Chapter 219 Obtaining Information
Ugly time.

The misty silver light swept across the sky and fell on the town. Jiang Mo and Lu Jin did not return to the Lu family, but went directly to the Jianghu Inn to inquire about the news of the current Jianghu from Manager Liu.

The most important thing is that they are very likely to know the movements or location of Quan Xing.

The waiter on night duty was taking care of the scattered drinkers when he suddenly saw two people from the Trinity Gate arriving. He smartly stepped forward to greet them warmly, asked them the purpose of their visit, and then invited them upstairs to meet the shopkeeper.

"please."

"Two Taoist priests, please wait for a moment. I will go and prepare the tea."

The waiter knocked politely on the door and said, "Boss, your distinguished guest is here. It's Master Jiang from Trinity."

"Please come in quickly."

The door was pushed open by the waiter, and Jiang Mo and Lu Jin walked in. Seeing the two of them, Liu Wei quickly stood up and bowed, saying:
"I don't know how you two came to visit my humble home. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

"Boss Liu, you are joking. It is Jiang who is visiting you late at night. Please forgive me if I am bothering you."

Jiang Mo greeted them, and Liu Wei personally invited them to sit down, saying happily:
"Master Jiang, I am honored by what you said."

"Why are you two here? If I can help you, please let me know. I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing how generous and forthright he was, Jiang Mo didn't bother with any red tape and got straight to the point:

"Quan Xing has been restless recently. The entire village of a friend of my nephew was massacred, and hundreds of women and children were killed. When we heard about it, we were unhappy, so we planned to meet them and kill as many as possible. We came to the shopkeeper to ask for some relevant information."

"!"

The drunkenness on Liu Wei's face sobered up a little, and his eyes moved. Xiaozhan was well-informed and naturally knew about this matter.

"Ah, you mean Tongming Village? Zheng Zibu's hometown?"

Liu Wei sorted out his words and pondered for a moment:
"It is said that before the group of demons came to kill, the Wang and Lu families also tried to look for clues, but they did not do it so thoroughly. When I first received this news, I was also shocked."

"Later, an informant went there and told me that it was a ruin, with corpses everywhere and a strong smell of resentment. If the monks from the nearby temple hadn't gone there to perform rituals to liberate the souls of the dead, there would have been evil spirits."

The waiter came back and took the teacup handed to him. Jiang Mo took a sip, said thank you, and continued talking to Liu Wei.

"Those villagers make a living by farming and can't even practice Qi, yet they are implicated like this. Quan Xing's actions really make me unhappy. Even though I killed a lot of people back then, it's only been two years and they've revived again."

Liu Wei pointed out the key point and said, "Master Jiang, you did kill Quan Xing two years ago, but there are still some evil people hiding deep enough. After you returned to the mountains to practice meditation, they dared to show up and cause trouble, leading to the disaster today."

"Gu Qi'an?" Jiang Mo felt that the new head of Quanxing Sect was not simple, so he continued to ask:
"If it's convenient, could you tell me more about this man? I want to know where he lives now, so I can go over and kill him."

"Yes, it's him."

Liu Wei sat back in the bamboo chair, holding the wine gourd on the table, tilted his head back and took a sip, and narrated in detail:

"The original Quan Xing only had low-ranking minions left. This Gu Qi'an is quite capable. He inherited his master's teachings in his early years, and later went out to sea to practice in Japan. It's hard to say how strong he is, but his control over Quan Xing is now extremely strong."

"The original Quanxing was nothing more than a loose gathering place for scumbags who did evil things without restraint."

"Since he took over, he has been secretly developing his power. Many powerful people in the martial arts world have come to him because of his reputation. Anyone who has challenged him has ended up in a miserable state. Moreover, he is particularly bloodthirsty. He would kill the remaining Quan Xing minions at will if they offended him carelessly."

"Under his command, Quan Xing has almost recovered the vitality it had two years ago. As far as I know, there are currently four evil masters working for him, all of whom are extremely talented. In addition, he has also recruited a group of elite troops."

Jiang Mo was slightly surprised. Quan Xing's resilience was even stronger than he had imagined.

"Four evil masters? Do you know their origins?"

"Yes." Liu Wei looked solemn as he read out the names of the four people: "Yun Xuanchuan, Yu Gu, Mu Wunan, Gongsun Zhi."

"They are all old monsters in their seventies or eighties. Among them, Yun Xuanchuan and Gongsun Zhi are traitors of Tiangong Hall and Yanwu Hall respectively, while Mu Wunan is an evil cultivator from southern Xinjiang who is good at controlling insects. Yu Gumo is a casual cultivator who has been wandering around the provinces for many years. He is blind and his strength is unknown."

"With their support, Gu Qi'an's position in Quanxing is unshakable, and it is becoming more and more like a formal sect. This is exactly the most troublesome thing."

Jiang Mo, who learned of the situation, was not afraid.

Perhaps for other famous and upright sects, the so-called evil grandmaster is at the same level as their leaders and can pose a huge threat at any time, but under Jiang Mo's hands, he would probably not be able to withstand even a single move.

Liu Wei had almost sorted out the clues in his mind and told everyone a series of events that were suspected to be manipulated by Gu Qi'an.

"At the end of last month, Gao Gen, one of the thirty-six thieves, was captured by Quan Xing. I don't know what method he used to turn him into a monster. He was then driven back to his sect and killed many people. There were heavy casualties."

