The Face of the Fist Demon instantly froze, his eyes gradually darkening.
Killing intent slowly filled his gaze.
In the Dark Hall, the Hall Master was their faith. His commands were executed with absolute adherence.
The Dark Hall was akin to a fusion of the Glory Hall and the Dragon Pavilion.
In its broad strokes, it was similar to the Glory Hall, yet the Dark Hall was a one-man show dictated by the Hall Master.
To this day, let alone outsiders, even internal members of the Dark Hall had never seen the Hall Master. All commands and directives were either directly issued through the Dark Hall's internal network system or delivered via video.
Only Yashen Tian and other high-ranking officials had seen the Hall Master on video.
"I'd like to see how you plan to kill him."
"Wang Qinhai is under my protection, Wang Longlin. If you have any objections or thoughts, feel free to try! But today, let alone you two Yashen Tian, even if your Hall Master were to come, I would still protect him!"
Ye Longlin's words were calm, but the resolve within them was unmistakable to anyone who heard it!
Besides, there was no room for turning back on this matter now.
The Dark Hall was determined to kill him because he knew too much. If they didn't kill him, the opponent would cause immense losses to the Dark Hall.
This was something they wished to avoid.
"Ye Longlin, think carefully!"
"The Ye family can protect you for a time, but not forever!"
"I also hope you understand one thing: the Dark Hall is not something your mere Ye family can shake. I admit the Ye family has profound strength, but in reality, to the Dark Hall, it is merely a slightly larger ant, nothing more!"
The Fist Demon said coldly. It was evident that the Dark Hall had made up its mind; they were determined to kill him!
This scene caused Wang Qinhai's heart to be filled with utter disappointment, his eyes brimming with a sense of desolation.
He had initially thought the Dark Hall would surely protect him. After all, he knew so much, and he had rendered numerous meritorious services to the Dark Hall. Even if they disregarded the fact that he knew so much, they should at least consider his years of selfless dedication.
But what was the result?
The result was that the Dark Hall insisted on killing him, and they had deployed top-tier experts like Yashen Tian to do so!
"I'm just an ordinary person, yet the Dark Hall is willing to dispatch two Yashen Tian to kill me. My life as Wang Qinhai is worth it, hahahahaha!"
Wang Qinhai gave a bitter laugh, his smile tinged with the desolation of a fallen hero.
He had started from nothing, achieved the reputation of Chang'an's wealthiest man through his own efforts, and later encountered people from the Dark Hall, thereby stepping into an abyss.
He had done much for the Dark Hall over the years, yet he never imagined that it would come to this, with the Dark Hall intending to kill him!
It was truly disheartening.
"Dark Hall, Dark Hall!"
"You intended to kill me from the very beginning, didn't you? For so many years, I tirelessly completed the tasks and matters assigned by the Dark Hall, only for you to try and kill me now!"
Hong Lian Yaonu, sensing his tragic sentiment, chuckled and said, "So what? The Dark Hall never keeps useless people. Since you are no longer of any use, and you still carry the risk of leaking information.
As a businessman, you should also know that for someone useless and who could cause further losses, the options are either to flee far away or become a dead man.
And you can only become a dead man, especially since you have been captured. You are of no use to us anymore."
Hong Lian Yaonu seemed to be explaining to him, but it was also somewhat inflammatory. Moreover, these were the facts, and even the Fist Demon couldn't deny them.
Ye Longlin looked at them and sneered, "Now you've seen the true face of the Dark Hall, haven't you?"
Having said that, he gave Yuan Gang a look, and Yuan Gang understood instantly.
This was the best moment to break through the interrogation. His mental defenses had already collapsed, and interrogating him now offered over an eighty percent chance of him revealing everything.
Yuan Gang immediately took him inside and began the questioning.
Ye Longlin's primary task now was to stall them, to buy time for Yuan Gang. As long as they obtained the information he possessed, Wang Qinhai would no longer hold much value to them.
However, Wang Qinhai was no fool. He knew that if he revealed everything, he would lose his leverage, and his fate would truly become insignificant.
His greatest value lay in the information he currently held, making that information the key to his survival.
"Speak, Mr. Wang. You should know what we want to know."
Yuan Gang said slowly.
Wang Qinhai let out a long breath, sighed, and then slowly asked, "Do you have a cigarette?"
Yuan Gang gestured to a soldier beside him to hand him a cigarette and reminded him, "I advise you to hurry. My boss is stalling for time outside for you. If he can't hold them off, you'll only have death in the end!
Only we can save you from dying now, so you'd better tell us everything you know."
Wang Qinhai let out a cold laugh and shook his head slightly. "If I tell you everything, I'll have no value. Then you won't care about me, and only death will await me. Do you think I'm stupid?
I can tell you everything I know, but I also have a list of Dark Hall personnel in Chang'an. I will give it to you after this matter concludes tonight."
Yuan Gang shook his head. "You have no room to negotiate. Either you tell us, or you die here today."
Wang Qinhai gave a wry smile. "It's not that I won't give it to you. There are too many names on this list for me to remember. Only I know where this list is hidden. Even if I tell you the address, you won't be able to find it."
"Speak, tell us everything you know. I need very detailed information."
This was the first time they had learned detailed information about the Dark Hall.
"The headquarters of the Dark Hall is located in Chang'an..."
In the time that followed, aside from the list, he revealed almost everything he knew. As Yuan Gang listened, he grew increasingly shocked. He had never imagined the Dark Hall to be so vast!
And outside, the Fist Demon had already attacked!
The Fist Demon's most formidable weapon was his pair of iron fists, beneath which lay the souls of countless strong individuals.
With a punch thrown, Ye Longlin dared not receive it head-on. Sidestepping, he delivered a whip kick directly to the Fist Demon's chest. After creating distance, clusters of red lotuses appeared around Ye Longlin, sealing off his retreat.
"You seek death!"
