"I know! There's nothing between you and Ye Fan; it's all innocent, and I absolutely trust you!" Ji Yuchen quickly interrupted Ji Ningxuan, grabbing her wrist and saying, "Ningxuan, you're the childhood sweetheart I grew up with. I can't trust anyone else by my side now, only you, so go ahead with peace of mind!"
Ji Yuchen looked at Ji Ningxuan with a devilish charm, but inwardly he muttered, I actually wish there was sothing between you and Ye Fan, otherwise, when the ti cos, my plan won't be executable!
Ji Ningxuan felt a bit creeped out being stared at by Ji Yuchen like this.
Could the Emperor have noticed sothing?
But that day, she had simply kissed Ye Fan on the lips; could there be sothing detectable from that?
Was it the private photos she later took for Ye Fan that gave them away?
But she had already told Ye Fan to delete them after viewing!
"Here is my token; act accordingly when the ti cos! Elder Hou of the Vermilion Bird Domain is one of our n, and you can consult with him if there's any issue!" Ji Yuchen patted Ji Ningxuan on the shoulder, "We need to set off imdiately, there's no ti to delay this matter!"
…
In Tianji Pavilion's base at Guangcheng!
Wu Shihao, who was locked up in the underground chamber, had been tortured beyond recognition at this point.
All mbers of Tianji Pavilion knew that Wu Shihao was the Pavilion Master's enemy, so they showed no courtesy after detaining him here.
They had pulled out all his teeth, subjected him to the tiger bench, shined intense lights on him... virtually all forms of punishnt had been ted out to him!
"You... just wait, once Laotzu is out, I will not let you go..." Wu Shihao, without any teeth, slurred his speech, but he still talked tough in front of the Tianji Pavilion mbers.
The mbers of Tianji Pavilion were well aware that Young Master Ye would show no rcy to the enemies who killed his brothers; how could Wu Shihao possibly have a chance to get out?
A few mbers of Tianji Pavilion were preparing to lay hands on Wu Shihao again when a series of footsteps ca from the doorway!
Ye Fan and Yu Qiang, Guo Li, and others appeared abruptly.
"Pavilion Master, Minister Yu!" The group of Tianji Pavilion mbers inside bowed respectfully to the two n.
Ye Fan gestured for the few mbers of Tianji Pavilion to leave and turned his head to look at Wu Shihao!
Thump!
The mbers of the Tianji Pavilion hadn't even left the room when Wu Shihao imdiately knelt down to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, spare my life, I was wrong, I know my mistake... I beg Young Master Ye not to kill ..."
As Wu Shihao spoke, he kept kowtowing ceaselessly.
The Tianji Pavilion mbers looked at him with contempt; damn, weren't you talking big just now? How co you beco so cowardly as soon as you see Young Master Ye?
In fact, it wasn't that Wu Shihao didn't want to be defiant.
The key was that after seeing what Ye Fan was capable of, Wu Shihao couldn't be tough at all!
Wu Shihao had an intuition that Pan Shi's personal visit to Guangcheng this ti, intending to take over Tiankui Base, would fail miserably! And Wu Shihao also knew that besides taking over Tiankui Base, Pan Shi wanted to mobilize the power of Jin Wang Base and aid to completely seek control over the leadership of the Vermilion Bird Domain.
But now it seed that everything was going to fail!
Therefore, seeing Chen Yao appear behind Ye Fan and knowing that Hou Tianji had abandoned him, Wu Shihao made up his mind.
No more staunch resistance!
First, save his own life!
Ye Fan stared coldly at Wu Shihao without speaking, and Wu Shihao hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, I have Direct Lineage Troops in the Vermilion Bird Domain, including Division Commanders and Chiliarchs who are absolutely loyal to Prince Jin. I will confess everything and won't cause any trouble to the Vermilion Bird Domain in the future. I will also never cause any trouble for Young Master Ye, they are..."
Wu Shihao actively listed a series of nas, and Ye Fan looked at Guo Li by his side, who quickly jotted down the nas with pen and paper.
"Is that everything? Any you've missed?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and spoke to Wu Shihao, who imdiately felt his heart pound violently a few tis, a sense of foreboding flooding over him.
"No, that's it!"
Ye Fan nodded, and Wang Fugui turned on the mobile video and projected it onto the wall.
