In the corridor leading directly to the deepest "lightless water prison".
Yan Wulu walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Surrounded by him were many torturers and dungeon guards, including Youlai Junchen...
During this period of time, Lai Junchen seemed to have changed back to his former self, the young man with fanaticism in his eyes.
The last time he found Yan Wulu, he said to Yan Wulu——
"Excessive torture has no effect on cultivating the prisoner's dependence. On the contrary, it can easily make the other party's fear too high, causing the torture to fail."
"...However, it is precisely because of fear that there is dependence."
Lai Junchen said with burning eyes, "...So, after we give Yun Qingzhi a proper punishment, it should be up to you, the Crown Prince, to personally bring a ray of light to her."
…
The moss-covered stone door slowly rises again.
The woman at the bottom of the water cell was suddenly stimulated by the light. She trembled habitually at first. After seeing the person clearly, she relaxed as if she breathed a sigh of relief...
Yan Wulu keenly captured these details.
He was glad in his heart that Yun Qingzhi was not the kind of character who was good at pretending.
He even felt that Yun Qingzhi, after losing the mysterious blessing of being an immortal and losing the protection of a powerful person, had now even become his prisoner.
It seems that she is not as arrogant and untouchable as imagined.
She is fragile...
Yan Wulu thought to himself, he slowly inserted the torch aside, and the small water prison was once again illuminated by the firelight.
"I haven't seen you for seven days, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight..."
Yan Wulu looked at the woman at the bottom of the water prison. The original white brocade clothes had become ugly and worn out due to countless dyeings, tears, and fading.
The originally blue river water at the bottom of the prison became very chaotic due to the inflow of red blood.
The woman's face is still beautiful, but she is too thin, and her energy is far less than it was seven days ago...
Will puppets lose weight too?
Yan Wulu secretly sighed at the magic of this machine technique, which allowed a soul body to act like a living person with a body.
"Actually, there isn't much grudge between you and me."
"...In the matter between Xiao Zichen and me, although I was not responsible for taking the bones, the beneficiary is me after all, so I can't forgive him."
Yan Wulu said.
He did not go directly this time, nor did he contact Yun Qingzhi again.
"...However, there is no guilt for the common man, and he is guilty of carrying a treasure. In a world where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, there is nothing we can do about it."
Yan Wulu said quietly without any intention of blaming himself.
Yun Qingzhi didn't respond at all, which made Yan Wulu feel as if he was playing the piano to a cow.
Yan Wulu stopped talking and asked the same three questions as last time.
The corner of the other party's mouth moved slightly, but in the end he still didn't answer.
Yan Wulu immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
"I have a lot of things to do. It seems I can't come here every seven days."
"...Come next time, maybe it will be a little longer. You should think about it more."
"...If you don't cooperate with the answer next time, Lai Junchen will tell you that we may have to find a new place for you. That place is not as good as here."
Yan Wulu said and walked out.
The figure in blood-stained white clothes was about to speak, but found that the figure in front of him had disappeared along with all the light.
"Why... you have to walk so fast."
"...Can't you just wait a little longer?"
Yun Qingzhi seemed to be sobbing, her voice was not clear, but this was not what Yan Wulu cared about.
Because, he does still have a lot of things to deal with.
…
Fourteen days later.
Yan Wulu came to the "lightless water prison" again.
His timbre is as beautiful as the guzheng. At this moment, he is not involved, but he seems to be speaking sincerely, which really makes people feel dangerous and fascinating.
"The torturers in the palace dungeon are all carefully selected. They will not torture you privately, and of course, they will not do other unbearable things to you."
"...But this time, if I change you to a worse prison, I'm not sure whether the guards there will have no interest in you."
"Why on earth...are you doing this to me..."
Yun Qingzhi seemed to be sobbing, and her voice was not clear, but these were not what Yan Wulu cared about.
"First question, what is your master's discipline?"
"..."
"Second question, your level of immortal strength..."
"..."
"The third question is, why did all the immortals suddenly disappear?"
"..."
Three questions were asked, with increasing depth, but there was still silence.
Yan Wulu didn't stop, stretched out his hand to take down the torch and prepared to leave...
"Wait! Please wait a little longer..."
A shrill shout stopped Yan Wulu, who had turned around. Yan Wulu stopped where he was and did not speak.
"What if I only answer two questions?"
"It's all up to you..." Yan Wulu said coldly.
"The second question is that according to the strength of Taoist monks back then, I am at the level of an eighth-level loose immortal. However, in my current state of soul and body, I am afraid I cannot afford this level."
"...The third question is that before the immortal disappeared, I had been seriously injured and my body was destroyed. I was cultivating in the [Soul Ancient Ring]. I don't know much about it, but I know that this matter is Ji
Huaxianzun did it all with his own strength."
Jihua Immortal Lord?
It is this name again that the "Five-armored Demon Puppet" of Yaowang Valley was also given by him and passed down.
