Seeing Yang Chen’s curiosity, Yang Jinhe glanced around and then said: “Everyone disperse. Second Master, come with me and Yang Chen inside to discuss this in detail.”

Upon hearing Yang Jinhe’s order, the upper echelon of the clan dispersed.

Yang Jinhe and Second Master Yang followed Yang Chen into the house.

This made Yang Chen even more puzzled. After inviting Yang Jinhe and Second Master Yang to sit down, he asked, “Clan Leader, what on earth has happened to Fourth Elder… ?”

“This is what happened.” Yang Jinhe sighed: “Fourth Elder disappeared out of thin air a few days ago.”

“What?” Yang Chen exclaimed. “How did this happen?”

“I’m also puzzled about this matter, but so far there’s still no clue. Fourth

Elder’s Martial Arts Cultivation had reached the Body Refining Realm Peak. He’s only one step away from the Spiritual Martial Realm. He can even exchange a few moves with someone in the Spiritual Martial Realm. In our Yang Family, besides me and the Great Elder, he is undoubtedly the best martial artist.” Yang Jinhe said, frowning.

Second Master Yang also looked concerned: “Fourth Brother just mysteriously vanished.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen pondered, “Clan Leader, do you have any clues about this?”

“There is one. The Great Elder and I have led a large group of people to patrol the surrounding area and discovered traces of True Qi turbulence in the air. The Great Elder said the True Qi turbulence seemed more like the True Qi fluctuations generated by the Third Master’s cultivation method. It’s very likely that the Bandit Gang is behind it.”

Yang Jinhe said helplessly, “However, True Qi fluctuations can’t really prove anything. We are only speculating, and it’s hard to say that the Bandit Gang did this.”

“Even though there’s no evidence, since there’s such suspicion, it means there’s a high possibility that the Bandit Gang is involved. They still can’t let go of the incident from last time, and they’re planning to take revenge on our Yang Family.” Yang Chen pondered momentarily before saying so.

Yang Jinhe shook his head: “I’ve considered everything you’ve said. So now I strictly prohibit the clan members from leaving the Yang Family. However, this is just a temporary measure, and it’s hard to achieve a fundamental effect.

What’s more, we have no idea whether the Bandit Gang killed the Fourth Elder.’

“The Bandit Gang truly hates me. They might not have hurt the Fourth Elder. If they really wanted to kill him, there’s no need for the Third Master to act personally. There are many people in the Bandit Gang who could kill Fourth Elder.” Yang Chen said slowly.

“You have a point. But they have only captured the Fourth Elder so far and made no other moves, which doesn’t make sense.” Yang Jinhe said, puzzled.

Yang Chen smirked, “If I were in their shoes, I would choose the same course of action. It’s because they want to put pressure on the nerves of our Yang Family. When our family is terrified and panicking, they would strike, and more people would agree with the idea of handing me over.”

This move played upon people’s hearts.

Indeed, the Yang Family is currently as solid as a rock, united as one.

But if someone dies today and someone else dies tomorrow, with the ultimate cause being Yang Chen, when the Bandit Gang demands the Yang Family to hand over Yang Chen, will the Yang Family still choose not to comply? Will Yang Jinhe refuse? How about the other senior members of the clan?

There’s no lack of weak-willed people everywhere.

“If this is true, those bandits are just too hateful!” Second Master Yang said through gritted teeth.

Yang Chen stroked his chin, “Actually, I think we don’t need to focus on who took action, but consider it from a different perspective.”

Yang Jinhe now held Yang Chen’s opinions in high regard, knowing that his mind was not comparable to ordinary youths. Since the Liao City incident, he took his suggestions seriously, especially now that Yang Chen had reached the Spiritual Martial Realm.

“Yang Chen, what do you have in mind?” Yang Jinhe asked.

Second Master Yang was also curious.

Yang Chen said, “I might be rash in saying this, but I think it’s not necessarily an issue without merit. Clan Leader, Second Master, think about it. Fourth Elder was usually in charge of guarding Wuji Pavilion, and he rarely leaves the

Yang Family. How could the Bandit Gang precisely calculate where Fourth

Elder was going and act at the most accurate time when he left the Yang Family?”

“This…”

Hearing this, Yang Jinhe suddenly pondered, “Could it be that the Bandit Gang has been hiding in the dark, and as soon as anyone goes out, they take action?”

“If that were the case, there would be more than one captured person, not just the Fourth Elder. They want to capture the high-level members of the Yang

Family, or those who can pose a threat to me. But in reality, how did the Bandit Gang know about my good relationship with Fourth Elder? How did they know when he would go out?” Yang Chen asked several questions in a row.

If Yang Jinhe still couldn’t figure out what was going on, then he would have been a Clan Leader in vain.

At this moment, he said solemnly, “Are you suggesting that there is a traitor from the Bandit Gang within our Yang Family?”

“I think it’s very likely.” Yang Chen said slowly.

Second Master Yang and Yang Jinhe couldn’t help but gasp.

“Yang Chen, who do you think it might be?” Yang Jinhe asked.

Yang Chen didn’t rush to speak.

He couldn’t be careless about this kind of thing.

In fact, he had long suspected that there was a mole in the Yang Family, but since there was no proof, he had no way of voicing it out.

But now, it’s not the time for him to consider these matters. Whether it’s his identity or his martial arts strength, he’s not afraid to bear the consequences of suspecting someone to be a traitor.

With that in mind, Yang Chen asked, “Before leaving the Yang Family, did

Fourth Elder meet anyone?”

Second Master Yang stroked his chin, “According to my investigation, the last person Fourth Brother met before leaving the Yang Family was Yang Heng!” “Yang Heng?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.

Yang Heng, Yang Wu’s younger brother, was also the person who initially held a grudge against him. However, as his martial arts prowess grew and his position in the Yang Family rose, Yang Heng became much more low-key.

Had it not been for Yang Wu’s reminder, Yang Chen might have thought that

Yang Heng would stop provoking him. But since Yang Wu warned him, Yang Chen has been on guard against Yang Heng. Now it seems that Yang Heng is indeed not as peaceful as Yang Wu said.

Of course, Second Master Yang’s words alone didn’t prove anything. Yang Chen had his own plan.

“Could this matter be related to Yang Heng?” Second Master Yang couldn’t help but say.

“It’s hard to say for now, but I have a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.” Yang Chen smiled.

“What plan?” Yang Jinhe and Second Master Yang both looked astonished.

“Since the Bandit Gang wants to capture people who pose a threat to me, let’s play along.” Yang Chen laughed.

He had taught Jin Cheng a lesson using this same move before, but he didn’t expect to use it so soon on himself.

Yang Jinhe and Second Master Yang immediately understood Yang Chen’s words..
