Chapter 105 Rewards
"We haven't investigated it yet."

"This time, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect set out to attack Mangshan, but was discovered by the King of the East Sea, who also captured a venerable."

"But the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is extremely cunning. No matter the gravekeeper, the Imperial Observatory, or the government office, they have not been able to find his whereabouts."

Governor Zhou looked embarrassed and explained.

It's no wonder that he's been hiding and hiding for six hundred years, and he hasn't been caught in this situation.

Chu Wujiang coughed twice, sneered and said:

"Governor, that's not the case."

"There is one person who definitely knows the whereabouts of the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts."

Since the old Taoist priest was invited by the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he must know the relevant information.

Governor Zhou smiled bitterly:
"You should know that the gentleman needs to repay his kindness and settle the cause and effect."

"Benfu doesn't even know who he is."

Chu Wujiang deliberately showed a hint of anger:
"More than 30,000 people died in Longcheng, the Huo family lost their son, and the Chu family lost their men."

"Just in the encirclement and suppression of the Ghost King, more than ten Yuandan realm masters died in the battle, including those from the Jingping Marquis family, the Huo family, and the government office."

“There have been funerals these days.”

"Isn't this enough?"

Every Yuandan realm master is considered a backbone force and has a high status. They are not ordinary people.

Governor Zhou sighed:

"Lord Longcheng, from my perspective, even Yuanshen Zhenren should cooperate with the investigation."

“But it’s definitely not enough.”

"The Yuanshen Zhenren is a person from heaven. When the saint comes to the court, they can still be respectful."

"How can you listen to us now?"

The Yuanshen Zhenren can no longer be described as human nuclear weapons. They are beyond the limits of what the organization can resist.

Millions of troops and powerful cavalry generals may still have some hope of dealing with warriors in the Yuanling realm, but forget about it as they are living immortals who are Yuanshen masters.

When Emperor Hao was still handling state affairs, the Yuanshen Zhenren could still maintain a higher level of reverence. But now, with the ominous rumors about Emperor Hao in his later years, the actions of the Yuanshen Zhenren have gradually become bolder.

In a sense, the old Taoist's behavior can also be regarded as a temptation.

The imperial court was unwilling to punish Yuanshen Zhenren for such a trivial matter.

So the leader of Taoism took punitive measures and made him face the wall for ten years.

[If you don’t become a spirit, you will always be an ant. 】

[Even if they are from a noble family, they are only slightly better off than ordinary people.]

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and realized that it was impossible to hold the old Taoist priest accountable, or even ask him to reveal who the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was.

So many of you have died, how can it be as important as his devotion to the Tao?

The Wan Gui Sect has become increasingly powerful over the years, and this may have something to do with it.

After Chu Wujiang thought it through, he said:

"Governor, I understand."

"If we find the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, will that person in heaven stop us?"

Don't leave any trouble behind.

Chu Wujiang destroyed Yuanshen Zhenren's plan to repay his gratitude. Not only will the old Taoist priest remember him, the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is also likely to come for revenge.

As long as he died, the possibility of the old Taoist being affected by the Ten Deadly Fates would be greatly reduced.

So Chu Wujiang will definitely try his best to kill the other party.

Governor Zhou hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Of course you can."

“It’s just going to be a little bit troublesome.”

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized and sneered:
"Ahem, Chu understands."

"The old Taoist priest will not reveal the whereabouts of the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts himself. At the same time, if someone finds the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he can repay the favor."

"Maybe we can take this opportunity to settle the cause and effect."

"What a good plan, ahem."

Governor Zhou's eyes widened. He understood the whole story only after he had the information from the Prime Minister. He did not expect that Lord Longcheng could guess the Taoist's plan clearly after just listening for a short while.

[No wonder the Prime Minister was willing to give him a Tianya Haijiao Talisman. Even an official at the level of a governor would find it difficult to obtain such a treasure, and it would cost a huge price.]

Originally, Governor Zhou did not think that Chu Wujiang relied on his own abilities to escape from Yuanshen Zhenren and ascend to heaven.

But now it seems that he saved Longzhou with his own abilities.

"Lord Longcheng is right."

