Chapter 170 Return to Tianxuanmen

I was on the road for another half month.

This morning, Gu Xia saw a city in the distance.

There is a plaque hanging on the city gate, which reads "Xianfu City".

Gu Xia walked into the city and did not rush to the sect. Instead, he returned to his residence first, took a shower and changed clothes to wash away the dust from the road.

After going to a restaurant to have a big meal, he slowly walked towards Tianxuanmen.

…

Today, Tianxuan Sect outer disciple steward Yuan Yi is handling daily affairs.

His deacon handed over a discount.

Submit a letter to the "List of Loss and Loss of Outer Disciples".

Yuan Yi opened it and saw a long list of names written on it. There were dozens of them. Most of them were dead and the other half were disabled. He couldn't help but frown.

"Why did so many people die last month?"

The deacon explained: "Master Steward, you also know that the blood disaster has been serious recently.

The whole Yunzhou is not at peace, and even blood troubles appear in Xianfu City from time to time.

More than 70% of the outer disciples who died in battle were killed while fighting against the blood monsters, and a small number were killed while fighting against bandits and bandits who took advantage of the chaos. "

Yuan Yi: "Is there any movement from the imperial court?"

Deacon: "According to the official document from the government office, the emperor already knew that a bloody disaster broke out in Yunzhou, and sent 10,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 demon-killing guards to suppress it, led by the seventh prince himself."

Yuan Yi: "Isn't this news from January ago? It hasn't been published yet?"

The deacon nodded.

Yuan Yi sighed slightly: "This Dagang seems to be really in chaos."

He added: "I want to apply to the sect leader and the Elders Council for another recruitment of outer disciples in the near future. Please hand over the documents for me later."

"yes."

Yuan Yi was writing an official document. Not only did he plan to recruit outer disciples in advance, but he also wanted to expand the scale and improve the treatment. Otherwise, there would not be enough outer disciples, and no one would be willing to become an outer disciple.

I just don’t know if those guys from the Presbyterian Church will agree to this document.

After a while, the outer deacon came in again.

"Manager Yuan, someone wants to see you."

Yuan Yi: "Who? What's the matter?"

Deacon: "He said he is Gu Xia from the Zhuxie Division."

When he heard the words "Zhu Xie Si", Yuan Yi thought that he was coming to him again to recruit a group of outer disciples to be used as consumables.

Gang was a little impatient, but when he heard the last two words, Yuan Yi was confused: "Gu Xia? Didn't he die in the blood disaster in Gaoguan County three months ago?

Let him come to me. "

After a while, a young man walked into the room.

When Yuan Yi saw it, he smiled and said, "Gu Xia, are you really not dead?"

Gu Xia: "Meet Yuan Guanshi. Alas, I am just lucky enough to survive. If it weren't for some luck, I might not be able to come back.

I wonder if any of my colleagues who went with me have returned? "

Yuan Yi shook his head: "I asked Zhuxie Division and none of the disciples who went to Gaoguan County came back.

Later, people were sent to investigate and found that everyone in the county had disappeared. What happened? "

Gu Xia: "Guanshi Yuan is like this..."

He told everything about what happened in Gaoguan County. Of course, the part about himself must be whitewashed and blurred.

"In the end, Yu Zhuxie died in the battle, and the others were casually killed by the demon girl. Only Senior Brother Qian Danggui and I were left.

The witch attacked me, but fortunately, Senior Brother Qian protected me. I was only seriously injured and passed out, falling into a river.

I drifted down the river for who knows how many miles.

When I woke up, I was under a waterfall. I was covered in injuries and lost a lot of blood.

I thought it was a desperate situation, but maybe out of mercy, behind the waterfall was the cave where a senior lived.

I obtained the inheritance from my predecessors and found healing elixirs from them. It was almost two months after the injury healed, and I hurried back. "

Yuan Yi heard this: "It's not easy for you to come back alive."

However, he didn't seem surprised or suspicious, so he believed Gu Xia's words.

