"It's you?"
Li Chengfeng quickly walked up and grabbed Shorty's hair, asking sternly, "Where did you see Xiaobao?!"
Shorty trembled, his face pale as he stuttered, "No, no, no, I don't know …"
Someone popped out from behind Li Chengfeng. It was the gangster with the pointy mouth and monkey cheeks. He pointed at Shorty. "Shorty, didn't you say it yourself?
You said you saw Xiaobao on the streets?
You said two gangsters were skinned by the man in the wheelchair, didn't you say that? "
Shorty was both angry and scared, glaring. "Rat Seven, how could you say that? I … when did I …"
Li Chengfeng had grown up on the streets, so he knew all too well what these thugs were like. He knew that it was ingrained in their bones to seek benefits and avoid harm. Usually, they were extremely self-conscious and prideful, so they would not be able to keep their mouths shut if they knew something. They had to say it out loud to be satisfied, but when they realized that it was dangerous, they would deny it.
Similarly, as long as they were tempted enough, they would take the risk. Humans die in pursuit of wealth, just as birds die in pursuit of food.
Li Chengfeng took out a silver ingot and waved it in front of Shorty, saying coldly, "Tell me the truth and you'll be rewarded. If you don't, die!"
Shorty shuddered, his eyes glued to the silver ingot. He gulped and struggled to look at Li Chengfeng. His mind seemed to be in a dilemma. Between the terrifying Zhenren Puppet and Li Jueye, he was faced with a difficult choice.
To offend that terrifying demon or to offend this powerful cultivator in front of him, this didn't seem to be a difficult choice to make.
Shorty struggled for a moment, then told Li Chengfeng and the rest what he had seen. Li Chengfeng stood rooted to the ground. Han Tianxing seemed to remember something and said fearfully, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid Zhenren Yun wants to capture Senior Xiaobao and use him against you!"
Both Li Chengfeng and Han Tianxing read the report. From it, they deduced that Master Yun's fighting style was most likely to be to capture his loved ones, turn them into puppets, and control the puppets to attack his enemies.
This method was simply despicable and vicious!
When Li Chengfeng first read the battle report, he was filled with disdain and disdain. But in the blink of an eye, the blame had fallen on him!
Who was Xiaobao?
Was that just his servant?
No, that was his brother. They were not related by blood, but they were closer than real brothers!
If he were to kill Little Bao, it would simply be like cutting off an arm of his!
He would never forgive himself in this lifetime!!
Li Chengfeng suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down. He nodded at Han Tianxing and shoved the silver into Shorty's arms. "Let's go. You've never seen us, you've never seen anything."
Shorty immediately hugged the silver tightly to his chest and rushed out the door without another glance at Li Chengfeng and the rest.
After Li Chengfeng sent the informant away, Han Tianxing said hatefully, "Senior Brother, why don't we ask the Fourth Prince for him?
This Reverend Yun was most likely sent by him! "
Before Li Chengfeng could speak, Liu Sumei immediately said, "Absolutely not!
Without any evidence, one must not act rashly!
He's a prince after all! "
Han Tianxing raged, "The one who ambushed you at the Beauty Restaurant was Reverend Hua, the one who ambushed us at night was called Reverend Yue, and we can be sure that the Fourth Prince sent Reverend Sword to deal with Senior Brother. Now this Reverend Yun, they're all in cahoots!"
Little Bell interjected, "Calm down, this lawsuit won't end well even if it goes to the Emperor!
The most important thing now is to find out where Xiaobao is being held. We can save him as soon as possible! "
Liu Sumei sighed. "Reverend Yun has been living in the Divine Capital for a long time, I'm afraid he's already prepared!
Plus, we're not the first to know that he's been using this tactic for a long time. Even so, no one has been able to do anything to him. He must have a way to deal with it.
Moreover, he hasn't failed until now. This means that he has either killed all of his enemies, or his defenses are impenetrable! "
Liu Sumei said with a rare serious expression, "No matter which it is, we cannot underestimate him!
We must be fully prepared before we act. Otherwise, if he escapes, we'll never be able to save Xiaobao. "
Han Tianxing said anxiously, "But tomorrow is the tournament. I've seen the schedule, there's an eighty percent chance that senior brother will be fighting Perfected Yun tomorrow. By then … I'm afraid Xiaobao will already be made into a puppet!"
Liu Sumei and Little Bell's expressions darkened, especially Little Bell. She felt very sad, as if she had lost something important.
Now that the pretty boy whom everyone wanted to bully was gone, she felt sad, as if there was a hole in her heart.
Little Bell bit her lip. "Why don't we ask the authorities for help?
They must have Reverend Yun's address. If we sneak in, we'll be able to find some clues. "
Little Bell suddenly clapped. "Ah, right, Li Chengfeng, can't you control insects, birds, and beasts?
You can use them to search around! "
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "I've placed a bug on both Xiaobao and Tianxing but I can't sense their presence anymore.
Plus, the Divine Capital is too big, I don't have the time to do a carpet search.
If I want to search the entire Divine Capital, it'll take at least ten days. Ten days will also use up a lot of my energy. "
Little Bell raged, "Are we just going to ignore him?"
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "No, our only chance now is to wait for tomorrow's arena battle!
If Reverend Yun captures Xiaobao to fight me, he better pray that he succeeds in making his puppet! "
Little Bell raged, "Are you crazy?
Do you know how terrifying it is to make a puppet?
Do you know that no one can survive the burning of their soul during the refinement of puppets?
Even a man made of iron would collapse in despair from this Soul Scorching! "
Li Chengfeng turned his head and glared at Little Bell. "I trust him, I trust Xiaobao!
He looks like a pretty, delicate man but I know that there's a ferocious tiger hiding in his heart!
He has a strong and unyielding heart, and his will is as strong as a mountain. Even the raging waves will not be able to break it! "
Li Chengfeng enunciated each word clearly, "The Li family of the Cleansing Moon Sect has no cowards!"
Little Bell was furious and wanted to say something else but Liu Sumei pulled her back. She patted Little Bell's arm, gesturing for her to stop. She came to Li Chengfeng's side and said in a low voice, "You're taking a risk. Don't underestimate Reverend Yun!"
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "No, you're all underestimating Xiaobao!
He grew up by my side. His intelligence, his bravery, and his determination are things that you have never seen before. I have seen it, I have seen it countless times.
He's saved me time and time again with his loyalty, intelligence and bravery. This time, he'll risk his life to save me, and I'll save him! "
Li Chengfeng said solemnly, "I'm not sure what steps are needed to create a mechanical puppet, but I can guess Reverend Yun's many tricks.
He just wants to take Xiaobao's soul, place it in the puppet, and force him to fight me. I'm not sure how powerful this puppet is but I know Xiaobao will never fight me when he's conscious. That's why Reverend Yun has to destroy Xiaobao's willpower.
"But no one in this world can destroy his willpower in one night!
Absolutely not! "
Li Chengfeng raised a finger. "He's been through the Universe Marrow Cleansing Pool!"
At this point, Han Tianxing was already convinced. He raised his head proudly, his expression indescribably excited and proud, his eyes filled with fervor and confidence.
It's him! The three of them had been through the Universe Marrow Cleansing Pool together. They had survived that hellish torture and pain!
How could Xiaobao fall here so easily?
Liu Sumei nodded. "Do you have a plan?"
"Yes!"
Little Bell could not help but say, "That's based on the fact that Xiaobao hasn't been conquered by the burning of his soul!"
Li Chengfeng did not speak but his gaze answered Little Bell. He will never give in!
