Qifeng Gorge is a must-pass route for Xus family to transport goods, and there are not many people who usually pass by. This news is extremely unfavorable to the Xu family.

  "Lord Kong, now that the evidence is conclusive, Shi Pojuns mysterious disappearance points to the Xu family as the prime suspects. Please issue an order to bring in the relevant members of the Xu family for questioning, and await Your Majestys wise decision."

  Xue Chunyu bowed his head and nodded, the final decision-making power was in the hands of Old Man Kong.

  "Xue Shilang, youre spitting blood at people!"

  Xu Yilin spat out a mouthful of blood, all the attendants were filled with indignation, but couldnt say a word. Everyone in their hearts understood that the investigation team needed an excuse and a scapegoat, and the Xu family was the most suitable one.

  Shi Pojun disappeared, someone has to take the blame.

  Xue Chunyu sneered and didnt respond to Xu Yilin, waiting for Old Kongs reply.

  "What do you think?"

  Kong Lao didnt directly answer Xue Chunyu, instead he looked at Bai Qiu and Gao Huan, listening to their opinions.

  "After careful consideration, although there is no solid evidence, this matter seems to have some connection with the Xu family. Shi Pojun was last seen disappearing at Qifeng Gorge, where the Xu familys convoy also passed through that day. I suggest taking away the guards who transported goods on that day and sending them to the capital for further investigation by the Ministry of Justice. This would be more appropriate. If the Xu family is indeed innocent, they can be released."

  Chen Lu, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He was a member of the imperial family, but he did not represent the official side, nor the military, and even less so the Imperial Academy.

  "I agree with Mr. Chens statement, Shi Pojuns bow and arrow appeared in Qifeng Gorge, the Xu family has an inseparable connection, all relevant personnel must be taken away."

  Bai Qiu agreed with Chen Lus approach and first put him in a large prison, waiting for the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate before making a final decision.

  Arriving at the Imperial City, the life and death of the Xu family was no longer in their own control, life and death were all up to their words.

  "What does high mentor mean?"

  Gao Hang did not comment, the Imperial Academy has students leaving every year to join the military or return to their hometowns. The soldiers who died had left the academy a few years ago and were sent here this time just as part of the procession.

  "I remain silent!"

  This is Gao Hangs attitude, neither supporting Xue Chunyu nor Xu Jia, staying out of the matter.

  Next, Kong Laos attitude is especially important. With just one word from him, the fate of the Xu family will be decided. Lan Zhi and others held their breaths. The Xu family had just shown signs of recovery, and the military equipment workshop was revitalized once again.

  The mine veins are arranged in a defensive formation on Mount Guardian, no longer worrying about being ambushed, the entire Xu family is rapidly developing.

  "Treasures of Danbao Pavilion have arrived!"

  At this time, a loud voice came from outside, and Bi Gongyu, the master of Danbao Pavilion, walked in with big strides, without even reporting, and stepped into the main hall.

  "Mr. Bi has come uninvited and disturbed you, please forgive him, Master Xu."

  Xu Yilin clasped his fists in greeting and immediately looked over at Old Man Kong, between whom there should be no unfamiliarity.

  "Junior Bi Gongyu has met with Old Man Kong!"

  He bowed his head and nodded to Xue Chunyu and the others, which was a greeting. The Danbao Pavilion had an extremely high status, and Bi Gongyu was also the master of one pavilion, so he was not ordinary.

  "What brings you here, Director Bi? We are currently investigating the news of Shi Pojuns disappearance."

  Xue Chunyu was somewhat displeased. Bi Gongyu suddenly arrived, interrupting their rhythm. If Kong Lao had said one more word, the investigation teams mission would have been considered a complete success.

  Only Liu Wuze had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he didnt feel any surprise at Bi Gongyus arrival. He looked at his father-in-law and gave him a reassuring look, telling him not to worry.

  "Ive come regarding Shi Pojuns disappearance, bringing some useful information, hoping it will be of help to everyone."

  Bì Gōng Yǔ pulled out a list of materials from his pocket and placed it on the table.

