He seemed to think that as long as he could keep this secret, Lu Qingyan wouldn't make a move against him.
Unfortunately, he was wrong; he relaxed too soon.
"It seems we have no choice but to fight." Lu Qingyan flicked her wrist, then leaped down towards them. Golden light surrounded her magic wand and Lu Qingyan, freezing them in place.
"Yimi Yimi, Siyouda, disappear!"
The red and white magic wands in those people's hands vanished instantly.
Huo Lie's face flushed with anger: "Youyan, give me back my things!"
Lu Qingyan chuckled: "Alright, what are you angry about? Now you can tell me what you actually know."
"Pah, Youyan, I absolutely will not tell you." Huo Lie glared at Lu Qingyan but remained silent.
If Lu Qingyan had only immobilized them, they could have used their magic wands to cast spells to break the spell. But Lu Qingyan had taken their magic wands away, so they could only watch helplessly.
Lu Qingyan threatened, "Huo Lie, you have to talk today no matter what. You can't resist now, but you should know that there are many torture spells in the magic book. Those spells would be more than ordinary people like you could withstand. Even if you're not afraid, can you abandon your brothers?"
These interrogation spells might create something real, or they might be illusions. But Lu Qingyan knew that if she didn't say these things, Huo Lie would never speak.
Even now, despite her having explained everything clearly, Huo Lie remains stubborn and unyielding.
"Boss... Boss, just tell us what you know. Without the magic wand, we won't survive long standing here." Some of them were terrified of losing their magic wand and had already begun to surrender.
Since arriving in this world, they had enjoyed enough of the benefits that magic brought them. Now, suddenly losing it, they had to rely on their own hands for everything. It was like someone accustomed to delicacies suddenly being forced to eat only coarse food; this feeling of being unable to swallow food could drive a person almost insane.
After the first person appeared, the second one quickly followed. He pleaded with Huo Lie, "Boss, just say it. It's just a matter of saying a few words. Youyan isn't one to go back on her word. She's let a lot of people go. As long as we soften our stance, we'll definitely be able to live."
...
"Shut up, all of you!" Huo Lie's sinister gaze swept across their faces. "Don't say such shameful things to me again. If you lose your magic wand, you lose it. You can always make another one if you find the right materials."
“But without magic wands, we’ll die soon. Where will we find the time to forge another one? We’ll have to start all over again. This environment isn’t as peaceful as when we first arrived in this world. Holding even the lowest-level black magic wand means instant death; it’s like being a sitting duck.” The first to speak tried to persuade Huo Lie: “Boss, what can’t you tell us? We’ve followed you because you know some secrets. Even if you’ve never told us, we believe you’ll be a good leader. So many lives are in your hands now. Can’t you take a step back for us?”
