C17 The clue was broken again
Therefore, he hurriedly tried to curry favor with them: "What are you all doing, didn't you all say that you want to increase the price? I told the Mistress, I will definitely increase the price for you all!" The leader of the Western Regions snorted coldly when he heard this.
Originally, their goal in coming here was to help this mysterious Palace Master. But now, not only did they not see the Palace Master, and did not receive any deposit, but they also attracted a large group of powerful warriors.
This deal was really a loss. They might not have been able to earn any money, but they might have ended up losing their lives instead. A wise man would naturally leave as soon as he could. They were greedy for money, but their lives were more important than it. They understood the simple principle.
Lu Changding was not so easy to get rid of. He asked, "What is their purpose in coming all the way here from the Western Regions?" The man called for help to help the big man, who was still unconscious, up.
While saying, "Although what we are doing is not a good thing, we still have our own principles. We can't speak carelessly. If you want to know something, you can ask him yourself." After speaking, he pointed to the white-haired man by his side.
Seeing that these people did not want to continue, the white-haired man immediately became anxious. If they were to run away now, then he would be alone, so he urged them to stay, saying: "If you can help the Palace Master and send these people away, then the Palace Master will definitely reward you well."
However, to those people from the Western Regions, these words no longer held much appeal. They supported their injured comrades and left without looking back. The only people left in the inn were the nervous white-haired man and his subordinates who were moaning in pain on the ground.
Seeing that those people had left, the white-haired man was left alone. He walked forward step by step, forcing the white-haired man to retreat step by step. Finally, he leaned against the wall.
Wuyou rubbed his left eye that was in pain, and said to the white-haired man, "These subordinates of yours are pretty powerful, it hurts so much!"
Lu Changding called out to Wuyou, telling him not to be impudent. Then, Wuyou twitched his mouth and left. Lu Changding walked over. He cupped his hands towards the white-haired man and said, "This nephew is very rude. Please forgive me for offending you."
Then he told them why they had come, so that the white-haired man could tell him who he was referring to as the Palace Master.
The white-haired man wanted to tell them that he was inquiring about the Palace Master, but he himself didn't know because ever since the establishment of the Palace, he had never met her.
He was merely the head of a small branch office, and whenever there was a mission or instruction, the branch managers would directly send someone to pass it on to him.
However, when they heard that he didn't know, they naturally didn't believe him. Wu You put his feet on the table and said, "If you don't hand it over today, then you probably won't want your life anymore."
Heaven's Inquisition took away the blade in his hand, then said that he really did not know about the background of this Palace Master. Such a secretive organization had already developed to this point, but there were still many people in the martial world who did not know about their existence.
There must be a reason why no one knew of their existence over the years. Either this Palace Master was very scheming, or he was in charge of his subordinates.
But now, it seemed that his method was to remain mysterious and not let anyone know his true identity. It looked like their investigation would end here.
However, Wuyou was still unreconciled. From the looks of it, this white-haired man should be a manager at the same time. How could he not even know who his master was? That would be too unreasonable.
Worry threatened him again, more than he said, but in the end there was only one name they knew — the Water Palace. According to the white-haired man, their water palace was built five years ago, and no one knows where it is.
At the very least, no one in the Palace knew of anyone who could speak. They were only there to do business, and their tasks and instructions were passed down to them through special personnel or other special methods.
Their palace master was an even more mysterious existence. No one had seen him before, nor did they know his name. Even his gender was a big mystery of the Water Palace.
However, there was always a convention at a certain time every year. The members of the Palace and the branch offices of the Palace were set up all over the country. There were almost everywhere, but there was one thing in common.
Their branch offices could be disguised as a variety of shops, restaurants, gambling outlets, and even brothels. Their people could be disguised as a variety of people, such as small traders, bosses, and even beggars.
All this proves the mystery of the Palace of Water Control, and that it is real. They are classified within their organization, and the larger one can be divided into smaller ones.
The bigger one could also manage a few smaller ones at the same time, which would be beneficial for their management. In addition, when the meeting was held, the higher ups would pass down the orders to the lower levels.
Since they only got to know each other during meetings, they didn't know each other's situation. Even if they wanted to know more, they would only get transferred once in awhile, so they wouldn't be able to get any more information about the Palace.
Therefore, even if it was an insider, if they weren't a core member, they would still be unable to clearly describe the position, number, and division of the Palace.
The white-haired man said that it was understandable that he did not know, but this made Heaven's Inquisition, Lu Changting, and the others even more worried. This organization existed in a mysterious and ubiquitous manner, and if they were to continue to destroy the relationship between the Devil Sect and other famous sects and sects, it would bring about a disaster for them.
But now, the issue arose. Why did this mysterious Water stop palace want to destroy the relations between the various factions of the martial arts world? What was his purpose? If there were no conflicts between the Water stop Palace and the Devil Sect, then it would be unjustifiable.