  Everyones gaze passed by, and on it were written many names of spiritual medicines.

  "It is well-known that our Danbao Pavilion is researching a new medicine. The young master Wuyi has exceptional talent, and on the day I was not in Canglang City, he discussed with Master Huo the art of alchemy. Ten days ago, they exchanged ideas and researched a new type of elixir, but it still lacks several ingredients. Young Master Wuyi is willing to go to Luori Mountain Range to collect them."

  "This spiritual medicine only grows on the Twin Towers Mountain, and it takes five or six days to come and go from Canglang City. This is the medicinal material he brought back yesterday, please take a look."

  Yesterday, Liu Wuxies trip to Danbao Pavilion was definitely not hidden from them and had already been investigated.

  Including ten days ago, Liu Wuxie went to Danbao Pavilion and delivered the Tianling Dan. All this information is clearly grasped by the investigation team, and every word that Bi Gongyu said was true.

  Everyone was stunned, Dan Bao Ge actually stood up for the Xu family and clarified that Liu Wu Xie had nothing to do with this matter.

  "Bì Gōngzhǔ, are you aware that every word you say concerns the life and death of Shí Pòjūn?"

  Xue Chunyus eyes turned cold, and he revered Dan Bao Ge, but was not afraid.

  "The reports in your hands should have detailed records of every move made by everyone in Canglang City recently. Take a look and youll see that I, Liu Gongzi, am not willing to be framed by someone. Please be cautious."

  Bì Gōng Yǔs attitude was unexpectedly strong, and the investigation results were about to be settled. However, Dān Bǎo Gé intervened at the last minute. What did he want to do? Was it true that Lǚ Wú Xiāo had a heavenly gift as he claimed?

  What a joke.

  These big shots will not care about the life and death of these small people.

  "Even if Shi Pojun had nothing to do with him, what about the Zhi Feng Xia incident? The Xu familys convoy passed through Zhi Feng Xia, and the arrow marks left by Shi Pojun were also found here. Dare you say that the Xu family knew nothing about it?"

  Xue Chunyu took a step back, wiping out the Xu family, leaving only one Liu Wuxie, who could be wiped out with just a raise of his hand or a lift of his foot.

  Bi Gongyus main goal was to protect Liu Wuxie, and he hadnt really considered this matter. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he didnt expect that the Xu family would become the last scapegoat. Moreover, judging from the situation, the investigation team had already reached a unanimous opinion.

  Protecting Liu Wuxie is equivalent to protecting the Tianling Dan. When the nest is overturned, how can there be unbroken eggs? If the Xu family is lost, how can Liu Wuxie alone remain intact?

  "The Lord of Canglang City has arrived!"

  A majestic figure quickly entered the grand hall, and things took a dramatic turn. First, the master of Danbao Pavilion appeared, followed by City Master Qi Enshi, leaving the entire Xu family bewildered.

  The three households in front had been surveyed for no more than two hours, but now the sky was dark and it was already time to light the lamps, yet three hours had passed and they still hadnt come out.

  Outside the Xu familys gate, many scouts gathered, a large amount of information was transmitted out, and everyone was guessing whether the Xu family could pass this level.

  "Students pay respects to Master Kong, colleagues."

  Zhen Shi bowed his head and saluted, having attended Kong Laos lectures in the past. He had addressed students before, but when he looked at the master of Danbao Pavilion, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

  "Brother Qi, what brings you here? Are you also investigating the Shi Pojun case?"

  Xue Chunyu asked in confusion, the small Xujia family had brought the master of Danbao Pavilion to their doorstep to clear things up, and Qi Enshi had come again, but he couldnt make sense of it.

  "I came to prove the innocence of the Xu family. The Xu familys convoy has been attacked by mysterious bandits for several days, and the master of the Xu family asked me to request that the city lord send troops to sweep away the mountain bandits. As the city lord, with such a thing happening in my territory, I certainly cannot ignore it, so I sent people to investigate the truth. According to our investigation, those mysterious mountain bandits had already left the Luori Mountains half a month ago."

