Chapter 169: Chapter 96: Demon Hunters Really Are Annoying, Twisted Luo Hongyuan

Lin Cheng looked disheveled, just like that, being stepped on by Wei Fan in the large pit.

Many Demon Suppression Guards were pouring out of the tunnel at the moment. But seeing Lin Cheng being controlled, they dared not make a move.

Long Xueyi stepped forward, "Intentionally hindering our investigation into Luo Hongyuan’s affairs, it seems his escape is linked to you!"

Lin Cheng replied coldly, "Stop slandering me. Speaking without evidence is futile!"

Long Xueyi sneered, "When have you ever seen the Demon Suppression Bureau needing solid evidence to act?"

As she spoke, she took out a silver Waist Token and infused it with True Power and Power of Heart and Spirit, sending out a message.

Lin Cheng’s expression changed immediately; it was clear that the identity of this unknown Demon Hunter was about to escalate matters to the higher-ups: "I advise you to think carefully before reporting."

Although they were in the wrong, taking action in the Great Prison wasn’t a trivial matter.

Bear in mind that he is the Deputy General in charge here, holding the highest authority. Taking action against him might lead to the escape of Demon Fiends from the prison—a consequence not easily borne.

Long Xueyi ignored Lin Cheng; she was undaunted by such consequences, being Long Jianying’s granddaughter. Even the Three Great Commanders had to show her respect.

She turned to the newly appeared Captain: "Tie them up."

The Captain shook his head, "The Demon Hunter Waist Token is on the same level as mine; it can’t command me."

The Captain dared not tie up the Deputy General.

Though they weren’t in cahoots, any action of tying up someone would be considered insubordination.

"Is that so? Then check if this Waist Token has the authority to command you!"

Long Xueyi slapped the silver gourd at her waist, and immediately a golden Waist Token appeared in her hand.

Seeing the Waist Token, the Captain’s expression changed dramatically: "Assistant General Waist Token?"

Underfoot, Lin Cheng’s expression finally changed at this moment.

The opponent carried the Assistant General’s Waist Token but hadn’t shown it until now, clearly intending to sort him out before revealing their identity.

It seems that the few scapegoats he captured hadn’t convinced the higher-ups of his innocence.

Long Xueyi shook the Waist Token in her hand, "Do you need to verify its authenticity?"

The Captain straightened his expression and saluted, "I wouldn’t dare!"

He then waved to the Demon Suppression Guards behind him, "Bring the manacles, tie them all up!"

Demon Suppression Guards returned from the tunnel, quickly fetching a pile of manacles and tying up the previous Demon Suppression Guards, the Captain, and Lin Cheng.

"Release me! I am the Deputy General in charge here. Tying me up—if something goes wrong in the Great Prison—who will bear this responsibility!"

Lin Cheng’s voice was hoarse, his eyes red.

Long Xueyi said impassively, "You don’t need to worry about the Great Prison; a new Deputy General will soon take over. Consider how you’ll explain Luo Hongyuan’s affair."

Lin Cheng’s expression changed. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Long Xueyi ignored him further; accompanied by the Captain, they pressed Lin Cheng and the others into the tunnel for a while, a relatively spacious hall appeared before them.

This hall was carved into the mountain’s belly, with glinting metallic iron doors on several sides. Behind those doors, the growls of Demon Fiends occasionally sounded.

"I am Cao Pei, is there anything else that the Lord commands?"

This Captain introduced himself as Cao Pei; Wei Fan hadn’t heard of him before, as he continued to scrutinize the Great Prison.

All those iron doors were made of Profound Iron—a door outside could easily sell for tens of thousands of silver.

As for the situation behind the iron doors, it was not visible, leaving him clueless.

Long Xueyi spoke upon hearing, "Lock them up, seal Lin Cheng’s scapula, leave the rest; a Deputy General will handle it later. Then take us to Luo Hongyuan’s cell; we need to collect his presence."

Cao Pei shook his head, "Luo Hongyuan’s presence has already been erased by Lord Lin; I’m afraid there’s nothing left for you to collect."

Long Xueyi’s expression changed, losing the presence made tracing Luo Hongyuan difficult.

No wonder he always blocked their entry; even if he wasn’t colluding with Luo Hongyuan, he probably was eyeing the Bodhi Fruit’s whereabouts.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn’t allow others to intervene.

Wei Fan strode forward, grabbing Lin Cheng’s hair: "Luo Hongyuan’s presence must have been collected by you, hand it over and spare yourself undue suffering."

Lin Cheng, in dire straits, replied defiantly, "Interrogation doesn’t apply to our people. Do you think I’m new here? Even if I make mistakes, they’re minor ones; who dares to interrogate me?"

Wei Fan shook his head, "Interrogation doesn’t apply to our people, but unfortunately, we Demon Hunters aren’t your people!"

He raised a finger, casually poking Lin Cheng’s body, immediately causing a burst of blood.

Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger!

Long Xueyi’s eyes widened; was this Martial Arts skill meant for interrogation?

"Hmph..."

Lin Cheng groaned, pain turning his face pale.

Wei Fan said impassively, "As the Deputy General entrusted with guarding, you deliberately released prisoners and erased their presence. You should realize the slim chance of continuing as one of our people; it’s only your Deputy General skin that’s intact, or your head would have been removed earlier.

Think carefully about handing it over; killing someone in battle may bring punishment, but it’s merely deducting some meritorious achievements—not a big issue.

Besides, you still want to rely on Luo Hongyuan’s presence to find him; do you think there’s still an opportunity for you to get out?"

While speaking, Wei Fan pointed again, this time not randomly, but directly at Lin Cheng’s Dantian.

Although he was a Body Refining Celestial Being, if such an important spot as his Dantian were damaged, his Qi Blood would slowly deplete, making future progress difficult.
