Chapter 564: Chapter 60 Newly Promoted Divine Constable

What kind of person is Gong Ziyu?

Yin Tianxia had learned from the intelligence that this man was extremely cunning, very rational, and utterly unscrupulous. Such people, unless they were extremely unlucky, could definitely live a long and comfortable life.

From the current situation, the deceased Sixth Prince of Northern Zhou did not fit this description at all. Dying in such a tragic way, could he even claim to be Gong Ziyu?

However, although Yin Tianxia knew that Gong Ziyu was not dead, she didn’t know his current whereabouts.

So, she needed Yun Wuyue to find him.

"Wuyue, find Gong Ziyu. If his conditions are not excessive, you can agree on my behalf," Yin Tianxia said.

"Yes, Master."

Yun Wuyue was not surprised by her master’s approachability this time. Although Yin Tianxia’s methods were extremely forceful, as the head of the sect, she knew well that being unyieldingly tough would only provoke countless enemies.

Yin Tianxia was a rational person. Though her past experiences had left her exceedingly cautious about certain things, this did not mean she would abandon all strategies and simply act with brute force.

Brash men in the Demon Path always ended up with unspeakable tragedies.

"Master, please tell Wuyue, which page is needed?"

A few words, carried by True Qi, quietly entered Yun Wuyue’s ears.

······························

Tianjing Six Gates.

It was still that garden deep within the Six Gates Headquarters, where a young man with closed eyes lounged in a chair, leisurely listening to soothing music.

Inside the small pavilion in the garden’s center, a mature woman in a red gauze dress plucked the strings of her instrument, and beautiful notes poured forth like mountain streams, melodious with a captivating magical power.

Bu Lengchuan approached the young man with closed eyes and whispered, "Lord Ning, there is another letter from Yu Jian Manor."

"Is that old man Xiao Qianxiu trying to play the sympathy card again?" Lord Ning said with resignation.

Ever since the last operation to encircle the Shadow Pavilion outpost, which resulted in the loss of three True Pill Realm Sword Masters, Xiao Qianxiu had been intermittently playing the sympathy card with Six Gates, asking for more support.

It had to be said that for a Divinity Realm warrior to stoop to this level was utterly shameless.

But even if he was shameless, Six Gates still had to consider his dignity.

Otherwise, a Divinity Realm warrior was already lowering himself by playing the sympathy card, and if Six Gates kept rejecting him, wouldn’t that be too disrespectful to a partner?

Thus, in recent times, Six Gates had indeed expended quite a lot.

"Read it," Lord Ning waved his hand.

The music from the pavilion had also quietly softened, distant but continuously lingering in the garden, soothing to the mind.

"Forget it, just tell me directly what Xiao Qianxiu wants. I can’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense," Lord Ning said again.

"Yes," Bu Lengchuan silently unfolded the letter and read it, then said, "Xiao Qianxiu’s words indicate he wants the Six Gates to help find a swordsman dressed in dark gold armor and wearing a dark gold mask. This person is one of the masters who previously executed the three Sword Masters of Yu Jian Manor.

Xiao Qianxiu despises him deeply and wishes the Six Gates to help capture this man alive and execute him before the tombs of the three Sword Masters to comfort their spirits in heaven."

"The masked man in dark gold armor, why didn’t Xiao Qianxiu mention this person before?"

The cold words were not from Lord Ning who was slowly sitting up, but from the mature woman who had unknowingly stopped playing the zither.

Slowly walking out of the pavilion, her previously gentle facial expression had turned ice cold, and the barely discernible deadly intention in her pupils sent chills down Bu Lengchuan’s spine.

"The Sword Masters were murdered almost four months ago, why did Xiao Qianxiu only now speak of this masked enemy?" The woman stared directly at Bu Lengchuan, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Lord Qin, I do not know," Bu Lengchuan said, forcibly suppressing his trembling body and lowering his head.

This newly appointed ’Absolute Sea God Hunter’ Qin Xihai might often appear gentle and mild in her demeanor, but once serious matters were discussed, her uncompromising nature was something all subordinates dared not slight.

Moreover, although Qin Xihai was a woman, her strength was far superior to many men, genuinely embodying the notion that women can equal or surpass men.

Previously, when Impermanence Divine Capture Meng Wuchang resigned, the Six Gates began selecting a new Divine Captor and even the Shadow King intervened.

The Shadow King, known for his superior judgment, had placed someone in Six Gates who was considered far more capable in strength and experience than others. This person also had a better reputation than Meng Wuchang, who always operated in the shadows.

Yet even such a highly-favored individual eventually succumbed to Qin Xihai in terms of strength and criminal investigation capability, nearly losing the opportunity to ascend to the position of Divine Captor.

If it weren’t for Lu Qifeng’s death in Linchuan Prefecture, that individual would not have become one of the Four Great Divine Capturers.

"Xihai, retract your murderous intent. Bu can’t endure your oppression," said Lord Ning, saving Bu Lengchuan’s shuddering form as he sat up.

At that moment, Lord Ning’s identity was also revealed.

The only person who could speak in such a commanding tone to one of the Four Great Divine Capturers, Qin Xihai, would be the leader of the Six Gates’ Four Great Divine Capturers, known as the ’Divine Captor Wu Que’ Ning Wuming.

Regrettably, the ’flawless’ Divine Captor actually had a flaw. His eyes, robbed of sight, were his greatest deficiency.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Xihai silently retracted her murderous intent and forced a smile, saying, "Lengchuan, I lost control there for a moment."

In terms of seniority, Qin Xihai was of the same generation as Bu Lengchuan’s master, Leng Kuangtu, and the idea of directing murderous intent towards a junior embarrassed the usually strict Qin Xihai.

"It is of no consequence to me," Bu Lengchuan said, slightly shaking his head.

Seeing that Qin Xihai had regained her composure, Ning Wuming said, "It appears this masked man possesses something Xiao Qianxiu desperately craves, otherwise Xiao would not have revealed this matter to us only now."

The knowledge of the three Sword Masters’ deaths, due to the Qi Sword that came out of nowhere, was only known to Xiao Qiye, Qing Yu, and Zhang Xuanji. The rest of the people from Yu Jian Manor had always been guarding outside the town and knew nothing of that battle.

Regarding the town’s inhabitants, they had all perished in the aftermath of the great battle and the strikes from the Qi Sword.

The intelligence from the Six Gates was also entirely from Xiao Qianxiu.

Subsequently, due to Xiao Qianxiu’s deliberate concealment, Six Gates only knew that three Sword Masters from Yu Jian Manor had died, and the enemy was Zhang Xuanji, the renegade from Dragon Tiger Mountain. As for the matter of the masked man, Six Gates was unaware.

After more than four months of searching, Xiao Qianxiu still had not found any trace of the masked man. Left with no choice, he finally turned to the Six Gates for help.
