Chapter 783 Torture and Interrogation
“Brother Li, we’re off to bring the fruit trees back to you,” said Nanan and Dragin. Then, they rushed out of the four-part architecture. Blackie, who was bored out of his mind and lying on the ground, looked at the two girls’ retreating figures. He rolled his eyes, jumped up, and quickly followed them.
Meanwhile, at the Su family’s home on the Promise Star, the entire Su family had been reduced to prisoners with Master Thunder as their captor. In the Su family’s yard, in addition to Master Thunder, there was also a middle-aged man in a black long shirt, who was looking at Master Thunder in surprise.
“Master Thunder, surely it’s not worth calling me here just to tell me that you got your hands on the blood-clotting fruit tree and blood-filled fruit vines.” The middle-aged man’s tone was a little displeased as he continued, “Is this what you call a matter of great importance? Did you ask me to come here just so you could show off?”
The middle-aged man was Master Lightning, one of the four domain masters. He was also a half-step Wisdom Dictator. Not long ago, he received a message from Master Thunder claiming that he had discovered a matter of great importance that contained a huge opportunity. Hence, he rushed over as quickly as possible. In fact, he even moved around his schedule to accommodate him.
“Haha, of course not.” Master Thunder smiled and said, “Master Lightning, this matter is no trivial matter. We’ll definitely be able to make an extraordinary contribution to the Heaven Plundering Alliance if we pull this off. You and I always had an amicable relationship, so I’d like to share this opportunity with you.”
Master Lightning narrowed his eyes and he asked, “And what opportunity may that be?”
“After I sent my men to get the blood-filled fruit from the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension, I unexpectedly came across a bunch of extraordinary people, or to be more accurate, two people and one cow. They’re definitely hiding some kind of world-shocking secret behind them,” replied Master Thunder.
‘Two people and one cow? What kind of lineup is that?’ Master Lightning’s brows furrowed deeper, thinking that Master Thunder was pulling his leg. His expression gradually turned cold. “What secrets can there be?”
Master Thunder paid no mind to Master Lightning’s attitude. “The two people and one cow didn’t only bring out seventy-two Origins treasures from the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension, but they also brought out the blood-clotting fruit tree and the blood-filled fruit vines! You of all people should know the significance of this.”
Master Lightning’s pupils shrank rapidly and his expression finally turned into shock. One would require an extraordinary method to be able to bring out the blood-clotting fruit tree and the blood-filled fruit vines. Originally, he thought that the fruit tree and vines were brought out by the Thunder Master using some special method, so he was shocked to know that it was the two people and cow who brought it out.
“How did they do it?” he asked.
“And that is the million-dollar question. They have so many tricks that they managed to escape my grasp,” said Master Thunder with a smile.
Master Lightning nodded and said, “I have to admit that I find the whole thing interesting, but I really want to know why you called me here.”
“I have a hunch that they’ll come back for the fruit tree. Think of all the contributions to the Heaven Plundering Alliance we could bring once we join forces to take them down,” answered Master Thunder.
In actual fact, he felt that it was not safe for him to go at it alone, so he called Master Lightning for help. Master Thunder had always been cautious. Nanan and the others had certainly left a deep impression on him. Coupled with their mysterious origin, he knew he could not underestimate them if they really came back for revenge. Master Lightning being there would greatly increase his chance of winning the battle.
Master Lightning saw the scruples in Master Thunder’s eyes but chose not to point it out. Instead, he just said evenly, “I hope they do come back for revenge. If not, this trip will be wasted.”
At that moment, a man in black armor walked over quickly and said respectfully, “Greetings, Masters. I’m here to report that the dictator bloodline of the original Su family’s young master Su Chen was taken away and he was subsequently exiled to the Ancient Forbidden Area. He should’ve died there, but instead, he came back with the two people and the cow not long ago. They performed a flawless counterattack on those who wronged him.”
“The Ancient Forbidden Area?!” exclaimed Master Thunder and Master Lightning in unison. They looked at each other and saw the disbelief and excitement in each other’s eyes.
“So, it turns out that this matter has something to do with the Ancient Forbidden Area. Hahaha! This makes it even interesting! There’s definitely something earth-shattering going on around there!” said Master Thunder excitedly.
Master Lightning’s anger disappeared instantly and he said excitedly, “Master Thunder, it’ll definitely be a great achievement if we pull this off. Maybe we’ll even be handsomely rewarded and we might get to breakthrough to the true realm of Wisdom Dictator! You’re truly a good friend for sharing this opportunity with me.”
“Bring Su Chen to me now!” ordered Master Thunder hurriedly. “And bring his father, Su Changhe, too.”
In no time at all, Su Chen and Su Changhe were brought over. Master Thunder stared at Su Chen and got straight to the point. “Tell me, Su Chen, is your recovery related to the Ancient Forbidden Zone? What opportunity did you come across there?!”
Su Chen’s eyes were blurred. In his eyes, Master Thunder seemed to be as big as heaven and earth and his tone carried an irresistible majesty. All this made him want to answer his questions. However, he suddenly recalled all the pressure he had to suffer during his time as a gong farmer and Master Thunder’s image shattered, causing him to wake up from his daze instantly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” answered Su Chen. Master Thunder sneered and said, “You keep surprising me. Not everybody can break free from my coercion.”
“Boy, don’t play stupid with us. We’ll make sure the Heaven Plundering Alliance rewards you well if you tell us everything you know. Why, even the entire Su family will rise to great heights. On the other hand, I’ll make sure the Su family dies if you don’t tell us what you know, and I’ll start with your father!” threatened Master Lightning coldly.
Coercion and temptation-Su Chen had been put between a rock and a hard place. Still, he chose not to divulge anything.
Master Lightning’s eyes turned cold. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Su Changhe. Instantly, a gray flame erupted on Su Changhe’s body.
“Ahhh-!” Su Changhe did not have any burn marks on his body, but his face was extremely distorted as if he was enduring boundless pain.
“This is the soul-refining demon flame which burns the Primordial Spirit. The pain is ten thousand times that of having one’s body dismembered. Your father’s Primordial Spirit should provide enough fuel for the flame to burn for ten thousand years!” The corner of Master Lightning’s lip curled up into a cruel smile. “Ten thousand years of boundless pain. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s terrifying just thinking about it”
“Father!” Su Chen’s forehead bulged with blue veins. He clenched his fists tightly while his body trembled nonstop. He looked at Su Changhe with guilty red eyes.
Su Changhe endured the unimaginable pain and struggled to say, “Don’t… Tell… Them… Anything!”
“I must say both father and son’s loyalty is really commendable.” Master Thunder laughed. He then raised his hand and a long black worm appeared. “This kind of worm lives on human blood and flesh. The itching and pain aren’t something you can imagine. Can you really bear to see your father’s Primordial Spirit being burnt while he’s being eaten alive?”
“Ahhh
!”
Su Chen’s mana exploded violently, making him look like a madman. However, he still found himself unable to move an inch. “I’m sorry, father! This is all my fault!!”
“What a filial son you have, Su Changhe,” said Master Lightning sarcastically. Then, he raised his hand, ready to inject the worm into Su Change’s body.
