Ye Tianzheng shook his head when he heard Lin Juelong’s threat.
“How many times have you asked me already? I don’t know anything!”
“Since you’re asking about my father, you should know that he and my mother died suddenly back then! How could he have the time to tell me anything or give me anything? I advise you not to waste your energy on asking me this!”
His attitude was extremely firm.
“It looks like you’re not willing to cooperate, right?
Lin Juelong stood up, his cold aura suffocating Ye Tianzheng. This was the difference between experts and ordinary people.
Ye Tianzheng’s face instantly turned pale, and gradually ashen. Violent coughing sounds could be heard.
“Ye Tianzheng, since you like to keep secrets so much, I might as well allow you to experience the taste of death! After all, only the dead can keep secrets!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in the room, and Lin Juelong appeared in front of Ye Tianzheng and grabbed the latter’s neck!
Then, he lifted Ye Tianzheng off his feet and began to tighten his grip around the latter’s neck.
At this moment, Ye Tianzheng was in extreme pain. The veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He wanted to struggle, but he realized that it was useless.
“I’ll ask you again. Did your father leave you anything? If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’ll make you understand what the true meaning of pain is!”
Despite the threat, Ye Tianzheng still did not speak. Images kept flashing in his mind, and the only thing he could think of was the black stone.
This black stone was given to him by his father, who had asked him to give it to
Ye Chen. Although he did not know where it came from, his father had
instructed him not to tell anyone about this secret!
Moreover, this stone could only be given to Ye Chen!
In other words, Ye Chen was born for this black stone, and it was his destiny!
Ye Tianzheng had been very confused at the time, though he had known that
his parents had always been a bit strange.
On the surface, there was no difference between them and ordinary people. However, it always seemed like they were hiding something from him, and from everyone around them.
Sometimes, he even felt that he was living a lie.
Back then, when Jiang Rong was pregnant, they knew that she would give birth to a boy, and had even named him Ye Chen. Even the birth date they predicted was accurate!
He had chalked it up to a coincidence, but the more he thought about it in the Ghost Prison, the more he felt that something was amiss. Now that Lin Juelong was interrogating him about his parents, it was as if he had been enlightened.
However, he still did not say anything because once he said it, the one who would be in trouble would be his son!
He was already in his forties and had lived long enough, but his son had yet to reach his full potential. As such, he endured the pain as best he could.
At this moment, a black shadowy figure rushed in from outside.
“Juelong, stop!”
Lin Juelong was stunned, but he still did not let go!
“Juelong, if you don’t let go, if something happens to Ye Tianzheng, don’t even think about living!”
A voice filled with vigor resounded throughout the room, causing Lin Juelong’s expression to change completely. Helpless, he snorted coldly and tossed Ye Tianzheng onto the sofa.
Ye Tianzheng coughed a few times and stretched his neck. He took a few deep breaths as he stared at Lin Juelong.
At this moment, his gaze was extremely fierce. It did not look like an ordinary person’s gaze at all.
Lin Juelong ignored Ye Tianzheng’s furious gaze and said to the old man who came in, “Dad, what are you doing? I can get what you want from him. Just give me some more time.”
The old man ignored Lin Juelong. Instead, he said respectfully to the person outside, “Master Qiu, please come in.”
Not long after, a white-haired, green-robed old man appeared. The old man had his arms around his back and held a dragon-patterned walking stick. He gently waved his sleeves, kicking up a light breeze.
The appearance of the green-robed old man made Lin Juelong’s pupils shrink.
He actually felt a trace of danger from the other party.
Could this person be an expert from the Kunlun Mountains?
“Dad, this is…”
His father snorted coldly.
“Master Qiu is an expert from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains. His techniques allow him to read the memories of martial artists and ordinary people. Instead of forcing Ye Tianzheng to submit, it’s better to rely on his help.”
Lin Juelong’s pupils shrank, and he said in surprise, “Dad, you’re still the far-sighted one!”
His father ignored him and made an inviting gesture to Master Qiu. He said respectfully, “Master Qiu, please!
Master Qiu nodded his head. Without wasting any time, he stepped in front of Ye Tianzheng and pointed his finger at Ye Tianzheng’s forehead.
Ye Tianzheng wanted to dodge, but he discovered a powerful pressure binding him, preventing him from moving.
Master Qiu’s finger flashed with a purple light and entered Ye Tianzheng’s mind!
There was a trace of arrogance at the corner of his mouth. The Lin family had spent a huge price to invite him to come here. He had initially thought that they wanted him to read the memories of some powerful expert, but he did not expect it to be an ordinary person instead.
From his perspective, Ye Tianzheng was no different from an ant!
This would be a piece of cake!
Father Lin and Lin Juelong’s eyes were filled with joy and anticipation.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
After the fifth second, Master Qiu’s smile suddenly froze!
The moment his power entered Ye Tianzheng’s mind, it was blocked, and a mysterious power shot out from the other party’s mind!
This made his expression change drastically. He was about to retract his hand, but to his horror, he discovered that there was a force restraining him!
“How is this possible?”
His expression instantly turned fearful as he cried out in alarm!
Father Lin and Lin Juelong felt that something was wrong. They were about to say something when Master Qiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood…
And his hand exploded!
Blood splattered everywhere!
What was even stranger was that not a single drop of blood touched Ye Tianzheng!
“Ahhh!”
Master Qiu’s body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Then, he crashed heavily into a wall, causing it to collapse.
The entire room fell silent, and Lin Juelong and Father Lin looked at Ye Tianzheng with widened eyes. There was even a trace of fear in them! There was actually a force protecting Ye Tianzheng! One that exceeded the strength of an expert like Master Qiu!
How was this possible?
The two of them looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
“As expected, there’s definitely something strange about the Ye family of River City! It’s the same as the information left behind by our ancestors,” Father Lin said coldly.
“Dad, what should we do with Ye Tianzheng? “Lin Juelong frowned and asked. The power that had erupted just now was strong enough to endanger his own life!
“Let him stay here for the time being. We’ll think of a way. As far as I know, Jiang Rong and his son are still alive. Ye Tianzheng is a family man, and only those two can make him talk. Nothing can happen to him, or I won’t be able to explain myself to the others.”
“Fine!”
Soon, Ye Tianzheng was the only one left in the room. He looked at his hands in confusion.
