156 The Shadowy Figure (1/2)

Upon hearing Sima Yun's words, Ling Chen quickly deactivated his Gaze Of Destruction. At the same time, he used his light true qi energy to cure all of her injuries.

”Amitabha, this poor monk is listening now. What is the Shadow Guard and what do they want with this poor monk.” Ling Chen asked with an amiable smile on his face after he was done.

Even after torturing Sima Yun until blood began to stream from her seven orifices and splattering the ground, Ling Chen still put on the appearance of a wise monk as he placed his hands together while talking her.

It was if he wasn't the one torturing her earlier but someone else.

”Also, sorry about what happened earlier benefactor. Sometimes, this poor monk's inner demon takes over his body and do things that the poor monk couldn't even stomach.”

”Let's hope it doesn't come out again. Otherwise, this poor monk might not be able to stop him.” He added with a guilty look on his face.

He looked so harmless and good-natured. However, in the eyes of Sima Yun, he was scarier than the devil himself.

'Inner demon my ass!' Sima Yun cursed inwardly. However, she didn't dare to say that out loud. He could clearly tell that the monk was threatening her.

He was implying that he would kill her without mercy if she were to lie to him.

Facing this evil monk, Sima Yun finally understood what was considered to be real danger, ferocity, and cruelty.

Thinking about the extreme and indescribable pain she's been through, Sima Yun didn't dare to play any game and spilled all the beans about the Shadow Guard and the Sun God Palace.

It wasn't that she didn't play want to play smart and deceive Ling Chen, but she felt that she was stripped naked before the monk's eyes. And it wasn't just her body, she even felt that her very soul and mind were laid bare before the evil monk's eyes.

She had the feeling that the monk could see through her as if she was made of glass. As such, she didn't dare to lie to him.

....................

According to Sima Yun, just like the name implied, the Shadow Guard was a dark organization under the direct command of the Sun-Demi God her Majesty, one of the Ten Demi-Gods of the Heaven Suppression Region.

Unlike the other eight domains in the Heaven Suppression Regions which have many kingdoms and sects, the Sun Demi-God's Domain was ruled by Eight Great Ancient families.

Each one of them possessed a Region in the Sun Demi-God's Domain. Not only these Eight Great Ancient families were wealthy, but they were also powerful as well with many Peak Martial Martial Saint powerhouses.

These Eight Great Families have been ruling over their own specific region even before the Sun Demi-God had promoted into the Half-God rank.

These Eight Great families were deeply rooted in the Sun Demi-God's Domain. If they were to rise up, the Sun Demi-God's Domain would be shaken.

In order to keep them in check. The Sun Demi-God had created a powerful force known as the Bright Moon Guard and the Shadow Guard behind the scene.

If the Bright Moon Guard was the sword of the Sun Demi-God than the Shadow Guard was the shield and shadow.

The Bright Moon Guard was like a blazing sun that shone brightly and represented the will of the Sun Demi-God while the Shadow Guard was her Shadow

The Shadow Guard's mission was to assist the Bright Moon in the dark and deal with many things that can't be dealt with in the open.
