Chapter 243: The clue is broken
The clue is broken, "President Yang, rest assured, this matter will definitely give you an explanation." Wu Xuan Shenhou replied with great certainty.
"Uncle Junior, let's go back. Zong Yue reminded in a low voice.
"Well, Lord Wu Xuan, the junior has suffered some injuries and wants to go back to heal, so he will leave. Yang Tong listened to it and agreed in his heart, so he took the opportunity to bid farewell to Wu Xuan Shenhou.
"President Yang will go back to recuperate from his injuries, come and mobilize three thousand imperial guards to send President Yang back. Wu Xuan Shenhou nodded and said, just in case and to show sincerity, three thousand imperial guards were transferred, although these three thousand guards are definitely not as good as Zong Yue's protection, but they can also express their meaning, in case of accidents, they can also do their best.
Yang Tong, including the three vice presidents, and a group of people from the Mercenary Guild left the palace and returned to the territory of the Mercenary Guild in a mighty manner, at this time, the defensive formation of the Mercenary Guild was also half-open, and any non-guild members could not think of entering.
As soon as Yang Tong left, Wu Xuan Shenhou was furious: "What are you still doing here, check for me, investigate fiercely, and you must not let go of anyone who is suspicious!"
In the entire Wuxuan Empire, the capital of the country was under martial law, the teleportation array was closed, and the army was stationed and began to investigate. At the same time, the nine clans of the Ministry of Servants, tens of thousands of people, from top to bottom, from old to young, have been arrested, and those who have slipped through the net have also been issued a sea fishing official document, in the territory of the Wuxuan Empire, all the teleportation arrays in and out can only enter and not exit, and it is okay to come out, find the relevant departments to prove it.
The Mercenary Guild also dispatched personnel to assist in the investigation, and the progress of the court's investigation will be reflected to the Mercenary Guild at all times, and then reported to Yang Tong to know.
Yang Tong was assassinated, this matter was too sudden, Yang Tong was also quite surprised, he didn't seem to have offended anyone or force in the Wuxuan Empire, right?
At the beginning, the investigation proceeded quite smoothly, following the clues of the Sima family, all the people or forces related to Sima Lan or the Sima family over the years were within the scope of the investigation.
This matter was sent by Wu Xuan Shenhou to the secret guard of the Shenji Battalion to deal with this matter on his behalf, even if it was as strong as the five major families, it had to be investigated.
The Mercenary Guild is usually inconspicuous, but when the time comes, it is quite strong, and no one or force can escape. Maybe the secret guards of the Shenji Battalion still have to take care of the face and feelings of the five major families, but the people of the Mercenary Guild have no such concerns, as long as they do not cooperate, they will immediately be charged with a crime, punished first, and then questioned, under the leadership of the guild masters who are proficient in [***], psychics, illusions or other secret arts, no one who is suspected can escape.
"Uncle Junior, do you really think that this investigation will be effective?" Zong Yue asked puzzled.
Yang Tong was sitting at the dining table at the moment, enjoying the food and wine, and said, "What do you think of this time?"
"If you don't have any deep grudges against him, there's only one explanation, this guy is controlled by human souls. Only soul servants and the dead would be so mad. Zong Yue said lightly, how could a young master of a family be trained to be a dead soldier?
"This person can enslave a monk of the Sacred Domain, and his attainment in the Soul Secret Art must be not shallow, and his cultivation is extraordinary, and the most suspicious are only those ugly rats lurking in the shadows. ”
Yang Tong listened, nodded and responded: "That's why I have to check with great fanfare, it's much better to check the grass and startle the snake than a pool of stagnant water." By the way, you can also take a look at whether the major families in the national capital are related to foreign races. ”
After more than a dozen days, the investigation gradually ended, but the result was unsatisfactory.
Yang Tong sat in his office, looking at the investigation report for half a month, and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Lin Yueyin walked in with a large pile of documents and said, "Young Master, this is the document I want you to sign today." ”
Lin Yueyin and Guan Yuqing were used by Yang Tong to enter the Mercenary Guild these days and became the official civilian staff of the Mercenary Guild, one became Yang Tong's civilian secretary, and the other became a life secretary. In short, in fact, it is a name in the mercenary guild, and everything else has not changed.
Let Yang Tong enjoy the fun of being the boss, but this time is indeed very busy, because of the investigation of the assassination incident, the focus of several vice presidents has shifted to this incident, so the normal work of the guild is pressed on Yang Tong alone.
However, Yang Tong has never been able to adapt to today's mastery, and dealing with all kinds of official affairs has also opened Yang Tong's knowledge, and at the same time, Yang Tong has a certain understanding and self-perception of overall coordination.
"Okay, put it on the table. Yang Tong didn't look up, but was looking at some of the reports and intelligence summaries of the branch below.
Lin Yueyin put the document on Yang Tong's desk, and after sorting it out, she stood aside and was silent.
Yang Tong didn't notice this.
