Episode 10 Chapter 9

Zhang Xin handed the assassin's confession to Tang Yin, who was also shocked after reading it. The assassin was actually instructed by Jiqiao Villa, but looking at Xia Jie's words and deeds, he didn't seem to have a guilty conscience!

Tang Yin was skeptical about the confession and decided to go to Anjian in person to find out what was going on.

In fact, it would be easy for Tang Yin to get the truth from the assassin. He only needed to burn the soul of the dark fire, but the assassin would not be able to survive and would no longer have any value to be used.

Accompanied by Zhang Xin, Tang Yin came to Anjian's old nest, Anzhai. There was no change here, it was still quiet, deserted and gloomy.

In the dungeon of Anzhai, Tang Yin met Qiu Zhen and Cheng Jin.

At this time, the Anjian personnel were torturing the two assassins, but no matter what kind of torture the Anjian personnel used, the two assassins insisted that they were assigned by Jiqiao Villa.

The assassin was stubborn, which made Cheng Jin, who was known for his iron fist, feel helpless. At this time, Tang Yin arrived, and Qiu Zhen and Cheng Jin hurried forward to salute. Tang Yin waved his hand slightly and asked, "How is the interrogation going? Has the assassin's confession changed?"

Cheng Jin looked at Qiu Zhen, shook his head slowly, and said, "My lord, the assassin has always claimed that he was instructed by Jiqiao Villa. From my subordinates' point of view, this matter should be..." Now Cheng Jin also believed that the assassin should be sent by Jiqiao Villa, but Qiu Zhen never agreed. Now Qiu Zhen was present again, so he couldn't say it too bluntly.

Zhang Xin continued, "Your Majesty, we have used all the tortures we can use, but the assassin's confession has not changed, which means that the confession is true. Your Majesty should quickly order the encirclement and suppression of Jiqiao Villa, otherwise, the night is long and dreams are many, and there is no stopping what kind of chaos will happen!"

Tang Yin did not comment, with his hands behind his back, and said to Cheng Jin: "Take me to see the assassin."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Cheng Jin responded, leading the way, and led Tang Yin to the depths of the dungeon.

The dungeon was damp and dark, and the air was filled with a strong stench and blood. When he walked to the two interrogation rooms at the innermost end, Cheng Jin stopped, turned around and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the assassin is inside."

"Yes!" Tang Yin looked up and walked into the interrogation room closer to him. Because it was underground, the space of the interrogation room was not large, but the sound insulation was very good, even if there were two adjacent interrogation rooms, they would not hear each other's voices.

In the center of the interrogation room, there stood a thick wooden stake. A half-naked man in shorts was tied to it. A closer look revealed that there was no intact spot on his body. He was covered with whip wounds, branding wounds, stab wounds and even cuts. His head was drooping, his hair was disheveled, and he was motionless. It was unknown whether he was awake or unconscious.

All around the interrogation room, there were various torture instruments, of strange shapes, most of which were never seen or heard of. Some of them were stained with dark brown blood. If a timid person was brought in, he would be frightened and confess without being tortured. On the left and right of the wooden stake, there stood several secret arrows. They were sweating and sweating. It was obvious that the torturers had also spent a lot of energy.

"My king!" The secret arrows basically knew Tang Yin. Seeing that the king had come, they knelt down and saluted.

Hearing everyone calling the king, the assassin tied to the wooden stake was obviously shaken, but he did not raise his head in the end, and his head was still drooping half-dead.

Tang Yin motioned everyone to stand up, then walked up to the assassin, looked him up and down, and asked, "Tell me again, who ordered you?"

"Ji...qiao...shan...zhuang..." the big man murmured in a hoarse, weak voice.

"Humph!" Tang Yin sneered and said, "Your companion has confessed everything, but you are still stubborn and will only suffer for yourself."

"It's...it's Ji...qiao...shan...zhuang..." The big man continued to repeat these words as if he didn't hear Tang Yin's words.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and stepped back slightly.

The hidden arrows on the left and right looked at each other, and then stepped forward together. One of them held a sharp-nosed pliers, clamped the big man's thumb nail, and pulled it down viciously.

"Ah——" The big man screamed heartbreakingly, his body twitched violently for a few times, and there was no movement.

Knowing that he had fainted, another assassin brought cold water and poured it on the man's head. The assassin woke up faintly and said intermittently: "Yes... yes, Jiqiao... Villa..."

Tang Yin turned his eyes and looked at the man's fingers. Among the ten fingers, six or seven were bloody, and the nails had been pulled out by the assassin.

Ten fingers are connected to the heart. Despite such torture, the assassin still insisted that he was instructed by Jiqiao Villa. If this was a lie, then the assassin's willpower was so strong that it was terrifying.

