Chapter 233 – Utter Confusion (2/2)

Wu Gen smiled viciously. “Then there’s nothing more to say. Get him!” He refused to believe he could not capture a single person with so many people on his side.

“Wait!”

Wu Gen frowned, and only when he saw it was Qian Rongzhi did he ease up slightly. “Rongzhi, what do you want to say?”

“Sir, don’t we have a Nighthawk nearby? We can just get him to take a look and check. It won’t be good if we get the wrong person,” Qian Rongzhi said with some worry.

Wu Gen frowned heavily. Women would always be women. They were just too soft-hearted. This person was clearly well-off. If he could capture him first and ask about his origins, then he could die as a casualty of the Truth-seeking society if he did not have a particularly powerful background. Wouldn’t that be better? However, he obviously could not say that in front of so many commanders, so he sank into his thoughts.

“Senior brother, Rongzhi is right. We should get to the bottom of this. We have to be sure we don’t capture someone innocent!” said a square-faced young man from beside Qian Rongzhi.

Only then did Wu Gen finally nod. “Alright. Send the signal and summon him here!”

The square-faced young man was the new Black Hawk commander of Jiaping city. He also originated from the Academy of the Hundred Schools, just like Wu Gen, which was why he called him “senior brother”. Compared to the other Black Hawk commanders, he was much younger, so he possessed quite the talent. It would not be too difficult for his cultivation to increase by a few more layers. He would be naturally recalled to the Clear River city after a few years of toughening up outside, promoted to scarlet bronze.

Because of their many years of friendship, Wu Gen obviously respected his opinion much more. Normally, he would not scold him unless there was good reason to.

Before long, a Black Wolf guard emerged from the forest and bowed constantly. “I’m Zhou Pei. Greetings, sirs.”

The square-faced young man asked, “Zhou Pei, do you know this person? Hey big man, come out and see if he knows you!”

Li Qingshan found the voice to be somewhat familiar, but he was unable to recall where he had heard it from. He arrived at the entrance in a flash and looked at the Black Wolf guard. Both of them called out at the same time,

“Zhou Wei!” “Niu Juxia!”

This Zhou Pei happened to be the Qi Practitioner who did not really like talking beside Han Xiong when he saw him the other day, Zhou Wei. He never thought he was actually a Nighthawk.

A Nighthawk was a hawk that never saw the light of day. It was a special position within the Hawkwolf Guard. They used various different identities to infiltrate various organisations so that they could collect information and undergo investigations.

It was possible to construct an information network by bribing people of the jianghu among the world of regular people, but only cultivators could achieve something like constructing a similar network in the cultivation world.

Because this line of work was very tiresome, not only forced to remain undercover but also under constant threat to their lives, everyone was known as “hawks” regardless of their cultivation.

Li Qingshan had only heard a rough introduction regarding it when he joined the Hawkwolf Guard. This was the first time he had seen someone like this.

Zhou Wei, or Zhou Pei, immediately reported everything that had happened in the bookstore and restaurant the other day, proving that Li Qingshan had indeed been fooled here and was not a part of the Truth-seeking society. After saying that, he stood to one side with his head lowered. All he did was glance at Li Qingshan in surprise. He had never thought he would actually be able to destroy the entire Truth-seeking society alone. Priest Qiu had basically fallen to his own sword.

Only then did everyone understand the entire story. They looked at one another, waiting for Wu Gen to make a decision.

The square-faced young man sighed. “Fortunately, Rongzhi warned us, or we would’ve killed the wrong person.”
