Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 119 - 118: He is too?

"Heh heh heh..."

A chilling laughter suddenly echoed in Taiji Hall, making one’s skin crawl.

"Xia Yi, you really have guts, aren’t you afraid of messing up in the end and bringing destruction to the entire Great Xia?"

"Then let it be destroyed."

Xia Yi, clad in a yellow robe, sat in the center of Taiji Hall with an unchanged expression on his face.

"Hahaha... If Great Xia’s ancestors knew they had a beastly descendant like you, they might climb out of their coffins right now, heh heh..."

"Noisy!"

Xia Yi opened his eyes for the first time, and instantly, the originally dim Taiji Hall became as bright as daylight.

He reached out a palm and pressed it forward into the void.

Golden light radiated from his palm.

"Ah... you... Xia Yi... you beast..."

"Great Xia... will be doomed sooner or later because of you..."

...

The voice came to an abrupt stop.

Xia Yi’s expression remained unchanged; he then closed his eyes again, and Taiji Hall once more darkened.

...

Night fell!

Chen Xuan awoke from his cultivation.

"So fast!"

He marveled internally at how, as his level increased, he became more and more immersed in cultivation.

He got up!

And returned home!

...

Meanwhile at the Zheng family, Zheng Ze was looking at the long list in his hands, delivered today by someone from the rebels.

His brows furrowed.

"What’s wrong, sir?" asked the white-haired old man beside him upon seeing this.

"See for yourself."

He handed the letter to him.

After reading, the old man gasped in surprise.

"Sir, the rebels aren’t asking for food supplies but rather rare materials, such as this Jadeite Stone, Chaos Stone, and Top-Grade Demon Beast Blood—all of these are extremely precious!"

"Indeed."

He knew very well the value of these items.

Supplies were no problem, the Zheng family didn’t lack silver, but these materials?

Each one was a treasure among treasures.

Although the Zheng family had some in their treasury, they were fundamental to the family—truthfully, he didn’t want to part with them.

But...

The rebels stated that as long as he could give half, the Third Grade cultivation technique would be provided immediately.

Zheng Ze’s heart was torn.

The white-haired elder didn’t dare speak, for only Zheng Ze, the patriarch, could make the decision, and it would be inappropriate for him to say anything.

If he said something regrettable, it could spell disaster for him later.

Having been in the Zheng family all his life, he didn’t want to face such an end.

"You may leave now," said Zheng Ze, waving him away.

"Yes, sir."

The old man slightly bowed and left the hall.

"This is putting one over on me!"

In the hall, Zheng Ze sighed heavily.

...

The next day.

Just as Chen Xuan stepped into the East District Divine Capture Bureau, Zhuge Potian arrived.

"Does sir mean that more rebel members have infiltrated Youlan Mansion again and we’re to commence a sweep?"

Chen Xuan inquired, puzzled why the sweeping operation continued despite the Youlan Association being in the past.

Besides, unless Youlan Mansion closed its gates, such issues were unavoidable!

"Yes, that’s the Mansion Master’s intention!" Zhuge Potian replied with a grave expression, lowering his voice, "Reportedly, the Mansion Master discovered that the rebels contacted major clans in the city. Although their motives are unclear, preventive measures must be taken in advance."

"And not only the Divine Capture Bureau, but even the Patrol Camp has ramped up its alertness."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"Alright, this matter is yours to handle. If anyone dares to obstruct, arrest them first and ask questions later."

"Yes, sir."

After sending Zhuge Potian away, Chen Xuan felt a growing sense of unease.

How long has it been now, yet it begins anew, relentless.

Truly, a disruption of peace.

"Chief, what’s the matter?" Qin Gang approached, seeing Chen Xuan’s displeasure and asked.

Once Chen Xuan explained, Qin Gang exclaimed, "How unfortunate!"

Despite his complaints, he knew Zhuge Potian’s personal visit meant a significant event, even if he grumbled, he couldn’t afford to slack.

Thus, he swore allegiance to Chen Xuan, promising to exert full efforts in capturing all rebel spies in Youlan Mansion.

Seeing Qin Gang, usually lazy, now exhibiting loyalty, Chen Xuan sighed inwardly that the Immortal Spirit Dates were well given.

...

With the sweeping operation underway and constant patrols across Youlan Mansion’s four districts,

the innkeepers, brothel owners, and tavern managers lamented the impact on their business.

They sought out their financiers, bringing renewed bustle to Divine Capture Bureau’s headquarters.

They criticized the Bureau, accusing it of disregard for their livelihoods, claiming that continued actions would lead to upheaval in Youlan Mansion and threatening to bring their grievances to the Mansion Master.

"Alright, go ahead then, this office is unconcerned."

Zhuge Potian surveyed them all with an indifferent attitude.

Among these people, there are those from aristocratic families, the military, and even other government offices of Youlan Mansion, considered the upper echelon of Youlan Mansion.

Normally, he might have some concerns.

But this time is different.

This time he is not afraid because it was personally instructed by Chief Steward Feng, and it was also the Mansion Master’s intention.

