Chapter 239 An Alternative Interrogation
After saying that, Ye Luo made a hand seal and unleashed a bolt of lightning containing the element of thunder. The lightning struck the bound Bai Ruoqian with the bone whip in his hand, and her screams immediately echoed from the arena.
Bai Ruoqian endured the pain in her body and cried out in her mind, "Ugh, Soul Guide, help me quickly!"
She called out for a long time, but her soul didn't respond. "Damn it, stop pretending to be dead!"
The Soul Guiding Technique erected a barrier to resist the lightning attack. After a moment, he sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but he used a technique that suppresses the soul. Perhaps he is the same person from last night. His actions may be a test for you."
“What… how could it be him!” Bai Ruoqian gritted her teeth and said.
"Even if it wasn't him, he could be in cahoots with those people. He might not dare to kill you now, but if this drags on any longer, things could get complicated..."
Bai Ruoqian knew what she meant; she simply wanted her to admit defeat so that the elders would intervene. But she just couldn't swallow her pride.
Hold!
"Ugh—!" Bai Ruoqian endured the pain in her body, glaring angrily at Ye Luo, who was scrutinizing her with cold eyes, her heart filled with hatred.
"Ye Luo, one day I will kill you!"
"Oh? I'll wait." Seeing how patient she was, Ye Luo increased the power of the lightning. He trusted his intuition; there was definitely something wrong with Bai Ruoqian.
The crackling sound of electricity made Bai Ruoqian on the ground tremble and emit a series of shrill screams.
Seeing the beautiful woman being tortured like this, many people felt compassion and began to condemn Ye Luo.
"Hey, hitting is one thing, but torturing and humiliating someone like this is just too cruel!"
"How can you torture such a young girl like this? Have you no shame?!"
"That's right, how could someone be so ruthless towards a woman!"
"Let her go!"
"yes!"
...
Hearing this, Ye Luo laughed. "You guys are ridiculous. When she was trying to kill me, she didn't give me a chance to beg for mercy. Why didn't you guys jump out and say a few words to me then?"
"I'm giving her a chance to beg for mercy now, isn't that more merciful than her?"
Ye Luo coldly surveyed the crowd and sneered, "Rules are rules, and competitions don't discriminate between men and women. If we follow your logic, all the male cultivators in this competition should just admit defeat, then what's the point of the competition!"
Upon hearing this, many male cultivators in the stands fell silent, but the female cultivators were not happy and angrily retorted, "You...you...you're just making excuses!"
"He's quite handsome, how come he has such an annoying personality!"
"Exactly! He has no manners at all. What woman would want him in the future?"
Ye Luo sneered, "That's none of your concern. I prefer men and have absolutely no interest in women!"
Everyone: "???"
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Ye Luo kicked Bai Ruoqian on the ground, sending chills down everyone's spines.
"Bai Ruoqian, if you don't use your 'trump card' or lower your noble head, you're going to suffer some more."
Bai Ruoqian looked up and caught a glimpse of the madness in his eyes. She knew he was probably plotting something bad again. She gritted her teeth and asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"She conceded defeat."
Just as Ye Luo was about to try other tricks, Yang Shen suddenly appeared from below the stage and grabbed his shoulder, saying, "Let her go."
Looking at the pleading in his eyes, Ye Luo knew that if she continued like this, she wouldn't get any answers, and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, I'll give you face then."
He suddenly flung the bone whip back, and Bai Ruoqian fell heavily to the ground with a cry of pain.
Su Yuyuan felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this, leaped up to shield her, uttered a harsh remark, and turned to carry her away.
"Alright, that's enough!" Ye Luo put away the dragon bone whip in her hand and turned to walk off the stage, but was stopped by Yang Shen.
"etc!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo's eyes turned slightly cold. "Hmm? What's wrong? Are you going to avenge your junior sister?"
"No, no... I just want to have a friendly spar with you..."
"A friendly spar?" Ye Luo's face clearly showed his disbelief.
"Tch, are you out of your mind? You, a Nascent Soul cultivator, want to compete with me? You just want to teach me a lesson, right? I'm not giving you that chance."
After saying that, Ye Luo quickly ran off the stage, afraid that he would be caught and beaten up.
"Hey!" Yang Shen shook his head and mocked himself as he watched Ye Luo's departing figure. "It seems that the junior brother who used to pester me every day, wanting to spar, is gone forever."
Ye Luo returned to the preparation area with a grin. Cen Feng poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Looking at your arrogant appearance, I thought you were going to challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Ye Luo picked up the cup of tea and drank it down, saying, "How could that be? I know my own limitations. Wouldn't it be better to save some spiritual energy for the later competitions?"
Jian Yu said, "They're sending Yang Shen in now? Is this their last gamble?"
Xiao Huan said, "If we don't send Yang Shen, they can't do anything about it. We still have two Nascent Soul disciples who haven't gone yet. So it's better to finish this sooner and give us fewer points."
Nan Muyin smiled warmly, stood up and bowed to Ming Cang, "Master, I'll be going now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ming Cang nodded at him, watching him fly onto the arena, then turned to Ye Luo beside him and asked, "Hey kid, what did you find out about that whole thing?"
"It seems I still couldn't escape Master's discerning eyes!"
"You brat, stop keeping me in suspense!"
Ye Luo grinned, "We didn't find anything..."
"So...did you make a mistake?"
Ye Luo looked at Bai Ruoqian not far away and said, "Although we didn't find anything, I still gained some insights."
"What?" Ming Cang asked.
"Bai Ruoqian must have some trump cards up her sleeve. I just didn't expect that she could hold back from using them after being humiliated by me like that. There must be some hidden secret behind this."
Mingcang looked at him with a puzzled expression, "How did you know she had a trump card up her sleeve?"
"It's a secret!" Ye Luo chuckled.
Just kidding, which female lead doesn't have some kind of cheat ability? The fact that she didn't use it suggests she has some deep concerns.
Suddenly, he saw Shi Yi waving at him, so he went over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yi looked anxious and shook his shoulder, saying urgently, "I asked the people from Qingyue Sect, and they all said they haven't seen her since! Brother, what should I do now?!"
"Okay, okay, stop shaking!"
Seeing his state, Ye Luo knew she couldn't wait any longer, so she could only calm him down and go find the Fourth Elder to find out what was going on.
Ye Luo: "Master, I have to go now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Xi asked, "Father, where are you going?"
Ye Luo smiled and said, "Father has to go take care of some business. You play with Miss Yao Yao and come back to the inn with everyone later, okay?"
"Okay!"
Cen Feng asked, "Hey, junior brother, aren't you going to watch senior brother's match?"
Ye Luo waved at him and walked straight off the field, saying, "No need to watch, Senior Brother will definitely win."
Yang Shen was no match for him before, let alone now that Nan Muyin has already stepped into the Nascent Soul stage. How could he possibly have any chance of winning?
