Chapter 105 Inquiry
Zheng Ai led the hungry children to the kitchen of this stronghold, where there was a lot of food.
Lin Zhen led the four martial arts masters to another cleaner room to ask for news.
Lin Zhen unceremoniously sat on the main seat in the room and stared at the four people. And these four long-famous martial arts masters, after seeing the scene of corpses everywhere in the stronghold, they all had red eyes on their foreheads.
Khan stood respectfully in the room, not daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, even without knowing, one can guess the identities of Lin Zhen and the woman in white.
These two young men turned out to be cultivators with incredible magical powers as rumored!
When faced with a cultivator with a certain level of strength, no matter how powerful a martial arts master is, one must honestly avoid it. This is because cultivators have already jumped out of the world of martial arts and even the secular world. They are people who have embarked on the long road of cultivating immortality.
.
To put it simply, the two...are no longer people in the same world.
There were sounds of surprise from children getting food and cries of being frightened by the dead bodies.
However, the room was quiet and the air became more solemn.
Lin Zhen just sat there, looking up and down at these celebrities, with no intention of speaking.
First up was the deputy gang leader of the 'Tieshan Gang' named He Gao, who was probably the oldest among the four. After he and the other three looked at each other, a smile appeared on his old face and he was respectful.
He said respectfully: "Thank you so much for your benefactor's rescue. I and several of my fellow Jianghu comrades are very grateful! As long as we return to the gang, we will definitely honor all the rewards we promised to our benefactor!"
The other three nodded in agreement and started singing praises with expressions of gratitude on their faces.
Facing this scene, Lin Zhen snorted from his nose.
The four of them immediately became alert and quickly closed their mouths.
Lin Zhen was not interested in the words of these 'human beings' at all. Moreover, it was difficult for Lin Zhen, a cultivator, to be moved by the gold and silver treasures in the secular world.
What's more, Lin Zhen brought a few guys here not to listen to their nonsense.
"Tell me why you were arrested and what happened to those children." Lin Zhen looked at these people indifferently and said.
"This..." He Gao couldn't help but ponder for a moment after hearing this. After looking at each other with the other three people, he cautiously said: "Benefactor, the whole story of this matter may be a long story. And the specific details are
, I don’t remember it very well, so if there are any mistakes, please forgive me.”
Lin Zhen frowned slightly.
Before the old guy could speak, he brushed off all the mistakes that might cause him displeasure. Moreover, there was a lot of nonsense.
"Tell me, the more details about the Blood Evil Alliance, the better." Lin Zhen said calmly.
He Gao, who was dressed in a brocade red robe, nodded to each other with the other three people, and then slowly said: "Benefactor, this bloody demon sect with heinous crimes and evils appeared three years ago. It is said that he was a disciple from heaven.
It was built by a strong man who came across the sea from the east of the South Road. He also had a huge amount of unknown wealth and the ability to refine all kinds of incredible secret medicines. Therefore, in a short period of time, he gained the merchants, officials and gentry of the southeastern coastal areas of Vietnam.
With their support, a demonic sect called the 'Blood Evil Alliance' was established."
"In the first year, the Blood Evil Alliance didn't have a good reputation. It just slowly annexed several small gangs nearby, so it didn't attract many people's attention. But..." He Gao licked the corner of his mouth, shook his head and sighed.
Said: "But in the second year, the Blood Evil Alliance refined a mysterious elixir from nowhere that can cure all diseases, called 'Blood Evil Pill'. It is said that it not only cures all diseases, but also prolongs life."
It had special effects, so it received the secret support of some members of the Yue Kingdom's royal family, and then it grew at an extremely fast speed, sweeping away most of the gangs north of Taicang Mountain in the Yue Kingdom in a short period of time."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly.
At this moment last year, when Lin Zhen was practicing in Taicang Mountain, he often went out to help the Golden Dragon Gang to resist the 'Blood Evil Alliance'.
At that time, the 'Blood Fiend Alliance''s offensive was indeed extremely sharp. Even someone as powerful as Lin Zhen almost got hit a few times.
Seeing Lin Zhen nod slightly, He Gao breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued speaking a little faster: "In just two years, half of the forces in the Yue Kingdom have been succumbed to the 'Blood Demon Sect'
It was dyed red. As the power of this demonic sect expanded, its behavior became more and more cruel. Not only did they start massacring a large number of cities, but they also forcibly levied a kind of "population tax" on the areas they controlled.
Abnormal tax laws.”
"Capital tax?" Lin Zhen frowned slightly.
He Gao shook his head and sighed, showing a look of deep pain and disgust, and explained: "The so-called 'capacity tax' requires the people under the rule to contribute a certain number of virgins to each region on the seventh day of July every year.
