Chapter Ninety-Three Interrogation

  "Hmm," Luo Yu saw that it didn't have the self-awareness of a demon pet, nor did she blame it. "Has that person not woken up yet? Can I interrogate him now?"

  "Two days ago, he showed signs of waking up, but I accidentally knocked him out with a mouthful of liquid. He's currently in a dream state. If you ask him anything, he'll respond. Uh, since you're my master, you can also ask him questions, just call his name before asking."

  Luo Yu nodded, looking at Hou Yong who was stuck to the tree wall, and her emotions fluctuated for a moment.

  In her past life, she had read "Luoxue Sheng Xian Ji" but only roughly skimmed through it, so when fighting with Hou Yong on the war stage, Luo Yu didn't recall that this person also appeared in the original text. However, this person was like a bird flying over the lake surface, fleeting and gone in an instant.

  His first appearance was after the opening of the Qing Huang Secret Book, when the male lead Du Xuan arrived at Tianxuan Sect as the Central Continent's Son of Heaven, known as a once-in-a-thousand-years sword genius, suppressing the entire younger generation.

  Of course, these words were not spoken by Du Xuan himself, but by his fellow disciples and brothers who spread them. However, this obviously provocative language enraged all the young and arrogant geniuses of the Tianxuan Sect, and the first to jump out and challenge was Hou Yong of the Purple Sword Peak.

  At that time, Hou Yong was 23 years old and had just started building his foundation; Du Xuan was 30 years old and had already completed the Great Circle of Building Foundation. This challenge was obviously unfair, but Hou Yong proposed to compete only with swordsmanship, regardless of spiritual power and cultivation, so Du Xuan agreed.

  The advancement of Jianxiu is much more difficult than Fadu, and it's extremely rare to achieve the Great Perfection of Building Foundation at the age of 30. Moreover, Jianxiu's combat power is extraordinary, and inter-level challenges are a common occurrence.

  Du Xuan was specially selected by the Kunlun Sect to travel to the Eastern Domain, with the purpose of suppressing the proud sons of the Eastern Domain's sects and increasing their deterrent power. The goal is to cooperate with the Kunlun Sect's Yuan Ying seniors to divide the Qing Huang Secret Realm.

  Under the pressure of the crowd's words, Hou Yong put up his black sword as a betting item, which was the most valuable thing on him. Du Xuan took out a three-piece battle armor, which seemed more valuable than the second-order spiritual instrument, the black sword, because the sword soul had not been awakened yet.

  Dark blue and purple sword auras crisscrossed each other. The entire battlefield was filled with them, the two swords clashing, the sharp sound piercing into one's ears, instantly injuring the low-ranking cultivator's eardrums. Fresh blood flowed out from their ear holes.

  Hou Yong was knocked down heavily from the stage, and it's been less than a minute since the start.

  It was just Du Xuan's probe before, but now that he has figured out Hou Yong's strength, he ruthlessly knocked Hou Yong off the stage. After all, his mission is to suppress Tianxuan Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted this challenge with mismatched strength.

  Hei Jian held the sword in his hand, gently stroking it, and Du Xuan suddenly discovered that this sword had another secret, not like its appearance as a second-order spiritual instrument. What was hidden inside it, if it were to be triggered, would transform it, possessing unimaginable power.

  He secretly rejoiced, feeling that this trip to the Eastern Domain was not as dull as he had expected. As for returning the sword to the other party, Du Xuan snorted in disdain. Why should he return the bet he won fairly and squarely? Although he was proud and aloof, he wasn't a fool.

  "Master, are you ready to ask something?"

  Hongmei's voice broke Luo Yu's train of thought, and she ordered: "Help him sit down on the opposite side."

  Hongmi stretched out a green vine to pull up Hou Yong, shook it a few times, and let him sit cross-legged opposite Luoyu.

  Hou Yong hung his head low. His eyes were tightly closed, and his eyeballs were rapidly rotating under his eyelids, apparently falling into a dream.

  "Hou Yong, who sent you to kill me?" Luo Yu asked directly.

  The man's eyebrows were tightly knitted, the movement of his eyeballs slowing down, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His teeth grated loudly, but not a word escaped his lips for half a minute.

  Seeing Luo Yu's unpleasant gaze, Hong Mi hastily explained: "Master, it should be that he is very sensitive to this question and subconsciously refuses to answer. Moreover, his willpower is very strong, so it would be like this. Otherwise, you can try asking other questions?"

  Luo Yu gave it a cold glance: "Next time, I'll confiscate your spirit stone."

  No matter how much resentment Hongmi had, she stared at Hou Yong and introduced a hint of spirituality into her voice: "Hou Yong, who is in your family?"

  Luoyu decided to take it one step at a time, avoiding his resistance.

  "I have a sister." Hou Yong finally spoke up, his face calm and composed.

  "What about other family members?"

  Hou Yong's expression slowly turned sorrowful, and after a while, he replied: "No more, they're all dead."

  Luoyu fell silent for a moment before continuing to ask: "What's your sister's name? She must be very pretty."

  "Her name is Jie Er, as beautiful as a peony flower." Hou Yong's expression softened, and he revealed a hint of a smile.

  "Is she also in Tianxuan Sect now?"

  "No, her qualifications are not good, I will arrange her in Yun Tian Fang City."

  Hongmei listlessly listened to the two people chatting, what's there to talk about with Hou Yong's sister, what does this have to do with the mastermind behind the scenes, they actually chatted for a whole minute without even taking a break.

  "Jie's sister was bullied in the town, causing damage to her meridians? Isn't it necessary to use the Rejuvenation Pill to cure her?" Luo Yu's heart was racing as she felt that she was only a few steps away from the truth.

  "Yes, because of the severe damage, a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill is needed to cure it." Hou Yong's voice was low.

  "Has the perpetrator compensated for the extreme product of Yuan Dan?"

  "How is that possible? He's an inner sect disciple with a Golden Dan master, while I'm just an ordinary outer sect disciple. The steward of the market determined that my sister collided with a Foundation Establishment senior and got injured, which was her due punishment. Who would have thought to ask him for compensation?" Hou Yong's voice gradually became sorrowful and indignant. "My sister is only at the 4th layer of Qi Refining, how could she dare to collide with a Foundation Establishment cultivator? It's just that he saw my sister was beautiful and wanted to take her as his concubine, but she refused him. He got angry and slapped her with one palm, ruining her meridians."

  Is this another case of a wicked young man bullying a weak woman? Luo Yu was speechless. Hou Yong, you were furious when the second generation of the Gao family injured your sister and resented the unfair treatment, but now that you're willing to be someone else's knife to kill me, why don't you show any mercy? If I die under your sword, who should I tell about my grievances, King Yanluo?

  "My sister was seriously injured and hard to cure, but I didn't have the spirit stone to buy a top-grade recovery pill. It wasn't until she found me and gave me a bottle of top-grade recovery pill." Hou Yong's expression slowly calmed down.

  "Who is it? Who sent Dan medicine to you?" Luoyu asked urgently, her heart beating faster and faster.

  Hou Yong's eyebrows slightly furrowed, displeased that someone had interrupted his narrative. However, a voice told him he must answer this person's question. So he began to speak: "Master Huang, I asked her what she needed me to do, and she said she didn't seek anything in return, just sympathy for my sister's situation. So I made her a promise that from now on, no matter when, she could ask me to do something for her."

  At this time, Luo Yu had already gotten the answer she wanted, as for the rest, she didn't even bother to know. Her voice was cold as ice: "Hou Yong, go to sleep!"

  Hou Yong's voice came to an abrupt halt, his head hung low, and his eyeballs rolled rapidly.
