Chu Yang was urgently summoned and arrived at Wei Daosheng's temporary residence.

He was somewhat surprised when he heard that the prize money was 10.5 billion.

"So many?"

During his ten years in Longyuan, the money he earned for the old man was well over a hundred billion.

But now that he owns assets worth billions, the feeling is completely different.

Even Wei Daosheng's eyes were filled with envy.

"The bounty for the Four Shadow Blades is 2 billion, and the reward for the former Dark Investigator is 1 billion. The national treasures you recovered are worth over 70 billion at market value. However, if you want the Dragon-Seeing Cauldron, you'll have to pay 1 billion."

To say that the Dragon-Seeing Cauldron is worth ten billion is definitely a bargain, but Chu Yang still frowned slightly and asked:

"Didn't you say that the families of the nobles who were saved would pay for it?"

Wei Daosheng sighed with a wry smile and said, "Among those people, apart from Provincial Governor Gu Yuanqiao, the other nine families refused to pay any money. They even went back on their word, denying that the child was kidnapped and refusing to admit that he was rescued yesterday."

"This morning, I received many calls from important figures, urging me to suppress this matter at all costs."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang understood the reason.

Apart from Gu Yuanqiao, it's likely that all the other prominent families were coerced into working for the Japanese.

If this matter is investigated further, those powerful families are worried about being found out about their problems, which is why they are reacting this way.

Now it seems that saving those people will not only be fruitless, but will also likely incur resentment.

Gu Yuanqiao was not threatened because he killed the Japanese spy who was disguised as Gu Chen.

By a twist of fate, they ended up saving Gu Yuanqiao and Gu Chen.

"Anyway, I didn't expect anything in return when I saved them. I just felt that the people of Great Xia should help each other."

"Keep the money from Jianlongding. Also, transfer the 1 billion yuan reward for finding the head of former undercover agent Dong Zhenguo directly to his family."

Wei Daosheng frowned slightly and said, "So many? All of them?"

Chu Yang smiled sadly: "I've looked at his case file in the system. Throughout his life, he solved numerous extraordinary cases, and every year he donated all the money he earned as an undercover investigator to charity. Now, his wife and children haven't even received their pensions because the cause of death is unknown. If the court won't intervene, I will!"

Wei Daosheng sighed deeply and nodded slightly, saying, "There aren't many people in the world who have this kind of heart. Alright, I'll take care of this for you."

He picked up the teacup thoughtfully, took a sip, and gently put it down.

"Ling Fang, the peak master of the Imperial Sword Peak of the Xuan Yun Sect, Shi Pojun, the peak master of the Cloud Peak, and Zhong Yanran, the peak master of the Jade Maiden Peak, all secretly entered the East Sea. Even the people of the Xuan Yun Sect did not know that they had left."

Chu Yang didn't seem surprised; he simply nodded slightly.

"I'll handle it myself."

Wei Daosheng quickly reminded him, "These three peak masters of the Xuan Yun Sect are not the kind of evil cultivators like the 'Four Blades of Shadow Control' who rely on unorthodox methods. I advise you not to leave today, stay here. Tomorrow morning, I will send a car to take you to the provincial capital."

Chu Yang laughed and stood up: "Forget it, I'm very busy. Just send a car to take me tomorrow. Goodbye!"

His words were not perfunctory.

He has a ton of things to deal with right now, and it's no exaggeration to say he doesn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"Wait a minute!"

Wei Daosheng grabbed Chu Yang.

"It was Elder Xiao and Elder Hua who asked me to keep you here. If you leave, I won't be able to explain it to them..."

Evening, in the suburbs of Donghai, at the office of the Border Inspection Team.

A team member rushed into Li Heihu's office in a panic.

"Sir! Someone rushed in, demanded that we release Rong Tao, and even injured our men."

Li Heihu crossed his legs, a cigar in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, his eyes closed, swaying his body rhythmically to the music.

Upon hearing these words, he calmly stood up.

"What's the panic? The equipment we brought back from the war zone today, the brothers haven't even had a chance to use it yet, have they? Anyone who dares to break into the prison, just give them a good beating."

As soon as Li Heihu stepped into the courtyard, a chilling sword aura rushed towards him.

The blue bricks on the ground were cracked with spider web-like patterns. More than ten disciples of the Xuan Yun Sect stood solemnly in the Big Dipper formation, their white brocade robes embroidered with flowing cloud patterns in silver thread, which gleamed coldly in the twilight.

