Upon hearing that the Xiaoyao Sect seemed to be related to the previous case of girl abduction in Nanjiang County, Zhu Yunwen immediately became excited.

Isn't that just a coincidence?

So Zhu Yunwen asked:

"What are those wealthy people from those places planning to do by hiring a dozen or twenty experts from you? Do you understand?"

The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect coughed and said:

"That's not something I can easily reveal. After all, my Xiaoyao Sect is a righteous sect, and there are some things that are best left unsaid."

Zhu Yunwen had already guessed most of it, and immediately snorted coldly, saying:

"Isn't it to help these rich people pretend to be ghosts and kidnap young girls?"

The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect looked at Zhu Yunwen with a puzzled expression, and then said:

"How do you know that? Are you involved in this too?"

Zhu Yunwen's face was grim, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he forced a smile and said:

"So, those rich people swindled you out of a fortune. Why don't you find them and make them compensate you for your losses?"

The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect said:

"That's exactly what I was thinking. I have indeed been trying to find them recently. Although they have gone into hiding, they have had many contacts with my Xiaoyao Sect. Finding them is not a difficult thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and said:

"We must find the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect as soon as possible. I'm looking for them myself, and I have some conflicts with them."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect said again:

"Alright, once I find those guys and make them pay a hefty sum in compensation for the loss of more than ten experts from my sect, I'll hand them over to you for disposal, how about that?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, and then said:

"How much is this 'high compensation' you're referring to?"

The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect chuckled and said:

"Naturally, it's all their wealth. My Xiaoyao Sect is a major sect in the martial arts world, so we can't possibly suffer a loss. With so many people lost this time, we naturally have to make them give us a reasonable compensation."

Otherwise, wouldn't the dozen or so experts in my sect have died in vain? You know, it takes us a lot of money and effort to train an expert.

How could they possibly justify not using their entire fortune as compensation? You wanted to ask me how to increase your income, right? That makes sense, doesn't it?"

Zhu Yunwen finally understood that this was no respectable sect at all; in fact, what they did was probably even more despicable than those evil cults and demonic sects.

Those rich people are also very bold to hire these sects to do things for them. But when something goes wrong, these sects don't listen to reason with them.

They made them pay whatever price they could, no wonder these sects are all incredibly wealthy.

I never knew before how many rich people had been extorted and robbed in this way.

Through this incident, Zhu Yunwen basically confirmed that these sects had done countless things behind the scenes, things that were heinous and wicked, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.

The reason why those wealthy people who escaped in Nanjiang County set up such a big kidnapping scheme for a girl was that they actually found people from this Xiaoyao Sect to do it for them.

No wonder they were able to let those men in black stand up and be arrested by the authorities without hesitation.

It turns out these people were just hired by them, and they didn't care about the losses at all.

Of course, this also led to a consequence: after this incident, the Xiaoyao Sect began to send people to find these wealthy people.

They must pay the price for the loss of so many people in the sect.

In Zhu Yunwen's view, this matter was extremely egregious. If they would make money from anything, then the existence of these sects would be even more intolerable.

It is currently known that the Beggars' Sect has no bottom line when it comes to making money, and then there is the Carefree Sect.

Including the previous demonic cult.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, other sects are probably not in much better shape either.

The only ones that are somewhat better off are Shaolin Temple and Wudang Temple.

Because Shaolin Temple receives many pilgrims year-round, it generates a significant economic source for the temple.

Moreover, Shaolin Temple has such a great reputation and has always been open to the public, so they really wouldn't dare to do anything bad.

Secondly, Wudang is similar.

It's estimated that apart from a few sects with a major source of income, the other sects are not much better off.

Of course, even if Shaolin Temple and Wudang are slightly better, it doesn't mean they are without problems.

Their constant involvement in gang warfare poses a significant threat to the personal safety of others.

Even if we don't completely eliminate these two sects, we still need to restrain them.

After some discussion, the meal was served. Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu ate and drank their fill, and then settled down at Xiaoyao Villa.

It wasn't that he really wanted to stay there, but he needed to keep up the act. He couldn't just leave the money and go, could he?

That would seem a bit fake.

The Xiaoyao Sect was also very good at saving face. Having accepted the generous gift from the Tianlong Gang, they did their best to entertain Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu.

It's clear that the Xiaoyao Sect takes this generous gift very seriously, and they're making sure to give it their due.

After a hearty meal, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu were arranged to stay in the guest rooms of the Xiaoyao Sect. In the evening, Zhu Yunwen was even invited by the sect leader to visit the Xiaoyao Manor.

He also invited many female disciples from various sects to dance for Zhu Yunwen.
