Sure, here's the translated text:

Those controlled by the Soul-Searching Secret Technique cannot lie, and everything they say is the truest memory in their soul!

The man from Feiyang Martial Arts Academy recounted the whole story in great detail.

Once the person finished speaking.

He Dong waved his hand, and the man fell unconscious to the ground.

"Qin Family, Feiyang Martial Arts Academy, do you have anything else to say?" He Dong's voice was cold, laced with murderous intent!

The old woman from the Qin Family and Qin Zhen hung their heads, speechless.

The crowd was in an uproar.

They all called for the Commandery Governor's Mansion to punish the two severely!

The matter had already been resolved, and Ye Chen had no intention of staying any longer.

How to deal with it would be the business of the Commandery Governor's Mansion.

If they were to be killed, it would have happened the moment He Dong appeared, not lingered until now.

"Vice Dean He, let's go," said Ye Chen.

He Dong nodded, then turned to Qu Changfeng and said, "Do as you see fit."

He Dong then left the podium with Ye Chen under everyone's watch.

Once their figures disappeared.

The crowd's gaze shifted back to the podium, staring at the two from the Qin Family. If looks could kill, these two would have died countless times!

"Lord Governor, the lives of those from Unrivaled County are also lives. Feiyang Martial Arts Academy's Qin Family used such malicious schemes, treating us as nothing. This matter cannot be easily forgiven!"

"That's right, the Great Zhou Dynasty has laws. They've already caused deaths, and although the main culprit died at Ye Chen's hands, this so-called Qin Family also bears responsibility!"

"We plead with you, Lord Governor, to report this matter to the Capital City and ask for higher authorities to deal with it seriously!"

Qu Changfeng nodded.

In truth.

In this world where Martial Dao flourishes, the lives of ordinary people are worthless. Even as a prefect responsible for the people of a county, one must admit this fact.

When ordinary people die, it could be a big deal or no deal at all.

But now, this matter can't be brushed off.

Because Ye Chen's name is too great—any matter involving him is no trivial matter!

Moreover, Unrivaled County has just experienced a very brutal war.

What is the significance of war? It's to block the Demon Race in Demon Suppression Valley and the demon cave so that the people and cultivators of Unrivaled County can live a peaceful life. But right at this critical moment, this matter erupted—the people of Feiyang Martial Arts Academy's Qin Family disregard the lives of Unrivaled County's people, inciting such fierce reactions!

Qu Changfeng shouted, "Arrest them and imprison them, send them to the Capital City tomorrow!"

Qin Zhen's face twisted with rage, staring at Qu Changfeng, "Qu Changfeng, you're just a mere prefect. You dare imprison us; you'll see the consequences sooner or later!"

Qu Changfeng looked at Qin Zhen, and his saber slashed diagonally.

The flash of the blade!

Qin Zhen's other arm fell to the ground.

Qin Zhen fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Qu Changfeng's expression was cold, "Now, you've violated the emperor's laws, and it's only right I arrest you. I also advise you: don't even think about resisting or escaping, or your crime will be increased!"

The old woman from the Qin Family hung her head.

Although her cultivation wasn't significant, in the Qin Family her status was average, but regardless, she had reached the Mortal Transformation Realm and with the Qin Family's background, she was a figure of some standing.

The result.

Today, she fell in such a place as Unrivaled County.

She knew very well, given the current situation, the only thing she could do was to be imprisoned in Unrivaled County's jail and then sent to the Capital City; she couldn't think of anything else.

Because indeed, they were guilty, and being sent to the Capital City would at most result in a minor punishment to appease public outrage. If they attempted to escape, it would be a complete challenge to the Great Zhou Dynasty's laws, and at that point, neither the Qin Family nor Feiyang Martial Arts Academy could save their lives!

......

Ye Chen and He Dong walked the road back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, not in a rush.

Taking the opportunity, He Dong recounted the whole story to Ye Chen.

It turns out, when Ye Chen returned after completing his last mission, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy didn't pay much attention. But as Meng Changtian quietly orchestrated some schemes which were discovered by Ouyang Shang, Ouyang Shang began to intervene, surprisingly capturing someone who was aware of Qin Jing's plotting and detained him ever since.

Today, after Ye Chen and Qu Xiao departed Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Ouyang Shang was aware that someone from the Qin Family had secretly arrived in Unrivaled County, so he instructed He Dong to follow covertly.

"Dean Ouyang is insightful," Ye Chen sincerely remarked.

He Dong also felt quite emotional, "Despite Dean Ouyang not interfering much in Academy affairs, in truth, he silently monitors everything in the Academy.

When you first joined the Academy and had a conflict with the Star Spirit System, Dean Ouyang knew of it, but he didn't intervene, treating those incidents as part of your trials and tribulations.

The Academy has many unspeakable secrets that Dean Ouyang is also aware of, but he still doesn't manage them.

Where there's light, there will be darkness, which cannot be changed.

Moreover, darkness can also foster growth.

What Dean Ouyang continuously does is prevent darkness from encroaching upon Cangxing Martial Arts Academy."

Clearly, He Dong holds deep respect for Ouyang Shang!

......

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Lingwu Department.

As soon as Ye Chen returned, a booming sound suddenly reached his ears!

The sound came from the area where Crumbling Cliff was located in the Lingwu Department, and Ye Chen's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement.

He knew his master brother Yuan Polu had already taken the Dragon Blood Pill and had been constantly assisted by teacher Yang Tianji in refining the pill's energy.

Judging by the commotion, it might already be successful!

Yuan Polu lost his cultivation, albeit because he helped Liu Meng'Er detox, but fundamentally because of Ye Chen.

Regarding this matter.

Ye Chen's heart always bore a deep sense of guilt!

He long planned to help his master brother Yuan Polu recover his cultivation no matter what.

If Yuan Polu could recover now, that would be the best outcome.

Upon reaching Crumbling Cliff, Ye Chen found Liu Meng'Er already there, anxiously watching Yuan Polu in the distance.

At this moment.

Yuan Polu sat cross-legged under Crumbling Cliff, eyes closed, channeling his breath.

He was enveloped in an exceedingly powerful aura, with faint sounds of dragon roars reaching Ye Chen's ear.

Yang Tianji stood beside Yuan Polu, his expression serious.

Suddenly.

Yuan Polu's skin cracked, his aura instantly became extremely chaotic, his flesh seemingly about to explode.

Yang Tianji immediately acted to suppress the violent aura surrounding Yuan Polu.

"Senior sister, what's happening?" Ye Chen anxiously asked.

Liu Meng'Er furrowed her brows, "The Dragon Blood Pill's potency is too dominant, and master brother's body can't withstand it. Teacher can only suppress it temporarily..."

"I miscalculated." At this point, Yang Tianji appeared, standing beside Ye Chen and Liu Meng'Er, his expression marked with regret, "The royal family's Dragon Blood Pill is far more overbearing than I imagined. No wonder the royal family gave it to me so easily. It seems the royal family's Dragon God Technique is necessary to truly refine this Dragon Blood Pill."

Ye Chen quickly figured some things out.

The royal family deliberately refrained from mentioning the need for the Dragon God Technique to truly refine the Dragon Blood Pill, likely wanting Yang Tianji to seek them again!

Previously, the royal family used a Dragon Blood Pill to entice Yang Tianji to go to Lingyun Mountain.

Now, they wish to use this matter to continue dealing with Yang Tianji!

At this moment.

In Ye Chen's mind, Luo Qingyi's voice resonated.

"You'll soon enter the Sword Tomb, and I'll take you to see a senior from the Dragon Race."
