Investigating

The Martial Saint.

Compared to the King of Martial Arts stage, the gap between the Martial Saint and the Saint has narrowed further.

If we use the same algorithm as the Three-Nine Ascension Ranking, ordinary Celestial Person are equivalent to the third rank, while saints are only equivalent to the second rank.

In other words, a high-level Martial Saint possesses the ability to contend with an ordinary Saint.

Although Fang Yan was transformed into a Martial Saint by refining the Essence Blood of ferocious beasts, and his potential was relatively low, as a Martial Saint, his combat power was definitely not something that any Martial King could contend with.

Even a peak Celestial Person would have little power to resist him.

"Martial Saint".

Gu Jinlai said in a heavy tone, "So, even though they joined forces with the Zhang and Bai families to kill me, and I killed them in return, in the end, not only will he not be affected at all, but I will be the one who has to bring lavish gifts to apologize? If I don't have enough power and just die there, who will speak up for me?"

Yan Lie remained silent.

Looking at Yan Lie from Gu Jinlai, one can also realize that there is no point in saying these words to Yan Lie.

Judging from the level of Karma on Yan Lie's body, he...

He is a good person.

He possesses the strength of a Martial King yet never does evil; he is a trustworthy person.

The reason he suggested that Fang Yan bring generous gifts to apologize was for his own safety.

He himself...

They should also feel ashamed of their own actions and words.

For a moment, Gu Jinlai took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.

"When I was planning to take action against the southeast outer city, I was already mentally prepared for all kinds of pressure. As you said, even if Fang Yan wanted to deal with me, he wouldn't dare to do it openly. So, as long as I act uprightly and don't give him any opportunity to make trouble, he naturally can't do anything to me."

The Way of Peace Gu Jinlai.

"But if that happens... things will be very difficult for you afterwards..."

Yan Lie sighed.

"This is the path I chose."

Gu Jinlai, people have spoken with unwavering conviction. "This is also the true self that I need and demand."

"The true self..."

"The process of every Martial King seeking his true self is not easy, and I am no exception. If I can really withstand the pressure from Martial Saint Fang Yan and stick to my beliefs, it will be easier for me to use this crisis to subdue my true self and solidify my martial will."

Gu Jinlai's eyes gleamed. "Compared to the dangers encountered by other Martial Kings in the process of condensing their martial will, the oppression of Martial Saint Fang Yan is nothing. If I really fall on this path, it will only prove that I am not qualified to seek my true self, subdue my true self, and condense my martial will. That's all."

Yan Lie looked at Gu Jinlai, whose eyes were shining, and his emotions seemed to be infected by him, becoming slightly more invigorated.

"I see."

He nodded emphatically. "I will try my best to hold off Fang Yanwusheng and prevent him from having any opportunity to target you."

"Dean Yan, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter..."

This Gu Jinlai.

But before he could finish speaking, Yan Lie interrupted him, "Don't worry, I am the head disciple of the academy. No matter how bold Fang Yan is, he wouldn't dare to attack me, so you don't need to worry about my safety."

Gu Jinlai shook his head, not insisting on dissuading him, but said, "Master, if you really want to help me, then transfer me away from the southeast outer city and to another city."

"Transfer?"

Yan Lie was taken aback, then seemed to realize something. "Fang Jianfei!"

Gu Jinlai, Fang Jianfei has been the top boss of all, and Fang Jianfei is a descendant of Fang Yan.

He had Gu Jinlai serve under him...

"It was my oversight. I'll find a way to transfer you away right away."

Yan Lie immediately agreed, "However, Fang Jianfei will most likely try to stop him... it will take some time."

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he said, "Aren't you a Purifier in the Purifier Squad? Black Sword gave you a month's leave, and now that time is up. Why don't you go to the Purifier Department? The Purifier Department is directly under the jurisdiction of the City Lord, the Academy Lord, Cao Junzhu, and the Golden Palace Lord. Even Fang Wusheng can't interfere in the Purifier Squad."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

In fact, the main reason he applied to be transferred away from the southeast outer city was that he had already eliminated all the major forces in the southeast outer city.

There may be a few who slip through the net, but those whose Karma is as Bright Red as blood will definitely not exceed the number in the palm of your hand.

In this situation, move to another city and cleanse it again. Use the purified light from the cleansing to replenish the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and Star Kingdom, then combine the three Divine Ability and integrate them into the Chaotic Starlight Body. At that time...

"Don't go to the law enforcement agency for the next few days, lest Fang Jianfei make things difficult for you."

Yan Lie paused as he spoke, "Although the Fang Family will try their best to stop it, I will do my best to get the transfer done for you within ten days. Just get through these ten days."

"I see."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

He then left Yan Lie's office and headed out of the Martial Saint Academy.

As he left, he passed by the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, students who had been admitted from various martial arts academies in Fengyu City were practicing martial arts under the guidance of their instructors.

The weakest of these people are at least at the Martial General level. After graduation, many of them will likely reach the Martial Grandmaster level.

