Indeed, a corpse.

In the gaze of all present, as Leng Ye's thoughts flickered, the Blue Flame Heart Demon slowly emerged from Harman's pupils, dragging out his ethereal soul as well and then devouring it in one gulp.

The pitiful and piercing wails made everyone's teeth chatter.

This Ghost Saint truly lived up to his reputation!

However, this Blue Flame Heart Demon also seemed rather peculiar. Could it directly devour living souls?

Of course, at this moment, no one would object, nor did anyone dare to.

The strange human face within the Flames appeared exceedingly jubilant, though it seemed not quite sated. Its baleful and greedy eyes covetously surveyed everyone present.

Leng Ye's mind moved again, and the Blue Flame Heart Demon flew back to him. Excitedly orbiting Leng Ye, it transformed once again into a tiny Flame.

Yet clearly, a mere Harman was not the end of it!

It had been a close call. If Leng Ye hadn't made preparations in advance, and if Su Ping hadn't been lucky, the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal might truly have been lost. Even though the Heavenly Tomb was to the north of Dragon Nation, and with the geographic advantage, it would be difficult for Eagle Country to act rashly. However, losing the Sword Seal was equivalent to losing the initiative.

In fact, Leng Ye was well aware of this. Even Dragon Nation was searching for the whereabouts of those keys within the territories of the other two Heavenly Tombs. Eagle Country was watching so closely. The Heavenly Tomb must contain a great secret!

It was for this very reason that Harman, the long-time envoy in Dragon Nation, didn't amount to much. However, Mu Yu, who had returned from Eagle Country, was clearly of far greater importance. Anything involving the Heavenly Tomb was naturally no trivial matter. Moreover, Leng Ye was curious: What exactly is inside the Heavenly Tomb?

Although Mu Yu might not necessarily know, having just one more source of intelligence was of tremendous value to Dragon Nation. Now, with such an opportunity and excuse presenting itself—his visitors practically delivering themselves to his doorstep—he couldn't be happier!

So, after playing with the Blue Flame Heart Demon for a bit, Leng Ye thought for a moment and walked directly into the interrogation room.

Compared to Harman's earlier provocations, Mu Yu at this moment was extremely quiet, even a little too quiet. He was silent, his breathing becoming slightly rapid.

He didn't know what exactly had happened, but Mu Yu knew one thing for sure.

The soul louse is dead!

The soul louse I left inside Harman... it's dead!

The implications... they were undeniable.

If Harman had simply died along with it, that would have been one thing. But if Harman hadn't died, or if he had spilled the beans before dying, then the outcome would be self-evident.

In fact, if the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal had already been obtained, I wouldn't have cared so much.

If I die, I die.

Even I had made certain preparations for this trip to Dragon Nation. I even had some expectations.

However, what I'm worried about is that Lord Charles's task hasn't been completed!

The Sword Seal!

Matters concerning the Heavenly Tomb were, for Mu Yu, currently more important than his own life.

So, at this moment, a sliver of wishful thinking sparked in Mu Yu's heart.

Even if Su Ping is fine, he thought, they won't know my true purpose. They'll think all I wanted was his Paperman. If that's the case, then obviously, things can still be salvaged. In the future, Eagle Country might still have a chance to get the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal.

However, in the next second, that sliver of wishful thinking in Mu Yu's heart was utterly shattered, leaving not a trace behind.

For into the interrogation room walked a figure.

A figure he had seen before in photographs.

This figure's face was one that required close attention from Eagle Country.

How could he be here? Mu Yu's eyes bulged.

The one who understands you best is always your enemy.

Even within Dragon Nation, very few had truly seen Leng Ye or knew of the Ghost Saint. But now, Mu Yu recognized at first glance who the newcomer was. He also understood now why the soul louse he had been so confident in had been detected and eradicated.

If this personage himself has come, then everything makes sense.

Leng Ye looked at him, a smile in his eyes, and said, "Judging by your expression, it seems you know who I am, eh? TSK, TSK. To go to such lengths, all for this thing?"

Mu Yu looked in despair at the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal that had appeared in Leng Ye's hands.

As expected! With him here, it would be truly unbelievable if the matter of the Sword Seal could still be concealed.

Although he had anticipated this, upon seeing the item, the breath Mu Yu had been holding, the tension he'd maintained, completely deflated.

Mu Yu lifted his head, his expression one of complete resignation, and said, "Leng Sheng, if you have anything you want to ask, just speak directly!"

"Something I want to ask?" Leng Ye chuckled. "Question you? I never question living enemies. Corpses and souls are far more truthful!"

Mu Yu froze. Then, a flash of deep blue instantly enveloped his entire field of vision.

"AHHH..."

The equally agonized howls didn't cause the slightest flicker of emotion in Leng Ye. Soon, however, his eyebrows knitted together slightly. He looked at what was before him.

And at that moment, within the interrogation room, a light flared. The Blue Flame Heart Demon was forcibly ejected from Mu Yu's body.
