Chapter 365: I didn't disappoint Dou, the situation really got out of control
Zhao Tingzhi disappeared again.
This was the news obtained on the third day after Dou Changsheng gave the order.
Dou Changsheng was not too anxious to pull the Inner Demon King out of the imperial capital. Instead, he trusted the matter and handed it over to professionals to solve. Zhao Tingzhi came forward and began to investigate, and finally locked on the Inner Demon King, and then he would take action to catch him in one fell swoop.
In Dou Changsheng's opinion, this is not a sure thing, but at least there is a very high probability.
Zhao Tingzhi was entrusted with an important task and was believed to be able to establish Qigong.
I didn't expect that after only two days, the third day gave me a big surprise.
Zhao Tingzhi, who had the support of the imperial court and could mobilize countless powerful men from the Six Gates of the imperial capital, successfully disappeared again.
This made Dou Changsheng feel surprised, astonished, shocked, and unbelievable, and all kinds of emotions emerged one by one.
This person had learned from the previous incident, but he did not learn any lesson and still did such a stupid thing. If it were me, as the master of the Six Gates, I would definitely bring three or five strong men with me when traveling.
Among them, there must be at least one at the Heavenly Man Realm, and the rest must be at least Yuanshen Realm masters. They must be equipped with first-grade magic weapons. Not everyone can have a first-grade magic weapon, but at least two people must have one. In this way, including Zhao Tingzhi himself, there are a total of four people in the Heavenly Man Realm with combat power.
With such a powerful lineup, we cannot say that we can eliminate the enemy, but at least we can save our lives and buy ourselves some time while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
This is still a conservative estimate. If Zhao Tingzhi becomes more obsessed, his combat power can be increased. No matter how you look at it, the chance of disappearance is very low. But the reality is so magical that this thing happened.
Dou Changsheng sighed, looked at Wu Junyi who was hurriedly delivering the message to him, and finally asked, "Who do you think is the best person to entrust this matter to?"
Wu Junyi pondered for a moment before speaking: "Lord Zhao is already the master of the Six Gates, and he is quite powerful. To be able to make Lord Zhao disappear so quickly, one can imagine how powerful the enemy is. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to do that."
"In my opinion, only Lord Xiao is suitable."
This Lord Xiao is King Xiao.
Now that Zhao Tingzhi is missing, an ordinary celestial being would naturally not be able to help.
There are only people who are stronger than ordinary people in the Heaven and Man Realm, and Xiao Wangzhi, who possesses the semi-immortal weapon, the Innate Invisible Sword, is a very suitable candidate.
Dou Changsheng thought about it and felt that this person was not suitable.
King Xiao was also busy. Although the whole world was horrified after the elimination of Overlord Valley, countless ambitious people disappeared in an instant. But that was only an appearance. They just hid deeper and did not rebel openly, but began to seize power secretly.
As long as they don't rebel openly, you can't tell whether they have evil intentions.
After all, fighting for power, taking bribes, bribing superiors, and seeking official positions are all basic practices. Everyone does this, and you cannot tell whether this person is loyal or treacherous.
You know, even though many people fight for power and do all kinds of bad things, they really have no intention of rebelling.
King Xiao is currently suppressing those people with ulterior motives. To be frank, most of the power of the court is now being used on this. Of course, the most important thing is that this is one's own mission and one must also feel involved.
Now Zhao Tingzhi is missing, but this tactic of throwing a stone to test the waters was very successful. The disappearance of a celestial being must have left clues. As long as we start investigating along the clues, we can dig out the inner demon king.
Dou Changsheng had originally planned to wait a little longer, but now it seemed that he could not wait any longer, so he said to Wu Junyi: "You lead the way yourself, and we will go to the place where Zhao Tingzhi disappeared."
Wu Junyi responded and led the way himself. Dou Changsheng did not go alone with Wu Junyi. After knowing the danger, he of course brought everyone with him, including the Laughing Monk and the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord.
Dou Changsheng has the Emperor's Sword hanging around his waist, and the Vajra Pestle is also wrapped in red cloth and placed in a treasure box, carried by Wu Junyi. When it comes to the critical moment, he can not only call on the power of Emperor Taizu, but also use the Emperor's Sword to let Monk Xiao use the Vajra Pestle.
With such a lineup, Dou Changsheng didn't believe anything would go wrong.
