By then, let alone letting Feng Ye into the sect, my own situation within the sect will become extremely difficult!

So Chen Yuanji asked again, "So, the explosion caused by the carriage falling into the river, according to you, was also caused by those traitors? But that doesn't make sense. They had already used the strong wind mixed with demonic energy to set up a smokescreen, pretending that a demonic beast stole the batch of Shining Star Silver. If that's the case, they could have just transported the Shining Star Silver directly from the river. Why would they have created that kind of explosion?"

"If they're trying to destroy the carriages and horses to destroy the clues, that's making too much of a fuss."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "That's exactly what puzzles me, but I certainly can't figure it out just by sitting here and thinking about it. Young Master Chen, why don't you take me away and we go to the scene to take a look? Maybe there will be some clues there?"

"What if you run away?" Chen Yuanji asked.

"My sister is here, how could I possibly run away alone? Besides, losing 40,000 catties of Shining Star Silver is no small matter, but I don't think we deserve to die, do we?" Ye Feng said with a smile.

“Your crime certainly doesn’t warrant death. Alright, I’ll take you out now. But I can’t remove the restraints on your hands,” Chen Yuanji said.

The night breeze smiled and nodded.

Chen Yuanji summoned the Tianyang Sect disciple guarding the dungeon to open the cell door, allowing Ye Feng to leave the cell and follow Chen Yuanji out of the dungeon.

Upon exiting the dungeon, Ye Feng immediately saw a magnificent palace all around him, with Tianyang Sect disciples flying overhead.

This is already the Tianyang Sect.

That makes sense, the dungeon must be located inside the Tianyang Sect's mountain gate. From the moment Ye Feng and Gu Lingxuan were captured and taken to the dungeon, they had already entered the Tianyang Sect.

"I'll take you away, don't resist."

After saying that, Chen Yuanji grabbed Ye Feng's shoulder and flew away with him.

Chen Yuanji's speed of flight is extremely fast, and the speed of flight is related to both the cultivation technique he practices and his strength level.

In an instant, Ye Feng judged Chen Yuanji's approximate cultivation level from the speed at which he fled.

A journey through the realm of the spirits!

It's either the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm or the middle stage of the Divine Travel Realm.

"Brother Chen, your skill is truly impressive," Ye Feng praised.

Chen Yuanji could tell that Ye Feng was flattering him, but he was still very pleased.

After all, who doesn't like to hear nice things?

Moreover, Ye Feng's flattery showed Chen Yuanji that this person was very good at interpersonal relationships. Since that was the case, it wouldn't be a problem to win him over to his side in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanji became even more friendly towards Ye Feng.

He no longer addressed him by his given name, but instead called him Brother Feng.

"Brother Feng, this is the location where your incident occurred."

Chen Yuanji landed on the ground with the night wind, released his grip and said, "Actually, I have already checked this place, but I haven't found any clues."

Ye Feng didn't say much. He carefully looked around and examined every part of the place.

"Have you looked in the river?" Ye Feng asked.

"I saw it."

Chen Yuanji replied.

Night Wind walked toward the river, but then he suddenly stopped.

Then Ye Feng lifted his right foot and looked down at the ground, where he saw a piece of silvery-white metal in the grass.

This piece of silvery-white metal is very small, about the size of a peanut, and its surface is silvery-white, just like the sparkling silver.

Seeing Ye Feng observing the small patch of Shining Star Silver on the ground, Chen Yuanji said, "Because of the explosion in the river, some fragments of Shining Star Silver flew out of the river and landed on the surrounding ground. But there is so little of this Shining Star Silver that I did not send anyone to collect it."

There are indeed too few of these sparkling silver fragments on the ground. Even if we collect them, they probably wouldn't be enough to forge a single magical artifact, so there's really no need to collect them.

But Ye Feng crouched down and picked up the small piece of shimmering silver.

Although Chen Yuanji found Ye Feng's actions strange, he did not stop him.

Ye Feng examined the small piece of shimmering silver for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

“Brother Chen, forgive my bluntness, but you have missed a crucial clue,” Ye Feng said.

"What did you find on this piece of sparkling silver?" Chen Yuanji asked quickly.

Ye Feng looked at the piece of Shining Silver in his hand with a half-smile and said, "This is not Shining Silver at all, but Fiery Silver."

"Fierce Silver?"

Chen Yuanji was taken aback, but at the same time, he also showed a hint of understanding.

Fiery Silver is a metal that is very similar to Star Silver, but this similarity is limited to appearance and texture.

In fact, the properties and values ​​of Qi Silver and Shining Star Silver are completely different.

Shining Star Silver is a refining material used to make low- to mid-grade spiritual weapons. Ten low-grade spirit stones can buy one pound of it.

However, Fiery Silver cannot be used to refine spiritual weapons. At the same time, Fiery Silver is very common in the Yin-Yang Great World and has a very low value. One low-grade spirit stone can buy about ten catties of Fiery Silver.

At the same time, the fiery silver will generate a large amount of steam and explode when it comes into contact with water.

This is the origin of the name "Fierce Silver"!

"It seems that someone secretly replaced all 40,000 catties of Shining Star Silver with lower-value Fiery Silver, and in order to avoid being discovered, they even used a demonic wind here to blow the carriage into the river."

"When the silver gas that fell into the river came into contact with the river water, most of the silver gas exploded and was destroyed. Only a very small amount of silver gas was carried to the riverbank by the shock wave of the explosion."

"Brother Chen, now that the investigation has reached this point, you should be able to guess who secretly replaced Boss Gu's 40,000 catties of Shining Star Silver, right?"

Night Breeze stopped there.

He has already made himself so clear. If Chen Yuanji still can't guess the truth, then he is really too stupid!

“They are outer disciples from the first five checkpoints!” Chen Yuanji said, clenching his fist.

"Yes, it's them."

Ye Feng smiled and continued, "Boss Gu's convoy passed through five checkpoints, each requiring a stop and inspection, and each visit took half an hour. If someone secretly switched Boss Gu's Shining Star Silver, then the outer disciples at the first five checkpoints are the most suspicious, as only they would have had the opportunity to do so!"

Without further hesitation, Chen Yuanji immediately flew towards the fifth checkpoint with Ye Feng.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at their destination together.

As soon as he landed, Chen Yuanji roared, "Zhu Guangdong, get out here!"

An outer disciple immediately came out from the small building next to the checkpoint.

This person is Zhu Guangdong, the person in charge of the martial arts checkpoint.

"Senior Brother Chen, what brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhu Guangdong asked with a smile.

Chen Yuanji said coldly, "Zhu Guangdong, give me your storage ring. I need to check it now!"
