In an underground hall, there is a long table in the middle, which is five feet long and one foot wide. Except for one person sitting at the head in the middle, the others are sitting on both sides, a total of fifteen people.
The fifteen people here are both men and women, with different appearances and different clothes, but one thing is the same, that is, the faces of these fifteen people are extremely pale, that kind of sickly white. And if you observe carefully, you can find that there is an imperceptible scarlet color in the eyes of these people.
The atmosphere in the hall was very dull, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard, only the sound of rustling paper shaking.
The man sitting alone at the moment was holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, word for word, and it took a long time to finish reading it. When you close the book, you can see on the cover that it reads: "The First Report of the Chief Yamen of the Black Flag Camp of Fengri City".
The age of this man was unclear, it seemed correct to say he was in his seventies or eighties, because he had silver hair, a face as pale as paper, and a sluggish aura about him, giving him the feeling that he was about to die.
But this man is very strange, his skin is very shiny, and his facial features are even full. He doesn't look like the saggy skin of the elderly at all, but he looks like a young man. There is a thin red line standing up one inch between the eyebrows that is very eye-catching.
But those hands were like dead branches, slender and covered with wrinkled skin like horny skin, which made people feel sick just looking at them.
"How is the situation over at Shukiri Mountain? Where are the manpower? Are they back?"
The man sitting at the top put down the book in his hand, frowned slightly, glanced at the people on the long table, and finally his eyes rested on the fourth person on his right.
"Replying to the Great Master, the side of Shuiqie Mountain has been surrounded by people from the Jingxi Black Flag Battalion. They are currently digging the mountain, probably to find traces of the "nest". The personnel who evacuated in advance are currently in the backup station. Hiding from the limelight. Currently, there is no contact with anyone from Xuanqing Guard. The relevant warnings and situation descriptions have been sent back and are in your hands..."
Before he finished speaking, the man with the withered vine hand called "The Great Venerable" shook his head and interrupted: "You don't need to repeat what I have mentioned above." As he spoke, he patted the book at his hand. Then he said: "So they won't be able to come back for the time being?"
"Yes, Great Reverend. Currently, not only Shuiqie Mountain is under martial law, but all transportation hubs in Jingxi are also under martial law. Every day, there are soldiers from the Black Flag Battalion or Xuanqing Guards and garrison soldiers holding induction disks. They checked at the entrance and couldn't even fly through the teleportation circle. So after they evacuated from the "nest" in Shuiqie Mountain, they hid in the backup station and waited for the storm to pass before they found a way to return to the Holy Gate."
"I remember that the first messenger in the "nest" in Shuqie Mountain is someone under your sect, right? Lord Nine?" After the Great Lord asked, he looked at another person. His tone remained unchanged, but everyone present could feel it. It seemed a little cooler when we arrived in the main hall.
"Yes, great lord, Xiao Peng, the first envoy in the "nest" of Shuqie Mountain, is a member of the official subordinate sect. He is usually very strategic and knows how to be measured. He has good potential and understanding, so he is recommended by his subordinates. The first envoy of the "nest" of Shuiqie Mountain. But his subordinates never expected that he would make such a big mistake this time. He is really to blame for his death! Please also ask the great venerable to punish him severely according to the rules of the holy sect. And his subordinates also asked for it themselves. Punish the subordinates for their incompetent teaching!"
As he said this, the Nine Masters stood up from his seat, knelt on the ground and apologized loudly. He looked like he accepted the punishment.
This person admitted his mistake and accepted his punishment, but the Great Reverend did not continue this topic. What he wants is the attitude of the people below. The specific results cannot be obtained yet, and there is no need to be in such a hurry. Everything will be settled after the matter is settled.
He waved his withered vine-like hand and started another conversation: "People must be brought back first. At least that Xiao Peng must come back as soon as possible. The rest can hide in the backup station and wait for the news to pass." After a pause, the great sage pointed to the nine sages who were still kneeling on the ground and the eight sages before him and continued: "Your people, go and bring them back in person. I want to live."
The two of them responded in unison.
"There is another thing. The Black Flag Battalion went straight to the position of the "nest" of Shuiqie Mountain. This shows that in that ridiculous siege, they finally captured the victims alive and pried their mouths open. Even the "nest" Now that all the positions have been recruited, other matters will no longer be kept secret. In Xuan Qingwei's words, it was "leaked out" by the trial.
To be honest, this is the first time this has happened in the Holy Sect. "
After stopping the Eight Lords in charge of Shuqie Mountain from speaking, the Great Lord continued: "I know you want to explain, and I also believe in the words of the people in the Holy Sect and their ability to face torture. But what if this time the other party's methods win? What’s up?”
The words of the great venerable were like pouring down a glass of ice water, and everyone present trembled in their hearts. It's not that they haven't thought about this possibility, but they just don't want to bring it up first. After all, this is definitely extremely bad news for the Holy Sect.
Is the Holy Sect, which is not afraid of torture and whose core secrets have not been mastered by Xuan Qingwei for a long time, really relying on its "hardness"? We are all members of the Holy Sect, who is more "tough" than the other?
Rather than saying it is "hard spirit", it is better to use the words of the great venerable just now: means.
The Holy Sect monks use secret techniques to turn their bodies into real stinkers. The torture of the physical body will not only bring no pain to the Holy Sect monks, but will also bring some spiritual "pleasure". If you can't feel the pain, you will naturally appear "tough".
Apart from the physical body, the only thing left is the soul. But what the Holy Sect monks play with is the use of souls. It will undoubtedly become a joke to rely on the soul to torture the Holy Sect monks. Even if soul-locking methods such as board locks and talismans are used, the soul itself will not be stripped away. As long as it is not stripped away, the Holy Sect monks have their own way to separate the soul from the pain reaction and continue to make themselves look "tough".
When they thought that Xuan Qingwei now had a way to bypass or unlock the "hard energy" that the Holy Sect monks were proud of, everyone felt calm in their hearts, but their hearts twitched. Soul torture! That is a punishment dozens of times more painful than physical torture. Who can bear it? Is it normal to be unable to bear it?
"These require further investigation to know. We can let it go for now, and ask the Holy Sect monks in other places to avoid it as soon as possible. We must not give Xuanqing Guard a chance to survive, otherwise it will be too late to regret it if it is worse than death. .
The most urgent task now is to discuss a countermeasure. In response to the so-called "evil-killing plan" currently implemented by the Black Flag Camp. You should have seen how vicious this plan is, right? Are there any countermeasures? "
"Kill the person named Shen?" Someone immediately expressed their opinion. If you can't think of a way to solve the problem, then just get rid of the person who caused the problem. Simple and direct.
"It's useless. After Xiao Peng did this, everyone in the Xuanqing Guards has understood that their plan threatens our life, and they must have decided to vigorously promote it. At this time, the person named Shen is insignificant. You kill him, and change It’s the same thing if you personally push it.”
