C14 Joint investigation
Nangong Jue also felt that he was right when he made that decision. They established such a sect. Firstly, it was to train the leadership of Heaven's Inquisition, and secondly, it was to give the Devil Sect a solid and upright backing.
If those righteous sects and sects in the martial world wanted to do something bad and colluded to deal with the Devil Sect, they would have received the news immediately and would be prepared to defend or counterattack.
The reason why Wu Dang didn't tell them about the identity of the Devil Sect was mainly because of the relationship between the Devil Sect and the other big sects. He knew that the relationship between the Devil Sect and the other big sects in the martial arts world was not very harmonious.
He didn't know why, but Heaven's Inquisition always felt that his grandfather didn't have such a huge prejudice against the Wudang Sect. Even so, he wouldn't easily reveal his identity to them.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, or if his grandfather had some sort of relationship with someone in the martial arts world, so it wasn't convenient for Heaven's Inquisition to reveal his true identity.
Moreover, he had come to Xunyang City this time to investigate the matter of the Devil Sect's frame-up. Even though he didn't care what the purpose of this visit had been, not revealing his motives was still the safest course of action.
Lu Changting and the others exchanged greetings with Heaven's Inquisition and thanked him for treating Wuyou to a meal. Then, they said their goodbyes and went to their room upstairs.
After returning to their room, the three of them did not have time to reprimand Wu You for his reckless actions. The three of them thought to themselves, "I wonder why the people from the Heaven Gate are here, could it be that they are here to investigate the Western Regions?"
After today's investigation, they found out that the inn where the people of the Western Regions were staying was not an ordinary inn. According to the locals, this inn had already been built for four to five years …
But the strange thing was, some guests could go into their inn, while others could not go in. This made Lu Changding and the others feel very strange.
Moreover, those people of the Western Regions had been staying there for quite a few days. They immediately locked their eyes onto the big tavern. As expected, the older one was the sharper one, and these three senior disciples of the Wudang Sect were able to tell at a glance that something was wrong with the tavern.
Worryfree stood to the side, listening. Because he had only come in the afternoon, he had not participated in the investigation. As for what kind of inn his martial uncles were talking about, the people of the Western Regions did not understand.
After that, Lu Changding told him the results of their investigation. He didn't know if the people they were talking about in the Western Regions were the ones they were looking for, but it seemed like the martial uncles were targeting them.
Hearing that there was a problem with the inn across the street, Wuyou wanted to take a look, but all the martial uncles warned him not to act recklessly. They had already sent a message to Carefree, telling him that Wuyou was with them.
And they told him not to worry, and they told him to send him back if he was dishonest. The uncles' worries were not superfluous. Worryfree had developed this unruly and unrestrained personality in the Wu Dang Mountain.
Sometimes, he would leave the 'free' child helpless. Since he had a criminal record, his uncles were all worried that he would do something that would ruin their plans.
Worryfree heard his Senior Masters stress repeatedly that they treated him like a child. He was not convinced, but he knew that this concerned Wu Dang's life.
It was already good that he could obtain the approval of a few elders to stay here. He did not want to be sent back to Wu Dang because he was disobedient.
That night, Wuyou was arranged to sleep with Wu Dang's group of disciples in the room opposite Heaven's Inquisition. At night, when he was sleeping soundly, he heard some sound and immediately woke up.
When he flipped over, he immediately sat up and looked at his junior brothers and sisters who were sleeping soundly. He didn't wake them up but quietly got off the bed.
He put on his coat while walking towards the door. He listened quietly for the sound coming from the corridor, which seemed to be the room of his senior uncle and the others.
Worryfree was afraid that something might happen so he quietly opened the door and peeked outside. However, the conditions were limited and he couldn't see anything. He quietly opened the door even more and stuck half his head out.
Then, he saw two people wearing strange clothes at the door of his martial uncles' room. It seemed like they were going to do something bad. Wu You was thinking about whether he should go out and stop them, or wake up Uncle and the others.
Wuyou knew his martial arts, and he also knew that if he were to casually go out, he would definitely be courting death. These two people seemed to be people from the Western Regions that Martial Uncle and the others were talking about.
Just as Wuyou was about to go out and stir up some trouble, he suddenly saw the doors of his martial uncles room open, and they started tangling with the two men.
Seeing that his martial uncles had woken up, Wuyou was no longer worried. These two people were not a match for his three uncles. So he came out of the room and leaned against the wall, waiting to see the play.
However, Wuyou soon discovered that something was wrong. Something seemed to have happened to his martial uncles, and their movements were not as nimble as usual. Their reactions were also very slow, and they could not even compare to Wuyou.
What was going on? Seeing the three Martial uncles being pushed back by these two Westerners who clearly had mediocre martial arts skills, Wuyou was dumbfounded. This was going to be a good show.
Without even thinking, he rushed forward. No matter how powerful these people were, or what demonic arts they used, Wuyou would still go up and fight.
Who knew that before Wuyou could even get close to one of them, he was pushed back with his palm and heavily crashed into the door.
Just as Wuyou rubbed his butt and was about to charge up again, the room door suddenly appeared. It was only the door to Heaven's Inquisition.
Heaven's Inquisition had actually heard the commotion long ago, but just as he was about to go out and take a look at the situation, he heard the sound of the worry-free door opening and decided to wait.
Who knew that Wuyou's martial arts really weren't that good, so he went out to help. Heaven's Inquisition helped Wuyou up, then rushed over and with a palm strike and a flip of his leg, the two of them fell to the ground.
At the same time they fell to the ground, Lu Changding and the others kneeled down. Heaven's Inquisition immediately helped them up. Taking this opportunity, the two people from the Western Regions crawled up and ran away.
