"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Guangdong's face turned cold.

Chen Yuanji said without any politeness, "The Nanyue City Deer Merchant Guild sent 40,000 catties of Shining Star Silver, but an accident occurred just before they passed the sixth checkpoint. I now suspect that you have embezzled the Shining Star Silver, so please accept my inspection!"

"This is outrageous! Senior Brother Chen, you're slandering me!" Zhu Guangdong shouted angrily.

"Whether it's slander or not, an investigation will tell. Junior Brother Zhu, your repeated evasions suggest you have a guilty conscience," Chen Yuanji said coldly.

Zhu Guangdong sneered, "Chen Yuanji, don't think that just because you're Elder Li's eldest disciple you can do whatever you want!"

"It seems you're unwilling to cooperate with the examination. In that case, don't blame me!"

Chen Yuanji raised his left hand, and a white flying sword with black patterns on it appeared in his palm.

Chen Yuanji took out the flying sword and bowed.

"Master, please make a move!"

As soon as Chen Yuanji finished speaking, a cold snort came from the flying sword.

The next moment, the flying sword flew over like lightning, heading straight for Zhu Guangdong!

Zhu Guangdong turned pale with fright and hurriedly activated his protective spiritual artifact, but the shield formed by the artifact was as flimsy as paper and was directly pierced by the flying sword, along with his chest!

As the flying sword pierced through his body, Zhu Guangdong collapsed to the ground with a thud, becoming a corpse.

Chen Yuanji strode over, took the storage ring off Zhu Guangdong's wrist, dripped blood to bind it to him, and then poured out all the contents inside.

Splash!

The silvery-white sparkling stars piled up into a small mountain!

But this is definitely not enough forty thousand jin; it should only be seven or eight thousand jin!

“Zhu Guangdong is just one of them. There must have been others who embezzled Boss Gu’s Shining Star Silver at the previous four checkpoints as well,” Ye Feng said.

Even without Ye Feng's reminder, Chen Yuanji had already thought of this.

So Chen Yuanji flew towards the fourth checkpoint with Ye Feng.

The person in charge of the fourth checkpoint was also killed by Chen Yuanji. After inspection, it was found that this guy had indeed embezzled seven or eight thousand catties of Shining Star Silver!

And so, it's the third hurdle!

The person in charge of the third checkpoint did the same; Chen Yuanji found about 10,000 jin of Shining Star Silver in his storage ring.

However, the person in charge of the second checkpoint seemed to have received the news and fled before Chen Yuanji arrived.

“I will go to my master and ask him to issue an arrest warrant.”

"The truth of this matter has been revealed with this investigation. Brother Feng, you have made a great contribution!"

Chen Yuanji looked at Ye Feng with a ruddy complexion and a broad smile.

The master set a three-day time limit.

As a result, only two or three hours have passed, and he has already investigated and found out the truth, and even recovered more than half of the Shining Star Silver.

Master will definitely be very satisfied!

Chen Yuanji thought to himself, his smile growing even brighter.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "This is all thanks to you, Brother Chen. It has little to do with me. I just gave you a few small suggestions."

"Brother Feng, you're too modest. Don't worry, I'm not that greedy. You definitely deserve half the credit." Chen Yuanji laughed.

But then Chen Yuanji changed the subject and said, "However, I still have to send you back to the dungeon first, Brother Feng. Please understand my predicament."

"That's natural." Night Breeze nodded slightly.

Before long, Night Wind returned to the dungeon.

Seeing Ye Feng's smiling face, Gu Lingxuan was overjoyed. She knew that Ye Feng and Chen Yuanji must have found out the results.

But before she could ask anything, Gu Weiyun hurriedly inquired, "Young Master Feng, how's the investigation going? Our Shining Star Silver..."

Ye Feng waved his hand to interrupt Gu Weiyun, and then said, "Chen Yuanji and I have investigated and found out that there is indeed a traitor in the Tianyang Sect. The outer disciples at the martial arts checkpoint took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the convoy and switched the 40,000 catties of Shining Star Silver you were transporting with Fierce Qi Silver in batches."

"In order to destroy the clues, they also moved all our carriages into the river before the sixth checkpoint, so the Fiery Silver exploded when it came into contact with water."

"But 40,000 jin of Fiery Silver was far too much. It didn't all explode; some fragments landed on the grass on the riverbank. Chen Yuanji and I went there to investigate and finally discovered the clues. Most of the Shining Star Silver has now been recovered, but two outer sect disciples who embezzled the Shining Star Silver have fled. I estimate that the Tianyang Sect has already issued an arrest warrant."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Gu Weiyun let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the ground like a lump of mud.

"That's great, that's great, now we're safe." Gu Weiyun said with a long sigh.

Gu Lingxuan couldn't stop smiling and gave Ye Feng a grateful look.

Moreover, Gu Lingxuan knew that the truth was definitely thanks to Ye Feng.

If Chen Yuanji had the ability to find out the truth, he would have already done so long ago, and he wouldn't have needed Ye Feng's help at all.

"Young Master Feng, thank you so much! You've saved us again!" Gu Lingxuan said with emotion.

"Helping you is also helping myself, so you don't need to thank me," Ye Feng said calmly.

“But it’s also a fact that you saved us,” Gu Lingxuan insisted.

Luo Qingling chuckled softly: "Words of thanks are meaningless. Why don't you repay me with your body?"

Gu Lingxuan's pretty face immediately flushed slightly.

Several hours passed quickly, and dawn finally broke.

As footsteps approached, two figures arrived outside the dungeon.

It was Li Hengfeng, the Grand Elder of the Tianyang Sect, and his eldest disciple, Chen Yuanji.

“Master, he is Feng Ye, the seventh-grade alchemist I mentioned to you. He is the one who helped me solve this case. Without him, I would have had to go through a lot more trouble to get the Shining Star Silver back.” Chen Yuanji smiled and pointed at Ye Feng.

Li Hengfeng then looked at Ye Feng with great interest.

"A seventh-grade alchemist?" Li Hengfeng asked.

“That’s right,” Night Wind replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then now refine me a seventh-grade elixir—the Azure Sky Soul-Shattering Pill," Li Hengfeng said again.

"I have no medicinal herbs," Ye Feng said.

"It's okay, I have it."

After saying that, Li Hengfeng threw more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs directly into the dungeon.

These medicinal herbs are rare and precious, priceless treasures, yet Li Hengfeng treated them like trash, showing that he didn't care about them at all.

Chen Yuanji whispered, "Brother Feng, my master is giving you a chance to show yourself, so you must work hard."

"I know."

Night Breeze smiled and nodded.

Chen Yuanji opened the cell door, walked in, and removed the restraint rings from Ye Feng's hands.
