Xie Anzhi warned Gu Cheng to abide by the rules, but Gu Cheng never thought of abiding by his bullshit rules.
In fact, to a certain extent, Ye Zhengyang is actually a 'rule-abiding' person.
Although he secretly ostracized Cui Zijie, he kept his words secretly and never had an open relationship with Cui Zijie, the commander-in-chief.
Although he also participated in Cui Zijie's dethronement, he was only responsible for secretly providing information and holding Song Chengxun and Atulu away. He did not do it himself. No one could find out what happened to him, and there was no evidence anyway.
But Gu Cheng was too lazy to play the tricks with them.
He has been in Nanyi County even longer than he has been in Donglin County, so Gu Cheng actually has the style of doing things in Nanjiu County.
Unlike Ye Zhengyang and others who like to stab people with soft knives, Gu Cheng's style at this time can be said to be simple and crude. He stabbed people with the knife just to kill them.
"Gu Cheng! How dare you!"
Ye Zhengyang had an expression of disbelief on his face.
He had never seen such an arrogant person in his half-life spent in Jingyesi.
Blatantly killing his colleagues, confusing right and wrong, and simply not paying attention to Yasushi's rules and tacit unspoken rules.
Gu Cheng chuckled twice and did not answer, but the Blood Abyss Sword in his hand was already unsheathed!
The Qinglong martial arts was shining with green-gold light, and the indomitable sword force of Nine Phoenix Returned to the Nest came. The cold sword weapons exploded in this small box, causing Ye Zhengyang's face to hurt.
Until this moment, he didn't really believe that Gu Cheng was really so crazy and arrogant.
Ye Zhengyang's strength is far inferior to Gu Cheng's, and his martial arts cultivation is only at the peak of the seventh level. Counting the left-handed secret techniques he has practiced, he can barely reach the sixth level. This is also the position he wants to compete for the commander, but he has repeatedly failed.
One of the reasons for dissatisfaction.
At this time, facing Gu Cheng's sword, Ye Zhengyang had a thought in his heart before he took action.
Can't stop it!
The long sword was unsheathed, but Ye Zhengyang did not want to resist. Instead, he poured all his true energy into the long sword and threw it towards Gu Cheng.
And he himself suddenly took out two armored horses and put them on his legs. A burst of green wind surrounded him, causing his speed to increase sharply. He fled towards the window, trying to break it directly.
And out.
The middle-aged man in black robe also jumped up and wanted to escape, but Chen Danggui and Kou An immediately stopped him.
Ye Zhengyang saw that he was less than three feet away from the window, but he found that he could not reach the window no matter what.
Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his legs. Looking down, he didn't know when, but his legs had been pulled off by five ghosts!
A miserable howl came out. Gu Cheng's sword had pierced Ye Zhengyang's dantian, but the sword body did not penetrate it. He just used the sword's steel to completely shatter his dantian.
Gu Cheng shook his head gently. He was too weak. Ye Zhengyang's overall strength was not even as good as those low-level thugs who came to kill him in the first place.
Although those people practice low-level left-handed secret techniques, they at least have rich fighting experience.
This Ye Zhengyang has stayed in Nieyang Mansion for half his life, but judging from his appearance, he really doesn't have much experience in real life and death fighting.
Gu Cheng pinned him to the ground and said calmly: "Can you answer my question properly now?"
Ye Zhengyang endured the severe pain, his face turned gray.
He is a typical person who fights internally but is an outsider.
Previously, when the previous old commander was in office, all matters were handled by the old commander. He was only responsible for flattering others.
After Cui Zijie came, he used some internal tricks to squeeze Cui Zijie out. In fact, he could not become a great person.
Looking at Gu Cheng in front of him, Ye Zhengyang simply felt that the person in front of him was scarier than those monsters!
Enduring the severe pain, Ye Zhengyang begged bitterly: "Mr. Gu, please spare your life! I was not the one who attacked Mr. Cui Zijie. I was only responsible for providing some information."
As he spoke, Ye Zhengyang pointed to the middle-aged man in black robe and said: "He was the one who planned all this on behalf of the Yuanchen Sect, and the one who took action was also a member of the Yuanchen Sect!
Mr. Cui Zijie has no grievances against me. According to the unspoken rules of Jingyesi, our internal fighting is internal fighting, but it is also within the rules of Jingyesi. At most, I just want to isolate Mr. Cui, and I never do.
I want to take the other person’s life!
It was he who came to me on behalf of Yuan Chen, threatening and bewitching me to kill Mr. Cui, but I really had nothing to do with it!"
Seeing that Ye Zhengyang had revealed everything at once and put all the blame on him, the middle-aged man in black robe secretly cursed an idiot.
You are all from Jingyesi. Killing your colleagues is a taboo. Since Gu Cheng has already taken action, how can he let you go?
Gu Cheng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "So you seem to be innocent? Then what else do you know? Do you know why the Yuanchen faction wants to kill Master Cui?"
Ye Zhengyang shook his head and said: "I don't know much about it. They came to find me. It should be Master Cui who has touched some interests of the Yuanchen sect. I have vaguely heard about it, but I don't know what it is. I still don't know what it is.
I once tried to stop Mr. Cui, but he didn’t listen and insisted on going his own way.”
Gu Cheng nodded understandingly and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't you be useless?"
Ye Zhengyang's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted angrily: "Gu Cheng! If you don't tell me..."
