Chapter 2519: Chapter 2509 Truth

Tian Wu broke into a cold sweat instantly, how did I know that? Tian Wu now completely lost the chance to argue, sweating profusely, his slip of the tongue confirmed his identity as the mole. Brother Qing and the others glanced at Long Yan gratefully, but the latter was indifferent.

“Then speak up, or I think Brother Qing will have ways to make you talk.”

As Long Yan finished speaking, Brother Qing rubbed his palms as if stretching, but Tian Wu seemed provoked, flipping his hand to retrieve a dagger from his bosom.

Before entering the dungeon, everyone was searched, but Tian Wu, relying on years of habit, had left a dagger on himself, unexpectedly proving useful today. The dagger in his hand pointed straight at Long Yan, thereafter leaving the rest to his own disposition, knowing that Tian Wu had already achieved the strength to advance to a heavenly level mercenary.

Brother Qing’s group only possessed upper Earth-level mercenary strength. Tian Wu’s face showed ecstatic joy, but he didn’t know Long Yan was already prepared. Even if not prepared, with Tian Wu’s strength, it was impossible to hurt him.

Brother Qing felt the wind rushing past him, and in the next second, Tian Wu, who was in a forward-charge stance, flew back in the trajectory he came. Then, he slammed into the wall.

The dagger in Tian Wu’s hand also fell to the ground, making a clanging sound. Tian Wu felt his stomach churn, golden stars flashing before his eyes. In that instant, Tian Wu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly heavily injured.

“Speak now.”

Long Yan stood in front of Tian Wu; the dagger Tian Wu held earlier was now in Long Yan’s hand, fiddling with it. Tian Wu’s attention was entirely drawn to the dagger, knowing that if Long Yan wanted to kill him, it would be easy, but the fact remained that Long Yan was still in the dungeon.

“Hum, do you know what will happen if you kill me?”

Since his identity was discovered, he stopped pretending and looked defiantly at Long Yan playing with the dagger.

“Oh?”

“I know you’re strong, but you should know you’re not unchained yet…”

Tian Wu hadn’t finished speaking when Long Yan slightly exerted, and the chains on his hands and feet snapped into two pieces on cue, chains sufficient for mercenaries but not for cultivators.

“Speak.”

The dagger in Long Yan’s hand pressed against Tian Wu’s shoulder, lightly pushing it to carve a bloody gash on Tian Wu’s body, then Long Yan moved towards Tian Wu’s neck.

“I will speak…”

Tian Wu felt helpless inside, knowing his little life was in someone else’s hands; even if he didn’t want to speak, he had no choice.

“What is the distribution of combat power in this dungeon like?”

Long Yan played with the dagger, asking as the crimson at the dagger’s tip remained startling.

“In this dungeon, there’s little combat power, but if the dungeon faces an emergency, there are ten beasts.”

Tian Wu thought for a while before saying, if someone breaks out, beasts will be released, unless they reach the dungeon gate, beasts won’t be stopped, hence the dungeon gate is exceptionally sturdy.

“Won’t Luo Xiang come here?”

Long Yan curiously asked, the beasts Tian Wu spoke of are probably similar to Zhao Wuhun, creatures without intelligence, so Luo Xiang would also be attacked here.

“No, there are only six disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect inside, they are cultivators, six cultivators stationed are definitely enough.”

Tian Wu shook his head, having never seen him here, only six cultivators within the dungeon.

Brother Qing drew a breath upon hearing of the six cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Their combat strength probably surpassed everyone in the dungeon combined, knowing one cultivator could easily kill ten mercenaries, let alone six.

Brother Qing glanced at Long Yan, but found no worry on the latter’s face, just looking at Tian Wu with his question.

From Tian Wu, Long Yan learned that although the dungeon is large, apart from those six cultivators, there’s almost no guarding power. Those six cultivators were continuously experimenting on necessary individuals, after all, Luo Xiang had nearly two hundred black-clothed men lurking outside, safety was not a concern.

However, the six people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect seemed to lack, Long Yan squinted slightly, while those imprisoned spoke of an experiment involving transplanting demon beast parts onto humans, said to be one of the sect’s secrets.

Long Yan almost laughed aloud at this, the so-called secret was merely a years-old aberrant experiment by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, initially using their own disciples, aiming to fuse the demon beast’s strength onto humans.

However, the experiment led to rampaging specimens, hundreds of half-human half-beast monsters escaped the sect’s mountain gate, eventually eradicated by all Orthodoxy individuals from the Sacred Domain working together.

Upon first encountering Zhao Wuhun, Long Yan suspected such monsters, but all were thoroughly eliminated by righteous cultivators, why did they appear in this small town?

Once all monsters were eradicated, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was prohibited from such experiments but moved their stronghold here.

Combining humans and demon beasts was feasible, but the beast’s ferocity would consume human will, creating mere killing machines, and human flesh quickens beast recovery, with demonic Qi’s blessing hard to kill, even Zhao Wuhun encountered before was reduced to ashes with Divine Fire.

Long Yan lightly tapped his fingers on the bedside; since six remained in hiding, he marked the path specially all the way, hoping Mercenary Guild would come.

Yet because not to alert other sects in the Holy Domain, the stronghold was set in the Demon Beast Mountain Range to avoid attention, unexpectedly revealing everything to Long Yan today, proving the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect doomed to fall.

Moreover, proximity to the looming thousand-year end of the Demon Clan’s seal rendered leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect as a ticking bomb impossible.

While Long Yan pondered, the sounds of shouting and killing resounded from outside.