  Zhen Shi finished speaking and looked over at Xu Yi Lin, who blinked his eyes to signal him not to speak, which was a way of excusing the Xu family.

  Xu Yilin was stunned, when had he ever looked for the City Masters Mansion?

  Xue Chunyu is so stupid!

  Bai Qius eyes narrowed!

  Bì Gōngyǔs eyes lit up!

  ……

  Everyones expression was different, and Qien Shi surprisingly took the initiative to stand out and prove Xus innocence. The arrow scar left by Zhi Feng Xia was something that happened many days ago. Xus caravan did not encounter mountain bandits and returned safely to Canglang City.

  "Brother Zhi, do you know what youre talking about?!"

  Xue Chunyu took a deep breath, the city masters words still carried weight, continuing to sanction the Xu family was unreasonable both emotionally and logically, plus Dan Bao Ge stepping in, forcing the investigation team to reconsider.

  "My words are not finished yet. According to my investigation, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group left Canglan City a few days ago, and Shi Po Juns disappearance is closely related to them."

  Zien Shi took out a report that detailed the Wolf Fang Mercenaries various misdeeds.

  The grand hall fell into a silence, the investigation reached a dead end, and the Xu family was completely cleared of suspicion. According to the report provided by Qi Enshi, it is highly likely that Shi Pojuns disappearance case was caused by Lang Ya.

  Wolfs Tooth Washing Spirit Fivefold, possesses the ability to destroy and break through Stone Breaking Army, reasonable and justified.

  "What did you say, Master Kong?"

  Xue Chunyus face was gloomy and terrifying, he asked in a low voice to Old Kung, whether to continue the investigation.

  Kong Laos gaze swept over the crowd, from start to finish, never speaking much. His body suddenly stood up, his hands clasped together: "Master Xu, Ive disturbed you too much."

  After finishing speaking, he walked out of the imperial palace, and as soon as this was said, the Xu family felt relieved of a heavy burden.

  Xue Chunyu wanted to say something more, but couldnt get a word out. He fiercely shook his head and as he was about to leave, his gaze fell on Liu Wuxies face with an expression that seemed to bore into the soul.

  "Go slowly, old fellow!"

  Zhen Shi did not leave the main hall and stayed in his place. The high-ranking members of the Xu family collectively bid farewell to Grandmaster Kong.

  In the grand hall, only three people were left: Bi Gongyu, Qi Enshi, and Liu Wuxie.

  "Mr. Liu, I wont disturb you anymore, well talk again when we have a chance."

  Bi Gongyu stood up, cupped his hands together in a gesture of respect, and left alone.

  "Master Liu, these things were sent by you!"

  The grand hall was left with just the two of them, and Qien Shis face turned gloomy as he suddenly asked.

  "How can you be certain that it was I who sent it?"

  Liu Wu Xie and others acknowledged that the things were sent to the city masters mansion by his men, but he was curious why Qi En Shi didnt go find his father-in-law, instead coming directly to him.

  "Tell me, where is Zhou Hu now?"

  Zhen Shi was too lazy to bother with him, and with a little thought, he could guess that the package was sent by Liu Wu Xie, Xu Yi Lin had never left Cang Lang City.

  Whats even more frightening is that many people from the Tian family and Yan family who were sent out have lost contact for several days, during which time Liu Wuxie has been staying in the mountains.

  Zi En Shi can be certain that Lang Ya and Tian, Wans family will never come back. Framing the dead is the most suitable thing to do.

  The only thing that puzzled Zhen Shi was how so many masters had disappeared, and whether they had all died at the hands of Liu Wuxie. He quickly shook his head, denying his own thoughts, and there was only one possibility: behind Liu Wuxie stood a powerful figure, secretly protecting him.

  From a waste, suddenly rising, no one secretly instructs, absolutely impossible.

  On his way here, Zien Shi analyzed it countless times and finally came to this conclusion.

  "Do you want to know?" Liu Wuxie let out a soft laugh: "But why should I tell you."
