Looking at Mrs. Qianrou's leaving back, Lin Bai lowered his eyes and carefully thought and analyzed the current situation.
Lin Bai first reached out and touched the collar around his neck. This thing was specially used by Cangmang City to restrain the captured warriors. As long as he tried to break free from the collar, the magic circle inside it would be triggered, and the power erupted from the magic circle would be enough to destroy
Kill Daluo Daoguo realm.
Chen Yunjie and other warriors also had collars around their necks. This might be a huge restraint for them, but for Lin Bai, it was not fatal.
The power of the collar mainly comes from the magic circle inside it. Lin Bai has the "Swallowing Heaven Dao Technique to Break the Forbidden", so he can easily destroy it as long as he wants to break free from the collar.
This thing cannot restrain Lin Bai.
The reason why Lin Bai is still willing to stay here is mainly because he wants to find out what secrets are hidden in Cangmang City?
Lin Bai was quite curious about Cangmang City.
After all, there is such a large world in the heart of the hunting world, and there are no books in the outside world, so there must be secrets hidden in it.
That woman... seems to be one of the leaders here?
Will all captured warriors pass through her?
So what is her purpose?
While Lin Bai was thinking hard, the cell door opened again, and the jailer walked in. He first glared at Lin Bai fiercely, and then shouted to Chen Yunjie:
"You, come out!"
Chen Yunjie, who was suddenly called on, was at a loss. There was a bit of panic in his expression and eyes. He stood up in confusion and walked towards the door.
Chen Yunjie looked at Lin Bai in horror, his eyes full of seeking help.
Lin Bai reminded: "Keep your mouth shut to ensure that you are fine."
After receiving Lin Bai's reminder, Chen Yunjie seemed to have taken reassurance, his mood became stable, and he followed the jailer out of the cell door.
When the cell door closed again, the other seven people around Lin Bai were all in panic: "Chen Yunjie has been called out. Are we going to be tortured?"
"What exactly do they want to do?"
"Is it because of severe torture to learn about our sect's orthodox inheritance from our mouths?"
The inheritance of Taoism is the most important thing for every sect and family, and it is also something that is strictly prohibited from being passed down by any clan members or disciples.
Generally speaking, the Taoist inheritance of each sect and family will not be recorded in books and allowed to be carried by warriors. They often go to the sect's secret place and the family's secret place and pass it on to the warriors through some mysterious means.
And most of them can only receive part of the inheritance, that is, the incomplete version. Only when the warriors who have received the inheritance have improved their cultivation and are indeed very compatible with the cultivation of the Taoist inheritance, will all the Taoist inheritance be slowly taught.
Families and sects do this to ensure that the inheritance of the orthodox tradition will not be obtained by traitors.
For the inheritance of the orthodoxy? If that were the case, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to arrest people... Lin Bai shook his head, he knew very well that Cangmang City was not simply for the inheritance of the orthodoxy.
They must have other purposes.
But what the purpose was, Lin Bai still didn't know.
…
Chen Yunjie was frightened and followed the jailer out of the cell door step by step.
The jailer took him to another small room, which was filled with various torture instruments, and these torture instruments were all stained with blood.
The stench from the decaying blood stains is nauseating.
"Madam, people are here."
The jailer escorted Chen Yunjie in and saw Mrs. Qianrou playing with a boning knife, her slender jade fingers gently stroking the blade, and a bloodthirsty smile on her red lips.
Most of the reassurance Lin Bai had just given to Chen Yunjie was instantly wiped out after seeing Mrs. Qianrou. He was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked.
Mrs. Qianrou turned her eyes and saw that Chen Yunjie's legs were shaking with fear, and then she showed a satisfied smile... Yes, this is how he should behave, unlike that boy, who looked tough and oily at first glance
Not entering.
The key is that I haven't figured out his identity yet, so I can't make the next move.
Mrs. Qianrou was also having a headache about Lin Bai's matter. She shook her head slightly, gathered her thoughts, and decided to deal with the matter in front of her first.
"Don't be nervous." Mrs. Qianrou did not put down the boning knife, but her voice became gentle and said to Chen Yunjie: "As long as I ask you anything, just say it. I guarantee that you will be safe."
Chen Yunjie looked frightened, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety, "What exactly do you want to do? I am a direct disciple of the top family in Chu State, the 'Chen Family'!"
"I know." Mrs. Qianrou nodded, "The identity information you wrote before contains this information. You are not only a direct disciple of the Chen family, but you also wrote down in detail how much the family values you.
Does this scare us?"
Being exposed by Mrs. Qianrou's trick made Chen Yunjie tremble all over, and he couldn't help feeling frightened in his heart. A large amount of cold sweat broke out on his face and slid down his face and neck.
When Mrs. Qianrou saw that Chen Yunjie was frightened, she immediately smiled and said, "Why did you call that warrior just now Lord Wolf Marquis?"
"What is his origin?"
"He is..." Chen Yunjie just answered, but suddenly he recalled Lin Bai's instructions to him... Keep it secret to keep you safe.
"I don't know." Chen Yunjie looked confused, but he still chose to believe Lin Bai's words.
But how could his expressions and actions escape the eyes of Madam Qianrou.
Seeing Chen Yunjie's appearance, Mrs. Qianrou knew immediately... Chen Yunjie must know about Lin Bai.
"Well, since you don't know, I won't make it difficult for you." Mrs. Qianrou smiled and said, "Then you can spend the rest of your life in that dark dungeon."
"Anyway, if you don't want to say it, I don't believe that other people in the dungeon don't want to say it either?"
"Whoever speaks first, I will give him freedom first."
Freedom... Hearing these two words, Chen Yunjie's dead eyes glowed with life, and he asked: "As long as I say... you are willing to let me go?"
Mrs. Qianrou changed the topic and said, "Let's see how you perform."
Chen Yunjie hesitated in his heart and thought over and over again before he said: "He is a popular person next to His Highness King Chen of the Chu State today. He has helped His Highness Chen to solve major cases many times in the imperial capital and has won the trust of His Highness King Chen."
"If His Royal Highness King Chen successfully takes the throne after the birthday of Emperor Chu, he will definitely be able to break the earth and be crowned king and become a king with a different surname in the Chu Kingdom."
Madam Qianrou's eyes narrowed... She was actually the popular person next to the powerful prince, no wonder she was so determined.
"What sect does he come from?" Mrs. Qianrou asked again.
"The Tianshui Sect, one of the seven sects of the Five Families of Chu." Chen Yunjie answered truthfully, but he did not say that Lin Bai was the holy son of the Tianshui Sect.
Hearing about Tianshui Sect, Miss Qianrou thought about it. It seemed to be a down-and-out sect that existed in name only in Chu State?
Madam Qianrou asked with a smile: "With his cultivation, he is probably a core disciple in the Tianshui Sect, right?"
Chen Yunjie hesitated for a moment, then said: "He is... the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect!"
What!... Mrs. Qianrou's heart was filled with excitement, and her eyes widened in shock.
