Realm of the Night God

Outside the Lecheng city area, in a dense mountain forest, a spatial rift suddenly opened, and a figure was thrown out of the space rift, followed by another figure emerging from the space rift.

These two people were none other than the two demon hunters who had just left the Administrative Bureau.

At this time, the man still had a solemn expression on his face, or to be more precise, his complexion was even more unpleasant than when he was at the Administrative Bureau. In contrast, the woman bound on the ground could not hide the panic in her eyes.

The man waved his hand, releasing the power restraints on the woman.

Without the control of this power, the woman named Yi Jiao immediately regained control of her own body. She struggled to stand up from the ground, and the excruciating pain stimulated her nerves, causing beads of cold sweat to appear on her forehead.

Yang Haoran's previous attack, in Yang Haoran's view, may not have been too harsh, but for Yi Jiao, that attack almost destroyed her. When her body collided with the restriction barrier, the powerful impact not only caused serious internal injuries but also multiple bone fractures.

The pain was undoubtedly severe, and if she were not a demon hunter at the second star level, but an ordinary person, Yang Haoran's attack would have cost her her life. The only reason she could still stand up was because of the star spiritual power within her. Without the support of the star spiritual power, she would not have been able to stand up.

As soon as she struggled to her feet, before Yi Jiao could speak, the man's low voice reached her ears.

"Explain this to me clearly. If there is even a single lie, you know the consequences."

Hearing these words, Yi Jiao couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When she was still a first-star demon hunter, the man in front of her was already a second-star demon hunter, and he had few rivals at that level.

Since she joined the Jingling Continent Demon Hunter Association, she had always followed this man. Her ability to break through to the second-star demon hunter level at such a young age was not due to her own talent, but because she had sufficient resources behind her.

The resources she could obtain were closely related to the man in front of her. If it were not for the man's status in the Jingling Continent Demon Hunter Association, and her following him, she would not have been able to break through to the second-star demon hunter level at this age.

She knew that everything she had obtained so far was given to her by the man in front of her. Since he could give her all this, he could also take it all away.

In addition, over the years, she had also witnessed the man's methods and knew the consequences of angering him. Therefore, she had always had a sense of fear towards him, even though she had now broken through to the second-star demon hunter level, this fear had not dissipated.

It was precisely because of her deep fear of the man that her body involuntarily trembled when she heard his words.

She did not dare to hide anything and immediately informed the man of what had happened.

After listening to her account, the man slapped her face again, furious.

"It seems that you have been living too comfortably in the association, which has made you so ignorant of the realities!"

The man scolded angrily, his face full of fury.

Yi Jiao's mouth bled, and she was somewhat resentful, but out of fear of the man, she did not dare to talk back. She lowered her head and wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Although Lecheng is just a small place, it is far from as simple as you think. Have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to Lecheng this time?" the man asked sternly.

Yi Jiao did not answer, and the man shouted angrily. The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).

"I asked you a question, answer me!"

Yi Jiao did not dare to remain silent any longer and quickly replied.

"It was to investigate the current whereabouts of the two Three-Star Demon Hunters, which is why we came to Lecheng."

The man's expression did not improve after Yi Jiao's answer, but instead became even more unpleasant.

"Since you know the purpose of our trip, why do you have to go off on a tangent? Others just looked at you, and you responded with abusive language and even initiated an attack on them. This is simply courting disaster!"

The easily provoked Yijiao had some dissatisfaction in her heart. Hearing the man's words, she ultimately couldn't hold back and bravely retorted.

"How dare that bumpkin look down on me, he deserves to die!"

A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he delivered another slap.

Slap!!!

"How dare you talk back!"

With this slap, Yijiao immediately became obedient again.

"If the other party is in the wrong, it would be fine for you to attack that Underworld Envoy. But you clearly don't have the upper hand, yet you still initiated the attack. That's not just courting death, that's what it is. The other party has already left you a way out, not killing you. Otherwise, you would be a corpse by now!"

The man glared at Yijiao, paused briefly, and then continued in a cold voice.

"According to the rules of their Yin Division, the Underworld Envoy has the right to kill you in this situation. Do you think the Demon Hunter Association will stand up for you? I can tell you with full responsibility that the Demon Hunter Association will absolutely not stand up for you, because this is your own doing, and you can't blame others. Moreover, your actions will not only bring me tremendous trouble, but also trouble the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch, and even the entire Demon Hunter Association!"

"Hmph, even if the Yin Division spares you, we in the Demon Hunter Association will definitely not let you off. Do you think your physical body dying is the end of it? Your soul will suffer endless torment, and end up with a fate of soul scattering!"

The always dissatisfied Yijiao, after hearing the man's words, finally felt a sense of fear in her heart.

She dared to confront Yang Haoran and act arrogantly because she felt that the Demon Hunter Association was backing her up.

But now, hearing the man's words, she realized that her so-called backing not only wouldn't be of any use, but might even turn against her, which made her heart fill with fear.

"This time, two of our Demon Hunter Association's Three-Star Demon Hunters have gone missing, and we still haven't been able to contact them. Before they went missing, they had just come to Lecheng. According to the information I've obtained, the reason they came to Lecheng was because their son had gone missing, and their son had also previously come to Lecheng. Do you know what this means?"

Yijiao didn't answer, and the man seemed to not expect an answer from her, continuing on his own.

"This means that Lecheng is far more complicated than what we've seen. If my guess is correct, those two Three-Star Demon Hunters are most likely already dead, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared without a trace. As for their son, he's probably not an exception either, and has likely also died."

"Whether they all died in Lecheng, I can't say for sure, but the fact is that they all came to Lecheng before disappearing. So in my view, Lecheng is definitely related to this incident."

"If my guess is correct, and those two Three-Star Demon Hunters did indeed meet their end in Lecheng, will you still look down on Lecheng and have that ridiculous sense of superiority?"

After hearing the man's words, the woman finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Although she was a Two-Star Demon Hunter, she had just recently broken through to this level, and her strength was naturally much stronger than a One-Star Demon Hunter. But compared to the average Two-Star Demon Hunter, her strength was still too weak. Compared to this man in front of her, her strength was completely negligible.

As for Three-Star Demon Hunters, she didn't even dare to imagine their strength. In her eyes, Three-Star Demon Hunters were god-like existences, with strength that she couldn't even fathom.

However, previously, Three-Star Demon Hunters had mysteriously disappeared after coming to Lecheng, and it wasn't just one, but a married couple.

Even if she wasn't very smart, she knew that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. There must be some hidden secrets, and the Lecheng that she had looked down upon as a remote backwater might actually be hiding some formidable monsters.

"I came to the Lecheng Administration Director this time, and had her summon the heads of Lecheng's major forces to the Administrative Bureau, hoping to get some useful information from them. But you, instead of helping, have caused me this kind of trouble, forcing me to leave the Administrative Bureau ahead of time, and in a rather embarrassing manner. You really should be ashamed of yourself!"
