The same goes for Dong Jiu. In his eyes, Ye Xun is so young and he doesn't think Ye Xun can be very strong.

Even though Ye Xun was born into a martial arts family, at the age of eighteen, even with extraordinary talent, he would only have the strength of the sixth level of Daoxuan Qi at most.

Even though the Imperial Court's Grand Council was involved in many secrets, people in the martial arts world knew that if one wanted to serve as the commander of the Council, there was a hard condition: one's Daoxuan Qi must have reached the seventh level.

Although Dong Jiu was not sure how strong the captured commander was, he was definitely at least at the seventh level.

But Ye Xun not only took his palm strike head-on, but was also able to rebound the attack and injured him with a punch.

Such strength is not something that one should have at his age.

Could it be that the young master had some adventure tonight?

Dong Jiu was guessing in his heart and glanced at Ye Xun, who was looking at the injured commander of the Military Affairs Council with a smug look on his face.

"Yan Zong, seal his acupuncture points to relieve his pain. Don't let him die."

According to Ye Xun's request, Murong Fu stepped forward and tapped the man a few times, then floated him into the iron cage.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Ah Qing stepped forward and carefully examined every part of Ye Xun's body. Although she had some understanding of Ye Xun's strength after last night, Ye Xun was hit by a palm from a Daoxuan realm strong man after all, so she was so excited when she heard that Ye Xun was going to compete with others.

Fortunately, Ye Xun's strength was stronger than he imagined, and he defeated the opponent in one move.

Ye Xun smiled faintly: "I'm fine, don't worry, Ah Qing."

After that, Ye Xun led the others into the cage again. Looking at the man whose hands and feet were bound again, Ye Xun asked again: "How about it, can I know your name now? Can you tell me everything you know?"

The man slowly raised his head again, his expression somewhat painful. It was obvious that Ye Xun's punch just now had caused him considerable pain.

Looking at Ye Xun's young face, although the man didn't want to admit it, everything that just happened was so real.

The man coughed and a trace of self-mockery appeared on his face: "I boast that I am the commander of the military department and my cultivation is pretty good, but I never thought that I couldn't even beat a little kid."

Ye Xun frowned slightly: "You know, this is not what I want to hear."

"I'm willing to accept the loss. What do you want to know?"

"What is your name and what position do you hold in the Military Affairs Office?"

"My name is Baili Shang, I'm forty-three years old, and I'm the commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Military Affairs Department."

"What are you doing in Huangcun?"

Because the system checks and balances Ma Ning'er and Hong Xiguan, he is naturally clear about the series of reasons involved. He asked this just to confirm whether Baili Shang would lie to him.

Ye Xun's gaze always stayed on Baili Shang's face. The moment Ye Xun asked, his expression froze briefly, and there was an obvious hint of hesitation in his eyes.

But after a short while, Baili Shang sighed and said, "Forget it. I have served the Military Affairs Office for more than 20 years. Now that I have fallen into your hands, the Military Affairs Office will not save me. If they knew I was here, they would definitely come to kill me. The reason why I chose not to speak just now was just my personal emotion. Since I lost to you in the duel, I will naturally keep my promise."

"This time, the Military Affairs Office settled in Huangcun just for one person."

"who."

"His name is Hong Xiguan. He used to be a member of the Grand Council and served as a director of the Grand Council. However, for some reason, he defected and we are only responsible for arresting him."

Ye Xun smiled and said, "To capture one person, your Military Affairs Office will have to dispatch more than 60 people, as well as several masters from the assassination camp and the East Factory. Do you think I will believe it just based on this?"

Baili said, "I didn't lie to you about this, but it was a little difficult to catch this man. On his way to escape, he was rescued by a man from a sect called Xingyue Sword Sect."

"We also sneaked into Xingyue Sword Sect to arrest people, but Xingyue Sword Sect had many experts stationed there, so we failed. That's why we transferred a large number of people from the Royal Capital as well as experts from the Assassination Battalion and the East Factory."

"Are you planning to attack by force?" Ye Xun asked tentatively.

"No!" Baili Shang shook his head. "The Grand Council is a court organization after all, and the court has no grudges with the various sects in the martial arts world, so they will not attack violently, but will only arrest people secretly. That is why we will be stationed in Huang Village, thirty miles outside Ningyang City, to look for opportunities to act."

"It's just that you showed up before we could do anything, and then I was caught and brought here."

After listening to Baili Shang's words, Ye Xun did not get the information he wanted. He already knew everything he said through the system and the Demon Palace before he took action against them. All he wanted to know was whether the imperial court really intended to take action against the various factions in the martial arts world.

"Why did you arrest Hong Xiguan?"

Baili Shang said: "I have just said that this man called Hong Xiguan rebelled, so the Military Affairs Office arrested him."

"Why did he rebel?" Ye Xun asked again. Although he knew that Baili Shang was only a team commander, he really wanted to confirm whether Hong Xiguan's disappearance was true.

Baili Shang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard that he seemed to know a secret of the commander-in-chief and was afraid that the commander-in-chief would kill him, so he defected and ran away."

"What secret?" Ye Xun asked.

"As for what the secret is, I don't know. After all, I am just the commander of a small team. The commander-in-chief's secret is not something we can get involved in."

"But judging from the commander-in-chief's attitude towards Hong Xiguan, and the fact that he was willing to send many experts to capture or kill him, this secret must be very important."

Baili Shang's last words made Ye Xun's heart sink. Although these words didn't seem to contain any information, they actually made Ye Xun certain that Hong Xiguan had indeed fled because of a secret. And judging from the attitude of the Grand Council towards Hong Xiguan's pursuit, this secret might be what Hong Xiguan said, that the court wanted to wipe out the martial arts sects.

Although these cannot make Ye Xun 100% sure, there is at least a 70 to 80 percent probability.

"Besides these, what else do you know?"

"No, I have already told you all the information about this operation. From now on, you can kill or chop me up as you wish."

Ye Xun smiled faintly, and once again scanned Baili Shang from head to toe, and then said to Dong Jiu: "Remove all his chains, and let the doctor in the mansion treat his wounds and internal injuries, don't let him die. Also, keep him well fed and well-drinked every day, and of course, keep a close watch on him, don't let him escape."

After saying all this, Ye Xun walked out of the iron cage without looking back and headed towards the exit of the basement.

Baili Shang was left with a confused look on his face. He had already told everything he knew and had lost his usefulness. So why didn't this guy kill him? Instead, he found a doctor to heal his wounds and provide him with food.

Although he was puzzled by this, Baili Shang was secretly relieved. At least he had saved his life for the time being, and as long as he was alive, there would be a possibility of getting out.
