109: The most precious treasures of heaven and earth, representing the ultimate Yang.

Outside the villa, rows of maple trees shed yellowing leaves.

Rustle—

Cleaners were sweeping the street.

"They're almost all gone." The cleaner looked at the bare maple trees.

Cough, cough—

A violent cough sounded. Tang Jinghui's face was deathly pale, and he waved his hand at the auxiliary instructor treating him.

"It's useless. Don't waste your spiritual power."

Tang Jinghui said.

"I know my injuries best. I missed the optimal treatment time long ago, and they will only get worse."

"Alas."

Su Youlan, the auxiliary Practitioner present who had reached the Domain Realm, sighed.

"Instructor Su, Teacher's injury..." Fu Jingjie hesitated.

"I instructed Instructor Tang many times not to fight, not to fight, but he just wouldn't listen."

"He could originally have lasted three more years, but now it seems difficult for him to survive even three months."

"Can it be cured?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"No, but we can prolong his life." Su Youlan explained patiently.

"When Instructor Tang was young, he was injured by a Domain Realm Demon King named Bing Yuan. Fortunately, he was a Fire Attribute Practitioner and barely survived."

"Firstly, he has no hope of breaking through to the Saint Realm in this lifetime. Secondly, the cold poison is spreading through his internal organs. Only a heaven and earth spirit treasure of Supreme Yang Material can prolong his life!"

A heaven and earth spirit treasure of Supreme Yang Material?

"Will this work?" Lu Yuan took out a bottle containing golden blood from his storage ring.

"dragon blood!"

Su Youlan recognized the dragon blood in the bottle immediately, and it weighed over one jin!

Where did Lu Yuan get so much dragon blood? The Wind-Splitting Alliance Elder in the villa was equally surprised.

Only the informed Fu Jingjie gave a wry smile and shook his head lightly.

After receiving confirmation from Su Youlan, Lu Yuan opened the stopper, preparing to let Tang Jinghui take it.

"dragon blood is extremely precious. I cannot let you lose a life-saving trump card because of me."

Hearing Tang Jinghui's words, Fu Jingjie wore an 'I knew it' expression.

What Tang Jinghui said to Lu Yuan now was exactly the same as what he had said to him back then.

"If I take this dragon blood, I can only prolong my miserable existence for half a year at most. What is the point?" Tang Jinghui looked at Lu Yuan, enduring the pain to sit upright on the sofa.

"Over the years, too many heaven and earth spirit treasures have been wasted because of my injury—the Headmaster, the Wood Element Alliance Leader, the Leader of the Wind Rending Alliance..."

Tang Jinghui spoke the names of one major figure after another, his expression filled with emotion.

These people were all helping him, but to no avail.

"Keep the dragon blood safe. Taking you and Jingjie as my disciples in this lifetime means I haven't lived in vain." Tang Jinghui smiled.

"Have you figured out which force those assassins came from?"

Watching Tang Jinghui change the subject, Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment before finally putting the dragon blood back into his storage ring.

"A heaven and earth spirit treasure of Pure Yang Material."

Su Youlan's words echoed in Lu Yuan's ears.

"According to Junior Brother Lu Yuan's analysis, they are Ancient Professionals from the Great Shun Dynasty," Fu Jingjie said.

"The Great Shun Dynasty?"

Tang Jinghui cheered up.

"It's close to what I estimated. The Spirit Skills these assassins used are ancient and haven't been improved." Tang Jinghui played the footage of Chu Wushe fighting the assassins.

He had stayed up studying it for a day and a night.

Coupled with the assassins Lu Yuan killed, the evidence is conclusive!

With conclusive evidence that the assassins were Ancient Professionals from the Great Shun Dynasty, a new problem arose.

How should they find the lair of these Ancient Professionals, and who gave them the orders?

"If only Prosperous had done it," Fu Jingjie said, rubbing his aching head.

If it had been Prosperous, or some other force within Huaxia.

Once the investigation was complete, the matter would be resolved perfectly within half an hour at most.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, are you listening?" Fu Jingjie looked at the distracted Lu Yuan.

"Ancient Professionals don't have identification. Just check them city by city, capture a live one, and interrogate them. Interrogation is Senior Fu's specialty."

Lu Yuan said.

Searching city by city is an enormous workload, but it is easy for the Seven Alliances and One Hall.

After all, sending one or two Domain Realm Experts to oversee a city is enough. If manpower is insufficient, they still have the Five Great Top Academies, the Jiang Family of Modu, and other great family forces.

