Pei Guangbin looked at Li Haibo and smiled coldly, "You want to die? How could it be so easy? As a member of the Hundred Herb Hall, you actually colluded with outsiders to attack the Young Miss. It would not be too much even if you died ten thousand times. Hurry up and tell me the truth. Who sent you here? "
Li Haibo raised his eyebrows slightly, looking as if he did not care about life and death, "So what if you know? Everything is already set in stone. Coming here to capture the Young Miss is just a part of our plan. It is just to make things a little smoother. Even if we fail, it will not affect the overall situation. "
At this moment, Su Ye also walked in front of Li Haibo and said in a low voice, "Tell me everything about your plan and I can spare your life."
"I don't believe you." Li Haibo snorted coldly. It was common for cultivators to go back on their words. Once he lost his value, Pei Guangbin might just turn around and kill him.
Then, he looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Don't you want to know who the traitor is? Heh heh, then I'll tell you the truth. Don't be fooled by Pei Guangbin's loyal and devoted appearance. He's actually one of us. Otherwise, how could we easily find out Young Lady's whereabouts and chase after you so easily? "
"Li Haibo, don't slander me!" Pei Guangbin shouted angrily. He did not expect this fellow to be so sinister. Even at death's door, he still wanted to bite back at him.
Li Haibo laughed out loud, "What? You dare to betray your master but don't dare to admit it? Are you angry from embarrassment? That's true. Then kill me to silence me. That way, no one will know that you are the real traitor. "
The more Li Haibo said this, the more Pei Guangbin did not dare to kill him. If he really killed Li Haibo now, it would undoubtedly prove that he was guilty. Li Haibo's move could not be said to be bad.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan shook his head lightly, "Who said there is a traitor? What you say doesn't count. I only count when I see it."
After saying this, Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed it on Li Haibo's head. Li Haibo could not help but be shocked and angry, "What are you trying to do?"
Previously, when Lu Xuan mentioned the Soul-Searching Technique, Li Haibo thought that it was just a bluff. Now, looking at Lu Xuan's actions, could there really be such a strange secret technique like the Soul-Searching Technique?
Lu Xuan didn't care about what Li Haibo was thinking. Under the envelopment of his Yuan Qi, Li Haibo couldn't move at all. He was firmly suppressed, and Lu Xuan's soul force had already started to use the soul searching technique to investigate everything that Li Haibo knew. This kind of interrogation method was much better than Pei Guangbin's coercion and bribery.
"Ahhhhh!" A blood-curdling scream came from Li Haibo's mouth. His eyes were tightly closed, and his face was hideous. Obviously, he was in extreme pain, and everyone who heard him couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Su Ye couldn't bear to look at Li Haibo and turned her head away. However, Pei Guangbin's face didn't change in the slightest. Since it was an interrogation, this kind of method was nothing. If he was the one doing the interrogation, there were even crueler methods than this.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's eyes were also tightly closed. Intermittent information and images were transmitted from Pei Guangbin's memories. Some irrelevant information was discarded by Lu Xuan, but everything related to their current mission was recorded in his mind.
After approximately ten breaths of time, Lu Xuan finally released Li Haibo's hand. Both his eyes opened at the same time, and Li Haibo's screams came to an abrupt end. His entire body powerlessly lay on the ground, unconscious.
Hearing the sound stop, Su Ye couldn't help but turn around. Seeing Li Haibo lying on the ground, she asked in shock, "He's dead?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "He's not dead. However, whether or not he will become an idiot after he wakes up will depend on his luck."
Lu Xuan's casual words caused the group of cultivators who were also captured to tremble in fear. If this ridiculously strong youth did the same to them, would they also become an idiot?
Pei Guangbin asked with some apprehension, "Young Hero Lu, do you know who the real traitor is?"
Li Haibo and the others were able to find them so easily, so they definitely had a spy. Lu Xuan was definitely not the traitor, and neither was Su Ye. Thus, the only suspects were himself and his fellow guards.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything and turned to look at Pei Guangbin. Pei Guangbin was startled. Could Lu Xuan be taking advantage of this opportunity to take revenge and frame him as the traitor? Su Ye also looked at Pei Guangbin in disbelief. She asked softly, "Big Brother Pei is loyal to me. He is definitely not the traitor."
Seeing Pei Guangbin frightened, Lu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and say, "There is no traitor. Captain Pei, there is no need to be nervous."
Hearing this, Pei Guangbin couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was nervous for a long time, but his heart relaxed slightly. However, he asked curiously, "That's not right. If there is no traitor, then how could Li Haibo and the others accurately find our location? This Qilin Forest is quite big. Even if they knew we were here, they might not be able to find us."
"Captain Pei, think carefully. A few months ago, did Li Haibo sell you a few medicinal pills at a low price?" Lu Xuan reminded him.
Pei Guangbin carefully recalled. Sure enough, he said, "That's right. About two and a half months ago, Li Haibo said he was short of money and sold a few Human Tier Eight medicinal pills at a low price. When I saw that the price was low and the medicinal pills were real, I immediately bought them. I have already consumed all of them. Could it be that there is a problem with the medicinal pills?"
