Chapter 189 The Secret of the Baili Family (Today's Third Update)
Baili Hao's expression changed slightly, and then he showed a puzzled look.
"What does Lord Longcheng mean?"
"I don't understand."
The speed at which his facial expression changes is truly unique.
If Chu Wujiang had not separated his mind and soul to keep a close eye on him, he would have been deceived by the other party.
Even though the Yuan Dan was sealed, there was still this technique of controlling facial expression.
It is true that there is no easy opponent for the masters in this world.
Chu Wujiang immediately separated his soul and thoughts, and while Baili Hao's Yuandan was sealed, he quickly invaded with his demonic thoughts.
The devil's bliss skill - the devil's heart is eroded!
Fear, confusion, greed, despair, etc., all negative emotions of sentient beings will be continuously amplified under the temptation of the devil, and eventually be defeated by emotions.
Humans are creatures that can be overwhelmed by emotions.
When a person is completely desperate, he or she may even go against the biological instinct for survival and choose to commit suicide.
The Devil's Heart Erosion is to constantly amplify negative emotions and eventually make people collapse. This is the supreme method to interrogate the enemy.
Sometimes, emotional breakdown can yield more important information than physical torture.
Chu Wujiang implanted the idea of the demon and said calmly:
"There's no point in hiding anything now. Tell us everything you know."
"Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be released will be released."
"This Marquis has already determined that Earl Zhongyong is the murderer."
"Tell me what you want, and I'll give you a quick death."
Baili Hao was able to gain the trust of Earl Zhongyong and serve as the chief steward, so he was naturally very strict with his words. Even if the ten tortures were used, he would have a way to endure it, even committing suicide.
Now Chu Wujiang used the demon's thoughts to release the emotion of fear, but he couldn't make him surrender. He quickly said:
"My Lord, I really don't know."
"what!!!"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
The inhuman screams echoed in the secret room, but could not penetrate into the outside world at all. It was truly horrific.
Chu Wujiang had already put up a mute note at the beginning.
The invention of this talisman is simply good news for conspirators.
No matter how cruelly Chu Wujiang tortured, no one would hear it.
Chu Wujiang used the devil's thoughts to invade, and when the opponent had no vitality to protect his body, he directly used the true meaning of hell and made Baili Hao perform the hell meal.
The pain at that moment was beyond the limit of human endurance.
"I really don't know, ah! ah!!"
Chu Wujiang didn't like physical torture, so he made his enemies suffer great mental pain.
The fear in Baili Hao's heart quickly grew.
There was not a single wound on his body, but the pain was unstoppable.
If I were to make a similar analogy, an extreme toothache would be one in which the pain comes directly from the nerves.
It can hurt as much as it wants.
Chu Wujiang was also very considerate and used his demonic thoughts to protect Baili Hao's soul and prevent him from fainting.
But Baili Hao is indeed one of the most trusted people of Earl Zhongyong, an absolute die-hard fan. His eyes were filled with fear, and he even pretended to be collapsed, shouting:
"That's what the Lord says."
"It is indeed the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery who murdered your father and mother. Kill me, please kill me quickly."
"The villain is a rabbit, the villain is a rabbit, stop hitting him."
Chu Wujiang did not continue to use painful torture.
The other party is an expert, an elite who has been strictly trained by a noble family. Even if extreme pain can destroy his will, he can at least hold on for three days and three nights.
Chu Wujiang doesn't have so much time to waste, not to mention that he is not a pervert and has no interest in torturing his own kind.
He stopped the painful dose and instead let the demon release a breath that soothed the soul to help Baili Hao heal the mental trauma he had just suffered.
When Baili Hao saw this, the fear in his heart was magnified.
What does he want to do?
Chu Wujiang helped Baili Hao up, asked him to sit on the chair, and said slowly:
"I also respect loyal people. Seeing Mr. Baili being so loyal and unyielding, I feel sorry for him."
Baili Hao kept his mouth shut tightly, fearing that he would leak out even a single word, but Chu Wujiang said very easily:
"Mr. Baili, your original surname is Ren, and your name is Ren Hao. You are the descendant of three generations of retainers of the Baili family. You have been strong and tough since childhood, and it is difficult to be injured by swords and knives."
"This physique is very compatible with the "Blood Battle Method" of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion, so you are highly valued and cultivated by the mansion. The Loyal and Brave Marquis even betrothed a girl from a branch family to you and let you change your surname to Baili."
The world is very unfair, but there is a very absolute standard of measurement, and that is martial arts.
The difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, or the son of a lowly slave, is not important.
As long as you have enough talent in martial arts, there will be plenty of people willing to invest in you.
