Pacifying

"Bang!"

The figures from Gu Jinlai fell heavily to the ground due to inertia.

The weight of several thousand kilograms caused the ground within a radius of several meters to crack instantly, with layers of stone chips flying out and being blown away by the swirling air currents.

Gu Jinlai shook off the bloodstains on his sword and looked toward a courtyard in the distance.

In the courtyard, Sha Wujin seemed to sense his gaze, his face paled, and he immediately sheathed his flying sword.

A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall.

He didn't even dare to meet Gu Jinlai face to face. He immediately used his movement Movement Method to run wildly out of the city at top speed, disappearing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jinlai, people have taken steps, but ultimately stopped.

His Movement Method are straightforward, and he excels only at launching charges on relatively barren and flat ground.

Complex terrain environments similar to cities...

He couldn't catch up with Sha Wujin.

For Spirit Transformation cultivators, almost all their strength lies in sword control techniques.

Strictly speaking, the sword control technique is an assassination method that relies on attack range to kill enemies from ten miles away.

In order to maximize the advantage of distance, every Spirit Transformation cultivator, in addition to sword control techniques, prioritizes the cultivation of movement Movement Method.

Therefore, anyone who has reached the Nascent Spirit Transformation will generally have decent Movement Method.

Gu Jinlai Sha Wujin depart, Gu Luochen rushed over from behind, saying, "Ancestor..."

"Elder Tan Qingquan was ambushed by Elder Ye Yiren of the Taihe Sword Sect, and the two perished together. Elder Sha Wujin fled Baihe City. In order to prevent Baihe City from falling into chaos without a leader, I, Gold-Robed Elder Gu Jinlai, will take charge in his place."

Without hesitation, Gu Jinlai defined the situation and said to Gu Luochen, "City of Occupy! Before Gu Chaoyang leads his army to arrive, no one is allowed to leave Baihe City."

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, Gu Luochen responded loudly.

While Gu Jinlai intended to simply brush off the matter to the Purgatory Sect, he himself went to the location of the City Lord Mansion.

The crowd surged and chaos reigned.

Upon Gu Jinlai, a Core Forming Formation stage stepped forward with a stiff upper lip and bowed, saying, "Elder Gu, this matter concerns us..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinlai suddenly accelerated.

Movement Method – dominating the world.

"Elder Gu, please forgive me..."

The man Core Forming suddenly cried out in panic, trying to turn and fly away.

But how could he possibly escape from the Gu Jinlai, which possessed the body of a great Demonic Beasts, maintained the state of the Great Sun True Demon, and had mastered martial arts to perfection?

"Bang!"

Void oscillation.

Gang Qi and True Qi erupted.

This Core Forming, was blasted to pieces by a single sword strike.

"A person with Red Name dares to swagger in front of me."

Gu Jinlai, people have leaped up to the top of the mansion tower, looking down at the surrounding area from a high vantage point.

Immediately afterwards, he locked onto several targets, charged directly into the crowd, and unleashed a bloodbath.

And those who died by his sword...

There are those Spirit Refining, those who Core Forming, and even those who Gang Condensing and Qi Refining.

This indiscriminate killing tactic, devoid of any "rule," led the guardians and deacons of the Purgatory Sect stationed in Baihe City to believe that the entire city was about to be massacred for the Gu Jinlai. They screamed in terror and fled towards the city gates.

Even some of the Purgatory Sect protectors who originally wanted to pledge allegiance to this Gold-Robed Elder from Gu Jinlai were no exception.

Half a day later, the chaotic city of Baihe appeared to have calmed down.

Although Baihe City alone has a population of over a million, when Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and ten others each carried a "Thunder" Gatling gun, occupied the highest position, creating a deterrent effect within a kilometer radius, and without hesitation opened fire, killing hundreds of people who took the opportunity to cause trouble, the entire city had no choice but to remain calm.

After all, the area had just experienced a period of turmoil, and a number of the real troublemakers had already been eliminated, leaving only the more obedient ones.

The City Lord Mansion.

Gu Jinlai listened to Gu Luochen's report with some surprise in his expression, "Baihe City, it's been occupied already?"

"It has been occupied."

Gu Luochen nodded. "As far as I know, the Purgatory Sect has been using a high-pressure policy during the time it has occupied Baihe City. There is a curfew most of the nights. So when the people realized that chaos was about to break out, they immediately hid in their homes and stayed indoors. This greatly reduced the difficulty for us to maintain order."

People from Gu Jinlai might find this somewhat surprising, but it also seems quite reasonable.

Chaos has already emerged in Star Province, forcing ordinary people to be more vigilant in order to survive.

Moreover, he carried his sword and wandered around the city for several hours, fighting his way from the east to the west.

All those who Karma heinous crimes and whose lives were filled with bloodshed became victims of his sword, dying without a complete corpse.

With the loss of these real "villains" stirring up trouble, Gu Luochen and his group, despite their small numbers, still managed to quickly quell the situation in Baihe City.

Of course, his status as Gold-Robed Elder played a crucial role in this.

The feud between Gu Jinlai and the higher-ups of the Purgatory Sect was limited to the elders. To most deacons and even protectors, Gu Jinlai was the most powerful and influential Gold-Robed Elder in the Purgatory Sect.

The same applies to the deacons and protectors, not to mention the four thousand elite troops and six thousand soldiers guarding Baihe City.

The two elders were clashing over a conflict; what right did these soldiers have to intervene?

Since these soldiers had not yet entered the city, Baihe City could not descend into chaos even if it wanted to.

