140 As Long as It Works

Seeing that Liu Hongshan was actually able to take the sword energy head-on, Huo Qiyun’s expression couldn’t help but turn solemn.

Although he did not use his full strength in this strike, he used at least 70% of his strength. Even Lin Ran probably wasn’t confident that he could take it. Where did Liu Hongshan get his courage from?

While feeling confused, Huo Qiyun accidentally saw Xiao Huai’s reaction and he was more confused.

Even when the sword energy swept past her, Xiao Huai did not react at all. However, the moment Liu Hongshan raised his hand, a fearful expression actually appeared on her stiff face.

!!

It was not worry or smugness, but a deep fear!

At the same time, the sharp sword energy had already arrived in front of Liu Hongshan.

Huo Qiyun hurriedly pulled his thoughts back, wanting to see what Liu Hongshan was going to do. Unexpectedly, a strange scene happened—

The moment the sword energy touched Liu Hongshan’s palm, it actually disappeared into thin air with a puff!

It was a disappearance in the trust sense of the word. Not only did the peak return to silence, but even the sword intent that Huo Qiyun had put into the sword energy disappeared!

“That’s impossible!”

Huo Qiyun subconsciously exclaimed, his childish face filled with fear!

Forming one’s sword intent was the prerequisite for one to go from a Commoner to a Martial Master. Therefore, to the martial artists of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, sword intent was like another pair of eyes or another pair of hands.

When the sword intent he released disappeared, Huo Qiyun felt as if one of his eyes had been dug out.

That was impossible!

Seeing how panicked Huo Qiyun was, Liu Hongshan looked disdainful. “I heard that you’re a rare genius. Why? Are you terrified by this small trick”

“Small trick?”

Huo Qiyun’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly recalled every detail of Liu Hongshan’s actions in his mind. After a moment, he suddenly smiled. “Master Liu, you’re really too humble. This trick of yours is by no means small!”

Although he was smiling, Huo Qiyun’s eyes began to reveal deep fear just like Xiao Huai.

At this moment, Huo Qiyun hoped that he was thinking too much, but seeing how afraid Xiao Huai was, he knew that he had most likely guessed the truth.

“Now…”

Liu Hongshan suddenly spoke and slowly stretched out his right hand. “Can you give me the Sacred Abyss Sword?”

Huo Qiyun’s expression turned cold as he subconsciously grabbed the bag with the Sacred Abyss Sword in it with a hesitant expression.

Lotus Town, in a nameless house.

Lin Ran was tied to a chair with his head lowered. He was disheveled and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

His clothes were also tattered, and his exposed skin was covered in blood. His hands that were tied behind him were even more mangled.

Hong Liquan stood opposite him with a steel needle that was nearly a foot long. He looked worried. “Brother Lin, are we really going to do this?”

Lin Ran suddenly looked up and grinned, revealing two rows of blood-stained white teeth. “I’m doing you a favor. You can finish your job and I can achieve my goal… We can have it both ways. Why not?”

“No, I just feel…”

Hong Liquan paused for a moment, as if he did not know what to say. After a few seconds, he said, “With your strength, not many people in this yard can stop you from leaving. Why do you have to do this?”

“As long as it works, it’s fine.”

Lin Ran chuckled and stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly thought of Huo Qiyun, who had said the same thing last time, and couldn’t help but look worried.

“I wonder how that kid is doing now.”

Lin Ran thought to himself and lost the mood to chat. He raised his chin at Hong Liquan and instructed, “Cut the crap. Hurry up and call your main official over. The sooner this ends, the sooner I can leave.”

Hong Liquan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Then I’ll go now. Remember to hide your cultivation. After all, the effect of the drug hasn’t worn off yet.”

Lin Ran nodded to indicate that he understood. After Hong Liquan left, he pretended to be unconscious and suppressed his cultivation to an extremely low level.

After about fifteen minutes, the door opened again and Hong Liquan walked in with a sinister-looking middle-aged man holding a folding fan.

As soon as he entered, Hong Liquan said in a low voice, “Commander Tong, I’ve already tortured him. He really doesn’t seem to know anything.”

“It’s not up to you and me to decide if he knows anything or not.”

Commander Tong said coldly, pointing the folding fan in his hand at the sky. “The higher-ups have the final say, understand?”

“I understand, I understand!”

Hong Liquan nodded repeatedly, but Commander Tong ignored him. He took a few steps forward and came to Lin Ran’s side. He raised Lin Ran’s chin with the fan and narrowed his eyes to observe him carefully.

A moment later, Commander Tong turned his gaze to the teacup on the table. “Did you give him drugs?”

Hong Liquan nodded and said, “Yes, his cultivation is at the peak of the Senior Martial Master Realm. If he is not drugged, these tortures can do very little to him.”

Commander Tong nodded. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he paused for a moment and asked, “Did he draw the appearance of the person who stole the sword?”

“Yes, please take a look!”

As Hong Liquan spoke, he picked up three portraits from the table.

This was what Lin Ran had drawn previously. Apart from the first portrait of Liu Hongshan, the other two were drawn by him randomly. If they could find the corresponding people, it would be really impressive.

Commander Tong glanced at the portrait and a smile finally appeared on his sinister face. “You did well. There’s news from the Medal Guards that it can basically be confirmed that there are a total of three sword thieves… Call the Wood Guards over to treat him.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Commander Tong!”

Hong Liquan hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him. Seeing that Commander Tong was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, “Commander Tong, after this person is treated by the Wood Guard, should we let him go or imprison him for a while?”

“Bury him.”

Commander Tong said coldly without looking back.

Hong Liquan was stunned when he heard this. Actually, he was just asking casually. He did not expect to receive such an answer!

Lin Ran, who was pretending to be unconscious, was also stunned. His suppressed cultivation almost surged back up uncontrollably!

According to the procedure, if they really couldn’t get anything out of LIn Ran, Lin Ran would normally be let go after being treated. At most, he would be warned not to speak nonsense. Why did they want to bury him?

As if sensing Hong Liquan’s confusion, Commander Tong, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and pointed at the sky with his fan again. “This is what the higher-ups ordered. Do it cleanly.”

“Higher-up?”

Lin Ran frowned. Was this “higher-up”… the empress?
