Faced with Chen Xiao's aggressive questioning, the Dragon King couldn't help but smile sheepishly, "No, no, no, you misunderstand. I'm not threatening you, nor am I saying you can't do it. It's just that it would bring you some trouble, wouldn't it?"

"But if you let me go, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least in the short term, the people from the Underworld Palace won't come looking for trouble."

Everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that the Dragon King had been talking so much nonsense just to beg Chen Xiao to spare his life!

He was just being relatively subtle about it.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao didn't fall for it at all: "What if I'm not afraid of trouble?"

Dragon King: "..."

Everyone understood that Chen Xiao was determined to kill the Dragon King.

The reason he hadn't killed him yet was just for amusement.

Like an old cat catching a mouse, he wouldn't eat it right away, but would play with it until he was bored before killing it with a paw.

The Dragon King seemed to recognize his situation as well. He sighed, and then said, "Alas, it seems I have to bring out something real to save my life today!"

"Oh?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and a strong interest emerged in his eyes, "What other real things do you have that you haven't taken out?"

The Dragon King's eyes drifted towards Chen Xiao's chest, as if he could see through him.

"It's the Yin-Yang Jade hanging on your chest!"

Chen Xiao was suddenly shocked: "What did you say?"

When the Dragon King saw Chen Xiao so excited, he immediately felt confident. He glanced around, "This doesn't seem like the place to talk!"

Chen Xiao snorted, then stomped his foot suddenly. A burst of spiritual energy spread out from his toes, and everyone it touched fell to the ground, limp and unconscious.

In the end, apart from the Dragon King and Chen Xiao himself, not a single person in the entire hall was conscious.

The Dragon King couldn't help but be shocked, and he smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. If you had done this from the beginning, it would have been over long ago."

Chen Xiao smiled playfully: "Wouldn't that have been less fun?"

Then, he changed the subject and glared at the Dragon King, asking, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

That Yin-Yang Jade was the foundation of all of Chen Xiao's abilities, and he hadn't even told his closest people about this secret.

But the Dragon King's words just now were clearly meaningful.

If Chen Xiao had only wanted to tease the Dragon King before, now, Chen Xiao had already decided to kill him.

But before killing the Dragon King, Chen Xiao wanted to confirm one thing.

That was, besides the Dragon King, did anyone else know this secret.

The Dragon King immediately felt enveloped in murderous intent, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

As a shrewd person, he could naturally guess what Chen Xiao was thinking.

So he hurriedly said, "Chen Xiao, you don't need to be so nervous. No one else knows about this except me!"

Chen Xiao sneered, "Then it's simple, I just need to kill you!"

The Dragon King hurriedly said, "Wait, Chen Xiao, don't you want to know the secret about this Yin-Yang Jade?"

Chen Xiao asked coldly, "How much do you know?"

The Dragon King said everything he knew without holding back: "I only know that it's related to your background. I'm not referring to your current mother, but your biological parents. And I also know that your ability to become so strong overnight from an ordinary person is also related to this Yin-Yang Jade."

"Listen to what you're saying. You pride yourself on being clever, but based on what you know, I won't leave you in this world. Aren't you clear about that?"

Chen Xiao was expressionless, but his tone was extremely cold.

The Dragon King hurriedly said, "I know, but if you kill me, then there will be no one else in this world to help you find the secret of this Yin-Yang Jade!"

"You're looking for the secret of the Yin-Yang Jade? Or are you looking for me?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. He realized that he couldn't see through this eunuch again.

Seeing the murderous intent surrounding him receding, the Dragon King finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's my duty."

Chen Xiao was increasingly confused: "It's your duty? Who are you working for? Dongxia Yang Potian?"

The Dragon King smiled slightly, disdainfully, "Yang Potian? He's not qualified for me to work for him. At most, we just use each other, a mutually beneficial relationship!"

"Then who are you working for?"

Chen Xiao became a little impatient.

A thick layer of fear appeared on the Dragon King's face, and he trembled as he said, "Chen Xiao, I beg you, please don't ask. I can't say it. Even if you kill me, I can't say it, because if I do, the consequences will be a hundred times worse than death!"

Chen Xiao could tell that the Dragon King wasn't lying. A hundred times worse than death; he couldn't imagine what kind of consequences that would be.

The Dragon King then continued, "Chen Xiao, I can't say anything else, but you can believe me on one point. I have no malicious intent towards you, and I will help you uncover the secret of the Yin-Yang Jade! This matter is known only to you, me, Heaven, and Earth!"

Chen Xiao asked again, "What about the person behind you?"

The Dragon King smiled bitterly, "I'm specifically responsible for this matter, and they don't know about it. Please don't force me, okay?"

Chen Xiao suddenly felt like an invisible hand was behind him, and he had nowhere to hide under that hand.

But he couldn't do anything about it, because he could tell that the Dragon King had said everything he could.

Since he couldn't get anything useful out of the Dragon King, he turned to ask, "How long will it take you to find out the secret about the Yin-Yang Jade?"

"It could be as little as a year or two, or as long as ten or twenty years."

The Dragon King gave a vague answer.

"What about after that?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say."

"..."

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I can give you time, but if you discover any secrets, you must report them to me as soon as possible. Can you do that?"

"Of course, of course."

The Dragon King said with a flattering smile, repeating himself.

Chen Xiao asked again, "What about the Underworld Palace? You suffered a crushing defeat in Jiangbei. Aren't you afraid that Yang Potian won't let you go?"

The Dragon King smiled faintly and said, "Yang Potian still needs to rely on me. He doesn't dare to kill me. Moreover, the Underworld Palace Master is just a disguise for me. I can abandon this identity at any time. Yang Potian is nothing. He can't do anything to me!"

Chen Xiao stared at the Dragon King, as if he wanted to see through him.

"How many secrets do you have?"

The Dragon King showed his trademark smile again, kind and gentle, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Chen Xiao, we've only met twice today, yet you're already probing my secrets like this. Don't you have a special interest in me?"
