They first arrived at the prison where the incident occurred last night to observe the situation.

They found a large hole in the wall of the prison where Lin Yifan was held, not sure who was responsible.

From the scattered bricks on the ground, they deduced that the hole was made from the inside out, which means it was created by someone in the adjacent cell, implying activity in that cell.

Why do they say that? Because in the adjacent cell, they couldn't find any bricks fallen on the ground, so the force came from that cell and struck Lin Yifan's cell.

Why did this person break into Lin Yifan's cell? They guessed that this person was definitely there to rescue Lin Yifan because the clan wouldn't take such great efforts to attack one person in this manner.

In other words, Ding Huo was in the adjacent cell, not on the first-floor cell.

This conflicted with what the prison guards stated, so the clan asked, "Are you sure Ding Huo was held in the first-floor cell last night?"

"Absolutely, I saw him in the prison when I came down," a prison guard replied.

"Then how do you explain this hole?" the clan questioned.

"Well... We can't explain it either! Ding Huo has superpowers, he can do anything. Who knows when he escaped?" the prison guard responded innocently.

In fact, the guard was right; trying to imprison a cultivation expert in such a cell is simply wishful thinking.

They must investigate Ding Huo thoroughly to find out who he truly is.

They observed and found another suspicious sign—the iron window bars in the cell had been bent.

Someone should have left the cell through the window last night, but whether it was someone from the clan, they couldn't be sure.

"Let's hope they all escaped!" the clan members investigating the case prayed.

Moreover, there were marks of a struggle in the cell, indicating a fierce battle occurred here last night.

However, if that's the case, why is there not a drop of blood on the ground? Did no one get hurt? If no one got hurt, why didn't they return or send any messages? What were they trying to do? Were they captured and imprisoned? Or were their bodies destroyed?

Layers of fog swirled around the hearts of every clan member investigating this case, as they were uncertain about last night's outcome.

There was nothing more to investigate in the cell, so they had to check the surveillance footage in various parts of the prison to see if any suspicious individuals had entered.

At ten last night, the first batch of clan assassins entered the cell, and no one came out during their stay.

At ten fifteen, the second batch of the clan's elite assassins entered the cell; after entering, they too did not come out.

From the surveillance footage in the corridor, it was clear that either the clan members all escaped through the window, or they vanished into thin air.

But with more than a dozen people, how could they vanish into thin air?

So, they guessed that the clan members might have escaped through the window.

Immediately, they looked for cameras that could monitor the window of this cell.

After searching, they couldn't find a single camera that could monitor the window of this cell. In other words, this window was in a blind spot.

Actually, you can't blame the prison for this.

This cell was on the fifth floor, such a high place where no one usually lived, who would bother installing a camera behind its window to monitor it year-round?

Although this area was not covered, if someone escaped through the window and walked on the ground, they might be captured by cameras installed in various places.

So, they obtained surveillance footage from every corner of the prison for the time period from the second batch of assassins entering the cell to the prison guards checking the cell, to see if any figures appeared in the prison yard.

After observing for a while, they suddenly saw a figure flying through the air, heading southwest, not sure why.

Unfortunately, due to the speed and the dark night, they couldn't see the figure clearly and didn't know who it was.

Then they played it in slow motion to look for clues.

Even when slowed down, the figure remained fuzzy, and under the dark night, they couldn't tell whether this person's clothes were black or another color.

Following this person's flight direction, they checked surveillance footage along the way, hoping to find the figure again.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see this person again in any other camera.

"Alas!" the clan members sighed in frustration, just one step away from uncovering the truth, but fate didn't allow them to know it.

From the surveillance, it was clear someone flew out from the cell, but whether that person was from the clan, they didn't know.

Last night's action involved more than a dozen clan members; if escaping, they should all have escaped together, right? Why was someone acting alone?

They found it suspicious; this figure flying through the air might not be a clan member.

If not a clan member, who could it be? Lin Yifan? Ding Huo? Why did they come out? To destroy bodies?

The more they thought, the more confused they got; the more confused, the more scared they became; because they didn't know how Lin Yifan and Ding Huo handled more than a dozen clan members in such a short period.

It seemed it was time to contact Lin Yifan and Ding Huo.

So they asked the prison guards to summon Lin Yifan for interrogation.

Lin Yifan was suddenly taken away by the prison guards again, causing Ding Huo to worry; he then threatened, "If you dare to assassinate my brother again, I will slaughter all the prison guards."

The guard escorting Lin Yifan was terrified; ever since learning Ding Huo was a powerful cultivator, they no longer dared to offend him.

Even the clan members were wary, let alone these lowly prison guards.

Then they patiently explained, "Rest assured, Ding Huo, we are just asking Lin Yifan to answer some questions, nothing else will happen."

"It better be that way!" Ding Huo snorted coldly, his face full of anger.

With Ding Huo, the "Senior Brother," around, Lin Yifan no longer feared assassination attempts by the clan. So he boldly followed the prison guards without any resistance.

In the interrogation room, the police began questioning: "Did anyone have ill intentions towards you last night?"

The clan members were in the next room watching the interrogation live; they dared not appear in the interrogation room because it would break the rules and cause a bad social impact. Moreover, if they were on site, Lin Yifan might not tell the truth; after considering it, they decided to hide and watch Lin Yifan's response.

"Yes! A big group!" Lin Yifan answered directly, unrestrained.
