As Ji Fengming pondered, "Am I a pervert?", he and Hei Xiao carried the man in black back to the courtyard where Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and the others had been.

Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengyao, and Shang Xiye remained silent for a long time after hearing the two things that Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming had found out.

"Damn it, those bastards from Black Purgatory dared to set a trap to capture my East Dragon Gate people, I'll skin them alive!" Ji Chenhai suddenly slammed his fist on the table and said.

The already old and flimsy table was nearly smashed to pieces by his blows.

The masked man in black kneeling on the ground jerked back in fright, staring wide-eyed at Ji Chenhai, utterly shocked.

My East Dragon Gate?

My goodness, could this be the leader of the East Dragon Gate?!

What incredible luck he has! He actually ran right into the hands of the East Dragon Gate Master!

Ji Chenhai noticed the masked man in black looking at him, and his eyes widened as well. He said fiercely, "Why are you glaring at me? Want to talk?"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm," the masked man in black nodded repeatedly.

Although I knew my chances of survival were slim, I wondered who would know if I didn't ask?

You should still have dreams, what if they come true?

"We bandits are still reasonable," Ji Chenhai said with a wave of his hand, "Yao'er, search his soul!"

The masked man in black was initially overjoyed, then greatly alarmed:

Soul Search!

He's not even a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he doesn't die after his soul is searched, he'll become an idiot. It's better for him to just die!

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Emmmmmmm……

Under her father's wise leadership, those bandits were indeed good at reasoning!

The masked man in black shook his head frantically, muttering "uh-huh," begging for death.

Ji Fengming slapped him across the face: "What nonsense! When you were hurting people, did you ever think that they were scared and didn't want to die? Now that it's your turn, you're scared and begging for mercy, but it's too late!"

Shang Xiye: "..."

Now I finally understand where Xique's temper came from; it turns out it was taught to her by her father-in-law and brother-in-law since she was little.

After slapping the man, Ji Fengming immediately poked his pressure point with her finger and said, "Sister, come on, let's see what kind of filthy and dark schemes this bastard has in his head, let's turn his brain upside down!"

His words made Ji Fengyao not even want to fight anymore.

It sounds like she's going to clean out the sewers.

Bai Lu covered the man in black's head with a silk handkerchief, and Ji Fengyao then reached out and grasped his crown, beginning to perform the Soul Searching Technique.

According to this person's memory:

This person was merely a low-ranking leader among the Black Purgatory's guards and knew little about the Black Purgatory.

Their mission this time is to lure and capture the assassins in the East Dragon Gate.

As for what exactly they were going to do with them, he wasn't too sure. He had only vaguely heard that it was the higher-ups of the Black Purgatory who were looking for the higher-ups of the Eastern Dragon Gate.

The Soul Searching Technique was ruthless and domineering. Even though Ji Fengyao only did a cursory search, the man in black suffered severe brain damage, his mind became muddled, and he was turned into an idiot.

"So, what have you found?" Ji Chenhai asked.

Ji Fengyao shook her head: "He doesn't hold a high position in the Black Purgatory and doesn't have any particularly useful information. Right now, we can only be sure of one thing: the people in the Black Purgatory have their eyes on the Eastern Dragon Gate, or on our Ji family."

"Black Purgatory might be the sworn enemy of your Ji family," Black Owl stated his previous speculation directly.

Hearing Black Owl's words, Ji Chenhai recalled the words the woman he had saved on her deathbed had spoken to him when she was young:

If possible, she wanted him to never come into contact with the Black Purgatory for the rest of his life.
