153: Make money

"This Qian Sihai really deserves to die!" Looking at the file in his hand, Captain Fu's face was incredibly dark. He wished he could drag Qian Sihai, who had already been exiled to the Vanguard Camp, back and tear him into a thousand pieces!

After the battle to suppress the Qian family ended, the Patrol Guard and the Demon Suppression Division joined forces to investigate beneath the newly appeared hollow rift. It wasn't until just now that the truth of the matter came to light.

The reason Qian Sihai was able to conduct large-scale human experiments, and even forge that armor using the blood essence of many Martial Artists, was most importantly because there was a world of its own beneath that rift! Inside, there was actually a spatial distortion that led directly to a place a hundred miles outside of Luofeng City!

When the Demon Suppression Division and the Patrol Guard passed through the spatial distortion fully armed, they were immediately stunned on the spot by the primitive scene that looked like it was from hundreds of years ago. It was actually a place where humans lived. Tens of thousands of humans resided there.

However, unlike the high-rise buildings of Luofeng City, the vast majority of the buildings there were made of stone and wood. The commoners living there were like primitive people with undeveloped minds, living a primitive life of men farming and women weaving.

Seeing the people from the Demon Suppression Division arrive, they immediately surrounded them excitedly. At the same time, many of them were carrying young boys and girls on their shoulders. After some contact, the people from the Demon Suppression Division learned that these young boys and girls were the sacrifices they offered!

According to them, the tribe was plagued by Demonic Beasts from time to time. Only by offering sacrifices could they receive the blessing of the gods. Moreover, after the sacrifices, the invading Demonic Beasts did indeed decrease significantly.

It wasn't that they hadn't considered fending for themselves at the beginning. But the surrounding Demonic Beasts were simply too strong. They had no thermal weapons in their hands, only spears sharpened from stone. Dealing with ordinary wild beasts was no problem, but wanting to deal with Demonic Beasts that could easily bite through stone was undoubtedly a fantasy.

In the first battle against the Demonic Beasts, they left behind hundreds of corpses and failed to kill a single Demonic Beast! Later, although they still organized several offensives against the Demonic Beasts, they still couldn't kill any. Over time, they came to revere the envoys sent by the Qian family as gods.

The Patrol Guard and the Demon Suppression Division, from their omniscient perspective, naturally understood that this was just a trick used by the Qian family. By casually letting in a couple of Demonic Beasts and then sending people to suppress them, they could gain the worship of the locals.

As for why there were still tribes with undeveloped minds in this era, Captain Fu guessed that it was probably because the Qian family had deliberately created such a place not long after the arrival of the High Martial Era. It is very difficult to enlighten people, but it is much easier to reduce them to a primitive tribe.

"Old Zheng, trouble yourself to make a trip personally." Captain Fu put down the file with a gloomy expression and looked at Zheng Jianren beside him. "Alright."

The location of the spatial distortion was hundreds of meters underground. Because the Black Scaled Flood Dragon had lived there, it was filled with bone-chilling cold. Even if those ordinary people passed through the spatial distortion, they might not be able to withstand the erosion of the cold. And to carve a path for them from the wild and bring them back, a powerful expert had to lead the team.

Zheng Jianren had just left when a Patrol Guard stumbled in. "Commander Fu, big... big trouble." "What happened?" Captain Fu frowned slightly, his presence naturally imposing.

"There... there is an unknown expert who broke into the Patrol Guard." The Patrol Guard captain panted, gasping for air, and said intermittently. Upon hearing this, Captain Fu released his Qi to investigate. Only then did he discover an unknown aura inside the Patrol Guard. This aura didn't feel powerful, but it was like a black hole, instantly annihilating the Qi Captain Fu used to probe it.

A moment later, Captain Fu arrived with his men. The Eagle-browed Old Man snorted coldly, "You must be the Commander Fu here, right?" Captain Fu's gaze was icy, "It is I. Who are you?"

The Eagle-browed Old Man ignored the hostility of the crowd and took out a token. When the Patrol Guards saw this token, they were shocked. "It's actually an instructor from the Hanghai Martial Arts Academy!" Captain Fu also quickly signaled the other Patrol Guards to put down their weapons. "I wonder what important matter brings this instructor here?" Captain Fu's attitude softened a lot, but he wasn't servile. It was true that the Eagle-browed Old Man's strength was greater than his, but the Patrol Guard did not need to be humble to any force.

The Eagle-browed Old Man's eyes were gloomy. "Our academy had a student research group come to the wild area on the border of Luofeng City and Shanyang City for their graduation exam. However, the entire group of dozens of people has gone missing! Not a single person has returned to the academy! Envoy Fu, do you have any clues?"

Hearing this, Captain Fu immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his face changing drastically. Those who could enter the Hanghai Martial Arts Academy were geniuses among geniuses. In their Luofeng City, perhaps only the top ten ranking candidates in a year could enter an academy of this level! If dozens of students with such talent died all at once, the fact that the other party hadn't turned Luofeng City upside down was probably already quite restrained! Although Luofeng City hadn't received news in advance, this was, after all, the territory of Luofeng City and Shanyang City. He had to provide an answer to their accountability.

"Please calm down, Instructor. I will immediately launch an investigation together with Commander Jia! We will definitely give the Hanghai Martial Arts Academy an explanation as soon as possible!" Commander Jia was the leader of the Patrol Guard in Shanyang City. "Hmph, I hope you don't disappoint me." The Eagle-browed Old Man looked unkind, ordering them around, "Have someone give me a list of all the Martial Artists who entered or left the city area a month ago."

Captain Fu was about to leave, but his face darkened when he heard this. It was obvious that they didn't trust them. Captain Fu took a deep breath; there was no need to offend the other party because of this. "Xiao Wang, go get a copy of the list." After leaving, Captain Fu called Commander Jia. The Patrol Guards of the two cities immediately took action and began searching in the wild.

The next morning, the weather was clear. Li Canglan had originally planned to go out of the city for training early in the morning. But after thinking about it last night, he had changed his mind. Activating the Martial Skill special effects of the Thunderbolt Slash would require spending quite a bit of shen xia currency. At that time, more Advanced Martial Skills would only cost more shen xia currency. Although hunting Demonic Beasts also made money, the returns from killing low-star Demonic Beasts were not high, and one could only win by quantity. Li Canglan prepared to activate the two special effects, Electric Shock and Thunderous Force, as much as possible before leaving the city.

Knock, knock! At this moment, a shopping guide from the Martial Arts Pavilion came to knock on the door. "Elder He, someone has come to look for Li Zhuangyuan." Li Canglan hooked the corner of his mouth. It seems that without him having to look for them, someone had come to his door to deliver money. In the conference room of the Martial Arts Pavilion, several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes were sitting upright. In the gazes they exchanged with each other, intense sparks were flashing.
