The Purger

Gu Jinlai stayed at the banquet for half a day before returning directly.

The next day, Zhao Yushu also hurriedly arrived at Gu Jinlai's residence, and asked with some curiosity, "Senior Gu, is there something you need to entrust to the Feng family to handle?"

"Um."

Gu Jinlai at her but did not deny it. "However, right now, neither the Feng family nor your Huanglong Chamber of Commerce has much influence."

"We can cooperate with other chambers of commerce."

Zhao Yushu said, "Going it alone will never lead to anything. Cooperation is the only way to achieve mutual benefit. In the past, although the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce had considerable influence, it dared not have any deep contact with the six major chambers of commerce. Otherwise, if it was not careful, it would be swallowed up and nothing would be left. But if the Ancient Martial King can represent our Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and the Feng family, the Feng family will barely have the qualifications to compete with the six major chambers of commerce. As long as I come up with a plan that satisfies everyone, they will definitely not mind joining forces with us to make a fortune together."

Do you have this solution?

Gu Jinlai looked at her with some surprise.

"Don't forget what I studied: domestic and foreign trade, marketing and management. These are my strengths. The market and business world in this world are incomparable to ours... As long as they follow the rules, I am confident that with the six companies joining forces, we can increase the six major chambers of commerce by 30% within a year and double it within three years."

As Zhao Yushu spoke, a rare look of confidence flashed in her eyes.

Commerce is her domain.

"Thirty percent a year, double every three years..."

It has been somewhat alarming Gu Jinlai.

The Feng family is already quite large, with six major merchant guilds...

If we put it on Blue Star, it would be equivalent to one of the top three leading enterprises in the entire province.

They would be content with a 10% increase in revenue for such a behemoth each year.

By adopting Zhao Yushu's plan, their revenue can increase by 30% in one year and double in three years...

This growth would have absolutely no problem convincing the six major chambers of commerce.

"Prepare information on the six major chambers of commerce for me."

Gu Jinlai, he has spoken in a deep voice.

"Okay, I guarantee it will be delivered to you within three days."

Zhao Yushu excitedly agreed.

With a powerful backer, she seems finally able to confidently and boldly unleash her potential.

"Wait for my good news."

She said something and left in a hurry.

Watching Zhao Yushu's departing figure, Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment.

He originally helped Zhao Yushu only because they were both from Blue Star and were considered "acquaintances".

But now it seems like we might get some unexpected benefits?

You should know that he plans to cultivate the Chaos Thunder Essence Body next.

Cultivating this Cultivation Method inevitably requires a large amount of Thunder Magnetic Essence.

Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold is a material even more precious than Immortal Refined Gold, and its price is definitely over ten million taels.

To cultivate the Chaotic Thunder Essence Body, one needs to prepare at least a thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold, which is 10 billion taels.

Besides having money, he also needed channels to collect them one by one.

Otherwise, how much time and effort would it take him to do it himself?

However, if Zhao Yushu really has the ability to recruit the six major chambers of commerce in Fengyu City, his influence will be so great that it could even reach half of the Holy Dynasty.

With the Holy Dynasty's resources and foundation far surpassing those of the Heavenly Dynasty, even within only a small portion of the Holy Dynasty, gathering a thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold would not be difficult.

The next day.

Gu Jinlai leaving the house, they walked towards the Martial Arts Academy.

Yan Lie will take him to the Purifiers Department to officially join as a member of the Purifiers.

As we approached the Martial Arts Academy, a crowd surged ahead, and we could faintly hear a commotion.

I listened for a while, Gu Jinlai.

"The most glorious sacrifice is the destiny of a martial artist..."

"Defend our homeland, defend against wind and rain, defend our sacred land, defend all mankind..."

"The Holy Dynasty is me, and I am the Holy Dynasty. What joy is there in living, and what fear is there in dying!"

This is a group of energetic young people singing loudly.

The singing was passionate and inspiring, full of infectious power.

Gu Jinlai at it for a while, and a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old noticed him. She came up to him and handed Gu Jinlai a Squad Commander with a big smile.

The flag of the Holy Dynasty.

Gu Jinlai, there have been quite a few people who have distributed flags or similar items.

And...

Today doesn't seem to be a holiday.

But these young people still spontaneously gathered here, singing triumphant songs and promoting the spirit of defending the Holy Dynasty, fighting for the Holy Dynasty, and sacrificing for the Holy Dynasty.

After observing for a while, Gu Jinlai finally entered the Martial Arts Academy and went directly to the inner courtyard to join Yan Lie.

Led by Yan Lie, the two soon arrived at a cluster of buildings that were pure black and gave people a somewhat oppressive feeling.

"The Purifiers are different from the Demon Slayers. Demon Slayers often travel outside Wind and Rain City, covering a radius of thousands of miles. Some high-level and special-grade Demon Slayers will even travel three thousand miles away from the city, or even cross cities to hunt down Demonic Beasts. The Purifiers, on the other hand, are active in the city year-round, at most within a thousand miles of the city. In addition to the out-of-control individuals, your opponents also include the Demon Cultists."