He even began to tease, "By the way, do you want me to send a carriage to take you to the City Lord’s Mansion?"

As soon as the words fell, these people’s faces immediately turned ugly.

Last time during the sweep, even Zhuge Potian was hiding from them, but this time it was so arrogant; they’re not foolish, they instantly knew that this matter wasn’t that simple.

Some clever ones immediately changed their attitude, supporting the Divine Capture Bureau’s actions, as it was also for Youlan Mansion’s security.

Their little loss is nothing.

This change truly surprised Zhuge Potian.

If not considering their face, he probably would laugh out loud on the spot.

But suppressing that grin was really uncomfortable.

After these people left the Divine Capture Bureau.

"Hahaha...."

Zhuge Potian finally laughed wantonly, truly, it had been a long time since he felt so joyous.

Despite the Divine Capture Bureau overseeing the security of the entire Youlan Mansion, it’s tough; the forces in Youlan Mansion are intricate and complex, who doesn’t have a bit of background?

"Hmph!"

At that moment, Zhuge Potian snorted coldly, even his demeanor turned unfriendly.

"Say another damn word, and I’ll have all of you arrested and charged as rebel spies, and have some fun!"

....

Zheng Family.

Looking at the prepared items, he was now very annoyed, never expected that after finally agreeing with the rebels over there, the Divine Capture Bureau began sweeping through the four districts.

Moreover, no matter what you carry, as long as the Divine Capture Bureau finds it suspicious, they can search you; if you dare to resist, you’ll be arrested immediately!

Let alone, passing through the city gates of Youlan Mansion still requires inspection.

Now how to get this box of items out?

Someone must have leaked the information.

Damn it...!

"Reporting to the Patriarch, Chief Constable Xia Yu of the South District Divine Capture Bureau wishes to see the Patriarch." At this time, a servant dressed in black knelt outside, bowing his head, and reported in a low voice.

"Xia Yu? What’s he here for?"

He is currently infuriated by these people from the Divine Capture Bureau, never expected Xia Yu himself came.

"Lead him to the side hall first, I’ll be there shortly."

Although Xia Yu is merely fifth-grade, not worth his notice, but after all, he is backed by the Divine Capture Bureau, so no matter what, he must still meet him.

This is the heartbreak of these great families in Youlan Mansion; seemingly strong on the surface, but in face of the various government agencies in Youlan Mansion, at least on the surface they dare not offend them.

...

In the side hall, Xia Yu sat on a chair, after a maid respectfully served a cup of tea, she stood quietly by the side, awaiting instructions.

"Hahaha.... An esteemed guest, not sure what brings Chief Constable Xia to the Zheng Family today."

Zheng Ze hadn’t arrived yet, but his voice reached first.

After he entered the side hall, Xia Yu also stood up, cupped his hands, "Of course, there’s something. Otherwise, you know, I’ve been very busy lately."

"Oh..." Zheng Ze muttered in curiosity and then instructed the maid standing there, "Leave, and no one is allowed to approach the side hall!"

"Yes, Master!"

After the maid saluted, she quickly left the side hall.

At this moment, the two sat down.

Only then did Zheng Ze speak, "Now that no one is here, whatever the matter is, Chief Constable Xia, feel free to speak."

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu slowly said two words, "Dark Night!"

Upon hearing these two words,

Zheng Ze’s expression froze as if shocked, waves of turbulence surged in his heart.

"Dark Night!"

Those two words were the last words left in the letter the rebels sent him last time.

"How could it be?"

"How did Xia Yu know?"

But as the Patriarch of the Zheng Family, he quickly regained his composure, simultaneously showing curiosity, "Dark Night? What does Chief Constable Xia mean by this?"

"Hehe..." Xia Yu chuckled, then said, "I am Dark Night!"

"What?"

Immediately, Zheng Ze could not remain seated, his pupils suddenly enlarged, looking in disbelief at Xia Yu, who was as steady as a rock.

He’s Dark Night?

All along, the person communicating with him was Xia Yu?

The rebels actually managed to buy off Xia Yu, the Chief Constable of the Divine Capture Bureau!

This...

Perhaps there is more than just one!

Terrifying.

Laughably, these days the Divine Capture Bureau has been conducting raids.

But for the sake of caution, Zheng Ze still didn’t admit it immediately, instead, he continued to ask, "You are Dark Night, what does this mean?"

"Truly an old fox!"

Xia Yu cursed secretly in his heart.

Everything is already out in the open, yet still so cautious.

Then he slightly moved his body, subtly emitting a Martial Dao fourth-grade aura, then asked, "Is this sufficient proof?"

"Fourth-grade!"

Zheng Ze’s expression changed, becoming one of desire.

Others might not know, but Xia Yu has been stuck at fifth-grade just because he didn’t have a cultivation technique beyond fifth-grade.

And as the Chief Constable of the Divine Capture Bureau, he never exchanged for a fourth-grade cultivation technique, waiting to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for a third-grade one.

So now that he is fourth-grade can only mean one thing, he received a third-grade cultivation technique.

The only pathway is that it was given by the rebels.
