The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 40 Join forces
"How are you going to investigate next?"

Yaoguang walked aside.

"I already have an idea."

Xia Wuyuan followed and said calmly, "I was attacked as soon as I left the Yue family. They are so bold. I have handled so many cases, but I have never seen anyone so arrogant. They are so unscrupulous. They dare to do this, and there must be an umbrella with amazing status behind them."

"Do you suspect it's the Yue family?"

"If the head of the Yue family was willing to meet me, I would be particularly suspicious, but he chose to avoid me... my suspicions were alleviated a little."

Xia Wuyuan shook his head: "But it doesn't matter whether it is or not."

He said calmly, "I went to the Yue family to investigate a case, but as soon as I left, I was attacked by a master-level gangster and nearly died. If I report this matter, the entire Tiannan Province will be shocked. The Yue family is definitely the first suspect to be sent to attack by a master! If the Yue family is not thoroughly investigated, it is the inaction of the procuratorate system!"

"You want to use this to bring the Yue family into the game, and then use the Yue family's power to investigate the forces behind Yulong International?"

Yaoguang understood what he meant.

Sending a master to kill a senior prosecutor is better off if he dies. Maybe the situation can be suppressed with the help of connections or a scapegoat can be found.

If the person is not dead, the person involved will be traced back and both parties will have to give an explanation.

The behavior is terrible.

Reporting this and shocking Tiannan is by no means an empty talk.

It is foreseeable that the royal family will personally order the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to send people to set up a special investigation team.

A noble family like the Yue family definitely has a lot of problems. If they were thoroughly investigated, not only would people from all walks of life be affected, but their reputation in Tiannan would definitely be ruined.

In this situation, even if the Yue family was unwilling, they had to help him find the murderer and prove his innocence.

Xia Wuyuan nodded: "If we ask who knows the most about all walks of life in Tiannan, the Yue family is second to none, and no one dares to claim to be first, even the nominal highest official of Tiannan Province - Governor Wei Kongming."

The family remains unchanged, but the governors change frequently.

With the Yue family taking action, there are no secrets that can be hidden in Tiannan Province anymore.

finally……

It would be best if the Yue family could find out something.

Can't find...

It is clear who is the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It's very dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll end up courting disaster."

Yaoguang Road.

"If you want to get things done, how can you not take risks? This is the best solution I can come up with in a short period of time."

Xia Wuyuan said.

The prosecutor can report to the emperor.

But we can't report the matter to the royal family based on suspicion alone without any evidence.

Then what is the use of these prosecutors?
"As soon as I left the Yue family, these people launched an attack. It's clear that they are trying to frame the Yue family. For this reason, the Yue family will do their best to investigate."

When Xia Wuyuan said this, his tone paused slightly.

He glanced at Yaoguang: "If I die..."

"The Yue family."

Yaoguang understood what he wanted to say.

Xia Wuyuan also nodded.

The atmosphere was a little heavy.

But soon, Xia Wuyuan shook his head and temporarily put aside this possibility.

Even though you know it is a risky move, you have to do it.

"Now, there is only one last question."

Xia Wuyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I want to know, are all those... monsters you killed earlier powerful enough to rival a Grandmaster?"

Yaoguang understood what he meant by asking this question.

He nodded.

Such a simple action made Xia Wuyuan's scalp tingle.

Being able to mobilize several or even dozens of Grandmasters... What kind of deep-water crocodile is this! ?

The unknown underground world of Tiannan Province... actually hides such a huge monster! ?
And behind this...

What kind of amazing secret does it represent?

"Are you still checking?"

Yaoguang said with a half-smile.

"check!"

The shock in Xia Wuyuan's eyes only lasted for a moment, and was replaced by determination: "I said, I will investigate... no matter what secrets are hidden in it."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Yaoguang smiled and was about to turn around and leave.

He still has to go to Deyue Tower for dinner.

"Su Yaoguang."

Xia Wuyuan called out, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "I need your help."

Yaoguang paused.

He glanced at this human warrior who had achieved mastery at the age of only thirty, met his solemn gaze, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Seeing this, Xia Wuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had never fought with Yaoguang, he didn't know how powerful he was.

but……

He killed eight or ten of those monsters who looked like martial artists but actually had the combat power of grandmasters. His strength...

It was definitely more terrifying than he had imagined.

It can't even be measured by ordinary masters.

The current situation is unclear, there are huge monsters lurking in the dark, and dangers are lurking on all sides. Such a powerful master is willing to cooperate with him in the investigation of this matter, which is undoubtedly a strong and powerful help.

……

"Mortals, warriors, demons, divine blood, and the powerful."

In the car, Yaoguang was organizing these key words in his mind.

Mortals are the lowest level, and they provide food for demons, eating them to gain wisdom.

Warriors are ranked second and are considered the best carriers by demons.

