Chapter 543: Interrogation
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
“Eldest Young Master Yuchi said that you introduced him to deal with the dark forces.” Ye Qing Luo glanced one look at him as she spoke in a calm tone.
Dark forces?
When Duke Jing heard that, his expression turned flustered immediately as he subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave.
The youngsters standing at the entrance all stood upwards as they formed a human wall.
These youngsters looked slightly tender.
But the imposing manner they extruded suppressed Duke Jing so much that he took a few steps backwards.
“Tell us! How did you get in contact with the dark forces! Why did you make me and the dark forces do the deal!” Yuchi Peng saw the stuffed atmosphere as he bore with the intense pain from his wrist and turned his head to stare at Duke Jing.
The reason why he ended up in such an ending today with a severed right hand was all because of Duke Jing’s doing.
If it hadn’t been for Duke Jing who asked him to trade souls with the dark forces, then he wouldn’t have suffered the backlash.
If he hadn’t met Ye Qing Luo, he would have long became…..
Became a dried corpse! A dried corpse which had been engulfed by the dark forces!
Because of this, when Ye Qing Luo and Qiao Jin interrogated him about the dark forces, he said out Duke Jing’s name without any hesitation.
Ye Qing Luo saved Yuchi Peng and even brought the Iron Blood Warriors out from Death God Castle. Her main motive was to find out about the information regarding dark forces.
Not knowing if it was her misperception.
She seemed to feel that…. the dark forces’ aim seemed to be her.
There seemed to be more and more people around her who dealt with the dark forces.
“Yuchi Peng! You promised this Duke that you will not betray me!” Duke Jing’s expression was steely green as he returned to his own seat under the bunch of youngsters’ interrogation.
Yuchi Peng sneered, “You also vowed solemnly that this was merely a deal and will not affect my life! Do you know that I was almost engulfed by that strange energy today!”
“No, impossible…..”
Duke Jing’s pupils grew large, “That thing can lend you the strength which you need, why would it engulf…”
His words came to a halt as he lowered his head and looked at Yuchi Peng’s bandaged arm which looked obviously like it had been chopped off.
His body started to shake uncontrollably.
No wonder…..
Those cultivators who returned from Death God Castle alive carried him to this huge mansion.
On the journey here, he also heard about Yuchi Peng’s arm being chopped off.
Those cultivators spoke in an obscure manner.
Duke Jing understood the big picture which was Yuchi Peng’s huge axe which the black qi had attached itself to, almost engulfed Yuchi Peng.
Whereas Ye Qing Luo’s fan chopped off Yuchi Peng’s hand, thereby relieving him of being engulfed by that huge axe.
“Then Duke Jing, how did you get in touch with the dark forces and how did you do the deal.” Looking at Duke Jing’s expression, Ye Qing Luo knew that he understood what had happened as her lips curled into a smile which didn’t look quite like a smile.
This smile was not the kind of radiant smile earlier.
Duke Jing’s body turned cold as he felt goosebumps raising up on his entire body, his heart filled with terror.
Lifting his eyes to look at Ye Qing Luo, her eyes were half narrowed as she shot a sharp and stern gaze, which seemed to have struck his chest.
Duke Jing fell off the chair on his butt.
“This Duke…. This duke doesn’t know.”
“Hmm?” Ye Qing Luo’s brows rose, as her smile slowly turned chilly.
“This Duke really doesn’t know! This Duke had not dealt with the dark forces!” Duke Jing wrapped his hands around his head as he furiously shook it, “This Duke… this duke only heard that dark force’s energy can increase one’s power. As long as they are able to provide enough soul, dark forces will help you materialise all your wishes!”
Under The World group’s suppression and coercion, Duke Jing told his side of the story on how he met the dark forces…..
