Master Jue glanced at Feng Wu and said casually, “Let’s go.”
Feng Wu nodded and followed him.
There was a silent tunnel up ahead, so silent that it was scary. They could hear each other’s breathing.
The silence only accentuated the awkwardness.
A few times, Master Jue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Feng Wu’s stare.
Master Jue could only sigh to himself.
They walked through the dark tunnel before reaching a dark room.
It was a small square room built from a special material that was used to imprison capable cultivators.
The door opened with a click.
Feng Wu was filled with rage when she saw the scene inside.
Her pupils contracted and her eyes went blood-red.
Chaoge was tied to a pillar with her hands chained down. She was covered in wounds and blood…
At that moment, Feng Wu wanted to kill Master Jue right there and then!
Master Jue immediately felt her rage, and he gave her a sidelong glance. “What?”
How sharp!
Naturally, Feng Wu couldn’t say anything. She fought that impulse with all her strength.
After taking a deep breath, Feng Wu smiled a little. “She’s been tortured.”
The blood on Chaoge looked fresh. Feng Wu could put the wounds to within an hour.
She had been abused!
“Yes.” Master Jue didn’t think much of it. “It was Xiao Yun, probably.”
Xiao Yun? Who was that?
Feng Wu couldn’t ask. She could only make a mental note of that name.
Master Jue seemed to see the dissatisfaction in Feng Wu’s eyes, so he explained, which was very rare for him. “This Duan Chaoge is quite interesting.”
Feng Wu said, “Really?”
“Between her life and her friend, she chose the latter, which was a really odd choice. However, because she was the first person to ever make that choice, I let her live.
“Don’t worry. I only kill people. I don’t torture them. If you’re not happy…”
Feng Wu looked expectantly at Master Jue.
Master Jue was suddenly very happy, because he liked it when Yan looked at him like that.
“If you don’t want to see blood, how about I let you take care of this Duan Chaoge?”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “Can I?”
Master Jue smiled meaningfully. “Of course you can. You know I want nothing more than to have you stay.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
“This Duan Chaoge…” Feng Wu hesitated.
“We were using her existence to get rid of Feng Wu, but Feng Wu isn’t very important herself. What’s important is Jun Linyuan who’s behind her,” said Master Jue.
Feng Wu asked, “How are we going to get rid of Feng Wu?”
Feng Wu found this disguise as Catnine very worthwhile. People just kept telling her how they would work against her.
Master Jue smiled. “Yan, do you know her? You sound like you care a lot about her.”
Feng Wu said, “She tricked me once.”
“She did? How bold. Yan, don’t worry. She’ll be crying soon.”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
Master Jue said, “Because of Jun Linyuan.”
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched. “What about Jun Linyuan? It seems that the Junwu Empire thinks that he’s missing.”
Master Jue smiled. He was about to speak, when Chaoge woke up from her unconsciousness.
“What are you going to do to Xiao Wu?!”
