"I never had a sister, so naturally I don’t have a brother-in-law."
Anna said coldly, "Ye Haochuan, stop pretending. You killed my child’s father, and when the child grows up, I will have him seek revenge on you!"
With that, she picked up Liu Chengyu’s corpse and flew away on her sword.
But at this mont, Ye Haochuan suddenly moved. Anna only felt her back being tapped a few tis, her Innate Realm cultivation suddenly vanished. The flying sword, no longer driven by spiritual energy, instantly fell into the sea.
Ye Haochuan stored Liu Chengyu’s corpse in a ring and said to Anna, "You have already made one mistake. As your brother-in-law, it’s my responsibility to ensure you don’t make another!"
"Let go, you jerk..."
Anna cursed continuously, but Ye Haochuan ignored her, holding her as they flew towards the United States.
Before long, the figures of Ye Haochuan and An Li appeared in New York, USA.
Taking a woman forcibly was inconvenient, so Ye Haochuan placed Anna in a hotel, dominantly took her ring and all her valuables.
Now that she has no cultivation and no money, leaving is impossible. Ye Haochuan contacted An Li, explained Anna’s situation, and asked her to send soone to take care of her.
The Dragon Network has grown considerably in scale, and accordingly, there are intelligence personnel in the United States too.
Concerned about Lin Qingxuan’s safety, after settling Anna, Ye Haochuan couldn’t wait to fly towards the place where Lin Zixuan disappeared.
This was an abandoned villa area, the courtyard was large but overgrown with weeds, the buildings were dilapidated.
Ye Haochuan activated his perspective and carefully scanned the entire villa, not finding a trace of Lin Zixuan. However, he spotted a familiar figure in the center of the villa.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Haochuan arrived in the center of the villa and asked, puzzled.
"Vice Alliance Hierarch Huo said they might need here, so they sent !" The person wasn’t anyone else, but Yue Deng, known as the Tracker Tiger.
Ye Haochuan felt a warmth in his heart, realizing that in his rush to leave, he forgot that the Long Alliance had such professional talents. Unexpectedly, Huo ngyao had thought of this, proving the suitability of her title as a virtuous assistant.
"Have you found anything?" Ye Haochuan, not wanting idle chit-chat, asked directly.
Upon hearing the question, Yue Deng furrowed his brow, "There are so discoveries, but the other party was extrely clean with their actions, leaving very little evidence."
"Tell !"
"Firstly, Lin Zixuan’s current cultivation is at the Innate Early Stage. To subdue her so easily, the person must be at least at the Innate Peak, or even in the Foundation Establishnt Stage."
"That doesn’t make sense! We don’t have any enemies in the United States, why would soone send a Foundation Establishnt Stage expert to deal with an Innate Early Stage novice?" Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
"I think so too!" Yue Deng nodded, "I investigated, and the only ones active frequently in this area are the Western Holy See and the Dark Church."
"The Western Holy See doesn’t have any motivation for such actions right now, but the Dark Church seems to have a ritual going on recently!"
"A ritual?" Ye Haochuan looked puzzled.
"Alliance Hierarch, you might not be very familiar with the Dark Church. It mainly consists of two parts: one is the Blood Clan, the infamous Vampires; the other, the Human Clan followers of the Evil God."
Yue Deng explained ticulously, "This ritual is an event where the Human Clan of the Dark Church sacrifices to the Evil God. It is said that each sacrifice must involve a maiden with a dark physique as the main offering."
Ye Haochuan understood that Yue Deng implied Lin Qingxuan might have this physique and was thus captured. Lin Zixuan was caught by the Dark Church to rescue Lin Qingxuan.
"How can we confirm if Qingxuan has a dark physique?"
"There’s no way to confirm it now, but since the ritual is tonight, we can definitely try. I’m 80% sure the two events are related," Yue Deng affird.
"Alright! We’ll raid this Dark Church tonight."
Ye Haochuan cast an approving glance at Yue Deng, acknowledging the latter’s prowess as the Tracker Tiger, gathering so much intel and proposing such logical deductions in a short ti.
Ye Haochuan was certain that if he had co alone, the task wouldn’t be so easy. Not that he wasn’t as skilled as Yue Deng, but there’s specialized expertise required. Huo ngyao’s decision to let Yue Deng assist him this ti was indeed the wisest.
Following Yue Deng through nurous alleys for half an hour, Ye Haochuan arrived at a skyscraper.
"You an the Dark Church is in such a bustling place?" Ye Haochuan questioned suspiciously.
The Dark Church, as the na suggests, is a despised existence. Given the relentless pursuit by the Western Holy See, they should be hiding in the shadows, not in such a place, right?
"This is the so-called ’the darkest place is under the candle’. The more crowded the place, the less noticeable it becos," Yue Deng said sagely, "However, the Dark Church can’t operate ostentatiously in such a place. Their gathering spot is underground."
Saying this, Yue Deng led Ye Haochuan to the elevator entrance in the underground parking. Skillfully avoiding various caras, they discreetly opened the external door of the elevator and jumped directly into the elevator shaft.
Ye Haochuan then discovered a square iron plate at the very bottom of the elevator shaft. Lifting the iron plate revealed a pitch-black passage below.
"Even though this place is hidden, shouldn’t the elevator maintenance personnel easily discover it?" Ye Haochuan frowned.
"The elevator managers here, naturally, are their people!" Yue Deng explained, then promptly jumped into the passage.
Ye Haochuan realized that the Dark Church used the na of the elevator company to control many elevator entrances in buildings, establishing bases underground without a trace.
Thanks to Yue Deng’s adept tracking skills, otherwise, Ye Haochuan might never have thought the entrance to the Dark Church would be in such a place.
They descended the passage for about one to two hundred ters before reaching the bottom. Such a depth would be challenging even for a Nascent Soul Stage expert to detect.
At the bottom, there were two guards at the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Ye Haochuan initially considered killing them but was surprised when Yue Deng took out two tokens from his ring and handed them over, after which the guards let them pass.
"How co you seem so familiar with this place?" After passing the guards, Ye Haochuan eyed Yue Deng warily.
"Alliance Hierarch, don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not one of the Dark Church!"
Yue Deng explained, "It’s just that my master had been here before. When I found the matter related to the Dark Church, I specially asked my master, so I beca familiar."
"Really?" Ye Haochuan’s face was full of doubt.
