Just as they stepped out of the secret chamber, they bumped into Chen Wenyuan, who looked tense, walking briskly towards them.

Chen Wenyuan lowered his voice and bowed. Seeing this, Su Yang sent Sun Wang away to prepare the horse and led him to a secluded corner.

"My benefactor, this is an urgent report from our informant."

Chen Wenyuan handed over a note: "There was something strange going on at the Huang residence this morning. The trunks were moved overnight, and the trusted steward Huang Chengzong left the city before dawn, seemingly preparing for an escape route."

After scanning the note, Su Yang crumpled the paper into small pieces between his fingers: "He's prepared for both possibilities! Have you compiled the evidence against Huang Shiyun and Fei Jianhua?"

"My benefactor, all the account books and secret letters have been sorted and organized. The secret letters about child abduction, salt and iron smuggling, and the three-petaled lotus mark are all clearly documented."

Chen Wenyuan's spirits lifted.

Su Yang nodded, his voice calm, and said, "The time has come! Act immediately and secretly spread all the charges against the Huang family!"

Chen Wenyuan's gaze sharpened: "My benefactor, are you going to expose all of this and let the whole city know?"

"Exactly!"

Su Yang quickened his pace and gave specific instructions: "First, the child abduction case must be written in a bloody and tearful manner; second, his collusion with the Jianghuai Army and his smuggling of military supplies, salt, and iron must be mentioned; third, his creation and use of evil drugs to control people must be pointed out."

He paused, then added the most crucial point: "Remember, all sources of information must be made shrouded in mystery—I want the entire city of Jingling to be buzzing with talk of the Huang family's crimes within three days, to utterly ruin Huang Shiyun's reputation!"

Chen Wenyuan was deeply moved and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your subordinate understands! We will ensure that the Huang family's evil deeds are spread throughout the city and that their foundation is destroyed!"

Su Yang instructed him to protect himself and entrusted him with all matters within the city before turning and heading towards the camp gate.

Sun Wang was already waiting with his horse. Su Yang mounted his horse and galloped towards Willow Manor.

At the Jianghuai Army camp, 150 li away from Jingling City, the atmosphere inside the central command tent was oppressive and deathly silent.

Du Fuwei, dressed in a crimson royal robe, sat upright on a tiger-skin chair. His face was square and imposing, yet his tiger-like eyes were surging with boundless rage.

Early this morning, urgent reports came back from Jingling via carrier pigeon: ally Yuwen Zhuo's assassination attempt failed and he was killed; the 30,000-strong night raiding army was routed; and his adopted son Li Lie was captured and his fate unknown. He suppressed his anger and waited for the defeated soldiers to report the details in person. The oppressive atmosphere made the entire tent so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.

On either side of the main tent stood several heavily armored generals and a few young men with solemn expressions—Du Fuwei's other adopted sons, all with their heads bowed and breaths held low.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, the beloved glass cup from the former Sui Dynasty court in his hand was crushed into powder, which fell through his fingers along with the wine.

He suddenly stood up, his crimson royal robes fluttering without wind, and a domineering, fiery, terrifying aura, like a volcanic eruption, instantly filled the entire tent, making everyone breathless.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

Du Fuwei roared like thunder, his gaze sweeping over the crowd: "You didn't investigate Su Yang's background at all? When did Fang Zetao acquire such a figure under his command?!"

now.

Du Fuwei felt angry and frustrated.

Thirty thousand people!

Last night, more than half of the 30,000 elite troops were lost, with only 15,000 survivors escaping back. Even Li Lie was captured alive!

The foremost lieutenant, his teeth chattering, forced back his fear as he reported, "General, please calm your anger! The northern city is now under the command of the newly appointed commander, Su Yang. This young man possesses uncanny martial arts skills; his icy blade aura is specifically designed to counter General Li's Fiery Cloud Force! After last night's rout, I gathered the remaining troops and fled overnight. By Chenshi (7-9 AM), we had stabilized our position, and by the end of Yishi (1-3 PM), I had rushed back to camp to report!"

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Du Fuwei snorted coldly, his gaze piercing the lieutenant like a knife. He slowly sat back in his chair, his fingers tapping the armrest, the anger in his eyes gradually turning into a deep, sinister glint.

He swept his gaze across the generals with the light of a hawk and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass down the order to gather those 15,000 defeated soldiers and regroup."

"Keep a close watch on Jingling, especially the northern part, and that Su Yang!"

"Everyone, get out! Flying Eagle, stay here!!"

Du Fuwei glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he pointed to one of his trusted confidants and gestured for him to stay.

After the other generals had left, Du Fuwei lowered his voice and instructed his trusted confidant, Feiying, "Feiying, quickly send a message by carrier pigeon to Yuwen Fa, telling him that something unexpected has happened in Jingling, and the plan needs to be accelerated! Most of the Xing Sui Alliance members they want to capture are hiding in the city. This matter concerns the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault, so have them personally oversee it and prevent any further mishaps!"

"As for Li Lie—"

A cold glint flashed in Du Fuwei's eyes: "My adopted son, Du Fuwei's son, won't die so easily, nor will he surrender so easily. Send men to infiltrate Jingling and find out where he's being held. If we can rescue him, we will; if not—"

He paused, then said in a chilling tone, "We cannot allow him to fall into the hands of others alive and become a tool to undermine the morale of our troops! Understand?"

The trusted general bowed and accepted the order: "This subordinate understands!"

He then quietly left the main tent.

Inside the empty tent, only Du Fuwei remained.

He gazed in the direction of Jingling City, his fingers unconsciously stroking his sleeve, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes: "Su Yang—daring to block my path, you shall be shattered to pieces! On the day Jingling City falls, I will personally take your head to pay tribute to Li Lie and the fallen soldiers!"

