Li Rui was calculating in his heart.
"There are many variations of the main storyline in Gu Xuan Town, but there are actually only three plots. Apart from the Qi Union that's mostly settled and the Yujiang Ghost Garden exploration I've taken on, the remaining one is the Elder Council."
This Elder Council is a self-organized management group formed by local gentry. In towns like these, it's not easy for either official authorities or sects to manage things, so they are generally governed by local powerhouses.
However, according to the strategy guide Li Rui had read earlier, the Elder Council here is not benevolent. They secretly order servants to abduct solitary town residents or people from surrounding villages, suspected of conducting human trafficking.