He pondered for a moment, turned around and walked out. Cheng Jin immediately followed him out and whispered, "My king, you see..."

"Is the other assassin like him?"

"Yes."

"Isn't there another seriously injured assassin?"

Cheng Jin was stunned at first, then hurriedly said, "I will send someone to interrogate him."

"No need." Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Just take me to see him."

"Yes!" The seriously injured assassin was also here at Anjian, but the man's injuries were too serious. Until now, he was in critical condition and half-conscious. Cheng Jin really couldn't understand why the king would go to see him.

Cheng Jin led Tang Yin out of the dungeon and into the backyard of Anjian.

It was late at night, and there were no lights here. It was so dark that it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Even Tang Yin, who had night eyes and was surprisingly bold, felt a cold feeling.

Cheng Jin stood in front of a side room and whispered: "Your Majesty, the assassin is in this room."

There were no guards outside this side room, and it looked no different from other houses. However, Tang Yin could sense that there were a large number of dark spiritual cultivators hidden in the dark corners around the side room.

Tang Yin pushed the door open and entered, followed by Qiu Zhen, Zhang Xin and Cheng Jin. Tang Yin waved his hand without looking back and said, "As long as Cheng Jin stays with me, Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin, you two are outside the room." wait for me."

Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin both had doubts on their faces, but they could not disobey the king's orders, so they still stood outside the door in a dignified manner.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin walked into the room. As soon as they entered, their nostrils were filled with the strong smell of medicine. Tang Yin secretly frowned, raised his hands, covered his nose with his sleeves, and walked to the bed.

He lowered his head and looked at the bed. He saw a big man lying flat on the bed with thick bandages wrapped around his body.

"Your Majesty, this thief is seriously injured. It will take a lot of effort to wake him up."

"There's no need to wake him up." Tang Yin chuckled softly and said, "Let him be a confused ghost and go to see the King of Hell!" As he spoke, Tang Yin raised his hand, and a strange black fireball appeared in his palm. Burning, beating.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jin immediately understood Tang Yin's intention. The king wanted to use the fire of darkness to consume the assassin.

The fire of darkness is too vicious. This is not on the battlefield. Tang Yin does not want his ministers to see him using the fire of darkness to suck an unconscious person. This is why he left Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin outside the room. The main reason is that as for Cheng Jin, he is a dark spiritual cultivator, so it doesn't matter if he can't see it.

Tang Yin turned his wrist, pointed it at the assassin's forehead, and pressed it down with his palm. In an instant, the fire of darkness burned all over the assassin's body. He didn't make any screams, and there were no wounds on his body. However, the assassin was already dying, and there was no trace of it. White aura floated out of him. Tang Yin inhaled and sucked all the spiritual mist into his body. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated, searching for valuable clues to himself from the assassin's memory.

In the assassin's memory, the information Tang Yin found surprised him.

This assassin was not a Feng person, but a Ning person, and was a former ranger from the Ning Kingdom.

Since Ningguo was annexed by Feng and Mo, a large number of Ningguo rangers who were unwilling to let Ningguo fall established two secret organizations, one targeting Mo and the other targeting Feng. The organization targeting Feng was named Against the Wind Flow, and this assassin is a member of the Against the Wind Flow.

In the past, when Fengguo and Ningguo were at war, the Ningguo rangers also organized themselves to join forces to deal with Fengguo. However, the Ningguo rangers who gathered together at that time could not be called an organization. Most of them fought independently. But now this one has appeared. Nifengliu is different. It is a secret organization with strict discipline, strict hierarchy, and extremely systematic.

In the memory of this assassin, Tang Yin could confirm that he was a member of Nifengliu, but he could not find any memory about his superior or other associates. His superior controlled him to do things through letters, and sent the letters in advance. Put it in a hidden place, and then he would pick it up and act according to the contents of the letter.

These assassins, who had never even met before, gathered together temporarily after receiving the same order and lurked in the woods between Jiqiao Villa and Yancheng. Their goal was very clear, which was to kill Xuanwang. As for why they wanted to He didn't know anything about killing Xuanwang, but the letter clearly mentioned that if he was captured, he would definitely be assigned by Jiqiao Villa.

Through the assassin's memory, Tang Yin only got two pieces of useful information. One was that he knew about the organization Nifengliu, and the other was that the other party's purpose was to kill Xuanwang and also to blame Jiqiao Villa. In addition, Tang Yin could also feel the assassin's unforgettable hatred for Feng Guo and his strong hope for revenge for the country.

The power of hatred and belief can make people extremely powerful, even when they are tortured, they can still resist death.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yin slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Cheng Jin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, this assassin..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Zhang Xin's guess may not be accurate, but he is right about one thing. The assassination of Lord Xuan is very complicated..."