Initially, Wuyou wanted to give chase, but Heaven's Inquisition stopped him. He hurried over to support his Martial Uncles and entered the room. When he helped them into the room, he asked them what was wrong and why was it like this.
As soon as he entered the room, Heaven's Inquisition felt that the smell was off. He quickly opened the window and said, "They were poisoned by the incense." Wuyou asked what the two of them were up to.
When they had just arrived at Xunyang City, this group of people had already come looking for trouble with them. It seemed like they had already planned this beforehand.
Before he could say anything, Heaven's Inquisition said, "Truth be told, I've come to Xunyang City for this group of Western Regions."
Now that their goals were the same, Worryfree suggested that they act together. This way, the double insurance would be much safer.
A few days ago, Wu Dang's disciples were innocently killed. The killers said that they were from the Devil Sect, but their Sect Leader said that it wasn't so, and they had followed it up to this place.
Tian Wen nodded. It seemed that there were some people who were more rational. However, their Devil Sect disdained doing such a sneak attack.
Right now, other than temporarily not being able to tell them his identity, Heaven's Inquisition had already decided to investigate this matter together with them. Rather than letting the Devil Sect find out about this matter and announce it to the world, it was better to let Wu Dang personally witness it.
The words that Wu Dang sent to announce this fact to the world were more persuasive than the words spoken by the Devil Sect themselves. Moreover, this matter was clearly not simple. If the three seniors of Wu Dang were to help, then it would be for the best.
Heaven's Inquisition allowed the three seniors to rest for a bit. Since the incense wasn't some sort of poison, as long as they rested for a bit, the poison would be automatically excreted from their bodies.
When he came out of their room, Wuyou couldn't help praising Heaven Seeking Palace's martial arts skills. He had seen it all just now, Heaven Seeking Palace was able to defeat those two Western Regions people with ease.
Heaven's Inquisition heard this and said that this was nothing. If the three seniors weren't bewitched by the incense, they could still deal with the two of them in one move. Wuyou nodded.
Then, he refused to let Heaven's Inquisition return to his room and promised it would teach him martial arts. Heaven's Inquisition was very strange. He called Wu Dang Qi [1], but his kung fu skills were mediocre
This did not make sense. After hearing Heaven's Inquisition's question, Wuyou scratched his head in embarrassment, saying that his master did not allow him to learn martial arts.
He was only allowed to learn a few simple techniques that could help him defend and strengthen his body. Although Tianwen didn't know why, he still nodded and didn't continue asking.
After being ambushed by the two men from the Western Regions, it was already late at night. They returned to their respective rooms. Heaven's Inquisition sent his grandfather a letter. Flying Eagle sent him a message and told him that he wanted to work with Wu Dang's people.
The next morning, while Wuyou was still sleeping in his room, Heaven's Inquisition and a few other martial uncles had already started to discuss how to deal with the Western Regions.
According to Heaven's Inquisition's analysis, those people from the Western Regions kept finding trouble with the Wudang Sect in order to injure or beat them to death, and then blame it on the Devil Sect.
However, the three seniors of Wu Dang thought that they had probably stayed in Xunyang City for too long and had aroused their suspicions, which was why they were in such a hurry to chase them away.
The result of their discussion was to turn passivity into initiative, and not sit here and wait for death. They decided to act tonight.
When they were done with their discussion, Wuyou woke up with a yawn. Seeing that he was so lazy, Lu Changding said, "Look at Young Hero Tianwen, he's the same age as you. Look at you again."
When Wuyou heard this, he made a face at Lu Changding. He thought to himself, "It's still too much of a master not to teach me martial arts."
If he also knew martial arts, he would have been able to beat up those two people from yesterday and search for their teeth on the ground. Seeing that Wuyou had actually made a face, Lu Changding quickly cupped his hands to Heaven's Inquisition and said, "Young Hero Tianwen, please excuse me."
Tian Wen shook his head with a smile, then bid farewell and left. After Tian Wen left, Wu You went over to ask Martial Uncle if they were discussing something and if they needed to take action.
Lu Changding and Wenqing didn't respond to Wuyou's question, and Wuyou saw that both of his martial uncles ignored him. Thus, he went to ask Xiao Wen Chang.
Xiao Wen Chang was usually in pain and carefree, so he told Wu You that no matter what they wanted to do, he wasn't allowed to interfere. He could just obediently stay in the inn.
Worryfree knew they were going to do something tonight, but the Uncles wouldn't tell him if he asked again.
Seeing that he would not be able to get anything out of his senior uncle, he decided to go to Heaven's Inquisition and ask around. He might be able to help out in any way, but he was unsure.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard his Senior Martial Uncle say, "If you dare to disturb Heaven Seeking Young Hero, then I'll beat you up when we go back!"
Wuyou rolled his eyes, opened the door, and left. While opening the door, he said that he would go eat breakfast. It was true that Wuyou went downstairs to eat breakfast, but after he finished eating, he got the waiter to serve him another serving.
Tianwen sat in his room, looking across the street at the great inn. At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and before he could reply, the door was pushed open. The person who came in was Wuyou with a plate of breakfast in his hand.
Heaven's Inquisition was confused. Why would he do the things that Ling'er did? He saw Wuyou walk in and put down his things. Then, he went to the door and looked around. Then, he closed the door.
Astronomical didn't know what he was doing. He just looked at him and waited for him to speak. Then, he pushed the breakfast in front of Heaven's Inquisition and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Eat it while it's hot."
Heaven's Inquisition said he had eaten, and then Wuyou picked up a piece of bread to eat. He asked Heaven's Inquisition why, and Heaven's Inquisition knew that he had something to say, so he went straight to the point. "What do you want to say?"
