Seeing Xuan Sanqi's expression as if he had eaten shit, Ye Cangtian chuckled inwardly and nodded to the guard:
"Yes! Have someone take these informants, along with these guards, back to the branch prison!"
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately responded, then said, "My lord, this is Xuan Sanqi's secret room, perhaps there are other hidden things. I think we should search it thoroughly!"
At this, Ye Cangtian's heart immediately lit up.
He was worried about how to reveal the Japanese attire in the last secret room, but he didn't expect the guard, in an effort to show loyalty, would proactively suggest a search. Truly opportune!
The next moment, Ye Cangtian glanced at Xuan Sanqi and then said to the guard, "I trust Xuan Sanqi, but if this place isn't searched, there might be rumors...
Very well, I'll leave this matter to you."
The guard immediately went to search.
In response, Xuan Sanqi's expression was displeased, his three eyes showing disdain.
In his opinion, this was a typical case of getting benefits while pretending to be unwilling. He wouldn't be grateful!
This...
Sensing no unusual expression from Xuan Sanqi, Ye Cangtian frowned.
Logically, if there was Japanese attire in the lounge, Xuan Sanqi should be nervous, but why was he so calm?
Could it be that Xuan Sanqi had already discovered someone had entered the lounge, and thus had moved the Japanese attire?
Unlikely!
If he knew someone had entered, why would he bring the informants here for interrogation?
Just as Ye Cangtian was pondering, the guard who had left earlier returned before him.
"Reporting to Lord Po Xiao, only a set of Japanese attire was found in the lounge, nothing else!"
"What!"
Damn it! After not wearing it for so long, I actually forgot about this set of attire!
Hearing the guard's voice, Xuan Sanqi's face immediately turned pale. That was his attire from his time in the Ninja division.
He kept it until now, intending to wear it and look at it whenever he felt homesick.
But now that it was discovered by Po Xiao in front of everyone, it would be difficult to explain!
On the other side, Ye Cangtian finally saw panic in Xuan Sanqi's eyes. There was no doubt now, this set of attire must belong to Xuan Sanqi.
He also felt relieved.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian glanced at Xuan Sanqi and said, "Xuan Sanqi, you need to give me an explanation for this!"
"Uh..."
"This, this is from years ago when I went to Japan. I felt their attire was quite aesthetically pleasing, so I had a set custom-made and kept it..."
Xuan Sanqi said hesitantly, his face full of fear, stammering as he spoke.
"Heh, do you think everyone is an idiot?"
Ye Cangtian sneered, glancing at Xuan Sanqi, and said indifferently, "Confess and be forgiven, resist and be punished. You should know that in this situation, only you can save yourself!"
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Sanqi began to tremble.
If it were merely about setting up a private tribunal, given his many years of service to the Dark Association and the protection of Red Demon, there would be no issue.
But the current situation was different. Even though it was just a set of Japanese attire, it was enough to prove he was a spy for the Japanese Ninja division.
Spies are hated by everyone, and no one would protect them!
Thinking of this, Xuan Sanqi's gaze gradually turned fierce!
"Po Xiao, you truly have the luck of a dog!"
"With no contribution whatsoever, you were rewarded with a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and became an Earth-level executive!"
"I can't compete with you in luck!"
Xuan Sanqi was extremely resentful. He had dedicated twenty to thirty years to the Dark Association without receiving a single Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
Yet Xuan Qi had only been here for a short time and had such good fortune, which made him extremely jealous.
Most importantly, the other party's luck was simply too heaven-defying. Even he had forgotten about the existence of the Japanese attire, but the other party found it, destroying all his hopes.
"Luck is also a part of strength!"
Ye Cangtian said indifferently, then returned to the main topic, "By saying that, are you admitting that you are a spy for the Ninja division?"
"The evidence is conclusive, and you caught me red-handed. Do you think I have any reason to deny it?"
Xuan Sanqi looked at Ye Cangtian with disdain, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Po Xiao, although I admit everything, don't celebrate too soon!"
"Oh? What do you mean? You still have a chance to turn the tables?" Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow.
"Heh, what do you think?"
Xuan Sanqi smirked playfully and continued, "Your luck is good, that's true, but this is my territory. Do you think these guards will listen to you?"
With the situation as it was, Xuan Sanqi prepared to take a gamble.
As long as his confidantes were not yet taken away, and coupled with his prestige in the Dark Association, he believed he could rally many guards.
If that were the case, he would still have the confidence to contend with Po Xiao.
"Xuan Sanqi, being too confident is not good!"
"The reason I became an Earth-level executive, while having some luck, doesn't mean my abilities are lacking!"
"In other words, even if I'm a formidable outsider, you, the local snake, cannot suppress me!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian scanned the entire audience. Seeing that the guards were wavering, clearly unsure of where to stand.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Xuan Sanqi himself has admitted to being a Japanese spy. Anyone who wants to be buried with him, feel free to stand by his side, and I will grant your wish!"
At these words, all the guards were startled and lowered their heads.
They initially had no intention of taking sides, believing neutrality would suffice.
After all, Xuan Sanqi was their old leader, who had treated them well, and on the other hand, they did not want to oppose the Dark Association.
But now, Po Xiao's intention was clear: it was black or white, and neutrality was not allowed, forcing them to make a choice.
"Xuan Sanqi, I've found something wrong with you long ago! As expected, you're no good!"
"Brothers, stop hesitating. This is the territory of the Dark Association. Following a Japanese spy is destined for a terrible end!"
"Following Lord Po Xiao now is the path to a boundless future!"
Just then, the guard who had left earlier stepped forward again. His objective was clear: to ensure Xuan Sanqi's utter destruction.
This way, Xuan Sanqi would not be able to retaliate against him.
The guards were already wavering, and now, hearing someone step forward to support Po Xiao, they felt as if they had a leader, and slowly began to move behind Ye Cangtian.
Beautiful!
Hearing the guard's words, Ye Cangtian inwardly smiled. This guard was sensible, knowing that someone should take the lead in pledging loyalty at this moment.
"Bastard! I'll kill you!"
Seeing this scene, Xuan Sanqi could no longer suppress his anger and exploded.
The guard had found the Japanese attire, and he already wanted to kill him. Now that the guard was inciting the other guards, he couldn't take it anymore.
The next moment, he shot out, his hand transforming into a blade, slashing towards the guard's neck.
Hmph!
Seeing this, the guard immediately cried out in alarm. Just then, a cold snort was heard.
Po Xiao, who had appeared out of nowhere, blocked in front of the guard and firmly grasped the guard's wrist with his other hand.
