Chapter 234: Expedition
The Yu Family promoted Gu Xia to the position of the Evil Slayer, not to curry favor with him, but to force him into a dangerous situation.
In this way, the duties of the Evil Slayer can be given to Gu Xia.
Gu Xia does not have the strength of the Evil Slayer, and he does not have any subordinates under him, so he is just a commander without troops.
Now that the blood disaster is spreading in Beifu County, even if there are sects in Zhongzhou and Xianzhou, they will not take action when the warriors of the local sects have spare strength.
The vanguard of Xingxuan Sect will be in danger if they fight against the Origin Sect.
Especially the Evil Slayer Department, which is mainly responsible for eliminating demons and defending the way.
The Yu Family clearly wants to push Gu Xia to the front and let him complete the difficult task that used to require the Evil Slayer and his subordinates to complete alone.
If it were someone else, he would either be seriously injured or killed in the front line, or disobey orders and not move forward, and finally be accused of resisting the sect by the Yu Family and thrown into the sect prison.
However, Gu Xia just sneered in his heart: "You are such a scoundrel, you only make me laugh.
However, I will repay you a hundredfold or ten thousandfold in the future."
He responded directly: "As you say, Manager Gu."
This surprised Gu Wangshu a little. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the mission of the Evil Slaying Division was to force others to do things against their will.
"Then you can withdraw. Prepare for two days and then set off for Qiyun City. Don't worry, the main force will follow you closely."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Gu Xia walked out of the room.
Gu Wangshu sneered: "You just defeated a girl from Xingxu Sea. Do you really think you have the strength to be an Evil Slaying Envoy? I'll see how you will report it to me later."
...
Two days passed quickly.
That morning, it was time to set off.
Thousands of people from Xingxuan Sect gathered in front of the gate of Xianfu City. All of them were warriors, but not all of them were Xuan practitioners.
More than 70% of these people were outer disciples. Most of them were mortals who had practiced one or two outer skills, and a few had practiced some superficial Xuan skills and opened a few acupoints.
In the secular world, they are already martial arts masters who can fight one against many and fight barehanded.
However, this strength is not taken seriously in the Xuan Xiu world. Without training, they cannot form a battle formation that can stack combat power like the Da Gan Army.
The reason why the Xing Xuan Sect's vanguard took these outer disciples was simply because they were stronger than ordinary porters and even some animals, and they had great endurance.
They are very suitable for transporting supplies and can be used as D-level cannon fodder at critical moments.
However, these outer disciples were not forced to sign up, but volunteered.
Because the outer sect manager Yuan Yi issued a notice to go to Qiyun City, where the blood disaster was serious, to eliminate blood patients, and as long as they could come back, they were allowed to choose a mysterious skill to practice in the library.
Even if it was just a lowest-level yellow-level third-grade mysterious skill, even if these outer disciples were of low talent and had already reached adulthood, there were still a large number of outer disciples who signed up.
So, under the gaze of the people in the city, the army set off.
Gu Xia was on the right wing of the formation at this moment, belonging to the first battalion of the Zhuxie Division.
There are four here, no, there should be more than three square formations.
This time, the people of Xingxuanmen will be the vanguard, and the vanguard troops gathered at the city gate today.
Among these people, the Zhuxie Division sent four Zhuxie Envoys, two men, one woman, and Gu Xia, who had just been promoted.
I saw that the other three Zhuxie Envoys were followed by a team of more than ten people, riding in an orderly manner.
Only Gu Xia was alone.
The mechanism of the Zhuxie Division is similar to the team system of various sports in the previous life. The subordinates of a Zhuxie Envoy are basically fixed, and can be borrowed occasionally.
Zhuxie Envoys like Gu Xia, who were suddenly airdropped, can't recruit subordinates at all, unless he is willing to pay a price and poach people from others.
Otherwise, he will have to wait for a few years for the new batch of disciples to graduate and join the Zhuxie Division, and then he can select a few new people.
But Gu Xia is also happy to be idle. He likes to be alone and is not good at management. Zhuxie Division is full of people from the Yu family, so it will not be worry-free to recruit them.
In fact, after learning that Gu Xia had become the Evil Slayer and was about to go to the blood disaster front, Yuan Yi intended to dispatch several outer sect deacons to help, and one of them was a head deacon who was a warrior in the Zang realm.
But Gu Xia refused, and it was indeed difficult to temporarily place people from the sect leader's faction in the Evil Slayer Division, so Yuan Yi had to give up.
Unlike the solemn atmosphere of the entire team, Gu Xia was very relaxed, walking forward without letting his horse run free, enjoying the scenery along the way.
It was like going out for a walk.
"Gu Zhuxie looks very calm, as if he could not change his face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him! He is worthy of being the first person of the new generation of Xingxuan Sect."
At this time, another Evil Slayer Yan Shijiujian smiled.
Gu Xia's reputation was not prominent in the two previous contests between the entry disciples, and it was only circulated among the entry disciples, and it was still a bad reputation of being mean and vulgar.
However, after this competition with Xingxiuhai, Gu Xia became famous in the sect.
With a third-level talent, he practices the lowest-level skills and can only be a regular disciple.
But he comprehended the flow state and defeated the two strongest geniuses in the sect one after another, and both times he defeated them with overwhelming force.
Finally, he showed unreasonable prophet-level martial arts, overwhelmed the disciples of Xingxiu Sea, and after a close encounter, he defeated the strong with the weak.
Seeing that he had such an incredible record, now everyone in Xingxuan Sect knows that there is such a person.
After all, the world of Xuanwu speaks with strength, and Gu Xia even has fans, especially those disciples with low talents, many of whom admire him.
Even several other evil-killing envoys of the Evil-killing Division had implicitly expressed in front of Gu Xia that they were willing to switch to other places.
Of course, Yan Shijiu in front of him was not really praising him.
In his heart, he was actually thinking: "Boy, you are so careless, it is easy to lose your life on the battlefield."
Yan Shijiu looked down on Gu Xia, thinking that he just defeated a few Xuanliu warriors and got the position of the evil-killing envoy by chance, unlike himself who worked hard for many years to get to this position.
Not only him, but other evil-killing envoys also thought so.
Gu Xia naturally heard the difference between praise and flattery.
But he was too lazy to argue, and even more disdainful to regret, just smiled and said: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..."
…
At the front of the queue were several people on tall horses.
Mainly the Yu family and the Ye family, because the vanguard this time was organized by the two families.
With the support of Zhongzhou Xuanxiu, the two families also sent out their elites.
The Ye family sent the fourth elder Ye Zhenxian, and the Yu family sent the fifth elder Yu Bowang.
Both of them are warriors in the Marrow Transformation Realm. Although they are not the most experienced in their respective families, they are the strongest in their families.
Because they are not in the Blood Fusion Realm, their Qi and blood will continue to weaken after the age of 30.
Yu Miao and Ye Longjian are of high seniority, but they are both over 70 years old, and their strength is no longer as good as these "youngsters" in their 40s and 50s.
Next to the two are some younger generations, most of whom are warriors in the Zang Realm, but there are two who are quite special.
They are Ye Yunfei and Yu Chen. Both families want to let the future of the family have a real experience, and then gild a layer of gold by the way.
As long as they break through the Zang Realm when they come back, they can enter the core layer of Xingxuanmen, and at least become an official at the level of the Evil Slayer and the Chief Steward.
And unlike Gu Xia, who is almost an empty position.
