Chapter 53 Lure the snake out of its hole
Thousand Miles Soul Locking!

Chu Wujiang practiced the "Art of Begging for Spirits" and improved it based on the existing knowledge about spirits and souls.

He did not need to sacrifice his lifespan in exchange for soul power, so he simply improved [Offering] to transfer soul power.

Not only that, the amount he contributed was also huge.

What normal soul warriors fear most is the consumption of soul power, because it is an act of spending one's life, and the resources to replenish soul power are quite expensive.

Whether it was the Calming Incense or the Soul Nourishing Pill, their prices were much higher than those for martial arts practice.

But Chu Wujiang is different.

He directly mobilized the ability of [Soul and Flesh Meshing], allowing his vital energy to be continuously transformed into soul power, supporting him in using the Snow Girl and the improved version of the [Spirit Begging Technique] to [offer sacrifices].

Finally, after repeated attempts, he successfully captured a trace of soul fluctuations, which resonated with each other.

"The enemy is in Longcheng, near the fish market."

Chu Wujiang opened his eyes and finally got a chance to take the initiative.

Every time the enemy launched a sneak attack, he would then take defensive counterattacks. This time it was his turn to take the initiative.

[My Lord, let's set off soon. ]

[As long as we take away the Soul Stone, we can destroy the plan of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect! ]

The Snow Girl also wants to avenge her mother.

They clearly agreed that they would take care of their mother, but they didn't know what means they used to turn their mother into a kind mother ghost.

The Snow Girl practices the "Heavenly Ghost Visualization Method" and she understands the difficulty of raising ghosts.

If a person keeps a ghost in his heart, his body will feel immense pain, and it will not only be a matter of shortened lifespan. The ghost will attach itself to the body, constantly nourishing and growing stronger.

The pain even pierced into their bones, making it impossible for them to sleep peacefully.

When she was in Ting Yuxuan, she would choose to commit suicide without hesitation. It was also closely related to the pain, and she would feel a sense of relief.

When the Snow Girl thought of this, hatred filled her chest. She could bear the pain herself, but she could not accept that the same thing happened to her mother.

Then kill them all.

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:
[Spring dew, when facing great events, one must remain calm. ]

【Don’t alert the enemy. 】

[We only confirmed that the enemy was near the fish market, but we cannot determine the specific person or location.]

The Snow Girl could only say unwillingly:

[Yes, my lord. 】

Chu Wujiang comforted him:
[Don't worry, we'll be fighting soon. ]

【Just do a little research ahead of time.】

The soul stone of Wangui Sect is located in the east of Longcheng, close to the sea, which is also the largest fish market and slum residential area in Longcheng.

A large number of fishing boats and cargo ships travel there every day, providing jobs for a large number of refugees, such as porters at the docks, as well as residential areas spreading around the docks.

Such a place is simply the best breeding ground for the Ghost King.

……

Chu's house, living room

Chu Wujiang found out the approximate location of the soul stone, but did not take any direct action. Instead, he called his uncle Xiao Shouyi.

“Wujiang, are you saying that the remnants of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect are hiding in the slums near the fish market?”

"I will immediately send people to seal off the fish market and conduct a thorough investigation from beginning to end."

Chu Wujiang naturally would not tell his uncle directly that the Ghost King might be being cultivated there, but could he tolerate Xiao Shouyi's temper?

The Wangui Sect showed up again and again, and he also sent his men to investigate and collect intelligence.

There are people from the Changxin Chamber of Commerce in teahouses and restaurants all over Longcheng, collecting relevant information for him.

But so far, there has been no particularly strong intelligence.

Now Chu Wujiang told him that there was actually a dark place beneath the lamp. The remnants of the Wangui Sect appeared in the fish market rented by the Chu family. His first thought was to kill them all.

"Uncle, don't worry. The Wan Gui Sect has been operating for many years and has infiltrated every aspect of Longzhou."

"Once there is any sign of trouble, the counterattack will be very shocking."

"So we can't alert the enemy."

Xiao Shouyi has been the president of Changxin Chamber of Commerce for so many years, so he is naturally not a fool. He immediately added:

"Wujiang, whatever you say, your uncle will do."

