You Must Not Disappoint Master and Senior's Expectations!

Just as Wang Huan was beginning to feel more at ease, the situation in the interrogation room changed once again.

Dan Ren seemed angry at Zhao Chaohe's "innocence." He stood up, walked up to Zhao Chaohe, and stared at him with a piercing gaze, as if he wanted to cut into Zhao Chaohe's heart.

"You think I can't do anything if you don't talk?" Dan Ren's voice was cold and cruel. "I have plenty of ways to make you talk."

After saying that, he took out a black pill from his robe and forced it into Zhao Chaohe's mouth.

Zhao Chaohe struggled to resist, but his hands were firmly bound by iron chains, and he could only let the pill slide down his throat.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a look of pain immediately appeared on Zhao Chaohe's face.

His body began to tremble violently, as if something was raging inside him.

His eyes began to bloodshot, his pupils dilated abnormally, and his eyeballs bulged.

"Ah!"

It immediately erupted in a painful howl.

"This is the Heart Devouring Pill, which I developed. Those who take it will suffer as if they have fallen into the eighteenth level of hell," Ye Jing said calmly.

"Master's elixirs are naturally unparalleled!" Wang Huan forced a smile, always feeling that his master was subtly criticizing him.

"Ahhh~"

Zhao Chaohe's screams trembled incessantly, and he foamed at the mouth, experiencing extreme pain!

Standing outside the interrogation room, Wang Huan felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Zhao Chaohe's heart-wrenching screams.

He knew the power of the Heart Devouring Pill; it was a pill personally developed by his master Ye Jing, and its power was extraordinary.

Zhao Chaohe's agonizing screams echoed down the corridor, sending chills down everyone's spine.

Wang Huan clenched his fists, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He worried that Zhao Chaohe might not be able to bear the immense pain and say something he shouldn't, and he was also afraid that he would be implicated.

He looked up at Ye Jing, only to see that his master's face was expressionless, as if all of this was within his expectations.

Wang Huan felt even more uneasy. He didn't know what his master would do next, nor how he should respond.

"How effective is this Heart Devouring Pill?" Ye Jing suddenly asked, breaking the surrounding silence.

Wang Huan was taken aback, then replied, "Master's elixirs are naturally unparalleled in the world; the power of this Heart Devouring Pill is evident." He tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but his heart was filled with unease.

"Do you think Zhao Chaohe can handle it?" Ye Jing asked again.

Wang Huan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know. Although Zhao Chaohe is on our side, he is, after all, a member of the Evil God's faction. I don't know if he's willing to endure such suffering to keep this secret."

Ye Jing nodded without saying a word.

He continued to watch the scene in the interrogation room, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while, the interrogation room finally returned to calm.

Zhao Chaohe had already fainted; his face was as pale as paper, and he looked as if he had just walked through hell.

Dan Ren came out of the interrogation room and reported the situation to Ye Jing.

Ye Jing nodded after hearing this, then turned to Wang Huan and said, "Come with me."

Wang Huan's heart tightened; he didn't know where his master was taking him. He could only follow closely behind Ye Jing, his heart filled with unease.

The two arrived at a secret room.

Ye Jing closed the door, then turned around to look at Wang Huan.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Ye Jing asked.

Wang Huan shook his head, not daring to look Ye Jing in the eye.

"I am aware of everything you did in the Central District," Ye Jing said slowly. "You trespassed into the Central District without permission and even had contact with the people of the Evil God. These actions violate the rules of our sect."

Wang Huan felt as if his heart had exploded.

I even forgot to breathe!

My blood even turned a few degrees colder!

He knew he had nowhere to run.

He could only lower his head and await his master's punishment.

However, to his surprise, Ye Jing did not punish him immediately.

Instead, he said to Wang Huan earnestly, "I know you did this because you have doubts and want to find the answers."

Wang Huan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Jing's serious and earnest face, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

It turns out that Master knew everything, including the conspiracy within Town Heaven Pass.

However, due to his status, he finds it difficult to take action.

"But you must remember that as people of the right path, we must uphold our beliefs and principles."

"The power of the Evil God is immense, but we must not lose ourselves because of it."

"Understood, Master!"

This was a subtle hint that he should continue the investigation!

"I know I was wrong," Wang Huan said sincerely. "I will remember your teachings and will never do anything against the rules again."

Ye Jing nodded and then said, "Alright, go back now. Remember my words: uphold the righteous path and do not be misled by the power of the Evil God."

Hearing his master's earnest teachings, Wang Huan felt both ashamed and grateful.

He bowed deeply and then slowly withdrew from the secret chamber.

Back in his cell, Wang Huan sat on the edge of the bed, his heart unable to find peace for a long time.

To this day, he still doesn't know what his master was thinking during this trip.

However, his identity should not have been discovered.

Given Master's personality, if he were to be corrupted, he certainly wouldn't show any mercy!

He glanced at the room next door, then immediately looked away.

He didn't want his master to know about his senior's affairs.

There must be a reason why the senior has stayed here.

He silently supported me and helped me investigate the truth; he must have been a person with a tragic fate as well.

Once the senior's identity is exposed, it might reveal the existence of those lurking in the shadows!

This harmed our predecessors!

Night deepened, and the cell was silent.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a faint presence coming from next door.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the cell next door.

That is where our predecessors were.

He quietly got up, walked to the wall, and whispered, "Senior, are you still awake?"

"Hmm." A deep, hoarse voice came from next door, "You're not asleep either."

"Senior, I..." Wang Huan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "There are many things I don't understand, and I don't know what to do."

"I know this is the first time you've experienced something like this, and you've even Evil God's Corruption." The elder's voice was warm as he slowly spoke, "Child, you've done very well. It's rare that you were able to uphold your beliefs and principles. Although the Evil God's power is indeed very strong, as long as we persevere, we have a chance."

"Senior, I've remembered what you said." Hope ignited in Wang Huan's heart. With his master, seniors, and so many people helping him, he was determined to find out the truth!

I will live up to the expectations of my mentor and seniors.

The senior smiled and nodded, then said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should get some rest."

Wang Huan returned to the bedside and lay down.

He closed his eyes, his heart filled with gratitude and reverence.

But next door, an old man leaned against the wall, and streaks of scarlet blood slowly seeped from his fingers, seeping through the wall!

It flowed into Wang Huan's body!