Before he finished speaking, the Blood Abyss Sword had completely penetrated him.
This time Gu Cheng came here firstly to avenge Cui Zijie, and secondly to bring down Xie Anzhi.
Since Ye Zhengyang was also involved in attacking Cui Zijie, how could he be alive?
Besides, since he had already taken action, how could Gu Cheng spare his life and talk about it?
Gu Cheng turned his gaze to the middle-aged man in black robe and said calmly: "It's your turn, tell me, what is going on?"
The middle-aged man in black robe smiled miserably and said: "Gu Cheng, please kill me, do you think I am that idiot Ye Zhengyang?
You came here to avenge Cui Zijie, and he and I are both going to die here today. Since we are both going to die, why should I tell you?"
Gu Cheng admired: "You are indeed smarter than Ye Zhengyang, but do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't tell me?
You should be a member of the Yuanchen sect, and you should be practicing Qi Refining or the secret art of the Left Way. Have you ever heard of the secret art of searching for souls?
The soul-searching secret technique can read soul fragments. This thing exists in your mind. Unless you have made yourself amnesia now, I can find these things from your soul fragments.
Moreover, soul searching is divided into living soul searching and dead soul searching.
The latter is more enjoyable, but the former requires you to crush your soul alive and then search for those fragments in your soul. Have you ever tried that feeling?"
Cold sweat fell drop by drop from the forehead of the middle-aged man in black robe.
It was precisely because he had heard about the secret method of soul searching that he knew how evil and cruel this thing was, especially the soul searching of living people.
Is this guy in front of me really a member of Yasushi? He is simply worse than a demon!
Gu Cheng stretched out his finger and said calmly: "I will only give you ten breaths to consider whether you want to die quickly or in pain.
You have to think clearly that searching for souls is not like any other form of torture. Once you start it, you can't stop it.
It starts now, ten, nine..."
"I said! I said it all! I just want you to give me a happy life, Mr. Gu!"
The middle-aged man in black robe completely collapsed.
Gu Cheng slapped his hand: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now tell me, who are you and what is your position in Yuanchen Sect?"
The middle-aged man in black robe shivered and said: "In Nanping, the lower section, he is not actually a formal disciple of the Yuanchen Sect, but an outer deacon of the Yuanchen Sect. This identity is only semi-public, and only some people know it.
I am specifically responsible for dealing with some dark and shameful things within the Yuanchen Sect."
"What on earth did Mr. Cui do to make you, the Yuanchen faction, risk your life to kill a high-ranking leader of the imperial court?"
"Because Cui Zijie touched the bottom line of Yuanchen Sect!"
Duan Nanping said: "Cui Zijie insists on investigating the disappearance of Nie Yang Mansion. He has already traced it to the Jianghu people who helped us refine the soul crystal. If he continues to trace it, we will be exposed, and what he will bring out will be even more."
Duo, after I reported it to the boss, the boss personally ordered to get rid of him."
Gu Cheng frowned and said: "What do you Yuanchen sect do with refining soul crystals from raw souls? This kind of thing is taboo for practitioners. Only some extremely vicious evil spirits will do it, and even the sects of the ghost refining lineage will do it.
No one dares to do something so crazy.
Although your Yuanchen sect is not a righteous sect, it is not an evil sect either, so why are you taking such risks?"
Duan Nanping hesitated for a moment and said, "It's because the leader wants to make a deal with Xu Xiao, the Yinming Jiedushi of Yinhuo City. There is a Xuanyin fruit tree in Yinhuo City that can produce the purest Xuanyin spirit fruit.
Although the ancestor of my Yuanchen sect is not dead, he is already weakened. The leader has not yet reached the grandmaster realm of condensing energy and transforming energy, so he urgently needs the Xuanyin Spirit Fruit to break through the barrier and step into the grandmaster realm after the death of his ancestor.
."
"Yin Ming Jiedushi Xu Xiao? Who is that?"
Duan Nanping said: "It's not a human being, it's a fifth-level evil ghost that's comparable to a master. It's even just one step away from being able to wash away the ghost's resentment and become a fourth-level ghost general.
Xu Xiao was the border envoy of South Korea during the ten-nation struggle for hegemony 500 years ago. Because he was framed by Da Qian using counterintuitive tactics, the Korean king became suspicious of him and executed him. The city he was stationed in and the soldiers under his command were all killed.
Sea of fire.
Later, these people's resentment was not extinguished, and they all turned into ghosts. After the city sank underground, it turned into a ghost realm, which is the Yinhuo City.
This place is under the wasteland at the junction of Donglin County and Wucang County."
Gu Cheng was stunned when he heard this: "There is such a large ghost land in the Central Plains. Why hasn't it been wiped out by Jingyesi?"
Duan Nanping said cautiously: "As far as I know, the senior officials of Jingyesi also know about this matter, and even the previous generation of governor knew about it.
Xu Xiao had resentment in his heart, but it was not against Da Gan who had used counterintuitive tactics, but against the Korean people who had taken action against him in the past.
It is said that he should have reached some kind of tacit agreement with Jingyesi. Jingyesi will not touch him in both places, and the ghosts in Yinhuo City will not go out to hurt people. But as long as he meets the descendants of the former Korean royal family, then he
He must definitely take action and kill him.
Anyway, Yin Fire City is underground, but because of the strong Yin Fire, the ground is desolate and uninhabitable for cultivation. As long as those ghosts don’t come out, it’s not a big deal.”
