C252 Withered Blood!

"Before this, all you saw were members who betrayed the Tiansha organization or committed a grave mistake and were sentenced to death by the heavens!" Seeing the two's reaction, the black clothed man could not help but taunt and laugh. He believed that Ye Wuchen and Qin Ziqing were definitely frightened.

However, what they wanted was this kind of effect. The Tiansha organization did not allow traitors, so every new member who entered the Tiansha organization would see a bloody scene and know the consequences of betraying them. That was why they did not dare to betray them.

Listening to the man's explanation, Ye Wuchen didn't say anything, he only hugged Qin Ziqing with a heavy expression, and followed the man into the depths.

Finally, the three of them arrived at a dark underground passage. After entering deeper into the tunnel, they saw a secret room separated by a stone slab. The man walked forward, took out his badge, aimed it at the groove on the stone slab, and placed it there.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Very quickly, the stone tablet released a sound, following that, Ye Wuchen saw the stone tablet opening from the bottom, the black clothed man walked straight in, Ye Wuchen and Qin Ziqing followed behind him with heavy expressions.

After entering the secret room, Ye Wuchen felt an unprecedented cold aura, this kind of cold was not because of the basement, but because of the ghost aura that floated in the air.

With a sullen face, Ye Wuchen held Qin Ziqing's cold little hand tightly and walked into the depths of the secret room.

The secret chamber was very large. It was several thousand meters of space, and it was as if it were a separate palace hall. So, it gave people a very empty and strange feeling, as well as a very ghostly feeling.

"You guys wait here. I'll see you guys after the leader meeting!" The man stood in the middle of the secret room and glanced at Ye Wuchen and Qin Ziqing. He then smiled, and in a flash, his body disappeared like a streak of black Qi.

Ye Wuchen stared at the center of the secret room, where a slight trace of space-time energy flashed past, which meant that standing there, one could teleport and disappear.

Seeing that the man had left, Qin Ziqing slightly relaxed his focus, but his face still carried a pale white and heavy expression. He could not help but ask Ye Wuchen: "Big Brother Ye, what do we do?"

"There's no other way, I'll take it one step at a time. If there's really no other way," Ye Wuchen said as he furrowed his brows and made a hand gesture to kill.

If there really was no way to escape, they could only kill. Regardless of whether there was any hope or not, at least they couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Ye Wuchen originally had two big trump cards. Other than his own mental energy attack, he had Long Xiaotian as well, but he only had one mental energy attack left. Furthermore, Long Xiaotian had transferred a bit of his Dragon Qi to him, so he was still unsure how long it would be before he would wake up.

Therefore, Ye Wuchen currently had no more trump cards to play, otherwise he would not be in such a passive position.

The atmosphere in the secret room was extremely depressing. Standing here, even his spine could feel the chilly winds blowing, and he was not used to it.

Creak!

While the two of them were waiting, the wooden chair in front of them creaked. This chair seemed as if no one had sat in it for a long time and was about to fall apart.

Creak, yet another clear sound, but this time it was just like the sound of bones twisting, at the same time, a powerful Qi burst out, causing Ye Wuchen and Qin Ziqing to be pushed back a few hundred meters.

Ye Wuchen snorted coldly, and threw out a punch to counter the oppressive aura, and to prevent Qin Ziqing from getting injured.

On the wooden chair, a frail, mummy-like old man suddenly appeared. The old man's hair was curled up and wrinkles covered his face, making him look extremely old. A pair of bloody eyes were deeply sunken into his bones.

The old man's teeth looked terrifying as well. They were similar to vampires, but not every one of them was the same.

The old man's skinny body was dressed in a blood-colored robe, but his aura was extremely sinister and cold. The level of his Holy Spirit Fifth Level allowed him to control the entire secret room, and even Ye Wuchen was stomped on.

The old man appeared on the wooden chair, and watched Ye Wuchen quietly. As for Qin Ziqing, he filtered through.

After sizing him up for a long time, the old man suddenly laughed sinisterly like a devil: "Die Die, you're not bad at all, Jiaoniang has chosen a very good protector!"

"However …"

However, before he finished speaking, the old man's expression suddenly changed. His gaze became extremely sinister and stern, and he angrily shouted while pointing at Ye Wuchen: "However, you killed my Tiansha organization, and you are a heaven's pride expert in the outside world. What do you think we should do?"

The sudden change in his emotions made Ye Wuchen immediately believe that this was an old man with a fickle mind, who knows when he would change sides. No wonder when Jiaoniang brought up this foster father, it was filled with pain.

"Since you already knew, why didn't you let them kill me directly?" Ye Wuchen smiled faintly, looked at the old man, and asked back. She was not nervous nor was she afraid, but the Qin Ziqing by the side was already trembling a little.

Ye Wuchen tightly held onto Qin Ziqing's jade hand, giving her the last bit of perseverance.

The skinny old man looked at Ye Wuchen in shock, then smiled with interest, he had never seen such a calm and collected Heaven's Pride, if it was anyone else, even if it was the Four Great Grandmasters, they would find it difficult to maintain their composure.

However, the Ye Wuchen in front of him was able to do it. His mental quality was not bad, but it was a pity that he was a Heaven's Pride from the outside world.

