”I don’t know, General Bai, you shouldn’t be curious about Xu Junwei. I think you should be curious about your subordinate, Wang Yushan.”

Nangong Minghua stared at Bai Xiuqin and said, ”Whether Wang Yushan is a single Long Yin or has developed an organization under your command is very important to you. If Wang Yushan gets into trouble, General Bai, you cannot shirk responsibility.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuqin was immediately frightened, revealing a hint of fear on her face: ”I, I failed to discipline my subordinates properly and am willing to accept punishment. However... I can accept any investigation; I have no relationship with Wang Yushan, and even less with Long Yin!”

Bai Xiuqin’s tone was very agitated, as anyone would know. Being associated with Long Yin, once discovered, means death.

”Whether there’s a relationship or not isn’t determined by words; it will be known after an investigation. Brother, what do you think?” Nangong Minghua stared at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded: ”I will conduct a thorough investigation and will not let any Long Yin escape!”

Qin Tian had remained silent at the Governor’s Mansion. Looking at Bai Xiuqin’s tense expression, his mind was heavy with thoughts about Wang Yushan being interrogated in the City Guard Army’s prison and Xu Junwei being held in the Soul Suppressing Hall.

Now, Long Yin is suffering a major blow; this is inevitable.

As the only one in East Capital City not yet captured, Qin Tian wondered how many he could rescue.

”At the very least, I have to rescue Xu Junwei. I can’t just watch him die without doing anything!”

Deciding firmly, Qin Tian continued pondering ways to help while going home. Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Zhan issued an order that brought him great hope—

Xiao Zhan assigned Qin Tian to guard the City Guard Army’s prison!

With excitement, Qin Tian went to the Governor’s Mansion to receive the order. Xiao Zhan spoke earnestly to him: ”Qin Tian, this time I feel that the Soul Suppressing Hall has ill intentions. Whether Wang Yushan is Long Yin, I am unsure. But I suspect the Soul Suppressing Hall may use this opportunity to target me and the City Guard Army!”

”So I send you to guard the prison. Remember, during the Soul Suppressing Hall’s interrogation of Wang Yushan, you must be present. Do not let them forcibly extract confessions or falsely incriminate our City Guard Army. You’re my man; you should know what needs to be done, right?”

Xiao Zhan stared at Qin Tian, who nodded solemnly: ”Governor, rest assured. Soul Suppressing Hall wants to falsely accuse us; it’s a foolish delusion! We act rightly and aboveboard, never accepting wrongful incrimination! I will do my utmost to uphold the dignity of both the Governor and the City Guard Army!”

”That’s good. Let’s see what kind of tricks the Soul Suppressing Hall has.”

Xiao Zhan looked towards the distance, weighed down by his thoughts.

Leaving the Governor’s Mansion, Qin Tian, holding the token, felt immense joy as he went directly to the City Guard Army prison to take over the number one cell.

That afternoon, Xuan Ye and Fu Long from the Soul Suppressing Hall arrived with two subordinates.

Qin Tian followed them into the prison directly, prompting Xuan Ye to pause and frown: ”I’m going to interrogate Wang Yushan next. Why are you following? Get out!”

”My apologies, Hall Master Xuan Ye. I have orders; regardless of who approaches Wang Yushan, I must be present, and you’re no exception…”

”Audacious!”

Not yet finished speaking, Fu Long beside him suddenly got angry and shouted at Qin Tian: ”What lowly status do you have to dare bargain with our Hall Master? Believe it or not, we could kill you right here!”

”Of course, I believe you. But, gentlemen, I’m just a minor officer in the City Guard Army acting on orders. Even if you wish to kill me, I must act according to my superior’s orders.” Qin Tian spoke leisurely, showing no fear of Fu Long’s threats.

Xuan Ye stared at Qin Tian: ”Is Xiao Zhan the one having you keep an eye on us?”

”Hall Master Xuan Ye, my superior only tasked me to keep an eye on Wang Yushan, not specifically you.”

”Heh, interesting. Your name is Qin Tian, right? I’ve seen you before; you left quite an impression at East Han Academy’s graduation martial arts competition. You almost joined our Soul Suppressing Hall... Heh, now you’re with the City Guard Army, and already a General...”

Xuan Ye smiled lightly at Qin Tian and said: ”Alright, since you want to observe, you may observe. However, if you dare to leak any information about our interrogation, no matter where you are, your end will be miserable! Understand?”

”Naturally, I will only focus on Wang Yushan and know nothing of other matters, nor will I speak of them.”

To his surprise, Xuan Ye did not anger as expected, easing Qin Tian’s mind, prompting a slight smile.

Subsequently, Xuan Ye and his three associates approached cell number one to begin interrogating Wang Yushan.

In the cell, Wang Yushan appeared wooden-eyed, dazed, obviously not in good spirits, and seemingly prepared to remain silent.

Initially, Xuan Ye and Fu Long were genteel in their conversation with Wang Yushan, mentioning that the Divine Sword had confessed everything and now belonged to the Soul Suppressing Hall. As long as Wang Yushan confessed truthfully, Xuan Ye assured his safety.

Yet, faced with Xuan Ye’s threats and temptations, Wang Yushan remained unmoved, repeatedly saying, ”What are you talking about? I don’t know anything; why did you arrest me?” He kept repeating these words, exhausting Xuan Ye and Fu Long’s patience at last.

Fu Long ordered his men to assault Wang Yushan, employing various tortures and the destructive power of ’True Qi’ to torment him.

Qin Tian stood nearby, fearing Wang Yushan might cave and reveal everything.

Nonetheless, Wang Yushan’s backbone proved sturdier than Qin Tian had imagined.

After severe beatings and tortures, Wang Yushan still repeated the same words, saying nothing else.

Fu Long personally attacked, gathering ’True Qi’ into his fists for another round of brutal strikes on Wang Yushan.

Qin Tian wanted to intervene yet found himself unable to do so, only watching helplessly as Wang Yushan suffered.

Finally, battered to the point of fainting several times, Wang Yushan still refused to say anything.

”Hmph, he’ll cry when he sees the coffin!”

Xuan Ye whispered a few words to Fu Long, who then ordered his men to bring the Divine Sword into the cell!

When the Divine Sword entered the cell, Qin Tian immediately lowered his head, fearing recognition by this man.

Though the Divine Sword hadn’t seen Qin Tian’s face, his aura and eyes were unmistakable. Qin Tian had attempted to conceal this then, yet his gaze was not entirely disguised. It wouldn’t be surprising if a glance would lead the Divine Sword to recognize him!

”Wang Yushan, Tie Shi, stop enduring. I have confessed everything. If you don’t, you’ll die; it’s as real as that… Confess early, and you’re making a meritorious performance. The Soul Suppressing Hall will treat you well…”

”Bah!”

The Divine Sword’s persuasion was met with Wang Yushan’s retort of spitting phlegm at him!

In anger, unanticipated, Wang Yushan’s spit landed right at the corner of the Divine Sword’s mouth, drool dripping disgustingly, causing the Divine Sword to tremble uncontrollably, his expression suddenly changing!
