Gu Yuan was afraid that these people would follow his advice and deceive himself into being cautious, without specifying how many of them they were.
One of the deacons said quickly, "Yes, yes, we arrested a dozen strong young men yesterday and took them to the underground altar."
Another deacon suddenly interrupted and said, "Deacon Zhang, why do they arrest people every day?"
Deacon Zhang who spoke first did not hide it from the Liu family and sold it directly to the Liu family.
"They are refining iron corpses. That thing may be extremely difficult to refining."
"I came here last year. Since I arrived, they have arrested at least several thousand people, but they have never made an iron corpse."
Gu Yuan interrupted and asked, "Does the Liu family have an iron corpse?"
Deacon Zhang said firmly: "Yes, absolutely, I have seen it before."
"I just don't know where they usually keep the iron corpses. If you let me know, I will definitely go and take a look."
Perhaps thinking of Iron Corpse, a look of doubt appeared in Butler Zhang's eyes.
Because in his opinion, the strength of those young men was too low. How could they possibly know a master like Gu Yuan?
"Young hero, are you looking for those people from yesterday?"
"I'm not asking about yesterday, I'm asking about today."
"today?"
The other deacon looked up at Gu Yuan with a doubtful look in his eyes.
"Today we were called out as soon as we came on duty this morning, cough cough cough..."
The deacon blushed slightly and paused for a moment. Seeing that Gu Yuan's expression was as usual, he continued embarrassedly:
"We were called out to arrest you as soon as we came on duty."
Because Gu Yuan promised to let them go, their nervousness relaxed and they were quite cooperative with Gu Yuan's inquiries.
"No, there's nothing wrong with you. Those of us who came out to catch you have almost died."
The deacon standing next to him also laughed at himself, "Hold on, let's ensure our own safety first!"
"We want to go back, but they don't agree. We are not the Liu family. Isn't it clear that they want us to die?
Our hearts went cold at that time!”
After saying that, the deacon turned his head and looked at the others.
Two deacons immediately responded: "Hmm, the Liu family is not authentic, but I haven't heard of any young people being arrested!"
All the deacons shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.
Among them, another deacon said, "I have been on duty since last night, and until now, I have never heard of any strangers being brought back."
"I am from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Generally, any strangers brought in must be registered with the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall first."
Another deacon said: "I am the deacon of the patrol."
"I only know that today all the sound transmission jade pendants were suddenly replaced by sound transmission scrolls. I don't know what the reason for the high-level officials was."
"Yes, we all carry sound transmission scrolls with us, and the sound transmission jade pendant is still there. If we really catch someone, we will know about it."
These deacons really talked about everything they knew, and they told everything they knew.
After Gu Yuan learned that their group was the only one on this road, he kept his promise and let them go.
Then move on.
The dozen or so inner and outer sect deacons suddenly felt as if all their strength had been drained from their bodies when they saw that this evil star had just left.
They all lay on the ground as if they were dying.
Who is not afraid of death?
Before, I was extremely nervous and concentrated as much as I was nervous. Now that I had really escaped with my life, all the energy in my body was gone.
All of a sudden, I lost all my strength.
More than a dozen people were just about to take a breather and figure out how to leave the family, when they saw voices coming from far away on the road they came from.
"Don't panic, everyone, the clothes are yours!"
"It seems that the second elder Liu Yongchang is here!"
There were shouts in the distance, which made the deacons suddenly frightened again.
It's too late to run away now.
If the family members were to come over, they would find that none of the outside deacons were injured and were planning to escape.
I'm afraid being killed on the spot is their only fate.
They looked at each other and saw a tacit look in each other's eyes.
He immediately became cruel and used the sword in his hand to inflict some large and small wounds on himself.
Although it looked bloody, it was just some skin trauma.
When the second elder, Liu Yongchang, rushed over quickly, they were already so painful that they were lying on the ground not wanting to move.
The inner deacon who took the initiative to negotiate terms immediately shouted:
"Thank you, Second Elder, for saving my life. That little thief wanted to drive us all away, but when he heard that you were coming, Second Elder, he was so frightened that he ran away!"
The rest of the deacons also quickly thanked loudly on this topic!
Liu Yongchang had a gloomy face and said nothing.
The pattern of these people's wounds was obvious at first glance, and they could not be concealed from him.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter.
These deacons looked at the second elder with a hint of hatred in their eyes. If the second elder hadn't arrived so quickly, they would have run away long ago.
Behind Mr. Er Zhang were several older worshippers, dressed in various attires, including monks, Taoists, and lay people.
After it became clear that Elder Liu Yongtai died at the hands of a young man.
The second elder was not stupid enough to come to kill Gu Yuan single-handedly. He came with several offerings.
When he found the place where Liu Yongtai died, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The first thing I saw was that Liu Qinghe had his neck wiped.
Not far away was Liu Qingyuan lying motionless.
Liu Yongchang instinctively thought that Liu Qingyuan was also killed by Gu Yuan.
Looking again, there was a pile of humanoid ashes scattered next to Liu Yongtai's backpack, as well as his personal weapons.
Second Elder Liu Yongchang burst into tears and wailed and blamed himself:
"Little brother, if I hadn't stayed at home and brought the worshipers from the worship house to support you early, why would you have been killed in the wilderness by an unknown person!"
"Don't worry, brother will definitely bring that little thief to your tomb, refine him into a living iron corpse, and use his flesh and blood to pay tribute to you!"
While crying, I saw Liu Qinghe's body again.
Because Liu Qinghe's neck was wiped by Gu Yuan, the large amount of blood on his body made the grass nearby dyed red.
"Qingyuan, Qinghe, you two died so tragically, I would be willing to trade my life for yours."
"As long as you two can survive now, even if you let me die, I will be willing to do so! Wuwuwu!"
Liu Yongchang cried so sadly that the worshipers could not stand it any longer.
Two worshipers also came over to help Liu Yongchang.
"Second Elder, people cannot be resurrected after death, so you must express your condolences!"
"Yes, Second Elder, even if you die crying here today, your two nephews will not be able to survive."
"Second Elder, let them go on their way in peace. The most important thing now is to catch the little thief and avenge them!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu If my two nephews can survive, I would rather give my life to them!"
