"Are we going to save him?"
"I think we shouldn’t. Without him around, we’ll save ourselves a lot of trouble."
"Exactly. Anyway, the old clan leader is in our hands now. Why bother saving him? Just let him keep fighting his own battles."
"I see him having fun all by himself, isn’t that right?"
The crowd was abuzz with chatter. Although occasionally a voice would question whether to save Lu Tianfeng, a strong sense of sarcasm was detectable in the tone.
Saving Lu Tianfeng? They’re not fools!
"Let’s go."
Sui Zimo reached out, draped an arm around his wife’s waist, and without paying any mind to Lu Tianfeng, they walked in the direction pointed to by the parchnt map.
"Follow up, follow up."
Captain Liu gestured to the others and quickly followed along.
anwhile, Lin Changhong and Yue Chushui continued dragging the old clan leader, who was now in tears.
It thought they would leave it here, allowing it to escape without worrying about following these people.
But contrary to its hopes, these people were not going to let it go!
"I’ve told you all I know, why won’t you let go?"
It wanted to struggle, to escape countless tis, but the answer was always clear: impossible.
Upon hearing this, Yue Chushui turned slightly and glanced at it indifferently.
"You’ve said everything you can, but there are still things you can’t say. We’re not in a hurry. Once the old clan leader thinks it over, he’ll eventually spill everything. We’ll take our ti."
Old Clan Leader: "!!!"
Could it be that these people actually knew it still had so secrets unspoken?
That’s why they kept it along, with no intention of letting it go. How could this be?
"I, I..."
"Old codger, you didn’t think we’d just let you go, did you? Even a little torture can extract sothing useful. Keeping you here definitely has its benefits, doesn’t it?"
Lin Changhong gave it no chance to speak, smiling faintly as he began.
"Isn’t it said that the biggest secrets are always reserved for the most critical monts of life and death? We’re not at such a mont yet, so why would we kill you?"
"You—"
The old clan leader’s face turned grim upon hearing his words.
They really had no intention of letting it go? Were they always planning on letting it die?
"Do you really plan to kill ? Aren’t you afraid I’ll say nothing afterwards?" it asked angrily.
"What’s there to fear?" Lin Changhong chuckled again.
Whether the old clan leader spoke or not didn’t depend on it, but rather on their thods, didn’t it?
Are they going to fear a spirit beast that can’t even endure pain, refusing to talk under interrogation? By then, they’ll have hundreds or thousands of ways to force the old clan leader to reveal the secrets they want to know.
"You—"
The old clan leader wanted to speak but truly didn’t know what to say.
Only now did it realize that these people were no better than Lu Tianfeng, they’re just all the sa!
Now that it’s fallen into their hands, it’s likely it won’t survive to return.
It won’t do, it must find a way to escape from these people. Since it can’t rely on them to spare its life, it can only save itself.
"If I say nothing, you’ll learn nothing. You just wait here for a burial-less death!"