The stunningly beautiful woman at the head of the group had wide sleeves that flowed down her back, and her long black hair, tied up with a jade hairpin, moved without wind. The Ice Soul Sword hanging at her waist was still unsheathed, yet fine frost flowers had already formed within a radius of ten feet.

Guo Zhenyue stood three steps behind the woman, bowing slightly. The gold crane pattern on his black cloak was dull and lifeless.

His sleeve trembled slightly as he pointed at Li Heihu: "Peak Master Zhong, this is the man who detained Rong Tao."

The beauty known as Master Zhong's eyes sparkled, and her fingertips lightly tapped the hilt of her sword. The air in the entire courtyard suddenly tightened, and the copper bells on the eaves shattered into dust with a "ding".

"I am Zhong Yanran, the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak of the Xuan Yun Sect. I wonder if Lord Li would be so kind as to grant me this favor?"

Her lips parted slightly, and her voice was as clear as ice spring water striking jade.

All the disciples pressed their hands on their sword hilts, and the Big Dipper Formation instantly lit up with starlight. Seven sword energies shot into the sky, tearing the evening glow into scattered fragments.

Li Heihu was suddenly startled.

I knew a ruthless person would come, but I never expected them to be this ruthless.

Putting aside everything else, those disciples alone are all at the Transformation Realm.

Any one of them could hold a place among the various forces in the East China Sea.

That Zhong Yanran has been famous for many years. She is beautiful but ruthless, and she never leaves any of her subordinates alive.

"Haha, so it's a fairy descending upon us! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly. Why don't we come inside and have a chat?"

Li Heihu is a man of principle, so naturally he wouldn't actively push things in an irreversible direction. As the saying goes, "courtesy first, then force!"

Zhong Yanran seemed to have lost her patience, and coldly snorted, "Just because I call you 'Master' doesn't mean you can sit on equal footing with me, the Peak Master! Your subordinate Jiang Tiangang was injured by me. Do you still want to talk to me?"

Li Heihu immediately straightened his face, his eyes turned cold and sharp, and his江湖气气 (jianghu qi, a kind of chivalrous and江湖-like air) was revealed.

"You call yourself a fairy? You really think you're something special? With looks like yours, you'd be sitting on the sidelines every day at our club!"

These words completely broke Zhong Yanran's defenses.

Wherever she goes, she is always fawned over by everyone. When has she ever been belittled to such an extent?

"You're asking for it!"

Before she finished speaking, she leaped up like lightning, her Ice Soul Sword flashing a cold light as it pierced straight for Li Heihu's heart.

"Da da da..."

A series of gunshots rang out like popping beans.

Two Gatling guns, spitting fire, blocked Zhong Yanran's route.

Zhong Yanran's feet slipped into the air, she leaped up, dodging all the bullets, and gracefully landed back on the spot, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.

"Li Heihu! You, a man of the martial world, actually..."

"What the hell?!" Li Heihu didn't hold back his vulgar language. "I'm the Assistant Inspector now. Trespassing on the Assistant Inspector's office is treason, a capital offense! I'm giving you a chance, get lost!"

People in the martial arts world don't mince words, and although these words weren't pleasant to hear, they were already giving Zhong Yanran plenty of face.

But Zhong Yanran is a pampered "fairy" with a narrow mind, so how could she stand this kind of treatment?

She was weighing whether to make a big deal out of it when Guo Zhenyue came over.

"Peak Master Zhong, this man is Chu Yang's right-hand man. You can see from him how domineering Chu Yang is."

"I endured it all, but then Chu Yang actually said... he wanted you and Peak Master Ling to play 'Twin Stars Accompanying the Moon' with him. I couldn't take it anymore! Unfortunately, he also colluded with Xiao Yuening, and I couldn't stop the bullets. I'm ashamed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yanran's eyes turned cold, and she sneered, "Guns? Are they that scary?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhong Yanran's wide sleeves billowed, and the Ice Soul Sword Sheath suddenly pierced into the blue brick.

The ground exploded with spiderweb-like ice patterns, and the chilling air surged toward the guard tower like a white python!

The two concrete guard towers were instantly covered in ice armor, and with a cracking sound, ice spikes pierced through the firing ports.