Ren Hao is obviously a very successful case. Relying on his talent of [Iron Bones], he was valued by the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery. With a bunch of additional resources, he cultivated to the eighth level of Yuan Dan and became the steward of the Earl's Mansion.
The steward trembled more and more as he listened, but Chu Wujiang continued:
"You also have a son, two daughters, three grandsons, and four granddaughters, right?"
"Now there is a grandson studying in Yuzhou, enrolled in Zhengxin Academy, which is very good."
"Unfortunately, the law has long nets and nothing can escape them. He has now fallen into the law and has been arrested on the spot by the Yuzhou government and the academy."
"How pitiful."
Along with this sigh, the demon completely devoured Baili Hao's heart, causing him to completely collapse. "My Lord, please, don't say any more, don't say any more."
Chu Wujiang's tone became more gentle:
"I can let your granddaughter survive. At least she won't be completely extinct."
"Don't think that I don't know that you are studying the art of witchcraft."
"Once this matter is leaked, no one of the descendants of the Baili family will survive."
After hearing these two sentences, Baili Hao's pupils dilated infinitely and he was completely defeated by Chu Wujiang.
There are generally two types of genocide: one in which some people slip through the net, and one in which no one slips through the net.
Anyone who has anything to do with the witchcraft case will be killed, even if they are women.
Baili Hao shouted in despair:
"I am willing to confess, I am willing to confess!"
Chu Wujiang looked at him without saying anything. Baili Hao seemed to be in a trance and spoke slowly:
"My Lord, this is what happened."
"I thought I would take these secrets to my grave."
"The master didn't intend to target the Chu family at the beginning."
"It's just a collaboration with the Wan Gui Sect. The master sent his eldest son to excavate an ancient tomb together."
"The person buried in that ancient tomb is none other than the son of Emperor Wu, and the last crown prince of the Dragon Vein Dynasty."
"Emperor Wu seemed to be angry that the prince cursed him, so he placed many confiscated magic tools among the burial objects, so that the prince could repent after his death."
[It turns out that the source of everything is the tomb of the prince of the Dragon Vein Dynasty. ]
[I said that the art of witchcraft had long been extinct after being attacked by successive generations, but Earl Zhongyong was able to bring it back to light.]
Chu Wujiang suddenly understood.
Originally, Lord Zhongyong just wanted to cooperate to make money, but he ended up digging up an incredible treasure.
"and after?"
Baili Hao took a deep breath:
"Later, the eldest son wanted to test the power of witchcraft, so he took..."
Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:
"Keep talking."
"The things we dug out from the tomb have been tested and proven to be effective."
"The eldest son believes that this method of killing people is invisible, and no one can find out whether it is true or not."
"Plus, if the Chu family kicks it now, the house will collapse directly..."
Baili Hao's voice became lower and lower.
[No wonder the loyal and brave uncle sacrificed his son directly. It turns out that Baili Feng played a decisive role here. ]
Chu Wujiang thought to himself, and then said:
"Keep talking."
Some things can be deceived but not concealed from subordinates.
Earl Zhongyong was not too worried about the butler leaking the secret, because once the secret was leaked, unless Baili Hao took the initiative to turn himself in, the whole clan would still be wiped out.
Baili Hao said with some sorrow:
"By the time the master knew, it was too late."
"Especially since the eldest son was not careful in his conduct and was tracked down to his mansion."
Chu Wujiang was shocked when he heard this, and asked quickly:
"who is it?"
Baili Hao shook his head and said:
"I don't know. I only know that someone bought those magic tools and secret techniques."
"The master is very worried about this and said that only by reestablishing a relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo can the family be protected."
【This is how it is strung together. 】
[Loyal and Brave would rather cut off his tail to survive. In addition to the madness of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, he was also worried about the disclosure of the witchcraft technique, and wanted to seek refuge with the Xuanqiong Star Official to regain his protection.]
【Who would have thought that man's plans are not as good as God's plans. 】
[Wait, if this happens, the Zhongyong Marquis's family will be sentenced to extermination, and there are people in the court who don't want the Baili family to survive! ]
[Could it be that the person who purchased the magic weapon was the Duke of Zhenguo? Not likely. ]
Chu Wujiang seemed to understand a little bit of the truth and continued to ask:
"What else do you know?"
"Did Lord Zhongyong say who he would sell it to?"
Baili Hao shook his head repeatedly, and finally said with a hesitant look:
"The master didn't say who it was, but he has always been concerned about the movements of His Royal Highness Prince Qin."
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, the current prince ranked first, is the most likely threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the competitor for the throne.
Because he is a powerful Yuanshen master, and ranks in the top 20 on the Yuanshen list.
