Chapter 1698: Caught the Wrong Person (2)

Yan Guichen looked at Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu strangely as he asked, Whats wrong with both of you today?

This

Dont be like this. Let me show you, Yan Guichen said before clapping his hands.

Two cultivators carried a stretcher into the hall. A person was tied up on the stretcher. His body was wide and chubby, and his mouth was bound. m.u.f.fled sounds could be heard from him.

Cult Leader Chu frowned. Didnt you say its the Unholy Ones treasure? Why is it a person?

Yan Guichen said, It is. Do you remember the Unholy Ones painting? More than 500 years ago, I deciphered the tenth character from the poem. Some time ago, I deciphered the eighth and the ninth characters.

The duo was shocked.

Yan Guichen continued to say, I understand now. The Unholy One was afraid the Ten Cla.s.sics would be taken away so he gave them to ten people. The person with the ninth character is protected by experts so its difficult for me to get close. However, through a talisman, I met the person with the eighth character.

Then, Yan Guichen pointed at the person on the stretcher.

Him?!

/

Cult Leader Zhou and Chu looked at the person on the stretcher in shock.

Yan Guichen said, Brothers, theres no need to feel so shocked that I managed to capture him.

Yan Guichen waved his hand, removing the gag from the captives mouth.

You! Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me? Let me tell you, Im from the Sacred Temple! I have a great background. Quickly let me go!

Yan Guichen leaned down slightly and looked at the captive with a profound gaze as he asked, Whats your name?

What does my name have to do with you?

Young man, its useless to be so stubborn. This is the Nihilist Congregation. Were not bound by the temple. If you want to live, you better cooperate obediently, Yan Guichen said.

Huh? The captive immediately wilted upon hearing these words.

Not bound by the temple? Its over!

Yan Guichen asked again, Whats your name?

If you have something to say, say it nicely. Dont do anything ras.h.!.+ I Im Zhu Im Old Eighth Zhu, the captive said. His att.i.tude had changed completely.

Yan Guichen spread his arms and said with a smile, This is heavens will! Hes Old Eighth Zhu, and he bears the mark of the eighth character.

Is this really a f*cking heavens will or did you force this logic?!

Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu were speechless.

Yan Guichen continued to say to Old Eighth Zhu, Let me introduce myself. Im Cult Leader Yan of the Nihilist Congregation. Our congregation isnt bound by the temple or the ten halls. We believe in the powerful Unholy One who ruled the world in ancient times.

The Unholy One? Old Eighth Zhu scratched his head. You have the wrong person. I dont know the Unholy One.

Yan Guichen said, The Unholy One left behind many treasures when he was alive. Among them are ten very unique cultivation methods. Grand Mystic Mountain called them the Ten Cla.s.sics. Each of them is a supreme cultivation technique.

To cultivators, they had to comprehend a cultivation technique every time they entered a new stage in their cultivation in order to improve their strength. Only by constantly comprehending difficult cultivation techniques would they grow stronger. However, only the Ten Cla.s.sics were different and could be comprehended from the beginning until the end.

The Unholy once left a character on each of the Ten Cla.s.sics, and you bear the eighth character on your body, Yan Guichen said. His tone darkened as he continued to say, As long as you hand over the eighth cla.s.sic, not only will I spare your life, but Ill also protect you. I can also satisfy your wishes.

Old Eighth Zhu was even more confused. He did not understand Yan Guichen at all. What eighth cla.s.sic? What eighth character? I really dont know

A wise man submits to circ.u.mstances, Yan Guichen said, Think carefully before you speak again.

Old Eighth Zhu wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He said, I really dont have any eighth cla.s.sics!

Yan Guichen waved his hand and said, Break his finger.

No, no, no, Ill talk. Ill talk, Old Eighth Zhu hurriedly said, My name is actually not Old Eighth Zhu. I made it up. Clearly, your deduction earlier is wrong, and youve captured the wrong person. My name is Zhu Honggong, and I worked in the Sacred Temple for years for many years now. If you dont believe me, you can ask around. If I lied, its not too late for you to come back and chop me into pieces.

Yan Guichens eyes lit up upon hearing this. He said excitedly, I was right! Brothers, the eighth character is Gong, and his name is Zhu Honggong!