Lu Xuan nodded, "The medicinal pills have been tampered with. They added a few colorless, odorless, and harmless ingredients. The only effect is that they can accurately sense the location of the person who consumed the medicinal pills. Li Haibo and the others relied on this method to track us all the way here."
Su Ye was a little shocked, "Two and a half months ago? Doesn't that mean they have been planning for this for a long time? "
"Seizing power is not a small matter. Of course, they have to plan for a long time." Lu Xuan said.
At this moment, Pei Guangbin was feeling extremely guilty. He did not expect that because of his greed, both he and the Young Mistress would be killed today. He immediately said to Su Ye guiltily, "Young Mistress, I did not expect that this matter was really caused by me. This subordinate cannot atone for his sins even if I die ten thousand times. Please punish me, Young Mistress. This subordinate will not complain."
How could Su Ye punish him? She shook her head and said, "Big Brother Pei, there is no need to blame yourself. That Li Haibo also calculated that I would bring you along every time I went out. That was why he tried to harm you. It is not your fault."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Mistress. This subordinate will temporarily keep this life to atone for his crimes!" Pei Guangbin said gratefully. He then looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Young Hero Lu, I have offended you a few days ago. I am really worried about Young Mistress's safety. I hope Young Hero Lu does not mind."
Lu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "Of course, as a bodyguard, you are very responsible. If it was me, I would also be extremely vigilant if an unknown person suddenly appeared. However, the most important thing now is to think of a way to resolve this crisis of the Hundred Herb Hall."
Su Ye was pleasantly surprised as she said, "Young Master Lu knows of their plan?"
"En. This time, it is indeed an internal problem of the Hundred Herb Hall. However, there is also external help." Lu Xuan nodded and said.
Pei Guangbin was slightly puzzled and said, "Although the Hall Master is old, he has always firmly controlled the martial strength of the Hundred Herb Hall. I really can't think of any branch hall that has the strength to go against the Main Hall."
"It is Bo Ruo Monastery." Lu Xuan said. He paused and added, "North Bo Ruo Monastery."
After finishing his sentence, Lu Xuan walked straight to the two dead Origin Realm martial artists. With a swing of his sword, their cloaks flew away. The two's faces were clearly seen by everyone. Everyone took a deep breath at the same time. Sure enough, two big bald heads. They were obviously monks. No wonder they covered their faces with cloaks.
"North Bo Ruo? Why would North Bo Ruo make a move on our Hundred Herb Hall? " Su Ye was filled with righteous indignation for a moment. "In order to prevent the business of the Hundred Herb Hall from being obstructed, we will present a portion of expensive elixirs to North Bo Ruo every year. But they are still so unsatisfied?"
"Bei Bo Ruo is more ambitious than Nan Bo Ruo. Nan Bo Ruo might be willing to accept the current situation, but Bei Bo Ruo isn't satisfied. They want to bring Nan Bo Ruo back under Bei Bo Ruo's tutelage, and even more so, they want to become the largest force in the entire Central Prefecture. Although the medicinal pellets that you offer aren't much, they aren't satisfied. Not to mention, your relationship with the Nine Dragons Empire is closer, and your transactions with the Nine Dragons Empire far exceed Bei Bo Ruo's. Thus, they contacted some ambitious hall masters in the Hundred Herb Hall, attempting to take over the largest logistics base in the Central Prefecture." Lu Xuan spoke frankly with assurance. He had obtained a lot of information from Li Haibo's memory, which allowed him to understand more about the Central State.
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, it makes sense." Pei Guangbin nodded, then said with some resentment: "The Hall Master has always been generous to the people of Hundred Herb Hall, especially the Hall Masters of the various Halls. The annual profits are even greater. I didn't think that they would be so greedy and ungrateful. They deserve to die! Young Hero Lu, may I ask what we should do now? "
Pei Guangbin asked for Lu Xuan's opinion. Although Lu Xuan was an outsider, he was the strongest at the moment. Moreover, he was also the one who understood Beibo Ruo's plan the best. Pei Guangbin hoped that Lu Xuan could stand up and preside over the overall situation for them. After all, his strength was still slightly low. What they needed to face was not a third-grade force, but a true fourth-grade force — Beibo Ruo Temple.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Xuan definitely wouldn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter, especially when the enemy was a fourth grade sect. A fourth grade sect that was stronger than the one in his memory. However, Su Ye had saved his life. Moreover, he had lost all his memories and didn't have any good places to go. Instead, he hoped that someone would recognize him in this big event.
Immediately, Lu Xuan said, "They set the time to take action on the day of Old Hall Master Su's birthday banquet. At that time, crooks and honest people will mix together and it will be very easy to cause chaos. Moreover, many important people in the Hundred Herb Hall will come to celebrate the birthday, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop. We have to quickly make preparations."
"There are still seven days until Grandfather's birthday banquet. If we rush back from here, it will probably take five days. However, since someone has already targeted me, we definitely can't take the main path. If we do this, I'm afraid we won't make it in time …" Su Ye said with some worry.
