The reaction of the zombie clan was somewhat beyond Gu Cheng's expectations.
Would you rather half of your tribe self-destruct than surrender?
Buddha's light bloomed all over Gu Cheng, and the self-destruction caused by the external formations of those zombie masters was like scratching an itch, causing no harm to Gu Cheng.
At this time, Hong Dingshan from behind had already brought people to kill him. He punched down, and the power of Gangqi was poured into the front and exploded instantly, blasting more than ten people from the corpse clan into pieces.
He directly killed only five people, then captured them one by one, removed their limbs and joints with great ease, blocked the power in their bodies, and tore off their robes.
Shaking out a lot of messy formations, poisons, daggers, weapons and so on.
Hong Dingshan said: "Master Gu, don't even think about capturing the zombie clan members on a large scale.
These people are like dead soldiers, and they will never reveal their financial backers.
For the Zombie Clan, being a killer is their only way to make a living, so even though they are extremely ferocious and dare to do anything, they will not tarnish their reputation in this kind of thing.
If even this reputation is ruined, then the corpse-causing clan will have no effect at all on Xijiang.
So in order to ensure the survival of the tribe, even if you kill them to the last person, they won't say anything."
With that said, Hong Dingshan threw the five subdued people to Gu Cheng and said: "Master Gu, if you don't believe it, you can try it. It's basically useless."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I believe in people who are afraid of death, but there are things more terrifying than death in this world."
As he said that, Gu Cheng looked at the person who fucked the corpse clan.
These cultivators of the Corpse Control Clan do not look like Central Plains people at first glance. Their skin is sickly pale, their eye sockets are sunken, and their bodies are all thin and thin, like mummies.
The most important thing is their eyes, the pupils are actually glowing with scarlet color.
"Can you understand the Chinese dialect?"
Those members of the corpse clan looked at Gu Cheng indifferently with scarlet eyes, without saying a word.
Hong Dingshan said from the side: "They are often active inside and outside Western Xinjiang. They also interact with many people from the Central Plains martial arts community. Of course they can understand the Central Plains dialect."
Gu Cheng immediately waved his hand, and the head of one of the corpse masters was instantly twisted off by the five ghosts. Blood splashed on the faces of the others, but they seemed not to notice.
"You understand and you still pretend to be dumb with me?"
Gu Cheng would not show any mercy when dealing with this group of professional assassins.
However, these guys seem to be as hard-core as Hong Dingshan said. They are not even afraid of death. What else would they be afraid of?
At this time, Gu Cheng sent a message to Zuo Yunzhi who was in the scabbard: "Master Zuo, do me a favor. Your Luo sect must have the secret method of torture and extorting confessions. You don't have the memory of such low-level things, right?"
?Contribute one and lend it to me.”
Zuo Yunzhi suddenly became unhappy: "What do you think of me? Besides, do you think that in my capacity you need to torture me personally to extract a confession?"
Gu Cheng said: "Leader Zuo, you must never forget your roots. As far as I know, you rose from the lowest level of the Luo Jiao. You know all kinds of low-level illusions and deceptions in the Luo Jiao. Now you tell me that you
Don’t you know these torture methods?”
Zuo Yunzhi was speechless by Gu Cheng, so he could only curse and teach Gu Cheng a few simple torture secrets.
He still needs to rely on Gu Cheng to find another soul, and it is not easy to offend Gu Cheng at this time.
Gu Cheng walked up to a zombie master, forced out a drop of blood between his fingers, and said calmly: "This is my blood. You should know how strong the Qi and blood of a fourth-grade Wanghai Realm expert is.
Now I will pour this drop of blood into your body. When the time comes, this drop of blood will turn into thousands of tiny blood molecules under the control of my power, oppressing your original energy and blood until they are all squeezed out.
Out of body.
This punishment is so painful that Luo Jiao calls it the blood bird, which means the bird occupies the dove's nest.
You have three breaths of time to choose, it’s not too late now.”
The corpse fucker just looked at Gu Cheng with indifferent eyes. The next moment, Gu Cheng directly poured the drop of blood into the corpse fucker's body, and the blood instantly differentiated and expanded.
The body of the zombie clan suddenly swelled up, and it let out a shrill scream. Blood seeped out of the body drop by drop, making people's scalp numb.
How strong is a fourth-level warrior? A drop of Gu Cheng's blood is enough to burst his whole body.
In the end, the other party swelled from a thin mummy into a blood ball, but he didn't say a word.
Gu Cheng waved his hand to take back the drop of blood and frowned.
Hong Dingshan shook his head and said: "It's useless. We have captured people from the Corpse Control Clan before and used various secret techniques to interrogate them, but we were unable to pry a word out of their mouths.
It is said that when these guys made the corpse puppets, their spirits really entered the land of underworld, so they were tempered by the water of underworld and are extremely tough and will not be afraid of any pain."
Gu Cheng wiped his hands and said calmly: "Then kill them all and go directly to Xijiang.
No matter who sent them here, if they dare to reach out again, they will definitely show their flaws.
