Chapter 354 Take Over the Eradication
After talking to the three Xiong Sect Masters, Wang Zhifan set off with them towards Hutou Town not long after.
The reason for such urgency was actually Wang Zhifan's personal request. It was rare for him to encounter all the key people present, so he went together to complete the necessary handover procedures.
Among them, Sect Leader Xiong must be present, because he is one of the leaders of this territory, and is an existence that is known and recognized by nearby forces. Only through him can the people in Fengxue Tower know Wang Zhifan. , so that Wang Zhifan would not have to do any identification or brute force cracking.
The four of them rode their own horses and descended from Wuji Mountain, heading north and then east. After about an hour, they arrived at Hutou Town, which was five hundred miles away from Wuji Sect, and then went there first. The Fengxue Tower on the low hill east of Hutou Town is a nine-story wooden tower where the official handover of power is held.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli were led by a sixty-year-old warrior with a respectful expression, and they walked into a main hall on the third floor of Fengxue Tower with a relaxed expression. Behind them were Xiong Tianli's two disciples.
The person leading the way is the leader of the Juyi Sect who is currently responsible for taking over Fengxue Tower. He calls himself Lao He, and he was originally a deputy leader of the Juyi Sect who worked his way through through qualifications.
But now that the mainstay of the Juyi Sect, Master Yang, has died at the hands of the Demon Lord, he must obey the arrangements of other forces, otherwise the Juyi Sect without the main character will inevitably collapse.
"Master, Sect Master Xiong, please take a seat! Someone, please bring up the list of spies of the Demon Sect!"
I saw Lao He leading Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli to the place with a diligent look on his face. The first seat in the main hall, He arranged for his subordinates to bring some records and documents over, in order to report the investigation results after they took control of Fengxue Tower with the help of various factions, so as not to leave a single remnant of the Demon Sect here, and not to wrongly accuse any good person. .
"Have you finished interrogating the original staff of Fengxue Tower? Do you know the ins and outs of the Blood Cultivator Demon Lord?"
After hearing this, Xiong Tianli leaned on the chair above him and asked the person in front of him seriously. Old man He.
"Sect Master Xiong, the experts from all factions can't pry those people open, what can we do? However, we have caught some spies who used to be lackeys for the Demon Sect in the town. They know a little about the Demon Sect. situation, but it is also impossible to Confirm the authenticity..."
The old man picked up the record document presented by one of his subordinates and spread it out, handing it to Xiong Tianli and Wang Zhifan for inspection. Xiong Tianli looked at it more seriously, while Wang Zhifan glanced at it casually. Put them down.
"Mr. He, how is the situation in the town now? How do the people react to the demon slaying?"
Wang Zhifan is now more concerned about the situation of the civilians in Hutou Town. When he came here just now, he briefly observed the residents in Hutou Town and felt that the situation was obviously not as good as that in Pingwu City.
"The leader calls me Lao He. The people in Hutou Town are a little panicked at the moment, but as long as we eradicate all the spies of the Demon Sect, we will definitely be able to return to normal in time. The people in the town are talking about convenience the most. It's a matter of slaying demons, and your amazing magical skills, the leader ..."
When Old Man He saw Wang Zhifan asking questions, he did not dare to be negligent at all because he was very young. When they met just now, Xiong Tianli introduced that this man was the first to kill the demon and the future Fengxue Tower. The leader, otherwise he would not directly call Wang Zhifan the leader.
"People are panicked...well...that's normal..."
Wang Zhifan nodded after hearing this, then a look of thought appeared on his face, and he said again:
< br>
"I heard that people often pray to gods and worship Buddha. If they can't feel at ease because of the demon sect for a long time, it's better to burn incense and worship more than to be secretly frightened."
"This... palm What I said is absolutely true! Go and make arrangements as soon as possible!"
Old man He was slightly stunned after hearing this. He probably didn't understand why the new boss gave such advice, but what the other person said was not too weird. Just act accordingly.
On the other hand, Xiong Tianli, who was still reading the interrogation records in the chair next to him, was attracted. He raised his head and turned to look at Wang Zhifan, expressing his doubts.
"Brother Wang, you are so young, but you also know how to pray to gods and worship Buddha? I didn't realize it in the past..."
For these powerful sect leaders, the so-called praying to gods and Buddhas can be said to be a joke. They believe that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, and using an iron fist to create a field of geniuses is the mainstream idea.