Zhu Honggong:

F*ck! Does this person really like to turn coincidences into something fated?!

Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu were still stunned.

Yan Guichen chuckled and said to Zhu Honggong, I believe in my judgment. The eighth cla.s.sic is definitely with you. If you dont hand it over, Ill skin you alive and dismantle your bones. Ill find it eventually!

Zhu Honggong said helplessly, How can I make you believe me? Youve really caught the wrong person!

Yan Guichen was about to question Zhu Honggong again when Cult Leader Zhou suddenly stepped forward to stop him and said, Cult Leader Yan, put this matter aside for now. Theres Theres something more important I need to discuss with you.

What could be more important than the Ten Cla.s.sics? Yan Guichen was puzzled when he saw the grimexpressions on the duos faces.

Cult Leader Zhous expression and voice were extremely serious as he said, The Unholy One was here

Yan Guichen was shocked, but he quickly recovered. Then, he studied Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu carefully before he said, Brothers, this joke isnt funny at all. Dont delay my interrogation of the captive. Today, Ill definitely pull out his intestines to get what I want!

Yan Guichen was very focused on Zhu Honggong.

Zhu Honggong: ?

Cult Leader Zhou said, Cult Leader Yan, this isnt a joke. Du Chun is dead. The blood shamans divisionhas been disbanded. His life stone in the congregation has been reduced to ashes.

Du Chun is dead? Yang Guichen was shocked.

The duo nodded helplessly.

Cult Leader Chu explained, He was killed by the Unholy One. Cult Leader Yan, dont tell me you want to repeat Cult Leader Dus mistake?

Yan Guichen found the matter hard to believe and accept. He asked, Were you deceived?

Impossible! Cult Leader Zhou said, He has the tendons of the divine dragon, and he could control the Heavenly Dao Flag and the mysterious power of the earth!

The other members in the hall nodded in agreement, indicating that they had seen those scenes with their own eyes.

Yan Guicheng was shocked and speechless.

Cult Leader Chu took the opportunity to recount the Unholy Ones visit to the Nihilist Congregation. After that, he brought the talisman that Lu Zhou had given him and set it on the table as he said, This is the talisman the Unholy One gave us. As long as we light it, he will come to the congregation. If you dont believe me, Ill light the talisman now. By the way, he has also taken back his painting and the Ancestral Jade. Theres no need for you to comprehend or decipher the rest of the poem.

Yan Guichen:

Cult Leader Zhou added, This person Let him go quickly. Even if you manage to find the Ten Cla.s.sics, with what you know now, do you really dare to comprehend any of them?

Yan Guichen fell deep into his thoughts. The duos words had refreshed his worldview, causing his mind to turn chaotic. However, after he sorted his thoughts, he still found thematter difficult to accept. He paced back and forth in the hall, looking at Zhu Honggong and the other two cult leaders.

After a moment, Yan Guichen flew out of the hall to the Heavenly Dao Flag. He sensed the remnant energy in the air, and he trembled, aghast. He immediately realized the gravity of the situation. He rushed back into the hall and said, We cant release him!

Why? Cult Leader Zhou asked.

This person with the eighth cla.s.sic knows our secret! If we let him leave, he might bring us trouble! Yan Guichen said with a frown.

Then, what do you think we should do? Cult Leader Zhou asked.

Yan Guichen raised his hand and made the motion of slitting his neck as he said, Kill him to silence him.

Zhu Honggong: ???

Why am I being implicated when Im just lying on the ground?!

Zhu Honggong hurriedly raised his voice and said, If the three of you have something to say, then lets talk! I I know the whereabouts of the eighth cla.s.sic!

The trio turned and looked at Zhu Honggong in unison.

Humans were inherently greedy. This was a flaw that was difficult to overcome.

Since Yan Guichen was not around to witness the Unholy Ones might, he was not as frightened as Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu. Hence, he boldly asked, Where is it?

Zhu Honggong replied, Its very precious. Naturally, I dont have it on me!

These words made sense.

Cult Leader Zhou asked, puzzled, If you dont have it on you, how did the talisman track you?

Yan Guichen looked at Zhu Honggong and asked, You cultivated the cla.s.sic?

Yes! I cultivated it!

That makes sense. Then, where did you hide it? Yan Guichen asked.
