498 Interrogation (1/2)
The Young Lord spoke till here. And, a gratified expression swept across the Huang Ancestor's face. In fact, he even smoothed his beard and smiled. But, the Young Lord again spoke-up, ”However, we need to divide these matters into two main parts. Our main aim is the Bone Tempering Pills. We mustn't fail at this. The second is the Huang Family's enmity. We have to take revenge for them as well. Therefore, we must balance this. But, I'm sure that Senior Huang has a plan for this…?”
His words were so sleek that no one would be offended by them. But, he had still managed to point out that they couldn't fail when it came to the task of the Bone Tempering Pills. That was their most important objective.
The Huang Ancestor muttered for a while at first. Then, he spoke up, ”We've determined that the Bone Tempering Pills are related to the Jun and the Tang Families. We can question them about the whereabouts of the Bone Tempering Pills if we move now. We could also ascertain the identity of the individual who has refined those Bone Tempering Pills. Perhaps we can get the recipe for those pills as well. Then, all our problems will be solved, and we can forge ahead. And, we can slaughter without misgivings after that happens — it wouldn't even matter whether it is the Jun, Tang… or even the Dugu Family.”
”Senior Huang is absolutely correct. But, we can't make a move against those three families before the matter regarding the Bone Tempering Pills is settled,” the Young Lord spoke calmly.
”That's obvious. However, it would be impossible for us to find out those Bone Tempering Pills' whereabouts if we were to rely on the current strength of the Huang Family. I fear that we require a few people from our side to make it a sure thing,” The Huang Ancestor looked at the several purple-clothed people, and flashed a dark smile.
The Young Lord nodded slightly.
Those people cupped their fists, and said, ”We won't shirk from our responsibility. We'll do it for the sake of the Illusory Ocean of Blood!”
The Huang Ancestor snorted and said, ”There's no time to lose. We'll make our move tonight!” His gaze underwent a transformation. And, his glare shot out like two sharp arrows from his eyes. They contained an unparalleled murderous aura…

It was a windy and moonless night. Murder and arson had pervaded the skies.
Jun Mo Xie's predictions were about to come true. Tang Yuan was constantly cursing. [Damn him and his inauspicious remarks! His words are coming true! Things are about to get very bad!]
Everyone at the Aristocratic Hall was jittery and paranoid. They treated anything suspicious as an enemy. Many high-level experts had charged roaring, and had left screaming. Waves after waves of them had been coming. In fact, there was almost no time for rest.
This night had been particularly busy.
The two Sky Xuan experts — Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang — had already dealt with three or four waves of attacks. And, one of those waves had been rather tough. In fact, they had to strive with their entire strength in order to repel it. They were extremely tired and sleepy, and were thinking of washing up and resting. But, this is when another wave arrived. The two men became extremely angry. [Dammit, you still won't let us go sleep!]
Consequently, the two men charged out somewhat crazily. They chased the attackers with red eyes till none of them were left alive. They had been sulking about their ordeal the entire time. They eventually returned victorious to the Aristocratic Hall, but found out that Tang Yuan was done for…
The window in Tang Yuan's room had noiselessly opened when Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang had rushed out. Two men had entered the room like floating clouds. Tang Yuan was on his bed at this time. In fact, his snores were loud enough to shake the heavens…
The two men saw that huge monster on the bed, and looked at each other. Then, they shook their heads…
[This one is too fat!] They had planned on dragging him out the room before setting about the interrogation. However, they saw the elephant-like size of that man. And, both of them dispelled their initial idea on the spot.
[Flying away while carrying this huge and obese man would be an extremely difficult task. In fact, even the prospect of getting him through the Aristocratic Hall's door could be challenging. After all, the target is too big. Moreover, it would extremely difficult to find a place to hide him if needed.]
[This amount of effort would be akin to a test of strength for us. And, just look at him… He looks extremely fat and greasy.] Merely looking at him was disgusting for them! What could one speak for the idea of carrying him away…? Anyway, couldn't they get right to the point and interrogate him there itself?
It had to be said that growing fat wasn't a good thing. But, it would turn into a blessing for Fatty Tang whenever he'd run into such matters. In fact, it was an excellent thing! Heavens knew how much he would've suffered if he was kidnaped by those two men. In fact, he may not have returned even if he had told them everything.
This situation was a great illustration that even a single peck of the grain can provide help when everything seems lost…
The two men floated to the bedside. One of them extended their hand, and patted Tang Yuan's forehead. But, Tang Yuan turned to the other side. His muscles continued to palpitate, and he kept snoring…
The two men were stunned by this. They had never expected him to be so unvigilant and at ease. [He didn't wake up even after his head was hit.]
Then, there were two ”Bangs!” as they slapped Fatty twice on the face. However, he was still in deep sleep. One of the men got mad. He grabbed the collar of Fatty Tang's night clothes, and forced him to sit up on the bed. Fatty's huge and elastic belly covered his legs as this happened.
Tang Yuan's hands drooped, his head tilted, and saliva streamed out of his drooling mouth. Even his snoring hadn't ceased…
”Damn!” One of the two black-clothed men had a good sense of humor. He found this rather funny. He gave a long sigh, ”This Old Man has lived for nearly two-hundred years. But, this is the first time that I'm seeing someone who can sleep like this! Didn't this guy get any sleep in his past life? We've beaten him so much, and he still hasn't woken up. This is simply legendary!”
