C329 Invite to fight (1)

"We found some traces of blood on a mountain, as well as some traces of it being buried!" Zhao Yiyang said with a dark face, his tone slightly unfriendly, yet carrying a trace of anger.

"Oh? Who are they? " Zhan Zhixin asked.

"From the clothing, it should be the people of the Blood Illusion Valley!" Zhao Yiyang immediately explained.

"How did he die?" Zhan Zhixin continued to ask.

"From the corpses, there are obvious contusion wounds and sharp wooden spikes at the bottom of the pit. Compared to the traps set by someone, the whole army was killed. Moreover, some people were buried alive and suffocated. That means they still have a breath left before they die!" Zhao Yiyang explained it concisely.

"Can you tell how long it has been?" Zhan Zhixin thought for a moment before asking.

"About one or two days. I need the people from the seventh branch to check the details!" Zhao Yiyang thought about it, then shook his head and said uncertainly to Zhan Zhixin.

"Anything else?" Zhan Zhixin did not blame him. After all, there was an expert in the field of martial arts who was in charge of intelligence, and one of them was not an expert in criminal cases.

Not too far away, there is another valley. A large amount of blood was found and more than a dozen corpses were found nearby. However, they were either badly mutilated or in pieces. Zhao Yiyang nodded his head, indicating that he had more information, and continued to speak.

"Grudge between the martial arts world?" Is it still related to that silver tael? " Zhan Zhixin asked indifferently. He seemed to be asking Zhao Yiyang, but was actually asking himself.

"Are we dealing with the grudges between the martial arts world here?" I wouldn't believe it even if I were beaten to death. " Zhao Yiyang shook his head and said with certainty.

"I don't believe it either. If they really came for that silver, then it means that there is more than one group of people after that huge sum of money!" Hmph, looks like the flies are sniffing! No one can stop it! " Zhan Zhixin muttered to himself for a long time before suggesting what seemed to be the most probable scenario.

"Are we going to start a search?" Zhao Yiyang's eyes lit up, and he suggested.

"No rush, tomorrow will be a good day!" Zhan Zhixin suddenly revealed a strange smile, he stared at the south and slowly started to speak.

At the same time, Gongsun Ztian was also speeding up, trying to reach their destination by nightfall. On one hand, Gongsun Ze Tian also wanted to see the overall quality of this army. On the other hand, he also wanted to see the reaction of the Fifth Department Chief, Lei Sheng.

Whether an army's quality was too tough or whether their overall fighting strength was strong, these didn't necessarily need to be seen through the way they fought. Rather, they could be found from the usually inconspicuous details, such as the basic behavior of standing, lying, and walking.

Running and marching, on the other hand, was an expression that could best see the stamina and quality of an army. No one would fall behind, and the formation would never disperse.

Other than that, Gongsun Ze Tian really wanted to see Director Lei Sheng's reaction. Although he didn't know how he would react to his arrival, with the sudden visit, he should be able to see through some clues and see through the real him, right?

As the saying goes, one knows one's own enemy and one will not die after hundreds of battles'. Right now, he was not clear on the information related to this Chief Lei, and it was likely that the other party did not know him as well. Under such circumstances, anyone who knew more about the other party would have an additional chance of victory.

"The person in charge over there should be the fifth branch chief, Lei Sheng, right?" Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly asked Great Clan Elder Cui Ziyi.

"The intelligence work is very good!" Cui Ziyi did not look at Gongsun Ze Tian, but continued to push his horse forward, and spoke without turning his head.

"Is he easy to talk to?" Gongsun Ztian continued to ask. It was not like he was cheating, because from the moment the match between the two was decided, the two could already be considered as having entered into a hostile situation with each other. In other words, the official competition had already begun from that time onwards, there was no need for him to be merciful towards the enemy.

"Almost like a shadow! His temper is just as bad and his personality is just as stubborn! " Cui Ziyi said as the corner of his mouth rose. Although he could see through Gongsun Ze Tian's intentions, he did not expose this method of doing so. Instead, he felt a little admiration for this guy. As the successor to the Surveillance Council in the future, he should have this kind of method to deal with things, otherwise how could he survive in this chaotic world?

One had to know that it was impossible for a gentleman to accomplish anything. Someone who could accomplish something was either a hero or a tyrant. However, had anyone ever seen a hero in history, be it a tyrant or a tyrant, do they know how to behave like a gentleman? That was obviously impossible. Heroes sought fame, were tyrannical and greedy, and liked fame. How could they be considered gentlemen?

Xiang Yu was praised as a 'hero' by his descendants, but he had killed many in the battlefield, cutting down countless heads of the enemy chiefs. This kind of person was probably not even close to a 'gentleman', right? Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang, peerless and formidable, their way of speaking was like farting and running trains. Even if a true gentleman saw this, he would probably run away with his arms around his head, right?

It could only be said that a gentleman was so stupid and naive!

"Shadow and I are very compatible!" Gongsun Ztian thought for a while, then shamelessly said to Cui Ziyi.

