Chapter 752 Helpless
As the only daughter of City Lord Ji, Ji Yaya has received careful guidance from her father and is now at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. At her age, she is one of the best among demonic cultivators. Therefore, as long as she is not in seclusion, she will assist her father in handling the affairs of Ji Yun City.

Although Ji Yun City is only a medium-sized city, it has been managed very well by the Ji family father and daughter. Many cultivators come and go, and because they treat rogue cultivators well, they have reached an agreement with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. There is also a temporary outpost of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the city, which has attracted many rogue cultivators to settle in Ji Yun City.

With more cultivators, there are more conflicts. In order to maintain the stability of Ji Yun City, the city guard was established. Ji Ya Ya was in charge of assisting in the management of the city guard squad, and Ji Feng's squad was directly under her responsibility.

Ji Yaya was the one investigating the loss of the family's secret treasure. Now, the team she sent out to track it down was almost completely wiped out, with only one person returning alive. Naturally, she rushed over immediately. However, Ji Feng was seriously injured and unconscious while receiving treatment, so she could only go to check on the body that was brought back with Ji Feng.

After checking on him, Ji Yaya came to see her father with a sullen face. She also met the physician in the mansion at the door. Seeing that the physician looked normal, she knew that Ji Feng should be able to be saved. She didn't ask any more questions and went straight into the room.

"Father, has Ji Feng's condition stabilized?"

"Hmm, he should wake up in about 15 minutes. Have you found anything on your end?"

Ji Chenfeng went straight to the point.

Only then did Ji Yaya reveal a hint of resentment on her face, saying:

“Father, it was done by the Ninja Sect. Several of the fallen city guards had abrasions from hidden weapons, and the blood flowing from their broken skin was purplish-black, clearly indicating poisoning.”

Two others were sliced ​​into pieces by the sword; even their nascent souls couldn't escape when they perished. Their methods were truly vicious.

By the end, Ji Yaya's fair face was flushed with anger.

Ji Chenfeng's expression wasn't much better. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke:

"I have already informed the sect about the loss of the secret treasure from the City Lord's Mansion, and I believe they will send someone over soon."

This matter is of utmost importance. Originally, if the treasure couldn't be recovered within seven days, that was my plan, but now it seems the situation is even worse.”

Ji Yaya was somewhat discouraged after hearing this, and after hesitating, she asked:
"Father, everything was fine before. Who leaked the information that the City Lord's Mansion had a secret treasure? Now that we've lost the treasure, will they punish you?"

These are the things she's worried about.

Ji Chenfeng sighed:

"I had a bad feeling when Yangxi returned to the Demon Realm. I sent a message to the sect, asking them to take back the secret treasure."

They said it would be better to keep the treasure in Ji Yun City, and told me to store it as a regular rare and precious material. I never expected things to go wrong like this.

After hearing this, Ji Yaya bit her lip and said:

“Father, do you think they anticipated that the treasure would be lost, which is why they didn’t take it back and left it in your hands to make the city lord’s mansion take the blame?”

This was the only reason she could think of.

Ji Chenfeng shook his head and said:

"Ya Ya, be careful what you say! Let's go see Ji Feng first; maybe he can find something."

"Yes."

After leaving the council hall, the father and daughter did not speak again until they entered a guarded side courtyard, where they met Ji Feng, who had just woken up. At that time, the physician was taking Ji Feng's pulse.

When Ji Feng opened his eyes, he found himself back in Ji Yun City, which made him feel disoriented for a moment. He had been tracking the thief from the Ninja Sect and had been lured into a trap, so how did he end up back here after waking up?

He struggled to get up, but was stopped by the physician in the manor: "Captain Ji, don't move around. Your life force has just recovered. The city lord will be here to question you soon. You can speak to the city lord face to face if you have anything to say."

Ji Feng finally calmed down and began to recall the last scene he saw, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, Ji Chenfeng brought his daughter into the room. Ji Feng wanted to get up and bow, but was stopped by the two of them.

"How is Ji Feng doing?"

"Lord of the city, Captain Ji is seriously injured. It would be best if he could go into seclusion to heal. He should not make any moves recently, otherwise it will damage his foundation and affect his future cultivation."

"I understand. Go and prepare the medicine to heal his injuries, and send it to Ji Feng later. If he needs any spiritual plants, just go to the storeroom to get them."

"Yes, City Lord."

Knowing that the city lord's mansion had something to ask Ji Feng, the physician turned and left the side courtyard.

After all the outsiders had left, the city lord casually cast a protective barrier before speaking:

"Ji Feng, tell me about your experience tracking the thief."

"Yes, City Lord."

Ji Feng responded and then recounted what had happened after he left Ji Yun City.

“Based on the bloodstains we collected, we used the Bloodline Tracking Technique to follow the thief. However, we don’t know how he escaped from the city. Moreover, after leaving Ji Yun City, he disappeared for a period of time and reappeared in the Jinghong Mountains, thousands of miles away from Ji Yun City. I have reported this matter to Miss Ji.”

Ji Yaya nodded and said:

"Yes, at that time I ordered them to continue tracking, preferably without alerting them, and to find their hideout if possible, so that we could wipe them out in one fell swoop."

After receiving confirmation, Ji Feng continued:

"Because the distance is too far, I suspect that the thief used a teleportation array that was secretly set up, so we used a teleportation scroll to try to get to his hiding place as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Ji Feng felt a pang of heartache. The production of this teleportation scroll was extremely complicated, and he only obtained one. It was his trump card, and if he wasn't afraid of losing track of the Ninja Sect thieves, he probably wouldn't have used it.

Because he used the teleportation scroll in advance, he fell into the trap of the Ninja Clan cultivators and was unable to escape in time, which led to the annihilation of their entire team.

But he had no choice but to do it this way. The city lord had given a strict order that he must not lose track of the thieves, or his position as the city guard captain would be over.

He originally thought that as long as he found out the other party's exact location, he could notify the city lord to handle it personally, but unfortunately the other party did not give him that opportunity.

"We followed the bloodline tracking method to the place where it failed and found an underground cave, but we couldn't find any trace of the thieves. I was afraid that the thieves had already handed over the stolen goods to their accomplices, so I had no choice but to lead the team in to investigate."

Cen Su, a member of the group, accidentally discovered a wall disguised as an illusion. After we entered, we were attacked. The attackers were all Ninja Sect cultivators, and there were hundreds of them, including some cultivators at the Integration Stage.

In a single exchange, half of our squad was killed on the spot. My remaining teammates and I fought desperately, trying to break through and return, but we were trapped in their encirclement. After that, our men fell one after another. I knew that the Ninja Clan cultivators were killing us to silence us, but I was not strong enough and was also severely injured.

Just before I completely lost consciousness, I seemed to see another cultivator walk into a trap set by the Ninja Sect cultivators. Before I passed out, I saw a black dragon and heard its roar, and after that, I knew nothing more.