Yan Lie explained the situation to Gu Jinlai: "Compared to Demonic Beasts, the out-of-control individuals and cultists are even more terrifying because they can disguise themselves. The out-of-control individuals don't indiscriminately kill all the time; they are simply completely controlled by their own desires and have fallen into the demonic path. Cultists are no different from ordinary people, except that they are constantly trying to bewitch people and split the Holy Dynasty. These people see us, the purgers who are working hard to maintain order in Fengyu City, as the court's lackeys and are extremely hostile. Once they discover us, they will try every means to kill us, therefore..."

He brought Gu Jinlai to a rather secluded courtyard.

"Every Purger will wear a Spirit Artifact that can conceal their face. Only your identity token and your superior can know your identity."

After Yan Lie finished speaking, he pushed open a door.

Inside, a man who was a little younger than him was waiting.

"You're here?"

The man said something.

"Um."

Yan Lie said, glancing at Gu Jinlai, "The person is now in your hands."

After saying that, he left and closed the door.

The man also turned his gaze to Gu Jinlai: "Although we are short of people, I still have to remind you that the Purifiers are very dangerous. We deal with the most terrifying out-of-control people and demon cultists. These opponents are much more dangerous than fighting Demonic Beasts head-on, and there is even a risk to life at any time. Under such circumstances, are you still willing to become a member of the Purifiers?"

"I do."

Gu Jinlai, he has spoken in a deep voice.

"Good."

As the man spoke, he took out a jade pendant and a... mask.

"The Purifier's Token will prevent you from being mistakenly arrested by the city guards when fighting in the city. It can also be used to request assistance from the city guards when necessary. However, we are not good at capturing demon cultists or out-of-control individuals. Ordinary city guards would just be throwing their lives away if they went up against us. This token is mainly for you to prove your identity. In addition, it has a special ability: you will receive information immediately after a hunt for out-of-control individuals or demon cultists is launched."

The man paused, then continued, "Of course, after receiving the announcement, you can choose whether or not to participate in the hunt. This is a matter of freedom and fairness."

Then, he turned his gaze to the mask. "A special Spirit Artifact, which we call the Thousand Faces. It is used for disguise and can also slightly modify a person's aura to avoid being exposed."

Gu Jinlai received the identity jade token and the Spirit Artifact mask, he vaguely guessed why the "Purgers" were short of people.

"I don't know if Yan Lie has told you this, but every Purifier needs to protect themselves. Too many Purifiers have not died on the battlefield of hunting down out-of-control people and demon cultists, but have been assassinated because their identities were exposed. Apart from your superior, me, don't tell anyone your identity. When you act, you should also give yourself a code name."

"I... I'll call myself Blue Star."

This Gu Jinlai.

The man nodded. "You can call me Black Sword."

Looking at him from Gu Jinlai, it was only then that people realized that this Black Sword had always been wearing a mask.

In other words, what he presented to himself was never his true self.

"Use your divine sense or spiritual power to activate the token. When there is information, the token will vibrate slightly, and then you can perceive and explore it through your divine sense or spiritual power."

Black Sword Path.

Based on his approach, activation has been achieved throughout history and in the Gu Jinlai.

The words "Blue Star" were engraved on the token.

After he activated the token, he quickly sensed something.

The token contains three information clusters.

He investigated one of them...

It contains a vast amount of information.

They also compiled a list of over a hundred people.

"The identity tokens of each Purger are no less valuable than a high-grade spiritual Spirit Artifact. They can resonate with a high-grade Dao artifact in Wind and Rain City. Whatever information is updated in the Dao artifact will also be displayed on the token. In addition, the information you detect with your spiritual power is actually sent from the Dao artifact."

Black Sword said calmly, "You should have seen the three orbs of light. The three orbs of light represent three lists: ordinary, dangerous, and extremely dangerous. Everyone who can be on the list is an out-of-control person or a cultist who has lived for more than a year without being eliminated. Of course, it is also possible that they died outside the city."

I 'Gu Jinlai.

There are hundreds of people on the regular and dangerous lists, and dozens on the extremely dangerous list.

And this...

It remains a target that needs to be eradicated in this city of storms, but has not yet been eradicated.

Are there really that many out-of-control individuals and cultists?

"Ordinary bounties usually target generals or martial masters, dangerous bounties include martial kings and Celestial Person, and extremely dangerous bounties are all top Celestial Person or martial kings. The top three are Saint Xiaolong, Martial Saint Hong Tianji, and Supreme Celestial Person Yi Qian! Their strength is beyond the reach of ordinary purgers. Even I would run as far away as possible if I saw them."

Black Sword explained indifferently, "However, with such a top-ranked player, even if you only provide clues, you can still receive tens of millions to hundreds of millions of contribution points as a reward. If you can take it, billions or even tens of billions of contribution points are not out of the question."

Gu Jinlai at the top three on the list.

If his Shadow-Bearing Mech were still intact and he could use his True Spirit power, he could still give it a try. But now...

Just like Black Sword said, run as far away as possible.

"Alright, now you can hunt as you see fit. I'm waiting to see how you do it."

As Black Sword spoke, he waved his hand and opened the door to see the guest out.
