Cheng Haijun nearly wet himself upon hearing this.
Hua Xia had been peaceful for nearly a hundred years. Although he had served in the East Sea War Zone for twenty years, he had mostly lived a life of comfort and had never truly suffered.
Ye Kunlun's cold eyes made him wish he could kowtow a thousand times to Ye Kunlun if only he would spare him.
"However, since you want to talk, I'll give you a chance!"
Ye Kunlun said indifferently, "Speak, with whom in Dongyang did you leak your senior sister's information?"
"Osaka Shiota."
Without thinking, Cheng Haijun quickly confessed everything he knew to Ye Kunlun, hoping Ye Kunlun would be in a good mood and spare him.
"He is the captain of the first combat team of the Dongyang Maritime Agency, and hails from a Dongyang martial arts family. Han Qing... As far as I know, Lord Han was injured by him."
Ye Kunlun noted the name Osaka Shiota. Harming Han Qingmian had only one outcome: death!
"How much do you know about the Witch God and the Three Gods Society?" Ye Kunlun continued to ask.
Cheng Haijun shivered and continued to confess, "I... I don't know about the Witch God. Osaka Shiota promised me that after the deed was done, I could join the Three Gods Society, promising me eternal life..."
Eternal life again!
It seemed the Three Gods Society had brainwashed many people with the promise of eternal life.
It was understandable; who wouldn't want eternal life? To enjoy the world's prosperity forever, but it was all a facade!
"Absurd!" Ye Kunlun rebuked.
"I know it's absurd, I was wrong, I was confused for a moment," Cheng Haijun went along with Ye Kunlun.
"Besides Osaka Shiota, who else have you contacted? Including people from Hua Xia's Three Gods Society!"
Ye Kunlun asked with a frown.
A hint of hesitation appeared in Cheng Haijun's eyes, which Ye Kunlun caught.
"What? Do you want to conceal something?" Ye Kunlun narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp with killing intent.
"If I tell you, I'll surely die in Hua Xia. Unless... unless you can guarantee my safety."
Cheng Haijun gritted his teeth and tried to negotiate with Ye Kunlun.
"Heh." Ye Kunlun sneered, "Do you think you are in a position to negotiate with me? If you don't speak, you can die right now!"
"Ah, I... I'll talk!"
Cheng Haijun hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to give him no leeway at all. His teeth chattered as he replied, "Three years ago, I met Sui Yan."
"Sui Yan? The Sui family, one of the seven great Kyoto families?" Ye Kunlun's eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at Cheng Haijun, seeking confirmation.
"Yes, the Sui family of the seven great Kyoto families..."
Cheng Haijun swallowed, his face pale.
But at this point, he had nothing left to hide.
Cheng Haijun continued, "However, Sui Yan was accompanied by a young man. Sui Yan didn't say much, but later that young man came to me again and took me to meet Osaka Shiota."
"I don't know anything else."
Cheng Haijun finished in one breath, his expression ingratiating, "Lord Ye, can you spare me?"
"What young man, what was his name?" Ye Kunlun would not let anyone related to the Three Gods Society go.
Cheng Haijun glanced at the hooked-nosed old man beside him, whose face was already disfigured and whose voice had become extremely hoarse.
He shivered and shook his head, "I don't know his name, but he looked about your age. I remember he had a mole on the corner of his right eye."
Upon hearing Cheng Haijun's words, Ye Kunlun immediately thought of what the woman from the Wu Xiang Palace had said.
Ten years ago, someone with a red mole on the corner of their right eye had approached her and Zhou Lie!
"It really is the Wu clan!"
Ye Kunlun realized this person's identity was crucial, and he likely knew everything that had happened behind the scenes.
"Do you have his contact information?" Ye Kunlun asked impatiently.
Cheng Haijun shook his head and replied, "After he took me to meet Osaka Shiota, he never came to the East Sea War Zone again. That's all I know."
"So, you have no more value."
Ye Kunlun said indifferently, his face devoid of emotion.
Cheng Haijun was startled and desperately kowtowed to Ye Kunlun, "Please spare me, I was forced, please..."
Bang bang bang—
Cheng Haijun kowtowed with all his might, and his forehead began to bleed within moments!
Ye Kunlun's expression remained unchanged, and he showed no sympathy.
"Xu Zijing, isn't it? Feed him this poison!" Ye Kunlun handed a black pill to Xu Zijing.
"No, don't!"
Cheng Haijun got up and tried to run.
Xu Zijing lunged forward and grabbed Cheng Haijun back.
He angrily said to Cheng Haijun, "Cheng Haijun, you leaked the East Sea War Zone's secrets and framed Lord Han. It's all your own fault!"
Then, Xu Zijing looked at Ye Kunlun and asked with some fear, "Lord Ye, although Cheng Haijun made a mistake, shouldn't he be handed over to the War Zone court? We..."
"Are you telling me what to do?"
Ye Kunlun glanced coldly at Xu Zijing, surprised that he was still pleading for Cheng Haijun at this point.
Everything Cheng Haijun had done was enough to warrant death ten times over!
"Yes, yes, yes, hand me over to the War Zone court, I confess!"
Cheng Haijun shouted, preferring to be tried by the War Zone court rather than fall into Ye Kunlun's hands.
"Don't worry, you won't die after taking my medicine!"
Ye Kunlun said coldly.
Xu Zijing hesitated for a moment before shoving the black pill into Cheng Haijun's mouth.
"Ah, no!!"
Cheng Haijun desperately clawed at his throat, trying to dislodge the pill. The thought of the hooked-nosed old man's fate, a fate worse than death, filled him with dread.
Soon, the medicine took effect.
No one paid attention to Cheng Haijun's shrill screams; Ye Kunlun had gotten what he wanted.
"Xu Zijing, do you recognize this?"
Ye Kunlun produced the Supreme Token.
Xu Zijing's eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked at the Supreme Token in Ye Kunlun's hand with disbelief.
The next second, he knelt directly before Ye Kunlun, his expression excited, "Xu Zijing of the East Sea War Zone, pays his respects to the Supreme!"
"It seems you recognize the Supreme Token!"
Ye Kunlun put away the Supreme Token.
Besides being the token of the Supreme Alliance, the Supreme Token could also command the five great war zones of Hua Xia – East, West, North, South, and Central – and possessed the highest authority.
"The Supreme Token is the highest command token of Hua Xia's five great war zones. Anyone above the rank of Three-Star General recognizes it!"
Xu Zijing could not hide his excitement.
For a long time, there had been rumors within the five great war zones of Hua Xia about a supreme Supreme Token, but no one had ever seen the real one.
Xu Zijing had never expected to see it one day!
He had no doubt about the authenticity of the Supreme Token because the pattern on it was only known to those above the rank of Three-Star General. Few people knew about it, and fewer still would dare to forge it.
"Very well, from this moment on, you are the sole and highest commander of the East Sea War Zone!"
Ye Kunlun directly appointed Xu Zijing.
