PS: There will be another update after 12 o'clock tonight, asking for a recommendation ticket! Asking for collection! Asking members to click! Thank you everyone!

  Yan Xun stared at Yan Zhao Ge, Yan Zhao Ge smiled slightly and remained silent, no longer speaking.

  The law enforcement elder looked at the two of them and sighed: "This kind of secrecy, I also didn't know about it, and there is no record in the sect's classics."

  "Yan Shi's nephew, you may have started a trend. In any case, this matter should first be credited to your merit."

  "As for whether the elder in charge of Lingfeng Valley was aware, we will have to summon him and interrogate him and other relevant personnel involved with Lingfeng Valley before a conclusion can be drawn."

  Yanzhao smiled and said: "The secret of the Jade Essence is currently still within a certain range, after all, this method of obtaining it is actually very easy."

  "Besides Lingfeng Valley, there are other places in the world that produce cloud-patterned stones. This thing is far from being as rare and precious as jade essence."

  "This door indeed requires a large amount of jade essence, but after all, it's precious because it's rare. To gain the upper hand, one must still seal off the news."

  "Excavation should also proceed with caution, so as not to attract attention. I believe the seniors of our sect will have a comprehensive plan in place, so I won't say more here."

  The law enforcement elder said: "This is natural."

  He glanced at Yan Xu and said slowly, "This is a major matter, it's no longer just a problem of Dong Tang, nor is it within the authority of Tian Dong Zhou, it needs to be decided by the sect."

  Yan Xu's face turned solemn, and he nodded: "I agree."

  Yanzhao Song continued, "However, the current importance of Lingfeng Valley is no longer comparable to what it was in the past. Before the sect takes out its formal charter, stability is still needed. Is it suitable for a pending elder to preside over there?"

  The law enforcement elder fell silent for a moment, and Yan Xun's eyes narrowed into a slit, with cold light bursting out from within.

  "Yanzhao Song, is this something you can interrupt?"

  "You have indeed made contributions in the matter of Yunwen Stone, but as for the appointment and dismissal of the elder in charge of this region, is it something you can participate in?"

  Don't be too proud of yourself!

  Yanzhao Song said faintly: "Wen Ning is Elder Sheng's confidant, you naturally know him better than I do."

  Yan Xiu's eyes shone with an even colder light, how could he not hear the meaning behind Yan Zhao Ge's words?

  Your confidant may be colluding with your enemies, what about you?

  The law enforcement elder looked at Yan Zhao Ge and let out a soft sigh.

  He's indeed a completely unyielding character and is really arrogant, not to mention the elder in charge of affairs, he even dares to go against the chief elder.

  But this time he was just suspicious without concrete evidence, and came to interrogate Yan Zhao Ge. Now that there is no real evidence to prove the secret of Wen Ning's cloudy stone, how can we not investigate?

  He certainly knew that Yan Zhao Ge was counter-attacking, but who can guarantee that Wen Ning didn't know anything about it?

  Although ignorance is no excuse, just thinking about the massive amount of Yunwen stones that flowed out every year before makes the law enforcement elder feel heartbroken.

  As for Wen Ning's report on Yan Zhao Ge, it is more likely due to factional struggles and personal grudges caused by the incident with Cui Lao Da.

  The Lord of East Tang said slowly at this time: "Although the Spirit Wind Valley is within the territory of East Tang, it is a private property of Guang Cheng Mountain. I don't want to say much, but in the future when the jade essence is mined, please reserve some for me, and naturally, we won't let Guang Cheng Mountain suffer a loss. Everything will be done according to the rules."

  "In the past two years, the production of jade essence in the mountain and wind domains seems to be somewhat tense, and it is very scarce. My East Tang is also urgently needed, so I ask Guang Chengshan for help."

  Although he didn't say it out loud, Ling Fenggu was indeed on the territory of East Tang Country, and the master of East Tang Country could make people feel his dissatisfaction with Wen Ningzhi without explicitly stating it.

  Yan Xiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his face returned to calm.

  He reopened his eyes, and his gaze was calm. He turned to look at Xu Chuan on the other side: "Although I believe that Ning Zhi is indeed unaware of the situation, now that he has to accept the investigation, and Lingfeng Valley needs to be quickly rectified and comforted, he is indeed not suitable to continue serving as the executive elder of that place."

  "Bringing in outsiders will take time to get familiar with the situation, and the matter of Yunwen Stone requires a loose outside but tight inside approach, not a moment can be delayed. Xu Chuan, you are the executive of Lin Yuan City, closest to Ling Feng Valley, and have the most contact with them normally, so for now, let's temporarily put you in charge of Ling Feng Valley until the sect makes an official decision."

  "One person holding two posts, the burden is heavy, you should be more vigilant."

  Xu Chuanping calmed himself down, and the flattering tone he had when alone with Yan Zhao Ge completely disappeared. He replied solemnly: "I will do my best to fulfill the orders of the imperial court, and devote all my energy and thoughts."

  Yan Xiu glanced at Yan Zhao Ge, didn't say a word, nodded towards the Law Enforcement Elder and the East Tang Emperor: "Han Lao is related to the strange changes in Long Quan, this matter is not trivial, I'll go try to find him again."

  After bidding farewell, Yan Xu said no more and stepped out of the grand hall.

  The Lord of East Tang also stood up and said to the law enforcement elder: "The strange change in the Dragon Spring is not trivial, the matter of the Jade Essence can be discussed slowly later. I will go to the Dragon Spring to take a look, Elder please do as you wish, if there is anything, East Tang will cooperate."

  The law enforcement elder nodded: "Thank you for your understanding here, Your Majesty. The Great Day Holy Sect won't make things difficult for Your Majesty. Our sect will negotiate with them."

  Yanzhao Song smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, slow down, later Zhao Song will go visit again."

  The master of Dongtang Kingdom had a few smiles on his stern face, gently patted Yan Zhao Ge's shoulder and walked out.

  The law enforcement elder coughed lightly and looked at Yan Zhao Ge, saying slowly: "As for Wen Ning's matter, let's not talk about it for now."

  "Yan Shi, your nephew, this time you brought the Jin family's disciples to Zhen Long Quan for training. During that time, one of the disciples went missing and his life or death is unknown. Even if it wasn't caused by you, as the leading master, you still bear some responsibility."

  "You've found a way to further enhance the Inner Crystal Furnace, this is a great achievement."

  "Powerfully defeated the orthodox genius of the Taiyi Holy Sect, Xuan Yu Long, and raised the prestige of our sect, also worthy of praise."

  "The secret of Yunwen Stone has been discovered, and it is a great achievement."

  "Credit cannot offset penalty, and penalty cannot offset credit. Our door clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. Your final reward and some punishment will be formally issued in the near future. Some matters involve secrecy and your reward will not be made public. I believe you understand the reason."

  This punishment is just symbolic and belongs to the sect's rules and regulations. Even the leader of the sect must follow it, but it has nothing to do with physical pain.

  And the reward is obviously much more generous.

  Yanzhao Song naturally understood the reasoning and smiled nodding: "I understand."

  Yan Zhao Ge walked out of the grand hall, and immediately saw that all the young disciples who had followed him into Zhen Long Yuan gathered around: "Brother Yan, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

  Yanzhao Song smiled: "Originally there was no problem at all, just make it clear to the elders and that's it, what else could happen?"

  "But some people have something on."

  On that day, Lingfeng Valley's Elder Wen Ning was temporarily removed from his position and summoned by the Eastern Continent's Law Enforcement Elder for questioning.

  Not long after, the formal reward for the Yan Zhao Song also came true.
