Ye Xuan had come to Black Chaotic Corner for two reasons. First, to investigate the siblings' case, and second, to see if the mastermind behind this was related to the Yin Yang Ancestor.
The Heavenly Thunder Hall had many disciples training here. They had also sent many new disciples to investigate, all for the reward of a hundred thousand Inner Demon Pills.
Thus, this mission was practically an independent investigation, with very few clues being shared with others.
Ye Xuan did not need any clues, as it was more convenient for him to investigate on his own.
The Underworld's branches were spread throughout the world. However, one would not be able to find this branch without some connections.
There were countless vicious people in Black Chaotic Corner. Their killing auras were not weak at all, making it very difficult to distinguish who was an assassin.
That black-clothed assassin from before was not from Black Chaotic Corner, and he did not know where the Black Chaotic Corner branch was located.
However, one should not forget that Ye Xuan had the Eye of Control.
"Ding! Control successful!"
Ye Xuan entered the city. With a casual glare, he controlled a passerby at the second level of the Netherpassage Realm.
"Master!"
This unlucky fellow, who was controlled by Ye Xuan, respectfully greeted him.
"Do you know where the Underworld branch of Black Chaotic Corner is located?" Ye Xuan asked.
"I don't know, but I know someone who should be able to lead you there!"
This unlucky passerby shook his head.
"Alright, lead the way!"
Ye Xuan answered.
Then, this unlucky passerby led Ye Xuan in search of someone. Along the way, Ye Xuan found out that the person he was looking for was a fourth level Netherpassage Realm Law Enforcer of the Phantom Gang.
Very quickly, Ye Xuan arrived in front of a manor.
"Alright, you can go."
Ye Xuan said to this unlucky passerby.
There were many servants in the manor, some of whom were at the first, second, and third levels of the Netherpassage Realm. However, the strongest was at the fourth level.
In Black Chaotic Corner, Ye Xuan did not dare to directly knock on the door. Thus, he could only pay a visit.
"Sir, is something the matter?"
When Ye Xuan approached, a first level Netherpassage Realm martial practitioner guarding the door asked.
"I have some matters to discuss with Law Enforcer Yao. Please inform him." Ye Xuan went straight to the point.
"Protector Yao is currently resting and is not receiving guests!"
He knew that Protector Yao had been injured in a battle some time ago and was currently recuperating.
Although he felt that Ye Xuan had a strong background, he would be in trouble if Protector Yao was angered by his sudden interruption.
"That's not up to you!"
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered as he took control of him.
"Master, please!"
After being controlled, this martial artist's hostility instantly dissipated, and he respectfully led Ye Xuan into the Yao Manor.
Shortly after, this cultivator led Ye Xuan to Protector Yao.
"Zhou Huarong, who is this?"
A tall and sturdy man suddenly blocked Ye Xuan's way.
"They're only at the third level of the Netherpassage Realm, but these people from the Phantom Gang specialize in soul attacks and defense. My Eye of Control might not succeed immediately. Once it fails, I might end up provoking the entire Phantom Gang …"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan decided to give up and said, "I want to ask Protector Yao about the location of the Underworld's branch."
"I see. I know. Give me a thousand Inner Demon Pills, and I'll tell you," the tall and sturdy man said.
"Alright!"
Ye Xuan didn't say anything else. He directly took out a thousand Inner Demon Pills and tossed it over.
"Straightforward. The Underworld's branch of the Black Chaotic Corner is under the Drunken Poplar Restaurant. Enter the secret code, kill!"
The tall and sturdy man said.
"Secret code, kill?"
Ye Xuan muttered in his heart. He immediately turned around and left. He thought to himself, Isn't it too easy to earn money? A thousand Inner Demon Pills with just one sentence.
However, the things he obtained from the two controllers alone were worth more than a thousand Inner Demon Pills. It didn't matter.
"Zhou Huarong, come find me after you send this friend away," the tall and sturdy man shouted.
"Yes!"
The martial artist called Zhou Huarong nodded.
Ye Xuan left Protector Yao's residence and headed straight for the Drunken Poplar Restaurant.
After Zhou Huarong sent Ye Xuan away, she turned around and went to find the tall and sturdy man.
"Protector Yao ordered that no one is to be brought in. You dare to disobey the order? Are you a traitor?"
When the burly man saw Zhou Huarong, he took a big stride forward and grabbed Zhou Huarong's throat.
"No, no …"
Zhou Huarong opened her mouth with difficulty. Her face was filled with horror.
"Protector Yao was seriously injured by a sneak attack a few days ago. I suspected that there was a traitor in the residence. You brought people in this time. Could it be that you want to attack Protector Yao again?" The tall and sturdy man clenched his fists and opened his eyes wide. He looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"No … there is …"
Zhou Huarong still shook her head.
"I'll give you three seconds. Tell me who your accomplice is. Otherwise, die!" The tall and sturdy man ignored her answer and shouted angrily.
"I … didn't …"
"Rip!"
A crisp sound was heard. A head was thrown up and blood splattered on the wall.
The burly man killed Zhou Huarong with a single chop of his hand. He showed no mercy at all.
"Even if you don't say it, I can find out!"
The tall and sturdy man snorted.
Just after Zhou Huarong's death, a door behind the burly man opened, and a slightly weak old man walked out from inside.
"Protector Yao!"
The tall and sturdy man hurriedly greeted him.
"The traitor finally couldn't sit still. Unfortunately, he's a tough man." Protector Yao said as he walked over and picked up Zhou Huarong's interspatial ring.
He guessed that there might be some clues in this interspatial ring. He wanted to know who wanted to kill him.
After checking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly. "There's no clue. Did you send someone to follow that kid?"
"Yes!" The tall and sturdy man nodded.
"Very good. Report to me as soon as you find a clue."
Protector Yao nodded and turned around to return to his room to continue healing his injuries. However, the moment he turned around, there was the sound of wind.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The tall and sturdy man suddenly attacked. With a chop, he directly stabbed Protector Yao's left chest.
"Puff!"
The large hand sank into Protector Yao's body and touched his beating heart.
"You …"
Protector Yao's eyes widened. However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a "puchi" sound. His heart had been crushed.
He did not expect that he would be killed by the person he trusted the most. One had to know that he was the one who raised the tall and sturdy man. Although they were not related by blood, he was equivalent to a father.
He did not expect that the tall and sturdy man was actually the traitor. Just now, it was just a show to make him reveal a flaw.
"I'm sorry, Protector Yao. Your head is worth thirty thousand Inner Demon Pills. With these, I can break through to the fourth level of the Netherpassage Realm!"
The tall and sturdy man grinned and hurriedly put away Protector Yao and Zhou Huarong's bodies. Then, he cleaned up the scene.
Protector Yao's death could be completely pushed to the young man just now.
This young man was Ye Xuan!
