A Deadly and Brutal Young Girl

I ordered Su Xiao: "Hurry and go help out. The guy outside likes to use sneak attacks. It'll be bad if he succeeds."

"REALLY?!"

Su Xiao was surprised when he heard me, and like the god of justice had possessed him again, he enthusiastically said: "I'll go take a look now. If there's a need when the time comes… Chop chop!"

His "chop chop" made me really want to stab him, but I knew that it was fine outside. Yes, Jia Yunfeng is Hua Shan's leader. Yes, he's a skilled martial artist in the pugilistic world. But, that depends on who he's up against.

Song Ou is Liu Shan Men's captain, Shen Yiren is the Vice-captain, and there's also Tang Ye whose martial arts skills are close to their levels, and yet Jia Yunfeng is trying to fight them three-on-one? He's dreaming.

I just wanted to send Su Xiao out and ask some questions I want answers to.

As soon as Su Xiao left, I picked up the leader of the four men and injected some of my internal energy into his body to wake him up.

His face looked down as soon as he awoke: "Kill me if you want, cut me if you please. I, Tan Dadao am a man, I won't sell out my master for riches or glory."

"I know." You just answered my questions.

I sealed his pressure point and he passed out again.

I then proceeded by picking the weakest one among the four. I injected my internal energy into him and he immediately woke up.

"Y-you!" He looked like he saw a ghost when he saw me. I immediately grabbed his neck so he couldn't speak and gave him an aggressive glare.

"Answer my questions honestly. I already asked that punk Tan Dadao, and he spilled the beans. If what you tell me doesn't match up, you know what's going to happen."

This scoundrel was so scared he pissed himself. He'll tell me everything for sure.

Further, since I was choking him by the neck, his blood flow would've been impeded so the chance of him lying due to having a foggy mind was reduced. This is a torture method for getting information out of people in the pugilistic world. I learnt it from a disciple from the Beggars' Sect when we were drinking together a few years ago.

"Why was the prince's record book in Cha Yuan's house in the Peach Village? How is all this related to the Demon Sect?"

"I… I don't know. Cough. Cough. Alright. Alright. I'll talk. It's like this."

I tightened my grip on his throat until his eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets and his face turned purple. Now his brain wasn't optimised for too much thinking and he started telling the truth because he couldn't stand it.

"Cha Yuan is a member of the emperor's entourage and is responsible for investigating those in the capital. He pretended to defect to the prince. We found out that he stole the records book in the residence and intended to report it to the emperor. The prince therefore sent people to capture him, but before he could be captured he was killed by those from Lan Jun Zhu Kong. We consequently thought that the records had been picked up by the Demon Sect and that they'd definitely threaten us with it. However, after a few months of waiting, nothing happened. That's why the prince thought he might've hidden it in his house before he died and sent people to search for it… Cough. Cough. Cough. Please spare me, sir!"

"Oh~ so Lan Jun Zhu Kong really were involved? Why did they kill Cha Yuan?"

"I really don't know."

I snapped at him: "Are you absolutely positive?!"

"Yes!"'

Okay, it looks like he really doesn't know. I was just scaring him to make sure.

The only plausible explanation is that the book contains secrets the Demon Sect doesn't want others to know, right? Killing people at every turn certainly is characteristic of them.

But this has nothing to do with me. I just needed to know who we offended and who was after whom. I just investigated the rest out of curiosity.

"Okay, thank you."

I chopped him on the neck which knocked him out.

I need to be low-key, avoid causing trouble and hand ball problems to my superiors.

Alright, that's the plan.

I stepped out of the Vermillion hall and then looked left and right. I then called: "Su Xiao. Tang Ye. Where are you guys…? HEY, SU XIAO, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

The scene before me scared me to death
