None of the five people in the cell knew where Hu Rongcheng and the others were taken and what they would experience.
But it is conceivable that if something unexpected happens to those three people, what awaits the five of them will not be a good end.
The two female disciples of Jianhua Palace huddled in the corner, trembling with fear due to their random thoughts.
It goes without saying that they, the closed disciples of famous sects, have qualifications, but they have been protected by their teachers since childhood and have experienced too few things. When encountering such a life and death crisis, they are immediately at a loss and have no idea what to do.
After waiting anxiously for about half an hour, footsteps started again, the iron door opened, and Hu Rongcheng, Chen Hao and Xu Hanliang were escorted back.
From the outside, they did not appear to have suffered any abuse. Hu Rongcheng and Chen Hao had calm expressions, but Xu Hanliang had a faint look of disdain.
"The rest of you, come out!"
The person outside the door ordered.
Zhuo Mufeng immediately stood up and walked out. In this case, there was no benefit in pretending.
Seeing this, the four Jianhua Palace disciples had no time to ask the elders, so they could only grit their teeth and follow.
Under the leadership of each other, the five people walked deeper into the dungeon. From time to time, the sound of whips, crashes and screams could be heard from the iron gates on both sides, adding a bit of terror to the dark and long tunnel.
The four Sword Flower Palace disciples became increasingly frightened.
After walking for a hundred meters, the man in front pointed. Zhuo Mufeng and the other five obediently walked into the cell on the left, and the iron door was closed again.
"You guys, do you want to die or live?"
Various blood-stained horrific torture instruments were placed in the room, and there were even pieces of unprocessed liver in some corners. The thick smell of blood hit his nostrils, making Zhuo Mufeng frown, and the other four people almost vomited on the spot.
The two female disciples were almost scared to tears.
Facing their direction, a tough middle-aged man with a Chinese character was sitting slumped on an iron chair, shouting at the head.
"Are you deaf when Elder Gao asks you questions?"
Seeing that several people were in a daze, the subordinate standing on the left behind the middle-aged man with a Chinese character shouted angrily.
Zhuo Mufeng said: "No one wants to die."
The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face nodded: "Very good, if you want to live, it's very simple. Come to my Songquan Villa immediately.
Once your loyalty is confirmed, we will naturally let you go. At that time, except for a few people, no one will know that you betrayed the master, and you can still enjoy glory in the world.
I will give you a quarter of an hour to consider whether you want to live or die, you can make your own decision."
After that, Elder Gao closed his eyes and didn't look at the five people again.
Isn't this just being a traitor?
Zhuo Mufeng was thoughtful, while the expressions of the other four people changed drastically.
Jianghu has its own rules.
Perhaps those small-time street gangs can change their affiliation at will, but in the eyes of real Jianghu people, those gangs are at best a ragtag group of gangsters, not worth mentioning.
At the level of second-rate forces, the meaning of the sect is completely different. The simplest point is that the martial arts that the disciples come into contact with are not trivial.
If you join this sect today and that sect tomorrow, wouldn’t it mean that all the secrets of the sect will be leaked?
So after many years of agreement, everyone in the world adheres to the most important principle and must never betray the master!
Once you have this mark on your body and the news is exposed, there will be no place for you in the world.
The four Jianhua Palace disciples knew very well that if they betrayed Jianhua Palace, they might be able to survive the current situation, but from now on, they would become the pawns of Songquan Villa, subject to their control and no freedom.
The silence in the cell was eerily depressing.
The four of them did not dare to speak and could only communicate secretly with their eyes. A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Elder Gao opened his eyes, his eyes as cold as swords: "Have you considered it? Life or death."
The four of them opened their mouths with bitter expressions on their faces, obviously having trouble making a decision.
Elder Gao nodded his chin, and the subordinate on the right swung his whip violently. The shadow of the whip was as fast as lightning, and with a bang, the hair on Zhuo Mufeng's back grew, and he hurriedly moved out of the way.
There was a horrified scream behind him, and Zhuo Mufeng turned his head, just in time to see blood and white brains splattering on the faces of the three Sword Flower Palace disciples.
