Yang Fei, having eaten his fill, eagerly clenched his fists as he saw Hausen wake up.

He lifted Hausen up and tossed him onto the gravel.

"Lord Earl, you're finally awake."

Hausen, having mingled in the Underworld for most of his life, started to feel a chill in his heart the moment he saw the surroundings, knowing he was facing a dire situation.

The old man was quite frank and straightforwardly turned himself up.

"I, Hausen, admit defeat. Whatever you want, just ask. Do you want money or territory?"

Yang Fei silently praised him, this old worldly-wise man was indeed sharp-eyed, saving him much hassle.

However, despite this, Yang Fei still drew his Dagger and stabbed it into the sandy ground, coolly saying.

"The Earl is a smart man, but I still want to make things clear. The reason I brought you here today is merely to inquire about something."

As he spoke, a fierce look emerged in his eyes.

"I just want to ask, why did you have the Scorpion King target me? Is this related to the Heavenly Fire Sect?"

Hausen suspiciously observed Yang Fei's face and suddenly shivered, revealing an expression of absolute shock.

"You... you are the Demon Envoy Yang Fei?"

Yang Fei impatiently waved his hand: "My name is Yang Fei, not some Demon Envoy."

Hausen looked at Yang Fei in terror.

"You... going against the Divine, there's no good end to it. The strength of the Divine is beyond your imagination."

Yang Fei knew this guy's head had been brainwashed by the Heavenly Fire Sect, so he straightforwardly gave him a hard truth.

"What bird Divine? Your Divine Envoy daughter-in-law was beaten to a pulp by me, turned into a dead dog. You probably didn't expect that?"

Hausen indeed was startled and screamed out.

"They weren't wrong, you truly are the Great Demon who brings destruction. I will never yield to you."

Yang Fei was speechless, kicking the Dagger on the ground with his toe and casually holding it in his hand.

He twirled the Dagger in his hand, and with a brushing sound, sliced off one of Hausen's ears.

"Ah..."

Hausen screamed miserably, covering his ear, his face going deathly pale with pain.

Yang Fei smiled coldly, the Dagger in his hand swirling with a flourish of blades, speaking calmly.

"This is just an appetizer. If you don't talk, I'll slice you piece by piece today."

Hausen looked at Yang Fei in terror, as if he was seeing the real Devil.

Yang Fei coolly said: "I'll count to ten. If by then, I haven't heard the answer I want, I'll scoop out one of your eyes."

Before Hausen could react, Yang Fei started counting.

"Ten nine eight seven six five..."

He spoke swiftly, and the Dagger pointed menacingly at Hausen's eye, as if the interrogation was just a cover, with the real intent being to gouge out Hausen's eye.

This rapid counting completely terrified Hausen, causing his psychological defenses to collapse entirely.

Seeing Yang Fei's blade flicker, seemingly about to stab, he immediately shouted: "No, I'll talk."

Yang Fei and Nuannuan exchanged a smile.

Nuannuan gave Yang Fei a thumbs up. This guy's thinking was different from others; while others usually take their time in an interrogation, he deliberately sped things up, achieving remarkable results instead.

Hausen recounted the events to Yang Fei truthfully.

Hausen was the underground overlord of Aiji, dominating the entire Underworld of Aiji as the unchallenged Great Owl of the Imperial.

However, three years ago, a mysterious man joined Hausen's gang.

Within just one year, this man controlled most of Hausen's power.

Hausen certainly couldn't tolerate the existence of such a traitor, immediately laying a trap to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the elimination, Hausen's elite disciples were completely wiped out by a mysterious man leading an armed team of more than ten people.

Strangely, the other party did not kill Hausen, only demanding his submission and offering Hausen numerous benefits.

Hausen, like a toothless Tiger, helplessly agreed.

Henceforth, the three main forces under Hausen served this mysterious organization.

As time went on, this mysterious organization did not solely remain in the background but instead came out to act all over, known as the Heavenly Fire Sect, referred to as the Divine.

The penetration of the Heavenly Fire Sect was extensive, not limiting itself to the Underworld, but also reaching commerce, economy, and even student groups.

Their massive power and foundation had even Hausen striving to ingratiate himself.

And his only daughter Lucy, through Hausen's efforts, was finally able to marry a Divine Envoy from the Heavenly Fire Sect.

This Divine Envoy, who had just confronted Yang Fei, was the True Martial Master Yang Xiao.

Just a few days ago, Yang Xiao gave Hausen a dozen electronic photos, asking him to have people watch the individuals in the photos.

Hausen thought of the Scorpion King, who in turn hired the private investigator Sang En, thus provoking Yang Fei.

After listening, Yang Fei pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"So, you don't know why they had you watching me?"

Hausen mournfully replied: "I, the Great Owl of the Imperial, have already been entirely marginalized by them."

"To them, I'm insignificant, low in status. How would they tell me something so confidential?"

Yang Fei sighed. Initially, he thought that as long as he caught Hausen, he could find Dan Dan's whereabouts. It seems that was to no avail after all.

Unless he could catch the True Martial Master Yang Xiao, but how could that be easy?

Yang Fei possessed the Three-Star Shine, capable of killing Yang Xiao, but capturing him alive was incredibly difficult.

Moreover, there was the also unfathomable Chen Xingzhu.

After Chen Xingzhu's resurrection, Yang Fei had no confidence in defeating her.

She already knew the power of the Three-Star Shine, making it extremely difficult to activate the Three-Star Shine to kill her as well.

For a moment, Yang Fei fell into deep thought, feeling a bit of a headache.

At this time, Nuannuan, who had been listening on the side, suddenly interjected.

"Brother Fei, why did you come to Aiji? I know something about the Heavenly Fire Sect."

Yang Fei was astonished, widening his eyes.

"You know about the Heavenly Fire Sect? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him.

"You didn't ask me, so how was I supposed to know what you were trying to do?"

Yang Fei suspiciously looked at Nuannuan, then sighed after a long pause.

"Alright, I came for a child."

With that, he recounted his and Dan Dan's story.

Nuannuan was very surprised and also subtly angry.

"Those bastards... what are they doing kidnapping a child?"

Yang Fei forced a smile: "This I don't know. Since Dan Dan regards me as his only kin, I can't just stand by."

Nuannuan nodded, seemingly making up her mind about something.

"Alright, I'll take you to the headquarters of the Heavenly Fire Sect to rescue Dan Dan. Sigh, the Wu Clan nowadays is really detestable."

Yang Fei found her words awkward and snorted.

"The Wu Clan was never good. Ever since I started dealing with them, this wicked Ancient Remnant Clan has never done anything good..."
