I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't be polite to Chu Xiao, who had come to him for help.

He is now a high-level third-rank martial artist.

Can't we just enjoy ourselves?

Moreover, Lu Xuan's motivation wasn't simply for enjoyment, but for a higher level of martial arts cultivation. Only in this way could he protect those around him.

Furthermore, he and Chu Xiao were already very familiar with each other.

Chu Xiao was also very excited.

Although she was a direct descendant of the Chu family, her mother was of low status and was murdered at a young age.

Therefore, Chu Xiao knew from a young age that he had to climb up the social ladder.

Only by making use of the resources around him and climbing higher could he bring the murderers who killed his mother to justice and use their blood to pay tribute to his mother!

With Lu Xuan's help, Chu Xiao will surely be able to go further and achieve greater success!

The two discussed and made an agreement.

Chu Xiao rushed in, grabbed the person, interrogated them, and then everything became clear.

Lu Xuan had just carefully sensed it.

They discovered that there was the aura of a strange beast inside the house.

"A strange beast? If it's a hyena, then we've caught them red-handed!"

Although the beasts were powerful, Chu Xiao was not worried. With Lu Xuan backing him up, he could handle any number of them.

Just as the two were about to make their move.

Chu Xiao saw several figures again, seemingly having received the news, quickly entering the dilapidated courtyard.

Such a dilapidated courtyard in Ding'an County is surprisingly lively tonight.

Chu Xiao and Lu Xuan exchanged a glance.

Then Chu Xiao flipped over and flew away.

Whoosh!

Chu Xiao's figure landed in the courtyard.

She immediately sensed that several auras were locking onto her.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures rushed out of the house and surrounded Chu Xiao.

"Who is this reckless fool who dares to break into a private residence?"

One of them lowered his voice, but Chu Xiao could still tell that the person's accent was not that of a native of the Xuanwu Dynasty.

"Xuanwu Dynasty, Fengwu Hall Investigates a Case!"

"What do you want? Put down your weapons!"

Chu Xiao revealed his identity token.

Upon hearing that it was Fengwu Hall, a hint of panic appeared in the eyes of the three.

"They're from the Fengwu Hall!"

"So what if she's from Fengwu Hall? She's all alone, what's there to be afraid of!"

The three were talking, clearly preparing to make a move.

But at this moment

A strong, resonant voice came from inside the house.

"stop."

He is clearly a martial arts master.

The other person pushed open the door and came out, staring at Chu Xiao in front of him.

Beside that burly man with a powerful voice was another person, who was also the head of the Bai family, Bai Pobing.

After Lu Xuan attacked and broke into the Bai family, Bai Pobing disregarded everything and abandoned everything in the Bai family, fleeing here specifically to escape. Clearly, there was something more important here.

"Patriarch Bai, you did well this time. Fengwu Hall will definitely reward you handsomely."

When Chu Xiao saw Bai Pobing.

Suddenly, a thought struck me.

Then he said to Bai Pobing.

Bai Pobing, who had been filled with murderous intent, turned to astonishment upon hearing Chu Xiao's words and quickly looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

"This... she's trying to sow discord."

The middle-aged man didn't say much, his gaze shifting between surprise and doubt as he looked around.

"Hehe, there's no point in trying to sow discord. The fact that they were able to find this place means they've already discovered something."

"Are you alone?"

The middle-aged man did not find any other martial artists around.

He immediately scoffed.

"Looks like another greedy and ambitious person who wants to claim all the credit? You officials of the dynasty are all greedy."

"Judging from your cultivation level, you've barely reached the high stage of the first rank. You're not an important figure in the Fengwu Hall either. So, how about joining us?"

"I guarantee that I will help you break through to the second rank within two years."

"You will enjoy endless wealth and honor, and we can also provide you with martial arts secrets. We will even fully support you in your rise to a higher position in the Fengwu Hall."

The middle-aged man stared intently at Chu Xiao as he spoke.

"Heh, what a boastful statement."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao sneered, showing utter disdain.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man opposite him immediately frowned.

"Since he is so stubborn, let's send this loyal subject of the dynasty on his way."

The middle-aged man shouted.

Then he waved his hand.

The three, who had been unable to restrain themselves any longer, drew their swords and slashed fiercely at Chu Xiao's head.

All three of them possessed the strength of a high-level first-grade expert!

Chu Xiao also drew his sword with a whoosh.

Just as they were preparing to fight these people.

Suddenly, he saw three arrows flying from behind him.

call out!call out!call out!

The arrow bypassed him and struck the three men directly in the chest.

puff!puff!puff!

The three men were sent flying backward, their chests blasted open with bloody holes.

"What!?"

Bai Pobing and the middle-aged man were shocked to see this.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly turned and pounced towards Chu Xiao.

Furthermore, it released its own true qi cultivation.

It was clearly at the high-level of the second rank!

Second grade high level!

When Chu Xiao sensed the other party's cultivation level, his heart sank.

After all, the gap between himself and a second-grade high-level expert was too great.

Even just this aura made it hard for Chu Xiao to breathe.

But the opponent's momentum had only just begun to erupt.

The next moment, another arrow fell from the sky.

It shot towards the middle-aged man.

puff!

The middle-aged man originally intended to rely on his internal energy to fight back.

Little did he know that the arrow would pierce through his dantian in an instant.

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man was sent flying backward.

His body collapsed to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.

The excruciating abdominal pain also left him bewildered.

