Ximen Changqing frowned. Recently, the world of cultivators has been strangely quiet, with weirdness everywhere.
Although this is a great thing for the Ximen family and allows them to develop their strength quietly, he is always a little uneasy.
By searching Jiang Tianxie's soul, he learned the secret of the Immortal Zombie Sect. The only old monster named Nascent Soul, his lifespan was no longer enough.
The fire poison and soul damage not only restricted him from leaving the underground cave, but also allowed him to only exert the strength of the first level of Nascent Soul.
For this reason, even if he has a baby spirit item in his hand, he will never share it with his subordinates in order to maintain his absolute strength.
Generally, old monsters who are about to run out of life will change their personalities drastically, which is enough to cause a catastrophe, but Old Monster Jiang is too low-key, which is not the style that an old monster should have.
The five major sects were also very quiet. They already knew about the existence of the Immortal Zombie Sect, but they did not take any major action.
He did not even report the matter to the Spirit Sword Sect, but reported it to the Five Holy Lands through the channels of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Regarding this point, Ximen Changqing can also understand that the five major sects are worried that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
Once the report was really made, a large number of peak forces poured into the Eastern Wasteland, using the excuse of wiping out the remaining members of the Immortal Zombie Sect to turn them into vassals.
If this is really the case, there is nothing they can do. How can a mere Dan-Jie sect compete with the Nascent Soul Transformation?
The five major sects have been based in the Eastern Wasteland for hundreds of years and have long been accustomed to the life of the Tu Emperor. They are very reluctant to let the old monster Yuanying ride on their necks.
The main reason is that the Immortal Zombie Sect has not shown how powerful it is at the moment, and the sect masters have not appeared either.
They feel that their own strength is enough to cope with the current situation. Only when they really can't cope will they report to stronger forces and seek their support.
"The most active one in Donghuang right now is actually the Tianwu Sect far away in the East China Sea. It's getting more and more interesting."
Ximen Changqing smiled slightly.
"Master, the son of the head of the Tianwu Sect was attacked and killed, and there are rewards everywhere for him. This is human nature.
It's not a big move. In addition, there are rumors that the person who killed Lu Gaofei was a Danjie monk, and the five major sects are all suspected. "
Gu Junzhi explained that he had traveled around the five major sects and Xianyuan City in recent months, and he could see people from Tianwu Sect everywhere.
Ximen Changqing didn't say much. He didn't need to tell Gu Junzhi that Lu Gaofei killed him himself.
"By the way, Master, there is one more thing."
Gu Junzhi hesitated for a moment, as if he had not yet decided what to say.
"Speak directly without hesitation."
"Master, I feel like someone is watching the Ximen family. Maybe it's an illusion."
Gu Junzhi was not sure, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"How did you find out? Who asked you to check Ximen's house?"
Ximen Changqing immediately saw the problem. If Gu Junzhi didn't investigate the Ximen family, how would he know that someone was watching the Ximen family.
"The master is Elder Jiang Tianzheng. He is hiding in the secret place of the sect and dare not come out. All matters are left to his subordinates.
However, even if his subordinates find anything unusual, they will never tell him.
However, subordinates must report regularly and can only check and report some insignificant matters. "
Gu Junzhi answered seriously, not daring to deceive Ximen Changqing.
"Oh, how did you find out that someone was staring at Ximen's house? Even if it is an illusion, there must be some basis for it."
Ximen Changqing asked seriously.
"Master, I was at Qingyangfang Restaurant and saw a few people casually looking at Ximen's shop. I didn't care at first.
But then I went to Linhaifang and found these people again in the restaurant opposite Ximen's shop. The same thing happened twice, and my subordinates became suspicious. "
Regarding the suspicions in his heart, Gu Junzhi felt that it was better to speak out proactively to avoid being accused of not reporting what he knew if something happened to Ximen's family in the future.
"It seems that those people have the same purpose as you! Could they be someone else sent by Jiang Tianzheng?"
