Chapter 1127: Ruthless Heart 6

Chen Ling looked at the thorn whip in his hand, his expression somewhat subtle.

Although he said he was going to interrogate them, he actually just wanted to see how Jian Changsheng and the others were doing... According to Chen Ling's understanding of the 6-generation, although the current situation was troublesome, they shouldn't be at their wits' end. Chen Ling intended to test them first. If they really had no means to escape, he would have to help secretly, at least to let them escape this sacrificial劫.

But Chen Ling didn't expect Zheng Ye to be so serious, giving him a "torture instrument" in public, clearly wanting Chen Ling to interrogate these people seriously.

The bonfire was in the center of the village, and many Jiangtian Sect members could see it. If he didn't hit them, it would definitely make everyone suspicious...

This time, Chen Ling was stuck; hitting them wasn't right, and not hitting them wasn't right either.

Chen Ling sighed long in his heart.

At the same time, his palm hidden in his sleeve rubbed gently, and the small stone he had prepared long ago suddenly swapped with the key in Zheng Ye's pocket. That was the key to the stone locks that bound Jian Changsheng and the others.

After doing all this, Chen Ling carried the thorn whip silently and walked toward the bonfire.

……

Jian Changsheng sat silently at the edge of the bonfire, his head lowered, his dim eyes looking at the sand on the ground, saying nothing.

Sun Bumian, who was on the side, saw this and exchanged a silent look with Jiang Xiaohua. Both of their expressions were somewhat complex.

"What to do? He seems quite sad?"

Sun Bumian leaned into Jiang Xiaohua's ear and whispered.

Jiang Xiaohua didn't know how to comfort people, just shook his head blankly, one hand rubbing the heavy stone lock worn on his body, and asked tentatively:

"Or, I'll just smash this thing... and take him out? Will he be happy?"

"I think he's probably not sad because he's trapped," Sun Bumian said thoughtfully, his eyes behind his small round sunglasses revealing a shrewdness that saw through the world.

"Him, I'm afraid he's having trouble with his own bad luck. Along the way, he's hit walls everywhere. I guess he's taken all the responsibility on himself... Plus, he sacrificed his own luck to save Heart, and now Heart has run away, and he's been tripped here because of his bad luck. He's inevitably anxious and angry... This back and forth, and he's fallen into a dead loop."

Jiang Xiaohua didn't seem to understand, just nodded blindly:

"Oh... then I'll take him out? Will he be happy?"

"Probably not. He'll only feel more like he's a waste, a drag."

"Then what to do?"

Sun Bumian sighed long, leaning against the stone mound, looking at the narrow cliff sky and saying leisurely: "...Let nature take its course."

Jiang Xiaohua said "oh," and also lay on the ground, motionless.

I don't know how long it had been,

Square J's resentful voice echoed in their ears again:

"No... I'm busy trying to save you guys, why are you so leisurely?"

Jian Changsheng's hollow eyes regained a trace of life. He came to his senses and asked eagerly, "How is the situation?"

"There is an Archbishop and two red-robed Bishops in the village. It's almost impossible to rush out by brute force. However, I surveyed the soil quality under this village. Although it's on a cliff, it's not as hard as I imagined... I've planned an underground escape route that can lead directly from here to outside the village, but it will take time to dig through."

"How long, roughly?"

"At least until late at night."

Sun Bumian frowned, "But didn't you say just now that they would start the sacrificial ritual? What if it's too late?"

"We can only gamble," Square J said, and a small green sprout emerged from the soil beneath the three of them, drilling into the stone locks like a small snake.

"The stone locks on you aren't a problem. Give me some time, and I can replicate the key. In the worst case, we'll just have to fight them head-on."

As the small green sprout drilled into the stone locks, Jian Changsheng and the others could vaguely feel the heavy chains on their bodies vibrating. They were about to ask something when Square J said vigilantly:

"Someone's coming!"

Jian Changsheng frowned and looked forward.

He saw a figure wearing a Jiangtian Sect red robe, holding a hideous-looking thorn whip, walking slowly toward them.

Sun Bumian saw the whip, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Not good..."

Jian Changsheng stared fixedly at the Jiangtian Sect member, his repressed anger and gloom surging up, and he said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Whatever methods they have, just come at me!"

"!" Sun Bumian immediately moved his butt, sitting silently behind Jian Changsheng, giving him a thumbs up. "Righteous!"

Jian Changsheng: ...

Seeing Chen Ling walking over with the thorn whip, the two or three Jiangtian Sect members passing by occasionally looked over here, gloating like they were watching a show.

Chen Ling felt the gazes of everyone around him and stood slowly in front of the bonfire with a cold face.

Snap—!!

Chen Ling whipped the thorn whip into the air, the sharp tip tearing through the air and making a loud explosion, startling the other Jiangtian Sect members and Jian Changsheng's group. The momentum was extremely fierce!

Jian Changsheng's face turned pale, and Jiang Xiaohua, who was lying on the ground, also moved his body silently, hiding behind Jian Changsheng.

"Speak," Chen Ling said indifferently. "Who ordered you to attack here?"

Jian Changsheng and the others: ?

"Wasn't it your Archbishop who caught us on the road? How did it become us attacking you?" Although Jian Changsheng's face was pale, his momentum was not weak at all, and he said grimly.

"The human realm is extremely far from here. Why would you come here for no reason?! You must have an ulterior motive!!!"

"We were originally going to the Fusionist faction! We just got lost on the way..." As Jian Changsheng spoke, he suddenly realized and immediately asked back fiercely, "Why I'm going there, why should I tell you?!"

Fusionist faction?

Why are they going to the Fusionist faction?

Hearing these three words, Chen Ling felt a slight movement in his heart, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind...

Are they looking for me?

The 6-generation has never had any intersection with the Fusionist faction. Unless they received a mission, they wouldn't travel thousands of miles to the Fusionist faction. But if there was a mission related to the Fusionist faction, the Twilight Society should have assigned it to Fusionist members. In any case, it wouldn't be the turn of these three newcomers to come forward.

So the only possibility is that they are looking for him...

Thinking of this, the fierce and ruthless disguise in Chen Ling's eyes began to waver. He looked at Jian Changsheng, who was baring his teeth like a vicious dog, and for a moment didn't know what to do...

At the same time, the few Jiangtian Sect members watching from afar saw Jian Changsheng's reaction and showed smiles of watching a good show.

Chen Ling realized that he had already asked two questions, and Jian Changsheng and the others didn't seem to intend to cooperate. Under the watchful eyes of the Jiangtian Sect, he had to take action.

Chen Ling gritted his teeth, gripped the thorn whip in his hand, and raised it high...
