Su Peng didn't leave in a hurry, but called up his system menu and took a look.

The last few pieces of information are the task of assassinating Lu Xiaotian, the commander of the Blackwater Army, that I just accepted, the hint of the completion of the copy of the Ancient Sword Villa, and the ...... It's a hint of your own sword intent upgrade.

"Sword Intent Upgrade...... When I was in Zixiamen, I heard the second senior brother say that the sword intent can only be upgraded through continuous training...... Now, what is the level of my sword intent? If there were two senior brothers' sword intent achievements, then assassinating Lu Xiaotian would simply be the easiest task. ”

Su Peng thought in his heart, and then checked his upgraded sword intent.

"Your sword intent level has reached the preliminary stage of slashing the void, and you can slash the illusory and incorporeal existence, or target the spirit and aura of others, and slash it."

Su Peng saw that there was such a line of hints on his sword intent skills.

"Cut the void? Is it a virtual sword? Su Peng thought in his heart, thought about it, and felt that the sword intent that was improved this time should not be the same realm as the sword that he had just broken the demon and cut out, because that sword, the three big trees, had no contact at all, and all by virtue of the sword intent, the big tree was cut off from life, and this time it reached the realm of cutting the void, it didn't seem to be so sharp.

However, it is the realm of cutting the void, Su Peng seems to have also broken the mysterious black tattoo in the body of the ancient sword, and broken his incorruptible body, Su Peng recalled the sword at that time, and realized something in his heart.

"At that time, the kind of defense ability used by the ancient sword that was almost like a god of King Kong was not bad at all, and it was not at all like his own ability, and later, the cheats obtained in the secret room of the other courtyard all showed that the ancient sword should be using what kind of evil way exercises, or even séance, was a bit like a god asking a god to seal the ability of an evil spirit and evil god in his body. And my sword intent was stimulated and reached the realm of slashing void, it should be just to restrain that kind of thing that has no substance, like a ghost or god, so that I can break his talisman and kill him. ”

Su Peng thought about it, it should be so wrong, in fact, this is also close to the correct answer.

"After the sword intent is upgraded. I don't know if there is a more practical use of the road. Su Peng thought about it, thinking of this, he suddenly pulled out the bladeless sword, recalled the feeling of swinging that sword at that time, and swept a sword.

Seeing that this sword was swinged, the fire light in the oil lamp left by Sun Yixiao here couldn't help but tremble, and Su Peng's shadow also fluctuated, but there was no real damage.

"Forget it. I don't know the actual use of this realm, so I'll do this first, and then I'll slowly explore. Su Peng thought. Return the bladeless sword to its scabbard.

After that, Su Peng took out the two notebooks seized in the courtyard of the owner of the Gujian Villa from the Qiankun bag and looked through them himself.

In the notes. The records are all about the Gujian Villa, as well as some large records of human transactions and money transactions. There are even a few places that vaguely point out the secret rituals carried out by the ancient sword.

Su Peng took a quick look from beginning to end, and found a few interesting things.

"Gujian Villa, the income from trading slaves every year is as high as four thousand taels of gold?" Su Peng saw it, and couldn't help but take a long breath, is the human trafficking of Gujian Villa so profitable?

After looking carefully, Su Peng found that according to the records of Gu Jian, Gu Jian Villa actually monopolized the slave trade in the entire Suzhou, and had dealings with some people in Jiangning County, Su Yang City, and some powerful forces in Suzhou...... The efforts of those rescued by the Ancient Sword Villa are just some high-grade goods, and there are a lot of strong laborers, and ordinary women, with a little training, or directly change hands, and sell them to other places, so that the annual income of the Ancient Sword Villa has reached an astonishing four thousand taels of gold.

"Four thousand taels of gold...... I'll do the math...... It's about 60 million yuan, which is a huge amount of money in this agricultural society. After Su Peng saw this, he thought in his heart.

Seeing this, Su Peng couldn't help but wonder, can he manipulate such a big handicap with just one ancient sword?

"Within the boundaries of Suzhou, regardless of Suyang City, Jiangning County, there are only two ...... if you only say super power One is the Qingcheng faction, which is the power behind Jiangning County, and the other is the Kongtong faction...... It is also a famous faction, but it is not a complete Suzhou person, and it is a big faction of Suzhou and Huaizhou...... In Suzhou Mansion, if it weren't for the nodding of these two super factions, the population smuggling of this ancient sword would not have been able to do so much. ”

Thinking about it, Su Peng checked the notes and account books of Gujian Villa, and found that several large human transactions were actually directly robbed of craftsmen from other states and counties, among which there was a special record, it was a whole two villages of people who were sold to Jiangning County, and the people in these two villages were all made weapons and armor, and this group of people disappeared immediately after coming to Jiangning County.

What Su Peng immediately thought of was the good armor that the official sergeants of the Heishui Army had in Jiangning County.