After listening to Lu Changding's analysis, Tian Wen interrupted, "Not necessarily. Maybe his goal is not just the Devil Sect, but the entire martial arts world. First, he used the Devil Sect to make the two sides kill each other, and then he disintegrated the martial arts sects one by one."
Hearing Tian Wen's question, everyone felt that it was reasonable. If that was the case, then the game played by the Palace Mistress of Water stop palace was really big enough and it included the entire martial arts Lin. Could it be that his goal was the entire martial arts Lin, and that someone wanted to become the Martial Alliance Master?
There was no answer to this question, no one knew what the answer was, no one could give an exact answer. Wu You listened to their analysis from the side, not interrupting their conversation. He was thinking, why did the Palace Head of the Water Cessation Palace want to teach them a lesson?
There were plenty of martial arts sects that were bigger than the Devil Sect and there were many martial arts upright sects that had more influence than the Devil Sect. Could it be that the Devil Sect had sinned before this? Thinking about this, Wuyou asked, "Do you think that the enemies of the Devil Sect have come to seek revenge?"
Heaven's Inquisition immediately rejected this question because no one was clearer than him about his grandfather's character. As long as someone provoked the Devil Sect, his grandfather would never let them take the initiative to recruit people to make enemies for the Devil Sect.
After spending a few days in Xunyang City, they were still able to get what they wanted. Wu Dang, Lu Changting, and Wu Dong all stood up to report to their master.
Heaven's Inquisition also had to return to the Devil Sect to report back to Grandfather. In the end, even when they separated, the two brothers still didn't know each other's true identities.
In the main hall of the inn, the panda eye in his left eye had been mocked by Ling'er up till now. Lu Changting and the other two Senior Masters were saying their goodbyes and hoped that they would meet again in the future.
Wuyou and the three martial uncles set off on their way. They were anxious to report back to the Free and Unrestrained Child. The Water Palace was not a simple organization, and the Palace Mistress was not a simple person either.
During the days they spent in Xunyang City, several other events occurred in the martial arts world. These were battles between demonic sects and other sects, so there were varying degrees of casualties.
He had even heard rumors that the other sects that had been attacked by the Devil Sect were already starting to organize their own forces and forces, preparing to annihilate the Devil Sect in one fell swoop.
Heaven's Inquisition also heard of this news, so he decided to leave temporarily. He had planned to do some investigation after Wu You and the others left, because the white-haired man had said that the Water Palace would hold regular meetings.
Although this method was a bit risky, but so far, this was the only way. Now that the clues had been broken, they could only follow up until here.
Now that he had heard such news, he was still worried about the Devil Sect and his grandfather, and planned to go back. Therefore, Heaven's Inquisition took Ling'er all the way back to the Devil Sect, and parted ways with Heaven's Inquisition.
Wu Dang was relatively close to Xunyang City, and this time they were on horseback, galloping at full speed. It didn't even take them a day to reach Wudang.
On the way here, he would play around and delay time. His purpose was to get the three martial uncles to say some good words for him in front of his master. This time, he went down the mountain without permission. After the boy learned of this, although he didn't say how he would be punished in the letter, everyone was well aware of it.
There is no way we can avoid this punishment. "Lu Changding saw that Wuyou was listless and comforted him," Who told you to disobey the Grand Master's orders? You can't blame anyone else for getting punished now. "
Hearing this, Wuyou felt even more helpless. It was not easy to go down the mountain once, but it was a pity that he failed to capture the Palace Mistress of the Water Palace in vain. Instead, he had to go back and receive his punishment.
It was the place he had led the most in his entire life. When he was young, he was mischievous, so the Grand Master told him to go over the cliff and ponder over it.
Crossing the cliff was actually a cave. After entering, the other side of the cave would be a bottomless abyss. As long as the door to the cave was locked, the people inside would have to face the endless abyss and walls.
Worryfree still liked to watch the sun rise and set, but it was too boring there. No one talked to him and no one played with him.
Every day, someone would bring him food and food, but the door wouldn't open, so when Wuyou talked to the person who brought him food, they ignored him.
Because there was a rule for this in Wu Dang, everyone who was regretting their decision to face the wall was not allowed to speak to him or have any contact with him.
This rule was set by the unfettered child. Actually, everyone knew that this rule was for no worries, because in the past ten years, there had only been one person who had stayed at the Regret Cliff for the longest period of time.
When he returned to Wu Dang, it was already late at night. Lu Changding and the other two martial uncles still had to go to the Free and Unrestrained Child's room to report the situation.
However, he was caught by Lu Changding, so he had no choice but to follow him to the Free and Unrestrained Child's room. Worryfree tried to reduce his presence as much as possible as he stood in the corner, listening to the reports from his three seniors.
