131: Demon Palace

The position of heir was completely settled, and Dragon Feather left the Imperial City that day, heading towards the Borderlands.

The location was precisely where Qin Jiang had intruded into the Divine Dragon Empire; several Generals had been killed there by Qin Jiang, leaving vacancies.

Qin Jiang and Dragon Xiner also did not stay in the Imperial Palace for too long.

The Divine Dragon Emperor, both openly and secretly, was expressing goodwill towards Qin Jiang.

In response, Qin Jiang merely gave a slight reply.

Dragon Princess Residence.

Black Dragon came to Qin Jiang's side, bowed slightly, and then spoke:

"Young Master, Dragon Feather has already left the Imperial City."

"Anything else?"

"Before leaving, Dragon Feather secretly went to a place and met with someone. We investigated, and the other party is a force called the Devil Hall.

Furthermore, this force frequently causes trouble in the Divine Dragon Empire. It can be said to be a cancerous tumor within the Divine Dragon Empire. The Divine Dragon Emperor has sent people to encircle and suppress the Devil Hall multiple times, but the results have not been significant."

Black Dragon replied.

Hearing this, a hint of interest appeared on Qin Jiang's face.

He was clear about the Devil Hall; it should have been Dragon Feather's enemy, eventually eliminated by Dragon Feather to become his stepping stone. But now, they were actually colluding?

Tsk, this plot has changed quite a bit.

Is Dragon Feather directly going to become a demon Cultivator?

"Young Master, should we directly eliminate this Devil Hall?"

A fierce glint appeared on Black Dragon's face.

Qin Jiang shook his head:

"Why destroy such a good organization?"

The Devil Hall's strength was not weak. It was just that, due to being Demon Cultivators, they were not accepted by the world. However, whether something was divine or demonic, wasn't it all just decided by those in power?

In this Divine Dragon Empire, Qin Jiang was the one in power. If he said the Devil Hall was demonic, then it was definitely demonic. But if he said the Devil Hall was divine, the Devil Hall could also all be good people.

"Go incorporate them."

Qin Jiang pondered for a moment, then said:

"Give them a few flying ships, let them go into the Chaos to be Chaos Marauders. Leave them one-tenth of the profits, and hand over the rest to the Qin Family."

The current Qin Family was in a period of rapid development. A single Tianxuan Continent couldn't support everyone, let alone when the entire Tianxuan Continent was now the Qin Family's territory.

They couldn't just develop the main Family; they had to let other families get some benefits too.

This way, resources became even more strained.

Therefore, Qin Jiang had long considered cultivating some bandits and throwing them into the Chaos to rob.

Many large clans also did this.

The Devil Hall was a ready-made force; it would be a waste not to use them.

Black Dragon agreed and left directly.

...

In a secluded corner, there was a desolate noodle shop. Many people who came here would walk around the shop.

A cold aura emanated from the noodle shop.

A hunchbacked Old Senior with a face full of pockmarks stood at the entrance of the noodle shop, a smile on his face. But due to his appearance, this smile seemed extremely terrifying instead.

Passersby who saw the Old Senior quickly avoided him, their faces full of disgust.

Until a group of people walked straight towards the Old Senior.

Bang!

Before they even reached the Old Senior, the burly man in black armor at the front directly slapped the Old Senior down, then waved his arm:

"Hold him down!"

This burly man was precisely Black Dragon.

Before Dragon Feather left, he had come to see this Old Senior. To take down the Devil Hall, they naturally had to start with this Old Senior.

Black Dragon's slap left the Old Senior somewhat stunned.

It wasn't until he was held down that he reacted, struggling violently and shouting:

"Who are you people? Why are you hitting this old man?

This is the Imperial City, right under the Son of Heaven's feet! You disregard the law! Quickly let go of this old man!"

The Old Senior shouted.

Black Dragon sneered:

"Apply the torture."

Whether you're hard-boned or soft-boned, start with a round of severe torture!

"Ah!"

Under the severe torture, the Old Senior cried out miserably.

Before long, quite a few people gathered around. Looking at the various forms of torture, everyone felt their scalps tingle and their faces turn pale.

It was too terrifying!

After a round of severe torture, the Old Senior was already on his last breath. Black Dragon said indifferently:

"Heal him."

No one dared to disturb them. Even the Imperial City's guards, upon seeing Black Dragon, immediately left, not daring to get involved in this mess at all.

They helped the Old Senior recover a bit.

His spirit was almost on the verge of collapse. Looking at Black Dragon and the others, his expression was full of fear:

"You..."

"I ask, you speak."

Black Dragon spoke.

The Old Senior nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate at all, afraid that Black Dragon would be in a bad mood and give him another round of torture.

Black Dragon was very satisfied with the Old Senior's performance:

"Are you from the Devil Hall?"

"Yes."

"Do you know where the Devil Hall's headquarters are?"

"I don't know.

However, I know of a dozen or so people from the Devil Hall who are hidden in the Imperial City. I can take you there, sir."

The Old Senior was already telling them everything he knew.

Soon, under the Old Senior's guidance, Black Dragon captured over a dozen more. Several of them directly committed suicide, while the rest were all subjected to a round of severe torture.

The methods were simple, brutal, quick, and effective.

Next, in just three short days, they didn't know how many people were arrested, and among them, there were inevitably some wrongly apprehended.

But Black Dragon was not from the Divine Dragon Empire and didn't care about these things at all. His current task was to find the Devil Hall's headquarters and incorporate the Devil Hall.

The rest would be cleaned up by the Divine Dragon Emperor.

Qin Jiang naturally knew about Black Dragon's actions. As for the Devil Hall's headquarters, he knew where it was, but he didn't tell Black Dragon.

Black Dragon was one of his trusted subordinates; his abilities still needed to be tempered.

Otherwise, if he had to do everything himself, what was the point of keeping so many subordinates?

Up until now, Qin Jiang was quite satisfied with Black Dragon's actions. Although they were a bit brutal, they were effective.

In five days, Black Dragon determined the Devil Hall's headquarters.

He immediately reported to Qin Jiang. Following that, Qin Jiang had the Fourth Ancestor and others take action.

The Devil Hall's strength was not weak. Without Great Emperor level experts, it would indeed be difficult to take them down.

...

Deep mountains!

They were covered in mist year-round, with visibility less than ten meters. Countless people had been lost in the mist. Gradually, fewer and fewer people entered the deep mountains.

No one knew that this mist was not naturally formed.

Nor did they know that the people lost within it were completely because...

They saw the Devil Hall!

Yes!

The Devil Hall was right in these deep mountains!

They were hidden within, like devils, devouring every Cultivator who entered the deep mountains. This also made the place the infamous Ghost Mist Forest.

Today.

Black Dragon and others arrived at the Ghost Mist Forest.

The number of people wasn't large, but they were all elites, and there were even four Great Emperors accompanying them.

The Fourth Ancestor stood in the void, looking towards the depths of the Ghost Mist Forest, his eyes slightly narrowed:

"There really are quite a few people."

Saying this, he looked at Black Dragon and smiled:

"Little Hei, when this Emperor makes a move later, I'll suppress them. You just need to handle the negotiations."

"Yes."

Black Dragon agreed.

The Fourth Ancestor grabbed Black Dragon, leaped up, and soared into the Ghost Mist Forest.