It wasn't until Yang Tong had processed all the documents that he stretched his waist and stood up, "Let's go, go home, it's not too early now." ”
When he returned home, Zong Yue walked over and said, "Uncle Xiao, why do you have to get the guild's office if you want to work?
"Okay, let's not discuss this topic today, the investigation should be over, right?" Yang Tong instructed Zong Yue to pay attention to the results of the investigation.
"The clues are all broken, although some clues have been found, but the other party's movements are extremely fast, several clues have been cut off, and the target person has also been killed, it is basically certain that it is all soul control slaves, and it is definitely done by a foreign race. Zong Yue reported with a gloomy face.
Yang Tong smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's them." Then he asked, "Are there any forces that are colluding with them?"
"I didn't find it. Zong Yue shook his head and said.
"Well, that's a little better, so it seems that these rats are really not hiding as deep as usual. Okay, just let them hide, I have time anyway. Yang Tong smiled and said.
Anyway, the task completion time is two hundred years, and the reward is three hundred years of cultivation time, which is dispensable for Yang Tong.
Because Yang Tong's Miluo Void Pagoda contained as many as seven spaces of the special vitality of the God Realm God Continent, which was enough for Yang Tong and the three of them to cultivate for hundreds of years.
Zong Yue glanced at Yang Tong in confusion, like the highnesses who had been sent out to train in the past, they were all extremely eager to complete the tasks sent down from above as soon as possible, so as to give a very good impression to the above and strive for more points, but now looking at Yang Tong's appearance, he looked unhurried, which was extremely rare.
However, Zong Yue didn't say anything, turned around and retreated.
At this moment, Lin Yueyin and Guan Yuqing walked into Yang Tong's room with dinner and passed by Zong Yue.
"Young master, looking at Mr. Zong's appearance, it seems that there is something ......" Lin Yueyin couldn't say anything.
"What do I know, he's worrying about me, it's just a matter of concept, it's hard to explain anything. Yang Tong shook his head and said.
The three of them sat down to eat together, chatting while eating, but Yang Tong found that Guan Yuqing's face was strange.
"Qing'er, what's wrong, is there something on your mind?" Yang Tong asked thoughtfully.
"Uh......" Guan Yuqing was stunned for a moment and didn't answer immediately.
"If you have anything on your mind, just tell me, we are a family, don't hold everything in your heart. Yang Tong said softly.
"Yes, Sister Qing, we are a family, what can't we say?" Lin Yueyin said.
"Hey, something happened at home, and several ancestors of the Guan family ran out of longevity and sat down. And in the past few hundred years of the Guan family, no new Void level master has been born, the survival of the family is imminent, and the concubine is ......" Guan Yuqing said this and did not say any more.
"Okay, it's just a trivial matter, I'll accompany you home tomorrow to save your family. Yang Tong said decisively.
"This, how can this be, Brother Tong said that there are all kinds of opportunities, how can he abolish the public because of private affairs. Besides......" Guan Yuqing hurriedly vetoed, Yang Tong's identity is special, what should I do if I go out like this and encounter danger?
"Alright, that's it, I'll accompany you home tomorrow. Yang Tong interrupted forcefully.
"Young master, is it too dangerous for you to go out like this?" Lin Yueyin didn't mean to stop Yang Tong, but was worried about Yang Tong's safety, after all, Yang Tong was assassinated not long after he first came to Wucheng, and Lin Yueyin still had palpitations at that scene.
"It's okay, it's a big deal that we just do it quietly and don't alarm others. Yang Tong smiled.
After eating, Yang Tong came to the study, called Zong Yue, and told him about what he was going to do.
"No, Uncle Junior, this is too dangerous, I don't agree. Zong Yue retorted.
"Okay, I have a space spirit treasure, which has its own world, I will use this treasure to include you in it, and then change your appearance and modify it on the road, declaring to the outside world, I can't go out of retreat, if this can still be found, then it is really a big fish." Yang Tong replied.
"But ......"
"Since I do this, I naturally have my thoughts, I am sure, if I really encounter a strong enemy, I can also run away calmly, in the territory of human beings, I don't believe that foreign races dare to use god-level power, ordinary true gods can't stop me at all. Yang Tong said confidently.
"In that case, do as you wish. Seeing this, Zong Yue couldn't refute it anymore, he was originally a bodyguard, and he was not qualified to stop any of Yang Tong's behavior.
The next day, Yang Tong announced to the public that he was in retreat and cultivation, and the official affairs of the Mercenary Guild were pushed to the three vice presidents, and the location of Yang Tong's retreat was in his villa.
Twenty demigod bodyguards, Yang Tong only brought half of them, leaving half in the villa, showing his face from time to time, so as to prove that Yang Tong has been staying in the villa for retreat, I believe that no matter how rampant the alien race is, they will not dare to storm the capital of the human empire, and then rush into the territory of the mercenary guild to kill Yang Tong, right?
Dragon Yuan City, located within the scope of the Six Factions Alliance, is an ordinary second-level city.
Just two thousand miles away from Longyuan City, a peaceful space suddenly shattered, and a fifteen-story pagoda no more than a foot tall flashed out of the space.
