Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Name of the Black Emperor!Qiu Mohan was both astonished and delighted. She had never expected that this legendary figure from Dragon Soul, Lord Dragon King himself, would know her name! This was simply too unexpected for her! "Sir, Qiu Mohan formally reports to you!" Qiu Mohan quickly composed herself, her expression solemn as she spoke. "Mm." A faint hum came through the phone as a response to her, and then that aged voice said, "Qiu Mohan, I know you. You are now a third-level captain in Dragon Soul. You must be calling this number for a reason?" This secret number, possessed by Dragon Soul captains of level three and above, was meant for reporting special incidents to superiors. Hearing this, Qiu Mohan became even more excited. Not only does the sir know my name, but he also knows my position in Dragon Soul? She contained her excitement, glanced at Ye Xuan, and spoke seriously, "Yes, sir, I indeed have an issue to report to you..." "Let’s hear it; there’s nothing you can’t solve." Just as Qiu Mohan was about to speak, a faint voice came from beside her. "I didn’t ask you to call to catch up on old times." Ye Xuan let out a cold laugh, his hands forcefully flinging two men he was holding, sending them flying like trash, seven or eight meters away. Bang bang! They landed heavily on the ground, seeing stars and violently coughing as they lay there. "Who is that?" The aged voice on the other side now sharpened. "Too much nonsense, I’ll talk to him." Ye Xuan strode forward, snatching the communicator from Qiu Mohan’s hand. Qiu Mohan looked shocked. Somehow, before she knew it, the phone had ended up in Ye Xuan’s hands, as if she had no strength to resist. Noticing the change on this side, the other end of the phone went silent. After a moment, that heavy voice inquired, "Sir, to snatch the phone from Qiu Mohan’s hand, your strength is notable. May I ask which friend this is?" "Long Yan, it seems you’re getting more muddled the older you get, not knowing who I am?" Ye Xuan’s mouth curved into a playful smile as he spoke lazily. Another silence ensued. Until finally, a long sigh came through, "Ah... Black Emperor, it’s been a while!" "Old man, it seems you’re not that senile after all." Ye Xuan quipped, "I think, you’re really turning into a real old turtle! Ever since our last parting, you’ve been hiding away. You’ve really mastered the art of hiding! By the way, you’re not dead yet, are you?" Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Qiu Mohan felt her world was collapsing. Incredulous! One of the highest leaders of Dragon Soul, the venerable and esteemed Lord Dragon King himself, was being called an old turtle by Ye Xuan! And he was being asked blatantly when he was going to die? This was simply unbelievable! Had she not witnessed it with her own eyes, she could never imagine that someone would dare to show such disrespect to the Dragon King. Meanwhile, Dragon King’s face was covered in black lines, his lips twitching as he said, "This old man is in good health and hopes to live a few more years." "Oh well, let me know when you do die, and I’ll come to your funeral," Ye Xuan smiled broadly. Dragon King: "..." "Black Emperor, using Qiu Mohan to call me, you surely weren’t concerned about my health, were you?" Dragon King said. Ye Xuan got straight to the point, "My teammate, Eagle, is missing. The last clue we traced points to your Dragon Soul." "Rubbish! What has my teammate’s disappearance got to do with our Dragon Soul?" Qiu Mohan replied coldly. Ye Xuan glanced at her and spoke indifferently, "I just want to clear this up. Eagle is my brother; if anyone dares to lay a finger on him and I find out, they won’t get off easily! If it weren’t for the fact that this matter is suspicious, I would have destroyed your Dragon Soul long ago." "Hmph, such arrogance. You think you can destroy our Dragon Soul? Who do you think you are?" Qiu Mohan snorted, finding Ye Xuan too conceited, especially saying he’d destroy Dragon Soul right in front of the Dragon King of the North. The Dragon King of the North was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Eagle’s disappearance has nothing to do with us..." "I’m also unclear who’s trying to smear Dragon Soul, but I assure you, it wasn’t us." Hearing this, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, "Can you guarantee that none of your men did this without your knowledge?" The Dragon King replied, "I know my men well; they are all rigorously selected. Without my orders, no one would act rashly." Since even the Dragon King of the North said so, it seemed like someone really might be trying to frame them. Could it really have been those guys? Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. There was still no evidence, he could only hope that Kirin would find some clues soon. "Long Yan, for now, I’ll take your word for it. But remember, my group and your Dragon Soul usually don’t cross paths. If I find out Eagle’s disappearance really has something to do with you, it would mean you have deceived me, and the Blood Sword Mercenary Group will be your fate!" Ye Xuan’s gaze turned into a fierce and chilling look as he spoke in a detached tone. What! The Blood Sword Mercenary Group? "You... you destroyed the Blood Sword Mercenary Group?" The Dragon King’s voice was filled with shock. Qiu Mohan was also incredulous, "This... how is that possible!" The Blood Sword Mercenary Group was among the top ten in the Mercenary Alliance, very powerful, and even feared by Dragon Soul. But a month ago, news came that the stronghold of the Blood Sword Mercenary Group had been annihilated—all 108 members slaughtered! This explosive news had once shocked the entire Dark World, but the perpetrator never appeared. Nobody knew who had wiped out the Blood Sword Mercenary Group overnight; it remained a mystery. Many speculated they must have offended some powerful force to have been destroyed like that. But now, Ye Xuan was telling them, the one who slaughtered the Blood Sword Mercenary Group was him... alone! This was absolutely unbelievable. "Who knows if what you say is true or false? I’m warning you on behalf of Dragon Soul, no matter who you are! If you dare to cross Yan Country’s line, I will make every effort to capture you and completely erase you!" Qiu Mohan warned icily. She truly believed Ye Xuan was bluffing, bluffing without any basis! "Believe it or not." Ye Xuan smirked, tossing the phone over as he spoke indifferently. Qiu Mohan instinctively caught it. Whoosh! However, just then, Ye Xuan moved like lightning, appearing right in front of Qiu Mohan. "You..." Qiu Mohan was shocked. Before she could react, a hand swiftly reached out and clutched her throat, lifting her off the ground. Qiu Mohan’s face turned pale, and she was extremely terrified as she gathered her strength to struggle. But no matter how much she struggled or how much force she used, those large hands were like unbreakable iron clamps, intensifying her fear! At this moment, the smile had disappeared from Ye Xuan’s face. His pitch-black eyes were coldly fixed on Qiu Mohan, who he held up in mid-air, his killing intent apparent as he said, "Listen, girl, I never take threats from anyone! Stupid woman, let me tell you something—on this earth, no one can restrict my freedom, not you! Not Dragon Soul! Not even the Dragon King of the North!"
