Interrogation

Li Ye removed the Shapeshifter Mask, revealing a face that was equally young and Handsome, but completely different.

Wei Bo's mind buzzed, and the expression on his face instantly became wonderful.

"It's you?"

He shouted, a monstrous wave surging in his heart, staggering staggering backwards.

How could it be this person.

He shouldn't have...

Li Ye said expressionlessly, "Hmm, it seems you know my identity."

Wei Bo's face was covered in shock.

Of course I know your identity.

You are the Divine Concealment Sect's discarded Holy Son.

And now the Corpse Burner Li Ye.

"Holy Son Li Ye, you shouldn't have already..."

Wei Bo spoke.

Li Ye sneered, "Should have what."

"Should have been discarded and dying, right? It's a regret, I've disappointed you."

How is this possible, he wasn't poisoned?

But he clearly became a cripple after being poisoned and his cultivation flowed away, and was finally banished to the Corpse Refining Courtyard.

How could he appear before him as if nothing had happened now.

Unless...

Unless he had sensed something from the beginning and played along.

Just to find the few people who poisoned him.

The Divine Concealment Sect should also be cooperating.

Yes, it must be like this.

Wei Bo instantly confirmed his guess, his entire face turning ashen.

Because his superior had said that it was a newly developed chronic poison, incurable in the entire world.

As long as it hits, there will be no second outcome.

Hahaha!

Wei Bo laughed heartily, a tragic expression appearing on his face: "It is also an honor to die by your hand."

"Please make your move."

He had no intention of resisting, and directly closed his eyes, awaiting Li Ye's judgment.

Firstly, his beloved son was in front of him, and the other party could end his son's life with a single thought.

Secondly, standing before him was that radiant, unparalleled swordsman, the Object Manipulation Realm Great Perfection, the Southern Region's number one prodigy, the Divine Concealment Sect Holy Son—Li Ye.

In front of this legendary existence, Wei Bo had no choice but to surrender.

Li Ye did not know Wei Bo's inner thoughts, thinking this fellow was quite sensible. He said coldly: "You want to die? Fine!"

"First, answer my question, why did you poison me?"

Wei Bo opened his eyes and sighed: "This humble one does not know, I was merely following orders."

Li Ye snorted coldly:

"Whose orders?"

"My superior."

"Who is your superior?"

Wei Bo's face was filled with conflicted emotions: "...Could you ask a different question?"

"If I answer, it would be equivalent to betrayal."

"And the Imperial Guards' method of dealing with traitors is... extermination of the clan."

Wei Bo said with a pleading tone.

It was not hard to see that this man was truly at his wit's end.

But, being at his wit's end could ruin the life of a genius, causing him to perish in frustration?

Being at his wit's end could justify poisoning me?

Why should others bear the burden of your desperation?

Li Ye felt no sympathy for Wei Bo. Since he chose to join the Imperial Guards and chose to risk his life for them, he should have been mentally prepared for the consequences:

"Are you trying to gain my sympathy?"

"You want me to show leniency?"

"When you poisoned me, why didn't you show me leniency? Don't try that trick with me."

"Believe it or not, This Seat will destroy your clan right now."

After listening, Wei Bo fell into unprecedented despair, his expression gradually becoming pained.

As a member of the Imperial Guards, he truly lacked the courage to betray the organization.

But if he didn't betray the organization, his wife, children, and himself would not survive today.

What to do, what to do.

Wei Bo was very clear about his predicament; there was no second choice.

He... compromised.

"His name is Red Fox."

"Where is Red Fox?"

"I don't know. I know very little information about him. Every time we met, he was masked. I've only seen his true face once."

"Is that so? Then how do you contact each other?"

"He always finds me."

"Is there a fixed time?"

"No. Sometimes he finds me once every one or two months, sometimes he won't find me for several years."

"When did he last find you?"

"Last night."

"The time before that?"

"...The night before last."

"Red Fox's cultivation?"

"Object Manipulation Realm First Layer!"

"More than half a year ago, was that also you who poisoned?"

"No."

"Who was it?"

"I did not know."

"Did not know? Good, I will ask you again. Besides you and Red Fox, are there any other Imperial Guards in Licheng City?"

"No... no more."

"Do you want your son to go on the road with you? You don't understand, do you? Fine, I'll give you a reminder, Fan Chunfang!"

"What, you..."

Wei Bo looked towards Li Ye in shock, then met Li Ye's incredibly sharp gaze.

That gaze seemed to pierce through one's heart, making Wei Bo's scalp tingle, feeling as if all his thoughts were exposed.

Wei Bo gave a wry smile: "There really are no more this time."

"We Imperial Guards have always communicated on a single line. Besides our own superiors and subordinates, it's impossible to know about the existence of other colleagues."

"Please believe this."

"I truly did not know the identity of the person who poisoned half a year ago."

Li Ye observed the changes in his expression, feeling that the other party did not seem to be lying.

This also aligned with the rules of undercover agents that Li Ye had seen in movies in his previous life.

"Good, I believe you."

Li Ye said.

Wei Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is that poison called?"

"Did not know."

"Where is the poison?"

"Gone."

"Kill yourself."

Wei Bo died.

He killed himself with an Imperial Guards' Spring Embroidered Saber.

He died in front of his son's cradle.

The little one in the cradle wailed loudly.

After Li Ye left the Wei residence, he didn't go to the Golden Juice Beef House to deal with the Boss Lady.

He returned directly to the Corpse Refining Courtyard.

"Wei Bo is under my control and will answer anything I ask."

"If he doesn't know something, Fan Chunfang certainly won't know it."

"It's better to keep her alive."

"Firstly, to confuse Red Fox, so he doesn't know Wei Bo died in my hands due to his poisoning being exposed. Secondly, to wait for Red Fox to send a new Imperial Guard to replace Wei Bo and become the Boss Lady's Superior."

"At that time, I will design a plan to use these two to lure out Red Fox and expose the Mastermind."

Li Ye thought.

In his opinion, Red Fox was likely not the Mastermind.

Because his status was too low, he wasn't qualified.

The one who truly wanted to kill him and the Holy Son should be someone else.

Li Ye could use 'Daily Divination' to deduce Red Fox's location, but the other party was likely very far from Licheng City.

If Red Fox happened to be in the Capital City, it would be difficult for Li Ye to make a move.

Furthermore, Li Ye was not Red Fox's match right now.

Therefore, he chose to spare the Boss Lady's life for future use.

"Tomorrow night, I'll first divine Red Fox's origins."

"However, Red Fox's status is too low. Even if I catch him, it might not necessarily yield any harvest."

Thinking of this, Li Ye flipped his palm, and a crystal-clear jade talisman appeared in his palm.

It was the Communication Talisman given to him by Flower Demon.

Chii!

The next moment, Li Ye formed a sword finger, and wisps of Electric Arc shot from his fingertip, carving characters onto the Communication Talisman.

A magical scene appeared.

The Communication Talisman, upon contact with Li Ye's power, was not destroyed or scratched. Instead, it rippled with a faint wave.

As Li Ye's finger force touched the ripple, characters formed upon it.

A total of four characters— "Something, come quickly!"

These four characters instantly flowed into the jade talisman, disappearing.

Shortly after, the Communication Talisman lit up, displaying a line of text.

It was Flower Demon's reply.

"Hmph, are you summoning this seat to come and go as you please? You are too presumptuous, Li Bai!"

"Cooperation canceled."

"Brother Li, little sister was wrong, coming right away. But... in the middle of the night, you... what do you want to do? Scared!"
