After Xiaoliu’s death was handed over to Zhao Changkong.
Zhou You returned to his room, took out a piece of inspirational charm, and wrote down all the events and speculations that had happened in the past few days.
Due to the special nature of Huangzhou, basically every station has more than a dozen spiritual charms to facilitate timely communication with the Demon Slayer.
These inspirational charms were originally kept by Lu Yu, and after Zhou You arrived at his post, they were naturally handed over to him.
Tsk~
The inspirational talisman slowly began to burn.
.......
Wasteland Demon Slayer Division.
As in the past, it was deserted and deserted, without any popularity, but filled with an extremely frightening aura of bloody evil.
Ding Yuan was immersed in processing documents when he suddenly felt something in his heart.
He stood up and came to a huge map of the deserted state.
The area above that belongs to Tianshui Mansion is slowly burning.
"What happened to Tianshui Mansion?"
Ding Yuan frowned.
Soon, dense black text appeared in the area belonging to Tianshui Mansion.
After Ding Yuan finished reading, his face suddenly darkened.
After completely memorizing the contents here, he walked out of the door and walked towards the Demon Suppression Hall.
"Demon Suppressor, something happened in Tianshui Mansion." Ding Yuan walked straight into the main hall and got straight to the point.
"Tianshui Mansion? What did Zhou You say?" Yang Xiong's face was so calm that he couldn't see any changes in his emotions.
Anyway, Ding Yuan never did anything good when he came to see him, and he had long been used to it.
Ding Yuan repeated the travel report word for word.
After hearing this, Yang Xiong frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "Bai Ling Mansion... blood sacrifice... a traitor is suspected..."
"When did the water in Tianshui Mansion become so deep?"
At the end of the sentence, Yang Xiong chuckled.
"According to Zhou You's report, Bai Ling's Mansion has sent at least two blood-grudge-level weirdos. Currently, there is only one Zhenqi realm warrior in Tianshui City, Zhou You. Do we need to send more manpower?" Ding Yuan asked tentatively.
"It's just two blood grudges. I believe there shouldn't be any problem for this Qingzhou tiger." Yang Xiong was full of confidence in Zhou You.
"And it's not like you don't know what's going on in our Demon Slayer Department in Huangzhou. There have been traces of activity in the Thousand Corpse Cave in Tianlin Mansion recently, and there's even a Black Nightmare-level Corpse King."
"I will leave for Tianlin Mansion soon. The Demon Slayer Department will depend on you for the rest of the day."
When Ding Yuan heard this, he sighed helplessly.
At this moment, he was almost the only one left in the Demon Slayer Division in Huangzhou.
"How did the Shuifu deal with it that day?" Ding Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Yang Xiong pondered for a moment, and finally said softly: "Leave it to Zhou You to handle it. I believe in his ability."
"I understand." Ding Yuan nodded slightly, turned and left.
...
Tianshui City, Chu Mansion.
Zhou You looked at the words floating in the sky, already expecting it.
"We are short of manpower and unable to provide support. We hope to handle it on our own."
The Huangzhou Demon Slayer Division has a shortage of manpower even more than the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Division, so help will naturally not be excluded.
Zhou You didn't originally have this idea in his mind, he just wanted to report on the current situation in Tianshui City.
The first question before him now.
It is to find out the hidden secret of Bai Ling Mansion in Tianshui Mansion.
The existence of this nail made Wandering around feel like he had a lump in his throat and made him feel uneasy.
My keen intuition told me that this nail must exist, but it was quite hidden and it would be difficult to find it.
...
night.
After the disaster three days ago, Tianshui City temporarily implemented a curfew, and there was no one on the streets except the Xuanwu Army soldiers patrolling with torches.
Phew~
A cold wind blew through.
Blow up the paper money on the ground, as if you have entered a netherworld.
Dead silence.
deep.
dark.
"I said traveling around, why do you like to go out looking for people in the middle of the night?"
"Are you still telling me not to sleep?"
Fatty Wu Liang couldn't help mumbling.
Just as he was saying this, a piece of paper money just flew into the face of the fat Taoist priest, making him so angry that he cursed bad luck.
"What do you want to do that is shady? Do you prefer to do it during the day or at night?" Zhou You asked casually.
"Of course it's dark." Wu Liang chuckled.
No tomb robber would enter a tomb in the daytime.
"That's okay." Zhou You was speechless.
Wu Liang couldn't find the words to refute for a while.
Tianshui City is very big, so you can basically only wander around the north and east of the city.
But most of the night passed, but still nothing was gained.
"Damn fat man, your bronze compass really didn't react at all?" Zhou You frowned slightly.
Taoist Wu Liang held the compass in his hand and said disdainfully: "You can insult me, but you must not insult my compass."
"Besides, my bronze compass is not omnipotent. It has to be within a few meters of Yin Qi to respond. If it is specially designed to conceal Qi, it will be even harder to find."
"Not to mention that we only traveled to the east and north of the city, as well as the south and west of the city."
After taking refuge in the demonic forces, human traitors will have to worship the evil gods of the demonic forces. Naturally, they will be contaminated with the yin energy and death energy, and even the human body will become demonized.
"No... the south and west of the city are areas where civilians are relatively concentrated. The people there have no power at all and have no use value for the Bai Ling Mansion." Zhou You shook his head.
Being able to accurately know his existence and the marching route of the Xuanwu Army, this nail is definitely either rich or noble.
Those civilians may not have even heard of Zhou You's name, let alone specially designed to transfer him to Golden Knife Sect.
"Then we can only think of other ways. After the Bai Ling Mansion slaughtered more than 200,000 people, there has been no movement. This nail must have been dormant." Wu Liang shrugged.
This is also what Zhou You is most worried about right now.
More than 200,000 people... What exactly is the Bai Ling Mansion doing a blood sacrifice to?
There are currently no clues to follow, and this possible nail should be the last clue.
"Let's do this tonight and think of other ways tomorrow." Zhou You sighed.
"Hey, hey, I'm looking for someone for you in the middle of the night. You don't want to treat me to a midnight snack, but you want to send me away?" Taoist Wu Liang quit.
"We will be stationed then, and I will personally cook a midnight snack for you." Zhou You grinned.
Wu Liang shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it then, I don't want to know where your station is. Unscrupulous Tianzun, Taoist Master, I will withdraw first."
The fat Taoist priest has been in the world for so many years, so he naturally knows that the less he knows about certain things, the better.
Zhou You also smiled helplessly and turned around to return to Chu Mansion.
He knew in his heart that there might actually be another situation.
That was this nail. Taking advantage of the chaos of the past few days, he had already withdrawn from Tianshui City.
If so, everything he does may be in vain.
But Zhou You didn't want to give up. This was his only hope, the only hope for revenge for the more than 200,000 innocent souls who died, the hundreds of lives of the Golden Blade Sect, and the four sacrificed comrades.
Time passes bit by bit.
There were no more people on the dark street.
All that's left is paper money flying in the wind.
