Chapter 228: Interrogation, injustice
The second underground floor was filled with gloomy air.
The candlelight flickered, and the smell of decay and stench filled the air.
Countless monsters were locked in cages, sometimes roaring, sometimes wailing, full of hatred for the human race.
"The essence and blood of monsters can be used to practice secret methods, refine elixirs, and can also be used as medicinal baths. It has many uses, so living monsters are more valuable than dead monsters."
Wei Kun, dressed in a cloth shirt, looked calm, and walked into the second floor.
He flicked his sleeves and asked the others to bring in the monsters captured in the mountains for imprisonment.
These monsters still need to be interrogated.
The Sifang Lord Family wanted to know, who had the treasure?
Everyone followed into the second floor of the black prison, with a curious look on their faces. When they looked around, they saw the monsters, which were either fierce or weak, and most of them were shocked.
There were too many!
Especially the county warriors.
They had no idea before that there were so many monsters imprisoned underground in the county.
A quick glance showed that there were at least hundreds of them!
In the depths of the dark and deep black prison, there were three terrifying and bloody auras, which made people terrified.
"The three monsters must be imprisoned in the deepest part!"
"It's so scary. I feel cold even before I get close."
"Could the monster blood I exchanged for merit in the martial alliance come from here?"
"..."
Many warriors looked at the deepest darkness with fear and exploration in their eyes.
It's really a rare opportunity to observe the living monsters up close.
This was also the first time Chu Liang came to the second underground floor.
He had a black prison token, but he only walked around the first floor last time and got the news about the treasure of Shimen from the deputy leader of a Qingyi gang.
After that, he never came again.
He stepped into the depths of the black prison. The deeper he went, the stronger the sense of oppression from the three monsters became. Soon, the appearance of the three monsters came into view.
"One dog demon and two bear demons."
Chu Liang stopped, his eyes calm, looking straight ahead.
The three big demons were lying on the ground, tied up with heavy chains. Although they were strong, they looked very weak. They were all skinny and had traces of torture on their bodies. They were motionless, as if they were dead.
In the Wumeng, there is a precious medicinal material called "Black Bear Demon Bile", which requires a lot of merit in exchange. I think it was extracted from these two bear demons.
"Don't look at them now. They are weak and dying, but once they break free from their restraints, they will definitely cause a monstrous killing." Qi Cang came over and said in a deep voice.
"Chu Liang's worries are not unreasonable, but people like us have little influence and cannot intervene in this matter."
Qin Yuandao also walked over, wearing a scholar's robe and looking very gentle.
He smiled warmly and said to Chu Liang: "Chu Liang, the Lord's family is very concerned about the treasure. We will all accept the questioning. You are very suspicious. Have you thought of an excuse?"
"I have thought of it."
Chu Liang was very calm. With his lying skills, it would not be a problem to deceive the Lord's family.
If the other party does not believe...
At worst, he can swear to the sky and make a cruel oath in person.
Most warriors take oaths very seriously, unlike Chu Liang who does not care.
The black market owner also came over, wearing a black robe, and said coldly: "You have caused a lot of trouble this time. You should reach the skin refining realm as soon as possible. Don't delay. If you need a breakthrough treasure, come to me directly in the black market. I can borrow a breakthrough treasure from the black market in the prefecture city that increases the possibility of at least 40%."
"Thank you."
Chu Liang bowed. Although the owner was indifferent, he showed goodwill to him many times.
The treasure with a 40% chance is worth a lot of money.
Most auxiliary treasures can only increase the chance by 10% or 20%. Even so, they will still be snatched up by countless blood coagulation realm warriors at sky-high prices.
The black market was willing to lend Chu Liang a copy directly, without any extra requirements, and even without mentioning the return date. It was obvious that they planned to continue to bet on him and keep pressing on him.
On the side, Qin Yuandao had a warm face and smiled without saying anything.
He was the only one present who knew that Chu Liang had probably broken through long ago.
Not long after, the warriors of the Sifang Lord family began to act, taking everyone away one by one, calling them to the secret room of the black prison alone, and asking about the treasures in the valley.
Soon it was Chu Liang's turn.
"Chu Liang, come with me."
The one who asked him was the gray-haired old man Wei Kun.
The two entered the secret room and sat opposite each other.
Although Wei Kun was old, his eyes were not cloudy. Instead, he had a bright light and sharp eyes, like a sharp sword that could see through anyone's soul.
He looked at Chu Liang, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him, surpassing the strength of the Leather Refining Realm that he had originally displayed.
This old man who drove the car for the Marquis turned out to be a strong man of tendon refining!
Bang!
The door of the secret room was closed tightly, and the candlelight flickered for a moment.
At this moment, even greater pressure burst out, like a mountain or a sea, oppressing Chu Liang.
Wei Kun shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, shaking people's hearts: "Chu Liang, where did you hide the treasure?!"
He didn't even ask Chu Liang if he had taken the treasure, but directly asked Chu Liang where he hid the treasure, as if he had already determined that the treasure had been taken away by Chu Liang.
This loud shout was breathtaking, like a demonic sound piercing the ears, and the entire secret room was shaken.
If it were someone else here, unprepared, and suddenly shouted, I'm afraid they would be frightened to the point of mental collapse, and subconsciously answer the other party's questions.
But Chu Liang just frowned slightly.
Why yell so loudly?
He answered calmly: "When the treasure was born, I was still far away. Although I saw the blood rising to the sky, I didn't have time to rush over."
Seeing his calm appearance, Wei Kun was surprised for a moment.
"Good boy, no wonder you can stand out in this poor place of Anping County, you have some skills!" Wei Kun knew that the trick just now was useless, and his voice returned to normal.
His eyes were like an eagle, sharp and deep, and stayed on Chu Liang's face.
"Chu Liang, you don't have to lie to me, I know you took the treasure." Wei Kun said slowly.
"Old Wei, don't wrongly accuse me, I have no grudges with the Marquis' Mansion." Chu Liang replied calmly.
"I am not wronging you." Wei Kun looked at him and said, "Chu Liang, I have a unique secret technique to observe the treasure light. The treasure light on your body is rich, far beyond ordinary people. You must have obtained a treasure that defies the heavens."
Hearing this, Chu Liang felt relieved, and his face remained unchanged.
Both mice said that the light of the treasure on his body was very dim now. If we judge by the light of the treasure, at most we can judge that he has a mid-level treasure.
This treasure is not against the sky.
Therefore...
This old man must be deceiving him!
If it were an ordinary person, most of them would really believe it. After all, there are many secret techniques in the Marquis' Mansion, and it is not impossible to have a treasure-hunting secret technique.
Chu Liang said sincerely: "Old Wei, I did get the inheritance of a muscle-refining master, but this inheritance should not be snatched by the Marquis' Mansion, right?"
"Haha, you are cunning, don't beat around the bush with me, you know what I want."
Wei Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, his momentum was overwhelming, his hands were dry like eagle claws, and he slowly knocked on the stone table.
"Chu Liang, I'll be frank. If you don't take out the treasure, you can't walk out of here alive today."
