Having done this kind of thing with Lu Wei so many times, she's become quite skilled at it. Psychological burdens are nothing to Wen Jingge; they're not as tangible as the spirit stones she receives.
"Where is Xiao Ge...?"
"Look at these people! They're so wicked! They know Xiao Ge's whereabouts but won't tell us." Wen Jingge spoke to him in a tone as if she were the wicked queen tempting Snow White to eat the poisoned apple—light and airy, yet it made everyone present feel ashamed.
“Xiao Ge…” Lu Wei took a step, leaving two heavy footprints on the stone-paved floor, unlike the steps a normal person could take.
At this moment, after hearing the name "Xiao Ge," he was no longer human; his demonic nature gradually unleashed, like a ferocious beast that had just been awakened.
"Master Wen, is Master Wen trying to silence us here?"
Kong Bai was the youngest and the most impatient. While others were still studying and analyzing the deeper meaning behind it, he had already stepped forward.
"Silence them?"
At first, Wen Jingge hadn't really thought about it in this way. All she wanted was a truth that had been hidden for many years. However, these people clearly seemed to know something, but they wouldn't say anything, which made her very unhappy.
But some people have suggested that silencing them might not be out of the question.
"You've reminded me..." Wen Jingge smiled, "Given my relationship with Qu Xiu, it seems like wiping out a few third-rate sects isn't out of the question. We can then pin the blame on the demons, which would be a wonderful thing!"
"Master Wen! How could you do this?" Kong Bai was very puzzled.
According to the information he received from his elders, Wen Jingge was clearly not like that, evil.
When did things turn out this way?
“Some things…” Wen Jingge was not what he had imagined, and he didn’t need to continue to stick to the rules. “It’s not that we don’t want to talk about it, but that we can’t.”
The leader of the Tu Luo Sect moved slightly, and Wen Jinge saw his little movement. He guessed that Kong Bai would tell him everything, and when he saw that Kong Bai did not, he was relieved.
Wen Jingge understood.
She casually sprawled on the chair, her posture languid, her fingers toying with the jade pot ornament on the table. Seemingly bored, she released the restraint on Lu Wei and tapped her fingers listlessly on the table.
Knock, knock, knock knock...
The room was quiet, except for Lu Wei, who exuded a powerful aura upon gaining his freedom. He walked forward with the silly, drunken energy and grabbed the nearest Tu Luo Sect Master.
With her small, scarlet mouth agape due to unstable blood and qi, she stared at the neck of the Tu Luo Sect Master with a grimace. Hearing the sobbing, Wen Jingge opened her eyes curiously, only to be dumbfounded.
"I can't say! I really can't say!" The leader of the Tu Luo Sect struggled in Lu Wei's hands. He was terrified, but he still maintained his resolve. "Even if you kill me, I can't say it. Some things won't come true if you say them. We are just pawns, and pawns can't control their own destiny."
"Lu Wei!"
Wen Jingge stopped him, and at this moment she finally understood what Lu Wei's mindset was when she was being foolish.
Lu Weizhen is really something. Logically speaking, getting the body should lead to things developing in a positive direction, so why is he getting more and more irrational? He can't even threaten people anymore.
Baring its teeth and sticking out its tongue, did it learn that from a dog?
"The monk under the moon once instructed me not to tell."
“Master Yiyang.” Kong Bai exhaled a breath of turbid air, his hands still trembling as he gripped the table.
"Isn't the Xuan Yun Sect asking you for a favor?"
"No." The two said in unison, "Back then, it was difficult to enter or leave the Xuan Yun Sect. Among the three major sects, we minor figures usually only went to the Mi Zang Sect and Qinghe Mountain."
“Around the time when Master Wen first joined the sect, an elder in the Senli Palace was entrusted by True Man Yiyang. When that elder passed away, he passed this task to me.” Kong Bai took a sip of tea from his cup and looked at the still panting leader of the Tu Luo Sect. “He said that if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the three major sects, I should speak up appropriately.”
The leader of the Tu Luo Sect grabbed his wet hair and chuckled awkwardly, "The monk under the moon personally found my master and found a way for the Tu Luo Sect to tell stories. To be honest, many of the fictional picture books about the three major sects in folklore are actually produced by the Tu Luo Sect."
Wen Jingge suddenly thought of the picture book that depicted her and Bai Teng's entangled love and hate, and got goosebumps all over her body.
The room was quiet for a while. Wen Jingge grabbed Lu Wei by the back of his neck and pressed him to her side. Luckily, she wasn't a normal person right now, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to hold Lu Wei down: "Can't you be more specific?"
"I really can't be specific." The leader of the Sun and Moon Alliance shrugged and rolled his eyes at the roof beam. "Who knows, maybe the heavy snow on Qinghe Mountain was caused by discontent."
Wen Jingge's attention was entirely focused on the two people talking, and she had no time to pay attention to their feigned ignorance. Little did she know that they were desperately trying to walk into this trap.
Wei Qian changed into warm clothes but was still shivering. With Hong Li's incident as an example, Wen Jinge could no longer treat anyone present as an innocent bystander.
"It's not like someone from my Xuan Yun Sect asked you to do this. Even if you silence me, it seems like no one can hold me accountable!" She sighed. "Aren't you right?"
Everyone: ...
"Especially since the one next to me is quite fierce!" Wen Jingge felt a headache coming on as she looked at Lu Wei, who had turned into a zombie.
"We will wait!" Kong Bai cleared his throat. Being young, he was still frightened. He cupped his hands to Wen Jinge and said, "We believe that Master Wen will not do anything foolish."
"I think I'm being pretty silly right now, playing riddles with you guys. It's really not like me..."
"Master! Master! Open the door quickly! Master!"
Wen Jingge looked towards the door in confusion. He was about to get up to open the door when he ignored Lu Wei and lunged forward again. Especially since the leader of the Tu Luo Sect had personally experienced this mad dog sniffing at people's scent, he slumped down from his chair the moment Lu Wei moved.
"..." Wen Jingge.
Is it really that scary?
They can't even fight, all they do is bare their teeth, they can't even bite. I don't know where these Xuan Masters got their courage from, how come they're so cowardly.
“It’s very, very scary.” The leader of the Tu Luo Sect wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “It’s as terrifying as the legendary black coffin. Its malevolent energy can kill people.”
"The black coffin, is that what you mean?"
As soon as Liang Si entered the room, he felt the ground tremble, and the coffin made of thousand-year-old black iron was released again.
"Master..." Liang Si glanced at her master, who was in a bad state, then carried him into the inner room. With practiced ease, she struck Lu Wei unconscious with a single blow.
Everyone looked terrified, and they were even more shocked by Wen Jingge's reaction as his eldest disciple.
That's a demon god!
A legendary ancient demon god!
How could I have been knocked unconscious like that?
"You know them?" Wen Jingge's voice brought them back to reality. "You can at least say whether you know them or not, right?"