Willow Villa.

Su Yang sat cross-legged on a blue stone in the small cold pool, the cold air seeping into his body and transforming into skill level.

At the same time, his Bright Moon Qi Sea True Qi was also steadily improving.

【Moonlight Heart Sutra (Minor Success 55763/250000)】

He slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. The power of the cold spring he had just absorbed not only increased his proficiency in the Bright Moon Heart Technique by more than 40,000 points, but also made his internal energy more profound and pure.

"To advance to the Great Perfection stage, 195,000 more are needed—"

Seeing the once-dried-up cold spring, Su Yang's heart stirred. This small cold spring could revive in just a few days, there must be some treasure inside!

"open!"

Thinking of this, Su Yang let out a low shout, and the Cold Abyss Blade in his hand was drawn from its sheath. The Cold Abyss Blade, carrying immense true energy, slashed fiercely towards the bottom of the pool.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the small cold spring and the artificial hill suddenly exploded. Amidst the flying debris, a crack more than ten feet wide was revealed at the bottom of the pool!

Beneath the crack, instead of mud and gravel, flowed a small, dark river, its water crystal clear yet chillingly cold.

Even more startling is that in the center of the underground river, there is a five-foot-square, three-foot-thick piece of cold jade!

The jade was pure white, with a thin layer of frost on its surface. As soon as the underground river water approached the edge of the jade, it was instantly quenched with extreme cold, turning into the cold spring that had just nourished Su Yang, gushing upwards.

"I see!"

A look of surprise flashed in Su Yang's eyes. He leaped down the crevice and landed steadily on the cold jade platform.

As soon as he settled down, without even needing to actively circulate his cultivation technique, the Bright Moon Qi Sea within his Tanzhong acupoint spontaneously, steadily, and powerfully began to accelerate its rotation.

A chilling aura, far purer, more stable, and with a longer history than the water of a cold pool, emanated continuously from the cold jade, flowing through the acupoints and pores of the body, thread by thread, yet with unparalleled efficiency, into the meridians and merging into the dantian.

This feeling is completely different from the violent impact of jumping into an icy pool.

The cold pool is "predatory," while the cold jade is a "nourishing" and stable infusion, like spring rain nourishing all things, silent yet overwhelming, not only harmless to the body but also having a warming and nourishing effect.

Su Yang subconsciously looked at the panel and saw the numbers on it jumping rapidly.

[Moonlight Heart Technique Proficiency +1!]

【…

.】

"It increases a little with every breath!"

Su Yang was shocked. This cold jade stone platform was actually a natural cultivation treasure!

With such a treasure in hand, the perfection of the Bright Moon Heart Sutra is just around the corner!

He immediately sat cross-legged, no longer distracted, and focused all his energy on circulating the Bright Moon Heart Technique, letting the cold jade energy flow through his meridians, refining his true energy to become increasingly pure. The proficiency number on the panel also steadily increased.

"I bear the responsibility of guarding the North City and cannot remain here indefinitely... Why not take some of the Cold Jade back to the North City, so I can cultivate and defend the city at the same time?"

As Su Yang increased his proficiency, he looked at the cold jade beneath him and pondered silently.

The jade was enormous, and moving it intact would be too conspicuous. His gaze fell on a natural pattern on the jade platform, and a bold idea suddenly came to him.

He immediately drew the Cold Abyss Blade, pouring all his Bright Moon True Qi into it. The Cold Abyss Blade flashed white light, and with a clang, the blade cut into the texture. Only a faint sizzling sound could be heard as the cold jade was silently sliced ​​open like butter.

Fifteen minutes later.

A well-proportioned cold jade brick, two feet long, one and a half feet wide, and one foot thick, was separated out. Its coldness remained pure and identical to that of the original jade platform. Even if carried close to the body, it could allow the Bright Moon Heart Sutra to maintain a steady increase in proficiency.

Su Yang carefully wrapped the cold jade brick with his outer robe, then slung it over his back. He felt a chill seep into his meridians along his spine, but it was instantly assimilated by the Bright Moon True Qi. Instead of feeling heavy, it made his Qi Sea circulate more smoothly.

With his current cultivation level, this weight is nothing to him; he can travel and hold meetings without any problems. The Mother Jade Platform will remain here to be guarded, awaiting the day it will generate its own essence.

Below the North City Gate Tower.

A chilling aura rose silently from the sealed room, and a layer of white frost had formed around the jade bricks due to the extremely low temperature!

Su Yang strolled around the cold jade bricks, his gaze sweeping over the tiger painting on the wall.

[Forty-Nine Styles of Overlord Blade Proficiency +1!]

[Moonlight Heart Technique Proficiency +1!]

[Snowflake-Treading Skill Level +1!]

[...]

The panel in his mind kept flashing.

Defense duties were temporarily entrusted to Qiao Fenghai, who would notify him if anything came up. Qiao Fenghai then put aside all distractions and focused solely on improving his proficiency and strength in this secret room.

Time passed, and two days later.

In the secret chamber, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and his true energy surged forth suddenly, then instantly receded!

A powerful and terrifying aura emanated from his body!

【Moonlight Heart Sutra (Great Completion 1/1250000)】

"It's a great success!"

He slowly rose, clenching his fists lightly. He felt his internal energy surging like a vast ocean, several times more powerful than before, and even more refined and agile as it circulated. At the same time, Ta Xue Wu Hen also broke through to the Lesser Completion Realm through these two days of cultivation.

Just as Su Yang was about to check Xiao Cheng's "Treading Snow Without a Trace," there was a light knock on the door of the secret chamber, and Sun Wang's voice came from outside: "My benefactor, Chen Wenyuan has sent an urgent report: things are in chaos at the Huang family's place!"