It can be said that for the safety of one's life, one is armed to the teeth.
The Thousand-Handed Evil Lord, who had left quickly, appeared again. This time he looked at Dou Changsheng with eyes full of displeasure.
After all, being summoned again and again in a short period of time would make anyone unhappy, especially since the identity of Thousand-Handed Evil Lord is extraordinary. Now he is just expressing his dissatisfaction towards Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng simply pretended not to see the result.
The group soon arrived at the south of the imperial capital. Dou Changsheng looked at the area south of the city, which was considered a slum.
The north of the imperial capital is rich and the south is poor. A large number of wealthy people gather in the north of the city, while the south is mostly inhabited by civilians. Although this is the imperial capital, not everyone is rich. No matter what time it is, the poor still account for the majority.
These people are local residents of the imperial capital and own their own properties, which allows them to survive, but there are also many outsiders who gather together to form slums.
This slum is where most outsiders end up. Once they earn money, they will move out on their own initiative.
But the dream of living in the imperial capital is doomed to be in vain. After arriving in this slum, 99% of people will find it impossible to get out.
Dou Changsheng had never been to this place. This was his first time in the imperial capital, so he went to the most prosperous place. Not to mention the south of the city, even the north of the city was not up to standard.
This is just a place for ordinary people. The real powerful people gather in the east and west of the city.
The people there are either rich or noble, including big businessmen, top three warriors, princes and nobles, and high-ranking officials from aristocratic families.
The inner demon began to corrode people's hearts and control some people. These outsiders were most suitable, no matter when. The poor people in the slums were the easiest targets, as they were easily deceived by a vague hope.
Even if they died, it would not have any impact. Unlike the locals of the imperial capital, they have many relatives. If something really happened, they would definitely make a fuss and attract the attention of the government.
Therefore, this is also the place in the imperial capital with the worst public security and the most frequent murders.
Wu Junyi quickly led everyone to an alley. There were now six policemen guarding outside the alley. There were quite a few people. When they saw Dou Changsheng coming, they all began to salute. Finally, Wu Junyi pointed at the alley and said, "Lord Zhao went here to investigate and then disappeared."
"We have checked the scene repeatedly. There are no signs of fighting here. Lord Zhao has disappeared out of thin air again."
This word "again" is very spiritual.
Because the last time, this Lord Zhao disappeared in almost the same way.
This happened twice. For Dou Changsheng, Zhao Tingzhi was completely useless and no longer worth training, because no one wanted to have a subordinate who would disappear again. It was time to start looking for the next leader of the Six Gates. Dou Changsheng didn't have a suitable candidate in mind. This position was very critical, and there would definitely be more things to come. He could hand it over to Xiao Wangzhi.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Although Xiao Wangzhi's status was not low, he had never had an official title. With Xiao Wangzhi's qualifications, it was completely sufficient for him to ascend to the top and become the master of the Six Gates.
Allowing King Xiao to gain the power of the Six Gates to continue suppressing potential ambitious people is also in line with the obligations of the Six Gates.
It's so hard.
The Daqian ship is a broken one with leaks everywhere, and there are too many things to deal with.
This is also my own fault. After all, this is a one-step process. Daqian was not developed by me, so I don't have a dedicated team. The current small team has too little experience and too mixed composition. There is no basis for trust, so of course it is not very useful.
After taking a look at the scene, Dou Changsheng knew that this was definitely not the crime scene.
Unless Zhao Tingzhi had betrayed him, how could a powerful person in the Heavenly Realm be killed or captured silently?
Only an immortal or a magical weapon can do it.
When an immortal weapon is used, there will definitely be fluctuations, and the immortals of the time will definitely react. Even if I have recently started to refine the Emperor's Sword, I can use it to gain insight into the Imperial Capital.
This is something that other immortal weapons cannot do, the Vajra Pestle certainly cannot do it, but the Sword of the Son of Heaven can, because the Sword of the Son of Heaven is an immortal weapon of the imperial way. For the imperial capital that it controls, the Sword of the Son of Heaven has the function of monitoring, and with its own vast realm of unity between man and nature, it can sense the power of immortal weapons.
Wu Junyi naturally discovered what Dou Changsheng could judge, and he spoke directly: "At that time, Lord Zhao came alone, and this was the news that was finally sent to the Six Gates. We also visited people nearby, and some people were able to prove that they saw Lord Zhao coming here at that time."
