I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Old Qiu?"

"He also led a team on a mission tonight, it seems they went to the west of the city, but we don't know the details yet."

"But it should be fine. He'll ask for help if he can't handle it."

"I think he should have finished his work by now. Are you worried?"

The Shadow Warriors carry specialized equipment on their bodies when they go on missions. Pressing a button will send a distress signal to headquarters, and the equipment has its own location tracking.

Qiu Ang brought a large group with him on his mission tonight. Even when facing a Grandmaster, it's impossible that not everyone had time to send out a distress signal.

If you haven't received it, then it's fine.

"Mr. Qin, is it alright if you don't go back to Yunxi Residence?"

Jiang Xianjue watched Feng Chuxiao leave before speaking, "Our spies have discovered that many different forces are keeping an eye on Yunxi Residence recently."

"Furthermore, recently many experts have gathered in various forces in Beidu, which means they're definitely planning something big. I suspect it's aimed at Yunxi Residence..."

"No doubt about it!" Qin Ge interrupted Jiang Xianjue with a smile. "They've already made their move. There must be over a hundred of them, all experts, many of them at the Heavenly Realm!"

"It's all over now. Xuan'an Bureau has taken full control of Yunxi Residence, so there's no point in me going back."

"Patriarch Jiang, your Jiang family's intelligence capabilities aren't very good either. You don't even know this?"

Even though Xiao Xinghe was there to back him up at Yunxi Residence, Qin Ge was still a little worried. He planned to go back after the Jiang family's matter was resolved.

He learned about the situation at Yunxi Residence before he could even take action, so he wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Just then, Feng Chuxiao arrived with his men, so he decided to deal with the Jiang family's affairs first.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Jiang Xianjue was a little embarrassed. "With all these things happening in the Jiang family, I haven't had time to take care of things."

He wondered to himself, "Are the people from the Xuan'an Bureau really that powerful? How can they hold off so many experts?"

"Mr. Qin, there is no doubt that Yu Jinxiao is a member of the Zhao family. He was the one who killed my Jiang family's spy in the haunted house at the amusement park."

Jiang Xianjue glanced at the ironwood sword in Qin Ge's hand. "But wasn't it a bit hasty of you to kill Jiang Zhuoqing?"

"Now that he's dead, it'll be very difficult to find out who sent him!"

"No need to investigate, he's probably working for the Min family!" Qin Ge said with certainty. "Looks like you're really getting old, so forgetful."

"This news was actually given to me by your Jiang family!"

"Don't you remember?"

"You told me not long ago that the Min family had invited a martial arts grandmaster, possibly to deal with me, remember?"

"There aren't that many grandmasters in the North. Jiang Zhuoqing was probably invited by the Min family, mainly to deal with me. He came to your Jiang family just incidentally."

"Being merely a grandmaster isn't enough to prove he was invited by the Min family; the key point is that he knows me!"

"I wouldn't say for sure, but it's highly likely. You can have someone check and confirm it."

"It doesn't matter if they don't investigate. Whether it's true or not, I'm going to take down the Min family!"

"I see!" Jiang Xianjue suddenly realized, then gave an awkward laugh. "Looks like I really am getting old and it's time for me to step down. It's a pity about Jiang Yi..."

"Mr. Qin, do you really think Chao Ning is suitable to take charge of the Jiang family?"

"I don't think so!" Qin Ge replied without hesitation. "But that's not important. What's important is that she's easier for me to control."

"You don't need to call me Mr. Qin, just call me Qin Ge."

"It's just a form of address, it doesn't mean anything. Do whatever makes you comfortable!"

Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment. "Mr. Qin, you're certainly direct. Then let's do as you say and let Chao Ning take over the Jiang family!"

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Qin, I suggest that the investigation into Xu Xiaoluo's matter stop here, focusing on the Chen family."

Qin Ge raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Do you know something?"

Jiang Xianjue shook his head. "I don't know, but I've figured out some of the tricks of the trade."

"I have carefully studied the matter of the suspension of the Qingyin platform. This is not something that an ordinary person can do."

"At least the Chen family of Mo City doesn't have that kind of power; they have someone backing them!"

"If the investigation continues, who knows how many more forces will be implicated, and things might get complicated by then."

Qin Ge narrowed her eyes slightly. "What does it have to do with me if things don't end well? Nor does it have to do with your Jiang family, does it?"

"If no one can handle this, then don't bother trying. I'll see who ends up embarrassed!"

He changed the subject abruptly, "Let's get down to business now!"

"Have someone prepare to take down either the Zhao family or the Min family. Pick one, and let me see the strength of your Jiang family!"

"Your Jiang family has lost quite a few people tonight. If you're too busy, you can take a break. I'm not in a hurry."

"Let's see how those powerful families in Beidu react after they find out what happened tonight!"

......

Early morning, at the Zhao family's residence.

A much older Hou Qin reported as usual, "Sir, it's clear now, Yu Jinxiao is dead!"

"He encountered a martial arts master named Jiang Zhuoqing at the Jiang family's residence. The two fought fiercely, resulting in each other's deaths!"

"What the hell?" Zhao Yu, who hadn't slept all night, was wide awake. "Two grandmasters, fighting each other to death?!"

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?!"

"Sir, I also find it unbelievable, but that's what we've found out!" Hou Qin said helplessly. "Yu Jinxiao is indeed dead, and his and Jiang Zhuoqing's bodies have been taken back to the Shadow Martial Hall!"

"Yu Jinxiao and Jiang Zhuoqing killed and robbed the Jiang family, fought fiercely, and ultimately died from mutual beatings. This is the story told by both Yingwu Hall and the Jiang family."

Zhao Yu's mind was in a mess; his lips moved several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Hou Qin continued, "In addition, the Shadow Martial Hall, led by Feng Shuofang, and others are all dead. They died in the cemetery in the west of the city, which should have been done by Yu Jinxiao."

"The situation at Yunxi Residence is even more bizarre, with hundreds of people killed or injured. In the end, the Xuan'an Bureau held on and captured many prisoners. Now, many people in Beidu are getting restless."

"Hundreds of people?" Zhao Yu's mind was even more confused. "How did the Xuan'an Bureau manage to hold them off?"

"Did they deploy so many people around Cloud Dwelling?"

Hou Qin said, "It's still unclear how the Xuan'an Bureau managed to do it."

"However, they also suffered heavy losses; only a few survived!"

"Sir, this matter has blown up too much. The Liang family is definitely finished. Who knows how many other people are involved? Luckily, we didn't get involved!"

Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, "Could it be Qin Ge?"

"Was his departure from Yunxi Residence last night just a feint to lure those people in, before he quietly returned to Yunxi Residence himself?"

"Have you found out where he went after leaving Yunxi Residence?"

Hou Qin shook his head awkwardly, "No."

"Qin Ge disappeared after leaving Yunxi Residence and hasn't reappeared since!"

"It's unlikely he was at Yunxi Residence. If he were, the Xuan'an Bureau wouldn't have suffered so many deaths, would it?"

"It's unlikely to be acting; the deaths of so many people in the Xuan'an Bureau were real!"
