The anti-bandit action began with thunder and only lasted for an hour before the bandit stronghold was breached.

The leader, covered in blood, knelt on the ground, looking at a group of extraordinary soldiers. They wore bright armor and carried sharp weapons, but there were no signs of any government or military forces.

The team was not large, with only over four hundred people, but the leader was shocked to find that none of them were weak. The lowest was in the refining stage.

There were over fifty in the Qi refining stage, over ten in the God refining stage, and four in the Bronze and Iron Skin stage.

The female warrior leading them had an unfathomable cultivation level.

This team was not only enough to deal with a small stronghold, but also to attack the White Emperor City, the largest city in Yunzhou.

Without any flags, with extraordinary combat power, and led by a woman... The leader felt a sinking feeling in his heart, remembering a rumor from Yunzhou.

"You, are you... Feiyan Lady?"

"What Feiyan Lady? That sounds terrible."

The female warrior with a silver spear frowned. She was extremely beautiful with delicate features, a rosy mouth, and a high nose that highlighted her facial features. However, her sharpness made people overlook her beauty.

The illusory charm stood obediently by her side. She was originally a beautiful ghost, but her temperament was completely overshadowed by the female warrior's.

"Master, did I do well?" The charm said in a soft voice.

"The message was timely." The female warrior nodded and praised.

"Can you give me a man?" The charm said coquettishly. "I've been hungry for so many days."

Emperor Yuan Jing sends you, go and suck his essence... The female warrior thought to herself, nodding slightly. "Pick a few bandits yourself."

The leader was certain that this female warrior was the legendary Feiyan Lady.

A few years ago, a brave and righteous female warrior suddenly appeared in the arena. Wherever she went, justice was upheld and righteousness was maintained.

In just a few years, she became a well-known hero in the arena and was known as the Feiyan Lady because of her love for justice.

Earlier this year, the Feiyan Lady came to Yunzhou and saw that bandits were rampant and the people were suffering. She immediately recruited soldiers and established a private army, beginning an endless campaign against bandits.

She received strong support from the Yunzhou Governor.

"I ask, you answer, it will make your death more enjoyable." The female warrior pointed her silver spear at the leader, her voice cold. "Otherwise, I will turn you into a fierce ghost and you will never be reincarnated."

The leader was in a dilemma and tried to bargain. "No way!"

Puff... The silver spear pierced through the leader's skull, and red and white matter splattered backwards.

The female warrior put away her spear and muttered, "Talk or not, it's up to you.""!!!" Zhou Chixiong was so scared that his legs went weak. He thought, "You can't do this. Can't you see he's bargaining? At least give him a chance."

How reckless!

The warriors beside him seemed to be used to the Valkyrie's style of doing things and laughed as they watched the show.

At this moment, Zhou Chixiong felt the Valkyrie sweep him without emotion. He immediately fell to the ground and said, "Spare me, lady. I'll say anything. I'll say anything."

"I won't kill you." The Valkyrie stood proudly, her close-fitting armor highlighting her graceful curves, her beauty revealing a chilling and murderous aura.

"I'm going to take you to see someone."

...

Xu Qian had just finished his breathing exercises and was unable to sleep due to his gloomy mood. He heard the sound of water dripping in his ears and felt a familiar sense of palpitations.

He was moved and sat up, anxiously reaching under his pillow for the jade stone mirror. He saw what he wanted to see:

"[Second: Zhou Chixiong has been caught. I'll send someone to take you to the capital tomorrow.]"

Zhou Chixiong was caught? This efficiency is too scary... The second is simply my moonlight, I love him... Xu Qian's mood could not be described as ecstatic, he almost cried with joy.

Becoming Wei Yuan's undercover agent was the worst choice. Xu Qian didn't really want to go down that path. He was only in the Qi Refining Realm and felt that he lacked confidence. Staying in the capital, staying in the Nightwatcher's yamen, whether it was resources or living environment, was much better than wandering around the world.

Who would want to be in turmoil if they could live peacefully and happily?

This world already made him lack a sense of belonging. If he left Uncle Er, Auntie, and Second Sister, it would be too lonely.

"[Third: Can you arrive in the capital within six days?]"

Yunzhou is very far from the capital, although the imperial post road is well-developed, six days is still too rushed.