"Not long ago, Xu Xin and Dong Chang from the Tang Sect went to Shanghai, which is the gambling house owned by Han Suxiao as you know, and attempted to assassinate Gu Qi'an and several old Japanese devils, but failed and fled. Now the Tang Sect is stuck in a quagmire and is fighting with the Japanese devils again, with casualties on both sides."

"More and more serious things have happened in the past few days." "Hundreds of people in Tongming Village were killed by Quan Xing. After that, they went to Wang's house, and Gu Qi'an killed the three old ghosts of the Wang family and successfully snatched the soul-binding general. And there was news that Tian Jinzhong, a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, seemed to have his limbs cut off by them. When he was sent back, he was only breathing his last breath. Logically, they shouldn't have provoked Longhu Mountain like this, but they still did it. There are many doubts. I don't know what these guys are trying to do."

"Fortunately, I have enough manpower in my warehouse. Yesterday, we spotted Gu Qi'an returning to the Shanghai gambling house. He stayed at home and didn't come out. It's hard to say whether he is still there now. Chief Jiang, if you want to take action, you have to do it as soon as possible. Information lags. I can't guarantee that the devil will still be there when you go there."

Liu Wei told everything he knew, which made Jiang Mo and Lu Jin want to kill him.

In terms of the degree of harm, this generation's Quan Xing sect leader is worse than the previous two. As the leader of the sect's mortal enemy, Jiang Mo will not allow him to grow up.

"Shanghai? It's not far away."

Jiang Mo said sincerely, "Thank you, Manager Liu. Without your information, I don't know how much time it would take me to find out on my own."

"After I finish my cup of tea, it's time to go and see how powerful he is."

Liu Wei stopped talking immediately and said with a smile:
"Hey! Why are you being so polite, Master Jiang? You must be joking. With the friendship between you and me, there is no need for all these red tape. I wish you can achieve your wish, kill the Quan Xing demon, and have a safe journey."

"Come on! Let's drink to our heart's content."

Liu Wei raised the wine gourd heroically and drank first as a sign of respect, looking forward to what would happen to Quan Xing this time.

at the same time.

On the second floor of the gambling house, there were many demons in the side room. Gu Qi'an was holding an iron-colored scripture and reading it. There was a handwriting of "divine machine hundred refinements" engraved on it. He glanced at it roughly and frowned slightly:

"Didn't you bring the person back? Elder Yun."

The old man in a yellow shirt standing next to the sculpture, hunched over, explained:
"That kid and I have a great connection. Considering his sincerity, I took away his unique skill and did not forcibly harm his life."

"Well. I hope this secret manual has no fabrication or modification. Master Yun, if any of our disciples encounter obstacles during their practice in the future, you will bear all the consequences."

Gu Qian'an was too lazy to pursue the matter and just replied perfunctorily that he was not good at refining weapons and this magical machine was useless to him.

"Where is Mr. Gongsun?"

As soon as the voice fell, a fat-headed and big-eared demon rushed to speak:

"Reporting to the head of the sect, he received news that the whereabouts of the Shuangquan Hands were found at the Lu family, and he wanted to personally fetch them for you. So, you don't need to worry about it, so he went there in advance."

"Oh? Really?"

Gu Qi'an had a sneer on his face: "The speed of the four major families is fast enough. I really underestimated them in the past. The Lu, Wang, and Lu families have three unique skills."

The old man in yellow shirt was hesitant. He looked at the fat man with a suspicious look on his face and asked:
"How many people did Gongsun Zhi bring? The strength of some of the old guys in the Lu family should not be underestimated. If he gets trapped, we won't have time to save him."

"Oh, Elder Yun, look at what you said. Elder Gongsun has already made arrangements. There are more than a dozen experts following him. This time, they will definitely succeed."

The fat man said this with great confidence, his brow beaming with joy, as if he were there in person and witnessed the triumph.

"It's better this way." Elder Yun said coldly and didn't ask any more questions.

Except for the absent Gongsun Zhi, the three great masters of evil cultivation were all present, as well as more than 20 elites from various schools.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"The remaining four unique skills have not been found yet. Do you want to continue searching?"

"Yeah, we all worked non-stop, running around everywhere, and those bastards hid themselves so well that there was no news at all."

Everyone looked at Gu Qi'an, waiting for his orders.

"If I can capture the spirits and generals, and refine the magic machine, and get the double hand, it will be really good. But the Lu family is a bit tricky, and it is easy to alert the enemy."

"Let's wait and see. There's no need to chase them anymore. Make arrangements tonight and hold a soul-binding feast tomorrow to take care of all those old Japanese ghosts and foreign aliens."

Gu Qi'an was very ambitious. He tilted his head, smiled creepily, and asked the ragged old man beside him:

"Mr. Yu, you should be sure, right?"

"Of course, as long as you, the sect leader, are willing to take action and cooperate with Fellow Daoist Mu's poisonous insects, we will definitely make those foreigners become puppets and be at our mercy."

Yu Gu slowly raised his right hand, and a sticky black mist emerged. Densely packed skeletons were looming, emitting bursts of wailing. It turned out to be the unique skill - Capturing Spirits and Summoning Generals. He mastered it very quickly after seizing it. After only a few days, he could use it at will.
