Chapter 160: Branch Summons
The power of the Hell Three Swords, which can be called a crazy martial art, is also extreme, and even the people of the Ghost King Sect can't help but feel frightened.
When Qin Shuai's knife was slashed, a powerful yin and evil ghost mist suddenly erupted behind the people of the Ghost King Sect, and a piercing ghost howl sounded, Qin Shuai's eyes seemed to have a powerful ghost rushing towards him, and that yin and evil cold aura seemed to be devouring his vitality!
At that moment, Qin Shuai's hands formed a mantra, and a hazy and mysterious aura enveloped his body, resisting the evil and strange power.
The word formula, the inner lion seal, the Lord is restored, and it will not fall for a hundred catastrophes!
In the face of this similar spiritual attack, the defensive ability of the Lion Seal within the Nine Shadows Transformation Soul Decision was stronger than that of the Dugu Seal.
Moreover, Qin Shuai himself has also cultivated demonic skills, and his own spiritual power is extremely strong, and his defense ability against this power is also stronger.
It's just that when Qin Shuai blocked this blow, there was no longer the figure of the Ghost King Sect disciple in front of him, which made Qin Shuai's face suddenly gloomy.
At this time, the Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong and others from afar also hurried over and asked, "My lord, did you leave that person behind?"
Qin Shuai shook his head and said, "The other party is a powerhouse of the Eighth Turn of the Demon Venerable, and it is not easy to leave it behind in a head-on battle. And the other party also has all kinds of weird means, I was defenseless for a while, but let him escape.
By the way, the Ghost Hand King, what is the Yin Ghost Technique of the Ghost King Sect, is it really a ghost?"
Thinking of the evil scene in the ghost fog just now, even Qin Shuai couldn't tell whether that thing was a real evil ghost or not.
The Ghost Hand King shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, this Yin Ghost Secret Technique is the secret of the Ghost King Sect, and I only found some fur." According to my understanding, the yin ghosts raised by this yin ghost secret art are actually part of my own spirit. They have all reached their peak, and this yin ghost is a part of their own spirit, which has been stripped out and refined with yin and evil ghost qi day and night, and has become an invisible and qualitative ghost that can affect the spirit and kill people invisibly.
Therefore, this Yin Ghost Secret Technique can only be qualified to practice when it reaches the realm of Demon Venerable. Legend has it that after cultivating this Yin Ghost Secret Technique to the fullest, it can turn from virtual to real, and become a ghost soldier and ghost general or even a ghost king with a physical body, and his subordinates don't know whether it is true or false. ”
Qin Shuai nodded and said: "Okay, I know, hurry up and investigate, this time it's not without gains, at least we already know what these people from the Ghost King Sect want to do, and we will stare at the pharmacies in various towns and start to investigate in the future." ”
Checking the pharmacy was also Qin Shuai's whimsical decision, since the Ghost King Sect needed the five internal organs and the five attributes of herbs to refine the Yuanluo Demon Pill to heal his injuries, then if the other party had insufficient resources in his hands, he would definitely come to the pharmacy to purchase it. So in the past few days, Qin Shuai has been investigating back and forth in the pharmacies in various towns in Jianzhou City, and sure enough, he found some clues. It's just that it is enough for one person to purchase medicinal materials, so Qin Shuai only found one person this time, and the result was that he had not successfully left the other party.
At this time, Du Guangzhong said: "By the way, my lord, there is also news from the branch of the West Torture Hall in the Fangcai Domain, saying that he wants to invite you to go, it should be for the sake of the remnants of the Ghost King Sect." ”
Qin Shuai frowned and said, "Has this matter already alarmed the Yuxi Branch?"
Solve his own affairs by himself, Qin Shuai is a little reluctant to make things too big, and he still wants to drive people to Wei Hanshan. Now that this matter has alarmed the Yuxi Branch, the matter is somewhat out of Qin Shuai's control.
"You continue to search here, Lao Du, you follow me to the Yuxi Branch. ”
Now if Qin Shuai travels in the domain, he likes to take two people with him, one is the Ghost Hand King, and the other is Du Guangzhong.
When the Ghost Hand King was in the Blue Dragon Society, he helped the Heavenly Sin Helmsman to deal with some chores in the rudder, and he did even more things than the Heavenly Sin Helmsman. And Du Guangzhong is similar, in addition to being a little pedantic, he can be said to be an old qualified head catcher in the Red Devil Domain Torture Hall, and he is very familiar with this aspect, and he can also help Qin Shuai save a lot of effort.
By the time Qin Shuai came to the Yuxi Branch, the rest of the inspectors had already arrived.
The Yuxi Branch now counts Qin Shuai, with a total of six patrol envoys, except for Wei Hanshan and Jiang Taoran, the remaining three are Yingzhou Patrol Envoy Fang Hua, Linzhou Patrol Envoy Situ Xing, and Anzhou Patrol Envoy Cai Jingsheng.
Among the three of them, Cai Jingsheng and Situ Xing were the older, and they were already old men in the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall, with the cultivation of the Demon Venerable Realm, while Fang Hua was in the Demon Venerable Realm.