"So we are still tracking him down, but even if we find him, we dare not kill him directly." "Once that sir returns the favor, we can kill him completely."

This is also the tacit understanding reached between the imperial court and the noble families.

In a sense, if you capture the leader of Ten Thousand Ghosts, you will get double the reward.

One belongs to the imperial court, and the other belongs to Taoism.

Because the Taoist sect will definitely offer conditions to help their own people successfully escape from the cause and effect and allow the noble families to catch them again.

Chu Wujiang coughed and nodded:
"The Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts may escape for a while, but he cannot escape forever."

"As long as he stays in Longzhou, ahem, he will fall into the hands of the law one day."

Governor Zhou nodded repeatedly, and then seemed to have thought of something:
"Besides that, there is one last thing."

"This time, Lord Longcheng delivered the news in time, saving the gravekeeper and Longzhou. Counting the matter of the Ghost King, his contribution is great."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has specially issued an imperial edict to reward a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, ten spiritual weapons of various kinds, one Jade Liquid Spirit Pill, three Dragon and Tiger Pills, and five gourds of Qianyuan Pills."

Chu Wujiang seemed a little dissatisfied after hearing this.

The reward from the court is not bad. For example, the Jade Liquid Elixir can greatly improve the efficiency of condensing the elixir, which is enough to create a Yuandan realm master.

The Chu Mansion does not have this kind of elixir now, such as the Dragon-Tiger Pill and the Qianyuan Pill.

In order to reward meritorious officials and train subordinates, the imperial court also monopolized a large amount of medicinal materials and alchemy rooms to supply masters who defected to the court.

Over the past six hundred years, the Chu family has not discovered many methods of refining pills. What they have are just general Qi-replenishing pills, Yuan-nourishing pills and the like, which are low-end products.

Things like the Baicao Dan and Xueshen Wan that Chu Wujiang gave to others were mostly bought from the market and were expensive.

Therefore, the reward from the court cannot be said to be low.

Chu Wujiang could also guess the rewards for other families. For sacrificing a Yuandan realm master, the court would reward them with 1 to 2 Yuye Lingdan as a reward.

With the Jade Liquid Elixir, the cultivation of the Yuan Dan realm can be accelerated.

The problem is that these things can now only be used to train subordinates.

Governor Zhou seemed to see Chu Wujiang's depression, and then whispered:

"These are all rewards from the court."

"His Royal Highness does not think it is enough to prove your merits."

"He sent a few things over privately."

"One is the [Spirit-Enriching Pill] that is used to nourish the Yuan Dan, and the other is a precious weapon called the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword."

Chu Wujiang was shocked. He didn't think that his contribution was worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favor and even the gift of precious weapons.

I'm afraid there is another purpose behind this.

Either His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants him to carry out a special mission, or he values ​​the Dragon and Tiger Order in his hand.

In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can use the Dragon and Tiger Order to win over the Taoist sect.

Yuanji Academy supports the prince, while the attitudes of Taoism and Buddhism are quite ambiguous.

"Your Highness is so kind to me, how can I bear this?"

Governor Zhou smiled slightly:
"Well-deserved, well-deserved."

"As long as Lord Longcheng is willing."

The struggle in Tianjing is probably very fierce now, and everyone is making arrangements for Di Hao's funeral.

The Chu family is not particularly strong, but they are also a local power and are worth winning over.

Chu Wujiang didn't want to get involved in the struggle in Tianjing, so he asked in a deep voice:
"Governor, is there anything I can do for your Highness?"

"I'm afraid Chu is not up to the task."

Governor Zhou shook his head and chuckled:

"Don't worry, Lord Longcheng. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man who would never be so fussy."

"It is only because I see that you have shared the country's worries and are loyal to state affairs that I have given you a few rewards."

"Lord Longcheng, just accept it with peace of mind."

No requirements at all?

Free is often the most expensive, but the Chu family doesn’t seem to have any right to be picky.

After hearing this, Chu Wujiang agreed:

"Okay! Please ask the Governor to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of Chu."

If there is really something wrong with Your Highness the Crown Prince, at worst I will make you my monarch.

I will use ten lives to send you on your way.

Perhaps this is the correct way to open the golden finger.
