"Why keep him?" Ji Ruyue was stunned and looked at Ye Kunlun in confusion.
Sui Yan's heart pounded, he felt Ye Kunlun knew something and quickly said, "Ye Kunlun, if you have anything else to say, just say it clearly, don't beat around the bush!"
Ye Kunlun's gaze turned cold, he looked at Ji Ruyue playfully and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to stay?"
Ji Ruyue didn't know what Ye Kunlun was up to, but there was a dangerous look in his eyes.
Ji Ruyue glanced at Sui Yan and apologized, "Sui Yan, I'll leave first. Don't worry, Ye Kunlun won't do anything to you!"
After speaking, Ji Ruyue took his leave.
Ye Kunlun let out two cold laughs.
The seven great clans of the capital, so much for being of one heart and soul. They truly scattered when disaster struck.
Although his face was ashen, if Ye Kunlun wanted to do anything to him now, he was completely helpless!
"Ye Kunlun, what exactly do you want?"
Sui Yan, after all, was the head of the Sui family and had seen countless storms.
Although he feared Ye Kunlun, he could still maintain a good degree of composure.
Ye Kunlun's gaze turned cold as he asked, "Sui Yan, three years ago, you took someone to the Eastern Sea War Zone to see Cheng Haijun. Is this true?"
Indeed, upon hearing this, Sui Yan's expression changed slightly, but he did not conceal anything from Ye Kunlun.
"That's right, three years ago, I did take someone to the Eastern Sea War Zone," Sui Yan replied. "I just don't know what this has to do with you?"
"What is your relationship with that person, or what kind of deal do you have between you?"
Ye Kunlun asked coldly.
"I was just entrusted to take him to the Eastern Sea War Zone. I have no relationship with him, and I don't know what he went to the Eastern Sea War Zone for!" Sui Yan replied, not appearing to be lying.
Ye Kunlun took a step forward and directly rolled up Sui Yan's sleeves.
There was no soul mark of the Witch God on them.
"You, what are you doing?" Sui Yan was startled.
Ye Kunlun withdrew his hand, gazed intently at Sui Yan, and said, "I'll believe you for now. I ask you, who entrusted you?"
Sui Yan frowned, seeming hesitant.
Seeing Sui Yan's hesitation, Ye Kunlun snorted, "After that person met Cheng Haijun, Cheng Haijun colluded with the Japanese, selling confidential information of the Hua Xia War Zone. Could it be that your Sui family is also colluding with the Japanese..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Sui Yan shivered. Once the Sui family was deemed to be colluding with the Japanese, it would be a crime punishable by the extermination of the nine generations!
"How could our Sui family collude with the Japanese!"
Sui Yan anxiously explained to Ye Kunlun, "The reason I can't say is because... it involves the identity of the person..."
Ye Kunlun's heart stirred, and he had a guess.
In the capital, the only ones who could make the Sui family fearful, aside from the Royal family, were no one else!
"The Royal family?" Ye Kunlun spoke the answer for Sui Yan.
Although Sui Yan did not want to admit it, at this point, involving the family's reputation, he had no choice but to speak.
"It indeed involves the Royal family," Sui Yan sighed lightly, looking at Ye Kunlun with a complicated expression. "The person who commissioned me back then was the King of the Northern Territory. That's all I know."
Upon hearing the words "King of the Northern Territory," a flicker of contemplation flashed in Ye Kunlun's eyes.
According to the information collected by the Blood Shadow Tower, the King of the Northern Territory resided in the Northern Territory War Zone all year round, but he was not the commander of the Northern Territory War Zone!
The commander of the Northern Territory War Zone was someone else, Wei Cangxiong.
And the King of the Northern Territory had been living in the Northern Territory War Zone all year round because he had made a mistake in the past and was exiled to the Northern Territory, forbidden to return to the capital without an order from the Mountain River Platform.
At the same time, the King of the Northern Territory was the least valued among the twelve Kings!
Ye Kunlun had considered several other powerful kings, but he had never thought it would be the King of the Northern Territory.
As expected, the more inconspicuous the existence, the more surprises it could bring.
"Did that person tell you anything about the King of the Northern Territory?" Ye Kunlun asked.
Sui Yan shook his head, "No. When he found me, he only gave me a letter, and the letter had the King of the Northern Territory's royal seal."
Sui Yan was afraid Ye Kunlun wouldn't believe him, as the consequences were dire.
He quickly emphasized again, "Everything I've said is true. My thoughts back then were very simple. Since the King of the Northern Territory personally intervened, I definitely had to help. Who knew this matter would involve the Japanese."
"Who knows if your Sui family colluded with the Japanese!"
Ye Kunlun retorted indifferently.
Sui Yan became anxious, "Ye Kunlun, you can be hostile towards me, but you must not insult the Sui family!"
"Alright, you can leave now!"
Ye Kunlun waved his hand.
It was impossible for Sui Yan to lie under his gaze without succumbing to his mental pressure.
Hearing Ye Kunlun tell him to leave, Sui Yan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away from Qibao Mountain!
"Young Master, you're just letting Sui Yan go?" Wu Dao knew about the Eastern Sea War Zone incident and didn't believe Sui Yan's words.
"He wasn't lying!" Ye Kunlun replied. "It seems the next step is to head to the Northern Territory and meet the most inconspicuous of the twelve kings, the King of the Northern Territory!"
After speaking, Ye Kunlun patted Wu Dao and showed an apologetic expression to him, Feng Tutu, and Xiao Jiu.
"I'm sorry, I came back too late and couldn't protect Blood Hand."
"Young Master, it's not your fault. Our enemy is the Changsun family."
Feng Tutu gritted her silver teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.
"That's right. From now on, if I see anyone from the Changsun family, I'll kill every single one!" Wu Dao's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse.
"Me too!" Xiao Jiu chimed in.
Ye Kunlun looked at the three before him, not treating them as his subordinates, but as good brothers.
Now that Blood Hand was gone, he felt more sorrow than anyone.
"Don't worry, I, Ye Kunlun, swear that I will use all means to bring Blood Hand back to life!"
Ye Kunlun said solemnly to the three.
The dead cannot be resurrected, yet the three believed Ye Kunlun's words unconditionally!
"Young Master, although Changsun Yuan has been dealt with, he still has ancient sects behind him. We will face a fierce battle next."
Xiao Jiu reminded Ye Kunlun.
"I want to refine a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills. You three should increase your strength as soon as possible!"
Ye Kunlun was not afraid of ancient sects, but he was afraid of his enemies multiplying and putting those around him in danger.
Although not all enemies were at the Spirit Nurturing stage like Changsun Yuan and Daoist Wuji, after the incident with Blood Hand, Ye Kunlun was uneasy.
The best way he could think of was to improve their cultivation!
"Young Master, we are too foolish."
Feng Tutu's voice was choked with emotion.
As Ye Kunlun's subordinates, they should have protected Ye Kunlun at critical moments.
But when the enemy came looking for them, they were routed, and Blood Hand was lost!
"Don't belittle yourselves!" Ye Kunlun patted Feng Tutu's head. "In my eyes, you are the best!"
"Let's go, let's return to the Infinite Prison first. Perhaps in three days, we will have another tough fight!"
Three days was enough for the Sui and Ji families to recall their elders.
When Ye Kunlun went to retrieve the token and the wordless book, there would inevitably be a fierce battle!
