Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He wasn't a fool. These people were all in cahoots. Even if they hadn't discussed it beforehand, with Lin Meier having spoken, they would definitely follow her lead.

"Alright, since you refuse to tell me, I won't make things difficult for you!"

With that, Yuan Mu Ye once again unleashed his Frozen Palm. Instantly, a wave of frigidity erupted from his palm, freezing Lin Meier's upper body.

Now, only Lin Meier's head remained.

Lin Meier immediately blew her top, cursing, "You bastard, I already told you everything I know. Why are you still doing this?"

"Are you sure everything you just told me is true?" Yuan Mu Ye stared into Lin Meier's eyes, questioning her.

Lin Meier grew somewhat flustered. She had merely been placating Yuan Mu Ye, and naturally, she didn't dare meet his gaze.

Yuan Mu Ye keenly caught the hint of panic in her eyes, sneering, "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't speak up now, you won't have the chance later."

If Lin Meier were frozen completely, she definitely wouldn't have a chance to speak.

Lin Meier was already unable to move. If her mouth were to be frozen as well, she would be as good as half-dead.

"Jiang Nan, hurry and save me!" Lin Meier cast a pleading look at the man beside her.

Jiang Nan frowned slightly, looking at Yuan Mu Ye and saying, "Let Meier go. I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Yuan Mu Ye was also taken aback. Wasn't this man's attitude quite forceful just now? How come he was suddenly willing to speak?

He considered it for a moment, concluding it must be because of Lin Meier.

"Alright, as long as you tell me, I'll release her."

Yuan Mu Ye wasn't afraid of them playing tricks, and calmly sat down on the sofa.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Xia You felt even more annoyed, but he didn't dare say anything at this moment.

He was afraid of provoking Yuan Mu Ye, lest he end up like Lin Meier.

"Jiang Nan, are you crazy? What are you going to tell him?" Lin Meier immediately became anxious. She had made such a great sacrifice precisely to avoid telling Yuan Mu Ye about this matter.

Now, Jiang Nan was saying he could tell Yuan Mu Ye everything he wanted to know, which was tantamount to taking her life.

Jiang Nan looked at Lin Meier with a complex expression, and said in a solemn tone, "I know you consider this matter very important, but nothing is more important than your life right now."

In his view, if Lin Meier were to die, none of this would matter anymore.

Lin Meier was stunned. She hadn't expected this man to value her so much. However, she still insisted on preventing Jiang Nan from revealing the truth.

Yuan Mu Ye found their bickering somewhat laughable, but he could also understand it, as it was, after all, a secret.

"Alright, I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you two. Speak quickly. Why did you come here, and what is your relationship with Wang Ming?" Yuan Mu Ye said with a hint of impatience.

Lin Meier rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Do you just like meddling in other people's business so much? Name your price. As long as you don't interfere in our affairs, I'll try my best to satisfy you."

She originally thought this would be enough to get rid of Yuan Mu Ye, but unfortunately, she had oversimplified things.

With Yuan Mu Ye's current status and position, there was nothing he couldn't obtain.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at her with icy eyes and said, "If you think I'm meddling, then I have nothing to say."

With that, he directly sealed Lin Meier's mouth with ice. Listening to Lin Meier's nonsense was truly a headache.

Yuan Mu Ye's time was already very precious, and this woman was still stalling for time. How could he not be annoyed?

Seeing that Lin Meier was almost completely frozen, Jiang Nan immediately became anxious.

"Meier won't die, will she?" Jiang Nan asked anxiously.

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at him indifferently and said, "If you tell me the truth, I guarantee she won't be harmed. But if you dare to lie to me, not only her, but both of you shouldn't even think about leaving here alive tonight."

Hearing these words, both Jiang Nan and Xia You's expressions changed slightly. They could sense that Yuan Mu Ye wasn't joking with them.

"I'll talk, don't hurt Meier. Our relationship with Wang Ming is merely a cooperative one. We're here only to help him take down Yun City," Jiang Nan confessed in one breath.

After learning their purpose for being here, Yuan Mu Ye's heart skipped a beat. He truly never dreamed that the people of the Third Capital City would actually collude with evil spirits and help them conquer Yun City.

These people were even more terrifying than evil spirits!

Yuan Mu Ye took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and asked Jiang Nan, "Are you two from the Shangguan family?"

Jiang Nan didn't answer him, fearing for Lin Meier's safety, and said impatiently, "I've already told you everything you wanted to know. Quickly release Meier!"

"Answer my previous question first," Yuan Mu Ye said coldly.

Jiang Nan sighed and then nodded.

"Yes."

"So it was the Shangguan family who sent you here?"

Yuan Mu Ye stared at Jiang Nan, asking.

Jiang Nan nodded. Since things had already reached this point, he couldn't worry about so much anymore.

Why would the Shangguan family help evil spirits?

Could it be that the Shangguan family had been controlled by evil spirits?

"Do you know why the Shangguan family is helping evil spirits?" Yuan Mu Ye asked curiously.

Jiang Nan immediately shook his head in response, "I really don't know about that. We're just acting on our master's orders."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye didn't continue to press the matter. Just like Jiang Nan said, how would the master's affairs be told to his subordinates?

While he was lost in thought, Jiang Nan asked softly, "Can you release her now?"

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but you can't leave here yet."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Nan's expression changed slightly. He wasn't a fool, so how could he not understand the implied meaning in Yuan Mu Ye's words?

"Are you going to imprison us here?" Jiang Nan asked tentatively.

Yuan Mu Ye shook his head. He wasn't a fool. Imprisoning them here would be the same as creating an opportunity for them to escape.

Jiang Nan wanted to say something more, but Yuan Mu Ye grabbed him. Xia You, realizing the situation was not good, tried to escape, but it was too late. He had just started running when Yuan Mu Ye grabbed him.

"Where are you running off to?"

Yuan Mu Ye had originally planned to let them go, but upon further thought, if he let them go, the other evil spirits would learn about this, and the Shangguan family would definitely take action.

Rather than let things get even worse, it was better to imprison them first.

The best place was the jade stone world.

With Yuan Xiaoyao and the others watching, there was no need to fear these people playing tricks.
