There were also some houses on the outskirts of Black Rock City, but the area was rather desolate. Since it was far from central places like the Alchemist Guild, public security was generally poor as well. Anyone with the means would usually move away; living anywhere within Black Rock City was safer than living here.
At that moment, inside one of those houses, a man in a pale moon-white robe was kneeling at the feet of another man seated before him, who wore the same kind of robe. Judging by the style, they were Misty Cloud Sect uniforms.
"Great Elder, this subordinate has interrogated Sun Yi for three days, but that fellow is remarkably stubborn. He has not revealed a single word about the Pill King information we seek."
"According to information this subordinate later uncovered, Sun Yi once sold a Qi Gathering Powder, yet instead of squandering the nearly three hundred thousand gold coins he received, he spent it all on his daughter's alchemy studies. Therefore, this subordinate suspects that his daughter is his weakness. However, when this subordinate threatened him with her, he firmly believed that no one would dare provoke the Alchemist Guild. Thus, this subordinate boldly requests that the Great Elder personally crush his resolve."
As the kneeling figure spoke, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly oppressive.
"Useless. You cannot even handle such a trivial matter." With an angry snort from the man seated at the head, the kneeling figure trembled violently as though struck by lightning.
"Great Elder, please forgive me." The figure on the ground hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Hmph. Lead the way. I would like to see just how hard Sun Yi's bones are." Yun Leng rose to his feet, his expression cold and sinister.
"Thank you, Great Elder." Rising
