Chapter 448: Chapter 274: The Old Witch Finally Meets Her Match! Who will come out on top? (5K Subscriptions Requested)_2
Young Hero Duan is not a soft-hearted person.
Although he verbally claims he does not kill, if he confirmed that this girl was evil, he would definitely kill her afterwards.
Heroes kill based on evidence.
Even if it breaches the principle of a hero’s word being as weighty as nine sacred tripods and tarnishes his lofty character, he would still do it.
Acting for Heaven, the act itself holds greater importance.
The ponytailed girl was silenced at the Dumb Acupoint and couldn’t speak, she could only blink her eyes.
It seemed as though she was willing to obey.
This should be the first genuine living person they had found on Yellow Jade Island since their arrival, so they eagerly wanted to make progress in unraveling the situation.
Thus, he pointed his finger and released her Dumb Acupoint, asking, "Who are you?"
The ponytailed girl answered anxiously, "I-I am Qi, the seventh disciple of Jade Guanyin."
"Do you know if Jade Guanyin has captured two women here recently?" Duan Yun asked.
Qi shook her head, "Master usually only captures handsome men to play with, not women."
"What about you?" Duan Yun continued.
"All of us sisters were adopted by her," Qi responded.
"What else does she do other than capturing handsome men for her base desires?" Duan Yun continued inquiring.
"When she tires of them, she lets us sisters have our way with them, and then turns them into living dead," Qi answered.
Hearing this reply, Duan Yun and his companions raised their eyebrows slightly.
These captured men really suffered; not only at the hands of the master but also the disciples...
Thinking of this, Duan Yun was moved to kill.
This girl looked pitiable, but she was also an accomplice.
Qi suddenly realized, and said, "I didn’t do it."
"Why should we believe you?" Shen Ying countered.
"Master said I am young, not suited for such acts, and asked me to watch and familiarize first, and later, when I master the Cultivation Technique, then I can participate."
"Really, I really only watched every time."
Duan Yun looked at her, not seeming to lie.
He originally planned to use the Beiming Divine Skill to chillingly probe for the truth, but this Cultivation Technique had significant side effects, likely causing the other party to scream ’I want to be a hero!’.
Yes, even if the opponent’s Dumb Acupoint was sealed or their vocal cords destroyed, they would still make noise.
After all, he had tested it on dead bodies before; even a corpse with its neck severed, just a head remaining, would shout, and wicked creatures like centipedes also confirmed this.
He even suspected that his Heroic Spirit automatically generates a ’I want to be a hero!’ sound wave, so that even if the other has no throat or mouth and has breathed their last, they could still "shout" it.
There’s no end to the martial paths, this is the only relatively scientific explanation he could think of.
Alas, no choice, he speaks scientifically, he demands that Extraordinary Wisdom also speaks scientifically, but Heroic Spirit does not adhere to science.
If this girl suddenly shouts ’I want to be a hero!’, it would be like loudly announcing to Jade Guanyin that they have arrived with drums and gongs.
That would not be them stealthily attacking Jade Guanyin from behind, but Jade Guanyin ambushing them instead.
Thus, Duan Yun with a dark-hearted uncle-like demeanor, stated, "Lead us to where your master detains people, any trickery and you will surely die!"
The ponytailed girl quickly shook her head, "Don’t kill me. I watched so much, never got to play, dying would be too pitiful."
Goodness, even at this time, she still thought of debauchery.
Yet, from this girl’s mouth, these words strangely gave off an innocent impression.
It can only be said that the environment shapes its inhabitants. Living on Jade Guanyin’s Yellow Jade Island, where debauchery leads, this seemingly ignorant girl has been poisoned and does not see debauchery as a sin.
Once the rotten matters were settled, he needed to capture Qi and rigorously test her true nature.
If true as she claims, if she did no evil deeds and only watched, then whether to sever her from her past or to let her reform completely would be decided then.
After all, merely watching isn’t considered too great a sin.
Young Hero Duan has always been quite tolerant.
"Master’s captives are detained at the immortal platform, I will lead you there soon, but wait until I light the candles, otherwise Master will be suspicious," Qi sincerely said.
"Okay."
Duan Yun clapped his hands, temporarily releasing two of her major acupoints, allowing her just enough ability to move.
Then, Qi went to light candles in the other rooms.
Her actions clearly proved Duan Yun’s conjecture.
This street was uninhabited, only used to pay homage to Guanyin.
Every room housed a Guanyin Statue.
After lighting the candle in the last room, Qi anxiously glanced at Duan Yun and the others, then nodded.
Duan Yun’s form drifted, sticking close behind her like a ghost, and in a ghost-like voice told Qi, "Lead the way, fail and your death will be miserable."
His demeanor indeed carried an aura of a vengeful ghost claiming a life.
If the situation were not urgent, Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying might even suspect him of taking advantage of the other.
Because they too were beauties, yet they acknowledged Qi’s beauty as well.
Such beauty at her young age; she would be unstoppable once grown.
Her main feature was her pair of peach blossom eyes, her entire presence innocent yet with a hint of allure, and her chest was not small either.
Logically speaking, she wasn’t fully mature yet, but her bust was already ample.
Feng Ling’er seriously doubted hers were larger, while Shen Ying felt she could rival her in the future.
However, what was most important now was the rescue mission; the ’even in death, we must compare’ rivalry between women was temporarily set aside.
...
At night, the lake surface was shrouded in a thin layer of water vapor.
The entire Yellow Jade Island was enveloped in mist, making it appear almost like a celestial realm.
Indeed, if not for the living dead and if there were more real people here, this would truly be a beautiful place.
