over to them to deal with.
Originally thought that this time would be the same as before, but I don't know what was wrong with this guy, and he suddenly cared about the handover person.
"It's the elder's man."
Zhao Qian responded immediately.
The content on the black paper is correct, and the person is also correct.
He won't start in such a simple and easy-to-make mistakes.
Even if Chen Luo went to investigate, he would not find any problems, because the number of collections by the sect did increase by three levels this time. It was no secret in the Heart Demon Sect that the Great Elder had problems with his cultivation and needed to consume a large amount of Heart Demon Stone to suppress it.
Great Elder?
Chen Luo thought for a moment and found that he did not seem to know this person. The Heart Demon Sect was very unfamiliar to him. Apart from his master Wuwei Zhenren, there was only the black robe. The three generations of sect masters in the external brain were counted separately, that is, a brain, and it was picked up in the form of a skull, not a person.
"Go down."
Since it was a change in the Heart Demon Sect, Chen Luo did not ask any more.
He raised his right hand, and his mark appeared on the black paper, the color blended, and the paper turned pure black again.
Out of caution, Chen Luo placed a newly evolved Soul Parasite Gu on it.
There was no other meaning, just caring about his subordinates.
He did not know what deal Zhao Qian and Wang Kuan had with the Great Elder. It was normal for his subordinates to have their own needs in Chen Luo's view. In the past five years, Zhao Qian and Wang Kuan have done a lot for him. Even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.
As long as they don't touch the bottom line, Chen is still easy to talk to.
There is no need for him to take it seriously if he can just raise his hand.
"Please, Master."
Seeing that Chen Luo didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Qian quickly took the black paper and turned to walk out.
Chen Luo also retracted his attention and continued to study the evolved soul-parasitic Gu...
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Riverside.
Night.
Wang Kuan, wearing a black long gown, stood by the water and waited for someone to come. When it comes to the opportunity of the Nascent Soul, he and Zhao Qian did not hesitate at all. No one wants to be trampled under someone's feet for a lifetime. When the opportunity is in front of them, some people choose to stick to their hearts, and some people choose to take a risk.
Wang Kuan and Zhao Qian are the latter.
The mark of the great elder that Chen Luo saw was real. The group of people led by the red skirt woman have deeply infiltrated the Heart Demon Sect, and they have people in the eleven cities of the Heart Demon Sect. The previous mission was issued by their people in collusion with the Second City, and the quota was raised by three levels within the authority of the elder in the Second City.
The subsequent several related links are the same, "helping a favor" within the authority.
From top to bottom, no link went wrong.
Not everyone is a traitor, but for the sake of interests. Most of the people in it are like Wang Kuan and the others. For their own interests, they "turn a blind eye" to their own links. Everyone thinks that they have only made a small mistake and will not affect the overall situation, but no one knows how much impact so many small mistakes will have on the Heart Demon Sect after being connected.
Crash
The dark big ship appeared on the river.
The hull was built by ordinary craftsmen, without any spiritual power structure. This kind of big ship can avoid the perception array of the Heart Demon Sect and the restrictions of the immortal world, and will not care about ordinary people.
In the eyes of immortal cultivators, ordinary people are ants. Even if they can steal things from the Heart Demon Sect, they can't escape the subsequent tracking. Once they are discovered, they can get the things back by flying with a sword.
"It's quite early."
A figure appeared at the bow, glanced at Wang Kuan standing on the shore, and said something in a hoarse voice.
The big ship docked, bringing a circle of ripples. The dark water surface was rippling, shaking the reflection of the moon into stars. The shadow of the giant ship covered and blocked the last bit of light.
"Where is the thing I want?"
Under the shadow of the giant ship, Wang Kuan raised his head and asked expressionlessly.
He took such a big risk just to go further.
"Two copies of Yuanying Dharma Seeds, take a look for yourself."
The person on the boat didn't waste any words, and threw out a storage bag.
Wang Kuan reached out to take it, and his spiritual sense swept over it, and a dazzling red light came out of the storage bag. After seeing the two blood-colored Yuanying inside clearly, Wang Kuan's breathing became a little heavier.
The things inside were exactly the Yuanying Dharma Seeds that he and Zhao Qian had dreamed of.
This is a unique way of advancement in the upper realm.
It was simplified from the method of transformation. Extract the ‘seeds’ from the corpse and transfer them to other people’s bodies.
These seeds can help people break through the realm, but this kind of breakthrough is not a normal means. It does not increase the life span of the breakthrougher. Even if the breakthrough is successful, it is still the bottom of the Yuanying realm. Moreover, the ‘law seeds’ are extremely rare. A complete ‘law seed’ requires 100 corpses to extract. The absorber is not guaranteed to succeed 100%, and there is a risk of death if it fails.
For disciples of large sects and cultivators with superior qualifications, the ‘law seeds’ are useless.
But for people like Wang Kuan and Zhao Qian, the law seeds are their only hope.
“No problem.”
Wang Kuan carefully took the things in his hand. Then he waved his sleeves, and ten storage bags flew out of his sleeves, and a piece of black paper flew over with it.
“Smooth.”
The figure on the boat took the storage bag, checked the amount inside, and smiled.
He didn’t expect it to be so smooth.
These people from the Heart Demon Sect were bolder than he expected.
"Be careful. This kind of ordinary merchant ship can only deceive ordinary disciples. There is a sixth-level spell in the Heart Demon Sect. Once a large number of Heart Demon Stones leave the territory, the spell will give an early warning." Wang Kuan reminded.
It will take time for him and Zhao Qian to escape.
If these people are caught before this, they will also be in a passive position.
"This is different from the content of the transaction at the beginning."
The figure on the boat was a little unhappy. The mission he received did not describe these dangers.
"Did you see that piece of black paper? That is the seal of the Seventh City's Chief Chen. If someone blocks the way, you can take out this seal. If something goes wrong, throw the blame on him." (End of this chapter)
