But did they need to be reasonable? In the underground world, especially in the Phantom City, Faithfulness Pavilion was reasonable. They had the final say in the rules of the game. Even the Heavenly Court couldn't do anything to them.
The handsome man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had weathered many storms in his life, but this was the first time he had fallen into such an unjust situation. He hadn't done anything and he was already in this state.
He was sure that they didn't know who he was or what he wanted to do before they captured him. But they didn't care and just captured him. What could he do?
Then again, this showed how much control Faithfulness Pavilion had over the Phantom City. They could target him just because he opened the window a little too long.
Reality confirmed his judgment. The brawny man whistled and teased, "Pretty boy, tell me. Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The handsome man pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, "You should know what kind of people we are. Even if we say it out loud, we will still die. Cut the crap and give us a quick death." Without teeth, his voice was a little distorted.
"Yo! You're pretty stubborn. "The brawny man with a fierce face revealed a sinister grin.
The person next to him was the one who broke into the handsome man's house. He stepped forward and said, "Gang Tou, this guy's cultivation isn't high, but he knows two attributes of metal and earth skills. If we hadn't been prepared, we might have let him escape."
This wasn't a lie. If it weren't for the people waiting below, this person would have fallen down layer by layer. Once he burrowed into the ground, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack to find him in the crystal coin mine.
The handsome man's expression changed slightly.
"Metal and Earth Dual Attribute Cultivation Techniques? There aren't many people with this kind of talent! "The brawny man sneered and tilted his head, saying," Find Painted Shadow and compare it. "
Someone behind him immediately turned around and left. At the same time, someone searched the handsome man and the corpse on the ground, searching them for all their belongings.
Not long after, someone brought Painted Shadow and compared it with the handsome man. After locking onto the target, he gave it to the brawny man.
The brawny man took the jade archive and compared it again. He even pinched the handsome man's face and turned it left and right for a closer look. In the end, he let go and chuckled. "Pervert Jiang Yi. So it's this guy. I thought he was just a lone thief. However, there were actually poisonous fangs hidden in his mouth. It seemed like he was a death warrior from some clan. Interesting. I say, Jiang Yiyi, being stubborn here is useless. It's all about how long you can last. Here, there are many ways to deal with those who are stubborn. No one has been able to withstand the interrogation methods here. In the end, they will confess everything and suffer a lot. Why bother? "
That's right, the handsome man was indeed Jiang Yiyi. He had never imagined that he would be captured in such a manner.
Hearing about interrogation methods, Jiang Yiyi's expression turned ugly. He pursed his lips and said, "Don't waste your energy. Give me a quick death! "
"If you don't know what's good for you, then I can't do anything about it. Brothers, serve him food!" After saying that, the burly man left with his hands clasped behind his back. As he walked out of the door, he said, "Take their Star Bells and compare them to the database. See if there's anyone we can contact. This guy specifically targets the women of the celestial heavens' officials, and he's even a death warrior. I'm afraid his origin isn't simple. Normal people can be eliminated. Perhaps we can save some time by comparing them from top to bottom. "
The Pavilion of Faith and Justice had been in charge of the underground world for many years. They had secretly established a huge and dense set of channels that was unique in the world.
"Yes!" The people behind him acknowledged the order and left.
"Ah!" A tragic scream came from the stone room behind him. The burly man turned around to take a look. He shook his head and smiled. "Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Half a day later, the burly man came to an outdoor room. He knocked on the door and heard someone say, "Come in." He pushed the door open and entered. He walked to the window and cupped his hands. "Seventh Master."
Seventh Master, who was looking out the window with his hands clasped behind his back, seemed to be in a daze. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did you get anything?"
The burly man said, "Seventh Master, this perverted thief is very stubborn. He still hasn't relented."
Seventh Master turned around and looked at him coldly. "Then why did you come looking for me? You want me to reply to my boss like this? "
The burly man chuckled. "Seventh Master, don't be anxious. I don't think it matters whether he opens his mouth or not. We found something interesting from this guy. Guess who the star bell is connected to from this perverted thief?"
Seventh Master immediately became interested. He knew that the burly man must be referring to something. He turned around and said, "Don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it."
The burly man was still smiling. "Huangfu Duanhao! Huangfu Family's Huangfu Duanhao. This perverted thief is most likely a member of the Great Ensemble. "
Seventh Master squinted his eyes. "It's not a big deal to have a star bell that is connected to Huangfu Duanhao. If he only knows Huangfu Duanhao, it doesn't mean that he is a member of the Great Ensemble."
The burly man shook his head. "Seventh Master, the key is that this perverted thief's identity is special. He won't let too many people know his identity, so there aren't many people coming and going. There aren't many star bells that are connected to him. Huangfu Duanhao's contact information is thought-provoking. Most importantly, we also found a star bell that is connected to Huangfu Duanhao on the other victim. This makes us suspicious. "
Seventh Master crossed his fingers on his abdomen and rubbed his thumbs together. "Go! Get the information of Jiang Yiyi's previous victims. "
"Okay!" The burly man nodded and left quickly.