It seems... the stronger the carrier, the greater the power they can exert.

Furthermore, after the demon merges into the human body, it can continue to refine the body.

Theoretically, the earlier the demons arrived, the more powerful they were. However, considering that some demons were only at level four or five, no matter how long they had been here, they would probably still be stuck in these realms.

Above the warriors are demons...

The key to the existence of demons in the human world is divine blood.

They have mastered the technology of refining divine blood, and eating it can prolong life and even keep them young forever. They use this substance to make friends with the powerful and wealthy in exchange for their protection.

but……

"It's not like this."

Yaoguang thought to himself.

Using divine blood to make friends with the powerful is only a temporary solution.

or……

There is something crucial in the middle that he overlooked.

Perhaps this was indeed the case with the ecology a dozen or dozens of years ago.

Demons need to rely on the blood of gods to gain power and wealth in order to survive in the world.

But in recent years...

The situation has changed.

The demons are acting more and more unscrupulously.

"Self-cultivator... sect..."

These two keywords indicate that there may be another side of the world that he doesn't know about.

but……

almost.

Whether it was the magic weapon-like gem in his hand, or Xia Wuyuan's involvement of the Yue family, the truth was gradually revealed.

In Tiannan Province, the most powerful people are Governor Wei Kongming, High Attorney General Lu Zhenhai, and Local Council Chairman Yue Nanxing.

Going down, there are the Deputy Governor, the Attorney General, the Deputy Speaker-level figures and the forces they represent.

These groups of about a dozen people constitute the highest level in Tiannan.

Some important departments, such as the Martial Arts Association, the General Security Bureau, the General Education Bureau, the General Civil Service Bureau, the General Commerce Bureau, etc., are basically headed by these people on a part-time basis or assigned by them.

But the Yue family has extended its tentacles to every corner of these departments.

Maybe the level is not very high, but I have acquaintances in every department.

If they really want to make an effort...

The demon behind Yulong International, that is, the leader mentioned by the demon he just killed, can no longer hide for long.

……

"Master Yaoguang..."

Lei Yun, who was driving in front, hesitated for a long time and finally said, "You..."

"It's just what you guessed."

Yaoguang raised his head.

He had no intention of hiding anything about the direct subordinates who would be following him in the future and the logistics team that would be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

"As I guessed..."

Lei Yun suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You...you really are..."

"of course."

Yaoguang said bluntly: "Otherwise, why would Master Su entrust me with such an important task as soon as I came back after not returning home for more than ten years?"

"This……"

Lei Yun gasped: "Nineteen years old... a nineteen-year-old martial artist? This is simply too unbelievable..."

"???"

Yaoguang was stunned when he heard her uncontrollable exclamation.

Nineteen years old...

Martial arts master?

"Young Master, you have already become a martial artist at the age of nineteen. At this rate, you will most likely reach the Grandmaster level before you are thirty and become the Grandmaster of our Su family!"

Lei Yun was somewhat excited and said, "During this period, the Zhang family, which has been the most ruthless in taking advantage of our Su family, was able to gain power because of their recognition of Zhang Tianji as their relative. Now, they can stand on equal footing with our Su family."

"Zhang Tianji?"

Yaoguang had heard this name before: "Grandmaster of the Zhang Family?"

"Correct."

Lei Yun nodded heavily: "Zhang Tianji was rebellious when he was young and caused a lot of trouble. He was expelled from the family by the head of the Zhang family. But after more than ten years of wandering outside, he returned as a master. When the Zhang family learned about this, they found him immediately and let him return to his ancestral home. With the help of this master, the Zhang family has developed rapidly in the past few years and has become one of the top families in Tiannan."

"Oh."

Yaoguang responded.

No wonder he thought of Zhang Tianji when he first saw Su Chi Ming mention the cooperation with a master today.

"If you can become a master in the future, with the influence of our Su family and the strong strength of the Buzhou Group, we will definitely be able to go beyond Tiannan and expand across the country! When the national strategy is realized, relying on the huge influence, and settling for more than ten or even dozens of years, the Su family may even go a step further and become an aristocratic family!"

Lei Yun's eyes were full of desire for a better life in the future.

"In fact, your guess could be a little bolder."

Yaoguang said with a smile.

"Can you make a bolder guess?"

Lei Yun was stunned.

The next second, the guess that was too unbelievable and had been suppressed by her came to her mind again.

She spoke carefully: "Are you... the... the Grandmaster?"

Yaoguang nodded slightly.

It was such a simple action that couldn't be simpler, but it made Lei Yun feel as if she was electrocuted. Her whole body felt numb, and an unprecedented pleasure spread from her nervous system, quickly spreading to every corner of her body, making every cell in her body unable to hold back and start cheering in surprise.

At this moment, all the shock, joy, excitement, and thousands of words in my heart turned into one word.

"what!?"
