As the martial arts masters at the Houtian Peak injected the liquid from the syringe into their arms, they immediately cried out in pain, their faces contorted in anguish as they emitted a terrifyingly fierce aura. Their strength burst forth, elevating their power to the cusp of the Innate Realm.

"This stuff is really impressive,"

Ye Luo, interested, eyed the syringe in their hands. However, the masters had already charged towards him, their powers stepping into the cusp of the Innate Realm, their eyes glinting with fierce murderous intent.

Though their strength was now comparable to Ye Luo’s, it still fell short of a true master at the cusp of the Innate Realm, let alone compared to Ye Luo.

The Nine Yang Mystic Art was activated, releasing the tremendously powerful Nine Yang True Qi.

Ye Luo’s ferocious fists hammered down, his overwhelming strength sweeping through, the Maple Leaf Organization masters who had enhanced themselves with the injection couldn’t withstand Ye Luo and were blasted away.

Several Silver Needles shot out, piercing into their chests, and they were immediately breathless.

Ye Luo then proceeded to give chase, but at that moment, his gaze fiercely shifted to the coffin before him, fixating on the undecayed corpse’s mouth which flickered with traces of green light. He pried the mouth open and took out a green pearl.

Clasped in his hand, the pearl emitted a cool sensation that flooded into his body, instantly easing his entire being.

And as the pearl was removed from the corpse’s mouth, the preserved body instantly turned into a pile of bones, a very peculiar sight.

"It seems everything was because of this pearl, it looks like a treasure indeed,"

Ye Luo said indifferently while holding the pearl, and then tucked it into his chest. His gaze swept over the coffin again and he took out more precious jade jewelry.

Since he was already there, it wouldn’t make sense not to profit from the visit; this would be his reward for the effort.

"This is... Gold Silk Soft Armor!"

Suddenly, Ye Luo noticed a set of soft armor made entirely of golden threads on the skeletal corpse, his eyes revealing a trace of joy.

The Gold Silk Soft Armor was a rare defensive treasure, made entirely of the toughest goldworm silk, with an extremely strong defensive power, impervious to blades and spears, a treasure greatly desired by martial arts masters.

Ye Luo had also heard about the Gold Silk Soft Armor from his master and hadn’t expected to encounter it here.

"Such a good item being wasted on a corpse is really too extravagant."

Without hesitation, Ye Luo quickly stripped the Gold Silk Soft Armor from the corpse and immediately donned it on himself.

"Hmm, a perfect fit. It seems it was tailor-made for me,"

Ye Luo shamelessly remarked.

By the time Ye Luo left the tomb, he found that Lang Kun was already lying on the ground, his eyes wide open and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, obviously killed, most likely by the Emissary who had charged out.

Ye Luo quickly rushed out, as the Imperial Jade Seal could not fall into the hands of the Maple Leaf Organization. He just hoped that the agents from the special bureau had arrived; if not, he would be in a tough spot. Even if he found the perpetrator, facing an opponent in the Innate Realm, he had no confidence to confront them.

Upon leaving the cave, with the Clairvoyant Eye activated, Ye Luo saw the black-robed Emissary, who had taken the wooden box, was being intercepted and was fiercely battling with two masters.

One of them was Wang Ruofeng, the leader of the Xuan Group from the special bureau who had sought him out previously. It appeared they had arrived in time, which relieved Ye Luo.

In a certain area of Qifeng Mountain, Wang Ruofeng and Sun Wu, two leaders from the special bureau, were locked in combat with the black-robed Emissary. Both were at the early stages of the Innate Realm and joined forces against the Emissary fighting one-handedly, but the latter’s combat power was formidable. Even against both of them, the Emissary was not at much of a disadvantage.

The experts from the Xuan Group and the Yellow Group stood by, watching the battle unfold before them, while Yang Bingning leaned against a large tree on the side, gasping for air. Her full and prominent chest rose and fell with her breathing, creating waves that dazzled onlookers.

"Pretty police officer sister, what’s got you so tired? Need me to give you a massage or something?"

Ye Luo suddenly appeared in front of Yang Bingning with a smile on his lips, startling her.

Yang Bingning glared at Ye Luo and said, "You okay?"

"What’s wrong with me?"

"Where’s Lang Kun?" Yang Bingning couldn’t help but ask as she looked at Ye Luo.

"Dead, killed by that guy in the black robe."

Ye Luo said bluntly, causing Yang Bingning’s brows to furrow slightly.

"That’s none of my business, that guy is stronger than me, I couldn’t have stopped him from killing Lang Kun," Ye Luo said with a shrug.

"Is that the Imperial Jade Seal inside?"

Yang Bingning’s eyes turned toward the wooden box in the hands of the black-robed emissary as she spoke indifferently.

"Should be, I haven’t opened it to see," Ye Lu’s eyes were fixed on the fierce battle before him.

"Hand over the Imperial Jade Seal, or you won’t make it out alive today."

Sun Wu faced the black-robed emissary with a cold, fierce expression, his moves ruthlessly decisive, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

"Hmph!"

The emissary merely snorted coldly, unleashing a palm strike that gathered all his strength, the terrifying power sending both sides staggering back.

"Is this all the strength your Special Security Bureau has?"

The black-robed emissary looked at them both and sneered coldly, his eyes glittering with an icy chill.

"Damned bastard, hand over the Imperial Jade Seal, or you won’t be walking out of Qifeng Mountain today," Sun Wu shouted arrogantly, full of rage at the black-robed emissary.

"Is that so? Then let’s show you the true might of the Maple Leaf Organization."

The black-robed emissary took out a syringe from his bosom, this time filled with a yellow liquid, and injected it into his body, pushing all the liquid into his system.

Ah!

All of a sudden, the black-robed emissary let out a painful cry, his face twisted grotesquely, veins bulging all over his body. He unleashed a terrifyingly fierce aura, his eyes filled with intense ferocity, and his presence surged, reaching the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

"Die!"

With a fierce glint in his eyes, the black-robed emissary stepped forward and launched a fierce assault on Wang Ruofeng and Sun Wu. The dreadful power he unleashed caused their expressions to change, their eyes showing a heavy sense of urgency as they each mobilized their strength to defend against the attack.
