When Luo Wusheng and Old Wang left the Six Gate Bureau, there was a lot less worry on their faces.
The Six Gate Bureau had decided to set up a trap at the Demon Artifact Pavilion tomorrow to capture the Netherkin, should they show up at that event to cause harm to the event participant.
'...Or rather, Miss Kirin agreed to it.'
In their recent discussion, Luo Wusheng learned why Night Crow said there wouldn't be a problem once Miss Kirin agreed.
As the person in charge of dealing with Netherkin, Miss Kirin had received a special High-Grade Artifact bestowed by the Empress herself to deal with such situations.
However, the activation conditions for this Artifact were not simple.
Not only did it require half a day for a Nascent Soul cultivator to prepare it, but once it's prepared, it would enter an active state. Once the active state ended, it would fall into a long period of dormancy.
This was a definitive Artifact that would only be used when the presence of a Netherkin's harmful action within the Royal City was confirmed.
Normally, it would not be activated based on mere speculation.
But Luo Wusheng successfully persuaded Miss Kirin.
Remembering the shocked expressions on the faces of the two Nascent Souls after hearing the significant intelligence he provided, Luo Wusheng's lips curled up slightly.
'...Next, it's time to recruit some strong men...'
Luo Wusheng contemplated as he led Old Wang to the secret locations mentioned in the intelligence provided by his Junior Sister.
Recruiting strong men posed no obstacles at all.
Although these undercover agents of the Demon Sects belonged to different Domain and were subordinates of various elders within the Demon Sects, it was exceptionally easy for Luo Wusheng to bring them under his command.
Once the Holy Saint token was revealed to them, they immediately knelt down.
No matter how high the positions of their elders were, were they higher than the Holy Saint?
After demonstrating his power, Luo Wusheng also promised rewards far beyond what the undercover agents received.
Nowadays, these peripheral disciples can't wait to show off their skills at the Demon Artifact Pavilion.
They have been mingling in the Royal City these days, so how could they not know what their own Holy Saint has been up to?
It's obvious that following the current Holy Saint will bring them benefits!
After instructing the old king to take these people back, Luo Wusheng sighed as he walked down the street.
Although there were quite a few of them, they still didn't meet the standards.
Especially their cultivation levels were too low, mostly at the Qi Refining stage, just beginning their cultivation journey.
'Well, It's better to attract less attention when working as undercover agents, especially in the Royal City. There aren't many high-level cultivators in the Demon Sect who are willing to come here...'
He initially thought there would be a few Foundation Establishment cultivators he could exploit, but now it seemed like he was expecting too much.
"But this is still not enough..."
A group of Qi Refining cultivators would have to take turns working, otherwise, they would soon be overwhelmed, just slightly stronger than ordinary mortals.
In this way, the number of people was still an issue.
However, one advantage of using this group of undercover agents was that they often had the need for disguises. Most of them were familiar with tasks similar to sales, so they wouldn't be too flustered.
'Supporting them for a while won't be a problem, but the longer it goes on, the higher the probability of problems...'
If they encountered customers with higher cultivation levels, these low-level cultivators would naturally reveal their fear.
It was a bit embarrassing to rely heavily on them.
"It would be great if I could have a few Foundation Establishment cultivators that I'm familiar with..."
......
Luo Wusheng never expected that he would actually find familiar Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And they came to him on their own.
Sitting in a private room of a teahouse, Luo Wusheng, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, looked at the several men in the attire of scattered cultivators in front of him with a complex expression in his eyes.
"Dahai, are you really planning to work at my Demon Artifact Pavilion?"
Upon hearing his question, the leading man, a refined-looking scholar dressed in white, patted his chest in a bold manner.
"Naturally! Brother Luo and I have a relationship since we both have seen those things together. Now that Brother Luo has some troubles, how can we brothers not come to help?"
He downed a cup of tea in one gulp.
Yes, this person was indeed Long Dahai.
The one from the Sea-Crossing Boat.
The few good brothers who had become acquainted with Luo Wusheng on the sea-crossing boat had finally finished their business in Green Province and rushed to the Royal City.
And they happened to run into him on their way to the Red Blossom Pavilion.
That's why the current scene unfolded.
To be honest, Luo Wusheng was quite happy that these guys were willing to help him in his time of need.
Not only because they were Foundation Establishment cultivators, but also because he didn't need many of them.
Just providing room and board would suffice.
When he mentioned the reimbursement of their expenses today, Luo Dahai's satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Based on the personalities of this group of people that he had learned about on the boat, they wouldn't be polite with him. Their expenses tonight shouldn't be minimal.
In this way, would the blame fall on "Wealthy Long Dahai"?
......
— Red Blossom Pavilion —
As usual, Xiao Guai the maid was feeling bored.
In the past two days, there had been noticeably fewer people coming to the Red Blossom Pavilion, making her even more idle than before.
So she began to wonder if a certain Young Master "Long Dahai" would come today or not.
'Hmph, even if he comes, he will definitely hide his identity as before! I don't understand why Elder Sister is so interested in this kind of man!'
Xiao Guai pouted secretly.
But suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
"Xiao Guai, there's a gentleman named Long Dahai looking for you."
'???'
The young maid was clearly taken aback and didn't react for a moment.
It wasn't until several men in the attire of scattered cultivators walked over that she realized her momentary confusion.
However, when she saw that none of the people in front of her had a familiar face, Xiao Guai breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, she must have misheard it.
She must have been so fixated on that ridiculous name that she misheard the name in the previous call.
But then--
"You must be Xiao Guai, right? I'm Long Dahai. This is a letter from our Pavilion Head to be delivered to Miss Yao Ji."
Long Dahai, dressed as a scholar in white, handed over the envelope that Luo Wusheng had given him.
However, the girl on the other side didn't reach out to take it.
He felt something was amiss.
He had wanted to finish the task quickly and ride off on a horse, but what was the situation with this maid?
Just as he was wondering, he saw the young girl, who didn't look very old, wearing a complex expression on her face, with a hint of pity in her gaze.
"You are Long Dahai?"
The young maid was seriously considering a very important question.
Was this really not a fake name?
Was there really someone with such a ridiculous name?
