en in a good mood.What troubled him even more was that he had mobilized all the family's resources to investigate the matter five years ago, to see if there were any loose ends in the Zheng family. Bu...[]
"Hmm!" Yejiji nodded and continued,
Three years after that incident, Chu Jun disappeared from the public eye and has not been seen since.
However, according to our recent sources, over a year ago, someone named Hong Wei entered the core membership of the Chu clan.
“I had someone look into his background, but they couldn't find anything useful. It seems like something has been tampered with.”
"Oh" The judge's eyes lit up: "Sister Ji, are you saying that this Hong Wei is actually Chu Jun"
"Mmm!" Yejie nodded again.
"Although Hong Wei's features are completely different from Chu Jun's, after our extensive verification, we confirm that it is the same person!"
"No wonder Chu Jun has never been heard from again after that!" After hearing Ye Ji's words, Yuan Hua looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Sister Ji, Hong Wei should be in the capital city, right" Han Yue asked.
"Um!" Yejie nodded in response.
After confirming that the two were the same person, arrangements were made to have someone watch them for 24 hours.
"As far as I know, Chu Jun's skill was already at the peak of the War God Realm three years ago. It should be difficult for ordinary people to keep up with him and he wouldn't notice anything, right" Yuan Hua spoke again.
"Don't worry, Hei Gong, I guarantee it won't!" Ye Ji responded with a smile.
Yikes!
Heizi couldn't help but gasp as he heard Ye Ji's words. It seemed the person tailing them was no ordinary figure, likely at least on par with him in terms of strength!
He was absolutely certain it wasn't someone from Yingmen! Knowing Yingmen like he did, there was no way anyone of that caliber could exist outside the Five Elite Blades.
This made him once again admire Ling Hao from the bottom of his heart. The people around him were not good people, each one more ruthless than the last!
"Has Hong Wei been acting strangely these days" Lu Yue asked after taking a sip of tea.
"There's no movement for now!" Yejie shook her head in response.
"Perhaps the Chu clan was overconfident, or they simply thought we had no idea that Hong Wei was Chu Jun. Either way, there were no signs of anything amiss."
"Nightingale, have someone draft a Shadow Gate letter in my name and send it to the Chu clan." At this time, Ling Hao spoke softly.
"Just say that Yingmen has been ordered to apprehend a Level SSS wanted criminal. According to reliable information, the criminal's name is Chu Jun and he is from the Chu family. He should be hiding in the Chu Mansion. Yingmen will go to the Chu family shortly to pick him up, please cooperate."
"Received!" Yejī was slightly taken aback before taking out her phone and arranging it.
"General, the Chu clan has never publicly acknowledged Chu Jun's existence. Sending a letter might not be effective." Yuan Hua spoke after a moment of contemplation.
Even if the Chu family admitted his identity, would you expect them to hand him over willingly" Lu Yue raised his teacup and took a sip before giving a faint smile.
"What does the Marshal mean" Yuanhua was slightly taken aback.
"First come courtesy, then warfare!" Lu Yue smiled again. "The Shadow Gate can't just go to the Chu family and demand someone without a reason, can they"
"But, since we know where Chu Jun is, why not just go and capture him directly instead of going to the Chu Residence" Yuan Hua said, his face full of confusion.
"Hmph, if it's just about catching Chu Jun, there's no need for Big Brother to personally go to the capital!" Lu Yue responded with a smile.
"Oh!"
Yuan Hua was stunned once again.
Having heard this, even if he was an idiot, he would have understood that the general's intention wasn't in the wine itself!
"Big brother, when are we leaving for the Chu residence" Chuihun asked.
"No rush, let's wait a little longer." Ling Hao smiled faintly. "First, we need to send the people at the door away, and besides, the person who should be coming hasn't arrived yet!"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just then, a young man from the Shadow Gate strode in.
"Reporting to the General, officers from the Imperial Guard forcefully breached the gate. Inspector Zhou Liang tried to stop them but was injured by them!"
"Damn it, do they really think we're easy to mess with" Both Chiu Hun and Bian Cheng jumped up at the same time.
"Let's go out and see!"
Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, he got up and walked towards the door, everyone followed closely behind.
No, one person arrived at the open space in front of the courtyard.
Only seeing the Shadow Gate disciple was confronting the guards from the Imperial Guard and the Forbidden Army. Zhou Liang and over a dozen other Shadow Gate disciples had some injuries, with faint bloodstains oozing from their mouths.
"All hail the Imperial Guards, Xie Yunhan attends to Ling Shuai!"
"All Imperial Guards, Zhang Deming reports to Ling Shuai!"
"Greetings, General Ling! I am He Yunbo of the Imperial Guard."
"Wang Hongliang of the Imperial Guard, sees Ling Shuai!"
Upon seeing Ling Hao, the four bowed simultaneously, their faces displaying a variety of expressions.
"See, it's Ling Shuai!" All the guards behind the four men simultaneously bowed in respect.
"Who did it" Ling Hao casually glanced at Xie Yunhan, then turned to Zhang Liang and spoke softly.
"Reporting to the commander, Wang Hongliang led a group of men and forcefully entered the estate. My subordinates tried to stop them but were injured by him." Zhou Liang's face flashed with shame as he bowed in response: "I am inferior to others in skill and have brought shame upon the Shadow Gate. Please punish me, commander!"
"Whose hand was it" Ling Hao turned his head to look at Wang Hongliang, his tone very calm.
"Ling Shuai, although you are one of the Five Great Dukes, is what you did today a bit too much We were there early this morning..." Wang Hongliang took a deep breath before responding.
"Xiao Si! You dare to speak disrespectfully to the commander!" Wang Hongliang's words were cut short as the five elite assassins of Yingmen simultaneously spoke in cold, harsh voices.
As a deputy of the Imperial Guard, to speak to the Grand Marshal like this, he truly doesn't know how to write the word "death"!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, two sword beams shot out from Lang and Han Yue's hands, hurtling straight towards Wang Hongliang.
"Hongliang, be careful!" He Yunbo cried out in alarm. His sword unsheathed simultaneously, his wrist flipping with a graceful motion as a cold glint darted towards the moonlight's blade.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
After their attacks collided, He Yunbo quickly retreated seven or eight steps before regaining his balance. The concrete beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb.
"Half-Step Martial Venerable!"
He Yunduo's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect Han Yue's skill to be so formidable.
"If you dare to draw your sword in front of the marshal again, you're dead!"
After retreating three or four steps, Han Yue stabilized her figure. Her eyes were cold as she stared at He Yunbo and spoke.
Bang!
At the same time, the wolf's blade flashed across Wang Hongliang's shoulder, severing his arm cleanly at the shoulder. Blood spurted out like a column.
"Ah!" Wang Hongliang cried out in pain, his face contorted with rage.
Ouch!
Xie Yunhan and Zhang Deming both gasped in unison, their faces filled with astonishment.
They never showed up again. The people from the Shadow Gate were so domineering, they cut off Wang Hongliang's arm with a single strike.
"Do you know why I'm cutting off your arm" Ling Hao looked at Wang Hongliang and said calmly.
"You and I," Wang Hongliang gritted his teeth in pain.
"Seems like you still don't understand!" Ling Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Night-Kissed, tell him what crime he has committed!"countless fierce afterimages in the air. They surged with overwhelming energy, attacking Ling Hao relentlessly, their momentum shaking the heavens!"Ignorant fool!" Ling Hao spoke in a low voice, his...