"It's impossible. If he's from the Immortal Zombie Sect, he can't escape the eyes of his subordinates, and he won't be from Yunjian Mountain either."
Ximen Changqing nodded and said sternly: "This matter is very important. You can investigate it secretly. Remember not to alert the enemy, and report any progress in a timely manner."
"Yes, Master, I understand."
"By the way, why does Jiang Tianzheng want to investigate the Ximen family? Do you know the reason?"
"Master, not only the Ximen family, but also the thirteen foundation-building families occupying Jiguan Mountain must be investigated. The Ximen family must be taken care of.
Elder Tianzheng's junior brother Jiang Tianxie was killed in Jiguan Mountain. The elder wanted to confirm whether it was the Thirteen Foundation-Building Family's joint efforts. "
Gu Junzhi answered truthfully, with the slightest intention of asking.
"I can tell you that the evil cultivators in Jiguan Mountain are not the fault of the Thirteen Foundation Establishment Family, and this matter has nothing to do with them."
Ximen Changqing frowned and explained, and asked: "Think carefully, is there anything else that has not been reported?"
Gu Junzhi frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Master, I found that Elder Jiang Tianzheng seems to have some scruples about the Ximen family.
He strictly ordered his subordinates to investigate secretly and not to provoke anyone from the Ximen family or bring trouble to the sect. "
Hearing this, Ximen Changqing smiled. Perhaps the sudden appearance of the Sky-Breaking Hammer weapon spirit frightened the ancestor of the Immortal Zombie Sect.
Back then, Ximen Potian fell, and his body was in front of the mountain gate, but the Hammer disappeared under the nose of the old monster who transformed the gods.
In this way, many people speculated that Ximen Potian was not dead. Perhaps the appearance of Old Turtle deepened Jiang Laoji's suspicion.
"That's fine. Let the Patian Ancestors scare Old Monster Jiang. At least it can keep the Ximen family safe for a while."
Ximen Changqing thought so in his heart, but there was no trace of it on the surface.
"Jiang Tianzheng asked you to investigate the Ximen family, and you are really good at choosing people. God has blessed our Ximen family. You must continue to win Jiang Tianzheng's trust and strive to become his confidant."
"Yes, Master, I understand."
Someone was secretly watching Ximen's house, which made Ximen Changqing feel a haze in his heart. If Gu Junzhi hadn't reported it, he wouldn't have known about it.
This shows how important it is to have a reliable intelligence system.
There are too few people in the Ximen family. To maintain the family business, there is already insufficient manpower. Naturally, it is not suitable to allocate personnel to engage in intelligence.
In this case, this matter can only be left to Gu Junzhi, and let him develop personnel and be responsible for collecting intelligence.
"Gu Junzhi, I plan to set up an organization that specializes in collecting intelligence. At the initial stage, it will be enough to recruit thirty or fifty people. They will be mainly responsible for the Yue Kingdom. What do you think?"
"The master is wise."
"This intelligence organization is called Tianyan Pavilion. It is currently only responsible for collecting intelligence. You will be the head of the pavilion and you will develop the members yourself. I will provide the necessary funds."
Ximen Changqing stated his plan seriously.
"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation. I am willing to share your worries with you."
Gu Junzhi readily accepted the task and became the master of Tianyan Pavilion.
"Here are three hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones, two hundred second-grade high-grade healing White Moon Pills, and three hundred Qi Gathering Pills. You can take them first."
Ximen Changqing spent a lot of resources in one breath and continued: "We must be cautious in developing members, ability comes second, and loyalty comes first.
No member is allowed to know the existence of me and the Ximen family. They just need to be responsible for their work. "
"Master, don't worry. I know what to do. I will investigate those mysterious people who are staring at the Ximen family as soon as possible."
Gu Junzhi said seriously.
After continuing to explain, Gu Junzhi sent Feizhou to leave, and Ximen Changqing also went to Linhaifang.
