Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142 Returning to the City

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Yu and the man in black sat firmly on the back of the Sky-Piercing Dragon. As the creature flapped its powerful wings, a powerful gust of wind surged forth.

Its speed was lightning-fast, resembling an arrow leaving the bow as it shot straight into the vast expanse of the sky.

As they ascended, the surrounding clouds gradually thinned, and the sunlight grew increasingly dazzling. Lu Yu felt the wind whistling past his ears, a testament to the Sky-Piercing Dragons incredible speed.

The dragon continued its ascent, soaring through the clouds until they reached Jasper City once more.

In the City Lords residence, Lin Yuan and Zhao Qingya stood in the s.p.a.cious front yard, gazing skyward. They soon spotted the figure of the Sky-Piercing Dragon.

Zhao Qingya turned to Lin Yuan and remarked, See? I told you. Lu Yus speed is remarkable. Hes already back.

Indeed, he is fast. I didnt antic.i.p.ate him capturing the enemy so quickly.

Lin Yuan sighed in response.

A resounding boom echoed as the Sky-Piercing Dragon gently landed on the ground. Lu Yu and the black-robed man disembarked and approached Lin Yuan.

City Lord Lin, this is the mastermind. He was about to escape when I arrived, but I managed to apprehend him.

Excellent work, Lu Yu. You are truly formidable. If you hadnt intervened, this man would have definitely escaped!

Lin Yuan approached with a smile. The man in black then removed his hood.

City Lord Lin, youre still alive. What a shame.

You scoundrel, do you truly wish for my demise?

But worry not, the one who will perish next is you, not me.

Lin Yuan, placing his hands on his hips, scrutinized the man. Tell me, what is your name, and where do you hail from?

My name is Kane. I originate from the Demon Lord Abyss, and I am a Great Summoner.

Dont be so arrogant just yet. It wont be long before you obediently submit to me and release me.

Lin Yuan burst into laughter. How ludicrous! How utterly ludicrous!

I should release you? That would be a betrayal of all the people of Jasper City who made sacrifices!

You villain, youre delusional! You still expect me to let you go? Ridiculous!

Lin Yuan then noticed the staff in Kanes hand.

Thats the culprit, isnt it? Hand it over!

If youre unwilling to relinquish it even at the cost of your life, Ill torture you and show you the true meaning of cruelty!

Kane chuckled and produced the staff. Very well, Ill give it to you.

However, you have no idea how to use it. Even if you did, it wouldnt matter. Your mana is insufficient to power it. Furthermore, youll be returning it to me very soon.

Kane offered a confident smile.

Lin Yuan scoffed. Youre quite bold. Even if I cant use it, Id rather keep it as a collection than give it back to you!

Is that so? Whatever, take it. But youll be returning it soon enough.

He spoke calmly, as if it would truly unfold as he wished.

Lin Yuan s.n.a.t.c.hed the staff from his hand and handed it to a nearby servant.

Is that so? It seems you have a stubborn streak. Ill show you my methods later. Youd better tell me everything you know. Otherwise, youll face a very miserable, agonizing death!

Kanes eyes turned icy. He raised his head and met Lin Yuans gaze. Come at me then. Show me if youre truly a threat.

Excellent! Well said. Men, take him to the dungeon and use every means necessary to make him talk!

Under the watchful eyes of two burly soldiers, Kane was hauled to the dungeon.

The dank and gloomy dungeon reeked of decay. Kane was confined to the largest cell, a chamber overflowing with various torture instruments, each gleaming with a chilling light that sent s.h.i.+vers down ones spine. Rusty chains and shackles adorned the walls, while the floor was caked in a thick layer of dust, a silent testament to the inhumane acts that had transpired within. A single, rickety wooden bed, covered in a tattered straw mat, stood in the center of the cellKanes future abode.

Not a single ray of sunlight penetrated the cells interior. Only a few flickering oil lamps illuminated Kanes figure. Time seemed to have frozen in this environment, shrouded in endless darkness and suffocating silence.

Kane, now chained, was about to face the brutal reality of torture.

Still refusing to talk? I need to know who sent you, your ultimate goal, and how you acquired your power. Explain everything clearly, or prepare to suffer!

Kane looked up at him. Youre an interesting one. If youre so eager to come at me, then do it.

Very well. Come and torture me!

Lin Yuan waved a hand, and a guard entered, armed with steel needles. He proceeded to pierce Kanes skin, drawing blood.

Lu Yu stood by, observing silently. It seemed Kane wanted to be hurt.

In his mind, Lu Yu consulted the Nightmare Dragon, seeking insight into Kanes mental state. The response revealed that Kane was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, with minimal fluctuations in his spirit. Only when the needles pierced his flesh did his mind exhibit significant disturbances. Otherwise, he remained unaffected.

Lu Yu turned to Lin Yuan. It seems this individual might need to be injured to send a signal.

What? Is that so? Lin Yuan was perplexed.

He might have a battle pet outside the city. Perhaps theres a connection between them. When hes hurt, his battle pet senses its master in danger and comes to his aid.

Of course, this is just speculation, not a guarantee. Since he can transform into a giant creature, his battle pet would likely exhibit similar abilities, making it larger and stronger.

Lu Yus words caused Lin Yuan to ponder deeply. What you say makes sense.

Stop! Dont continue!

Lin Yuan glanced over and saw that four steel needles had pierced Kanes skin, causing blood to flow.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes at Kane, who was returning a cold stare. Youre quite perceptive, but its too late.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan, let me tell you, even if you dont attack, Ill find a way. Youre finished!

The strongest dragon I tamed, the Giant Crag Dragon, has grown three to four times its original size. It will come for me now. Everything will be destroyed under its mighty tread!
