Text text_Chapter 2721 Torture to extract a confession?
Accompanied by a flash of blue that shot straight into the sky, Chen Shen left, and the cultivators around the main hall of the Golden Lion Sect felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
However, this sense of celebration for the survivors did not last long, as the hinterland of the Golden Lion Sect was cast a shadow called "greed"——
A civil strife over the remaining resources in the sect's treasury is gaining momentum.
On the other side, Chen Shen, who returned to the inn's teleportation array, waved to the old shopkeeper with a nonchalant expression: "Come on, stand on the teleportation array, and we will be transported to the bank of the Jiuqu River together."
"Ah? I'm going too?"
The old shopkeeper subconsciously asked a question. After the whole sentence had blurted out, he realized that he seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have asked. He washed his whole body in cold sweat and stuttered: "Go forward, go forward."
,Senior, forgive me."
"I didn't mean to offend, little old man, and I would never dare to question your decision."
"To be honest, after you left, I kept piecing together things here and there, and finally managed to scrape together enough spiritual stones for a Nine-Star Xuanzong to stand on the teleportation array and move to the Jiuqu River in an instant.
"
"If I add one more child... I'm afraid the Five Elements Spiritual Stones prepared in advance won't be enough!"
As he spoke, the old shopkeeper's rickety body trembled slightly, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look directly at Chen Shen.
Because he knew very well that the "middle-aged man" in front of him returned here through the Golden Lion Sect's teleportation array, but the third lady did not come with him, which most likely meant that something happened to the beautiful woman.
But something happened to the third lady, the big boss behind the Golden Lion Inn, and those of them who depended on her to live their lives might not have a bright future.
At this time, Chen Shen waved his hand indifferently and threw a space mysterious ring impartially into the hands of the old shopkeeper: "You can use the spiritual stones here as you like, is that enough?"
The soul probed into the Space Mysterious Ring filled with Five Elements Spiritual Stones, and the old shopkeeper nodded fiercely: "That's enough, that's enough, that's enough..."
"Well, then hurry up."
Chen Shen's tone at this moment did not contain the slightest emotion: "You don't have to think about saving spiritual stones for me, feel free to use them boldly, as long as you can teleport to the Jiuqu River quickly."
"Okay, okay!"
While the old shopkeeper nodded in agreement, he did not forget to jump into the teleportation circle. A look of unexpected joy flashed in his eyes: "Hey, hey, it seems that my fortune is about to turn around."
"This powerful person in the Nine-Star Xuanzong Realm insists on dragging me to go to the Jiuqu River with him. Maybe he thinks that my broken body still has some use, and we can use it together."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't trust me so much that he would just leave this Space Mysterious Ring filled with five-star spiritual stones to me to mix it without even thinking about it, right?"
"As for saying he has other agendas...hehehehe, come on!"
The old shopkeeper cheered himself up: "With my weak cultivation and twilight years, what kind of posture can let Jiuxing Xuanzong plot so hard? What can I have in my body that is worthy of Jiuxing Xuanzong's plans?"
"
"Well, I have to hold on to this new thigh!"
"As for my family...hehehehe, as long as I can serve this great man, and he casually rewards me with some mysterious pills, it will be enough for me to prolong my life and even regain my second spring, right?"
"Those old family members, why not leave them behind?"
In this world where the strong are respected, many cultivators’ pursuit of power is pathological—
In order to gain transcendent and more powerful power, they can trample everything under their feet, including ethics, family affection, and love!
Obviously, this old shopkeeper is no exception.
He kept pouring spiritual stones into the energy tank of the teleportation array. While he was excited, he couldn't help but be a little confused: "It's strange..."
"Nine-star Xuanzong, does it need to add so many spiritual stones to be able to teleport to the Jiuqu River?"
"It stands to reason that even if all the elders of the Golden Lion Sect are taken together and teleported from here to the Jiuqu River, they may not be able to use up so many spiritual stones, right?"
"Oh, that's all. Anyway, it's not like I paid for these spiritual stones, so I feel light-hearted..."
"Shua~"
Not long after, after enough spiritual stones had been thrown in, a blue beam of teleportation light rose into the sky and disappeared in a flash.
When the light beam here dimmed, a blue light beam lit up on the bank of the Jiuqu River at the northern end of the town, next to the Green Willow Embankment.
After the color of the light pillar disappeared, Chen Shen and the old shopkeeper both appeared here.
At this moment, an inner elder guarding the formation glanced at the two of them, stood up, pointed at the old shopkeeper with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "I have some impressions of you, it seems.
Are you the shopkeeper of the Golden Lion Inn in North Border City or East Border City?"
After finishing his words, without waiting for the other party to respond, he cast suspicious eyes on Chen Shen. After looking up and down, he said angrily: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to take advantage of my Golden Lion Sect?"
Teleportation array?"
In fact, the Golden Lion Inn has been using teleportation arrays to "carry passengers" and transport cultivators who want to take shortcuts and see the true appearance of the "Thunder Punishment Whirlpool" to the Jiuqu River for many years.
Often at this time, except for those "big households" who would be directly captured by the third lady, the other cultivators who were safely sent here would be eaten up by the old shopkeeper of Jinshike, and then they would be killed by the "defenders" who were working here in shifts.
"The one who eats the other end."
This has been a rule that has been established for many years.
At the moment, the person guarding the formation thought that the rhythm was the same as before, and even felt a little unhappy in his heart: "His grandma, it was finally my turn to be on duty, but I really wanted to buy the teleportation qualification to teleport here.
Taken advantage of."
"Originally, I could have given them a serious blow, but, why the hell is there only one person?"
"How much money can I squeeze out of one person? Alas!"
As a result, the attitude of the people guarding the formation became even worse. With a "Cang Lang" sound, he drew his sword out of its sheath, then put it on the shoulder of the "middle-aged man" who was disguised as Chen Shen, and shouted wildly: "What are you doing standing still?"
?”
"I'm asking you a question but you don't answer. How dare you put on an innocent face for me? Humph, I think you are most likely a spy sent by a hostile sect."
"Come here, I will tie up this guy and take him to torture him to extract a confession. You will definitely gain something!"
"I will obey the orders of the elders!"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding inner sect disciples who had received the sect's mission and came to guard the formation hurriedly nodded in agreement, and prepared to step forward to tie up Chen Shen...
