Chapter 560: Chapter 96 Immortal Sword_3

Sword Control Sect?

Gu Wen gazed at Chi Yu Zi, who never meddled in official matters needlessly, and said: "Business is business, pay no attention to me."

Gu Wen spoke: "Please enter."

As soon as the words were spoken, two cultivators, one old and one middle-aged, entered.

The old swordsman had white hair and eyebrows, his eyes bright, like a sharp sword.

The middle-aged man’s face seemed familiar; Gu Wen vaguely remembered him as Chi Yu Zi’s protector during the Immortal Land era.

His name was probably Hai Kun.

The two immediately noticed Chi Yu Zi, who was always somewhat self-centered, turned her head to gaze at the night scene outside the window.

She harbored grudges against the Sword Control Sect, although the main cause was with her sister, the sect did exert considerable effort back then.

If not for the bond of gratitude and upbringing, she would have long since destroyed the sect. As the True Martial Demon Cleansing Heavenly Venerate, during the sect-cleansing era hundreds of years ago, obliterating a sect was easy with her means.

Now it’s no longer feasible; the more peaceful things are, the stricter the rules become.

Bai Zechuan did not trouble himself unnecessarily but approached Gu Wen and saluted, saying: "Greetings, Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, today I am here regarding a matter of the underworld."

"The True Martial Palace has set a trap that attracted suspects for enshrining gods and ghosts everywhere, but due to their unheard-of escape method, all the arrays we deployed were hard to obstruct."

"However, we confirmed his identity, he is a Devil Clan Heavenly Pride from eight hundred years ago, named Ao Heng."

The Daoist Sect reports work without specific documents and formats, mostly oral, which perhaps is beneficial as there is no cost of comprehension.

Gu Wen raised an eyebrow and said: "Why is this long snake involved in such matters? But it doesn’t matter, continue to keep an eye out, report any new findings."

Bai Zechuan remained silent, while Chi Yu spoke: "Stupid, Daoist Sect governs the world by focusing on the big and overlooking the small, True Martial Palace and Heavenly Venerate are big, he can only act in Sword State."

"Outside Sword State, relying on one’s cultivation for fighting might work, but it won’t accomplish anything."

Bai Zechuan said: "Yuqing Heavenly Venerate can grant patrol authority, allowing this humble Daoist to wield rights in other areas."

Exercising authority in other areas, unfamiliar terms, yet the meaning is straightforward.

Gu Wen naturally understood, he stroked his chin and inexplicably chuckled inwardly.

Running and hiding everywhere, eventually, there’s no escape. Since borrowing the Daoist Sect’s authority, its disputes become unavoidable.

"Grant it, coordinating multiple parties often leads to trouble, better to have one person hold sole authority."

Chi Yu Zi spoke up, Bai Zechuan and Hai Kun were greatly surprised, involuntarily raising their heads.

They were originally worried Chi Yu Zi might obstruct, just because she didn’t cause trouble for Sword Control Sect, didn’t mean they wouldn’t find difficulties when seeking intervention.

Gu Wen said: "Then grant it to you."

"Thank you, Yuqing Heavenly Venerate."

Bai Zechuan bowed and swiftly departed with Hai Kun.

Suddenly, Gu Wen spoke: "Do you know where Chi Ling is?"

Bai Zechuan halted, turned around with a calm expression, having long anticipated Gu Wen would ask this question.

"This humble Daoist does not know the whereabouts of the master... "

Halfway through his words, Bai Zechuan’s throat convulsed, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Gu Wen’s gaze was calm, quietly waiting for Bai Zechuan.

"The master reached out and ceased contact with the sect six hundred years ago."

He answered succinctly and sincerely, the long prepared explanation was useless, only the most direct and truthful answer could soothe his inner fear.

Mortals have no room to maneuver with great powers, Bai Zechuan, a great power, is but a mortal in Gu Wen’s eyes.

"Hand over the means of contact to me."

"The artifact for contacting the master is still within the sect, it will be sent to you in a few days."

In a moment, Bai Zechuan and Hai Kun fled from the brothel, they exited the brothel, looking back at the Jade Pavilion’s faintly visible three figures, seemingly far away.

They saw the Sword Control Sect’s Saint Daughter from eight hundred years ago performing sword dances for a Daoist.

Hai Kun recalled Luo River from back then, the Heavenly Pride who appeared from nowhere, standing atop a wine building, pouring wine towards numerous old seniors.

Now, he no longer even qualifies to be looked down and humiliated by them.
