Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Forced Interrogation, Beast Heart Trembles

Listening to Sikong Jing’s explanation, Duanmu Chun opened his mouth wide, his heart half-broken by the blow.

He originally thought that Xiu Hanzi was already under control and that he barely won the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, but it was a complete defeat.

“What are you all standing around for? Go out there and search for them…”

Finally, Duanmu Chun couldn’t help but roar, ordering the East Dominator experts to search everywhere with their teams: “Xiu Hanzi and the other person must not have gone far, they are definitely still in the Chaotic Eighth District, perform a carpet search…”

Crash…

The group of East Dominator experts surrounding Sikong Jing hurriedly dashed out, causing chaos once again outside the Xiu Yi Clinic.

The inside of the clinic instantly emptied out, leaving only Duanmu Chun, Di Geng, and Sikong Jing.

At this moment, Duanmu Chun stared intently at Sikong Jing and asked, “Xiu Hanzi ran away, why are you still here?”

At the same time, Di Geng also stared coldly at Sikong Jing, his eyes sharp like a poisonous snake.

The purpose of Xiu Hanzi’s visit this time was to take Sikong Jing as a disciple. Despite various unexpected events, they at least caught Sikong Jing, yet now they left him behind and disappeared.

This doesn’t make any sense!

Since they came to abduct people from the Sky Wolf Court, they should have taken Sikong Jing with them.

Sikong Jing ignored the pressure from Duanmu Chun and Di Geng and calmly replied, “Here’s the thing, Xiu Hanzi wanted to take me as a disciple, but I refused, so they didn’t take me with them.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chun widened his eyes once more.

While Di Geng raised his eyebrows, full of disbelief, with an expression saying, what nonsense are you talking about?

However, Duanmu Chun had personally heard Sikong Jing refuse and even speak arrogantly.

So he took a deep breath and stared at Sikong Jing, asking, “Even if you refused to become a disciple, they could have forcibly taken you. Did they leave you here for some purpose?”

Di Geng chimed in, “Even if they didn’t forcibly take you, they could have killed you, why did they spare your life?”

In response, Sikong Jing looked at them indifferently… and suddenly, he laughed.

“I don’t know what purpose leaving me serves, as for forcibly taking me along…”

“Maybe they thought a forcibly picked melon isn’t sweet.”

“Perhaps they thought my Military Talent wasn’t that impressive, as for killing me, Xiu Hanzi and his companion didn’t seem like some self-proclaimed righteous people who would kill at the slightest disagreement.”

Saying this, he half-smilingly looked at Di Geng.

The latter’s eyes flashed coldly, there was a hidden meaning in Sikong Jing’s words, was he calling him hypocritical?

But then Sikong Jing immediately spoke, “Oh, they mentioned they might come back to find me, whether they will or not, I don’t know.”

This sentence made Duanmu Chun and Di Geng subtly glance at each other, a bit more convinced.

Just then, someone suddenly came in to report, “Great Dominator Technique, a body was found in the backyard, killed by two sword slashes.”

Hearing the report, Duanmu Chun immediately had the body brought up.

They quickly examined it closely, and finally, Duanmu Chun and Di Geng’s eyes widened, “Qianwang Holy Tower!”

Sikong Jing’s heart trembled slightly, completely confirming that this envoy was from the Qianwang Holy Tower.

And Yao Yulou was precisely a pawn of the Qianwang Holy Tower!

The next moment, Duanmu Chun’s gaze returned to Sikong Jing, quietly asking, “What’s with the body in the backyard? Was it He Congsheng who killed him?”

Sikong Jing blinked, seemingly surprised, and said, “Sorry, I just took a walk around the street and didn’t notice a body in the backyard, it must have just appeared.”

He couldn’t let Yao Yulou know that he was inside the Xiu Yi Clinic at that time.

So he could only claim he’d gone out for a stroll; he deliberately walked around the block after leaving the backyard for this very reason.

Currently, under no circumstances can Sikong Jing let Yao Yulou know that he’s discovered Yao is a pawn of the Qianwang Holy Tower, otherwise, it could lead to a deadly predicament…

Yao Yulou might have killed that envoy for Jiang Wanyou, and could also kill him for Jiang Wanyou or the Qianwang Holy Tower.

Before figuring out Yao Yulou’s situation, Sikong Jing had to tightly cover up this matter.

Upon hearing Sikong Jing’s explanation, Duanmu Chun twitched his lips, feeling that Sikong Jing was very, very suspicious.

At this moment, Di Geng suddenly said, “Boss, it looks like Sikong Jing is being uncooperative. How about I handle the interrogation; I’ll get everything out of him, clear as day.”

Without waiting for Duanmu Chun’s agreement, Di Geng approached Sikong Jing and smiled lightly, “Sikong Jing, come to the backyard with me.”

His gaze remained as terrifying as a venomous snake.

But Sikong Jing stood up calmly, indifferently following Di Geng to the backyard…

Duanmu Chun naturally didn’t stop this, because Di Geng had mentioned finding an opportunity to uncover all of Sikong Jing’s secrets.

Thus, Sikong Jing and Di Geng arrived at the backyard.

Duanmu Chun continued to order a comprehensive search for any suspicious clues.

In the Xiu Yi Clinic’s backyard, Sikong Jing had just come to a stop.

Suddenly, Di Geng whirled around, and with a finger pointed at Sikong Jing’s brow, a terrifying intent unique to Di Geng forcefully crashed into Sikong Jing’s Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

In that moment, Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with a cold light, but he made no reaction, allowing Di Geng to act…

He had long expected to be forcibly controlled and interrogated, much like Old He controlling that guard at the Yao Residence previously, so he had prepared everything before Duanmu Chun and the others arrived.

Wanting to completely get through this unscathed, wanting to entirely escape this incident’s trouble, this step must be taken.

Thus, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison hidden in his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness had already concealed itself, and the newly formed Spiritual Shadow in the Sea of Consciousness had slightly dispersed.

What remained was merely a Spiritual Platform Power, stronger than ordinary people because he opened the Spirit Platform ahead of time.

At this moment, he sensed the Spiritual Platform Power being entangled by Di Geng’s terrifying force, if it were an ordinary person, they would have lost focus at this moment, like a puppet on strings…

But then, Sikong Jing was no ordinary person.

Though his Spiritual Platform Power was entangled, his Beast Heart still beat wildly within, bearing the intense will of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

It was a will not allowed for anyone to control…

If Sikong Jing wanted, he could now use his Beast Heart to repel Di Geng’s control over his Spiritual Platform Power, though it would result in mutual destruction, offering Sikong Jing no benefit…

And Sikong Jing wasn’t planning to repel the other.

Since Di Geng believed he could control him, he might as well pretend to be controlled.

Indeed, Di Geng believed he controlled Sikong Jing.

He smiled contentedly and coldly asked, “Tell me the truth, why weren’t you taken by Xiu Hanzi?”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing feigned a vacant expression and replied lowly, “Because I refused to become a disciple.”

He twitched his mouth, so it really was just refusing to become a disciple.

“Before Xiu Hanzi left, what did they say to you?” Di Geng continued to ask.

Sikong Jing had already made preparations, and replied evenly and stiffly, “They said one day I would regret this decision.”

This answer was very normal, leaving no room for issue…
