Extracting the secrets of the Dark Demon Ridge from Brahma was a significant matter, and Su Luo was very concerned about the progress.
Chu Tianshu slapped the table, exasperated, "I came to you precisely for this, junior sister. That young master of the demon sect... I'm simply at my wit's end with him! I interrogated him for two days and two nights, and not only did he refuse to utter a single word, but he actually cried! He cried like a woman, and I couldn't even reprimand him properly. It's infuriating!"
Mentioning this matter made him utterly frustrated and stifled.
They had initially assumed that with junior sister's help in capturing Brahma, the subsequent interrogation would be theirs to handle, and they would surely be able to pry open his mouth.
Who knew...
The ferocious young master of the demon sect had turned into a pathetic, simple-minded child, afraid of everyone he saw, constantly crying for his sister, and saying nothing. He had tried to scare him with a whip, but before he could even strike, Brahma had fainted. This wasted two days, and they hadn't gotten anything out of him.
Chu Tianshu was so choked with frustration that he wanted to kill him!
"Junior sister, senior brother asked me to find you. If you're awake, please go over. This bastard Brahma can only be handled by you," Chu Tianshu said, rubbing his temples helplessly, looking like he had a splitting headache.
"Is that so?" Su Luo was both amused and annoyed.
Recalling the demeanor of Brahma's main personality, she understood why it was difficult to be harsh. After all, Qingxu Heaven was not the demon sect. They could resort to any means against vicious villains, but Brahma's situation was indeed quite peculiar.
Su Luo nodded, picking up her pace as she ate, "Alright, I'll go take a look after I finish eating."
In the Iron Blood Hall.
Li Tianjue sat to the side, stroking his brow, looking troubled.
The two outer disciples of Qingxu Heaven responsible for the interrogation stood nearby. One held a whip, while the other held a candied haw, trying to coax him, "Be good, obedient. If you tell me Fan Moluo's plan, I'll give you this delicious candied haw, okay?"
"Wuuu wuuu... I want sister, where is sister?"
Brahma, huddled in a corner, had a tear-streaked face and eyes swollen like steamed buns.
When Su Luo entered, this was the scene that greeted her.
Hearing footsteps, Li Tianjue knew Su Luo had arrived without turning his head. He straightened his back, his entire demeanor perked up, and he smiled, "Luo Luo, you're finally here. Did you sleep enough?"
"I slept enough."
Su Luo smiled and walked over, "Senior brother, I heard you couldn't do anything with Brahma, so I came to take a look."
Li Tianjue was rarely this bothered. Two days had already been wasted.
Interrogation was useless; Brahma would faint at the slightest touch. Scolding him didn't work either; he would only cry, and coaxing him yielded no results. He had no choice but to say, "Yes, that's why I asked Tianshu to find you. Otherwise, why don't you give it a try?"
Su Luo nodded and walked towards Brahma in the corner.
The moment Brahma saw Su Luo, he seemed to find his backbone. Tears still lingered on his face, and he struggled to stand up, anxiously calling out, "Sister! Sister, you're finally here. Save me, they're so scary! Wuuu wuuu..."
The two outer disciples of Qingxu Heaven: "..."
He actually called them scary?
They hadn't even used torture, just scared him a little and offered him candied haws, and this brat called them scary!
People from the demon sect truly twisted facts.
"Stop right there, don't pounce!"
Seeing the 'child version' of Brahma about to throw himself into her arms, Su Luo immediately dodged and frowned, "Look at your cowardly state, why are you crying? Are you still a man? Wipe your tears!"
Scolded, Brahma dared not say anything or cry. He quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"I, I won't cry anymore. Sister, don't be angry," he said timidly.
"I am very angry," Su Luo said with a deliberately stern face.
"Sister... don't be angry, okay? I was wrong, I'll be good," he pleaded.
Watching Brahma act spoiled and try to appease her, the two outer disciples' eyes nearly popped out.
They had tried to scare him at first, but he had burst into tears.
Yet, when Senior Sister Su spoke to him like this, he became so obedient?
Li Tianjue walked over, his expression somewhat relieved, and said to Su Luo, "It's still effective when you handle it personally. He only listens to you, so this interrogation matter can only be entrusted to you. Thank you for your trouble, Luo Luo."
Saying this, he handed Su Luo a piece of paper with many questions to ask Brahma.
These were questions that Li Tianjue and several elders had discussed and compiled over the past two days.
Su Luo also wanted to gather information quickly. Following the questions on the paper, she began to ask Brahma. As expected, no matter what she asked, Brahma became very obedient and answered one by one. If he couldn't answer, he would become fidgety, afraid of making Su Luo angry.
An hour passed, and they obtained a lot of secrets about the Dark Demon Ridge.
This included the demon sects currently under Fan Moluo's control, their total numbers, which experts were worth noting, and what they were planning recently... as well as which spies the demon sect had dispatched and how many were infiltrated among the major righteous sects.
This was more secret information than Qingxu Heaven had gathered in the past hundred years.
"Senior Sister Su is indeed amazing!"
"This is called one thing conquering another. This young master of the demon sect is so obedient in front of Senior Sister Su."
Not only the two outer disciples conducting the interrogation, but Li Tianjue was also relieved by Su Luo's success. With her here, many complex problems could be solved easily.
Up to this point, he felt that the best thing he had ever done was bring Su Luo back to Qingxu Heaven.
Finally, Su Luo asked a crucial question: "Brahma, did your father, Fan Moluo, send people to poison our fifth senior brother... No, you don't know fifth senior brother. Let me ask you this, did he send people to poison important figures in Qingxu Heaven?"
Brahma looked bewildered, "This... Father never told me."
"Such an important matter, and you don't know about it?" Su Luo's eyes widened.
"Sister..." Brahma's lip quivered, and he was about to cry again.
"Shut up, no crying! If you dare to cry, I'll hit you!" Su Luo raised her hand.
"I won't cry, Sister, don't be angry, I won't cry anymore!" Brahma immediately wiped his tears with his sleeve, his eyes red, making a great effort to appear as if he was holding back.
Su Luo was very unhappy that such an important matter yielded no results.
"Then what else do you know that's important, especially regarding Qingxu Heaven? Tell me everything." She was tired of asking one by one and let Brahma speak freely.
Brahma seemed to ponder for a long time, frowning, then quietly said, "I, I think I heard Father tell my brother before that as long as... as long as a few more years pass, the sect leader of Qingxu Heaven will die, and then..."
"What did you say?!"
Su Luo and Li Tianjue exclaimed simultaneously, staring at Brahma.
Brahma flinched in fright, and Su Luo immediately pressed, "Explain it clearly, what exactly is going on?"
"I, I really don't know, Sister."
Brahma looked at Su Luo's expression and said cautiously, "Father told my brother. I, I don't remember very clearly. I only remember a place called the 'Life and Death Chasm,' but I don't know where it is."
Li Tianjue was moved, "Life and Death Chasm, that is one of the Four Forbidden Zones."
Could Master be here?
Su Luo suddenly remembered something. Earlier, in the jade pendant given to her by Xiao Jingchen, she had seen a map using her Divine Eye. It was marked with the words 'Life and Death Chasm,' but later, with so many things happening, she forgot to tell Li Tianjue.
Could Master Bai Yanshu truly be in the Life and Death Chasm, one of the Four Forbidden Zones?
