57 Tortured in Interrogation! (1/2)

Chu Tianlang immediately felt that something was wrong.

He lifted his head at once, his gaze turning sharp like a hawk’s and asked, “Who are you?”

With a lift of the corners of his lips, Yun Yang gave a cruel smile and spoke slowly, “I can tell you very clearly that – first, I’m not from His Majesty the Emperor’s side; second, I’m not with His Highness the crown prince; third, I am not from the Four Seasons Tower.”

The fear in Chu Tianlang’s eyes deepened as he realized that he had fallen into a trap, a vicious trap!

He had thought that he had found safety, able to escape from the four noble families but it seemed that he had gotten himself into a worse situation.

At least, he knew who the four great families were and their backgrounds. He knew nothing about this youth in front of him.

“All of your family members have died.” Yun Yang’s slow voice carried his words clearly. “So I can only find out what I want from you. However, I can’t threaten you.”

He looked at Chu Tianlang with a gaze as cold and calm as a pool of water in autumn. “I hope you’re ready.”

Chu Tianlang chuckled and said sternly, “You can try, see if you can retrieve anything useful from my mouth!”

Yun Yang said smiling, “Of course, of course. I am sure that you wouldn't tell me everything after just a mere slap. It wouldn't be fun that way, and there’s no sense of achievement from learning and applying.”

Chu Tianlang smirked, “I have nothing left but I still have this set of hard bones.”

“I would want to know how hard your bones really are.” Yun Yang said softly, “Do you not feel that your whole body is softening as we speak?”

Chu Tianlang was stunned, calling up his skills to check on himself but he suddenly realized that his mystical skills had vanished.

His dantian was bare and empty.

His muscles seemed to be loosening as well, even his bones felt brittle and sore; his teeth, too, had gone soft!

What accompanied these sensations were wave after wave of dizziness.

Shocked, Chu Tianlang remembered something as he lifted his head abruptly. “Immortals’ Odium?!”

Yun Yang snapped his fingers. “The Manor of Sirius’ master indeed, knows even of the Immortals’ Odium. I am impressed.”

Chu Tianlang’s expression was one of hopelessness.

Yun Yang moved a bench over and sat in front of him. “I still have a cup of tea’s time1 before the Immortals’ Odium completes its work and you become completely pliant under my hands. We can have a good chat then.”

Chu Tianlang shut his mouth tightly and closed his eyes, resentment flaring strongly in his heart. He was unwilling to look at Yun Yang or even listen to him!

Immortals’ Odium!

It was hearsay that this was an extremely vicious form of skill-spaying medication. One’s cultivation base could still be recovered after the effects of common skill-spaying medications or could be saved with an antidote.

It was impossible to do either with Immortals’ Odium!

One’s entire cultivation base would be rendered non-existent once the Immortals’ Odium entered one’s body, even the immortals in the heavens would become an ordinary commoner; at the mercy of others once they ingested Immortals’ Odium, which gave it its name.

He was doomed! Chu Tianlang was clear about that much, in his heart.

Even if he could escape alive, he was doomed nonetheless.

“I didn’t want to take you on, master of Manor of Sirius.” Yun Yang did not care if he was looking or listening to him and continued talking, “After all, you, Chu Tianlang, have a great reputation. Although you have sinned so many times that it would be hard to even list all of them, these are not under my control.”

Chu Tianlang almost wanted to block his ears; he did not want to listen to this wicked voice. Yet Yun Yang’s voice floated over like the wail of a siren as it slipped into his ears.

Hearing what he said, he could not help but want to ask, “You f*cking don’t want to take me on nor care about your father’s business. Then what am I f*cking doing here today?”

Then he heard Yun Yang say, “However, after I received word about you from someone, I immediately decided to destroy you!”

Chu Tianlang finally could not hold it in any longer and asked, “Who?”

Yun Yang smiled a friendly smile, “The nineteenth day of the first month!”

He had just betrayed Li Changqiu without so much as a blink of an eye.

“Nineteenth of the first month?” Chu Tianlang really wanted to grit his teeth but they were already sore. He faked nonchalance and said, “What nineteenth day of the first month? What does it have to do with me?”

Yun Yang then smiled. “What do you think, twenty-first of the first month? Hmm?”

Chu Tianlang felt weak all over.

He knew about the twenty-first day of the first month. What else did he not know about himself then?

“Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you, really?” Chu Tianlang shouted in a mad rage.

When and where had he gained such a formidable enemy?

His identity had been kept under wraps, how had it come to light?

“Who am I? You will know when I deign to tell you.” Yun Yang said gently, “But you have to follow instructions.”

Chu Tianlang looked at him with hostility and spat a mouthful of sputum towards him.

With a tilt of the head, the sputum flew past his ears. Yun Yang already had his hand stretched out in as he said smiling, “You dare to spit at me? Do you know what is the price for a mouthful of spit?”

One of his hands pressed against Chu Tianlang’s body, from his neck to his shoulders and then to his right arm. Simultaneously, his two fingers pressed against Chu Tianlang’s pulse.