Gu Xia added: "Manager Yuan, I just came back today and came to visit you."

Yuan Yi: "Oh? Why don't you go to Zhuxie Division to report first?"

Gu Xia: "This... I left for a few months, and all the disciples who went with me died. I came back alone, and it is inevitable that I will be suspected of fleeing in fear of fighting..."

"Well..."

Yuan Yi understood why Gu Xia came to him first.

Then he said: "Then let me go to Zhuxie Division with you."

So, the two went to Zhuxie Division together and continued talking on the way.

Gu Xia: "Manager Yuan, our investigation in Gaoguan County revealed that a large number of members of the Origin Demon Sect have sneaked into Xianfu City. I wonder if anything has happened in the past few months?"

Yuan Yi: "Things? That's a lot. The city lord has been assassinated several times by the Origin Demon Cult.

And not only in Xianfu City, there are Origin believers wreaking havoc everywhere in Yunzhou.

They were like a spring that had been suppressed by Daqian for nearly five hundred years, and now they took advantage of the Huns' invasion to spring up.

As far as I know, no fewer than five county towns like Gaoguan County were completely wiped out, and countless villages were destroyed.

Intact cities, counties and towns are often attacked by blood demons created by those madmen. "

Gu Xia: “On my way back, I heard that many counties and towns were infested by demons, which scared the people so much that they dared not go out at night.

I didn’t expect that it was caused by the Demonic Cult. Didn’t these courts care about it?

Yuan Yi: "The imperial court said it would send troops to suppress it, but there has been no movement.

I think it was probably because the Huns were invading in the north, the demons were causing trouble in the east, and the old men and young people from the previous dynasty were rebelling in the south, so Da Qian was too busy to look around. "

Gu Xia: "I see. Is there any change inside the door?"

Yuan Yi: "Nothing has changed inside the sect.

Hmm... Heh, but Tianxuan Sect may have to change its name after a while."

"Change the name?" Gu Xia was a little curious and was about to ask.

But he saw that the Zhuxie Division was in front of him.

The two walked in, accompanied by Yuan Yi, the outer sect manager, and Gu Xia soon met Gu Wangshu, the manager of the Zhuxie Division.

"How come Manager Yuan has time to visit today? Come and sit down." Gu Wangshu quickly asked his subordinates to serve fragrant tea.

In recent months, because of the blood disaster, Zhuxie Division has consumed too many outer sect disciples, so he dared not neglect Yuan Yi.

"Nothing, I just brought back a subordinate who has been missing for several months for Manager Gu." Yuan Yi pointed to Gu Xia beside him.

"Who is he?" Gu Wangshu manages the entire Zhuxie Division, so naturally he doesn't know everyone.

Gu Xia: "Master, my name is Gu Xia. A few months ago, I went to Gaoguan County with Yu Wusi, the evil slayer, to exorcise demons."

When Yu Wusi was mentioned, Gu Wangshu instantly remembered him. After all, he was the only evil slayer under his command who had been killed in recent years.

He frowned and said, "Didn't your team die in the blood disaster?"

Gu Xia: "Master, I was seriously injured by the demon girl. Fortunately, my senior brother risked his life to protect me. I was lucky enough to survive, so I haven't returned for a long time."

Gu Wangshu: "Oh? Really? Tell me about your experience."

"Yes, sir."

Gu Xia repeated what he had just said.

At the same time, Gu Wangshu sent his subordinates to fetch the records of the evil slayer's investigation in the ruins of Gaoguan County not long ago.

He then asked some more questions.

Although the evil slayer didn't know what happened in Gaoguan County, the traces in the ruins could still restore some of the situation.

Seeing that Gu Xia's answer matched the investigation records, Gu Wangshu almost believed him.

However, Gu Wangshu also remembered that Gu Xia was the person that the Second Elder had asked to "take special care of".

This was a good opportunity to frame him.

Gu Wangshu: "Gu Xia, what you said should be true, but I still need to arrest you first! Temporarily put you in the sect prison!"