The person who made this move must be at least a third-grade cultivator!

"Old Bai... release him now!"

Despite the excruciating pain, the middle-aged man roared at the white-clad man.

Bai Pobing was taken aback.

He then realized what was happening and immediately took out a jade slip from his pocket.

Seeing Bai Pobing's actions, Chu Xiao realized that Bai Pobing was definitely going to cause trouble. Although he didn't know what Bai Pobing wanted him to release, he absolutely couldn't let him crush the jade slip.

He immediately swung his sword at Bai Pobing.

However, although Bai Pobing appeared weak, he was actually a genuine second-rank master.

Seeing Chu Xiao step forward, Bai Pobing also raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

Chu Xiao was immediately forced back by the powerful true energy released by it.

But the next moment.

An arrow pierced through the air.

"puff!"

Bai Pobing's arm, which was holding the jade slip, was also pierced by an arrow, and his entire arm was instantly blown off.

"what!"

Bai Pobing roared in pain.

Blood was gushing from the severed arm.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao seized the opportunity to step forward. While Bai Pobing was unable to move due to pain, he thrust out several swords in succession, piercing more than a dozen bloody holes in Bai Pobing's body, blocking the flow of true qi in his meridians and acupoints, without harming his life.

If Bai Pobing is indeed a vanguard pawn planted by the Night Cool Kingdom.

Therefore, Bai Pobing must possess even more important information.

"what!"

Bai Pobing collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.

The middle-aged man not far away was also too badly injured and immediately fell unconscious.

Ultimately, he was still unable to crush the jade slip.

Although Lu Xuan did not use physical arrows, the arrows formed from his internal energy were still incredibly powerful.

Everyone in the courtyard was completely helpless and unable to even escape.

Chu Xiao picked up the jade slip.

It was discovered that this jade slip was actually used to control the strange beast, the hyena!

Fortunately, Lu Xuan intervened and stopped the other party.

Otherwise, if this hyena were to escape, it would definitely pose a threat to Yongkang County.

Putting aside everything else, dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people would surely die.

"Patriarch Bai, you've truly fallen into my hands this time."

Chu Xiao gestured to the jade slip in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips.

A short while later, a large number of county guards burst through the gate, led by Chen Zhao, the commander of the county guard regiment.

Those who could serve as corps commanders in such chaotic places were basically entrusted with important responsibilities by the imperial court.

Chu Xiao had seen Chen Zhao before.

After all, some of the officials in Jinyuan City knew about it to some extent.

Chen Zhao was originally a member of the Chen family in Jinyuan City.

Although the Chen family is not a large family, it has produced several influential figures.

This was the same Chen Zhao whom Chu Xiao had previously informed.

After all, this is Chen Zhao's territory.

"Lord Chu!"

Chen Zhao approached Chu Xiao and greeted him.

"Lord Chen."

"These people are spies from the Kingdom of Ye Liang. I request that Lord Chen send troops to detain them. Also, please send people to search the vicinity to see if there are any other accomplices."

Chu Xiao said.

"A spy from the Kingdom of Night Cool?! Damn it, how dare they trespass on my territory!"

"Arrest them all!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao realized that a spy from the Ye Liang Kingdom had been discovered in Yongkang County. If this wasn't handled properly, the consequences would be unimaginable. If anything happened, Chen Zhao would be the first to lose his head.

With Lu Xuan's intervention, almost everyone was left with just a breath of life.

The strongest one, the middle-aged man, was seriously injured; his dantian was damaged, and he had lost all his cultivation.

Lu Xuan put away the Mastiff Feather Bow in his hand.

These low-level games are just that easy to play.

Lu Xuan did not leave immediately.

After all, he didn't know if there were other people from Yeliang Kingdom in Yongkang County. If he left now and they came to kill him again, that would be troublesome.

They continued to observe from the shadows, while also waiting for reinforcements from the Fengwu Hall to arrive.

Soon, Chu Xiao and the others discovered two sleeping hyenas in an underground secret room in the courtyard!

If these two strange beasts were actually awakened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Chen Zhao saw this scene, he also gasped sharply.

"Lord Chu, you saved my life!"

"If we let these bastards cause trouble here, then Zhenxiguan will be caught in a pincer movement."

"At that time, even if my Chen family had a lot of heads, it wouldn't be enough to make up for the losses."

Chen Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.

It's quite normal for these people to have infiltrated; after all, even the most comprehensive net will have loopholes.

But these two enormous beasts were hidden right under Yongkang County, and Chen Zhao didn't even notice them. That's clearly a case of inadequate supervision.

"Lord Chen, you are too kind. I will report this to the Fengwu Hall. Lord Chen and his men have made a great contribution in assisting this operation. I believe the higher-ups will not hold it against us."

Chu Xiao said calmly.

These words completely put Chen Zhao's mind at ease.

It was in the early hours of the morning.

Two fast horses galloped in from afar.

The people on horseback, dressed in uniform, exuded a unified and austere aura.

The arrival was none other than the experts from the Fengwu Hall of Jinyuan City.

Seeing the experts from Fengwu Hall arrive to take over, Chu Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking up at his surroundings, he could no longer see Lu Xuan.

This time, his godfather had done him a great service.

When I get back, I must thank my godfather properly!

In a secluded farm on the outskirts of Yongkang County.

A man, looking anxious, hurriedly arrived in front of the farm.

"My lord...something terrible has happened..."

"Lieutenant General Liu and his gang's hideout has been raided!"
