"Speaking of which, it's been two days since Master Taibai joined the Hehuan Sect. Why hasn't the Hehuan Sect encountered any calamities?"

Gazing at the Xianghan Mansion's second largest brothel, which was being emptied one after another, Su Yuan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he stared at his bright red official robes and pointed at himself with some disbelief:

"Wait... Could the calamity of the Hehuan Sect have originated from me?"

"This isn't right!"

Upon considering this possibility, Su Yuan was speechless for a moment.

He has so little power. Clearing out the Hehuan Sect's few visible strongholds and capturing one or two Heavenly Desire Envoys is nothing compared to the Yansha Sect's threat of annihilation.
Could it be that the effect of Teacher Taibai's Qi Black Hole Physique has decreased?

Or is it that someone else brought calamity upon the Hehuan Sect?

After pondering for a long time, Su Yuan still couldn't come up with a solution, so he decided to wait two more days to see how things went.

Hopefully, Teacher Taibai can step up his game.

With the two major brothels emptied and their assets divided, the remaining brothels, large and small, in Xianghan Mansion had all fled at the first sign of trouble, making further searches pointless.

It was getting late, so Su Yuan got into his car and headed towards the luxurious mansion that Prefect Han had prepared for him.

Inside the carriage, besides Su Yuan himself, was the Heavenly Desire Envoy, whose cultivation had been sealed and who was bound in a very artistic way.

At this moment, the Heavenly Messenger was sitting opposite Su Yuan, his hands bound to the back of the chair and unable to break free. He could only stare at Su Yuan with hateful eyes.

"What's your name?"

Su Yuan glanced at the other woman's beautiful face and asked.

The Heavenly Envoy snorted coldly:
"I am Wei Youzhu, and I will not change my name or surname! You can kill me or torture me, I will not even flinch."

Su Yuan's lips curled up slightly:

"Very good, I like girls with backbone like you."

"I have a question for you. I've heard that your sect leader has some unknown relationship with the governor of this world. Do you know anything about this?"

Whether it's Taibai Baiji conquering the Cold Plum World or Su Yuan being promoted, the biggest challenge lies in how to win over the governor of the Cold Plum World.

However, you don't necessarily have to use force to get rid of someone. As long as you have enough evidence, you can also get them dismissed.

Once the other side is driven out, half of the Cold Plum World will fall into the hands of the master and disciple.

But taking down a governor-general of the third rank is no easy task. Mei Qingquan made many secret efforts over the years, but he still failed to obtain enough evidence to bring down the other party.

A truly substantial testimony would require at least the presence of a demonic sect leader of the Hehuan Sect's caliber, who would personally appear in court to testify and hand over evidence of their communication with the governor of the Hanmei World.

Starting the interrogation of his subordinates is a good starting point.

Upon hearing Su Yuan's question, Wei Youzhu answered without hesitation:

"You want me to betray the sect leader? No way! You corrupt official, just wait and see, you'll definitely come to a bad end!"

Su Yuan shook his head and said:
"Look at you, why do you insist on refusing to listen to reason and instead choosing to suffer the consequences? Just answer my questions obediently."

"If you insist on resisting, I'll just have to let you experience some of my methods. In the end, you'll still have to obediently tell me everything, won't you?"

"This way, I'll be unhappy, and you'll be ruined. What's the point?"

Upon hearing this, an overwhelming sense of fear welled up in Wei Youzhu's heart, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

It seemed that something terrible was waiting for him ahead.

Just as the young woman, who looked to be only in her early twenties, was trembling, the carriage stopped.

A guard pulled back the carriage curtain and respectfully helped Su Yuan down from the carriage, and also escorted Wei Youzhu down.

After escorting the two to the front yard, the guards and drivers respectfully left, not daring to disturb them.

More than 170 women were housed in the front yard and were being looked after by Mortis.

In a pavilion in the center of the courtyard, Chen Nuoyi held a cup of hot tea and calmly watched Su Yuan return.

For some reason, Su Yuan felt a little guilty and quickly said:
"Noyi, let me explain..."

"No need to explain, we're just protecting these poor souls while dealing with the Hehuan Sect. I understand."

Chen Nuoyi smiled and spoke, then glanced at Wei Youzhu:
"So, did you manage to extract any valuable information from this high-ranking member of the Hehuan Sect?"

Su Yuan glanced at the panicked Wei Youzhu beside him and sighed:
"That Sect Master Ruan is quite charismatic. This Wei fellow, the Heavenly Desire Envoy, would rather die than reveal his own sect master."

"Oh? That's certainly loyal, but with your abilities, Su Yuan, even if she's not afraid of death, you have plenty of ways to get her to talk."

The blue-haired girl took a sip of tea and casually uttered a dangerous statement.