Yan Wulu did not expect that Jihua Immortal Lord would actually do something like this in the matter of "the disappearance of the immortal", which was considered an unexpected gain.
Yan Wulu held a torch in one hand and walked down the stairs.
The bright light of the torch made Yun Qingzhi feel uncomfortable for a moment.
Yun Qingzhi turned her head.
Yan Wulu squatted slightly and pulled the hair on his cheek behind his ear...
"Very good, you answered my two questions."
"...This place is too dirty. I have to change you to a cleaner water cell first."
Yan Wulu said quietly, and then left, leaving only Yun Qingzhi hanging down powerlessly in the darkness...
…
Three days later, Yan Wulu came to the palace dungeon again.
This time Yan Wulu specially shortened the time interval.
Moreover, what Yan Wulu went to this time was no longer the "lightless water prison" in the deepest part of the dungeon, but another much larger stone room, and the river water at the bottom was also much clearer.
"Are you awake? Let's start today's questions?"
Yan Wulu quietly looked at Yun Qingzhi in front of him who seemed to have just woken up from a nap.
Yun Qingzhi actually changed into a new white dress now. Although the texture seems not as good as the previous one, it is at least very clean, but it also seems to have broken a lot due to the whip...
It seems that Lai Junchen is indeed using a lot of force now, but it seems that he is a little too hard.
Yan Wulu thought to himself, he felt that if it weren't for the fact that he agreed to help Junchen to assist in the torture, otherwise, he would not like to participate in such a thing.
Being a torturer is indeed not a profession that ordinary people can do.
"First question, which sect is your master?"
"..."
"Second question, are you the only immortal left in this world?"
"Yes."
"The third question is, what kind of existence is Jihua Immortal Lord?"
"A great Immortal Lord, an existence that was once beyond the reach of countless cultivators..."
After Yun Qingzhi answered, her whole body bowed down again.
Yan Wulu walked in slowly, thoughtfully.
He approached Yun Qingzhi and slowly said -
"You answered two of my questions, but one of them is false..."
After saying that, Yan Wulu stood up and prepared to leave, and Youyou continued: "It seems that I can only go deeper to see you next time."
"Wait! Can I...answer again?" Yun Qingzhi said urgently.
"The second question... Back then, Immortal Ji Hua led the immortal world to ascend and disappear from this world. All the immortals should indeed have disappeared from this world."
"...However, I can vaguely feel that there is still the aura of immortals in the world. But that may be an immortal ruins, or it may be... other immortals."
After answering, Yun Qingzhi suddenly burst into tears. This was also the first time she really cried loudly...
"very good."
Yan Wulu was about to leave, but Yun Qingzhi suddenly said——
"Wait a minute, can you...please talk to me for a while?"
When Yan Wulu heard this, he suddenly stopped.
Yun Qingzhi didn't know why she spoke like this for a while.
Perhaps deep down in her heart, she hopes that the other person can stay here forever, so that there will be no silence and darkness like death...
It's like a kind of sweet honey spread on the blade of a knife, knowing the danger, but still can't stop licking it.
Yan Wulu was also slightly confused in his heart...
But he still maintained a calm expression on his face. He turned around and came to Yun Qingzhi, squatted down and said calmly——
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Yun Qingzhi raised her head and looked at the handsome man in front of her who made her reach new heights again and again, but at this moment she couldn't feel any hatred.
As if she had swallowed her saliva, she spoke with difficulty——
"You...can give me a cell with light...no, a water cell, or leave an oil lamp, as long as it doesn't go out..."
"Answer me one more question, and I can change you to a more comfortable room right now."
"good!"
"Who is your master?" This is a question that Yun Qingzhi has never answered.
Yan Wulu specifically raised this issue.
When Yun Qingzhi heard this, she immediately fell into a deathly silence...
Yan Wulu slowly stood up.
Yun Qingzhi wanted to speak, but finally stopped...
And just when Yan Wulu was about to leave, Yun Qingzhi suddenly said——
"Can you change it? I... please..."
Yan Wulu stopped, couldn't help but laugh at himself, and said slowly——
"Your... name." He asked the simplest question.
Yun Qingzhi had tears in her eyes and said: "Yun Qingzhi!"
Yan Wulu came to Yun Qingzhi. He submerged directly into the water of the water prison, but his figure was still much larger than Yun Qingzhi's.
Yun Qingzhi looked at the man in front of her in shock, wondering why he suddenly came down...
At this moment, Yan Wulu was surrounded by blue and golden inner energy. He stretched out his hand and immediately took hold of Yun Qingzhi's hands that were bound by chains.
The blue and golden internal energy in his hand flowed, and the huge chain was instantly shaken open by the powerful internal force.
Yun Qingzhi has been imprisoned here, but she has not noticed that the dark iron chains that originally bound her have been replaced by ordinary iron chains that can be easily broken open by any internal force.
It was as if he had become accustomed to being imprisoned and had forgotten to even try to resist.
Yun Qingzhi fell powerlessly on Yan Wulu's chest...
