Chapter 257: Chapter 255: Divine Descendant Sect and Divine Grace Sect

"I am an upright Demon Hunter; how could I ignore such a thing? Come over quickly, no need to thank me, no need to thank me."

Having completed his task of snitching, Wen Wen hung up the phone.

He had called the Hunter Association of Southern Xiangnan Province because the incident involved Glory Church, and Wen Wen was worried a city-level Hunter Association would not handle it well.

Meanwhile, Liu Shang, lying on the ground, looked at Wen Wen with contempt. During the call, this guy had basically bragged about himself in any way he could, and Liu Shang truly wondered how Wen Wen had managed to cultivate such shamelessly thick skin.

After the call, Wen Wen turned to look at Liu Shang, lying on the ground in despair, ready to start the interrogation.

Wen Wen certainly remembered that these two had come for him; he wanted to clarify their purpose and also find out how these townspeople had ended up in such a state.

However, just as he was about to speak, Wen Wen gave Liu Shang a probing look, feeling it awkward to interrogate someone lying on the ground.

So he took out a belt, hung Liu Shang on the church’s Cross, then brought over a comfortable chair to sit in front of Liu Shang, ready to question him.

"The Demon Hunters will be here soon; before that, I have two questions for you."

"..."

Liu Shang had no intention of responding, not because he was incredibly stoic, but simply because he didn’t want to talk to Wen Wen.

After what Wen Wen had done to him, even if he was honest with the Hunters Association, he wouldn’t be open with Wen Wen.

Wen Wen scratched his head; it would get tricky if Liu Shang didn’t cooperate. Tao Qingqing’s Hypnotic Ability could, at most, bewitch superpower users at the Exploration stage; it probably wouldn’t work on him.

"A lenient confession, severe resistance—if you don’t start talking, I won’t know what I might do when they get here," Wen Wen kindly cautioned.

Liu Shang was indifferent; the Hunters Association’s people would be arriving soon, and what could they do to him, even if they resorted to the death penalty?

Wen Wen curled his lip and, amid Liu Shang’s silent expression, opened his black briefcase and started taking out his torture tools, one by one.

Whip, candle, handcuffs... basically all the stuff belonging to Xu Hai’s set.

Looking at these items, Wen Wen himself felt they didn’t have much of a deterrent effect, so he smacked his forehead and took out a pink Cat-Ear Cup and a small bottle filled with blood.

He first swayed the Cat-Ear Cup, then opened it to reveal a liquid inside mingled with red and green. It was a mix made from the hottest chili peppers and mustard he could find on the market.

Uh... Wen Wen had made this concoction himself; it had nothing to do with the original owner of the Cat-Ear Cup.

Next, Wen Wen subjected Liu Shang to an inhumane punishment with the mix, causing him so much agony his veins throbbed and sweat soaked his back, yet he still refused to utter a word.

Wen Wen shook his head; this was truly a case of refusing the toast only to drink down the forfeit. He then opened the small bottle of blood and carefully dripped a few drops into Liu Shang’s mouth.

This punishment bore no unbearable stimulation or pain, yet it sent shivers down Liu Shang’s spine.

Part of his Superpower strength inside his body had simply vanished!

This blood was Heng An’s!

Because of the blood’s attribute of removing Superpower energy, Wen Wen dared not store it in the Cat-Ear Cup, fearful he would break the cup.

Sensing the energy changes within Liu Shang’s body, Wen Wen nodded in satisfaction; the effect of the blood was quite good.

"What did you just make me drink?"

Liu Shang struggled violently. He wasn’t afraid of chili water, but now, he was terrified. Supernatural Power was almost the most important thing to him; he simply couldn’t imagine what he would be like without it.

"Some little trinket that can clear away Supernatural Power. This little bottle should turn you into a completely ordinary person."

Wen Wen thought for a moment and then continued, "Oh, right, if you don’t talk, I won’t hand you over to the Hunters Association. Instead, I’ll keep you for myself. I still have some nice things to use on you."

Wen Wen’s words shattered Liu Shang’s psychological defenses. He could endure torment for a while.

But to be in the hands of Wen Wen, a pervert, and to be continuously tortured, that was simply hell!

So he sighed in resignation and said, "Just ask whatever you want; I’ll tell everything."

Wen Wen began to smile. Except for true Exalted Ones and psychological perverts, very few people can keep their lips sealed under torture.

And Supernatural Power just happened to be the Achilles’ heel of most superpower users.

Wen Wen raised two fingers and asked, "I don’t have many questions, just two. The first question is, what exactly do you two want to get from me?"

Since his psychological defenses had been breached, Liu Shang no longer concealed anything: "Within Glory Church, there are two factions, the Divine Descendant Sect which Pang Peng and I belong to, and the Divine Grace Sect which Yan Xiu belongs to."

Wen Wen nodded; he had seen these two factions in the internal records of the Hunters Association.

The Divine Descendant Sect believed that since the creator made the world, it should be managed by the creator. Even if the creator doesn’t wish to manage it personally, this world should be led by ’luminous’ beings, namely angels.

On the other hand, the Divine Grace Sect advocated that the creator blessed all beings and created the world to let it develop better. As shepherds of the creator, they should strive to maintain this fragile world and not allow too many angels to descend, disrupting the world’s balance.

It seemed that this attack was a struggle between the factions within Glory Church.

Liu Shang continued, "The Divine Grace Sect possesses a secret ritual known to only a few Divine Technicians. By killing ghosts in a particular way, they can extract a mysterious substance. When enough of this substance accumulates, it can be used to repair the spatial damage left by the descent of powerful beings and can also be used to summon angels!"

Wen Wen’s eyes brightened. He remembered that in Furong River City, Yan Xiu had resolved a great number of ghosts before him. It appeared that Yan Xiu was creating that substance.

"So... Yan Xiu knows that secret ritual?"

Liu Shang nodded: "The reason we intercepted you was because we suspected that Yan Xiu had commissioned you to transport that substance, and the Bishop didn’t want it to fall into the hands of that old dog... no, Father Liu Danfeng, instead wanting to use it to summon angels."

Wen Wen largely believed Liu Shang’s words. As a detective, being observant is a fundamental skill, so he was convinced Liu Shang was not lying.

Moreover, Liu Shang had neither the necessity nor the capability to deceive Wen Wen.

After a brief pause, Wen Wen continued, "Next is the second question, what’s the deal with the townspeople here?"

Liu Shang hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke honestly: "This also relates to the goals of our Divine Descendant Sect."

"When angels descend, they will kill all the impure creatures nearby. So to allow angels to truly walk among humans and not be trapped in statues, the Bishop proposed transforming a place to make all the people and animals there into ’holy’ creatures."

"And the place we chose is Spectrum Town!"
