Facing Feng Jun, Ye Cangtian did not want to expose too much. Firstly, the other party had not yet pledged allegiance to him.
Secondly, he did not know what Feng Jun had done, so he could not promise high positions or generous salaries.
All he could do was consider sparing Feng Jun’s life if he genuinely repented and cooperated with him.
"You!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun's face instantly turned grim.
His words were filled with a threat. Had it been in the past, he would have definitely thrown the other party out.
But things were different now. He had been sidelined. If Lei Ming plotted against him further, he would be close to falling out of favor.
Most importantly, as Ye Cangtian had said, he had committed many misdeeds with Lei Ming. If he lost favor, all his enemies would come knocking.
He would surely meet a gruesome end.
Thinking of this, Feng Jun took a sip of wine and then said in a deep voice, "Fine, ask whatever you want to know!
But I have one condition. If you mention this to anyone else after leaving this room, I will never admit to it!"
"Agreed."
Ye Cangtian nodded and then, without further ado, directly asked, "I heard that many members of the Frost City Stealth Force were captured here. Where are they now?"
This...
Upon hearing this question, Feng Jun's face changed dramatically, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
"I cannot answer this question!" Feng Jun hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
That was right. He had agreed to the other party, but that depended on the question.
If it involved revealing some of Lei Ming's secrets, he could choose to provide selective information.
However, if it involved top secrets or evil deeds that he himself had participated in, that would be another matter.
After all, revealing such things would be tantamount to suicide; his only outcome would be death.
On the other side, seeing Feng Jun's guilty demeanor, Ye Cangtian knew that the other party certainly knew the whereabouts of the Stealth Force members.
His expression then turned cold, and he said, "Feng Jun, you must know that you will soon fall out of favor and become a discarded piece. In this Dragon Ascension Villa, I am probably the only one willing to step forward to protect your life!"
"So, you know how to choose, don't you?"
This...
These words made Feng Jun hesitate. Falling out of favor meant death for him.
And revealing such information was also a death sentence.
The biggest difference between the two was that in the former case, no one was willing to protect his life, while in the latter, Death was willing to protect his life.
Thinking of this, Feng Jun said, "Alright, I'll tell you, but you must remember your words today and protect my life!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian nod his sincere agreement, Feng Jun no longer hesitated and said, "Behind the villa, there is a very hidden secret realm. Most of the people brought from Frost City are there..."
Feng Jun stated that besides these people, a very small portion of other Stealth Force members had joined the Dragon Ascension Villa.
The remaining people, many could not withstand torture and were tortured to death, while others were ordered to be executed by Lei Ming.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Most of them were still alive, which was good news for him.
Thus, he asked, "Why were those people imprisoned in the secret realm instead of the villa's dungeons?"
In Ye Cangtian's opinion, the relationship between the Stealth Force and the Dragon Ascension Villa should have been well-known here. Therefore, there was no need to send some Stealth Force members to a secret realm if they were to be imprisoned.
But Lei Ming had done so, and he wanted to know the reason.
Regarding this question, Feng Jun shook his head and said helplessly, "I truly don't know this. I was only responsible for safely escorting people to the secret realm and occasionally sending supplies and so on."
Feng Jun stated that he had never entered the secret realm. He only delivered people and supplies to the entrance of the secret realm, where someone would come out to receive them.
Therefore, he had no idea what the situation was like inside the secret realm.
"He treats you like this, clearly not considering you one of his own!"
Ye Cangtian sneered upon hearing this and continued, "Alright, since you've said so much, I can't be bothered to ask you more. What heinous deeds have you done with him?"
"Many!"
Feng Jun's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and began to confess.
In the competition for the sect leader position, he had fiercely contended with the senior disciple. Lei Ming was also at his most ruthless then.
To put it simply, it was "those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish!"
As for those who did not join Lei Ming or were under the senior disciple, Lei Ming usually assigned the task to Feng Jun and other experts like Hua Guang.
Finally, Feng Jun would handle the aftermath, cleaning up the scene, and erasing any traces.
In short, Feng Jun had basically participated in most of Lei Ming's dirty and arduous work.
"Heh, you know what? I'm already regretting sparing your life!"
