章節 13: Chapter 13: He is a Peak Golden Core Cultivator
"A Carriage driver?"
The Nascent Soul female cultivator hesitated for a moment, then seemed to understand something. "So, it's about that case again..."
"That case?" Now it was Luo Wusheng's turn to be confused.
"Did you hire a carriage driver to take you to the Royal City?" The masked Nascent Soul person said, "Was he wearing rough clothes, bald, and had a loud voice?"
Luo Wusheng nodded.
"Then it's him."
The Nascent Soul female cultivator nodded. "Since ten days ago, this person has been sending several people to the Royal City in this manner. Although the purpose is unclear, it doesn't seem to be harmful at the moment, so the case has been handed over to the city gate for investigation."
"But since we've met, I'll send someone to take you to the Royal City later. This carriage will also be sent to the gate by our people."
Luo Wusheng was a little confused.
How did he end up encountering such a strange thing just by taking a ride?
He also raised his eyes to scan the group of people in front of him— These people are probably part of the Royal City defense bureau, something akin to either the police, or border patrol.
"Excuse me, who are you?" asked Luo Wusheng, feeling quite curious about the group's identity.
Even inside the capital city of the Immortal Nation, a Nascent Soul stage cultivators were not a common sight, and most of them sat inside and managed important manners such as the whole Nation's security.
"You don't know us?" The masked people were clearly surprised.
"Are you famous?" Luo Wusheng asked back.
The mouth of the one who asked that question twitched.
In this day and age, there were still people who came to Royal City and didn't know them?
In the end, the leading female Nascent Soul cultivator broke the awkward silence.
The Nascent Soul cultivator coughed lightly and took out a small golden seal from her storage bag.
"Ahem, they are the [Red Robe Catcher] of my Immortal Nation's Six Gate Bureau. As for me— you can call me 'Kirin', who is one of the Seven Golden Ranked Members within the Six Gate Bureau."
The girl who called herself 'Kirin' showed the small golden seal in her hand, which had the ancient characters "Gold" engraved on it.
After the other party reported their identities, Luo Wusheng finally remembered this department within the Immortal Nation's system from his memory.
The Six Gate Bureau was a law enforcement agency directly governed by the Empress.
Ordinary Red Robe Catchers wore black and white masks, while the Nascent Soul members of the Six Gate Bureau were awarded with [Gold] seals, becoming Golden-Ranked members, and given unique masks and titles.
However, because they had no interaction with Luo Wusheng in the original work and there was no plot involving them in the earlier parts, he only just realized now what this attire meant.
"I see…. I'm new to the Immortal Nation and this is my first time dealing with someone from the Six Gate Bureau." Luo Wusheng smiled and greeted them.
"First time in the Immortal Nation... are you a disciple of the Demon Sect?" Kirin guessed where Luo Wusheng came from in an instant.
This was not difficult, after all, there were not many sects outside the Immortal Nation's borders.
The larger ones were the Buddhist and Demon Sects, while the smaller ones were just some hidden sects on the Immortal Nation.
And someone like Luo Wusheng, who looked like he was not even fifty years old but had already reached the Peak Golden Core stage realm and had the demeanor of a master, could only be from a large sect.
"Indeed, I am the Demon Sect's Holy Saint, Luo Wusheng. I am here in Royal City to take over the Demon Sect's Demon Artifact Pavilion." Luo Wusheng reported his background and mission without any hesitation.
But the Six Gate Bureau members around him suddenly fell silent.
Through the gaps left in their masks for their eyes, Luo Wusheng could see their strange expressions.
"Do you not believe me?"
Luo Wusheng quickly understood what the group of Six Gate Bureau was thinking.
"We believe you! Of course, we do! We believe you a lot!"
"The position of the head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion is prepared for the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect. You must work hard!"
"If you encounter any difficulties, remember to seek help from the city government. If it doesn't work, come to Six Gate Bureau, and we will definitely help you when we have time."
"By the way, you can go to the Nurturing Heart Hall in the east of the city when you have time to see their medicine. It has always been very effective."