The pagoda appeared with one breath, and the next one disappeared again.
The shattered space was repaired by the Origin of the Universe in a short time, and everything returned to calm, except for some brute beasts that were hunting for food.
In the central control room of the pagoda, Yang Tong sat on a chair, Lin Yueyin and Guan Yuqing sat on his laps on both sides, lying in his arms, and the surrounding area of the central control room presented an all-round visual exterior scene.
"Brother Tong, we're almost in Longyuan City. Guan Yuqing suppressed her excitement and said.
Yang Tong took out a piece of information and said while looking at it: "Longyuan City, a second-level city, except for the City Lord's Mansion, is the two strongest forces, and these two forces happen to be the Guan family and Tianwumen. A few years ago, the three ancestors of the Guan family fought a big battle with the master of Tianwumen, and they all died together. The two major forces have lost the support of their top combat power at the same time, and they are now in a worrying situation. ”
This information is the intelligence information of the Mercenary Guild, and the Mercenary Guild will not pay attention to the specific situation.
"Brother Tong, the family that has lost the top powerhouse generally has only two endings, one is to withdraw from the second-level city and avoid the third-level city in order to keep the family inheritance, and the other is to be swallowed up and eliminated by other families. ”
The Guan family, as a strong family that has been based in Longyuan City for tens of thousands of years, is in a state of turmoil at the moment, and within the family, whether it is direct or collateral, is in a state of depression.
At this moment, in the Guan family's mansion, there was a group of uninvited guests roaring arrogantly, led by a young man in black.
"What, do you still have to think about it? You must know that taking refuge in my Fei family is the most correct choice for your Guan family. Tianwumen has taken refuge in Fengyue Sect with thousands of years of accumulation in the door, and the condition is to destroy your Guan family, if it weren't for my Fei family to help you with, I'm afraid your Guan family would have been wiped out a long time ago. Fei Xiang said loudly.
"Fei Sanshao, please allow me to think about it for a while, such a big matter, even if I am the head of the family, I can't make a decision easily. The head of the Guan family said with a low face, carefully accompanied by a smile.
"Hmph, okay, for Yuxiu's sake, I'll give you another five days to think about it, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. Fei Xiang turned around and left, and the three old men behind him also left the meeting hall.
The few people who stayed were all in power of the Guan family, and their faces were very bad.
The Great Elder of the Guan Family slapped the table fiercely, and snorted coldly: "What a Fei family, he actually bullied us, this is obviously to forcibly annex my Guan family." ”
"The head of the family, such a major event, must not be agreed, my Guan family has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and the dignity and glory of my Guan family cannot be bullied by others. The three elders of the Guan family said angrily.
"Third child, it's not that we want to agree, but the situation is forcing us, now our Guan family is like a fragrant cake, everyone wants to swallow us all, Fengyue Sect and the Fei family are just the two most powerful forces among them, I heard that the ancestor of the Fei family is about to enter the holy realm level, we can't resist at all. The second elder of the Guan family said rationally.
"Even if we want to quit Longyuan City now, we can't avoid others. The Fengyue Sect wants to swallow my Guan clan and enhance its heritage. And the Fei family has the Heavenly Sword Sect as a backer behind them, and the ancestor of the Fei family is also a quasi-saint-level powerhouse, and they also want to swallow us and enhance their heritage. Therefore, if we want to survive, we can only choose one of the two, and if we want to get out of the way, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" sighed the head of the Guan family.
Yang Tong took Guan Yuqing and Lin Yueyin into Longyuan City, clean streets, pedestrians, and vehicles, and the whole city seemed to be extremely prosperous.
"Longyuan City, I can't imagine that I can come back again. Guan Yuqing sighed excitedly.
Yang Tong swaggered through the market with two stunning beauties, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Sister Qing, take us to your house. Lin Yueyin reminded.
"Oh, okay, come with me. Guan Yuqing also understands that now is not the time to sigh.
Half an hour later, Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin, under the leadership of Guan Yuqing, came to the front of a quaint mansion, and they could feel a strong historical flavor just by looking at the door of the mansion.
Guan Yuqing stepped forward and knocked on the door, feeling a kind of excitement and excitement in her heart for the wanderer to return home.
The door opened, and a manservant walked out and said, "Who is this girl looking for?"
Guan Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she had been away from home for hundreds of years, and the servants at home didn't know how many batches she had changed, no wonder some people didn't recognize her.
Guan Yuqing took out a sign and said, "I am a child of the Guan family and I haven't been home for many years." The current butler is still the Eagle Uncle?"
"Yes, please wait a moment, and the little one will go and call the housekeeper. "For a slave guarding the door, he doesn't dare to let in a random person he doesn't know, even if this person has the identity token of the Guan family in his hand.
Yang Tong saw that the slaves guarding the door all had the cultivation of the ninth level, thinking that back then, the ninth level of the trainee was already quite a powerful warrior, and it can be seen from this that these big families with a long heritage are indeed profound.
The update has arrived, and full attendance is guaranteed this month