As he listened to Feng Jun's confession, Ye Cangtian's expression grew colder, and he finally let out a cold laugh.
He truly regretted it. For the things Feng Jun had participated in, a hundred deaths would not be enough.
Just from what Ye Cangtian had heard, he had to suppress his killing intent several times.
"Lord Grim Reaper, you can't do this! I've told you everything; you must spare my life!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Feng Jun immediately panicked. He now saw Ye Cangtian as his last hope.
If even Ye Cangtian was unwilling to protect him, he truly didn't know how he would survive.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill my promise, but you must genuinely repent and strive to gain everyone's forgiveness..."
After all, he had already agreed, and Feng Jun had also confessed everything proactively.
If he could repent, Ye Cangtian would be willing to tolerate Feng Jun and give him a chance.
Feng Jun heard this and nodded repeatedly without a second thought, saying, "Lord Grim Reaper, as long as I can survive this, I will sincerely repent, and I will do whatever you command..."
"Good, I'll be waiting to see your performance!"
Ye Cangtian nodded, then chatted with Feng Jun for a while longer before secretly leaving Feng Jun's room.
He returned to his own room.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the night, checked the time, and realized there wasn't much time left until dawn.
After a moment of thought, Ye Cangtian ultimately abandoned the idea of going to the secret realm.
During the day, there were too many people, and many were listening to them. Once they disappeared, it would easily attract Lei Ming's attention.
At that time, the difficulty of rescuing so many Stealth Force members would increase several times.
Therefore, it would be better to act at night.
The next moment, he lay down on the bed and began to cultivate.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already approaching noon.
Ye Cangtian left his room and saw Lan Yue already sitting in the living room, having prepared some food. He then walked over.
"Senior Sister, I got some information from Feng Jun yesterday."
"It is said that the Stealth Force members are currently imprisoned in a secret realm behind the villa, so I plan to go and check it out tonight..."
Ye Cangtian briefly explained the information he had gathered and his plan of action.
After all, there were many people to rescue, and to avoid any accidents, he decided to bring Lan Yue and Yao Bao'er along.
Lan Yue, needless to say, had extraordinary strength and was a rare assistant.
As for bringing Yao Bao'er, there were two reasons.
First, Yao Bao'er's cultivation was relatively low. In the current villa, Ye Cangtian was worried that someone might harm her.
If he brought Yao Bao'er along, he wouldn't have to worry about such things.
Second, the Stealth Force members were imprisoned, and he did not believe Lei Ming would refrain from using torture. Therefore, bringing Yao Bao'er could also provide simple treatment for some severely injured individuals.
On the other side, Lan Yue frowned and said, "Junior Brother, I have heard about some of Feng Jun's matters, but Feng Jun is Lei Ming's man after all. Aren't you afraid he intentionally set a trap for you?"
"I hadn't considered that."
"However, from Feng Jun's demeanor, he is indeed very disappointed and dissatisfied with Lei Ming."
"And from our conversation, Feng Jun does not have much cunning, so I think the possibility of a trap is very small."
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment and then slowly said.
He had seen many people and had great confidence in his judgment. He even thought that if the other party could deceive him, they would absolutely be considered an Oscar-worthy actor in the outside world.
"Junior Brother, I'm still a bit uneasy. How about I go and scout it out first!" Lan Yue suggested after a moment of silence.
"No need."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and continued, "Even if it's a trap, with our strength, we can break through it. So, Senior Sister, please don't take the risk, lest we alert the enemy."
"Alright, then I'll wait for the action tonight."
Lan Yue heard this and, after some thought, finally agreed.
She thought about it, and Ye Cangtian's words made sense. In the entire Dragon Ascension Villa, she hadn't seen any Heavenly realm experts. Even Lei Ming was only at the quasi-Heavenly realm.
Therefore, even if they encountered any danger, Ye Cangtian's cultivation would be enough to resolve it easily.
On the other side, seeing Lan Yue about to leave, Ye Cangtian quickly said, "Senior Sister, there are many eyes and ears around us. Remember to take them out for a good stroll during the day..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue instantly understood. If these spies were tired out during the day, they would naturally be more relaxed at night, making their actions more convenient.
Thinking of this, she nodded, signifying her agreement.
