Chapter 1819: Chapter 1816: Reversal

"Oh, you’re awake?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, followed by the appearance of the young man’s figure in front of Ling Feng.

Ling Feng raised the shackles on his hands and said calmly, "Is this how your Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce treats its customers?"

The young man laughed indifferently, "Customers? Do you think you deserve that? You’re just a Loose Cultivator. How do you have the right to possess a Divine Artifact? Do you not understand the principle that one who possesses a treasure is guilty without crime?"

Ling Feng sneered, "Is this the reason you drugged and sealed my cultivation?"

"Isn’t that reason enough?" the young man said calmly, "If we didn’t want more information from your mouth, do you think you’d still be alive? You would’ve been dead long ago!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, "So you mean I should thank you for not killing me?"

"That’s not necessary!" The young man waved his hand and said, "As long as you cooperate with us, we won’t make things too difficult for you!"

"Speak, how do you need me to cooperate?" Ling Feng said calmly.

"First, where did you get your Divine Artifact?" the young man asked, "And don’t try to fob me off with the excuse that it’s a family heirloom!"

Ling Feng shrugged, "You saw through it; that’s right, the Treasured Sword is indeed not a family heirloom. I stole it from a treasure vault!"

"What treasure vault? What else did you steal?" The young man’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but ask.

Ling Feng’s mouth curled into a grin, "I said I stole it from the Storm Sect’s treasure vault. Do you believe it?"

"Storm Sect?" The young man couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is what you’re saying true?"

Ling Feng said lazily, "Of course it’s true. Not only that, I stole far more than just a Treasured Sword. I have many Divine Artifacts, but I’ve hidden them!"

The young man’s breathing quickened, "Just fess up, where are your Divine Artifacts hidden? As long as you hand them over, our Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce won’t treat you poorly!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes and said, "Won’t treat me poorly? Do you think I believe that?"

"Do you think you have any other choice now?" The young man said coldly, "Don’t forget, right now, you’re at our mercy; your life is in my hands!"

Ling Feng said disdainfully, "Then go ahead and try. Do you really think these few harmless threats can scare me? It’s utterly laughable!"

A hint of anger surfaced on the young man’s face; he couldn’t understand why the man in front of him, already in a prisoner’s predicament, was so calm in front of him. Did he truly not know the terror of the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce?

"Fine, let’s see if you can still act tough later!" The young man composed himself and said, "I’ll show you the means of our Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce!"

With that, the young man was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment!" At this time, Ling Feng suddenly called out to him.

The young man displayed a smug smile on his face; he knew the other party would surely compromise!

"What else do you want to say?" The young man turned around and asked mildly.

Ling Feng smiled, "I just wanted to ask, you came in alone, right? You’re worried that news of my Divine Artifact might get out, aren’t you?"

The young man frowned, "What do you mean?"

Ling Feng exhaled, "I can see it from your expression, so..."

Saying so, Ling Feng mustered the power of his flesh. With a crack, the shackles binding him were shattered by Ling Feng’s physical strength!

"This... how is this possible!" The young man’s eyes widened in disbelief, seemingly unable to accept what had just happened before his eyes.

After shattering the shackles, the sealed cultivation immediately returned to Ling Feng. He looked at the young man with a playful smile, "Now is it you at my mercy, and I the wielder of power?"

The young man’s expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly retreated, but it was too late! With a grasp of Ling Feng’s right hand, the young man felt as if a massive invisible hand had seized him, pinning him to the spot!

"You can’t kill me. If you kill me, the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce won’t let you go!" Seeing the murderous intent in Ling Feng’s eyes, the young man shouted urgently.

Ling Feng sneered, "If I don’t kill you, will the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce spare me?"

The young man’s face showed a regretful expression. To prevent others from knowing about Ling Feng’s possession of a Divine Artifact, he had already instructed the guards of the dungeon to leave before coming in, otherwise he wouldn’t be in this predicament!

"My grandfather is one of the Elders of the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce. If you kill me, they will pursue you relentlessly!" The young man quickly said, "We haven’t reached a point of life or death; as long as you let me go, we won’t retaliate against you later!"

Ling Feng shook his head and said regretfully, "It’s a pity you still don’t realize your situation. But you are right about one thing; you still have some value to me!"

The young man showed a look of wild joy, "That’s right, I still have value, so killing me isn’t worth it!"

The Mo Yu Sword in Ling Feng’s hand flashed, and the sharp Sword Qi was pressed against the young man’s throat, "Now, I ask and you answer. If you dare lie, I’ll cut your throat immediately!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll answer your questions and cooperate!" Feeling the Sword Qi from the Mo Yu Sword, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the young man’s forehead.

Ling Feng said sternly, "Are all the captured people held in this dungeon?"

"That’s right, this dungeon is used to imprison the captured criminals!" the young man quickly replied.

"Have you captured two people from an alternate dimension?" Ling Feng asked.

"Alternate dimension people? Do you mean those from beyond the Ancient Ruins?" the young man cautiously asked.

Ling Feng nodded, realizing they were indeed held by the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce.

"They are indeed held here, but in a deeper place, guarded by experts from the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce. Even I can’t enter easily!" said the young man.

Ling Feng frowned, "Aren’t you the grandson of an Elder? How can you not enter?"

"Because it’s a place for important figures!" The young man forced a smile, "Only those at the Elder level can come and go freely!"

Ling Feng frowned, "Are those people truly that important?"

"I heard from my grandfather that those people came to plunder the resources of the Ancient Ruins. Likewise, we from the Ancient Ruins will also strike against them!" The young man swallowed and said, "By capturing them, we can use them as a breakthrough point to capture all the invaders from the outside world!"