On the wall, the Vermilion Bird Domain headquarters' camp appeared, showing rows of young n in camouflage kneeling with their hands on their heads. Over a hundred mbers were the ones Wu Shihao had just nad.
Standing in front of those n was Hou Tianji.
"Elder Hou, the list given by Wu Shihao has been sent to you; can you check it and see if it matches?" Ye Fan spoke indifferently, but Wu Shihao next to him was so shocked his eyeballs nearly fell out.
His own direct lineage troops had been captured so quickly?
Clearly, Hou Tianji had taken action beforehand; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so fast!
Did this an that the list he provided was completely aningless?
"Exactly right, not a single one missing, thanks Young Master Ye!"
Hou Tianji had long wanted to clean up the factions within the Vermilion Bird Domain, but he previously lacked the opportunity. Today, Wu Shihao's downfall had given Hou Tianji the perfect excuse and opportunity to make his move with full force.
After hanging up the call, Ye Fan turned to Wu Shihao, "It seems this information isn't enough to save your life!"
Wu Shihao's lips trembled, "I also know... the core mbers involved in the ambush to kill your third brother include Old Mo posing as Shen Nanfei, Head of the Cao Family, and the Han Family..."
Before Wu Shihao could continue, Ye Fan had already played the video segnt given by the Five Poisons Child, "Are these the people you're talking about in the video?"
Seeing those core mbers surrounding and attacking Ye Lingyu all too clearly in the video, Wu Shihao felt as if he had been rickrolled!
Damn it!
Where did Ye Fan get these top-secret pieces of information from?
This ant that even before Ye Fan arrived in Guangcheng, he already knew clearly who had been involved in attacking Ye Lingyu?
Ye Fan's visit to Guangcheng was like playing a Whack-A-Mole ga.
But at that ti, those involved in the operation thought Ye Fan knew nothing...
So foolish!
Ye Fan was playing everyone like monkeys!
"I also know that Prince Jin has established a base in the Southwestern Region. It's located approximately around..." After betraying such significant intelligence twice, and with Ye Fan already knowledgeable, Wu Shihao gritted his teeth and decided to also sell out the location of Prince Jin's base.
Only with significant enough intelligence could he save his own life.
However, Ye Fan was once again calling Chen Yao, "Director, how's the tracking going?"
"We've roughly located them, just fifty kiloters outside the Western Suburbs of Guangcheng, near the Outer Nine Archs Bridge..." The cara switched, and through the video, it was clear to see that mbers of the Town Martial Hall were stealthily following Pan Shi's assistant towards a factory.
"..."
Damn it!
Wu Shihao completely despaired. Was Ye Fan an immortal?
His biggest secret, the location of Prince Jin's base—this top-level confidential information—Ye Fan already knew it. That ant Ye Fan surely planned to take action against Prince Jin's base. Pan Shi and his people were dood.

Unfortunately, although Wu Shihao now knew this information, he couldn't warn Pan Shi and the others!
"Wu Shihao, when you were involved in the murder of my third brother, you should have known this day would co!" Ye Fan said coldly, staring at Wu Shihao and taking out a photo to place on the table, "Repent to my third brother, apologize!"
"Young Master Ye, I'm sorry, it's my fault! I was wrong, please forgive !" At this point, Wu Shihao didn't dare hesitate any longer and respectfully kowtowed to Ye Lingyu's photo in apology.
A mont later, Ye Fan stared intensely at Wu Shihao, "Now it's my turn to ask you! The map of the Immortal Palace on my third brother, how many clues do you guys have now?"
Grandfather had said, the fragnts of the Immortal Palace map that mother left on his seven brothers were critically important and must be gathered as soon as possible, not falling into enemy hands!
"I... I don't know. So far, none of our people have any clues..." Wu Shihao's bitterness surged; so Ye Fan also knew about the existence of the Immortal Palace map?
But the key piece of information that Ye Fan wanted, he had no knowledge of!
After Ye Lingyu's death, nearly a month had passed, and everyone on Prince Jin's side had been searching every contact Ye Lingyu had before his death, but still, no clue was found.
"If you don't know about this, then there's nothing to talk about!"
Splat!
As Wang Fugui by Ye Fan's side uttered these words, his hand thrust a dagger directly into Wu Shihao's chest...