"If I'm not mistaken, Xue Wuqing must have infiltrated the military camp, waiting for an opportunity to strike. I'll take Qingmei and the other four with me. You can organize the supplies in Baihe City and make a list."

Gu Jinlai.

"The Ancestor only brought five people?"

Gu Luochen was taken aback, then, seemingly realizing he might have doubted his ancestor's abilities, quickly added, "The close-in weapon system is running low on bullets..."

That's enough.

Gu Jinlai responded, carrying two close-in weapon systems, and headed straight for the camp located in the north of the city.

At this time, there was some unrest in the camp.

Xue Wuqing, the former lord of Baihe City, arrived at the camp several hours ago, mobilizing troops and generals, appearing as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, he dared not allow these four thousand elite troops and six thousand soldiers to attack the City Lord Mansion and retake Baihe City.

Because...

Gu Jinlai, the "Thunder" and "Crimson" weapons have been terrifyingly powerful killing Spirit Artifact.

With bullets raining down, the brave and fearless soldiers will fall in droves, like wheat being harvested.

To imagine using sheer numbers to overwhelm and kill other Spirit Refining who have Gu Jinlai Nascent Soul stage, or even Spirit Transformation stage, is simply wishful thinking.

Therefore, although he hid in the military camp and had many elders, protectors, and deacons who had also fled there, he only dared to stay in the camp and guard it to the death.

At the same time, they dispatched their beast tamers to request assistance from the Purgatory Sect as quickly as possible, awaiting the next step.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? My senior brother..."

Xue Wuqing sat in the camp, somewhat lost and dejected.

Thousands of elite troops surrounded him from all directions, guarding the center, yet he still felt no sense of security.

Equally anxious was Elder Zhou Yunyi, who, after surrendering to Gu Jinlai in Changjun City, could no longer survive under the suppression of City Lord Zhao Yuhua and had to retreat to Baihe.

"How could Elder Tan be defeated? His flying sword has the characteristic of 'tenacity,' so it shouldn't be easily broken... Plus, with Ye Yiren restraining him from the side, how come he still couldn't defeat Gu Jinlai?"

Zhou Yunyi looked uneasy.

"I have no idea."

Xue Wuqing was somewhat bewildered.

Tan Qingquan specifically instructed him to have others investigate the Gu Jinlai.

According to the investigation, although Gu Jinlai defeated Wuchenzi and Bai Xiang of the Cold Moon Sect in Sunset City, it was precisely because the two were unwilling to pay too high a price to fight him to the death.

At that time Gu Jinlai had already been severely injured by Wuchenzi's Shadow Sword and was on the verge of death. If Wuchenzi were to strike again, there was a high probability that he could kill Gu Jinlai with a single blow.

However, Wuchenzi was worried that his flying sword was not strong enough to break through defenses and would be torn apart by the killing Spirit Artifact in Gu Jinlai's hands, so he chose the second plan - to plunder all the resources of Sunset City.

In this operation, his senior brother Tan Qingquan's flying sword, Bai Xi, possessed two major characteristics: air-piercing and resilience.

Ye Yiren's flying sword also possesses the ability to pierce through the air, making it extremely likely to kill anyone from Gu Jinlai, not to mention that they had made numerous prior arrangements.

Gu Jinlai, it seemed as if they had known their location all along, and they went straight to the high-rise building where Tan Qingquan and Ye Yiren were, so that all the arrangements were useless and they entered into close combat.

Thinking of this, Xue Wuqing's eyes gradually focused, and then he slammed his hand on the table. "There's a traitor!"

He suddenly stood up. "Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Gu Jinlai have been able to act so decisively and rush straight to where Senior Brother Tan is."

"A mole..."

Zhou Yunyi looked at Xue Wuqing with a strange expression. "Only you, Elder Tan, and Ye Yiren knew the details of your plan. Now, Elder Tan and Ye Yiren are both dead..."

In other words, if there really is a mole, this mole can only be...

Xue Wuqing also realized that he had lost his mind.

He couldn't possibly be the mole.

So...

"Gu Jinlai, there have been special methods that allow them to accurately pinpoint the location of Spirit Transformation cultivators."

Xue Wuqing said heavily.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly said, "During the Battle of Starlight City, Gu Jinlai seemed to sense something and left the huge vortex of Starlight City early on. Although it seemed that he was only aiming to destroy the Heavenly Grass Pavilion, it was reasonable for him to leave calmly after completing his mission. But when you think about how a mysterious person had informed us of the plans of the Star Province capital beforehand..."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Could it be that he had a way to find the hidden Spirit Transformation cultivator back then, and after realizing that the people from Dragon Sparrow Manor had been lying in ambush in Starlight City, he realized that Starlight City was a powder keg, so he attacked Tiancao Pavilion as quickly as possible and then quickly withdrew?"

"This..."

Zhou Yunyi found it hard to believe.

But upon closer examination, it's highly likely.

"I also connected the matter of Star Province to the key word 'traitor'. Why are the Dragon Sparrow Manor and the Star Province Governor's Mansion so at odds? It's because they both believe that the other betrayed them!"

Xue Wuqing sneered, "Send this message to the governor's mansion immediately."

"Would they believe something without evidence?"

Zhou Yunyi asked, puzzled.

"They don't need to believe it."

Xue Wuqing glanced in the direction of Starlight City: "Just give them a direction, and let them lean towards Changjun City and Lingxiao City when choosing a target to break the deadlock."
