“Name?”
“Lu Huaiben.”
“Where are you from?”
“From the Qianshan area of the Yuanzhao Kingdom.
Wow, a fellow countryman!
Munching Immortal Beans, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow in intrigue, as he, too, hailed originally from the Yuanzhao Kingdom.
Little did he expect the man strung up on the rack before them to hail from the same homeland.
Mi Shuhua shot Luo Chen a glare, then signaled Sikong Shoujia to continue the interrogation.
Lu Huaiben, tied on the iron frame, had been tormented all night. Under various cruel means, he was now barely alive.
As such, he gave answers readily to the questions asked.
Sikong Shoujia continued, “Which faction do you belong to?
“None, I’m a rogue cultivator and live in the Xuelian District.
“What’s the name of your leader?”
“Our leader’s name is Dan Xiu, he’s also a rogue cultivator. We usually make a living by hunting Demon Beasts.”
“If you’re hunting Demon Beasts, why did you plan to murder our Hall Master?
Speak up, were you put up to it by someone?
“No, we just heard that Pill Refiners are wealthy. We planned to make a big score before we move on.”
“Still lying, seems like you haven’t suffered enough!
Sikong Shoujia flashed a stern look. The three silver needles originally inserted into Lu Huaiben’s head now sank a bit further.
“Ahhhh? ”
Lu Huaiben, who had been barely alive, started to tremble violently, very much like a fish jumping about before it dies.
there’s more intelligence.”
“Esteemed young master, I understand.”
Sikong Shoujia grinned mischievously, pulling another silver needle from his person and eyeing Lu Huaiben like a juicy lamb.
Even if cultivators did not specifically focus on body refinement, they were far superior in strength to ordinary people. He had his work cut out for him. Hearing the ongoing cries of agony emanating from the dungeon, Luo Chen shuddered.
At the moment when Sikong Shoujia personally conducted the punishment, Luo Chen almost mistook him for a cruel and demanding nanny.
Wasn’t this old man usually quite amiable?
“Gang Leader, are we usually this brutal when interrogating criminals?” “Yes the original Broken Mountain Gang did have a Tribunal Hall. Later, I thought it wasn’t so good and had it disbanded. Before its disbanding, Elder Sikong once served as the Hall Master of the Tribunal for a while. What do you think? His technique is not bad, right? Once he gets to work, the man turns like a cheap drum, spilling all their secrets.”
Luo Chen quickly shook his head, “I’m not talking about that. Don’t you, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, have techniques like soul-searching or mesmerizing to interrogate?”
As soon as he finished this sentence, Luo Chen noticed a change in the atmosphere.
Seen from the corner of his eyes, Mi Shuhua was looking at him with surprise.
“Where did you hear about these?”
Luo Chen carefully answered, “From the chatter at the market of rogue cultivators.”
Mi Shuhua shook his head, “Whether it’s soul-searching or mesmerizing, they are all wicked techniques. Here in our Yu Ding Realm, or in any of the Six Realms of the Far East, such techniques are strictly forbidden.”
“Really? I don’t believe it!” Luo Chen asserted confidently, “I heard that those seductive creatures in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion are quite proficient in these!”
Hehe, that’s an entirely different technique.
Mi Shuhua let out a slight chuckle.
The two walked and eventually emerged from the underground passage. By this time, light had already fully dawned, following the night.
Luo Chen had returned late the previous night. Even after a long chase, he hadn’t managed to catch up with Dan Xiu who held the Ninth Level Qi
Refinement.
A Water Displacement Talisman was an uncommon item, but was actually a genuine Five Elements Escaping Technique – Water Escape.
Within the Five Elements Escaping Techniques, the most basic were all Second Order Techniques.
Once activated, you could traverse hundreds of li in an instant.
Furthermore, Dan Xiu hailed from the Xuelian District, where most people were adept at concealment techniques. Mi Shuhua searched half the night, but still didn’t catch him..
