Ye Yan and Zhou Yaoxia were teleported to the chamber where Xie Wei and Zhou Yaoxia were. As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw what Xie Wei was about to do and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Reason?" Xie Wei did not put the gun away, his voice was indifferent, as if he was a little displeased at being disturbed.

"Hey, can you speak properly? Say two words instead of putting on that sour face and acting all high and mighty," Zhou Yaoxia, who was standing next to Xie Wei, heard the displeasure in his voice and spoke up to defend Ye Yan.

"What kind of attitude is this? This person is a heinous evil cultivator. We are doing this to rid the people of a scourge. Instead, you are the ones who speak up to stop us. You should think about your own position. Are you perhaps an accomplice of this evil cultivator?" Hearing Xie Wei say this, Lin Qingying did not let it go.

"You..." Zhou Yaoxia wanted to say something more, but Ye Yan stopped her.

"I'm sorry, Yaoxia was just a little agitated and meant no harm," Ye Yan continued. "Brother Xie, Miss Lin, I didn't expect you to be here too. This person is a key target of our investigation, and we need to investigate some things."

Ye Yan's explanation was somewhat cryptic, and his words did seem to rely on the authority of the government to intimidate people.

Given Xie Wei's status, he naturally wouldn't be intimidated by the word "official." "I can hand him over to you, but I need your superiors to help me with two things."

"The first thing is for me to send you a copy of the results of your investigation into him."

"This involves top-secret information. What do you want to do?" Zhou Yaoxia asked.

"Anyway, I won't do anything immoral. You should know that with my status, this information will be in my hands sooner or later if I want it." Xie Wei's voice was calm, as if he were negotiating something ordinary.

"I'm asking you to send me this message so that I can give you an opportunity to cooperate with me. Do you understand that?"

He didn't mind being assertive if the other party used the government to pressure him.

“Okay, we agree to this.” Ye Yan squeezed Zhou Yaoxia’s hand, signaling her to calm down.

Sensing Ye Yan's action, she agreed and didn't say anything.

"Sure. The second thing is that I need you to investigate everything about this stone wall. Just let me know if you have any information."

"If you can do these two things, everything will be fine."

Ye Yan carefully examined the contents of the stone wall. He had agreed to Xie Wei's request, and the second matter was within his authority and would not be difficult to accomplish.

"You've reached the late stage of the Breaking Mortal Realm?" Ye Yan had just advanced to the Breaking Mortal Realm and couldn't control his aura well, so Xie Wei could naturally sense it.

Ye Yan bowed, his humility quite evident: "Just lucky."

Seeing that the other party said so, Xie Wei simply nodded and put the Asura Purgatory Spear back into the system space.

"We apologize for any offense, Miss Zhou. We'll take our leave now," Xie Wei said, pulling Lin Qingying away from the chamber.

Following the direction indicated by the Heartless Immortal, Xie Wei noticed Lin Qingying's awkward expression and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Ask me anything, don't hold it in."

Lin Qingying knew she had been too obvious; she could never hide anything from him: "Third Brother, you believed Ye Yan when he said he was someone from above? Isn't he from Longteng Group?"

Do you know who Zhou Yaoxia, who is standing next to him, is?

Lin Qingying shook her head.

"She's the granddaughter of the current second-in-command of the Dragon Kingdom's military region. I can't think of any reason to doubt Ye Yan's identity if someone like that would protect him."

Lin Qingying understood.

Xie Wei's words were incomplete. He already knew Ye Yan's identity from Xie Lan, but it was inconvenient to tell Lin Qingying about it, so he had to find another way to say it.

However, this identity was merely to give Xie Wei better leverage in negotiations. He believed the other party should be aware of the Xie family's capabilities, and that Xie Wei's words were definitely not just empty talk.

Given Ye Yan's destiny, he must have had some extraordinary encounters, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to advance to the late stage of the Breaking Mortal Realm so quickly.

Seeing how quickly Ye Yan's cultivation level had improved, he had guessed that this farce was about to reach its climax, and he needed to have the ability to stop Ye Yan before that happened.

However, he was not worried about this. Absorbing the spiritual power left in his dantian by the Heartless Immortal would be enough for Xie Wei to reach the Immortal realm.

But this will take time, and Xie Wei needs to know how far Ye Yan is progressing.

The other condition he mentioned was merely a way to save face for the two of them. As for the second matter, very little was known about it, and it was unlikely that any investigation would yield any results. He hadn't held out much hope from the start.

After all, he bore the consequences of this karma, so he should know about it once it happens.

Inside the cave, Ye Yan observed the man with the snake tattoo and noticed that his spiritual power had been temporarily boosted, with a portion of his spiritual energy reaching the realm of entry. He thought of the pill the bald man had taken.

He asked Zhou Yaoxia to contact the members of the Demon-Slaying Team to see if any of the evil cultivators they encountered had this situation.

The three members of the Underworld also encountered a wicked cultivator at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. After consuming a pill, his cultivation even reached the half-step into the Mortal Realm, and they were caught in a fierce battle.

Fortunately, the captain of the other team appeared in time, and the team worked together to take him down.

The evil cultivators Han Lie and his companion encountered also possessed this elixir. Fortunately, their cultivation levels were not high, and they successfully reunited with members of another team, so they did not suffer any major losses.

Another piece of news is that the evil cultivators who were waiting outside were also quietly dealt with by members of another team.

Based on their descriptions, this organization may no longer need living people for experiments. They possess a small device to collect spiritual energy from human bodies, a method that is particularly cruel.
