409 Discussing Taking in People

Gu Mingzhou carried Zhao Gao on his back and quickly followed.

Due to the invasion by the England army, the Zhao State was destroyed.

This caused the originally prosperous Handan City to become cold and lifeless. Many of the residents had left the city when the war started.

This was because the city would become a battlefield for killing.

The battle had caused Handan City to be extremely desolate. No one walked on the wide streets, and it was like a dead city.

The Zhai Xing Pavilion had already been destroyed and was inhabitable.

The place that Zhen Gang brought them to was a branch in the north.

At this time, the branch had long been empty.

Before Soul Destroyer attacked, Zhao Gao had ordered the assassins in The Trap to retreat. Hence, they left Handan City.

The north city branch used a special messenger method to inform the assassins to return. They found some healing pills and bandaged Zhao Gao and the other six assassins.

Although Zhao Gao’s life was not in danger, his injuries were still too severe. When Gu Mingzhou brought him to The Trap branch, he fainted.

Zhen Gang was treating Zhao Gao’s injuries.

The process was extremely slow. Zhao Gao’s unconscious state meant that he was unable to circulate his spiritual energy and use pills to heal himself, so he could only rely on the help of Zhen Gang and the others.

Gu Mingzhou didn’t stop either. He was constantly instilling spiritual energy into Zhao Gao to assist in his recovery.

It was not difficult for cultivators of his realm.

While helping Zhao Gao heal his injuries, the assassins gradually returned to the city.

There were not many people in The Trap.

The core members were heaven, earth, and Jue-level assassins, and there were only about 200 of them.

Besides Zhao Gao, there was only Zhen Gang among the heaven-rank assassins.

There were more than 70 earth-rank assassins left, most of whom were saint cultivators. Most of them were Jue rank assassins, about 100.

Zhen Gang’s injuries were the lightest. With Gu Mingzhou’s help, he quickly recovered and immediately went to deal with The Trap.

Time passed by quietly.

Because of Gu Mingzhou’s threat, the England army retreated from Handan City in three days. The underwater beast cultivators did not come either.

It looked as if the dust had settled and everything was calm.

But Gu Mingzhou knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Far away from the Zhao State, the armies of the England Kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty were still fighting.

In the face of the England soldiers who had allied with the underwater beast cultivators, the Zhou Dynasty could only temporarily defend itself. He Chuan had never intervened in this kind of war.

During this period of time, there were only confrontations between the armies. There were no high-level cultivators from the Zhou Dynasty, England, or the powerful demon cultivators from the bottom of the sea.

Both sides seemed to be waiting for something.

The matter that Gu Mingzhou had previously discussed with the Floating Jade Island Master could only be put on hold because Zhao Gao was still in a coma.

Worried that problems might arise, he did not let the hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators that had rushed to Zhao move into Handan City. Instead, he stationed them at the foot of the mountain and waited for news.

After making arrangements for Floating Jade Island, he waited for Zhao Gao to wake up.

Zhao Gao, who had passed out, finally regained consciousness after his injuries had mostly recovered.

Zhao Gao’s status was special, and he was placed in a secret room.

Apart from Zhen Gang and a small number of The Trap’s core members, they could enter.

The secret room’s corridors were full of twists and turns, and there were many traps. If they defended this place, even a cultivator like Gu Mingzhou would need a long time to find them.

It could be seen that the defense of The Trap was very strong.

He followed Zhen Gang into the underground stone house and saw Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao had recovered slightly, but he looked extremely haggard and weak. He could not even get out of bed.

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Brother Gu, please take a seat.” When he saw Gu Mingzhou enter, a smile appeared on Zhao Gao’s dispirited face.

Gu Mingzhou didn’t say anything. He sat down on a chair next to him.

The weak Zhao Gao suddenly sat up, trembling.

“Sect Master!” Zhen Gang was shocked and hurriedly went to the bed to support Zhao Gao.

“Sect Master Zhao, you’re not feeling well, why sit up?” Gu Mingzhou stood up and said,

“I’m a little tired from lying down, it’s better to sit.” Zhao Gao straightened his body with Zhen Gang’s help and waved his hand. ????????????????????????????. ????૦????

Gu Mingzhou immediately stopped talking and sat down again.

“Brother Gu, you’re so talented. It seems like you’ve gained a lot in the past few years.” Zhao Gao said again.

“Not at all, I just had a chance encounter.” Gu Mingzhou said very humbly.

“Even if you have good luck, you can’t achieve great things without talent. I heard that Brother Gu is looking for me for something?” Zhao Gao recalled what Zhen Gang had said and asked.

This was also good. Anyway, Gu Mingzhou had told Zhen Gang about this in their chat, so he naturally wasn’t going to hide it.

“That’s right, I do have a request.” Gu Mingzhou immediately replied.

He was only making a suggestion. Whether he agreed or not would be up to Zhao Gao to decide.

With his current cultivation and status, Zhao Gao wouldn’t refuse if he was forced to.

However, that would be mixed with coercion, which might affect the Floating Jade rogue cultivators and The Trap in the future. Gu Mingzhou was not willing to see this.

...

“Brother Gu, are you talking about taking in a hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators?” Zhao Gao asked.

“A hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators came to support us, but they were ambushed. Hence, we hope that Sect Master Zhao can give them a place to stay!” Gu Mingzhou didn’t mention the destruction of the three major rogue cultivator islands because he thought Zhao Gao would have received the news.

A trap was not only an assassin organization but also a place for information.

“Brother Gu saved The Trap’s life, there’s no reason not to agree to your request, but…” Sect Master Zhao said after a moment of silence.

“Sect Master Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it. I have no objections!” Gu Mingzhou saw Zhao Gao’s hesitation and immediately said.

He made it clear it was only a suggestion, not a decision. He still wanted Zhao Gao to make the decision.

Zhao Gao was an experienced and astute man, so he naturally understood what Gu Mingzhou meant.

It was because of this that Zhao Gao was in a difficult position.

“To be honest, it’s possible to capture a hundred thousand Floating Jade wandering cultivators, but there’s a condition.” Zhao Gao seemed to have made up his mind and looked at Gu Mingzhou.

“Just say it.” Gu Mingzhou quickly replied.

“The original intention of The Trap was to fight against the rogue cultivators of the freezing cold land. Even though the three major islands are no longer around, the Floating Jade rogue cultivators are still rogue cultivators. Therefore, once The Trap takes them in. They can no longer be called rogue cultivators of the freezing cold land!” Zhao Gao said.

...

“No problem, there’s no place for the freezing cold land’s people in this world!” Gu Mingzhou had already thought of this before he came and had already discussed it with the Floating Jade Island Master.

“The Trap itself is a very strict assassin organization, and the control of its subordinates is particularly strict. If they want to take in Floating Jade rogue cultivators, they must also promise to obey The Trap unconditionally.” Zhao Gao said again.

“Unconditionally?” Gu Mingzhou was confused.

“They’ll have to obey unconditionally! But don’t worry, this is to prevent internal strife and management. They won’t be asked to do anything out of line.” Zhao Gao said weakly.

“No problem!” Gu Mingzhou nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

“I’m afraid it’s impossible to let Floating Jade rogue cultivators enter the core of The Trap in a short time. They can only serve as the outer disciple. Moreover, Floating Jade loose cultivators can’t have any right to speak.” Zhao Gao continued.
