Zhou Ke frowned and asked, "How can you be sure that asking people here will yield results?"
Su Yang ate a piece of meat and chuckled, "If you want to find someone in a place, you first need to go to the best place to ask around, and restaurants are that kind of place."
Zhou didn't understand.
Su Yang then explained in detail: "A restaurant is a place where people come and go. Regardless of age, anyone with money and power will definitely go there to spend money. And the waiters in the restaurant, after working there for a long time, will naturally know more and more people and know more and more things."
Zhou Ke suddenly realized.
For such trivial matters, the waiters who frequently run errands are undoubtedly the most familiar with the business. Moreover, those who often come and drink might spill some explosive information when they're drunk. And the people served in these restaurants are not of low status. The person they need to inquire about, who could poison a Taixu Realm expert, is certainly not someone of low status.
This solves the problem quite easily.
Su Yang was actually a little surprised that he found out the news so easily, but it didn't matter.
Since it's a legitimate sect, finding them would be incredibly easy. But if it were some shady, clandestine organization, even if Su Yang knew the news, finding the leader would still be a problem.
The current situation is undoubtedly the best.
After finishing his meal, Su Yang stood up and said, "Let's go. The Ten Thousand Gu Sect is very famous. We should be able to find its exact location tonight."
Zhou Ke was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Su Yang quickly replied, "It's on my way."
On the way?
Zhou Ke was a little annoyed. She felt that she had been presumptuous and thought that Su Yang would say something about making up for his past mistakes by not killing the demons.
Looking at it now, this guy is completely incomprehensible.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ke stood up, took out several large covered bowls from his storage bag, stuffed all the unfinished food into them, and then put them into his storage bag.
Su Yang was dumbfounded and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Ke pouted: "It's such a waste to throw away such expensive food that we didn't finish it. Can't I even pack it up?"
Su Yang rubbed his forehead; he was truly impressed by this girl who was about his age.
Giving a thumbs-up, Su Yang shook his head and turned to leave the restaurant.
After the two left, some people who saw Zhou Ke packing up their food laughed. Their laughter was full of sarcasm. After all, people who could afford to eat here were not short of spirit stones, and it was very rare for them to pack up their food to take away. Almost all of them remembered Su Yang and Zhou Ke's appearance.
At the same time, they also assumed that the two were just wealthy outsiders.
In their eyes, they were nothing more than country bumpkins.
After leaving the restaurant, Su Yang and his companion inquired about the location of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect.
It must be said that this sect is very famous.
It's a pity he's so infamous!
The Myriad Gu Sect did indeed absorb all the small sects and clans in the capital that refined poisons, which seemed like a good outcome for the capital. However, it undoubtedly strengthened the power of the Myriad Gu Sect. As for ordinary people, the Myriad Gu Sect harmed ordinary people and curried favor with the major sects, to the point that the major sects were embarrassed to take action against them and turned a blind eye. As a result, almost all the so-called righteous sects turned a blind eye to what the Myriad Gu Sect did in the capital.
Who cares about the life and death of ordinary people?
They were used as test subjects to create more advanced toxins. The Myriad Gu Sect even targeted some smaller sects, poisoning experts in the Spirit Void Realm and the Great Void Realm to develop even more advanced toxins!
When Zhou Ke heard these words, she was furious!
As a member of the Exorcising Evil Sect, she had been taught since childhood that evil and heretical sects were targets for our eradication. However, it was obvious that the Myriad Gu Sect was acting in this way, yet not a single person in this vast capital city came out to stop it. Could this still be considered maintaining order and the righteous path?
As Zhou Ke was filled with righteous indignation, Su Yang also pressed her down.
"You seem to be quite unhappy with the Myriad Gu Sect," Su Yang said calmly.
"Of course!" Zhou Ke said earnestly, "Slaying evil demons and heretics is precisely what my sect, the Exterminator of Evil, does. I must eradicate such a wicked sect that wreaks havoc on the world!"
Su Yang laughed: "Do you know how powerful the other party is? Look at you, a mere peak-stage Cave Opening Realm cultivator, who can you beat in this capital? Punishing evil and upholding justice cannot be solved by loyalty alone."
Zhou Ke suffered in silence, then pondered, "Then let them continue to wreak havoc on others? Ordinary people are people too, and their next generation might create miracles as well."
Su Yang's lips curled up slightly: "Let's see how sincere the Myriad Gu Sect is."
Zhou Ke didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Su Yang said as he walked, "You'll know when we get there."
Zhou Ke quickly followed, saying, "Hey! Explain yourself!"
"You always say things in half-truths, it's really annoying!"
Su Yang smiled but didn't say anything.
Logically speaking, the Emperor in the capital would absolutely not allow the Poison Sect to expand to such a large extent, especially since the Poison Sect also affects other sects and forces; there must be something fishy going on.
The Myriad Gu Sect must be trying to curry favor with the major sects, but that's definitely not the main factor.
It's likely that those so-called righteous sects feared that if they became enemies with the Myriad Gu Sect, and both sides were weakened, other sects would reap the benefits, leaving them with nothing. Therefore, while everyone watched and waited, each hoping to become the beneficiary, the Myriad Gu Sect gradually grew stronger, becoming an entity that no one wanted to provoke.
It's like a honeycomb.
At first, the beehive wasn't very big, but everyone was afraid of disturbing it and getting into trouble, so the beehive grew bigger and bigger until no one dared to provoke it anymore. They were content just to pray that the wasps inside wouldn't bother them.
However, this will ultimately lead to the problem of raising a tiger that will eventually become a threat.
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
After walking for a long time, Su Yang and his companion finally found the location of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. At the same time, there were no houses around the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, and no shops within a ten-mile radius. All there was withered grass and trees, overgrown with weeds, making it look extremely desolate.
Looking inside through the wall, it seemed lifeless, except for the occasional strange gas rising from within; otherwise, one would really think there was no one there.
Dead silence.
That was the first impression Su Yang had of the Myriad Gu Sect.
Zhou Ke followed behind Su Yang, feeling a chill run down her spine. The capital was such a bustling place, yet the Ten Thousand Gu Sect was so deserted, which deepened her dissatisfaction with the sect.
This sect must have committed many evil deeds, which is why no one dares to stay nearby.
Su Yang stood at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The aura emanating from this sect was indeed somewhat strange.
At this moment, a rather old voice came from the side: "Little brat, this is the territory of the Myriad Gu Sect. I don't know which family you belong to, but in any case, leave quickly, or this old man's patience will run out."
