As Yechao gradually recovered, Xiao Yichen, Shen Yifeng, and Chu Yunlan thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but new troubles followed one after another.
A mysterious organization has quietly risen in the martial arts world. They have recruited martial arts masters from all walks of life, and their whereabouts are shrouded in mystery, with no clear purpose.
This organization began to create chaos among the people, robbing wealthy merchants, attacking government offices, and causing widespread panic.
After receiving the secret report, Chu Yunlan decided to send Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng to investigate this mysterious organization in secret.
The two disguised themselves and infiltrated the martial arts world.
During their investigation, they discovered that this mysterious organization appeared to be supported by forces within the imperial court.
Following the clues, Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng discovered that the person supporting this organization was actually a prince who had lost power in the court.
This prince harbored resentment towards Chu Yunlan and attempted to use the power of this mysterious organization to overthrow Chu Yunlan's rule and ascend the throne himself.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng knew that this matter was of great importance. On the one hand, they collected evidence, and on the other hand, they tried to divide the forces within the mysterious organization.
However, their actions aroused the suspicion of a mysterious organization.
The organization sent experts to hunt them down, putting Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng in an extremely dangerous situation.
During one of their escapes, they inadvertently fell into an enemy trap and were imprisoned in a secret dungeon.
But the two did not give up. They searched for a chance to escape in the dungeon while continuing to think about how to break the deadlock...
After being trapped in the dungeon, Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng did not sit idly by and wait for their deaths.
Using the dim light in the dungeon, they carefully observed their surroundings, trying to find any possible flaws.
Shen Yifeng discovered a loose brick in a corner of the dungeon. He carefully pried it out, hoping to find a passage to the outside world.
Unfortunately, behind the brick wall was still solid earth.
With his keen insight, Xiao Yichen noticed a ventilation opening at the top of the dungeon. Although narrow, it might be their only hope of escape.
After discussing it, the two decided to use their clothes to make a rope and try to climb up to the ventilation shaft.
After several attempts, they finally managed to get close to the ventilation opening.
However, just as they were about to escape, the leader of the mysterious organization arrived with his men.
The leader sneered and said, "You think you can escape like this? How naive!"
Xiao Yichen remained unfazed and replied, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Your conspiracy will not succeed!" The two sides reached a stalemate.
Just at this critical moment, shouts of battle suddenly came from outside.
It turned out that Chu Yunlan had led a team of elite soldiers to the rescue.
The members of the mysterious organization were thrown into chaos. Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng seized the opportunity to break free of their restraints and, together with Chu Yunlan, defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.
The mysterious organization suffered a severe blow after this battle.
But the prince who was plotting to usurp the throne was still not giving up, and he devised a series of even more insidious conspiracies.
The prince bribed some eunuchs and palace maids to poison Chu Yunlan's food.
Fortunately, Chu Yunlan noticed in time and was not too severely poisoned.
Xiao Yichen and Shen Yifeng knew they had to bring the prince to justice as soon as possible, otherwise the Ye Dynasty would never have peace.
After a thorough investigation, they finally obtained conclusive evidence that the prince was plotting a rebellion.
Chu Yunlan ordered the prince to be arrested and brought to justice, and the prince's henchmen were also captured one after another.
Nightfall returned to peace, and the reputations of Xiao Yichen, Shen Yifeng, and Chu Yunlan spread among the people.
The people praised their bravery and wisdom, and the Night Dynasty ushered in a period of prosperity.
However, peaceful days are always short-lived.
Soon after, barbarian tribes from the north began to frequently harass the border, and the Night Dynasty faced new challenges...