"[Second: If you ride on the Fire Feather Beast, you will arrive just in time in six days. But you have to pay me three hundred taels of silver. I can't let my brothers run for nothing, and you have to pay for the expenses on the way.]"

"[Third: That's fair.]"

After speaking, Xu Qian pondered for a moment. Zhou Chixiong certainly couldn't be sent directly to the capital. The capital was too deep, and once Zhou Chixiong entered, he would definitely be discovered by someone with malicious intent. After all, he was now on the top of the wanted list by the court, listed as a first-class fugitive.

There were two choices: either notify Wei Yuan in advance or find another way to get Zhou Chixiong into the capital... After thinking it over, Xu Qian chose the latter.

Because he had better ideas.

"[Third: Second, please take Zhou Chixiong to the Yunlu Academy. Someone will take over from there.]"

Zhou Chixiong was involved with the bigwigs of the court, and they had to guard against them jumping the wall in a hurry. The Nightwatcher's yamen was full of warriors, but they were not fancy enough.The great scholars of Yunlu Academy had the ability to teleport, making them the best candidates for escorting prisoners. All that needed to be said was: "Within three feet of me is the capital city."

And so, Xu Qi'an arrived in the capital city.

The palace was mostly off-limits, otherwise the great scholars could easily take the head of Emperor Yuan Jing.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Yunlu Academy to visit my three teachers," Xu Qi'an silently decided.

The members of the Sky-Screening Sect, including the second-in-command, did not find the request for the third-in-command strange at all. After all, the third-in-command was a student of Yunlu Academy.

As time passed, Xu Qi'an traveled around and met with Princess Huai Qing and Princess Biao Biao, hoping that they could plead for him.

Biao Biao, who only knew how to play tricks with her sister all day, didn't have much scheming. She immediately agreed to help. Princess Huai Qing, on the other hand, was more rational and objective. She said, "Father seems to dislike you. I can help you avoid the death penalty, but the punishment will still be severe."

Xu Qi'an noticed a detail: Princess Huai Qing showed an unreasonable indifference towards the Sangpo case and his impending fate, seeming to not care at all.

On the day before the deadline, Wei Yuan sent someone to summon Xu Qi'an. He met with the chief of the night watchmen at the Haoqi Tower.

"I just received news from the palace that His Majesty will hold court tomorrow and inevitably mention the Sangpo case. I will try to keep you in the yamen instead of sending you to the prefectural yamen and the Ministry of Justice," Wei Yuan said.

Xu Qi'an was about to say something to comfort the little copper gong he valued, but he heard the other party calmly say, "Wei Gong, I have caught Zhou Chixiong."

Wei Yuan's expression froze, and he looked at him without saying a word.

At the hour of the tiger, Xu Qi'an drove his carriage into the imperial city and stopped outside the palace. Accompanying him were Song Qing and Chu Caiwei from the Bureau of Astronomy, Zhang Shen from Yunlu Academy, Jiang Lvzhong and Yang Yan from the night watchmen.

Inside the carriage was Zhou Chixiong, the former captain of the Jinwu Guard, who was unconscious and tied up with a sack over his head.

Xu Qi'an felt relieved when he arrived, and he thanked his helpers with a fist: "Thank you all. The Sangpo case will be resolved today."

He wanted to put an end to the Sangpo case and the conflict between the Dao and the Demon.

In the Golden Luang Hall, after the normal court rituals, Emperor Yuan Jing asked, "Is there any progress in the Sangpo case?"

All the ministers looked at Wei Yuan, their expressions varied, but mostly gloating.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward and said loudly, "We implore Your Majesty to investigate and give me justice."

Wei Yuan glanced at the troublemaker from the Ministry of Rites, then turned to Emperor Yuan Jing and bowed, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Sangpo case has been solved."

The hall erupted into discussion.Emperor Yuan Jing was taken aback, squinted his eyes, and leaned forward slightly: "Who is the mastermind?"

Wei Yuan said, "It's meaningless for me to say. Your Majesty can summon Zhou Chixiong, the former commander of the Jinwu Guard."

The Minister of Rites raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Zhou Chixiong has already fled the capital. How can he be summoned?"

Wei Yuan stared at him with a smile and said loudly, "Zhou Chixiong is just outside the palace walls. Your Majesty, please summon him."

For a moment, the court fell silent.
