The power of the dragon elephant erupted with a single punch.
An hour after Chen Chu sent a request to thoroughly investigate the Shan Shu family to the local military, Bai Chuan Sakura unexpectedly showed up and revealed her identity.
"Special Operations Department personnel."
Looking at the beautiful woman in a white business suit, who had a katana at her waist and appeared neat and stylish, a look of surprise appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.
Bai Chuan Sakura slightly bowed, "That's right, I joined the Special Operations Department after graduation and am a member of the Eastern Capital's Dark Curtain Investigation Team, specifically responsible for matters related to the Cultists of the Evil God."
"However, my identity is confidential; on the surface, I am just a martial arts academy staff member."
At this time, besides the two of them, there were also Yan Ruoyi, Li Daoyi, and Xu Xiaoqi in the living room.
The three were somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Chu to have made such discoveries right after arriving in Eastern Capital.
"After receiving Mr. Chu's request, I specifically gathered manpower to thoroughly investigate the Shan Shu family matters, but..." As she spoke, a look of confusion appeared in Bai Chuan Sakura's eyes.
Chen Chu raised an eyebrow, "Did you find nothing?"
Bai Chuan Sakura nodded, "Correct, there is no sign of abnormalities in the Shan Shu family."
"The Shan Shu family has been the shrine priests of the Great Heavenly Demon God for generations, continuing for hundreds of years. It is said that members of the Shan Shu family possess the bloodline of the Great Heavenly Demon God."
"Of course, these are all rumors that no one believes, but since the recent changes in the world, every generation of heirs from the Shan Shu family has shown cultivation talent."
"The current head of the Shan Shu family, Shan Shu Long You, is a master in the late stage of the sixth level of heaven, with strength even slightly surpassing my father."
"Moreover, after hundreds of years of operation, the Shan Shu family holds great prestige in Eastern Capital."
"When I mobilized military forces for the investigation earlier, I found the Shan Shu family to be very 'clean'; there has been no sign of abnormalities among family members for over a decade."
"So clean?" Chen Chu frowned slightly. Could it be that his sensing was wrong?
At this moment, Li Daoyi slowly spoke, "Clean doesn't mean there are no issues."
"At Brother Chu's current realm, especially since he has practiced sensing techniques, such a clear feeling of something being wrong is almost never mistaken."
"It's just that this family is very deeply hidden, so conventional means can't uncover it."
"Are you suggesting using unconventional methods?" As she spoke, Bai Chuan Sakura looked at Yan Ruoyi, who was smiling on the sofa, hesitating for a moment.
Yan Ruoyi chuckled, "Miss Sakura, if you have something to say, just say it. We're all on the same side."
Bai Chuan Sakura hesitated again, "Today is the annual Ghost King Festival in Eastern Capital, and the celebrations are taking place not far from the Great Heavenly Demon God Shrine."
"Now that we all know Miss Yan's identity has already been 'exposed', if the Shan Shu family really has issues and Miss Yan takes the initiative to approach them..."
She paused here.
"Taking the initiative to lure them into action?" Yan Ruoyi's eyes lit up. "That's a good proposal. I prefer to take the initiative over waiting passively."
"Besides, we can also enjoy the Ghost King Festival. I've heard it’s quite lively in Eastern Summer."
Seeing this, Li Daoyi and Chen Chu exchanged glances. After some thought, they did not speak out to dissuade her.
The highest practitioner of this family is only in the late stage of the sixth level of heaven; for them, it is no match. This is also a good opportunity to determine whether Chen Chu's sensing was indeed wrong.
As for notifying the military to directly send forces to suppress, it was unnecessary.
One reason is that the other party is very 'clean', and the other is that a family with such 'little' strength does not need to mobilize a large force; it would be awkward if they were mistaken.
