The Robbery Case at the Iron Ring Mountain

In the examination venue, everyone’s eyes gathered on Su Yang.

The sword intent around Su Yang burst out. With a wave of his hand, a sword slash formed by sword intent was launched. He tore through the void and instantly arrived in front of the purple-gold stone.

“Whoosh!”

There was a soft sound, but there was not much movement. However, the stone shattered into two halves.

“Hiss…” Everyone was shocked.

Shattering a purple-gold stone with a single move was something that could only be done by someone at the peak of the fourth grade.

Where did this young man come from?

“You passed.” Even Ma Wu couldn’t help but size Su Yang up seriously. He really couldn’t recognize him before giving up.

Su Yang returned to his seat and touched his chin. He felt that he was still a little high-profile.

No, the main reason was that this purple-gold stone wasn’t that hard. He had only casually attacked.

The first assessment ended here, and everyone at the scene remembered Su Yang.

“This first test is only to prevent people who don’t know their place from entering. It’s a kind of test. The next test is whether you can become the Four-Direction Inspector.” Ma Wu looked around and continued, “Assessment Mission: Investigate the robbery in the Iron Ring Mountain.”

“The assessment time is one month or the case is over.”

“If you discover anything along the way, you can communicate with the Martial Suppression Division. At the same time, the members of the Martial Suppression Division over there will also cooperate with you.”

“After the assessment, the victor will be decided based on your contributions. The top four will be the Four-Direction Inspector.”

As he spoke, Ma Wu waved his hand, and the members of the Martial Suppression Division began to move, and information was distributed to the eight of them.

“This is the information about the robbery at the Iron Ring Mountain. You can take a look, including the list of looted items.”

‘The case’s words are currently locked on a rough range. A portion of the looted items appeared in Yonghe City. At present, the surroundings of Yonghe City have been sealed off. You can start your investigation from Yonghe City.”

“The assessment officially begins now.”

After Ma Wu gave a simple explanation, he announced that the assessment had begun, allowing everyone to move.

No one was in a hurry. They all looked at the information on the spot, including Su Yang.

Originally, Su Yang thought that he only needed to have enough martial strength, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

That’s right…If the Patrol Inspector did not have the ability to judge, he would not be able to do it even if he was just a boorish man.

[Iron Ring Mountain Robbery]

[Location: Iron Ring Mountain Official Road]

[Clue: 3 – 10 people. The strongest among them is at least fifth grade. He is extremely strong and is suspected to be a body-refining martial artist. He is very tall and has robbed goods worth millions of taels of silver. All 16 people escorting the goods are dead. The goods are suspected to be sold in Yonghe City recently. Currently, Yonghe City has been sealed off.]

[Item list: Tier 5 Bone Forming Pill, Tier 5 Spirit Purple Pill, Star Iron Sand…]

There was not much information. After reading it once, Su Yang put away the list first. It was not like he had a photographic memory, so he could take it out and take a look if he needed it.

The rest of them had also finished reading and were ready to leave.

Yonghe City was two hundred miles away from Tianfeng County. With the speed of the Wind Horses, one and a half hours was enough.

Su Yang returned to the restaurant, took back the Wind Horse, and set off after leaving the city gate.

He was the first to leave Tianfeng County, but he was soon overtaken by the other candidates.

The horses that the other examinees rode were better than his. It could be seen that Su Yang was far inferior to an ordinary fourth-grade martial artist. His strength came too quickly, and some of the additional things had not caught up.

At this time, whoever reached Yonghe City first would be able to obtain first-hand information and might even win the assessment. Therefore, no one would wait for Su Yang.

When he saw that Su Yang was riding a horse that was only a Wind Horse, he was secretly happy.

However, not everyone was like this.

“Brother Su…Brother Su.”

Su Yang turned his head in confusion and found that it was Ye Jiang, who was the first to take the test.

Ye Jiang was riding a Scarlet Blood Horse, a seventh-grade demonic beast. A demonic beast of this rank could easily travel ten thousand miles a day.

However, this person slowed down after standing beside him.

“Brother Ye, what are you doing?”

Ye Jiang laughed and said, “Oh, it’s okay. It’s just a companion. It’s a bit lonely on the road.”

Su Yang smiled and said, “Brother Ye is right, but this assessment is for the top four. If you go early, you might be able to obtain more beneficial information.”

Su Yang did not believe Ye Jiang’s words, but the others did not show any malice.

“I’m not in a hurry. If this case was so easy to solve, the Martial Suppression Division would have solved it long ago.”Ye Jiang said nonchalantly.

Seeing that Su Yang was silent, Ye Jiang did not mind and followed Su Yang.

After a while, the two of them arrived at Yonghe City.

At this moment, the entire Yonghe City was under martial law. They could enter and exit, but the checks were extremely strict.

The two of them entered and soon arrived at the Martial Suppression Division, and there also had a person to receive them. Firstly, it was convenient for them to connect with the local Martial Suppression Division, and secondly, it was to lead the way for them.

The person who received Su Yang was a young man named Li Mingyuan.

“Any new discoveries?” Su Yang asked Li Mingyuan.

“A little. Yesterday, we caught some villagers selling goods, but they only took the goods and were responsible for selling them. The silver notes they obtained were all taken away by birds and beasts, and no one knows where they went.”

“These villagers didn’t see the other party’s appearance, nor did they have any information about the other party. I think the perpetrator must have some special means.”

Li Mingyuan answered truthfully.

Taken away by bird beasts? Where could they fly to?

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “Is there anyone in Yonghe City who is good at this?”

“Yes, we’ve already conducted an investigation, but we didn’t find any problems.”Li Mingyuan replied.

“Did you send someone to keep an eye on them?” Su Yang continued to ask.

“This… No, I didn’t.”

“Give me the information of those who are good at this.”Su Yang instructed.

“Yes.”

Under Su Yang’s arrangement, Li Mingyuan immediately took action. He found a copy of the record and handed it to Su Yang.

“Li Hongyun, 45 years old, has a flock of yellow birds…”

“Li Kaiji, thirty-seven years old. He has bird control skills…”

“Li Chang, 24 years old, has beast-controlling skills…”

“…”

There were a total of seven people, which was not a lot. Su Yang looked through them and planned to start investigating them.

Since this incident happened in Yonghe City and was related to beast control. Then the direction of the investigation would definitely be here.

Perhaps there was another point, and that was that the culprit was in the mountains outside. But if that was really the case, there was no way to investigate. Was he going to search the mountain?

“How many soldiers can I mobilize?” After thinking for a while, Su Yang spoke again.

“Normally, if there is a major discovery, we can apply for more.” Li Mingyuan quickly replied to the question.

“Okay, then get some people here. From now on, collect all the information about these seven people. We have to investigate them thoroughly.”

“Remember, just keep an eye on them. Don’t alert the enemy. Report to me every day.”

Su Yang was not in a hurry after giving the instructions. He planned to walk around Yonghe City while waiting for information and see if he could find anything useful.

“Yes.”

Li Mingyuan immediately acted according to the instructions. Although the young man in front of him looked younger than him, he felt more pressure than facing his boss.