"Are you sure he is a member of the Great Ensemble?"
When Seventh Jue grasped the situation and reported to Cao Man, Cao Man was also quite surprised.
Seventh Master nodded and said, "Most likely. There shouldn't be any mistake."
Cao Man paced back and forth and said in confusion, "The Great Ensemble is controlled by Shangguan Qing, which means it belongs to the Heavenly Palace. But this Jiang Yiyi has repeatedly attacked the women of the Heavenly Court's officials. What is going on?"
Seventh Master said, "I couldn't figure it out before. Later, I gathered the background of all of Jiang Yiyi's victims to investigate. The incidents happened at different times and in different areas. I was a little surprised after investigating. I found a common point among a considerable number of people. They had more or less offended that person from the Heavenly Palace, or were disliked by that person from the Heavenly Palace. However, that person from the Heavenly Palace couldn't do anything to them due to reason. In the end, they were all humiliated by Jiang Yiyi. Of course, there are also people who don't have this special situation, but I think it's just a smokescreen to cover up the previous point and avoid suspicion. "
"Oh!" Cao Man, who was pacing back and forth, stopped and said, "It seems that Shangguan Qing is indeed good at flattering Master Qing. He even dares to use such a dirty trick to control the Heavenly Palace for so many years. No wonder he can stand tall and is favored by the Heavenly Palace! It seems that the Heavenly Court has been tracking down the pervert Jiang Yiyi for so many years. It's a masterpiece of the Heavenly Palace to suppress the dissidents. No wonder they haven't been able to catch him. There are always people informing this pervert. How can they catch him? It's only because the Heavenly Palace can't interfere with us that we have a chance. Otherwise, I'm afraid we might not be able to catch this little thief. This time, Jiang Yiyi has his eyes on the Ghost City's main residence again … "He chuckled playfully.
Seventh Master nodded and said, "With this background, it's not hard to guess Jiang Yiyi's intention to target the Ghost City's main residence. Master Qing suffered a loss in the hands of Heavenly King Kou, so he must think of a way to turn the tables. Once the innocence of Heavenly King Kou's adopted daughter is ruined, I'm afraid that even Niu Youde will find it difficult to face it. He deliberately wants to break up the couple and then drag Niu Youde back to the Heavenly Palace. Niu Youde has already used Jiang Yiyi's name in the Yuding Domain before. It's reasonable for Jiang Yiyi to seek revenge. If something happens, no one will suspect the Heavenly Palace. "
Cao Man nodded and said, "This trick is indeed a little sinister, but I have to admit that it's very effective."
Seventh Master asked, "Should we tell Niu Youde?"
"No!" Cao Man raised her hand and said with a strange expression, "The fewer people who know about this, the more power we have to hold it in our hands. Think about it, once the world knows that the Heavenly Palace has done such a dirty thing, how will Master Qing endure it? What will those officials who have been humiliated by Jiang Yiyi think? What will the entire imperial court think? Now the old man is working together with Old Monster Kou to pressure the Empress to have an heir, but Master Qing is dragging it. Old Monster Kou won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. The other families also don't want the old man to have a good time. Now that we have this handle in our hands, we can help Master Qing make a decision. This Niu Youde really came to the Ghost City at the right time. We didn't help him in vain! "
Seventh Master: "What about Jiang Yiyi?"
"This pervert is very important. Let me confirm it with the old man first." Cao Man said and took out the star bell to contact the outside world.
After a long time, Cao Man put down the star bell and turned to ask, "Did Jiang Yiyi confess?"
Seventh Master: "Not yet, he is quite stubborn. I think he can hold on for a while, but he will inevitably confess in the end."
Cao Man said, "Immediately inform the people below to stop the torture. We can't let Jiang Yiyi confess."
Seventh Master was stunned, but he quickly took out the star bell and ordered the people below to do it. Then he asked curiously, "Does the old man have other considerations?"
Cao Man sighed, "The old man is still more far-sighted in some matters. I am still not as good as the old man when it comes to foresight! The old man's meaning is very simple. This kind of handle can't be used unless it is a critical moment. Even if Master Qing compromises, he will be angry. Even if the Empress has an heir, it will be forced by the Xiahou family. Master Qing will not tolerate this. I'm afraid that even if the Empress has an heir, the final result may not be what the Xiahou family wants. Give Jiang Yiyi to Niu Youde! "
Seventh Master was surprised, "Give him to Niu Youde?"
Cao Man: "After giving him to Niu Youde, immediately spread the news that Niu Youde has captured Jiang Yiyi."
Seventh Master: "I'm afraid that Shangguan Qing has already guessed that we have captured Jiang Yiyi. There is no point in giving him to Niu Youde now."
