Chapter 883: Shanhai City
The lingering sound of the piano started when the bloody storm was about to begin.
Chen Yan and his companions moved and quickly intercepted the group of men in black.
Seeing this, Qu Su also joined in.
About a quarter of an hour later, there were only a few of the men in black left who had been so aggressive.
Among them, two people have been trapped by Chi Yue's vines.
…
"Tell me, which force sent you here?"
As Qu Su spoke, he reached out and ripped off the veils on the faces of the two men in black.
In an instant, two panicked faces were exposed.
The two men in black were terrified. They struggled desperately to break free from the soul-binding ropes, but their bodies were too weak and powerless to break free at all!
Xiao Zechuan said calmly: "In my opinion, they probably won't easily reveal the truth. In this case, why not use the soul-searching technique on them directly? This may help us get the information we need faster."
Before he finished speaking, the two men in black changed their expressions drastically, fear flashed in their eyes, and they looked at each other.
"Okay." Qu Su thought it made sense after hearing this.
Just as he raised his hand to place it on the crown of the head of one of the men in black, the other party suddenly spoke in an urgent voice.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! As long as you don't kill me, I'll tell you everything I know!"
Hearing this, Qu Su exchanged a glance with Chen Yan beside him, then he retracted his gaze and looked at the two men in black and said, "You guys go ahead and talk."
One of the men in black heard this and said anxiously, "We are just a group of independent cultivators. Someone bribed us to deal with your 'Black Alliance'."
"Who bribed you?" Qu Su's eyes darkened.
Seeing this, another man in black couldn't wait to explain: "In reply to your words, the man who contacted us and hired us is called Jin Suizi. He made a solemn promise that as long as we can successfully kill your disciples, we will get a full 200 Honghuang beads as a reward for each head we cut off. I was also obsessed with money at the moment, so I took on this deadly business. I hope that you will show mercy and spare our lives! We are really just being used by others as thugs!"
Chen Yan suddenly spoke softly. Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to carry an invisible pressure: "Are you really just a group of ordinary casual cultivators?"
Hearing these words, the two men in black, who were already nervous, suddenly changed their expressions and looked at each other, their eyes revealing panic and evasion that were difficult to conceal.
Chen Yan said calmly: "It seems that you don't want to tell the truth, so there is no need for us to keep you."
"don't want--"
The two men in black turned pale with fear. They said quickly, "We will tell you! We will tell you! Please don't kill us!"
"We are indeed not ordinary independent cultivators. We are from Shanhai City and are a team under the command of the city lord. It was the city lord who assigned this task to us!"
Shanhai City?
Chen Yan and his friends looked at each other. They had seen the map of the prehistoric world and had a slight impression of Shanhai City.
Shanhai City is located in the eastern area of the inner circle.
Chen Yan's heart moved.
She asked, "Who is that Jin Suizi? Why did your city lord accept his mission?"
The two men in black were visibly stunned when they heard this.
Even Qu Su couldn't help but look up at her, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Junior Sister Shen, don't you know where the inner circle Shanhai City is?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan shook his head calmly.
"Shanhai City is a trading city." Qu Su explained.
A man in black quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, as long as we are in Shanhai City, we can make any deal! Whether it's killing people or saving people, we can make a deal!"
Qu Su frowned slightly, glanced at the man in black, and said to Shen Yan and the others, "Shanhai City is also a third-rate city. It's full of good and bad people, and it's not worth the sight."
Wen Yuchu asked in confusion, "I can understand the mixed crowd, but what does it mean to be unsightly?"
When Qu Su heard this, his face instantly became a little embarrassed.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know where to start.
For a moment, everyone present fell into a brief silence.
The two men in black seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere. They looked at each other, and then tacitly chose to remain silent, as if they were afraid of saying something wrong and getting into trouble.
"Cough cough..." Finally, Qu Su couldn't help but cough twice to break the slightly depressing atmosphere.
Then, he cleared his throat rather unnaturally, and then said to Shen Yan and the others: "You better not be too curious. Knowing too much about some things may not necessarily be a good thing."
But the more he was evasive and hesitant, the more curious Wen Yuchu and the others became.
Zhuge Youlin's eyes were full of inquiry, and he asked, "Could it be that fierce fights often occur in Shanhai City? Are there corpses everywhere, blood staining the streets red, and the whole scene is bloody and horrible, making people unable to bear to look directly? There may even be countless bones exposed in the wilderness?"
Qu Su's face froze: "...No."
At this time, Wen Yuchu and the others finally understood what was going on. They stopped asking questions and changed the subject, asking, "Who is Jin Suizi?"
The two men in black tensed up again when they noticed their gazes were on them again.
"That Jin Suizi is the famous leader in Shanhai City!"
Qu Su narrowed his eyes, "In other words, this Jin Suizi may not be the one who issued the mission?"
The leader is also equivalent to the middleman.
The man in black turned pale and agreed, "Yes! It was the city lord who asked us to take on this mission. It was not our own will! If you want to know who really wants to kill you, you can go find Jin Suizi! He must know about it! Please, let us go! Although we are not innocent, we are not guilty of a serious crime!"
"Let you go?" Chen Yan looked at them.
"Yes!" The two men in black were filled with surprise and nodded quickly.
At this time, Qu Su looked up at Chen Yan in confusion, thinking to himself: Could it be that Junior Sister Shen has become soft-hearted?
"Of course you can..." Chen Yan looked down at them with cold eyes, and then changed the subject: "But you have to do the last thing for us."
After these words were spoken, the two men in black and Qu Su were all stunned.
But soon, the two men in black came to their senses, their eyes lit up, and their instinct to survive made them nod in agreement hurriedly.
"As long as you can let us live, we can do anything you want!"