Dou Changsheng looked around at this shabby area. He didn't expect that the imperial capital was so glamorous, but there was such a shabby place. Finally, he gave an order and said, "Lord Zhao disappeared because of some kind of poison."
"I believe the poison has already spread. You go and block the four directions, and have these people start drawing blood from every household. Then label each person with their name and detailed address, and finally hand it over to the Imperial Physician."
"Begin testing to see if they are poisoned, and prepare a rescue plan as soon as possible."
There are too many ways for those in power to draw blood. They just need to make up a reason.
Wu Junyi did not question it, but responded directly and started to do it.
Dou Changsheng planned to test the blood here first, but he did not hold out hope in his heart. The inner demon king dared to let Zhao Tingzhi disappear here, so the possibility of finding clues here was very slim.
However, the spread of the poison is a good reason. There is no poison nearby, so just expand the range.
What does it matter if the capital works harder just to complete a blue reward?
This is to eliminate hidden dangers for them and remove a potential death threat. As for wasting the court's money, that is even less of a problem. Dou Changsheng never forgot one thing from beginning to end, that the existence of Daqian is to help him practice, not the other way around, that he has to sacrifice himself for Daqian.
If the task was carried out by the government, there would definitely be problems with efficiency. Just for this small area, it would take at least a day, or even less. However, Wu Junyi led the team personally, and in less than an hour, they had completed the task assigned by Dou Changsheng.
The blood has been delivered to the chief imperial physician, and the doctors have begun to examine it.
They are the ones in the open, but the one who is truly responsible is Thousand-Handed Evil Lord.
This person has had contact with the Blood God, and he is also an evil god from outside the domain, so he is not comparable to ordinary people.
Drawing blood can mobilize many good detectives, but there are not so many imperial doctors, so this step is not very efficient. On the contrary, the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord is very efficient. Tentacles keep extending from behind, with their fangs and claws bared. As long as the tentacles are placed before the blood is drawn, a test has been completed.
Looking at the busy people, after going around in circles, Zhao Tingzhi, this waste, brought everything back to the starting point.
Soon, the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord finished, while many imperial doctors were still busy. The Thousand-Handed Evil Lord walked closer and whispered to Dou Changsheng, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you won the jackpot."
"I'm afraid I won 500 million directly in this lottery."
"Of course, Your Highness may not understand this sentence. This is a statement from a certain world named after science."
Qianshou Xiezun didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, saying, "All of these people have been found to have the aura of the Blood God."
"The aura is so faint that even if they were standing in front of me, I wouldn't be able to detect it, not even if they were bleeding. Only by careful and repeated inspections can I see through the disguise."
"So next, I want to verify one thing."
Qianshou Xiezun took a few steps, looked at the soldiers standing outside the door, and asked directly: "Who among you is a local of the imperial capital?"
Without waiting for their reply, Qianshou Xiezun shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is too much trouble."
"It's better to be direct."
Tentacles began to stretch out and directly grabbed the soldiers one by one. No matter how the soldiers resisted and struggled, they were all weak and powerless in front of the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord. The squirming tentacles directly pierced their wrists.
After the blood began to flow out, it was directly swallowed by the tentacles of the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord. Then the soldiers were thrown out by the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord. Hundreds of people fell to the ground. Seeing this, other soldiers began to gather together, but were stopped by Dou Changsheng who raised his hand and looked at the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord.
Qianshou Xiezun sneered and said, "It's just as I expected."
He pointed at a few of them and said, "These people all have the aura of the Blood God. I believe they must be native to the Imperial Capital."
"And considering they are able to serve as soldiers here, specifically responsible for protecting His Highness, their family background must be extraordinary. If even they have problems, then I'm afraid the entire imperial capital has problems."
When the Thousand-Handed Evil Lord opened his mouth, Dou Changsheng had already anticipated it.
However, it still needs to be verified. Looking at Wu Junyi, Wu Junyi left in a hurry without asking these soldiers about their origins. Instead, he directly retrieved their origin information.
After Wu Junyi returned, he not only brought information, but also some blood.
As Qianshou Xiezun was inspecting, he began to speak: "Local people all have problems, and this is a slum area, so most of the people being inspected are from other places."
“They have problems, too.”
"This is a serious situation."
