Unknowingly, two days had passed.
In these two days, Ji Tianxing, Long Yunxiao, and Yun Yao had tried several methods, but they still couldn't get Lan Huixin to confess.
Lan Huixin had endured several kinds of torture. She was tortured until she was covered in bruises and dirty blood. She looked extremely miserable.
However, her will was firm. She wouldn't say anything even if she died.
In the end, Ji Tianxing and the other two were at their wit's end. Long Yunxiao then thought of a way.
He decided to ask Divine Master Qian Ye to perform the soul-searching secret technique to search Lan Huixin's soul and memory to find evidence.
However, this method was cruel and vicious. It wasn't an ordinary method. Ordinary people wouldn't use it easily.
The soul-searching secret technique also had a high failure rate. Once it failed, not only would they not get any clues, but Lan Huixin would also die.
Late at night, Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and Long Yunxiao finally made a decision after weighing the pros and cons in the study room.
Early the next morning, Long Yunxiao would look for Divine Master Qian Ye and ask him to perform the soul-searching secret technique!
After the meeting, Ji Tianxing and Long Yunxiao got up and left Yun Yao Palace to return to their respective cave residences.
Yun Yao had been too busy these days. She hadn't rested at all. Finally, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
After Ji Tianxing and Long Yunxiao left, she also went back to her room to rest.
Of course, she had already instructed the palace guards to guard the secret room where Lan Huixin was locked up.
Although Lan Huixin's cultivation had been destroyed, Yun Yao was still very careful.
She arranged for four bodyguard commanders to guard outside the secret room at all times to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
…
Yun Yao Palace stood quietly on the mountain peak in the middle of the night. It was sleeping in the darkness.
The palace was lit up with scattered lights. Not only were there guards guarding the roads and doors, but there were also a few groups of guards patrolling.
Suddenly, in the dark night sky outside the palace, a black shadow silently flew over.
Swoosh!
This figure was as agile as a fallen leaf, as if it had merged with the darkness. It landed lightly in the woods east of Yun Yao Palace without alerting anyone.
This person was dressed in black and had a veil covering her face. She looked tall and slim, like a young woman.
However, his exposed eyes were as deep as the night sky. They were not as gentle and beautiful as a woman's, but contained a cold killing intent.
He hid in the forest filled with towering trees and observed quietly for a while before taking out a pair of dark gold scissors that were more than half a meter long.
The simple golden scissors exuded a mysterious and powerful aura. Clearly, it was a Soul-class magic treasure that surpassed the Heavenly Yuan level.
This item was called the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors. According to legend, it was refined from the bones of a Golden Flood Dragon. It possessed an incomparably powerful ability to break spells, as well as a terrifying destructive power.
The man in black stared at the walls of Yun Yao Palace with burning eyes. After observing for a while, he saw the lines and key points of the defensive formation.
He held the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors with both hands, silently urging his majestic True Essence, causing the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors to shine with a dazzling golden light.
"Swish!"
He held the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and fiercely cut at the defensive formation. Instantly, the defensive formation was broken, and a huge gap was cut out.
After that, he put away the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and his figure flashed through the gap and entered the defensive formation.
His body merged with the darkness as he silently flipped over the walls, passed through the courtyards and palaces, and crept towards the center of Yun Yao Palace.
The man in black moved stealthily in Yun Yao Palace. Obviously, he was familiar with the layout of Yun Yao Palace.
Moreover, his strength was extremely powerful. He was at least at the seventh level of the Heavenly Yuan Stage, so he could easily avoid the detection of all the guards.
After about an hour, the man in black entered the depths of the palace and crept into a dark tunnel underground.
The tunnel was 100 meters long, and at the end of it was the secret room where Lan Huixin was locked up.
The stone door of the secret room was tightly shut, and there were four guard commanders guarding outside the door. They were as motionless as stone statues.
These four guard commanders were all elites with strength at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage. They were the strongest powerhouses below the Heavenly Yuan Stage.
In the entire Yun Yao Palace, other than Yun Yao, they were the strongest powerhouses.
However, the man in black did not take these four guard commanders seriously at all.
He concealed his aura and crept through the tunnel silently, approaching the four guard commanders quietly.
When the guard commanders sensed that something was wrong, they turned their heads to look at the man in black. The man in black was less than ten meters away from them.
"Who's that?"
"How dare you trespass into Yun Yao Palace? You're seeking death! "
The four guard commanders were instantly awakened. They drew their swords and sabers and were about to attack immediately.
However, the man in black waved his hand and shot out a five-colored spirit light that enveloped half of the tunnel.
The five-colored spirit light immediately formed a formation, blocking the sound and True Origin waves in the formation.
No matter how the man in black and the guard commanders fought, no matter how loud the noise was, it would not alert the people outside.
"Swoosh!"
When the guard commanders brandished their swords and sabers to attack, the man in black hurriedly took out the Golden Wyrm Scissors and urged his vast True Origin to fiercely scissor the two guards that charged at him.
Along with the sound of "kacha kacha", the two guards' swords and bodies were cut into two by the Golden Serpent Scissors on the spot.
The two guards were cut in half at the waist. Their corpses fell to the ground and sprayed out a large amount of blood. Colorful internal organs and intestines flowed out as well.
Such a bloody and cruel scene instantly caused the other two guard commanders to be stunned, and they were terrified to the point their faces went pale.
The two of them hadn't recovered from their shock when they saw a golden light flash before their eyes, and then their necks were cut off on the spot by the Golden Wyrm Scissors.
The man in black killed the four guard commanders swiftly like a bolt of lightning, then hurriedly rushed to the door of the secret room.
He didn't waste any time. He held the Golden Wyrm Scissors in his hand and slashed at the secret room's stone door.
The secret room's defensive formation and thick and solid stone door were unable to withstand the might of the Golden Wyrm Scissors, and an enormous hole was instantly cut open.
The formation collapsed and the stone door shattered. The man in black stepped into the secret room.
In the gloomy and cold secret room, Lan Huixin was tied to the wall by a few iron chains. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in blood.
She lowered her head dispiritedly and silently gasped for breath.
Hearing the sound of the stone door shattering, she was instantly jolted awake. She opened her eyes and looked at the man in black.
When she saw the man in black's appearance, her dim and despairing eyes immediately surged with a trace of pleasant surprise and anticipation.
"Young Master Murong, you've really come to save me!"
Lan Huixin's emotions were extremely excited, as if she had seen the hope of escaping with her life.
The man in black reached out and took off his mask, revealing a face as beautiful as a beauty's. It was indeed Murong Lingfeng.
He held the Golden Wyrm Scissors and cut the iron chains that bound Lan Huixin in a few moves. He asked expressionlessly, "Have you obtained the evidence?"
Lan Huixin regained her freedom. She couldn't be bothered to treat her wounds as she hurriedly took out a fine iron box from her space ring.
"I've obtained the item, but they still don't seem to be certain that it's you …"
Before she could finish speaking, the fine iron box in her hand was snatched away by Murong Lingfeng.
