The door behind Gu Xinglang was closed by the secret guard with a bang. All the people from the Ministry of Punishment retreated to the outside of the corridor and stood with their heads bowed.
Gu Xinglang walked straight up to National Master Wuhuan and Junior Master Fenglin and bowed with his fists clasped.
Wuhuan Imperial Master asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Yi Ye who was chained to the rack and said, "Brother Wu Huan, I'll come and see him."
Master Fenglin said uninterestedly, "This guy is very stubborn. At first he even refused to admit that he was Mo Wen's disciple."
Gu Xinglang asked: "Then how did he admit it?"
Master Fenglin said with a sneer, "After being beaten, he admitted that he was Mo Wen's disciple. But as for the rest, he just wanted to die quickly and didn't want to say anything else."
"Gu Xinglang, are you Gu Xinglang?" Yi Ye recognized who the secret guard who was standing and talking to Imperial Master Wu Huan and Junior Master Feng Lin was, and asked in a somewhat surprised voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Yiye.
Anyone who could become Mo Wen's disciple would not be a fool. Yi Ye understood instantly that Gu Xinglang's indiscriminate killing and Jing Mo's proposal to marry Princess Linglong were all fake. These people were acting and plotting against his master!
"Does he know the terrain of the back mountain?" Gu Xinglang asked Master Fenglin.
Master Fenglin shook his head and said, "I have never seen him in the Eternal Life Temple."
Gu Xinglang thought about what his daughter-in-law said and forced himself not to say what was in his heart. This girl is just a decoration in the Temple of Eternal Life, right?
"Gu Xinglang," Yi Ye raised his head with all his strength and said to Gu Xinglang, "Do you know where the Eternal Life Temple is?"
National Master Wuhuan raised his hand and released a burst of energy, hitting Yiye so hard that his mouth and nose bled.
Master Fenglin whispered, "This guy is stubborn, but if the punishment is too severe, beating him to death wouldn't be a good idea, right?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Yiye and said, "Let me ask you one last time, do you know the terrain of the back mountain?"
"What back mountain?" Yiye's mouth was bleeding, but he still sneered at Gu Xinglang and said, "You can't even ask a clear question, and you still think you can deceive my master?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Yiye without saying anything.
Master Fenglin said, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Yiye said, "I saw Gu Xinglang here today. Will you still spare my life? Fenglin, don't think I'm as stupid as you."
Junior Master Fenglin wanted to stand up, but was held down by National Master Wuhuan.
There was no sound in the torture chamber for a while.
“Pah—”
The sound of something falling to the ground was heard in the torture room, a very light sound.
Yiye first thought it was just water seepage from the roof dripping onto the ground, until he felt something crawling onto his feet. There was a three-finger-thick iron chain around Yiye's neck, which made it difficult for him to raise his head, but it was not affected when he lowered his head. Feeling something was wrong, Yiye quickly lowered his head to look at his feet.
A fat white poisonous insect crawled across Yiye's bare feet and landed on Yiye's calves.
Yiye looked at the insect in panic. As Mo Wen's disciple, how could he not know what this thing was? Yiye immediately shouted, "Gu?!"
Imperial Master Wuhuan and Junior Master Fenglin also looked at the poisonous insect with puzzled expressions.
Yiye struggled desperately. He had seen many miserable conditions of people who were poisoned by Gu, and he didn't want to become like that.
The iron chains rattled as Yi Ye struggled, making the sound echo in the high-ceilinged and spacious torture chamber, which was particularly harsh.
Master Fenglin said at this time: "If you can draw a topographic map of the back mountain, we can spare your life."
"Master will not let you go!" Yiye looked at Master Fenglin fiercely and shouted, "You all must die!"
"No need to waste words with him," said Wu Huan, the Imperial Master, in a cold voice, "Let Xing Lang decide his life or death."
"No," Yi Ye became panicked again after hearing what Master Wu Huan said, and shouted, "Take the poison away, or just kill me if you dare!"
Master Fenglin said, "Are you afraid of Mo Wen? Don't tell me that he has something on you, so you would rather die than betray him?"
"No, I don't want to be poisoned." Yiye's momentum weakened a little after the poisonous insect crawled onto his chest. He said, "I don't know. I don't know anything."
Master Fenglin said with a smile: "You are saying you don't know now, isn't it a little too late?"
Yiye began to pray for death with all his heart, cursing and begging mixed together. Master Fenglin thought that this guy might not even know what he was saying.
The poisonous insect crawled onto Yiye's face.
Yiye screamed at this time.
Imperial Master Wuhuan and Junior Master Fenglin were shocked to see a poisonous insect poking its head out of Yiye's left eye.
"I knew it," Master Fenglin muttered, "How could Mo Wen be completely defenseless against him?"
The poisonous insect crawled out of Yiye's eyes and crawled straight towards the poisonous insect that had crawled onto Yiye's cheek. With the eyesight of National Master Wuhuan and Junior Master Fenglin, they could see two rows of teeth as sharp as blades in the wide-open mouth of the poisonous insect.
The poisonous insect released by Gu Xinglang stopped and suddenly opened its mouth. It looked like a plump white spring silkworm, but when it opened its mouth, its two rows of sharp teeth instantly destroyed its harmless image.
Seeing that the two poisonous insects were about to fight each other, Wuhuan National Master stood up and said, "Xinglang, you can't hurt this poisonous insect! If you hurt it, Mo Wen will know that someone can hurt the poisonous insects he raises!"
Master Fenglin's face darkened. If someone like Mo Wen knew that Gu Xinglang was better than him, would he still let Gu Xinglang live in the world? Raising a murder weapon, but in the end this murder weapon would kill him. As long as Mo Wen was not an idiot, he would know what choice to make.
Gu Xinglang did not look back at Master Wuhuan, but the poisonous insect that was ready to fight to the death closed its mouth, crawled across Yiye's nose, and crawled from Yiye's left cheek to his right cheek, avoiding the poisonous insect that came out of Yiye's left eye.
Yiye seemed to be unconscious at this time, motionless.
The poisonous insect that came out of Yiye's left eye also wanted to crawl to the host's right cheek, but suddenly it stopped on Yiye's nose bridge as if it was cast under a spell, with its head raised high towards Gu Xinglang, motionless.
The poisonous insect crawled under Yiye's right eye socket, and its fat body squirmed and quickly drilled into Yiye's eye.
When Master Fenglin saw this scene, he felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't disgusting at all, but seeing a living insect drill into one's eyes was definitely not a pleasant feeling.
Master Wuhuan's face was hidden under the silver mask, and others could not see the master's expression. "Xinglang, can you peek into Yiye's brain through that insect?" Master Wuhuan asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang shook his head and whispered, "I don't know. I haven't tried it before."
Gu Xinglang's voice at this moment sounded flat and mechanical, completely different from his usual voice.
Wuhuan Imperial Master nodded and said, "Then you can try it on him, but be careful not to kill him."
"Okay," Gu Xinglang agreed to National Master Wuhuan.
