Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The interrogation room of the Military Law Bureau seemed to be leaking; the sound of water dripping could be heard coming from somewhere.
Unable to know the exact time before the sinking, one could only roughly estimate it by listening to the sound of dripping water.
It must have been more than an hour already. I wonder if Lao Wang has found Liu Changqing yet.
Before sinking in, his mind was filled with random thoughts.
But in Chai Mu's eyes, Shen Qian looked like this—
He sat on the high stool, covered in sweat, his face pale with a bluish tinge, his features distorted, his eyes rolling back, as if he had reached some kind of limit.
If I had to describe what it felt like to have that Yuan-breaking needle pierce through me, it would probably be... slightly cool.
But in order to gain Chai Mu's trust and prevent him from using other seemingly horrific torture instruments, Shen Qian gave the system an idle command: "Make a painful expression."
Then, before sinking, I kept the system's template emoticon and spent more than an hour in boredom.
Every ten minutes, Chai Mu would ask Shen Qian if he "recognized" her, and by then, Chai Mu was also somewhat moved.
"No wonder you have such cultivation at such a young age and from a poor background. Your temperament is even more resilient than some of the high-level martial artists I have ever met. It's unbelievable."
Chai Mu sighed, looking at the nine silver needles inserted into the joints of Shen Qian's body, his expression complicated.
Nine roots...
No martial artist has ever been able to endure this long after all nine needles have been applied.
"But the more you do this, the less I can let it go, otherwise I will never be able to eat or sleep in peace."
Somewhat impatient, Chai Mu waved his hand and removed nine silver needles, his expression deep and unfathomable. "I'd like to see how long you can hold out."
He put away the Yuan-Breaking Needle and picked up a dark porcelain bottle from the side.
"This is saliva extracted from the demonic Candlefire Serpent. It contains a deadly poison that can directly affect the nerves, making you wish you were dead."
Chai Mu sighed, "I didn't want to leave such obvious marks on you. I have to bear some responsibility, but it seems you didn't leave me any choice."
Chen Qian's expression was solemn.
"Open his mouth."
Chai Mu gave the order.
Seeing two men in black approaching him, Shen Qian's heart sank, and fear finally gripped him.
Everyone is afraid, and Chen Qian is no exception.
Even if you survive eating this snake venom, who knows what kind of aftereffects it might leave you?
Old Liu, Old Liu, if you don't come soon, your prized disciple, whom you can brag about, is going to be gone...
Squeak!
As if hearing Shen Qian's inner cry, the tightly closed black iron door of the interrogation room was suddenly slowly pushed open.
Liu Changqing, dressed in black, stood at the doorway, carrying a black bag in his hand.
"Who are you?"
Chai Mu and the other two men in black were initially bewildered, but Chai Mu quickly frowned, looking at the ashen-faced man in Liu Changqing's hand, and asked sternly, "How dare you trespass into the Martial Arts Bureau?"
Liu Changqing's gaze swept across the interrogation room, and when he saw the instruments of torture, his face contorted with rage.
He ignored Chai Mu and looked directly at Chen Qian, who was sitting in the center, his voice hoarse and tinged with nervousness, "Is there any damage?"
"It's nothing serious."
Shen Qian knew what the other person was asking, and shook his head, "You came just in time."
Liu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but then stared at Shen Qian and asked, "Do you have a problem?"
"Completely innocent." Shen Qian met her gaze calmly.
"That's good then." Liu Changqing nodded, then turned his gaze to Chai Mu and the others, coldly saying, "Damn it, what a mess!"
"you……"
Having already sensed something was wrong, Chai Mu was about to lash out when, in the next second, he was pressed to the ground by an unparalleled force.
At the same time, three other people dressed in black also lay down.
In less than a second, the fate of all four was unknown.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the instruments of torture in the interrogation room exploded one by one, turning into fragments.
The walls collapsed, the ground tore apart, and the interrogation room was reduced to ruins in an instant...
Only the one sitting in the center of the sinking remained intact.
Looking at Liu Changqing, who had stood at the door the whole time without moving an inch, Shen Qian was deeply shocked.
This was the first time he had ever seen a powerhouse of this level fight at close range.
In the midst of laughter and conversation, they vanished into thin air.
Unrivaled, trembling with fear.
A piercing alarm could be faintly heard from the dilapidated cave above, followed by a chaotic and rapid sound of footsteps, instantly alarming the entire Martial Arts Bureau.
Liu Changqing dusted off the dust that had accidentally gotten on his sleeves, stepped over the ruins and came to Shen Qian. With a casual wave of his hand, the shackles on Shen Qian's body shattered inch by inch.
"Eight orifices?"
Liu Changqing stared intently at Shen Qian and uttered two words.
"Eight orifices".
He nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"Very good, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Liu Changqing made a casual remark first, then sat down next to Shen Qian, "Tell me from the beginning, what happened?"
Shouts and footsteps approached from afar, but Liu Changqing remained unperturbed, and Chen Qian also remained unperturbed.
Hmm... he feels very safe now.
Shen Qian picked out the key points and recounted his conflict with Zhao Xin, as well as the truth that he and Song Ye had deduced.
As soon as Chen Qian finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit appeared in his line of sight, with an imposing and dignified appearance.
He was followed by a dozen or so men dressed in black, but all of them had more than three gold trims embroidered on their sleeves, while Chai Mu only had one gold trim.
Behind them were countless people dressed in black.
"Who are you? Do you know where you are? You have committed a serious crime!"
