Chapter 781: Chapter 781_1

Nangong Que was unsatisfied with the Underground Emperor interfering. "Why shouldn’t I kill her? She’s the murderer who hurt my sister!"

Realizing his words had caused a misunderstanding, the Underground Emperor quickly clarified.

"I’m not pleading for this wicked woman! I’m thinking about Wesley. I know Wesley well. She never gives up easily. If there’s even a tiny chance, she’ll find a way to save herself! Therefore, I believe she’s still alive. We should keep this woman and interrogate her. Perhaps there are other passages and we might be able to rescue Wesley faster if we find out."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Que found it quite reasonable and asked Qi Yunjue, "Should we put her through some rigorous questioning?"

Qi Yunjue stared at Linxi, without uttering a word.

Seeing his hesitation, Linxi snarled, "There are no secret passages anymore! Kill me! As long as Yan Ling is buried with me, I suffer no loss!"

Qi Yunjue wanted to make a move, but Nangong Que didn’t want to lose any opportunity.

"She must know something. I’ll find a superpower user who excels in mental control to hypnotize her. We might be able to get some answers out of her!"

Hearing this, Linxi became extremely agitated.

"I don’t want to be hypnotized! Qi Yunjue, don’t you hate me? I’m the one who killed the person you loved the most. Kill me now!"

Linxi’s unusually vehement request for death further confirmed Nangong Que’s suspicions.

This woman must know something!

"Someone get Wendy here. I’m going to find out just how many secrets this woman is hiding."

Hearing Nangong Que’s words, Qi Yunjue cast Linxi to the floor, seemingly agreeing with the decision.

Seeing this, Linxi grew even more terrified.

"Qi Yunjue, everyone can hate me, but not you! Don’t you know that if it wasn’t for me, you’d have died countless times already? Now, I’m asking you to repay me. I can’t be hypnotized. You know what mental control means. If the superpower user can’t control what he’s doing, I could become a vegetable. You might as well just kill me!"

"Kill you? That would be letting you off far too easily! Qi Yunjue, you’ve left my sister’s fate uncertain; I’ll settle this score with you later. But this woman, I must deal with her."

Nangong Que, fearing Qi Yunjue would go easy on her, spoke very firmly.

However, Qi Yunjue didn’t care at all about Linxi’s fate.

"Do as you wish."

Not killing Linxi personally was already the greatest mercy he could show her!

"Qi Yunjue, you can’t leave! You abandoned me once before. Are you going to abandon me again now?"

Linxi, finally knowing fear, clung to Qi Yunjue’s pant leg, pleading desperately.

The man had to halt his steps when she grabbed onto him, turning back to look at her.

Linxi thought he had changed his mind and immediately said, "Qi Yunjue, I beg you, save me!"

Qi Yunjue’s face remained cold as he harshly replied, "Linxi, no one can save you. You have to pay for your mistakes and ambition."

"No! I didn’t do anything wrong. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you! If you hadn’t despised Luo Qi and me for being weak and abandoned us, how could we have become what we are now? I craved power to stop you from abandoning me again! Look, I created the Dark Empire. I even found a way to give ordinary people superpowers. If you’re willing, I’ll help you stand at the peak of the world."

Qi Yunjue couldn’t stand to listen anymore. With a swift kick, he pushed her away and indifferently strode toward the ruins.

Realizing her last shred of hope was lost, Linxi gave it her all. "Qi Yunjue, come back! You can’t do this to me!"

"Silence! Do you still not realize what you’ve done wrong? Fine, let me tell you. The reason the boss left you behind was not because you’d hold us back. Instead, it was because you didn’t have superpowers and he didn’t want you risking your lives alongside us!"

Frustrated with Linxi’s endless ramblings, Raging Bull couldn’t bear to listen anymore and stepped forward to explain everything.

Linxi paled at his words, denying on the spot. "That’s nonsense! I’m a superpower user. I have a paranormal ability!"

"You know it yourself whether you’re a superpower user or not! Perhaps you’re not aware, but the boss has superhuman perception. He can sense superpower fluctuations. When you and Luo Qi were in danger, there was no fluctuation, meaning it was impossible for you to be superpower users!"

Linxi shook her head, denying it. "No, I am a superpower user. He abandoned us because he thought we were weak! Moreover, even if we’re not superpower users, does that mean we should have been left behind?"

"The boss left you behind to save you! The superpower users who were rescued at the time wanted to kill you to avenge those innocent children! But the boss said that you were forced to have blood on your hands, and if you became ordinary people, you wouldn’t hurt others. He left you behind to protect you!"