The most outstanding among them are even able to cultivate to the Martial King level.

Only...

From the moment they were admitted to the Martial Saint Academy, top Lineage came to recruit them and sign various agreements.

The agreement stipulates that these top powers will fund their training, in exchange for their service after graduation.

Many people from ordinary backgrounds see this agreement as an opportunity to rise to prominence.

Only...

What they didn't know was that once they actually entered those top powers, their lives might not be as they imagined.

Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Jinlai went directly to the Purifiers' base.

That is, the villa where Lan Yuxian lived.

When Gu Jinlai arrived at the courtyard, they found that there was no official purge team there.

There were only a few True Person and Martial Spirit Refining who served as logistics personnel.

Gu Jinlai summoned one of them and asked, "Have all the people gone out?"

"Yes."

The man, who possessed the Spirit Refining Realm, respectfully replied, "In the past few days, the captain has been leading dozens of Purgers outside at all times and has hardly returned."

After saying that, he added, "It is said that they have found a clue about Liu Zhenyuan."

"Liu Zhenyuan!?"

Gu Jinlai quickly thought of the Bounty Board within the Purge.

Liu Zhenyuan ranks second on the danger level list.

He possesses the cultivation level of a high-ranking Celestial Person Being, is a member of the Demonic Cult, and has a bounty of up to 600 million.

Compared to him, Shang Tielong, whom Lan Yuxian had previously tried to investigate, was clearly a level below him.

Where are Captain Lan and the others now?

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"Sorry, we were unaware of this."

The man lowered his head and said.

Gu Jinlai pondering for a moment, he realized that the cultists were far more cunning than those who had lost control.

Those who are out of control sometimes lose control of their state and expose themselves, but the cultists...

Each of them is a rebel who intends to split the Holy Dynasty and try every means to undermine its stability.

To capture or kill such a being, one must indeed be extremely careful and maintain secrecy.

With that in mind, Gu Jinlai didn't insist. He went to the squad's archives and checked the records and logs of the Purifier Squad over the past month.

It has to be said that Lan Yuxian went all out to win a spot to go to the cave heaven. She worked diligently for a month, relentlessly hunting down the out-of-control people and the demon cultists.

The total number exceeds twenty.

The total reward amount has reached 600 million.

Of course, her frenzied arrests of out-of-control individuals and cultists also provoked a strong backlash from them.

In one month, three of the official purgers and six of the planned purgers were lost, almost half of the number of the cultists they were hunting down.

Not to mention those who are injured.

This loss caused the Purge team to complain bitterly.

However, Lan Yuxian was determined to snatch the spot to go to the cave for cultivation from Lan Yuhua, and she didn't care at all about the pressure on the team members.

For the past three days, in order to track down Liu Zhenyuan's whereabouts, the entire team worked tirelessly without sleep or rest.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off, and they managed to find some clues.

"Liu Zhenyuan, that's the leading figure among the Demonic Cult."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

This can be seen from the fact that this high-level Celestial Person being has a bounty of 600 million.

"So busy... I guess I came at the wrong time."

From Gu Jinlai the present, people put down the documents in their hands, left the document room, and were about to leave this courtyard.

But at that moment, two figures hurried over.

One of them was Black Sword, and the other was another official member of the Purifiers team, named Zhong Ti.

" From Gu Jinlai present? You've arrived? Yes! It's been a month."

Black Sword spotted Gu Jinlai immediately and greeted him, saying, "Where's the physician? Come quickly and treat him."

"Captain Black Sword, King Zhong Wu... he was injured while chasing the Demon Cultists?"

"This..."

Black Sword's expression was somewhat strange. "I suppose so."

"Does it count?"

It's strange, both in Gu Jinlai.

"Lan Yuxian, she has gone mad."

At this moment, Zhong Ti seemed to regain some consciousness and gritted his teeth.

"King Zhong Wu, you must not speak nonsense and disturb people's hearts."

Black Sword sternly addressed Zhong Ti, then said to one of the prepared purgers in charge of logistics, "Take King Zhong Wu away to rest."

"Yes."

Those preparing to purge dared not ask further questions and quickly left with Zhong Ti.

Gu Jinlai guessed something from his reaction and looked at the black sword, asking, "Was he injured by Captain Lan?"

Black Sword sighed, "Yes."

"Um!?"

This has surprised many Gu Jinlai.

Is she really Lan Yuxian?

Injure your own teammate?

However, he immediately recalled the scene from a month ago when Lan Yuxian ordered him to act as bait to lure Shang Tielong out, and how she acted without hesitation just because he had argued with her...

Miss Lan, who comes from the top-tier Lan Lineage, doesn't really take them, these peasants who follow the path of demon god warriors, seriously.

"She's under too much pressure right now..."

Black Sword glanced at Gu Jinlai: "Even if you hadn't come, I would have had to find you. We're short-handed right now. Now that you're here, come with us to track down the Demon Cultist Liu Zhenyuan."
