Shi Qiang and the other two were on imperial-level white gold-rank. Their combat strength had surpassed the range that Bloody could parasitize.
However, it did not cause any trouble to Lin Huang.
His God Figurine's Combat Soul, Nightmare Tapir, had hypnotic abilities. Although Nightmare Tapir's combat strength was only on imperial-level white gold-rank, its ability could control imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses.
Just when Bloody was busy parasitizing the imperial-level powerhouses on the ground and reading their memories, Lin Huang began his hypnotic interrogation on Shi Qiang and the other two.
"What's your name?"
"Shi Qiang."
"Why did you come to the Shadow Valley?"
"To kill the participants."
"Who's the source of the information about the participants?"
"It's Ge Nan."
"Who's Ge Nan? Why do you trust him? "
"He and I were locked up in the Royal Prison on the same day. Perhaps because we were in the same situation, we got along very well and became brothers later on. He's one of the few people in this prison that I can trust. He's also one of the few people that I don't have to guard against. "
Lin Huang only got to the point after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the hypnosis after getting all the known information.
"I heard that you're very close to the regional chief, Pang Bing?"
"Not really. I've only met him thrice."
"Does Pang Bing think highly of you?"
"Yes. He thinks that I have the potential to break through further and hopes to train me as his confidant. I'll be the deputy regional chief after elevating to imperial-level purple gold-rank and work for him. "
"Then, you should know where Pang Bing lives, don't you?"
"Yes, I've been there once."
Lin Huang was elated to hear that answer.
"Where exactly does Pang Bing live?"
"At the peak of Hat Mountain." Shi Qiang proceeded to speak, "He doesn't live alone. He has six wives. Two of them are on imperial-level white gold-rank while the other four are on imperial-level yellow gold-rank."
"He's living such a good life in prison?! Six wives?! "Lin Huang's eyes were wide open when he heard that.
"The regional chief's position is second only to the chief. The resources that he gets are far from what ordinary imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses can compare to. These women must have attached themselves to him for resources. After all, the resources in the Royal Prison are extremely scarce. If you don't rely on the powerhouses, you might not even have enough to eat, "Bloody explained while listening. "In this prison, the number of women who want to climb into his bed is probably far more than the six in his harem."
"What else do you know about Pang Bing?" After a moment of surprise, Lin Huang returned to the main topic and continued the interrogation.
"Pang Bing's ability is considered ordinary among imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses. However, he has two demigod relics with him. One of them is a defensive armor while the other is a battle sword. The reason why he was able to secure his position as the regional chief was mainly because of those two things. Other than that, it was said that he was related to Chief Liang and had been imprisoned together. But no one knows the truth of this matter … "
After a round of interrogation, Lin Huang and Bloody had a rough understanding of the regional chief, Pang Bing. Lin Huang then proceeded to interrogate the other two.
The duo did not know much about Pang Bing, but they knew one of the deputy regional chiefs each. That gave Lin Huang some information about the two deputy regional chiefs by surprise.
Bloody had already integrated the memories that it had retrieved when Lin Huang was done with the interrogation.
"Zone No. 17 that we're in now is Liang Jin's territory. The regional chief is Pang Bing, and there are three deputy regional chiefs who have imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength. Apart from the four of them, there are two other imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses who were not recruited by Liang Jin. There are over 3,000 convicts in the entire zone. There are six imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses, 43 imperial-level white gold-rank powerhouses, and 368 imperial-level yellow gold-rank powerhouses … "
"So, what's the next plan? Now that we know Pang Bing's location, do we go straight to him? "Lin Huang asked. "Or do we follow the old plan and continue to lure them with bait?"
"The old plan won't work anymore." Bloody shook its head. "In reality, there's a high chance that we'll fail when we tricked Shi Qiang earlier. Fortunately, Shi Qiang trusted Ge Nan too much and didn't suspect anything. Otherwise, they might not have fallen for the bait. The failure rate is too high if we continue to use the old plan on Pang Bing and the rest. "
"So, do you mean that we'll kill Pang Bing directly this time?"
"We'll get the information from Pang Bing first. After killing him, we'll kill the three deputy regional chiefs one after another," Bloody said.
"Are we going to give up on the other convicts?" Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that.
"Of course not." Bloody shook its head while smiling. "Killing the regional chiefs and deputy regional chiefs is just the first step. We can only carry out the subsequent plan after we kill them."
Bloody revealed the subsequent plan slowly. Lin Huang could not stop nodding after listening to it.
"That's a great idea! If everything goes well, we'll be able to clear out the entire Zone No. 17 today. "
Lin Huang patted the Nightmare Tapir's head after glancing at Shi Qiang and the other two who were still standing where they were in a daze. "We can kill them now."
The Nightmare Tapir's eyes turned pitch-black as if they were dyed with ink.
A moment later, Shi Qiang and the other two collapsed onto the ground. Their vitality was fading rapidly.
The 50-odd convicts who had passed out on the ground earlier were fading rapidly too.
However, none of the 50-odd bodies had any wounds on them. They did not look like they were dead. Instead, they looked like they had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Let's bury them. They're human compatriots after all. It's inappropriate to leave their bodies in the wild." Lin Huang had no sympathy for the convicts. However, burying them was a form of respect for the dead. Moreover, it would not take up too much time.
Bloody summoned up to a hundred Parasitic Puppets. They dug a hole in less than ten minutes and buried all of the bodies underground.
"Let's go to Hat Mountain." Seeing that Bloody was done with its work and recalled all of the Parasitic Puppets, Lin Huang summoned Thunder.
They rode on Thunder's back and headed to Hat Mountain.
Hat Mountain was almost 2,000 kilometers away from the Shadow Valley. With Thunder's current speed, they arrived at their destination in less than 15 minutes.
They were attacked by two groups of convicts along the way. Thunder sped up to avoid them and got rid of them easily.
Lin Huang only knew why the mountain had such a common name when he saw Hat Mountain in mid-air. The entire mountain looked like a pointy hat. It was almost the same as the hats that witches liked to wear in fairy tales, except that it was green in color. The entire mountain was completely covered by trees, and the steep peaks stood tall, piercing the sky. It was completely different from the surrounding mountains. It stood out from the rest, which allowed Lin Huang to recognize the mountain at first glance.
"Hat Mountain really lives up to its name!"
Looking at the lush greenery of Hat Mountain, Lin Huang thought that Pang Bing, who had the courage to choose this mountain as his residence, had a unique taste.
"Set a small goal first, such as 1 second. Remember: Book House.
