Chapter 1401: Chapter 371: Nothing Is Impossible_4

"This kind of thing is like a blockhouse. Once a blockhouse appears, trying to attack it from the outside is extremely difficult. The only way is to penetrate the enemy’s interior and then give the blockhouse’s guards some laxatives from within, then there will be no problem."

Hong Linxiu pondered while thinking about these random things. His current cultivation level was still quite impressive. As the Director of the Celestial Capital Department of the city, there was no problem at all.

But it was today.

He had just finished his work and was about to turn around to eat when he suddenly noticed a man dressed in a black stealth outfit in front of him.

Before he even had the chance to speak, he was already knocked out.

Before losing consciousness, one thought ran through his mind: "I just thought my cultivation was fine, and I thought my current strength could gradually deal with the Cloud Descending Sect, but then I got knocked out?!"

When he slowly opened his eyes again and looked around in confusion, he saw a man wrapped entirely in bandages standing before him.

This man held an Immortal Sword in his hand and looked at him unhurriedly.

"So who the heck is he, and why did he tie me up?"

After a brief moment of thought, Hong Linxiu was certain of one thing: since this man didn’t choose to kill him outright, there must be something that he needs from him. If he could determine what that something is, he could deduce the man’s identity.

He had a lot of confidence in his own wit.

"Senior, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us? Why did you tie me up?" Hong Linxiu started by asking this.

Since the other could tie him up without any resistance on his part, their strength must be superior, so calling them "senior" under these circumstances was appropriate.

It would be a bit too much to call him "daddy" right away.

And if it isn’t Yuchi, then who else could it be?

Yuchi, wanting to take action against the Cloud Descending Sect, naturally needed to learn all detailed information about the opposing forces. Thus, directly seeking out the Director of the Celestial Capital Department is a logical course of action.

"Are you from the Cloud Descending Sect?" Yuchi asked.

"..."

Hong Linxiu didn’t know how to answer this question. The person wrapped in bandages was unrecognizable, so he couldn’t determine their identity or why this question was suddenly posed, especially since the tone seemed rather serious.

Friend or foe?

After brief consideration, Hong Linxiu gave a very standard response:

"Senior, what is it that you want from me?"

"Could you be a bit more specific?"

"If I can cooperate with you, I will surely follow your lead. So don’t kill me; I’m really a very kind person."

The reason for saying this was simple: he didn’t know whether Yuchi was with the Cloud Descending Sect or just an adversary.

If he was with the Cloud Descending Sect, this could be seen as a test, but would he be exposed?

It couldn’t be.

For years, he had been handling such matters with extreme caution, climbing the ranks step by step. Being exposed wasn’t possible,

but there’s always that one in ten thousand chance.

If he really was exposed, he couldn’t reveal it openly.

Otherwise, the Cloud Descending Sect would definitely attack him.

Yuchi felt a bit speechless. This guy in front of him was quite the talker, befitting for a lackey of the Cloud Descending Sect.

Even now, he pretends nothing’s happened; if I didn’t know you’re from the Cloud Descending Sect, would I have come looking for you?

Yuchi said straightforwardly to Hong Linxiu, "Alright, alright, I already know you’re from the Cloud Descending Sect, so why are you still beating around the bush with me?"

"Just tell me the current locations of the Cloud Descending Sect, tell me all the locations, and I’ll make your end a bit quicker."

"Otherwise, I do have some torturous methods, but I consider myself very humane, and I don’t want to resort to these necessary methods with you. Once I use them, I start seriously doubting whether I have any humanity at all."

Hong Linxiu: "..."

Big brother, are you really talking about humanity and compassion when killing people?

Isn’t that a bit too fake?

But such thoughts remained in his heart; he dared not voice them, lest he incite the man’s wrath, and then what?

However, the person had already laid everything bare, clearly here for the Cloud Descending Sect?
