Chapter 450: The Wulin Leader’s Fiancée (66)
Although Beitang Jing's heart was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, at this moment, he could only helplessly bury these emotions deep in his heart, force himself to swallow his anger, and return to Yunjian Villa with a heart full of anger.
At the same time, it was a completely different scene on Shi Wuxin's side. It could be said that "he was riding a horse at a gallop in the spring breeze, and he could see all the flowers in Jinyang in one day."
After once again warmly receiving and entertaining a group of people who came to congratulate him, one of his men came to report that a female knight named "He Ruochu" requested a meeting and hoped that he could come forward to administer justice.
For the newly appointed leader of the martial arts world, this was the first thing he did after taking over, so he attached great importance to it and immediately ordered someone to invite her into the house.
As soon as He Ruochu stepped into the room, he couldn't wait to tell Shi Wuxin about his recent major discovery.
It turns out that a very mysterious organization has recently appeared in the world - the "Shadow Cult".
According to rumors, the leader of this sect is not only an unfathomable martial arts master, but also extremely cruel and ruthless in his methods.
Many people in the martial arts world have suffered from his fierce attacks, and He Ruochu himself is one of the unfortunate victims.
"Alliance Leader Shi, my family's ancestral weapon 'Blood Moon' was taken away by that evil villain. Please seek justice for me no matter what!" He Ruochu pleaded with a sad face.
Originally, when Shi Wuxin heard the name "Shadow Cult", his hand holding the teacup paused unconsciously. After hearing He Ruochu mention the word "Blood Moon", his expression became even weirder.
"Ahem!" Shi Wuxin coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, and then said, "I can't just listen to your one-sided story about this matter, so let me send someone to check it out first, and then let you know when there's a result.
If they do misbehave, I will not let them off.”
He Ruofei bowed deeply to Shi Wuxin, then turned and left.
Watching his receding figure, Shi Wuxin frowned slightly, turned around and whispered to his subordinate Fan Yu beside him: "This person is a bit suspicious! If it is as she said, why would the 'Shadow Cult' ask us for credit even to buy medicine for injuries?"
You know, Wei Medical City’s most famous business is supplying all kinds of medicines and detoxification pills to people in the martial arts world every year.
The "Shadow Cult" is also one of their regular customers, but they are the most impoverished among them.
Fan Yu couldn't help but think of the pair of shoes of the leader of the "Shadow Cult" that had been worn out to the bottom, and the way he ate and drank for free every time he went to Wei Medical City to purchase medicines. His heart twitched and he felt very painful.
"Let's not talk about other things, just the 'Blood Moon' is not a good thing." Shi Wuxin stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Before launching an attack, this weapon must first devour the blood of its master.
Others could only "kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own", but this "Blood Moon" was "kill one thousand enemies and lose twelve thousand of their own".
Only a fool would treat it as a family heirloom and refuse to give it up. "
"The key is that even if she gets the 'Blood Moon', she can't use it." Fan Yu revealed the secret he had obtained in exchange for wine and meat, "That ghost thing is very picky about people. Only the blood of a certain family can satisfy its needs.
And now the only person of that clan is the leader of the Shadow Cult."
"Let's check it out!" Shi Wuxin raised his eyebrows and said, "Since someone has come to sue, let's send someone to check it out. Oh, and check on He Ruochu as well."
"Yes." Fan Yu turned and went out.
A few days later, Fan Yu came to report the results of the investigation.
"What He Ruochu said is not true at all." Fan Yu said with a bow, "You, the young city lord, actually know something about the 'Shadow Cult'. Among them, only the leader has better martial arts, but he is just relying on the 'Blood Moon' to hold on.
They basically make a living by doing some underworld business, but most of the people they rob are evil people, and 60% of the money they earn is distributed to the poor people near the church.
Moreover, due to their style of not harming human lives, although some people are dissatisfied with the "Shadow Cult", it has not caused too much public outrage.
But regarding the 'blood moon', there are some discrepancies."
Shi Wuxin frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"According to my investigation, the 'Blood Moon' was not passed down by He Ruochu's ancestors, but she once saw the leader of the 'Shadow Cult' using this weapon and felt that it was extremely powerful." Fan Yu continued with disdain, "At that time, she had thought about stealing it. But she didn't succeed.
The reason why she came to complain now is that she wants to use you to get rid of the leader of the Shadow Cult." Fan Yu lowered his head and said.
Shi Wuxin's eyes became sharp: "What a scheming woman. Such a small person dares to deceive me, who is behind her?"
"I have found out that He Ruochu and Beitang Jing were sworn brothers." Fan Yu frowned and said, "This person is not to be feared, but they have a sworn brother, Ling Moqing from Juxianfang."
"No way! Everyone says that Ling Moqing has good vision. How could he become sworn brothers with such a person?" Shi Wuxin didn't quite believe what Fan Yu said.
"It's just a rumor, it hasn't been confirmed yet." Fan Yu added, "I've sent someone to Juxianfang to inquire, and there will be news soon."
