Chapter 231 Is it really a coincidence?
Lin Changqing held Chen Ziya's hand, and the two of them took a slow stroll to see if anyone was following them.

Fortunately, nothing was found this time. Then the two returned to Ping An Hotel, and Lin Changqing activated the ban on the door.

Chen Ziya has already started busying herself in the living room. She is setting up a magic circle that can be soundproof and isolate spirits.

She knew that Lin Changqing would definitely use the Amethyst Scorpion to interrogate the captives, and the noise would probably be very loud after a while, so she chose a magic circle that was specifically designed to isolate sounds and spirits.

When Lin Changqing saw Chen Ziya setting up the formation, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. The two of them were getting more and more in sync. As they spent more time together, Chen Ziya also understood what Lin Changqing needed.

In just a short while, the magic circle was set up. Chen Ziya pulled Lin Changqing to the center of the magic circle, and then activated the magic circle with a spell.

He said to Lin Changqing: "Brother, this is the Hidden Spirit Breathing Array. Its function is to block the fluctuations of spiritual energy and the transmission of sound. I think this should meet your needs."

Lin Changqing laughed and couldn't help but praise: "Junior sister is really smart and intelligent. She immediately understood what senior brother needs. Junior sister must be the best gift God has given me!"

Chen Ziya rolled her eyes at him, knowing that Lin Changqing said such words to please her because of what made her angry just now.

"Brother, I'm not angry anymore, don't say nice things to coax me.

Let's hurry up and release one first to find out what's going on!"

Even though he was found out, Lin Changqing was not embarrassed. He just laughed dryly and covered it up.

After some consideration, he released twenty-four amethyst scorpions and hid them around. This was to be prepared for any eventuality, and they would also be needed during the interrogation later.

Then, another monk who had been following them all morning was released. There were two people following them in total.

When these two were captured, Lin Changqing paid special attention to them and specifically memorized their appearances, so he would definitely not make a mistake.

The environment changed suddenly and when the man came out, he was still a little confused, but he quickly adapted to it.

And it seems that the damage from the sting of the Amethyst Scorpion has recovered.

Lin Changqing will not be polite to those who are plotting against him.

He said directly with a blank expression: "Listen carefully, I will only say it once, and you should answer whatever I ask honestly.

If you don't want to say it, or if what you say is not right, then I can only ask you to taste the extremely painful taste again.

An ordinary Qi Refining cultivator or a first-level monster can only withstand this kind of damage three times. You still have two times. Think carefully before you decide whether you want to try it again. "

The middle-aged cultivator heard these words as soon as he came out. Thinking of the painful feeling, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Even a veteran like him who had been in the world of immortal cultivation for decades did not want to experience that kind of pain again!

He quickly said, "Just ask! I'll tell you everything I know.

I know that if a Jie Xiu is captured, he will definitely not survive, but before he dies, he does not want to experience that kind of pain again. "

Lin Changqing nodded: "It's great that you have this understanding, it will save trouble for both of us.

What is your name, who are you, and who sent you to follow us?"

The man didn't hesitate and said directly: "My name is Guo Dagui, and the five of us form a monster hunting team.

They are the kind of monster hunting team that usually goes into the mountains to hunt monsters and beasts, but if they are short of money, they will occasionally find a place to do some hunting.

As for following you, it was because I saw you just coming out of Wanbao Pavilion. You looked young, but had an extraordinary temperament.

Therefore, it can be judged that there must be a lot of spirit stones or spiritual objects of relatively high value in your storage bags.

So we chose you as the target of this attack, and no one sent us here." Lin Changqing couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, and said to him coldly: "Are you sure, is this the case?"

Guo Dagui nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's right. I'm telling the truth."

Lin Changqing was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore. With a thought, a purple crystal scorpion appeared and quickly crawled towards the base of Guo Dagui's thigh.

When Guo Dagui saw the Purple Crystal Scorpion, he knew something was wrong and shouted, "I'm telling the truth, why are you still torturing me?"

Lin Changqing didn't say anything more to him, but just sneered a few times, and the long purple crystal needle at the tail of the little guy stung Guo Dagui's thigh.

Guo Dagui let out an extremely sharp scream. If the others were not prepared and the distance was so close, their eardrums would have been punctured.

After the scream, Guo Dagui jumped a few times on the ground like a shrimp, sweating all over, and then opened his mouth and breathed desperately.

Fortunately, Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya were both experienced. When the amethyst scorpion was about to sting him, they both covered their ears.

After waiting for a long time, Guo Dagui finally came to his senses. He stared at them fiercely and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? I have already told the truth, and you still want to torture me!"

Lin Changqing looked at him coldly, and finally said, "You are so familiar with the terrain of Fangshi, you must have visited the site in advance.

After we discovered their plan, they immediately set up an ambush on the road we had to pass, and it was obvious that they were coming for us.

You are telling me now that you think we are fat sheep after seeing us coming out of Wanbao Pavilion! Do you think we are fools?"

Guo Dagui then realized what the problem was, and explained with a wry smile: "So it was because of this, it was really a misunderstanding!

We have lived in this market town for more than ten years, so it is normal for us to be familiar with the terrain. Moreover, we often look for targets in the market town, so we must be familiar with the terrain!
As for leaving the market town to set up the formation, it was because my eldest brother said that we were discovered today, and it is not suitable to stay in the market town for this period of time.

That's why we left the market town and prepared to set up an ambush to ambush any monks passing by. After we're done with this, we'll find a place to hide and practice for a while before coming out.

We really don't want to ambush you. Besides, we have been discovered following you. You must have been much more vigilant during this period. If we ambush you again, the chances of success are not high!"

After hearing Guo Dagui's explanation, Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya looked at each other in bewilderment.

Could it be that all this is really a coincidence? The luck of those two people is so bad. They didn't show any wealth at all this time, yet they still encountered this!

After thinking for a while, he said to Guo Dagui: "It would be best if what you said is true, since there are five of you.

If someone says something different than what you said, I will let my scorpion play with you for a while before sending you on your way."

Guo Dagui nodded half-deadly, "I'm about to die, who wants to suffer so much? I didn't intend to lie to you in the first place!"

Lin Changqing has actually asked almost all the questions, but he still adheres to his usual philosophy and the principle of extracting oil from waste.

He started to deceive her, saying, "Since you are quite cooperative, as long as you pay us 20,000 spirit stones, you can redeem your life here.

Of course, if you don't have spiritual stones, you can also use skills, mystical techniques, secrets, or valuable information. That's fine too. I will give you a fair estimate of the value.

But don’t talk about what’s in your storage bag. Those are my spoils of war and they all belong to me.

Also, I am only redeeming your life. I will definitely destroy your cultivation. I cannot leave any trouble for myself. I have to make this clear to you first."

When Guo Dagui heard that he could redeem his life, he thought there was a glimmer of hope.

But then he heard that it would cost 20,000 spirit stones, or a skill or information worth 20,000 spirit stones, and he despaired again, because he didn't have any.
