Chapter 1973 - 1977: Important Intelligence

Qin Tian knew that among the Soul Suppressing Hall people, they would signal each other when they encountered danger.

When Zeng Mingli turned to escape, one of the guards intended to send out a signal.

However, Qin Tian’s speed was unimaginably fast. Before the guy could send out the signal, Qin Tian had already pierced him with a sword!

Without lingering in the fight, seeing Zeng Mingli continuously leaping out of the alley, Qin Tian moved even faster. In just the blink of an eye, Qin Tian intercepted Zeng Mingli on a street.

Zeng Mingli stopped, panting, his eyes fixed on Qin Tian wearing a dragon-head mask, and exclaimed, "It’s you!?"

Qin Tian slowly approached Zeng Mingli and said, "You know me?"

"Heh, heh, your deeds have spread throughout the Imperial City in the past few days, Iron-faced Dragon King!"

Zeng Mingli watched Qin Tian approach and slowly retreated. After speaking, he attempted to turn and flee again, but Qin Tian blocked his path from another direction!

Fast! Too fast!

"Do you think you can escape from under my hands?"

Qin Tian was close to Zeng Mingli, only two steps away, a pressure descended, making Zeng Mingli realize in his heart that his early stage Great Immortal Realm cultivation was probably no match for this Iron-faced Dragon King before him.

"You are a Dragon Clan spy, and I am of the Soul Suppressing Hall. Hmph, Iron-faced Dragon King, I don’t know what you want to do targeting me. Do you think the Forbidden Army hasn’t killed enough of your people and you want to offend our Soul Suppressing Hall too?"

Zeng Mingli stared coldly at Qin Tian.

"What if I just want to kill you, do you have a problem?" Qin Tian retorted.

"Heh, what’s the use of killing me?"

Zeng Mingli, deeply cunning, said, "If you just wanted to kill me, you would have done so earlier. Indeed, your strength is above mine, I admit it. But you haven’t killed me... doesn’t that mean you have some purpose in looking for me?"

"You’re not stupid. Come with me!"

Qin Tian took two steps forward and grabbed Zeng Mingli.

Zeng Mingli seemed to know that resistance was futile, so he chose not to resist.

Qin Tian brought Zeng Mingli to a secluded place.

Zeng Mingli said, "There’s no need to be so cautious. When I, Zeng Mingli, do things, one matter is one matter. If you were Long Yin, perhaps I wouldn’t say a word to you; if it wasn’t you dead, it would be me, that’s my duty. But you are a Dragon Clan spy, and that doesn’t concern our Soul Suppressing Hall."

"Therefore, Iron-faced Dragon King, dealing with you is the Forbidden Army’s matter. What demands do you have in looking for me now? Just say it, I’ll try my best to cooperate."

Zeng Mingli was remarkably calm, unabashedly continuing, "Put it this way, your strength in the Imperial City is already considered top-notch. Of course, you’re still far from being on par with the titans of Wang Chao. But that doesn’t prevent opportunities for cooperation between us."

Qin Tian was taken aback by Zeng Mingli’s words, then sneered, "You actually want to cooperate with me?"

"Yes, our duty is to eliminate Long Yin, and you Dragon Clan spies must have intricate connections with Long Yin, right? We can cooperate. You help me eliminate Long Yin, and in return, I ensure your safety. Additionally, if you need some intelligence, I can provide it to you, how about that?"

Zeng Mingli’s words completely overturned Qin Tian’s worldview.

This guy is utterly selfish to the extreme, someone who would destroy the world for personal gain.

Such a person is extremely dangerous.

"We can discuss cooperation later, but now you need to tell me about another matter."

Qin Tian redirected the conversation back to the main topic, "You’ve captured a batch of Long Yin, haven’t you?"

"Heh, you’re still interested in Long Yin?" Zeng Mingli asked back, watching Qin Tian like a cunning fox, seemingly trying to guess Qin Tian’s intentions.

"Just tell me yes or no. If you lie, I’ll cripple your Dan Tian Qi Sea first! Make you wish for life, unable to wish for death!" Qin Tian threatened.

"You can do it, but you won’t. Tell me what you want to know. Since I’m in your hands, I hope to leave alive."

"As long as you’re honest, I’ll let you live."

"Fine, the Iron-faced Dragon King keeps his word, I believe you. Indeed, we captured a batch of Long Yin recently."

Zeng Mingli said.

"Do you have a list?" Qin Tian asked tentatively, wanting to know if this cunning Zeng Mingli would lie to him.

"Yes, who do you want to know about?"

"Give me the list."

Zeng Mingli looked at Qin Tian, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately took the list out of his storage bag and handed it to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian glanced at the list, and the names matched exactly with those on the list given by Gongsun Sanniang, without any deviation.

It seems Zeng Mingli indeed didn’t lie.

"Have these people all been killed?"

Qin Tian asked.

Zeng Mingli said, "Some have already been killed, some are still alive, but for those still alive, death isn’t far away. Honestly, you should know our Soul Suppressing Hall never shows mercy towards Long Yin."

"What information have you extracted from these Long Yin?" Qin Tian continued to ask.

"There’s a lot... Dragon King, what do you want to know? If I tell you everything, it’ll take until noon."

"Then just tell me the important parts. Did they reveal a new batch of Long Yin people?"

"Of course, our Soul Capturing Technique can easily make even those who’d rather die speak the truth... Once they’re under our control, none remain silent. From what I know, we identified another three Long Yin experts’ identities, and we are currently capturing them."

Zeng Mingli spoke candidly, "Since you intercepted me here, you should know I just came from Ming Yue Building, eager to get back to work. Today, we’re going to capture the last person. The previous two heard and fled, but this last one, we found traces, he can’t escape."

"Just these three, no other Long Yin?" Qin Tian asked.

"I interrogated two prisoners, and they revealed their superiors, just three people. The other prisoners were interrogated by our Hall Master and vice Hall Master, in cooperation with Headquarters. What they extracted wasn’t told to me but directly reported to Headquarters, reported to the Ice Emperor."

Zeng Mingli’s words left Qin Tian slightly chilled inside. He still couldn’t be sure if he was exposed.

It seems he can only find Xu Junwei to ask personally.

"Is this person still alive?"

Qin Tian pointed at Xu Junwei and asked Zeng Mingli.

"Xu Junwei... he’s a Long Yin leader, still alive." Zeng Mingli looked at Xu Junwei’s name, thought for a moment, and said.