Seeing Qin Shuai walk in at this time, Fang Hua was the first to smile and arch his hand: "Lord Qin has set good rules in Jianzhou City, and the monthly income is envious of us." ”
Although Qin Shuai brought the forbidden thing of smuggling to the table, and there was some blatant suspicion, in fact, this kind of thing was tacitly acquiesced by the entire Red Devil Domain Torture Hall.
Anyway, now Wei Jiuduan acquiesces in this kind of behavior, as long as Wei Jiuduan is still in charge of this criminal officer for a day, no one will care about this kind of thing.
Qin Shuai waved his hand and said, "Lord Fang, don't make fun of it, your subordinates are in charge of two cities, can the income be lower than my Jianzhou City?"
Fang Hua smiled bitterly: "It can't be compared, my two cities are closest to the Izumo Empire, and some of the local martial arts forces are from the Izumo Empire, those barbarians are very irritable, and they can't afford to provoke or fight, and I'm a patrol envoy who is very aggrieved." ”
Fang Hua is complaining about his suffering here, in fact, it would be good if half of what he said was true.
The land in the domain is the center of the Red Devil Domain Torture Hall, as long as the patrol envoy does not act too pedantic like the previous generation of inspector Fang Zhengyuan, and at the same time offends his subordinates and the people in the outside world, theoretically they are relatively comfortable, and the martial arts forces under his command will respect the people of the Red Devil Domain Torture Hall at least in terms of face, and this filial piety is also a lot during the New Year's holidays.
Of course, if they want to be like Qin Shuai, they are the only ones in the acre of Jianzhou City, it is basically impossible.
At this time, Situ Xing on the side also nodded and said: "Just like Lord Fang said, our Red Demon Domain Torture Hall has become more and more difficult to manage in recent years, and the local martial arts forces are getting stronger and stronger, if we are too strong, it is easy to have problems." Lord Qin, you can use such a short time to clean up all the Jianghu forces under your command, and this method is also very admirable to our old guys. ”
The past few meetings of the inspectors of the Western Division, such as Situ Xing and Cai Jingsheng, the old men of the Western Division, naturally would not talk much to juniors like Qin Shuai, even if they were in the same position. But as Qin Shuai completely established a firm foundation in the western part of the domain, making Wei Hanshan disgraced, and planning a new order in Jianzhou City, so that the entire Jianzhou City martial arts would be subjugated to his command, if they were put on Qin Shuai's current strength and position, no one would be sure that Qin Shuai would be able to achieve this level as Qin Shuai is now. Therefore, it was not until this moment that everyone really regarded Qin Shuai as a colleague and as an existence that could be treated equally.
A few people chatted here, and then Jiang Taoran also walked in and chatted with everyone.
Wei Hanshan was the last to come.
During this time, Wei Hanshan was not doing well, and it was not counted as being punished by Wei Jiuduan in front of everyone, and Chenzhou City under his command was taken away by Wei Jiuduan to Jiang Taoran.
This is just a loss on the surface, secretly Wei Hanshan's reputation in Shangzhou City has plummeted, and the local martial arts forces think that he has completely fallen out of favor, and Wei Jiuduan likes it, and even has a posture of not taking him seriously.
During this time, Wei Hanshan didn't go to Qin Shuai's troubles, not because he didn't hold a grudge against Qin Shuai, but because the troubles in his hands were all a mess, where was the leisure to find trouble with other people?
Wei Hanshan walked into the meeting hall, without saying a word, he directly glared at Qin Shuai angrily, and snorted coldly: "Qin Shuai, your strength in Jianzhou City is too wasteful, you can't catch those demon path murderers, and as a result, it also affected my Shangzhou City, how did you become an inspector?"
This time, Wei Hanshan was really a disaster, because at the beginning, the people of the Ghost King Sect appeared in Jianzhou City, and it was Qin Shuai's pursuit that forced people in the direction of Shangzhou City, which also caused the people of the Ghost King Sect to make a move in Shangzhou City.
It's just that Qin Shuai naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing openly, he just asked coldly: "Wei Hanshan, don't forget what your identity is, even if I, the inspector, are no longer incompetent, and I have Lord Wei to reprimand you, what kind of thing are you, qualified to talk to me here?" Or do you Wei Hanshan feel that Lord Wei is already old, so he wants to replace Lord Wei to exercise the prestige of the executioner?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Situ Xing and Cai Jingsheng on the side were not very good-looking, and they also had no good impression of Wei Hanshan.
The two of them are the strongest among the patrol envoys, but they are also the oldest, and their strength has reached a period of decline, so it is basically impossible to sit in the position of the chief criminal officer.
According to the rules of the Red Demon Domain Torture Hall, once Wei Jiuduan stepped down as the chief criminal officer, either the torture hall would send the leader of the Criminal Division to take over as the chief criminal officer, or he would directly select and cultivate among the patrol envoys in the land in the domain.
It doesn't matter if the strength is not enough, the most important thing is ability and potential, after all, it is better for someone who is familiar with the situation to hold the position of the criminal officer.
Therefore, there are few eligible in the Yuxi Branch, and Wei Hanshan is one of them.
Before, when Qin Shuai didn't come, Wei Hanshan's actions were already very high-profile and arrogant, which made Situ Xing and the others a little dissatisfied, but now his words really had some meaning of Wei Jiuduan's reprimanding them, which made them quite uncomfortable to listen to.
