So that was the girl's name? When Su Jiu had encountered her, however, she probably had not been on the run for long. At the very least, the Water Moon School disciples had not discovered her yet.
But Hu Zheng was not a cultivator who had emerged from the Trial Grounds? That differed somewhat from what Su Jiu had imagined.
Now, Su Jiu suddenly found herself hoping that the girl named Hu Zheng would wake up soon. She thought that once the girl awakened, many questions might finally have answers.
Su Jiu nodded. "You seize passersby here every night. Where exactly did you take them? And what is going on with the formation here?"
Su Jiu's voice was very mild, so mild that no change in her emotions could be detected. Yet the man still sensed the displeasure in her aura.
She had phrased it as a statement. In other words, she was already almost certain of what they had done. But how had she found out?
The man lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before slowly looking up. "You really are no ordinary people. You can even sense the formation here.
"But I only know that a formation exists there. We don't know much beyond that.
"As for seizing people, we were merely following orders."
"After you seized them, did you throw them straight beneath the city wall?"
The male cultivator nodded.
Understanding dawned on Su Jiu. So the formation was indeed located beneath the city wall.
Su Jiu's gaze darkened slightly. His words made it clear: those people had never wandered into the formation by mistake. These Water Moon School disciples had forcibly dragged them there.
Su Jiu asked no more questions, but the male cultivator felt the temperature around him drop even further.