“Haha, Sect Master Xiong misunderstood. I just remembered some scenes I saw when I was traveling outside. I found that many common people who suffered were accustomed to praying to gods and Buddhas for comfort, although I didn’t see them. Until the gods and Buddhas really showed up to help them, but many of them People's moods have become much calmer after worshiping..."
Wang Zhifan explained the reason for his suggestion just now, saying that he was not the kind of person who expected to rely on illusory existence, but he believed that ordinary people could pass through it. There is nothing wrong with obtaining spiritual salvation in this way.
"Well... what Brother Wang said makes some sense... This method will help stabilize the people of the sect, but you need to be careful not to be taken advantage of by the evil priests of the Demon Sect. Those vicious guys can be said to be pervasive..."
Xiong Tianli did not forget to beware of the Demon Sect on this topic. This shows how deeply he hates the Demon Sect. This made Wang Zhifan feel that he might have to pay more attention to how he spreads his faith here in the future, so as not to be targeted by this old man. lead to misunderstanding.
After speaking, the sect leader looked at the two disciples standing steadily next to him and sent them out to work.
"Xun'er, Qing'er, you first go and get familiar with the places outside. When the landlord Wang is away, this town will have to rely on you to guard against the magic door. There must be no mistakes."< br>
“Obey! Master!”< br>
"Disciple, please resign now!"
The two young disciples were not at all reluctant after hearing this. They did not want to stand around and waste time. They were still the first in Hutou Town. I came here once, and I was a little curious anyway.
Lao He, who was also standing here waiting, saw this and quickly called a shrewd subordinate to guide them so that they could become familiar with the working environment behind as soon as possible.
After his apprentice left, Xiong Tianli told Wang Zhifan about his vigilance against the Demon Sect's revenge, because he inferred from the records and documents obtained by Old Man He through interrogation that there might still be quite a lot of hidden secrets in Hutou Town. Demonic forces.
It’s just that they have suffered a blow recently and are temporarily dormant. Once the big figures of the Demon Sect react later, it is difficult to say that one day a bone boat will not bring thousands of demon disciples to carry out massacres. "It doesn't matter, Sect Leader Xiong, I'm very familiar with the tricks of the Demon Sect. Let me eradicate their dens one by one, so that they can no longer cause any trouble in Hutou Town."
< br>
Seeing that Wang Zhifan looked more confident than Xiong Tianli, a local, he directly stated that he wanted to eradicate all the power of the Demon Sect in the current territory, which made Old He who was waiting next to him couldn't help but feel a little cursed. .
"Although this young leader is strong, he is a little too arrogant. The methods of the Demon Sect are so treacherous and unpredictable. Being able to dig out a key spy of the Demon Sect is an eye-opener. It is impossible to eradicate all the power of the Demon Sect. To be realistic... Sure enough, being young and energetic is not enough. He will definitely have to rely on me if he really gets things done in the future. This old man..."
Old He was thinking so in his heart, but there was no abnormality on his face. He seemed to be extremely respectful to Wang Zhifan in front of him, but he did not expect that Wang Zhifan would then make arrangements for him and ask him He immediately led him around the Fengxue Tower, saying that he was going to start investigating the spies of the Demon Sect.
"Brother Wang, why are you in a hurry? The spies of the Demon Sect will not write their identities on their faces. It is useless for you to look for them in such a hurry. Why don't you listen to what I have to say first? ”
Xiong Tianli immediately heard this He replied very speechlessly. He originally wanted to teach Wang Zhifan some experience in personal management of the sect, but that was a treatment that only his two direct disciples had. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhifan didn't care at all, and he stood up and asked Old Man He Went to lead the way.
In response, Xiong Tianli shook his head and sighed in his heart:
"After all, he is a young man, and his work is not very reliable, but he is surprisingly strong. We really need his help in fighting against the Demon Sect..."
This is what Xiong Tianli and other local power leaders are so enthusiastic about, and Wang Zhifan takes over. wind and snow Lou's reason, it's not that they have unreasonable affection and trust for Wang Zhifan, they just think that this kid is a comrade, decent and terrifyingly strong, so they must find a way to win over him and let Wang Zhifan share the burden of their coming from the Demon Sect. pressure.
But why doesn’t Wang Zhifan know what they really think? These people have their own calculations, and he also has his own selfish motives and plans.