Perhaps due to spending too much time with Su Yuan, this once pure and innocent heiress has gradually developed a cunning and ruthless side.

Su Yuan: "Would you like to come and observe the interrogation process?"

Chen Nuoyi: "Okay."

Wei Youzhu: "..." No, what are you two crazy people talking about?

Could you please stop judging my fate like you're dealing with merchandise?

And clearly, her inner protests were meaningless.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Youzhu suddenly found that her environment had changed drastically.

A strange world, oppressive, deathly silent, filled with blood and decay, and with rolling black mud beneath her feet, suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Inside the Moon Tribulation Space, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi stood in the same row, their deep gazes fixed on Wei Youzhu.

Su Yuan: "Miss Wei, you have one last chance to choose whether to speak or not."

Wei Youzhu: "...I, I won't say..."

Although he refused again, the messenger's tone was no longer as firm as before, but instead filled with fear and trembling.

The moment she finished speaking, Su Yuan casually raised a finger.

The next instant, Wei Youzhu's body, which was suspended in mid-air, fell uncontrollably until her toes touched the black mud.

The moment it came into contact with the latter, the black mud seemed to come alive and began to wriggle rapidly.

Immediately, to Wei Youzhu's astonishment, slippery, scarlet tentacles suddenly emerged from the black mud, surrounding her completely.

The tips of one tentacle after another grazed Wei Youzhu's fair face, leaving behind a slightly sticky liquid.

"No...don't touch me!"

Wei Youzhu tried to turn her head away to avoid the tentacles, but with Su Yuan holding her firmly in place, it was clearly a futile effort.

At this moment, this high-ranking member of the Hehuan Sect, who was sitting in the top thirteen seats, was filled with despair and indignation!
Why is this corrupt official so skilled at using tentacles?!
They should be the experts in this field, right?
But after witnessing the corrupt official's methods, Wei Youzhu helplessly realized that their Hehuan Sect's core technology was like that of a greenhorn in front of Su Yuan.

"Hehe, someone like you won't have an easy time being dragged into the mud."

"Once you are corrupted by the black mud, no matter how strong your will is, it will be rooted in my subconscious commands. At that time, no matter what secrets you are hiding, you will willingly and obediently reveal them to me."

Su Yuan's voice carried a strong seductive quality, causing Wei Youzhu's heart to waver continuously.

Finally, just as tentacles wrapped around her body, about to drag her into the black mud, she spoke:

"I...I'll talk, I'll talk, okay..."

"Please, Lord Su, please don't harm those sisters you captured! They know nothing, they are innocent!"

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Wow, so even members of the Demonic Cult have a loyal and righteous side?

He said calmly:

"Tell me all the information you know, and I will decide whether to grant your request based on your answer."

Wei Youzhu's eyes held a faint sense of death as she weakly said:
"I never expected that our Hehuan Sect's plan was so secretive, yet that Governor Nan still discovered it immediately and sent you, his lackey, to conduct a massive manhunt for our Hehuan Sect's high-ranking members."

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi: "???"

The two exchanged a silent glance, noticing the confusion in each other's eyes.

what's the situation?
They came to cause trouble for the Hehuan Sect because they wanted to bring down the Governor of the Cold Plum World. How did they suddenly become the Governor's lackeys?
So the Hehuan Sect had a grudge against that governor?
Was Mei Qingquan's intelligence incorrect?
Confused, the two continued listening.

Wei Youzhu lowered her head and said slowly:
"But since things have come to this point, there's no harm in telling you the inside story."

"Master has been driven to a dead end by that person, especially after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The only option now is to launch an assassination attempt against Governor-General Nan."

"Even if we can't kill him in one fell swoop, but only severely injure him, we can still find a way to survive."

"Assassination?"

Su Yuan frowned:

"Ruan Pingcui has only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. What qualifications does she have to assassinate a seasoned Nascent Soul expert who has grown up in the Immortal Official system?"

Wei Youzhu: "My master naturally has strong support, so you don't need to worry about it."

"The reason I dare to tell you such a big thing is very simple: if everything goes smoothly, that Governor-General of the South should have already fallen into the trap."

"Yanhe, who possesses information about another world, is a bait that can easily lure him into a trap."

Su Yuan listened quietly to Wei Youzhu's words and then came to a conclusion.

His teacher's tendency to attract negative attention did not apply to him.

What truly brought disaster upon the Hehuan Sect was this meticulously planned assassination.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the assassination attempt is highly likely to fail and will result in severe damage to Ruan Pingcui and her accomplice.

Unless... unless their own teacher intervenes.

Sword cultivators are known for their extreme offensive power, and defeating the strong with the weak is commonplace for them. If he could lend a hand, the Southern Governor might actually perish in this assassination attempt.

But then again, given my teacher's strange tendency to attract negativity, wouldn't helping him backfire?
