At that moment, what appeared in Ye Luoâs hand was a square-shaped golden seal base with four interwoven gold dragons, lifelike and exuding majesty, with the words "Granted by Heaven, May You Live Forever in Prosperity" boldly inscribed on the front. It was none other than the Imperial Jade Seal of Huaxia, lost for a millennium, embodying the imperial authority of Huaxia.
This Imperial Jade Seal was the most precious of the ancient relics of Huaxia, and to think that it reappeared in the world today.
Looking at the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand, shimmering with golden light and a mysterious authority, Yang Bingningâs eyes narrowed, reflecting a touch of astonishment.
Eh?
However, Ye Luo soon felt something was amiss, as the Nine Yang True Qi within him began to surge uncontrollably. A stream of Nine Yang True Qi poured into the Imperial Jade Seal, causing it to burst forth with dazzling golden radiance, making both Yang Bingningâs and Ye Luoâs eyes narrow sharply.
Just then, unbeknownst to both of them, a beam of golden light from within the Imperial Jade Seal shot straight into Ye Luoâs brain.
The golden light quickly dissipated, and both Yang Bingning and Ye Luo opened their eyes, looking at the now again serene Imperial Jade Seal in hand.
"Whatâs going on?" Yang Bingning frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with confusion.
Ye Luo shook his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, feeling as if something had been added to his brain, but right now he had no time to investigate.
At this moment, several figures swept down from Qifeng Mountain; they were Sun Wu, Wang Ruofeng, and others.
"What has happened here?"
On seeing Yan Feng shackled in handcuffs, Wang Ruofeng and the others furrowed their brows.
"Group Leader Wang, this Yan Feng is the spy of the Maple Leaf Organization within the police force. He just pulled a gun on us, attempting to snatch the Imperial Jade Seal," Yang Bingning said directly.
"This is the Imperial Jade Seal?"
At that moment, the eyes of the Yellow Group leader were fixated on the Jade Seal in Ye Luoâs hand, sparkling with excitement.
"Give it to me!" Sun Wu said bluntly, reaching out impatiently.
Ye Luo glanced at the other party but did not hand over the Jade Seal.
"What are you trying to do? I am the leader of the Special Security Bureauâs Yellow Group, tasked with taking the Jade Seal back. Are you also thinking of making a move to snatch it?" Sun Wu stared at Ye Luo and questioned coldly.
"If I wanted to snatch it, do you think you would still see this Imperial Jade Seal right now? I donât know how someone like you becomes a leader, with no brains at all," Ye Luo said to Sun Wu with no intention of being polite.
"You..."
Instantly, Sun Wuâs face darkened, and a glint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Whatâs with your tone, kid?" The young man Fei Yun by Sun Wuâs side glared at Ye Luo with cold hostility.
"Enough, stop arguing, Ye Luo, just hand over the Jade Seal to Group Leader Sun," Wang Ruofeng intervened at just the right moment.
"Here."
Ye Luo snorted and tossed the Jade Seal over, causing Sun Wuâs complexion to change as he hastily caught it, looking furious with cold, stern eyes fixed on him.
"Ye Luo, you have done a great service by retrieving the Imperial Jade Seal this time. I will report it to the superiors and ensure you receive due recognition," Wang Ruofeng said to Ye Luo with a calm expression.
"No need, I was simply fulfilling the duty of a Huaxia person," Ye Luo replied.
"By the way, what about those from the Maple Leaf Organization?"
"Only that strongest guy managed to escape; the rest are all dead. This time, they suffered quite a loss, and it served as a lesson for them," Wang Ruo Feng couldnât help but speak out.
"Oh, there are still some valuable jewels and such left inside the tomb; you guys can go look for them."
Ye Luo looked at Wang Ruo Feng and directly said.
"Beautiful police sister, now that the missionâs over, should we go grab a meal?"
A smile lingered on the corner of Ye Luoâs mouth as he looked at Yang Bingning.
"No need, I still have work to handle."
Yang Bingning outright refused.
"Then Iâm leaving, bye-bye."
Ye Luo smiled at Yang Bingning, got back into his red sports car, and quickly drove away from there.
"Group leader, that guy is way too arrogant; does he really think heâs accomplished something great?" Fei Yun said indignantly, his eyes flashing a cold light.
"Hmph!"
Sun Wu let out a cold snort, his eyes revealing a sinister look.
On the way back to Zhonghai City, in a car, Mingyue couldnât help but say to the person beside her, "Group leader, that Sun Wu keeping the Imperial Jade Seal for himself clearly shows he wants to take all the credit."
"Let him be, as long as the Imperial Jade Seal is safe," Wang Ruo Feng said indifferently, his eyes sparkling as he continued, "However, this Ye Luo is indeed a very good talent, and heâs also strong enough."
"Can you determine his realm, group leader?" Mingyue asked.
"I canât. He mustâve cultivated some special cultivation technique that obscures his realm from detection. But I can feel that heâs at least at the peak of the Acquired Realm, such strength at his age, his talent is definitely monstrous. Recruiting someone like him would be beneficial for the Special Security Bureau and the Xuan Group."
"Group leader, I donât think this person is the type who would want to join an organization; this might be a difficult task," Chen Chen said abruptly.
"Hmm, I know that. Letâs take it slow, Mingyue, youâve interacted with him, why donât you go and talk to him."
"Youâre not suggesting I use a beauty strategy, are you?" Mingyue pursed her lips and said.
"If it works, I donât mind if you use a bit of a beauty strategy without sacrificing yourself," said Wang Ruo Feng, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile.
Suddenly, Mingyueâs lips twitched, and she was speechless.
Meanwhile, in a location in Zhonghai, the emissary of the Maple Leaf Organization returned with a pale face.
This was one of the Maple Leaf Organizationâs footholds in Zhonghai, and the sight of the pale-faced emissary caused a change in the expressions of the other organization members.
"Emissary, what happened to you? Did you not get the Imperial Jade Seal?"
One of the Maple Leaf Organization members asked the emissary.
"Tell the higher-ups, the mission failed. The Imperial Jade Seal was obtained by the Special Security Bureau," said the emissary with a pale face, his breath weak.
Back at the villa, Ye Luo saw Luo Jingxuan, who seemed to be about to leave.
"Are you going out?"
"Yes, I have some things to handle."
Luo Jingxuan nodded and said, "Chen Baoshanâs representative sent an invitation, asking you to attend the jewelry auction held by Mingzhu Group in two days."
"Oh, I know."
Ye Luo nodded; he had heard about the auction from that Mr. Chen at the cocktail party the day before.