Shadow could talk with him, but that was also because of Gongsun Zaitian's coaxing. If not for the fact that Gongsun Zaitian beat him up miserably and used some novel and strange assassination techniques to tempt Shadow, how could Shadow have been able to talk with others based on his temperament?

"That's because you've beaten him!" Cui Ziyi turned his head and looked at Gongsun Ze Tian with contempt. His disdain was obvious in his eyes, if his eyes could turn into ten thousand swords, it would definitely pierce through Gongsun Ze Tian's heart. Cui Ziyi said to Gongsun Zaitian with a slightly angry tone.

"I can also beat this' Thunder Lord 'into submission!" Gongsun Ze Tian thought about it again and felt that Cui Ziyi's words made a lot of sense. He then nodded his head and replied to Cui Ziyi.

"Damn it!" Cui Ziyi did not get angry, he only shook his head, and threw out a word.

"Why? Could it be that his skill level was higher than Shadow's? Are you Surveillance Council people that powerful? " Gongsun Ze Tian was a little confused. He did not understand what Cui Ziyi meant by 'not good enough'. However, his body was almost fully recovered. Even if the shadow was split into two, he would still be able to beat up half of his body. Could it be that Lei Sheng's skill was even stronger than Shadow's? Ever since he sparred with Elder Cui Zifeng from the Surveillance Council, Gongsun Ze Tian had more or less predicted the strength of the Surveillance Council. He didn't think that a person at the level of a second chief would have a higher skill than an elder.

"It's someone from our Surveillance Council, please mind your words!" Cui Ziyi glared at Gongsun Ze Tian, and stressed with a firm tone. This brat still did not consider himself to be someone from the Surveillance Council, and considered himself as someone from outside. He simply did not put this Chief Elder in his eyes at all.

"Mm, alright, I'll pay attention next time!" Gongsun Ztian sincerely nodded his head and admitted his mistake.

"It's not that Lei Sheng's power exceeds the shadow, it's because the shadow is mainly in charge of assassinations and you couldn't even take one of his advantages while fighting him one-on-one, which is why the shadow is convinced." Cui Ziyi saw that Gongsun Ze Tian's attitude towards admitting his fault was good, and did not pursue the matter further, and continued to answer to the words that Gongsun Ze Tian had said before.

"Then I can also beat Lei Sheng to a point where even his mother wouldn't recognize him!" Gongsun Ze Tian probably understood Lei Sheng's true strength. He estimated that he was only one or two levels higher than his Third Uncle, and might not even be able to reach the level of Shadow's true strength. Therefore, Gongsun Ztian said with an excited expression.

"No, with Lei Sheng's temper, even if you beat him until his mother doesn't recognize him, he still won't be convinced!" Cui Ziyi flatly denied.

Putting aside the fact that Lei Sheng's thick skin and body was such that even if he were to beat him half to death, he might not even be convinced of the strength of those people, as there were all sorts of powerful martial arts in this world. If there was someone who could beat Lei Sheng up into a pig head, then that person would be convinced.

Furthermore, even if Gongsun Ze Tian beat up Lei Sheng, would those soldiers under Lei Sheng's command be willing? At that time, forget about dispatching them, even if they did not gang up on Gongsun Ze Tian, his Chief Elder's reputation would still be there.

"Why is that?" After hearing Cui Ziyi resolutely reject his suggestion, Gongsun Ze Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know what Lei Sheng is responsible for?" Cui Ziyi asked Gongsun Zaitian indifferently.

"I know, the Surveillance Council's offensive troops should all be in his hands!" Gongsun Zaitian nodded. He still had some information in this area, so he spoke frankly.

"That's right, he is one of the Surveillance Council's sharp swords. Although he is from the Surveillance Council, but you can ask your Third Uncle, no leader would treat him as a spy from the Surveillance Council. Putting Lei Sheng on the battlefield, he was an invincible general! Although the five great generals of the Empire do not have his name, none of them would dare to boast about their former brilliant military exploits in front of him, much less fight against him in a battle between two armies. For this matter, you can also find your Third Uncle to verify my words. " Cui Ziyi nodded his head to confirm Gongsun Zaitian's answer, and then continued to explain.

"So you're saying that only by defeating him in a battle in the military can he truly submit to me?" While listening to Cui Ziyi's words, Gongsun Ze Tian pondered for a long time. Finally, he asked Cui Ziyi a question.

Gongsun Ze Tian calculated for a long time. He wanted to find a simple and effective way to cut through, but it seemed like Lei Sheng was probably just a piece of 'rolling knife meat', and was probably quite difficult to deal with. It was better to avoid provoking such a person, but this matter was extremely urgent, and he had to not provoke him.

"Pretty much!" Cui Ziyi nodded and replied.

"So troublesome!" Gongsun Zaitian complained.

"The trouble is yet to come!" Cui Ziyi scoffed, and said to Gongsun Zaitian.
