Chapter 260: Chapter 229: Madam Zhao’s Secret (3)

’Who could it be?’

’Could it be that person from the Huang Family?’

’No, that’s impossible. His situation isn’t good, so he wouldn’t act so recklessly. Besides, I’ve never heard of the Huang Family having any Cultivation Technique that grants invisibility.’

’...’

Lin Shi felt a growing unease. She called several Maids to stay with her, and when night fell, she had them light red candles all over the room.

Tang Wen had no idea he had been discovered.

He snuck all the way to the junkyard where Elder Li lived.

Seeing him arrive alone, the Childlike Face Lady asked, surprised, "You didn’t catch anyone?"

Tang Wen ignored her. He greeted Elder Li and asked, "Elder Li, since you’ve raised a Black Boar Demon, I was wondering if you have any methods for spiritual interrogation."

Subduing a Black Boar Demon wasn’t difficult.

But the creature was very clever, its wild nature difficult to tame.

Furthermore, with its Illusion Technique and Spiritual Attacks, it would escape at the slightest lapse in attention.

The fact that Elder Li could tame a Black Boar and raise it to the Half-Step Extraordinary Level was telling.

It showed he had a unique mastery of Spiritual Power.

"I do. What will you give me in exchange?"

Tang Wen’s heart leaped with joy. "I’m preparing to deal with the Black Water Gang’s Eldest Young Master. The Huang Family is behind him. Once the Huang Family makes a move, I can help you kill them."

"For real?!"

"The Huang Family’s support for the Black Water Gang’s Eldest Young Master is practically an open secret. You can ask around."

Elder Li’s white hair fluttered. "From the sound of it, you’re a high-ranking member of the Black Water Gang yourself. Aren’t you afraid I’ll spread this information around?"

"Would you?"

Elder Li mused, "All the higher-ups in this city are black-hearted. The fact that you dare to make a move means you must have backing from others. Wait here, I’ll get it for you!"

He returned from his hut with a Stone Slab. "Spiritual Whip."

"It’s useful against people weaker than you, but not very effective against those whose Spiritual Power is close to your own."

"When I was training this Black Boar, it took a few thousand lashes from it, at least."

"Last time, when I ambushed you, if I hadn’t had the Black Boar’s help, my first move would have been this Spiritual Whip!"

"But you need to be aware: once an enemy is hit, they will scream. An uncontrollable, blood-curdling scream."

"Louder than a whore getting fucked by a donkey!"

Tang Wen nodded. ’That’s not a problem. I’ll just use the Stealth Technique to muffle their voice.’

’They could scream their lungs out and no one would hear a thing.’

Elder Li continued, "After the screaming, the intense pain causes a mental paralysis. At that point, the person is basically stupefied. They’ll answer whatever you ask. They won’t even be able to tell a lie."

"Excellent! Thank you, Elder Li." Tang Wen took the Stone Slab, dangling a carrot as he did. "I—We have a big plan."

Saying "we" made it sound like more people were involved.

"The plan is about to begin. When the time comes, I’m afraid we may need your help."

Knowing he would get a chance to kill members of the Huang Family, Elder Li agreed at once, a savage glint deep in his eyes.

Clutching the Stone Slab, Tang Wen left the junkyard.

Li Zi went to the courtyard where Ah Shui and her mother lived. He deliberately stirred the hornet’s nest, driving away two Martial Artists.

Meanwhile, Tang Wen took the Stone Slab and, using his Concealment, returned to the underground chamber.

KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK... KNOCK.

The sound of three short knocks followed by a long one echoed.

Liang Yu opened the door, but there was no one there.

But her intuition told her the Young Master had returned.

She pretended to go outside for a drink of water. When she returned to the chamber, sure enough, Tang Wen was sitting cross-legged, studying a Stone Slab.

"Young Master?"

Tang Wen’s gaze was calm. "Do you have a place in the city?"

"Yes, with two old servants looking after it."

"Go bring the three Maids from my outer residence to your place."

Liang Yu was confused but didn’t ask a single question. She immediately stood up and said, "I’ll go at once."

Tang Wen was still sitting on the floor. As she rose, he looked up.

The view was breathtaking—two majestic peaks trembling with her movement.

He grabbed her ivory wrist. "Not so fast. Help me with my cultivation first."