By the way, take all their heads."
After cleaning up the scene, Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan did not continue the investigation.
However, one thing is certain for Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan. Regardless of whether the person taking action is targeting Hong Dingshan or Gu Cheng, this group of corpse masters can actually bypass the imperial court's defense line in Western Xinjiang. It must be the imperial court.
Bian's own people took action.
After a night of vigilance, Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan set off directly for Yunzhong City, the core area of Xijiang.
The Western Xinjiang region is unique, so there are no prefectures or prefectures. The vast Western Xinjiang region only has roughly three directions and some sporadic major cities built on oases, of which three cities are the most important.
One is Tianya City, which is close to the southern part of Western Xinjiang. It is backed by a natural moat on the plateau. Across the plateau is the southwest, so there is no need to garrison too many troops for defense.
One is Mingyue City, which is close to the northern part of Western Xinjiang. Across the desert is the base of the Northland barbarians. These small tribes in Western Xinjiang are still in conflict with the Northland barbarians, so the court does not have to worry about anything.
The most important of the three cities is the central part of Western Xinjiang, Yunzhong City, which faces the foreign races in Western Xinjiang.
The nearly a thousand miles surrounding area is the Western Xinjiang defense line, and three armies are stationed here.
In the past, the Shaowu Army from Hongding Mountain was also stationed here.
At the end of the world, in the bright moon, in the clouds, Gu Cheng secretly thought that the people who named Xijiang in the past were quite poetic.
When he came closer to Yunzhong City, Gu Cheng realized that this was actually a magnificent city that was not inferior to the capital city.
There are sand dunes everywhere along the way, but the cloud city is surrounded by green trees and flowing water, making it feel like a paradise.
Earth-yellow boulders piled up a huge city wall more than thirty feet high. Even after five hundred years of wind and sand, it is still strong.
When Gu Cheng arrived at the gate of Yunzhong City, a large number of people were already waiting to greet them at the gate.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing Jingyesi Xuanjia with a kind face.
There are some Jianghu people beside him, they should be the leaders of the big factions in Western Xinjiang.
Three generals from the military came to greet him personally.
Behind these people, Gu Cheng also saw a middle-aged man with a bloated figure and a gloomy face wearing a purple python robe, staring at him closely with undisguised hostility in his eyes.
Hong Dingshan had already introduced these people to Gu Cheng before Gu Cheng came.
The person in charge of Jingyesi is Li Yuanqing, the envoy to the central part of Western Xinjiang. He was born in Western Xinjiang and still has one-fifth of the alien blood in his body, so it is very smooth to deal with the foreigners in Western Xinjiang. He is smooth and can get along with him wherever he goes.
.
The three generals were General Yang Shiqi of the Shaowu Army who took over the position of Hong Dingshan, General Wuying of the Tianyu Army, and General Deng Sanbao of the Tiger Hunting Army.
The central part of Western Xinjiang is the most important, so the imperial court directly sent three generals to guard it.
As for the fat man who looked at Gu Cheng with a fierce look, he was Li Kuan, the king of Xiling, the posthumous son of the former prince, and the prince who cuckolded Hong Dingshan.
At the same time, Governor Hong who was killed by Gu Cheng was his illegitimate son.
In fact, Gu Cheng had doubted before that whether the assassination of the corpse clan yesterday was the work of the other party, and he also hinted it to Hong Dingshan.
After all, this man once cuckolded Hong Dingshan. In order not to irritate the general, Gu Cheng said it more tactfully.
But Hong Dingshan was really an honest man, and he directly said it was impossible.
Although Li Kuan seems stupid, he also has brains. Otherwise, as the posthumous son of the former prince, Li Yuangong would kill him if he dared to make even the slightest move.
Even he himself did not dare to give birth to an heir. He did not dare to admit that Bai Ziwei gave birth to Governor Hong. When he died, Governor Hong thought that his surname was Hong.
Such a tolerant guy would not be able to do such a blatant thing.
He sent people to assassinate Gu Cheng as soon as he arrived in Western Xinjiang. He was too eager and too explicit. This was definitely not Li Kuan's style.
Although Hong Dingshan knew that if he also suspected Li Kuan, Gu Cheng would definitely go to the Xiling King to cause trouble.
Although he also wanted to take off his cuckold, he really couldn't do such a thing of secretly poking and borrowing money to kill someone.
At this time, Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan were both thinking secretly, and Li Yuanqing stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "I have been waiting for Master Gu and General Hong for a long time. You two are tired from traveling and traveling, so please go to the city to rest.
Come on, the banquet has been prepared.
These three generals must be known to both of you, so I won't introduce them further. This is His Highness the King of Xiling.
These few are also the heads of our Western Xinjiang Martial Arts Sect, and they usually have very good relations with the court, so today I came here specifically to see these two adults."
The few people from the Western Xinjiang martial arts sect also nodded gently to Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan. Although their attitudes were not enthusiastic, they were not bad either.
Only Li Kuan snorted heavily, with no trace of disgust or murderous intent on his face.