Chu Wujiang tapped the table habitually and nodded:

"The Changxin Chamber of Commerce controls most of the industries in the fish market. There should be people in the fish market who are trustworthy."

"We are selecting some key members, not to let them investigate the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, but to investigate any abnormal situations."

"Uncle, please be careful. You can't just let it go after giving the order."

"We need to send someone to secretly monitor them and see if we can catch any big fish."

Xiao Shouyi's pupils shrank slightly. His nephew's meaning was very clear. He couldn't trust even the people from Changxin Chamber of Commerce!

The Wangui Sect has been besieged by the imperial court for many years, but despite the presence of the Imperial Observatory and the gravekeepers, they are still able to survive.

This shows that they are a very senior organization that knows how to hide themselves.

For example, Chu Wujiang took down the tea-making girl, but the tea-making girl knew almost nothing about the organizational structure.

The tea-making girl is just cannon fodder.

The Huo family took down the Beggars' Sect, but did not obtain any more important intelligence.

The Wangui Sect’s ability to counter-reconnaissance and cut off intelligence connections is extremely powerful.

Therefore, Chu Wujiang decided to lure the snake out of its hole and conduct a small-scale test to see if there were any traitors under the Changxin Chamber of Commerce.

"Don't worry, Wujiang."

"Uncle will definitely send out his most capable subordinates. No, uncle will definitely follow them personally and will not let any traitor go."

Chu Wujiang hesitated for a while, then nodded and said:

"I'll leave everything to my uncle."

"Uncle can divide the notification into several batches and slowly narrow down the scope."

"You can also release some false information, such as arresting all the beggars outside Dragon City."

Xiao Shouyi's eyes lit up. His nephew was really good at catching traitors.

The Changxin Chamber of Commerce secretly notified everyone that if there were spies inside the chamber, they would surely pass on the information impatiently.

Then you can catch them all in one go.

"Don't worry, Wujiang, your uncle will definitely do a great job."

When Chu Wujiang heard this, he was not happy at all. Instead, he quickly said:
"Uncle, you must not be impulsive. Even if you discover a traitor or the movements of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, you must be extremely cautious."

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is very powerful, and it is definitely not something the Chamber of Commerce can handle."

"I will ask Coach Lin to cooperate with my uncle."

Chu Wujiang did not tell anyone about the Ghost King in order to avoid information leakage, but he was worried that his uncle would be careless, so he just gave him a few reminders at most.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shouyi frowned and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Wujiang, your uncle will handle it properly."

"But uncle has something else to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Chu Wujiang said quickly:
"Uncle, why are you so polite? But you can talk."

Xiao Shouyi's square face showed a bit of determination:

"An army cannot be run with kindness. If the time comes to fight, your uncle will be abandoned."

“You are the only one who is in control.”

Chu Wujiang was slightly stunned. It turned out that it was his concern that caused Xiao Shouyi to misunderstand him. He was afraid that he would act on his emotions and affect the overall situation.

"Don't worry, uncle. I understand."

It’s just that I like difficult challenges rather than sacrificing my subordinates at will.

To win, you must win beautifully.

When Xiao Shouyi saw that Chu Wujiang agreed, he felt relieved and prepared to return to the Xiao family to start gathering people to investigate the fish market.

……

Slums, a house somewhere
A pale-faced, thin girl hummed a cheerful song and opened the door.

"Your Excellency, this is the water jar you requested."

A dock porter quickly brought the things into the room and said respectfully.

He seemed not to be talking to a weak woman, but to a real big shot, bending down very low.

The pale girl chuckled and said:

"Uncle Chen, thank you."

The porter stammered, sweating profusely:
"My Lord, you are too polite."

"My little sir, I will leave now."

The pale girl nodded and said:
"Okay."

The porter disappeared in a flash, and the girl easily picked up the water jar and brought it into the room.

In a dim corner, the body of a child lay on the ground, already smelling of decay.

The girl lifted the child's body, put it into the water tank, and said softly:

"Kids, it's time to go home."

There was no one in the girl's room, and there were full water tanks piled up, almost filling up the entire room.
