Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Just as Qin Tian made his move, a sly smile appeared on Zeng Mingli’s face!

”Hehe, Iron-faced Dragon King, you’ve walked right into the trap; you can’t escape now, so stop struggling, hahaha...”

Clang!

Zeng Mingli laughed loudly at Qin Tian, and just as Qin Tian’s palm reached out with a grasping force, Zeng Mingli suddenly sank into the ground!

This underground prison actually has a trap!

In an instant, Zeng Mingli disappeared from sight!

And from outside the dungeon, rumbling sounds came.

Experts from the Soul Suppressing Hall were quickly assembling here!

At this moment, Qin Tian was surrounded in the dungeon!

Indeed, Zeng Mingli had a conspiracy! No wonder he agreed to Qin Tian’s request so readily!

”Since I’m here, I might as well stay. Let’s see how strong these so-called experts from the Soul Suppressing Hall really are!”

Qin Tian was not flustered; instead, he turned his head to glance at Xu Junwei, who was on his back.

While the experts gathered outside, Qin Tian quickly circulated True Qi into Xu Junwei’s body, and Xu Junwei slowly regained consciousness.

He looked up at Qin Tian, who was wearing a dragon head mask, hesitated for a moment, and said, ”Who are you...”

Qin Tian took out a bottle of Qi-gathering Pills and handed it to Xu Junwei, saying, ”I came to rescue you. Take this elixir to recover your body, and I’ll get you out of here.”

Xu Junwei took a deep breath, consumed the elixir, and said in surprise, ”Are we surrounded now? Who exactly are you, and why are you rescuing me? You don’t need to save me... I’m already a dying man!”

A dying man!?

Qin Tian turned his head to look at Xu Junwei and asked, ”What do you mean by a dying man?”

Xu Junwei gave a bitter smile and said, ”Haven’t you noticed the abnormality in my body?”

”What abnormality?”

Qin Tian had confirmed earlier that Xu Junwei was not under the control of Demon Clan spells, but upon hearing his words, he was taken aback.

”My body has already begun to decay, including all my internal organs.”

Xu Junwei shook his head, ”You just infused me with True Qi, which will only extend my life by one or two days at most. Given my current physical condition, I’m sure to die within three days. The people from Soul Suppressing Hall tortured my body continuously for six days and nights to extract information. They tested all sorts of poisons and insects on me. There are still poisonous insects remaining in my body, having penetrated deep into my bones, and it’s impossible to remove them... so...”

Xu Junwei looked at Qin Tian with despair in his eyes and said, ”My friend, I’m deeply grateful for your rescue, but as I am a dying man, it’s not worth the risk for you. I don’t know how you managed to get into this dungeon, but now I hope you leave as soon as possible. You must escape. I won’t leave with you!”

Qin Tian knew that Xu Junwei said this to avoid burdening him.

Looking at Xu Junwei, it was clear he was at death’s door!

Qin Tian felt a sharp pain in his heart!

The Forbidden Army and the Soul Suppressing Hall were too ruthless!

Searing anger surged from within Qin Tian.

He stared at Xu Junwei and said, ”Teacher Xu, you should recognize my voice by now, right?”

Qin Tian used his true voice this time, and upon hearing it, Xu Junwei was stunned and said in shock, ”You, you... Lonely Wolf, how did you end up here? You shouldn’t have come to rescue me! Go quickly!”

”Teacher Xu, I came here not only to rescue you but also to confirm something with you,” Qin Tian stared at Xu Junwei and said, ”Did you give me away?”

”That’s impossible! I’ve been trained countless times...”

Xu Junwei denied it outright, but as he spoke, he remembered something and said, ”One day, there was a time when they used the Soul Capturing Technique on me over a dozen times in succession. I managed to hold on every time, but once, my mind wandered, and I couldn’t withstand it, blurting out the name of one of my contacts, then mentioning your name. But before I could finish, I snapped out of the Soul Capturing Technique. From then on, I withstood all their torture without revealing any information!”

Qin Tian became tense at this point and asked, ”What did you say?”

”...I think I said... there was another contact, a famous general in Wang Chao, codenamed Lonely Wolf, last name Qin, first name Qin...”

Xu Junwei looked apologetically at Qin Tian and said, ”Now I remember, I only mentioned the surname Qin and didn’t say your full name because your name was the greatest taboo in my mind, so I was jolted awake instantly and didn’t reveal your full name.”

”Did they guess? I’m sorry; even though I’ve been trained countless times to resist the Soul Capturing Technique, the Soul Suppressing Hall’s people were too ruthless... I’m sorry.”

Xu Junwei lowered his head to apologize, but Qin Tian patted his shoulder, listening to the commotion outside as the Soul Suppressing Hall marshaled troops. He calmly said, ”Teacher Xu, let’s fight our way out together. With me here, I promise you’ll be safe.”

”I’m already beyond cure; it’s pointless to break out. Lonely Wolf, you came just in time. You must escape. I’ll tell you this: no one knows your true identity. In Long Yin, they only know you by the codename Lonely Wolf... If I die, you’ll become a lone wolf. Perhaps Long Yin won’t acknowledge you, so... escape, and go to the Imperial City’s Southern City, Southern Street No. 28 at the Gu’s Herbal Shop. Your identity token is there. Retrieve it; it’s the symbol of your identity. With it, you won’t be a rogue wolf anymore.”

”Go to Gu’s Herbal Shop; the password is ’Dragon Soars to the Sky, Hidden Dragon in the Abyss’. The owner will give you the item. You need to rendezvous with the Long Yin people as soon as possible.”

Hearing the shouts outside, Soul Suppressing Hall experts had cautiously begun to make their way toward them through the dungeon entrance, and Xu Junwei sounded anxious.

Qin Tian remembered Xu Junwei’s words and insisted on breaking out alongside him.

But Xu Junwei, brokenhearted and unwilling to drag Qin Tian down, flatly refused.

”Hahaha, now that you’re here, I have no regrets. Captured by the Soul Suppressing Hall, I lived a fate worse than death. Your arrival brings me relief! Go, accomplish our grand ambition for Long Yin! I’m honored to have fought alongside you!”

”Teacher Xu!”

Hearing Xu Junwei’s despairing words, Qin Tian knew Xu Junwei intended to end his life. He shouted in agony, watching as Xu Junwei charged at the wall, his instinct hurrying to use True Qi to stop him!

Yet, at the critical moment, Qin Tian hesitated.

Xu Junwei had already resolved to die, recognizing his fate was sealed. Captured, he found life worse than death. In this moment, suicide was his ultimate release. Why stop him?

Bam!

Xu Junwei crashed into the wall with a dull thud, collapsing at Qin Tian’s feet.

In Qin Tian’s heart, the most pristine of Long Yin was thusly bid farewell.
