Xiao Yang nodded and turned his gaze to the assassin. He asked coldly, "Speak, who are you? Who sent you? What grudge do you have with my mother?"
Even though the assassin was very weak and his cultivation had been destroyed, he didn't make a sound. He only looked at Xiao Yang mockingly.
To them, an assassin's life was to kill and be killed. At most, they would die. They definitely wouldn't spit out their employer's information.
"Very good, I admire your stubbornness. I hope you can be even more stubborn. That way, I can play with you for longer."
Xiao Yang smiled coldly and ordered Fiery Bird, "Go, give him some Nihility Flames. Don't kill him. Play slowly."
At the same time, he took out the Bloodthirsty Ice Silkworm and let it enter the assassin's body. He started to torture the assassin.
In order to prevent Lan Xingmeng and Xiao Man from seeing anything too gory, he cast an isolation array to prevent them from seeing anything too gory.
Within the array, the assassin started to howl in pain. He was in so much pain that he curled up.
"Are you going to speak or not?"
After torturing him for a while, Xiao Yang finally slowed down the intensity of his torture.
The assassin glared at Xiao Yang fiercely. His eyes were filled with mockery. Finally, he moved his tongue and wanted to do something.
Hmm?
This small movement was still noticed by Xiao Yang.
He immediately made his move and slapped the assassin's mouth, knocking out a mouthful of the assassin's teeth. At the same time, a poison pill flew out of the assassin's mouth.
Xiao Yang picked up the poison pill and looked at it. His eyes narrowed and he muttered, "Poison of the Nine Underworlds."
He was even more certain that the assassin was here to kill Lan Xingmeng.
"You want to kill yourself? None of us have. You can only confess now. Don't worry, as long as you confess, I won't kill you. I can swear it." Xiao Yang stared at the assassin and spoke slowly.
He really wasn't interested in killing people. He just wanted to get the information he needed.
The assassin was a little tempted. After all, if he could live, who would want to die?
Can't you see that he hasn't taken any poison to commit suicide after so long? That was because there was still hope in his heart. He wouldn't be willing to commit suicide until the very last moment.
Unfortunately, he was still discovered by Xiao Yang. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"I, Xiao Yang, am a man of my word. As long as you tell me what you know and swear that what you say is true, you can leave this place. Otherwise, you will have to endure seven days and seven nights of torture before I will let you go. Think about it yourself."
Xiao Yang used both kindness and authority.
"I'll tell you, but you have to swear to let me go." The Assassin's will to live was shaken, and he hurriedly spoke.
Only after the two of them swore their oaths did the assassin say, "I am a member of the Zhang family of Qingyang city. I've received the young master's orders to assassinate Lan Xingmeng. I don't know the exact reason."
Xiao Yang nodded slightly and asked, "What is your son's name? Where is he now? What is his father's name? Does he have any grudges with my mother?"
The Assassin was relieved when he heard that. No wonder the young master had sent him to assassinate Lan Xingmeng. As it turned out, it was because of the grudges between his parents.
He explained in a hurry, "My young master is called Zhang Zihe. His father is Zhang Dalong. Zhang Dalong had once pursued Lan Xingmeng, but he became depressed in the end. Now, he drowns his sorrows in alcohol every day. I think the young master is trying to avenge his father."
So that's how it is. Xiao Yang immediately understood.
He removed the isolation formation and the seal on the Assassin. He said indifferently, "You can leave now."
After the Assassin recovered some of his strength, he immediately turned around and left without any hesitation.
Li Qinghe and chief instructor Wang watched him leave. They thought the Assassin wanted to escape, so they wanted to chase after him. However, Xiao Yang stopped them. He said, "Don't chase after him. I'll let him go."
Afterwards, he explained, "I've already gathered all the information I need, so there's no point in keeping him. Killing him is even more pointless, so I let him go."
"Brother Xiao really is benevolent," Li Qinghe said with a smile.
Chief instructor Wang asked, "Young master, what do you plan to do next?"
He changed the way he addressed Xiao Yang. Before, he called him master because Xiao Yang controlled his Soul Blood. Now that he was completely free, he didn't leave. He only wanted to be Xiao Yang's guard, so he called Xiao Yang "young master".
As for loyalty, there was no doubt.
Xiao Yang pondered for a while and said, "This isn't a suitable place to stay. How about this, mother, follow me back to the Yuelai Inn first. Then I'll take you back to the Xiao family in Donglin Town. We can reunite."
"No one can stop me, Xiao Yang. Anyone who dares to stop me will die."
Xiao Yang said the last sentence very loudly. He deliberately said it for the three masters of the Lan family to hear.
Lan Xinghe, Lan Jiaoye, and the others' expressions changed.
They had all heard Xiao Yang's conversation. When they heard that he was going to take Lan Xingmeng back to the Xiao family in Donglin Town, they immediately became anxious.
"Xiao Yang, you can't," the First Master hurriedly shouted.
They came this time to ask for Xiao Yang and Lan Xingmeng's forgiveness. How could they let them go so easily?
"Did you take my words for granted? Don't you want to die? "Xiao Yang coldly glanced at them with disdain.
He didn't have a good impression of the Lan family.
The way the Lan family treated his mother made him unhappy. If he hadn't come early, Lan Xingmeng would have died. Was the Lan family not at fault? How could they look down on people's lives? Lan Xingmeng was their sister and the daughter of the Lan family's ancestor.
The three masters of the Lan family were embarrassed.
Helpless, Lan Xinghe could only say to Lan Xingmeng, "Sister, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us. Can you stay in the Lan family?"
The First and Second Masters knew that Xiao Yang was difficult to deal with, so they simply targeted Lan Xingmeng. They hurriedly pretended to blame themselves and said pitifully, "Sister, we really know we were wrong. We're sorry for making you suffer all these years. Please come back and live with us."
Lan Xingmeng sighed but didn't relent.
This time, she had almost died. Moreover, she had died unaccompanied. It was clear that the Lan family was heartless and cold-blooded. What was there to return to such a family?
"The three of you, shut up. If you're not satisfied, then bring it on. Let's see if I, Xiao Yang, am afraid of you." Xiao Yang angrily scolded them. He knew that Lan Xingmeng was soft-hearted. If they kept begging, Lan Xingmeng would probably agree.
"You heartless things. My mother was poisoned by the Nine Underworlds Poison and almost died here. No one came to visit her. She was hungry and cold. You have the nerve to show your faces here. Do you have any shame? Are you embarrassed? Does your conscience hurt? "
Xiao Yang really couldn't take it anymore. He lost his temper at them.
