The envoy of the Wrathful King was sealed in a jar, which was placed in the most heavily guarded and defensive location within the Investigation Bureau.
Just to get in, Gu Xicheng, Lu Qing, and Li Hui all need to be present at the same time.
Knowing that they were going to interrogate the envoy of the King of Li, Wang Yanjun also came along.
Li Hui saw him, glared at him, and didn't say a word.
Wang Yanjun touched his nose helplessly.
"Brother, Uncle Li is still angry with you!" Gu Xicheng asked in a low voice.
Wang Yanjun: "Oh! The old man still has quite a temper. I've apologized and tried to coax him for days, but I still can't appease him."
Gu Xicheng: "Uncle Li treats you like a son. It's normal for him to be angry that he didn't tell him about your undercover mission."
Wang Yanjun: "I know."
Gu Xicheng patted him on the shoulder:
"I'll have Qingqing put in a good word for you later, and after a while, he'll naturally get over it."
As we were talking, we arrived at our destination.
Li Hui, Gu Xicheng, and Lu Qing each activated a formation and pressed their fingerprints before the cell door opened.
This cell didn't even have windows; every wall was solid.
There are no ventilation ducts, so the air inside is quite thin.
Fortunately, they slowed their breathing and it wasn't a big deal.
Before Lu Qing and the others could speak, the envoy of the Wrathful King spoke first:
"You've finally arrived!"
Inside the jar, he transformed into a miniature human figure and sat inside.
Lu Qing took a closer look and found that this envoy was quite versatile, with his face resembling many handsome men in the entertainment industry.
At first glance, he does seem to resemble Chu Qianjue somewhat.
"Now that you have a human form, you must have a name, right? What is your name?" Lu Qing asked.
"Of course I am! My name is... Long Aotian!"
The envoy of the Wrathful King spoke with considerable pride.
Upon hearing this name, Lu Qing and the others froze.
Long Aotian?
Is there another person named Liu Bo?
Lu Qing lowered her head and touched her nose, hiding the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but turn up, her face turning red from trying to suppress her laughter.
The envoy of the Wrathful King sensed something was amiss and frowned, asking:
"What's wrong? Is my name not nice?"
Lu Qing coughed lightly and said:
"Whether your name sounds good or not is not important. You are a member of the Li race. No matter how nice your name sounds, you will never become a human."
Long Aotian shrugged indifferently:
"I know, I didn't want to become human. Human form is just to make it easier for me to walk in the human world."
"Ask me anything you want!"
Lu Qing: "If I ask, you'll be able to answer?"
Long Aotian: "Of course not."
Lu Qing: "Then why should I waste my breath?"
Long Aotian: "Didn't you come here just to interrogate me?"
Lu Qing: "That was originally the case, but you have no intention of cooperating at all, so I think we should stop asking and just start the torture."
Lu Qing gave Gu Xicheng a look.
Gu Xicheng immediately stepped forward and activated the Nine Nether Lotus Flame.
As the burning sensation spread, a clear look of panic flashed across Long Aotian's tiny face.
The Nine Nether Lotus Flame is the nemesis of the Li Clan; even a powerful Li Clan member like him is powerless against it.
The flames wouldn't kill him instantly, but they would cause him pain.
"No! Stop burning it! Stop it now!"
Long Aotian is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of pain.
Finally, he relented:
"You want to interrogate me? Fine, I'll cooperate!"
Lu Qing slightly curled the corners of her lips:
"Now that you want to cooperate, I don't want to ask anymore."
"I was quite pleased to hear you making all that noise just now."
"Gu Xicheng, continue!"
Gu Xicheng: "Yes, ma'am!"
The Nine Nether Lotus Flame reignited, and Long Aotian hurriedly shouted:
"Stop burning it! I can tell you who gave the heretical cultivation techniques to!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng exchanged a glance.
Gu Xicheng extinguished the flames and said:
"First answer me, how many people have you given this cultivation technique to?"
Long Aotian: "I can't remember."
The two men frowned slightly and stared at him coldly.
"It seems he still refuses to cooperate!"
Long Aotian panicked: "No! I'm telling the truth, I really can't remember!"
"This heretical cultivation technique isn't something that just anyone can practice. I can only give it to people who have already awakened the evil in their nature."
"When some have cultivated to a certain level, I will take their souls and present them to my king."
Lu Qing: "Then how did you find those people who had already succeeded in their cultivation?"
Long Aotian: "This is the ability bestowed upon me by my king; I can sense the location of evil souls."
"If you want to find them, let me out, and I can help you!"
Long Aotian had a sincere expression, but a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
Lu Qing would never believe him!
"No need! You can stay here!"
"Let's get out!"
The group left the cell.
Long Aotian's face gradually darkened, and the murderous aura around him seemed to intensify.
Outside, Wang Yanjun said:
"This envoy of the Wrathful King is quite timid!"
Lu Qing: "The Li Clan is formed from malevolent energy, and malevolent energy originates from human nature. This messenger has fully developed human nature, so he is vain, fearful, ingratiating, and lies."
It can be said that he has all the emotions that a person has.
Not only do they exist, but they also amplify the evil side to the maximum.
"Believe it or not, if we had believed him and let him out, he would have frantically absorbed the malevolent energy of everyone around him and destroyed everything he could at any cost."
Li Hui sighed heavily, frowning as he said:
"The Wraith Clan is truly terrifying!"
Gu Xicheng: "We can't count on Long Aotian to help us now. We can only find those who practice evil cultivation techniques ourselves."
“The envoy of the Wrathful King did not give out the cultivation method casually.”
His target is someone who has already been aroused to evil; greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire are the seven sins.
Desire is further divided into six desires: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought.
See is the desire of the eyes, hear is the desire of the ears, smell is the desire of the nose, taste is the desire of the tongue, touch is the desire of the body, and thought is the desire of the mind.
These six desires can be said to exist in all sentient beings, but to varying degrees. To reach the level of sin, a person's desires must be extremely perverse.
Wang Yanjun: "Got it! Our focus now is on finding the pervert!"
Lu Qing: "Um...you could say that!"
"Speaking of perverts, this afternoon I encountered someone taking photos in the women's restroom, he..."
As she spoke, Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, as if she had realized something.
"Gu Xicheng, come out with me!"
Lu Qing hurriedly pulled Gu Xicheng away from the Investigation Bureau.
She suspected that the pervert she met today might have obtained some kind of heretical cultivation technique.
Upon arriving at the police station, the officer who had taken Lu Qing's statement earlier came out and asked:
"Little girl, what brings you here again?"
Lu Qing took out his identification:
"I am Lu Qing, an advisor to the General Administration. Have you caught that peeping tom?"
Police officer: "We've got him, he's being interrogated inside!"
Lu Qing: "May I go in and take a look?"
"Okay, come with me!"
The police officers brought Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng to the interrogation room.
The man was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, his head down, his hands rubbing together nervously from time to time.