As for the other person, most of his head was broken into pieces by the whip, and the internal flesh and blood structure was clearly visible. He fell to the ground on his back, and the shock and despair before death could be vaguely seen.
"Life or death, say."
Elder Gao continued to ask, and his plain voice contained a strong murderous aura, which made Zhuo Mufeng feel an almost suffocating pressure.
The other party didn't talk nonsense at all. Life and death were all decided by one thought, making it difficult for them to avoid it and leaving no room for negotiation.
After a moment's hesitation, seeing the man on the right about to take action again, the three disciples of Jianhua Palace were so frightened that they peed.
"I promise, I promise whatever you say."
"We, we are willing to seek refuge in Songquan Villa."
Under the powerful impact of death, all rules are thrown aside, and nothing is more important than living.
Elder Gao looked at Zhuo Mufeng again, and Zhuo Mufeng quickly raised his hands and said, "I am willing to join Elder Gao."
He is not from a well-known family, but he is the leader of a gang. It doesn't matter if he joins the gang, he will only copy a few Samsung secret books. If he can avoid this disaster, the price will not be high.
Unexpectedly, Elder Gao shook his head and said with a hint of joking: "You are not from Jianhua Palace, and you don't seem to have a good background, but you witnessed the three of them taking refuge.
Keep you here, what if the secret is leaked? I never believe in swearing, so what do you think I should do with you?"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up, but the murderous intent was unabashedly exposed from his eyes.
Zhuo Mufeng understood immediately.
To put it bluntly, the other party just felt that he was worthless and would rather kill him than use him to avoid wasting the hidden stakes of Sword Flower Palace.
Combining what happened before and after, Zhuo Mufeng even guessed that the other party was teasing him from beginning to end.
If you really want to recruit him, you can temporarily take him somewhere else and interrogate him separately.
Cold sweat broke out on his back. Zhuo Mufeng knew that this was a critical moment of life and death. If he hesitated for a moment, the people before him would end up. He quickly said: "Elder Gao, I am one of the six guardians of the Wei Dao Alliance. I am seventeen years old this year."
."
The murderous aura stagnated for a moment.
Elder Gao looked at Zhuo Mufeng with deep meaning: "I, Gao Que, am blind."
It was a simple sentence, but it struck Zhuo Mufeng's head like a thunderbolt.
Gao Que, this person’s name is Gao Que?
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly remembered the small piece of paper he had received that night, which had the words "Gaoque volleying in the sky, Qionglou Yuyu" written on it.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Regardless of whether there is or not, at this juncture, Zhuo Mufeng had nothing to hesitate and immediately tested: "Elder Gao's impressive name can only be matched by Qionglou Yuyu of Lingkong."
Gao Que, who was about to speak, felt his heart pounding. His slightly narrowed eyes seemed to have really opened for the first time, and he looked at the young man opposite him who was clasping his fists and holding his hands in front of him, as if he was trying to flatter him.
"You are slippery, frivolous, and sexually unreliable. Do you think you can avoid death by flattering Mr. Gao?"
Gao Que smiled coldly and suddenly changed the topic: "But you are quite interesting. You didn't tremble with fear just now. You said you are a protector of the Dao Wei Alliance. Tell me, what is your relationship with Wu Yuanyuan?"
Seeing the change in Gao Que's expression, Zhuo Mufeng actually became more confident. When he heard these words, his heart finally fell back into his stomach.
Knowing that the other party was creating steps, he quickly said: "I once saved Wu Yuanyuan's life, and I am very respected and trusted by her!"
"Oh? In that case, you do have a certain value."
Gao Que smiled, as if he was very surprised. After thinking for a long time, he glanced at Zhuo Mufeng and waved his hand: "Take them all back first and bring them over tomorrow. I can use them."
Zhuo Mufeng didn't know if this was a hint from the other party, but at least he could tell that this Gao Que was from the Heaven's Claw.
Unexpectedly, in the face of many crises, he actually saved his life by relying on his identity as a Skyclaw Eagle Dog, which he was eager to get rid of.
