Chapter 529: Chapter 343: Extreme Speed, Interrogation_2

However, he didn’t do anything dramatic; his figure flitted swiftly, and he quickly entered the Wei Mansion.

Under the guidance of Divine Soul Sensing, Lu Qing directly made his way to the yard where the elder doctor resided.

“Master.”

“Ah Qing,” the elder doctor turned around.

“Young Master Lu!”

Wei Xinghe shuddered, surprise flashing in his eyes.

How long had it been since he dispatched the Flying Eagle Communication, and Lu Qing had already arrived at the county?

“Wei Family Master.”

Lu Qing didn’t mind Wei Xinghe’s surprise. After nodding to him, he turned his attention to the several figures in black lying on the ground.

“So these are the assassins from Wujian Building?”

“I can’t be completely sure, but their aura is identical to that of the assassins from Wujian Building who tried to assassinate us in Holy City.

Right, there was one more formidable assassin. He seems to carry an Exotic Treasure on him, and I failed to capture him.

I don’t know if he’s still hiding somewhere in the city,” the elder doctor replied.

“One got away?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately closed his eyes, sensing the situation within the city.

The people lying on the ground also observed Lu Qing intently.

From the earlier conversation between the elder doctor and Wei Xinghe, they knew that this person before them must be their most important target of this mission.

He was the one who had recently stirred up endless troubles in the Central State Holy City.

Even with mental preparation, the assassins from Wujian Building were still shaken when they saw Lu Qing’s face.

They couldn’t help it; Lu Qing looked far too young.

It was hard for them to imagine that this young man before them was the terrifying presence that even Holy Mountain feared.

“I can’t find that person’s trace,” Lu Qing said after a moment, opening his eyes.

With his current Divine Soul Power almost on par with the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be nearly impossible for an Innate Realm cultivator to escape his Divine Soul Sensing,

unless it was someone like his master, who had a profound understanding of domains,

or someone who possessed a Magical Treasure specifically designed to hide their presence.

The master mentioned that the person carried an Exotic Treasure, so Lu Qing couldn’t be certain whether the individual was still hiding in the city.

However, that wasn’t important. Since the man had run away, disregarding even his comrades, Lu Qing supposed the man’s strength wouldn’t be too formidable.

Lu Qing’s gaze fell once again on the figures lying on the ground.

Information quickly surfaced, and his eyes showed a clear understanding.

Meanwhile, a bone-chilling sensation arose in the assassins’ hearts.

Somehow, they felt as if Lu Qing’s eyes contained a kind of magic,

as if all their secrets had nowhere to hide under his gaze.

“Master, these people are indeed assassins from Wujian Building.”

The elder doctor nodded, knowing that Lu Qing possessed some mysterious method of divination that could easily trace the origins of whatever he saw.

If he stated these men were the assassins from Wujian Building, it was undoubtedly the truth.

“Then Ah Qing, according to you, how should these people be dealt with?”

“There’s no hurry, let a disciple first inquire about some matters from them.”

Lu Qing turned to the men on the ground: “Do you wish to live or die?”

The assassins were stunned.

Before they could respond, Lu Qing continued, “If you wish to die, I can send you on your way right now.

If you want to live, then answer my questions honestly.

If I’m satisfied with your answers, I might spare your life.”

The assassins exchanged glances.

After a few moments of silence, one of them said, “Even ants cherish their lives, naturally, we want to live. What would Young Master like to inquire about?”

“Where is the entrance to the secret realm of Suspended Mountain?”

The question stupefied all the assassins.

They assumed Lu Qing would ask about their origins or their purpose for the assassination attempt.

They never imagined he would directly ask for the location of the entrance to the secret realm of Suspended Mountain.

After being taken aback, the one responsible for replying forced a smile, “Young Master must be joking. We are mere assassins; how could we be connected to the likes of Suspended Mountain, let alone know the whereabouts of their secret realm.”

“Which assassination organization can afford such a grand gesture, sending out five Innate Realm assassins at once?” Lu Qing said indifferently, “You don’t need to pretend in front of me.

I’m fully aware of your origins.”

“Years ago, Wujian Building was eradicated and its assassins were executed by the combined forces of the Major Sects.”

“It was only because someone from Suspended Mountain took you away and hid you in a secret realm that you, a group of rats from the gutter, managed to cling to life and regain your strength.”

“Tell me, where exactly is the entrance to the secret realm of Suspended Mountain?”

Several assassins stared blankly at Lu Qing.

They had not expected that Lu Qing not only knew their identities and origins,

but even the secrets that had been hidden for over a thousand years were known to him in such detail.

The events of that year were kept from not only the Major Sects but also Holy Mountain and the other Great Secret Lands.

But now, Lu Qing could recount them flawlessly, as if he had witnessed them firsthand.

You should know, even they had only learned of these matters through stories passed down within their clan.

“It seems that without a lesson, you really won’t take my words seriously,”

Lu Qing said as he shook his head at the few assassins’ stupefied expressions.

With a flick of his finger, he released a strand of strong energy.

With only the sound of a slight sizzle, the strong energy pierced the brow of one assassin.

That body, refined through numerous trials and pain, with its Innate Body, offered no resistance to Lu Qing’s energy, and was as if made of tofu.

Once the brow chakra was destroyed, there was no chance for the assassin to survive.

His eyes suddenly widened, his body stiffened, and the vital force and Divine Soul aura within him gradually dissipated.

“Leng Xin!”

Seeing the assassin dead, the others couldn’t help but cry out in grief.

“I’ll count to three. If no one answers my question, one of you will meet his fate,”

Lu Qing said coldly.

“We truly do not know, sir. Even if you threaten us with our lives, it will be to no avail,” one of the assassins shouted.

“One,” Lu Qing said indifferently.

“Do you really intend to be so ruthless and merciless?”

“Two.”

“There’s no such thing. How could we possibly tell you!”

“Three.”

When Lu Qing counted to three, without the slightest hesitation, he flicked another strand of strong energy at another assassin’s forehead.

As expected, this assassin’s brow was also penetrated by the energy, and he died on the spot.

“Leng Yi!”

Seeing yet another comrade dead, the remaining two assassins were furious, their eyes filled with hatred and venom as they looked at Lu Qing.

“Kid, I didn’t expect you to be so young and yet have such a cruel heart. You’d be more fitting for the way of the assassin than us,”

“I see you had no intention of letting us go from the start. You just wanted any excuse to take our lives.”

“There’s no need to put on an act in front of me.”

Facing the righteous indignation of the two assassins, Lu Qing remained unperturbed.

“Before you came here, you’d already killed quite a few people, hadn’t you?

Denial is pointless. The aura of sin on your bodies has already told me very clearly.”

The two assassins’ faces changed at this.

Lu Qing continued, “The assassins of Wujian Building have always been known for their cold-heartedness, cunning, and lack of boundaries.

Killing you all would be considered a meritorious act for the common good.

Now I’m being exceptionally merciful by giving you a chance to live.

If you fail to seize it, you can’t blame me anymore.

Moreover, I’ve changed my mind now. Only one of you two can live.

Whoever can tell me the answer before I finish counting to three will get the chance to live.

As for the other, you’ll have to go join your comrades below.”

In the wavering expressions of the two assassins, Lu Qing began to count again, “One.”

This time, the reactions of the two assassins were different.

One hesitated, but the other assassin shouted, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”

The hesitating assassin’s eyes widened in an instant.

He was about to say something, but it was already too late.

Before he could speak, the energy Lu Qing had flicked landed on his brow.

The very next instant, the assassin’s body stiffened, and his gaze began to fade.