Lu Yuan was indeed not listening to Fu Jingjie's chatter; his mind was entirely focused on the heaven and earth spirit treasure of Supreme Yang Material.

"It seems this is the only way for now." Fu Jingjie agreed with Lu Yuan's suggestion.

This was indeed the case; Fu Jingjie received a notice from the Wind-Splitting Alliance.

The Alliance Leaders decided to start checking the five major Super-First-Tier Cities first. Fu Jingjie was assigned to Pengcheng City, with a deadline of two days.

"Teacher, please take care of your health. I'm going to discuss the specifics of the city lockdown with the mayor."

Fu Jingjie said to Tang Jinghui.

"Be careful." Tang Jinghui rarely spoke such words of concern.

Ever since Fu Jingjie graduated and became a Wind-Splitting Alliance Elder, Tang Jinghui's attitude toward this disciple had become less strict.

After Fu Jingjie left, only Tang Jinghui and Lu Yuan remained in the villa.

After confirming Lu Yuan was fine, Jiang Tianxia had already returned to Modu.

"The assassins' origins have been investigated; only Prosperous remains."

After a brief silence, Tang Jinghui spoke first.

"Xing Wenan's wife, Yin Yirong, has been arrested. He hates you even more than he hates me now!" Tang Jinghui said.

"He brought it upon himself."

Lu Yuan didn't care at all.

He was minding his own business hunting fierce beasts in the No Mans Land, yet Xing Wenan sent people to hunt him down repeatedly.

This time, they even made a move inside the city. It could only be said that he suffered the consequences of his own actions, and he couldn't blame anyone else!

...Noon. It was time for lunch.

In the center of Pengcheng City, there was a high-end residential area named Moxiang Yayuan.

The dishes were sumptuous: dry-fried cauliflower, steamed fish, braised pork, dry-fried bullfrog... "Today's dishes are a bit salty."

Xing Wenan looked at Yin Yirong, who was glancing around and occasionally checking her phone.

"Ah, really?" Yin Yirong said.

"Then fire the chef and hire a new one."

Yin Yirong picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Xing Chenyu's bowl.

"Eat more."

"What's going on with you two today?"

The green orb in his left eye rotated, and Xing Wenan frowned.

Whoosh—

Domain Expansion!

Feeling the Wind Attribute domain, Xing Wenan was profoundly confused.

At this moment, two groups of people stood at the door: one group was from the Censorate, and the other wore uniforms and hats.

"Go ask for identification first." Wang Zhijian, a senior Prosecutor from the Censorate responsible for investigating Prosperous, said.

Seeing the sky covered by a blue barrier, Xing Wenan knew that a Defensive Array had been activated.

Furthermore, two Wind Attribute Domain Realm Experts were circling the area.

Something big was about to happen!

Xing Wenan's heart pounded violently, and he subconsciously thought they were coming to arrest him.

Upon hearing the request for identification, Xing Wenan feigned calmness, lit a cigarette, and took his ID out of his wallet.

"Are there any other people in the house?"

After checking the IDs of the chef and the nanny one by one, the person wearing the uniform and hat asked.

"No."

After taking out an instrument to scan and confirm no one else was present, they proceeded to the next household to investigate.

"Prosecutor Wang, is there something you need? You're welcome to join us for a meal, but if you want to interrogate me, please wait for me at the Prosperous Headquarters." Xing Wenan looked at his old rival, Wang Zhijian.

Because of Wang Zhijian, he had aged more than twenty years.

The already corrupt Prosperous was riddled with holes under Wang Zhijian's investigation. Wang Zhijian investigated relentlessly, and Xing Wenan tried everything to cover it up!

"We're not looking for you. Madam Yin, please come with us." Wang Zhijian took out an arrest warrant.

Boom—

Like a bolt from the blue, Xing Wenan stared wide-eyed at the arrest warrant.

This meant Yin Yirong was definitely going to prison, with no possibility of negotiation!

"Wang Zhijian, you are abusing your authority!" Xing Wenan slammed the table.

"I'm abusing my authority?"

"You should ask what your wife has done!"

"Lu Yuan?" Xing Wenan stared straight into Yin Yirong's eyes.

"Yes."

Xing Wenan's face twitched and contorted, the veins on his forehead clearly visible.

Bang—

The table shattered into pieces, and Xing Wenan watched helplessly as Yin Yirong was taken away!