Virgins, to be driven by the 'Demon Cult'."
When Lin Zhen heard this, he immediately thought of the children who were in the dungeon just now. He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "This Blood Evil Alliance, what do they want with so many boys and girls?"
He Gao glanced at Lin Zhen carefully, then shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this matter."
But the beautiful woman in purple clothes beside him frowned slightly and said: "According to my guess, these boys and girls are probably used to refine their 'Demon Sect' secret medicine 'Blood Evil Pill'
The medicine is introduced.”
"Yaoyin?" Lin Zhen muttered to himself.
The beautiful woman in purple showed a malicious look and said: "Not only these boys and girls, but also a weak woman like me who is well versed in the internal energy, was also detained by them. It seems that what they need should be
Only the body of Yuanyang and Yuanyin has the right 'vital energy', otherwise the 'Blood Evil Pill' would not have such a miraculous effect."
At this moment, the red-robed old man He Gao suddenly coughed repeatedly, and stared at the beautiful woman in purple with a pointed look, and then said with a smile on his face: "My benefactor, a demon sect like the Blood Evil Alliance,
It’s weird in the first place, but it’s not necessarily done this way. After all, how can a person’s vitality be so easy to extract? If you are not careful, it may even affect yourself.”
"Okay." Lin Zhen glanced at the four people and said calmly: "What you guys said is of some use to Lin. Now Lin wants to ask you guys something. If you can answer it,
, you can leave here."
When these people heard this, they all showed a hint of joy on their faces and said continuously: "My benefactor, please tell me, we will definitely tell you everything you know!"
"Very good." Lin Zhen nodded slightly, then took out a scroll from his sleeve and opened it in front of the four of them.
But it is a portrait of a beauty in red.
Lin Zhen stared at the expressions of the four people, and then slowly said: "Lin wants to know, have any of you seen the woman in this portrait?"
The four people quickly stared at it. After a while, except for He Gao who showed a trace of thinking, the other three people all had blank faces.
He Gao said hesitantly: "This person seems familiar. Could it be Liu Zhen, the leader of the third gang of the 'Wild Dog Gang' in Qingyuan City?"
Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "It's Liu Zhen, have you seen her!?"
Seeing Lin Zhen asking such a question, He Gao couldn't help being slightly surprised, and then he honestly said: "I passed by Qingyuan City three years ago and saw this beauty in the casino, because she was in Taipei."
She is beautiful, so I still remember her clearly. But since that day, I have not seen this girl again."
When Lin Zhen heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at He Gao. It was not until he saw that the old man was sweating profusely that he said with a hint of disappointment: "Okay, Lin understands."
After saying this, Lin Zhen frowned and leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and began to think.
The four of them, He Gao, waited for a while, and after looking at each other for a long time, He Gao finally boldly said: "My benefactor, do you have anything else to ask?"
Lin Zhen waved his hand impatiently: "No, let's go."
The four of them, He Gao, felt as if they were receiving a general amnesty. They bowed and thanked them repeatedly, and then turned around and walked out of the room.
At this moment, Lin Zhen's low shout suddenly sounded in the room.
"Wait!"
The four of them suddenly stiffened, and then slowly walked back with ugly faces. He Gao forced a smile and said: "My benefactor, I wonder if you have any other instructions?"
Lin Zhen said calmly: "You guys should take those children away too. Lin has to rush to other Blood Evil Alliance strongholds, so he won't be able to relocate them."
When He Gao and others heard what had happened, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He Gao smiled like a chrysanthemum and said repeatedly: "No problem, no problem, this matter will be left to us!"
"
As he said this, he took the other three people with him and left this depressing room.
But at this moment, the youngest of the four, a young man in silver robe, said with some hesitation: "Benefactor, I am grateful for the great favor of saving my life, but there is one thing I still have to say."
He Gao's expression suddenly changed, but Lin Zhen said calmly: "Say."
The young man in silver robe said: "Benefactor, our gang has been basically razed to the ground by the Blood Evil Alliance. We can only hand over these children to the nearby government for processing. Safety cannot be completely guaranteed, and it is very likely that they will be destroyed by the Blood Evil Alliance again."
They were taken away by force. Therefore, if we really want to save these poor children, the only way is to completely eliminate the demon sect."
The implication is to win over Lin Zhen to join them in fighting against the behemoth of the Blood Fiend Alliance.
Hearing this, Lin Zhen frowned even more tightly and said, "It's just a matter of trying your best. You can go down."
Upon hearing this, He Gao thanked him, stretched out his hand to grab the silver-robed young man who wanted to say something, and walked out quickly.