"I will kill you. I just want to ask you a question!" The skinny old man laughed coldly, then stared intently at Ye Wuchen and asked again, "Speak, why didn't Jiaoniang kill you, and instead made you into a protector?"

A gloomy and cold Qi swept out, pressing down so that Ye Wuchen was almost unable to move, cold sweat flowed endlessly from his forehead, but Ye Wuchen gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat, much less kneel down to the old man.

The old man also realized that no matter how much of an imposing manner he used to suppress Ye Wuchen, the latter would not kneel even half a step. Even if Ye Wuchen's legs were in unbearable pain, this was also the case.

In the end, the old man had no choice but to give up. This was a heaven's pride level expert with dignity, so for now, he would just let him go.

"You captured me to ask about this?" Ye Wuchen looked at the old man and laughed coldly.

Hearing this, the old man slowly nodded his head. He walked down from the wooden chair with one step, and appeared in front of Ye Wuchen with yet another step.

"Indeed, that's the question!"

"You suspect your adopted daughter?" Ye Wuchen frowned, and asked probingly in a cold tone.

The skinny old man's expression changed, and he laughed in surprise: "Not bad, Jiaoniang has already told you that she is my adopted daughter, looks like between the two of you …"

"We have a cooperation and an agreement between us, so we can speak whatever we want!" Ye Wuchen had not been exposed by the withered old man's probing words, nor did he reveal any flaws. Instead, he firmly laughed in disdain, causing the old man's expression to become slightly more serious.

The old man asked again, "You really have no personal relationship with each other?"

"What does the leader mean by a personal relationship?" Ye Wuchen asked the old man, but the old man was completely stunned.

"Do you doubt the loyalty of the Jiaoniang, or do you doubt my intentions?" Ye Wuchen's three consecutive questions had caused the old man to fall into a state of silence, and he didn't know how to reply.

Ye Wuchen knew that this was a chance for him to defend himself and also a chance to fight for the safety of the Jiaoniang.

"That day, Ah Da caught me and gave me to Jiaoniang. Jiaoniang must have used a man's yang energy in order to cultivate her bewitching arts. You should know that."

"But I worked together with her, and the enemy became friends!" Ye Wuchen said with a heavy expression.

Hearing this, the skinny old man couldn't help but ask, "What cooperation?"

"I will help her pick out some true geniuses from the outside world. After that, she and her subordinates will go all out and contribute to the sacrifice!"

As Ye Wuchen said this, he looked straight at the old man. His face was heavy and firm, and the depths of his eyes showed no fear.

When the old man heard this, and looked at Ye Wuchen's extremely truthful gaze, he finally nodded in satisfaction. His doubt towards the Jiaoniang had also disappeared greatly, because the answers he had received from the people he sent to ask the Jiaoniang earlier were also about the same.

Ye Wuchen did not know that if he had compiled the information, the current Jiaoniang would have been killed and thrown into the two sides of the path of the punishment.

"You betrayed your world so willingly?" The skinny old man still didn't believe him and asked again.

"Betrayal? What do I have to say about betrayal? I am only loyal to my empire, the Yuan Wu Empire, and as for the heaven's pride experts in the outside world, wouldn't it be beneficial for me if I lost a few more? " Ye Wuchen laughed sarcastically, and then asked back with a tone of voice to look at the old man.

The old man was startled once again. That was right, if Ye Wuchen had left the other Heaven's Pride in this small world, then he would no longer have as many opponents as before. One day, he would have the chance to compete for the position of strong warrior.

As long as he did not betray his own empire, and did not set his sights on the prodigies of Yuan Wu Empire, wasn't that fine too?

Thinking of this, the old man no longer had any doubts in his heart, because these questions were almost the same as Jiaoniang's answers.

However, it was impossible for the two of them to have the opportunity to string words. After all, there were people guarding the whole journey here, so this should be true.

"I am the leader of the Tiansha organization, the Withered Blood!" The old man looked at Ye Wuchen, bellowed, and introduced himself.

Ye Wuchen slightly nodded his head, and then cupped his fists: "Leader!"

"You're not bad, and being a protector is good as well. I've heard your name before, like thunder piercing the ears. It's said that this time, the person ranked at the top of the Vast Sky Stele is also you, it's really not bad!"

"My Withered Blood will definitely increase the speed at which the ancestor of heavenly evil revives, so you should understand what your mission is!"

"Come, let me toast you with a glass of wine as a reward!"

Suddenly, the Withered Blood laughed coldly and stretched out his left hand. A cup of blood colored wine appeared out of nowhere.

But the old man just smiled like that, and handed the cup over to Ye Wuchen, his meaning was obvious, he wanted Ye Wuchen to drink the cup.

Ye Wuchen was very clear that this should be the poison. Jiaoniang was previously controlled by this poison to the point that he had no choice but to listen to its commands.

And now, the Withered Blood had also given him a cup of wine, wanting to manipulate him.

But Ye Wuchen didn't think much of it, took the cup and gulped it down.

It was sweet to the mouth and there was nothing wrong with it. There was no unbearable pain.

Ye Wuchen was a little doubtful, could it be that it was not poison wine?
