Jiang Jiuyuan was also stunned. After a while, he said, "This is hard to say. The Monkey King's theft of the pagoda could be to cause trouble for Tang Hong, or it could be Tang Hong's deliberate arrangement, just to clear their relationship."

"The relationships between the Thieves' Guild are very complicated. Some people seem to have nothing to do with each other. They even argue when they meet. In fact, they are fellow disciples who work together to do business."

"In other words, the relationships between the Thieves' Guild are for outsiders to see. It's hard to say what the real relationship between the Monkey King and Tang Hong is."

I nodded and said, "After the city-wide pagoda sacrifice, has Ta City had any other problems?"

Chen Shuyu said, "After that pagoda sacrifice, Ta City was peaceful for a long time. It wasn't until the period of turmoil that the second incident occurred."

"For a while, the whole country was engaged in large-scale steelmaking. Some people set their sights on the iron pagoda. The production team at the time moved the iron pagoda again."

"That time, Ta City mobilized hundreds of people. As a result, strange things happened one after another as soon as they started moving the pagoda. Legends about the twin pagodas also spread like wildfire."

"However, the legends about the twin pagodas are very chaotic. There are four or five relatively reasonable versions alone, and even more outrageous legends. I'm still sorting them out."

"Okay!" I said in a deep voice, "I need to know the result."

Chen Shuyu said, "The result was that the two iron pagodas were sent back to their original places. Someone secretly worshipped the iron pagodas again, but this time the worship was on a small scale. The number of people involved in the worship should not have exceeded three digits, and it was done secretly."

"After that, the residents and merchants near the iron pagodas all moved away. The area became an open space."

Chen Shuyu's information should be a relatively reasonable account. During that period, feudal superstitions were opposed, so even if someone wanted to worship the pagoda, they wouldn't dare to do it openly.

I said in a deep voice, "There should be some connection between the two pagoda sacrifices. Can we find the key figure in the pagoda sacrifices?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, offering sacrifices to gods and worshipping at temples involves burning incense, kowtowing, and displaying offerings. However, sorcerers have specific procedures for offering sacrifices to gods, and they cannot be careless in the slightest.

If there was a special person who appeared in both pagoda sacrifices, that person would be the key to unraveling the secret of the iron pagodas.

Chen Shuyu said, "I'm investigating, but I don't have any clues yet!"

Chen Shuyu paused and said, "The place where Feng Ruoxing and the others disappeared is not at the twin iron pagodas, but their first target was the iron pagodas, and they stayed near the iron pagodas for about a day."

I said in a deep voice, "Feng Ruoxing is a well-known expert in the martial world. She wouldn't waste time in a meaningless place. There should be some clues at the twin iron pagodas. Let's go to the twin iron pagodas first."

I didn't speak, and no one in the car opened their mouths.

Lin Zhao secretly transmitted his voice, "Li Po, aren't you being too fierce to the two girls? They were scared just now."

I responded, "I don't like people who approach me with ulterior motives."

Lin Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment. Jiang Jiuyuan said timidly, "Hall Master, can I ask you for a favor?"

I said with a straight face, "Tell me."

"Can you spare the Dao Xian Men (Thieves Immortal Sect)?" Jiang Jiuyuan said in a low voice, "I can do anything for you, just please spare the Dao Xian Men."

"I can feel that you haven't valued the Dao Xian Men..."

I sneered, "Are you trying to say that I don't value the Dao Xian Men but I'm keeping them around, intending for them to die?"

"Yes!" Jiang Jiuyuan just softly agreed.

Then I said, "Everyone has to show their value in the group, otherwise, they can only be eliminated."

"I don't want to say anything else, let's just leave it at that!"

Jiang Jiuyuan was so frightened by me that she didn't dare to speak again.

Lin Zhao transmitted his voice again, "Li Po, how did you become so fierce? You weren't like this to the girls in the Two Realms Hall!"

Chen Shuyu quickly transmitted her voice, "Li Po's approach is correct. The Thieves' Guild has never shared life and death with the Two Realms Hall. Jiang Jiuyuan's request is an unreasonable condition for a superior."

"The Dao Xian Men enjoys the protection of the Two Realms Hall, but is unwilling to pay the corresponding value. Then, what does the Two Realms Hall need the Dao Xian Men for?"

"Jiang Jiuyuan's original intention to protect the Dao Xian Men may be good, but the Hall Master cannot agree."

"Once the Hall Master agrees, it would be equivalent to letting the Dao Xian Men use Jiang Jiuyuan as the price in exchange for the protection of the Two Realms Hall."

"This is not in the interests of the Two Realms Hall."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but rub my head, "After this mission, hurry up and get rid of these two girls. Let Lao Liu manage the matters of the thieves! My head hurts!"

Chen Shuyu smiled and said, "Our Hall Master doesn't not understand the martial world, nor does he not know how to be a Hall Master. It's just that he's unwilling to waste his energy on these things. He prefers the unrestrained chivalry of a wandering hero."

I replied to Chen Shuyu, "Don't call me Hall Master, just call me Li Po!" Then I leaned back in the car seat and closed my eyes.

Before I dozed off, I seemed to see Ye Yang smiling.

This showoff, he clearly wanted to ease the relationship between me and Chen Shuyu, but he didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for the result.

Slick!

Worthless!