The broken and scarred beauty fell in front of her.
But there was still no fluctuation in Yan Wulu's calm eyes.
He picked up Yun Qingzhi like a princess, and he felt in his heart - did he violate his agreement with Lai Junchen?
I would definitely rather be a pervert from now on, it is not suitable for me to be a pervert.
In Yan Wulu's arms, Yun Qingzhi's forehead was gently pressed against Yan Wulu's strong chest, and her hands unconsciously held Yan Wulu's.
She knew that Yan Wulu's question just now was meant to let her go.
When Yun Qingzhi thought about this in her heart, she suddenly whispered in an inaudible voice——
"Thank you."
Yan Wulu was confused again for a while...
It seems that Lai Junchen's plan... seems to have been successful again?
Yan Wulu hugged Yun Qingzhi and slowly walked out of the palace dungeon. The torturers and dungeon guards he encountered along the way all turned to avoid him.
Each of them was secretly happy - Lai Junchen, the interrogator, had expected it to be good!
His Royal Highness is indeed having an affair with this woman!
Fortunately, I have not tortured her before. Now I quickly turn around and avoid letting this woman remember my appearance and settle the score later.
While countless guards turned around to avoid it, Yun Qingzhi buried her head even lower...
but……
In Yan Wulu's body, the "Qiankun Jue" technique was operating at its peak. If Yun Qingzhi made any abnormal movement, his heart would be pierced by the domineering energy in an instant.
…
Yan Wulu just carried Yun Qingzhi to a palace.
We are still in Zhenbei Palace, but we don’t know the general direction.
This palace is somewhat special. It is as gorgeous and warm as a palace, but as strong and hidden as a prison cell.
The palace is completely independent from other buildings. It is surrounded by high walls on the outside. There are rubble and debris on the walls. Although these things are useless to martial arts masters, they are more than enough to trap ordinary people.
...It feels like a palace dedicated to house arrest of noble people.
Yun Qingzhi was gently placed on the large bed in the room by Yan Wulu.
She was curled up in the center of the bed, having endured months of torture. Even if her foundation was not damaged, it still left her physically and mentally exhausted...
Yan Wulu looked coldly at Yun Qingzhi, who was hunched over like a shrimp.
I lament that a true beauty is still a beauty no matter what she does.
Although Yan Wulu could not bear it instinctively, since the plan had not failed, the torture mission agreed with Lai Junchen still had to be carried out.
He took out a bottle of red pills from his arms and placed one in front of Yun Qingzhi...
"Eat it."
The cold and soft voice seemed to be stating, but it also seemed to be commanding.
Yun Qingzhi picked up the red pill with one hand and tentatively raised her head to look at Yan Wulu, but there was no emotion in his eyes as deep as pool water...
Yun Qingzhi wanted to ask something, but her lips moved slightly, but she still didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and threw the pills in her hand into her mouth.
The red pill melts in your mouth.
Yun Qingzhi suddenly felt a surge of energy in her body, her whole body was constantly heating up, and her face was rosy... as if she had taken an aphrodisiac.
"This is……!!!"
Yun Qingzhi suddenly looked at Yan Wulu in disbelief.
She originally thought that the other party would not be interested in her in this regard!
Didn’t the other party himself vow to say this at the beginning?
Yan Wulu seemed to understand the confusion in Yun Qingzhi's eyes, turned his back and said lightly -
"It's not an aphrodisiac, it's a tonic."
"... Of course, it will also hinder the movement of a person's internal strength, fighting spirit and other energy for about a year after taking it."
...Although I don’t know if the same applies to the energy of immortals, I think that the things produced by the system mall should still be reliable.
Following Yan Wulu's words, Yun Qingzhi, who was curled up on the bed, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her limbs did feel that they had regained some strength.
Yan Wulu stopped staying any longer and headed out of the hall.
Yun Qingzhi looked at Yan Wulu's back slowly leaving.
For a moment, she actually felt that the other party was not as cruel and terrifying as the rumors said...
Um?
I don't know if it was Yan Wulu's speech problem or Yun Qingzhi's mental habits, but Yun Qingzhi automatically ignored the second half of Yan Wulu's words that hindered his internal fighting spirit.
However, this is the key point of Yan Wulu giving her the medicine!
(Yan Wulu turned into a cute villain in his heart and helplessly spread his hands...)
…
Royal palace hall.
"Jihua Immortal Lord?"
"Ascension to the fairy world?"
"Maybe there are other immortals in the world?"
The information obtained from Yun Qingzhi is still too little, and there are many things that are still unknown.
Yan Wulu kept thinking in his mind and continued to think——
"However, Yun Qingzhi's sect is very mysterious, and the other party has been unwilling to answer it. Thinking about it, it should be an extremely critical information point."
"...I have to go and study it carefully. It may be the clue to solve the mystery that has lasted for thousands of years."
After saying that, across the curtains in the palace, Yan Wulu's eyes flashed like beautiful and dazzling gems...