To be more specific, by taking charge of Hutou Town, he will gradually turn this place into a source of power of his faith. Even if it does not succeed in the end, he will still have to accumulate some valuable experience and explore a good route for his future plans. .
There are two main reasons why he is so persistent in practicing faith in this world:
First, although there are no gods in this world, some folk beliefs about gods and Buddhas do exist. That is to say, the new belief goal he promotes has the possibility of being accepted by the majority of indigenous people. It will not be as difficult as on the urban planet. Let’s face it, no one can accept the mere act of proposing faith.
The second is that the people in this world have very high "quality" in terms of belief. After all, it is a fantasy world with extraordinary power. The average strength of people's souls here is higher than that of many ordinary worlds, even the most ordinary ones. The power of faith generated by the residents is also relatively pure, let alone those powerful beings.
Although Wang Zhifan currently has no cultivator who believes in him, he knows with his toes that the power of faith that such a person can provide must be far beyond that of ordinary people.
The only problem is that it is very difficult for this kind of people to provide faith. Due to the characteristics of the world, they are mostly the type who believe more in themselves. Unless they encounter a particularly big problem, they will not ask for help from empty gods and Buddhas.
Just when Sect Master Xiong, who stayed in the hall and read the files, felt slightly disappointed with Wang Zhifan, Wang Zhifan had already stepped onto the fourth floor of Fengxue Tower under the leadership of Old Man He.
There are not many traces of the battle here now. Special personnel have done the cleaning work, and Wang Zhifan found that the various furniture and furnishings inside seemed to have changed a lot. It seemed to be much emptyer than when he came to slay demons.
"Mr. He, I remember the last time I came here, there were not so few things in the building. Were most of the appliances damaged and cleared out, or were they sold to someone?"
Wang Zhifan glanced across the empty layout on the fourth floor and asked Lao Hefa who was leading the way.
Lao Hetou looked a little helpless when he heard this. Without too much hesitation, he turned to Wang Zhifan and said:
"Master, in fact, our people also didn't do anything when they first came here. That's not the case, but the people from Fazen Temple and Liusha Sword Sect who initially controlled this place always made small moves during the handover!
Not only did they drag away some of the valuable furniture and utensils, but they also moved the original library and warehouse of Fengxue Tower. It is said that they contributed a lot to the battle of slaying the demons, so they must Get a piece of the pie..."
"Is there such a thing? But it is considered normal and there is no need to worry too much. ”
Unlike what Old Man He thought, the leader Wang Zhifan would be very angry after hearing this, in fact Wang Zhifan didn’t care much when he heard this kind of thing. He didn’t even ask for more details. He didn’t care about other sects. He didn't think much about intentionally taking things that should belong to him, especially he didn't express his attitude towards the loss of the silver coins and the skills.
This is because what he really values is not these external things, and he doesn't want to lose the silver coins. It shouldn't be too easy to get some. He has no shortage of magic skills, let alone any good skills in the small Fengxue Tower. Even if he had the time to practice, he still has two magic skills in his head and has no energy. To get started, I’m afraid the two techniques I’m practicing are also The practice is endless.
What he really values is being able to control this territory, especially being able to influence the people here, so that they can gradually produce some precious things for him and fill in the blank areas in the grand plan.
In this way, Wang Zhifan, under the leadership of Old Man He, quickly figured out the detailed layout of Fengxue Tower, especially the people in various responsible departments.
For example, the accountant in the warehouse who makes abacus, the big man who makes iron in the iron shop, the secret guard who secretly guards some of the magic sect's spies in the underground secret passage, basically he knows what every corner of Fengxue Tower looks like. After figuring it out, I'm waiting to go to Hutou Town to investigate.
"Mr. He, I will give you a list later. Please help me call them over. I have something to say to them."
Wandering After a lap, Old Man He found that his young leader was ready to work. In his opinion, this should be the first sign of the new leader taking office. He wanted to show his presence as the new leader, so he immediately had nothing to say. Agree.
However, what Old Man He didn't know was that Wang Zhifan didn't ask him to call people to convene a meeting with his core subordinates, but that he planned to use efficient methods to eliminate all existing hidden dangers.
As for how he determines that the people he calls are all hidden dangers, he has to rely on some professional props.
I saw him using Qinggong to quickly return to the living room. Unexpectedly, a simple thread-bound book appeared in his hand. It was the epic destiny hexagram book that he had not taken out for a while.
"Gua Shu, count all the spies in Fengxue Tower for me."
He wrote first on the page.
