Capítulo 1404: Chapter 1491: Shanshui Manor
Even though Su Xuan hadn’t explicitly demanded them to say anything from the start, these people weren’t fools. They naturally understood that this matter wasn’t simple. If they didn’t even know what Su Xuan wanted to ask, they’d probably just end up getting beaten.
“Hmph, then speak, and rember not to say things I don’t want to hear!”
Su Xuan threatened, and as soon as he said this, the guy underestimated him in his heart. To be honest, these people weren’t idiots. Su Xuan was getting a hold of them partly as a punishnt, but it was more for intimidation, to make them confess everything they should.
“I’ll say it, I’ll say it. Our branch is in Shanshui Manor!”
“That’s not the question I’m curious about. Continue!”
Su Xuan smiled faintly, with an expression that said if you don’t tell sothing I’m interested in, you’ll surely end up with a broken arm.
“…”
The man was speechless. To him, it seed Su Xuan just wanted to know where the Underworld’s base was. He didn’t know where the Underworld was, but at least he knew where their base was, so he explained everything to Su Xuan. But after speaking, Su Xuan didn’t care about this at all, which left him speechless.
“We, we’re recently ordered to capture girls between eighteen to twenty years old!”
The man hurriedly said. He didn’t know much, just these few things. If these weren’t what Su Xuan wanted to know, then he didn’t know either.
“Why are you capturing girls aged eighteen to twenty?”
Su Xuan asked indifferently. This was his real concern. He felt that this matter wasn’t simple and might be more complicated than it seed. These people appeared to be capturing girls indiscriminately, but Su Xuan could see that they were specifically targeting a certain age group. Why gather so many young girls? To sell them? If so, why only target that age group?
“This…”
The man’s face changed imdiately. How would he know why? This guy is being too nosy.
“I really don’t know. We’re just following orders!”
The man said with a bitter expression, not expecting to be treated so ruthlessly by Su Xuan.
“Hmph…”
Su Xuan snorted coldly. Seeing that this guy probably didn’t know, he didn’t continue to trouble him, pondering whether this matter might be related to the Gu Poison family.
Right now, things seed like a ss to Su Xuan. He didn’t know how to handle them. Almost seven days had passed and he still had no leads. Not only had the old man’s body disappeared, but more critically, he didn’t know who the Saintess was. Even if he found the Gu Emperor, he couldn’t save Xue ngxue.
Su Xuan released the guy, kicked him away, and approached the last two people with a cold smile.
“Are you prepared to lose a hand, or do you have so useful information for ? I’m quite easygoing. As long as what you tell has so value, I’ll spare your hands.”
“Ah… A man can be killed but not humiliated. Kill if you dare!” At this mont, one of the n looked at Su Xuan fiercely. To be honest, in that instant, Su Xuan was already too tired to argue.
“Damn it, do you really think you’re a tough guy? I’m going to humiliate you!”
Su Xuan spoke as he suddenly twisted the man’s arm 360 degrees as if wringing a garnt, the bones tangled together. The severe pain instantly surged through his right arm. But Su Xuan didn’t stop there and grabbed his left hand, twisting it 720 degrees in a similar manner, causing a series of cracking sounds. His bones were probably shattered.
“Crack… Crack… Crack…”
The man’s throat emitted cracking sounds from the pain. The severe agony made him almost faint several tis, the sensation of having his arm twisted off making him regret his words.
He regretted his bravado. Years later, when recalling this incident, if soone asked the biggest regret of his life, he would say it was uttering those words, “A man can be killed but not humiliated.”
He realized how childish he had been, aching to jump into a river in sha. In situations where you lack control, such words are futile, just like Su Xuan said: “I’m going to humiliate you, so what?”
What could he do? When facing such an opponent, any tough talk was dood to failure, leading only to passive suffering. At this mont, Su Xuan looked at the last man with a sunny smile.
“Now it’s your turn. Will you let kill you, or will you say a few words?”
Su Xuan looked at this man, slightly puzzled. This person hadn’t attacked him, so he was unsure if it was due to fear or another reason.
“I am willing to follow you and achieve great things together. Do you have the ttle to accept ?”
The man’s eyes were spirited, staring intently at Su Xuan, speaking earnestly. Su Xuan, the Taoist, found it strange. He hadn’t expected the guy to say he wanted to follow him; this was beyond his expectations.
“Heh, I’m quite surprised!”
Su Xuan looked at the man and said.
“Aren’t you afraid of being called a traitor, or how confident are you that I’ll take you in?”
Su Xuan asked with a smile.
“Just as the saying goes, ‘A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on.’ Choosing the right side is vital in life. With the right choice, one might achieve glory. I trust my vision. As for confidence, I have none. But I still want to propose this: if you’re willing to accept , I won’t disappoint. If not, I ask for a quick end rather than waking up to end it myself!”
The man looked at Su Xuan with earnest eyes.
Su Xuan smiled faintly, a little surprised inside. To be honest, he hadn’t expected this situation, and found the man before him interesting indeed.