The group of masked people spoke all at once, and someone even patted Luo Wusheng's shoulder from time to time.
Luo Wusheng's veins throbbed on his forehead.
Well, this was also the result he had expected.
Whether it was the Demon Sect or the Royal City, as long as they were not too outdated, they knew that the Demon Artifact Pavilion was not a good place to go.
How could the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect go to the Demon Artifact Pavilion?
Although there were rumors outside that the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was not very smart, since he is the Holy Saint, it's normal for him not to do something that would not benefit him at all, right?
"So, what are you doing here then? With Jin Zhang leading the team, it must not be for my small case over here, right?"
Luo Wusheng looked at the members of Six Gate Bureau.
Miss Kirin was still thinking about whether to stop her subordinates, but after hearing Luo Wusheng's question, she hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a secret— The Six Gate Bureau are investigating the recent appearance of Netherkin outside the city."
"Netherkin?"
Luo Wusheng raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, there have been a trace of Netherkin causing trouble outside the city in recent days. This Netherkin is very strange, and it can transform into a blood mist that can sweep over an area. Anyone who comes into contact with the blood mist will lose their spiritual energy and blood, and dozens of people have died so far."
"The Empress attaches great importance to this matter and orders us to investigate. She even designated me to be in charge of this matter. However, the Netherkin's escape technique is extraordinary, and even I find it difficult to find its whereabouts. I suspect it is a Netherkin in the Nascent Soul stage with strange abilities, or a Golden Core stage Netherkin that possesses special Artifacts."
Miss Kirin explained in a cold voice.
Luo Wusheng pondered.
Netherkin...
According to the original plot, the events that the Immortal Nation faced at this time should be...
He seemed to understand something.
'But even if I tell the truth, these guys who think I'm crazy won't believe it— Besides, this is an event where the protagonist in the Immortal Nation is showing her problem-solving talents. I can't do such a stupid thing as grabbing the protagonist's plot.'
Luo Wusheng thought in his heart.
"Do you have any clues?"
Seeing Luo Wusheng's expression, Miss Kirin keenly felt that this young man seemed to have thought of something.
But Luo Wusheng shook his head
"No, it's just that it feels a bit strange."
"Strange?"
"Since they only need to absorb spiritual energy and blood, why choose outside the Royal City? Wouldn't it be better to go to some rural areas?"
Miss Kirin nodded and spoke in a cold voice, "The Six Gate Bureau also considered this issue, but we also find it difficult to understand the thoughts of this Netherkin. Moreover, ordinary Netherkins themself tend to already have mental deficiencies, so it is not impossible for them to do things that are not reasonable."
"That might be the case."
Luo Wusheng thought to himself that he could only provide hints up to this point.
Anyway, everyone is just a supporting character, so there's no need to always try to steal the limelight from the main character.
Miss Kirin's eyes under the mask flickered, obviously wanting to say something more, but Luo Wusheng waved his hand and bowed.
"Since there's nothing else, the Royal City is right in front of us. I won't trouble you all to see me off. I'll take my leave."
He felt a vague sense of panic in his heart.
......
Watching Luo Wusheng's figure gradually disappear behind the city walls, a few sighs were heard from the Six Gate Bureau members present, except for Miss Kirin.
"It's really pitiful. He looks quite normal, but why did he get hysteria?"
"What a shame for that good-looking face. I hope his illness can be cured soon."
"It's already miserable enough to have hysteria, and yet he was still sent to take over the Demon Artifact Pavilion..."
"Perhaps only those who have gone mad would go to the Demon Artifact Pavilion."
"By the way, what is his cultivation level? I couldn't see it clearly just now. Could he be wearing a Strength-Concealing Artifact?"
Dong
The Red Robe Catchers instantly fell silent.
It was Miss Kirin who lightly tapped on the wooden board of the carriage.
"He is at the Peak of the Golden Core stage, and the age of his bones is less than fifty," Miss Kirin said calmly.
Clang
One of the Red Robe Catchers' masks fell to the ground in shock.
