Coercing a Confession

When the eighth rib was removed, the guy finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke.

This guy is Polluter from the Martial World, nicknamed the White Night Bat, and is incredibly Lightness Skill light-footed martial arts.

Luo Jun had experienced this firsthand. Even before unlocking his Yuan Qi, he descended the stairs at a remarkable speed, clearly due not only to his Root Bone talent but also to his exceptional agility.

As for Luo Jun's suspicion that he was being targeted, this was confirmed by the bat.

The Polluter resembled a teacher that he killed at school was also from the Martial World. His nickname was the Poison Blood Gu King. He mainly operated in the Southern Borderlands and had been cultivating Gu Technique for many years. He had planted Gu worms in his spine and heart, developing a body full of poisonous blood. The various evil spells he used with his poisonous blood were incredibly powerful and highly contagious. At his most active, he was even more dangerous than an apostle like Long Hui. He was a Polluter that gave the Yuan Cultivation Society a real headache.

Because the source of this guy's poisonous blood is the Gu worm planted in his body, even without unlocking any Yuan Qi, this poisonous blood still has some abilities that can be used. The poisonous blood that he sprayed on Luo Jun when he died was poisonous blood with tracking function!

Even though Luo Jun changed his clothes and washed his face, he hadn't completely removed the residual information from the poisonous blood. The Polluter who were chasing after this information to assassinate Luo Jun were all from the same Martial World arts world as the Poison Blood Gu King, and were also Polluter under the command of the Apostles. Because these Polluter had also undergone a slight modification by the Poison Blood Gu King, they were able to detect these hidden information that others couldn't see from a great distance!

Poisonous Blood?

Luo Jun examined his hand carefully, then sniffed it. Even with his senses, he couldn't detect anything special. It seemed the information about this poisonous blood was quite subtle...

However, Luo Jun was more pleased than worried upon hearing the news.

In a complex city like this, finding Polluter is already difficult... But with this, prey will keep coming to us, which is incredibly convenient!

This reminded him of when he killed the Poison Blood Gu King, and the dice rolled Great Success... So that's the effect? That's really a windfall!

However, this also reminded Luo Jun of the Poison Blood Gu King's dying words: he wouldn't live past tonight...

"How long will the tracking mark effect of this blood poison last?" Luo Jun pressed.

"Normally, it shouldn't take more than six hours..." White Night Bat said through gritted teeth and enduring the pain.

Twelve hours... does that mean this thing had already failed by morning? Luo Jun felt a little disappointed.

"Wait... you said you're both subordinates of the Apostles?" Luo Jun looked at the White Night Bat in front of him. "Then who are the Apostles?"

When this question was raised, a hint of arrogance appeared on White Night Bat's face. "For decades, the only apostle in the Martial World has Long Hui, there has never been anyone else!"

Long Hui, it really is him! The guy who almost wiped out Medicine King Valley back then!

"You all agreed to come to this mission together? What about Long Hui? Did he come too?" Luo Jun continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, White Night Bat frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "He didn't come."

"You're lying!" Luo Jun grabbed another of his ribs, but this time he didn't remove it directly; instead, he gently pulled it outwards.

The pain of being cut with a dull knife was a hundred times more intense than before, both mentally and physically. The White Night Bat finally couldn't endure the torment any longer. "He's here... and on this mission too!"

Excellent! Luo Jun really wanted to kill Long Hui himself... not for revenge or anything like that. Long Hui hadn't really done him any harm last time, and had even given him a big gift. What Luo Jun really cared about was Long Hui's points!

It's important to know that Long Hui is a true Peak Expert, and at the very top level! Although his revival failed back then, his power as a half-finished product was already enough to crush Heart Refining Realm expert like Tie Jingang. Now, two months have passed, and Luo Jun doesn't know to what extent Long Hui has recovered, but even if he hasn't returned to his Peak, he should be far stronger than an average Heart Refining Realm!

One Poison Blood Gu King already has over 400 points, so shouldn't Long Hui have at least 500?

"Where is Long Hui?" Luo Jun asked impatiently. Seeing that the White Night Bat hesitated again, he pinched the rib with his fingertips, breaking a piece. The bat shuddered in pain and finally gave up resisting...

"He... is at Sanjiang Middle School..."

Sanjiang Middle School?

Luo Jun was stunned. Hadn't he already been there during the day and killed the Poison Blood Gu King? How Long Hui was there too?

"Impossible!" Luo Jun frowned. "You're lying to me! I used my abilities to investigate back then, and the highest-scoring Polluter in the school was the Poison Blood Gu King. Long Hui couldn't possibly be there!"

"It's true!" White Night Bat felt the pressure on his ribs increase and hurriedly explained, "The Poison Blood Gu King is the Lord Apostle's protector. The two have a pair of treasures and will enter the same Chaos Mission at the same time. Moreover, they will stay together after entering... Since the Poison Blood Gu King is at Sanjiang Middle School, then the Lord Apostle must be there too... At least he would be there when entering the world, but it's uncertain now."

Long Hui there too?

When White Night Bat answered, Luo Jun secretly used the dice to confirm that he was telling the truth...

If that's the case, why was the highest-scoring enemy he detected the Poison Blood Gu King? Could it be that Long Hui had already left the school by then?

No... they only appeared in the same place because they used their Noble Phantasms, so there's no reason for them to separate again. One left and the other stayed, so the only explanation is...

Luo Jun looked at the White Night Bat: "The Last One question. Answer honestly and you'll be free; otherwise..."

As he spoke, Luo Jun reached into the Hundred Treasure Box and took out a vial of medicine. "You recognize what this is, right?"

The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.

"Pain Amplification Potion?"

The White Night Bat trembled violently. This potion was just an Common-level magic weapon, but its effects were extremely cruel. After injection, it greatly increased a person's sensitivity to pain and also had a protective effect on the nerves. No matter how much pain one endured, one would not faint or go into shock... It could be said to be the most powerful magic Law Treasure for torture and forced confessions!

"I'll talk... I'll talk!" White Night Bat cried, tears streaming down his face. "I'll tell you everything, please, just give me a quick death..."

Luo Jun smiled slightly and asked, "What does Long Hui look like now? How is he in condition?"

The White Night Bat was taken aback, not expecting this last question, "You haven't seen the Lord Apostle?"

"Are you asking me or am I asking you?" Luo Jun glared at him. "Answer honestly!"

"Alright, alright..." White Night Bat hurriedly replied, "The Lord Apostle... his Rebirth Plan in the [Martial World] went awry. His physical recovery was interrupted when it was only halfway complete... Although he has recovered somewhat after this period of recuperation, he still looks like a teenager..."
