The Heavenly Silken Thread not only blocked the attack but also generated a repulsive force that shattered the ninjas' swords.
Everyone was stunned.
"Invincible! What kind of martial art is this!"
Su Yang quickly kicked away the ninja in front of him and said with a serious expression, "The pinnacle of Dragon Country's external martial arts, the Diamond Indestructible Divine Skill."
"Diamond Indestructible Divine Skill?"
The ninjas shrieked and retreated, only to be met by Jiang Hei's palm strikes from behind.
*Bang bang bang!*
Jiang Hei proceeded to beat them soundly, and all the ninjas from the Tsurugi school fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
Su Yang stepped on the leader's head, "Speak, who sent you?"
"I'll speak! Our leader, Hedachuan Ban, of the Assassination Hall, ordered us to retrieve the token."
Su Yang pulled a bronze token from his pocket.
The people from Sang Country's eyes lit up!
"It's this token."
"Tell us more?"
Su Yang was also curious, what was so special about a mere token.
The man hesitated, "I can't say, the leader will kill me."
Jiang Hei's eyes widened, and he grabbed the man with one hand, lifting him up. "If you don't speak, I'll kill you right now!"
"I'll speak. Besides mobilizing the samurai hidden in Songhai, this token is also related to an overseas treasure cave."
"Be specific!"
Jiang Hei slapped him again. These Sang Country ninjas were stubborn and needed more persuasion to be honest.
"Five hundred kilometers off the coast of Songhai, there's an island called Fangji Island. There, our people are guarding many Dragon Country artifacts and treasures, including the dragon heads of the twelve zodiac animals."
Su Yang's brows furrowed. No wonder Dragon Country hadn't found the dragon heads all these years.
Only one of the twelve zodiac animals was missing, and these scoundrels had hidden it.
"That's not right. If you obtained them in Dragon Country, why would you keep them on an island instead of transporting them back to Sang Country?"
"We wanted to transport them back, but your Dragon Country's Commander of the National Defense Army, Shi Wuzun, has recently increased patrols in various sea areas, so we didn't dare to move them."
Su Yang suddenly understood. No wonder Shi Wuzun had traveled all the way from the capital to Songhai.
It turned out he was leading people to search for the dragon heads, and he had likely pinpointed their general location.
Su Yang remembered that the supreme leader in the capital had once issued a sky-high reward.
Whoever returned the dragon heads would receive one hundred billion, and could also choose to join one of Dragon Country's eight major departments.
The National Defense Army, the Security Bureau, the Logistics Bureau, the Construction Bureau, and so on.
One hundred billion was a small sum that Su Yang didn't care about; who didn't have money?
But those organizations were different.
Dragon Country's eight major departments, known as the Eight Heavenly Dragons, were the true centers of power.
Assassination Hall, treasure cave... and Liu Tianxing.
Su Yang connected these pieces, "What is your relationship with Liu Tianxing?"
"We help him eliminate his rivals, and he helps us smuggle treasures back into Dragon Country."
"Heh, the Liu family, instead of being good people, have become traitors?"
If he hadn't encountered the Sang Country ninjas today, the dragon heads would have been difficult to recover.
"How many of your Sang Country people are on Fangji Island, and are there any traps or ambushes?"
"About seventy to eighty people. Since the place is remote, no traps have been set."
Su Yang nodded and gestured for Jiang Hei to act.
"No, didn't you say you wouldn't kill me after I confessed?"
"I said I wouldn't kill you, but that doesn't include my subordinates."
Jiang Hei grinned and knocked out all the ninjas.
"Brother Yang, what should we do with these people?"
"Killing is against the law. Let the professionals handle it."
Su Yang dialed Zong Ze's number, asking him to come and clean up the mess, and also to discuss the treasure cave on Fangji Island.
Su Anguo and Zhang Ning were still shaken. "Son, we have to thank Director Li for his quick thinking this time. Otherwise, those scoundrels would have surely killed us."
Li Yingda rubbed his swollen face, "Uncle and Aunt, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
"Fatty, let's have a good talk later. I'll remember today's events."
Su Yang patted Li Yingda, finding the胖子 (fatty) quite sincere.
Around noon, the sun shone brightly.
Zong Ze arrived at Wanbao Zhai with his subordinates in a hurry.
At first glance, he saw a pile of unconscious ninjas lying on the ground.
"Young brother, are you injured?"
"I'm fine. Hei fought ten of them, they couldn't hurt me."
Su Yang had changed into new clothes. The Heavenly Silken Thread, a defensive item, shouldn't be known to too many people.
Zong Ze ordered his men to take away the Sang Country ninjas and stood there, lost in thought.
Su Yang knew what he wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to say it directly.
"Let's talk."
The two walked to the side, and Su Yang said, "The dragon head is on Fangji Island, but there are many Sang Country ninjas guarding it."
Zong Ze's expression changed slightly.
"If that's true, then Teacher will be very happy. He's been searching for five years, and his hair has turned white."
"You can take your men to retrieve the dragon head now. Five hundred kilometers is not far."
"Brother Su, don't worry, not a single one of those scoundrels will escape. Also, I will report this truthfully to the capital, and the reward will still be yours."
Zong Ze patted his chest, guaranteeing that he would not take credit for Su Yang's achievements.
"I trust you. Let's leave it at that for now!"
Seeing that Su Yang had other things to do, Zong Ze didn't linger and prepared to lead his men to attack Fangji Island and retrieve the dragon head and other cultural relics.
"Mom and Dad, you should go back too. Songhai is a bit chaotic recently."
Su Anguo and Zhang Ning gave a few instructions and drove back to Yunshui No. 1.
...
Su Yang did not return to the villa but drove his Koenigsegg to a high-end jewelry store.
Outside the store, Jiang Hei pulled Su Yang, pleading, "Brother Yang, there's really no need to spend this money."
"Let go!"
"You have to remember, your sister is also my sister. Her birthday is tomorrow, what's wrong with me buying a small gift?"
Su Yang had just received a message from Zhou Chengcheng, asking if he wanted to organize a birthday party for Jiang Wanying tomorrow.
Therefore, Su Yang was thinking of preparing a gift for Jiang Wanying.
Jiang Hei looked distressed, as if he was paying for it himself.
"Alright."
Su Yang approached the counter and focused on selecting a jade bracelet.
Just then, a foreign woman walked in, with long black hair and blue eyes.
She was over 1.7 meters tall, and with her ten-centimeter high heels, she was just shoulder-to-shoulder with Su Yang.
"I'll take this jade bracelet."
Su Yang narrowed his eyes. This woman was competing with him for jewelry as soon as she arrived.
"Miss, there's a first-come, first-served rule. What do you mean by this?"
It wasn't that Su Yang was petty, but this woman was clearly targeting him.
The woman pouted disdainfully, "Men from your Dragon Country truly lack manners. Don't you know the principle of ladies first?"
"Sorry, I'm not a gentleman!"
Su Yang placed the jade bracelet into a gift box. "Miss, how much is this?"
"Mr. Su, this is imported jade from Nanyang, it costs one million."
The saleswoman looked at Su Yang excitedly. He was a famously wealthy and generous patron in Songhai.
He never haggled and always bought a lot.
"One million one hundred thousand, I'll take it."
The woman crossed her arms and looked at Su Yang with contempt.
A naked provocation.
Su Yang dropped his smile. "One million five hundred thousand."