"It seems that Mo Tianqing, the city lord of Jiangning County, and the Qingcheng faction, should not be completely ignorant of what Gu Jian did, and it may even be that they are a raccoon dog, and Gu Jian has done a lot of things for Mo Tianqing and the Qingcheng faction...... However, looking at Mo Tianqing's appearance, it seems that he casually sold the ancient sword, what is this for? Is it the chess piece of the ancient sword, is it a little difficult to use? ”

Thinking of this, Su Peng opened two more notebooks, read them carefully, and gradually, he found some clues.

"Yes...... Although the annual income of the Ancient Sword Villa is extremely rich, it is not completely at the disposal of the Ancient Sword...... Looking at Gu Jian's diary, he was often dissatisfied, hinting that he would escort this huge amount of money out of Lu, but he didn't say where it was sent, but he saw that since a year ago, most of the huge money obtained from these human trafficking should have flowed into the Qingcheng faction, and Gu Jian was just a half-bright face sent by the Qingcheng faction, a pawn of a not-so-glorious business......"

"And this pawn is not very obedient anymore, in Gu Jian's diary, it was written several times that the people above were dissatisfied with him, and some people were keen on his position to make money, and it seemed that someone wanted to move him......"

After reading the two notebooks, Su Peng summed up the above information.

In addition, there are some gains, such as the origin of the idol in the underground dungeon, which is also recorded in the diary.

It turned out that when Gu Jian was a child, he was the son of a wealthy man in Suzhou, and the huge rich man himself was a tycoon of the rivers and lakes, a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, who had been operating for many years and had accumulated countless amounts of money.

And Gu Jian's mother died early, and his father continued to have a wife, who was more than ten years older than Gu Jian, which was normal, but Gu Jian's father, one year, was suddenly sought revenge by an unknown person, and when he woke up one night, he lost his head.

Gu Jian was fashionable and young, and all the family property belonged to his stepmother...... And his stepmother is also a ruthless and vicious person, who wants to monopolize Gu Jian's father's family property, seeing that Gu Jian is young, although she doesn't dare to kill him, she uses various means to abuse and torture Gu Jian, wanting him to leave home by himself.

Those methods are a bit appalling to say...... But his mother is not small, no one in the family dares to say it, Gu Jian is also a little tough, just don't leave, if it weren't for Gu Jian's physical foundation, he would have been abused to death.

And just when Gu Jian was about to be tortured to death by his stepmother, his father's close friend in the Qingcheng faction suddenly came to Gu Jian's house as a guest, heard some things, and didn't say much, just took Gu Jian away and took him to the Qingcheng faction to practice martial arts.

In a flash, ten years have passed, and the ancient sword has been skilled to go down the mountain, and the first thing he did was to mask and modify, sneak into the family house late at night, and torture and kill his stepmother and his half-brother to death.

After that, he returned home openly, inherited his father's estate, sold some of his land, and then built Gujian Villa near Jiangning County.

A few years later, he may have organized a smuggler through some connections.

However, when he did this, he fell into a problem...... I don't know if it's a problem with the shadow of his childhood, or if he found some pleasure when he tortured and killed his stepmother and younger brother, every year, he wants to torture and kill some of the people he smuggles to satisfy a perverted psychology.

And then ...... He was approached by someone from a mysterious organization.

This organization, I don't know how Lu Dao knew that Lu Dao liked to abuse and kill, so that Gu Jian almost wanted to kill people, but the other party's kung fu was extremely hard, and there were magical methods, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The organization's requirements are also very simple, and they gave Gu Jian a set of strange rituals, so that when Gu Jian tortured and killed people, he would worship the evil gods according to that set of rituals, as long as this was the case, not only would Gu Jian not be exposed, but he would also give Gu Jian some magical exercises to cultivate.

Those exercises, it seems to be evil, but it has a miraculous effect, gradually, Gu Jian indulged in those exercises, and his position also changed somewhat, and privately set aside a sum of money from the income in the villa to fund the mysterious organization, and at the same time developed some members of the organization.

Until, Su Peng and others came to the door and destroyed his Ancient Sword Villa.

When Su Peng saw this, he closed the two notebooks, but he was very shocked in his heart.

"I didn't expect it, I thought that Gujian Villa was just a way for the tycoons to make money by themselves, but I didn't expect that there were so many things hidden behind it......"

After Su Peng closed the notebook, he took a deep breath.

"Judging from the current clues, there are at least two organizations behind the Ancient Sword Villa...... One should be the Qingcheng faction, which is also the place where at least 30,000 taels of gold flow into Gujian Villa every year, and the other should be the mysterious cult organization. ”

"In the final analysis, the Qingcheng faction is a big faction...... If the news of these two notebooks is spread, I will cause a lot of trouble, and I may be killed and killed, after all, the city lord of Jiangning County is from the Qingcheng faction, and the cult organization ...... The records of the ancient sword, in Suyang City, there is their stronghold, I don't know if Lu Dao is a hidden mission to connect......"

Thinking about this, Su Peng lightly tapped his forehead with his finger, and said to himself: "Should I give this note to the Dark Owl Group and let them test the water......" (To be continued......)
