Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"I'll do as you say."

Jiang Yao suppressed her worries and obediently nodded.

Qin Quan then asked:

Where are Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu being held now?

"Qingshi Farm".

"Why are you locked up there?"

Qin Quan was slightly surprised.

Qingshi Farm was originally a research base provided to Lin Wanrou by the Dragon Science Academy. After the Ling Shi project was suspended, the base became the property of the Dragon Science Academy.

Now that Lin Wanrou has joined Hidden Dragon, the base has also been incorporated into Hidden Dragon and has now been changed into Hidden Dragon Jincheng Office.

"I'll go with you later and deal with those two traitorous dogs."

"it is good."

The two quickly finished breakfast and drove to Qingshi Farm.

Qingshi Farm hasn't changed much; the greenhouses are neatly arranged, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables are growing vigorously.

Only the deepest, sealed research lab, made of high-quality steel, has been converted into a prison cell for serious offenders.

Qin Quan and Jiang Yao had just arrived at the entrance when the security guard's report came through the walkie-talkie.

"Reporting to Team Leader Jiang, Fifth Master Qin from the Martial Alliance has arrived."

Jiang Yao's eyes turned cold. She pressed the intercom button and said in a cold voice:

"Let him wait at the door. He is not to come in without my order."

"yes!"

This is her territory, and she has the final say on everything, big or small.

Knowing that Master Qin was up to no good, why bother giving him a friendly look?

Clang!

The heavy prison door slowly opened, and the two walked side by side into the depths of the cell.

In just one day and one night, Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu were already exhausted and in a sorry state.

The two men had disheveled, yellow hair, pale and haggard faces, and their hands and feet were tightly locked in heavy steel shackles, making them unable to move.

His eyes were bloodshot and his spirit was completely broken; he was nothing like his former self.

Upon seeing Jiang Yao and Qin Quan approaching, the two struggled to lift their heavy heads, a glimmer of hope for survival igniting in their eyes.

"Team Leader Jiang, I know I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"I was blinded by greed and in a moment of folly revealed Hidden Dragon's operational plan. I deserve to die! Please, in consideration of all the hard work I've done for the development of Jincheng over the years, show leniency!"

The two wept bitterly, displaying utter humility.

"Shut up!"

Before Jiang Yao could speak, Qin Quan stepped forward and slapped both of them hard across the face.

The force was so strong that it knocked their heads to the side, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.

"Beg for mercy now?"

Qin Quan's eyes were icy, and his voice was like a chilling wind from the depths of hell.

"When you were tipping off others and selling out intelligence, did you never think about the Hidden Dragon team members who died tragically?"

Stop playing the victim.

Qin Quan leaned down, staring sharply at the two of them.

"With your limited access, you have no way of knowing Hidden Dragon's operational plans."

"Tell me, who's behind this?"

"Confess and perform meritorious service; there is still a glimmer of hope."

"If I wait until I personally investigate, you will all die a gruesome death, with no way out!"

The two slaps left Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu completely stunned.

The two stood frozen in place, their minds blank, their hearts churning with endless panic and struggle.

They knew better than anyone that if they confessed now, there was still a sliver of a chance to redeem themselves through leniency.

If they continue to delay with wishful thinking, once Hidden Dragon has secured the evidence, they will have no chance of survival.

Qin Quan took in the changes in their expressions and saw through their inner turmoil and wavering.

So he seized the opportunity and continued to apply pressure, pressing forward step by step.

He raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, his eyes filled with a mocking, cold light.

"Let me guess, who's behind you?"

"Is it Shen Shichang? Or is it Master Qin, who came all the way from Kyoto?"

He paused, then deliberately threw out a fatal question.

"By the way, Fifth Master Qin is right at the farm gate. Do you think if I let him in, he'll kill someone to cover his tracks and eliminate any potential threats, just to protect himself?"

These words struck them like a thunderclap.

Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu's faces turned deathly pale instantly, their bodies trembled violently, their eyes filled with panic, and they involuntarily looked towards the door. Their internal weighing of the pros and cons completely collapsed, and fear overwhelmed all hope.

Seeing that the two had completely broken down and were filled with fear, Qin Quan understood what was going on.

To truly extract information from them and uncover the mastermind behind it all, we need one last drastic measure.

Qin Quan turned to look at Jiang Yao and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Sister Yao, please invite Master Qin in."

"clear."

Jiang Yao instantly understood Qin Quan's intention, turned around and walked straight towards the farm gate, her movements swift and decisive.

After a while.

The heavy prison door was pushed open, and Jiang Yao led a tall figure inside.

Master Qin was over 1.8 meters tall, with a robust build, a square face, and a steady gait. He exuded the imposing aura of a seasoned powerhouse, commanding respect without anger and radiating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Those sharp eyes were icy cold, and the way they looked at Qin Quan was as if they were examining a cold corpse, with no attempt to conceal the killing intent in their eyes.

"What? Trying to intimidate me right after we met?"

Qin Quan remained calm, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he faced the other's imposing aura head-on.

next second.

hum!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Qin Quan's body, and the terrifying pressure, like a monstrous wave, crushed down on Fifth Master Qin.

Qin Wuye's pupils contracted sharply, his heart sank, and he thought to himself: This is bad!

This kid's strength is even more terrifying than the rumors suggest.

He dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately activated all his true energy to resist, but in the end he was still a step too late.

An immense pressure slammed into him.

Qin Wuye felt a huge shock in his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He staggered backward.

pedal!pedal!pedal!

He stumbled back dozens of steps, his back slamming heavily against the cold alloy cell door, barely managing to steady his swaying body.

This scene left Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu, who were standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.

The two men still held onto a sliver of hope, wishing that Fifth Master Qin would intervene, suppress Qin Quan, and save them.

But the scene before them shattered their illusions completely.

A top expert at the peak of the Martial King realm was easily crushed by Qin Quan with just a single pressure.

"What is his cultivation level? Martial Emperor?"

"No! His aura is several times more terrifying than that of a Martial Emperor!"

Their hearts pounded, filled with shock and horror.

In their minds, the Martial Emperor was the pinnacle of martial arts in the Dragon Kingdom, but the strength Qin Quan displayed had already surpassed their understanding.

Qin Wuye clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with fear.

He has cultivated diligently for many years and is firmly at the peak of the Martial King realm, only one step away from becoming a Martial Emperor. Even if he were to face a true Martial Emperor, he would still have the strength to fight.

But in front of Qin Quan, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree, or a firefly trying to compete with the moon; the difference was so vast that it was despairing.

He stared intently at Qin Quan, his voice trembling.

"You're a Martial Emperor? No... your strength surpasses that of a Martial Emperor!"

"Above the Martial Emperor?"

Qin Quan scoffed, "You've come all this way to Jincheng, I'm afraid it wasn't just to protect these two good-for-nothings, was it?"
