Ancestor Above

Chapter 315

315 I can only rely on the ancestor to save my life

Zhao Siwei denied that the Zhao clan had instructed the faceless society to Rob the Lu clan’s caravan. Lu Wenen did not know if he was telling the truth.

There was little meaning in using the God seeking talisman on an initial enlightenment cultivator. The essence of the God seeking talisman was to exert power on the spiritual level, but the breakthrough from the foundation establishment to the initial enlightenment was a huge leap in the spiritual level. At the initial enlightenment stage, the God seeking talisman was no longer so reliable. At least, many initial enlightenment cultivators had received targeted training, or their own spirit strength was stronger than others, so it was not too difficult to avoid and deceive the God seeking talisman.

When he was interrogating Zhao Siwei, Lu Wenen had never thought of using the God-seeking talisman. It was not very meaningful.

In comparison, it was better to use the threat of death and torture, which might be more effective on initial enlightenment cultivators.

As Lu Wenen continued to pour in life Elementium, Zhao Siwei’s expression changed drastically.

The initial infusion of life Elementium was actually a very comfortable process. However, if too much was poured into it, the cultivator’s ability to withstand it would be limited. This was especially true for the foreign life source. Not only would it have a great impact on the body and the cultivator’s Foundation, but it would also be a great challenge to the spirit.

The extreme comfort was over the top, and it was even more painful than the torture. Zhao Siwei felt as if there were thousands of ants crawling under his skin. If it was just a special feeling on the physical body, it would be fine. Most importantly, this extreme comfort would also come from the soul.

Five stones spirit powder? How could the level of those things be compared to the treatment that Zhao Siwei was enjoying now?

In the beginning, he was still able to deny it with all his might under Lu Wenen’s constant questioning. Later on, his consciousness was a little muddled, and the strength of his denial became very weak.

At the end of the day, things would reverse when they reached an extreme, and that was the ultimate pain. Zhao Siwei couldn’t bear it anymore. He could only raise his hand with difficulty. His eyes rolled back and he said in a trembling and intermittent voice, ” “Stop! Stop! Stop!”

Lu Wenen eased his strength.

In fact, he was a little afraid. Zhao Siwei’s current state was obviously very bad. If this continued, Lu Wenen was worried that this fellow’s body would not be able to withstand it and would explode from the large amount of life source.

If he died, the pressure from the Zhao clan and the pressure from the officials of the Imperial court who died in prison without a trial could be ignored. Most importantly, if he died, the clues would be cut off. Who knew how long it would take for the matter to be continued?

Furthermore, with how secretive the faceless society was, they would definitely be even more cautious in the future. It would be even more difficult to find another opportunity.

Not only did Lu Wenen stop, but he also took back some extra life Elementium from Zhao Siwei’s body.

Right now, this fellow looked swollen beyond recognition, but at the very least, he had regained his consciousness.

He panted heavily and said weakly, ” “How did you know about the faceless society?”

“You don’t have to ask about this.” Lu Wenen asked, ” four years ago, the Lu clan’s caravan was attacked by the faceless society. Was the Zhao clan behind this? ”

it’s really not Qianqian. Zhao Siwei saw Lu Wenen raise his hand as if he was trying to inject some kind of power into his body. He quickly continued, ” but I admit, Qianqian, that the Zhao family has connections with the faceless society.

Seeing that Zhao Siwei had the intention to continue, Lu Wenen did not do anything more.

Zhao Siwei shouldn’t be a member of the faceless society. At most, he had some contact and communication with the faceless society. However, this was already very valuable information.

“Why did you come into contact with the faceless society?”

Seeing that Lu Wenen was about to make a move again, Zhao Siwei hastened his speech and began to describe in detail what he was going to do. I’m looking for them to do something, Yingying.

“We have a batch of Kasaya in Jin province, and we’re going to deliver it to the capital of Yan. I don’t know what it is, I really don’t know. I’ve never taken over a Kasaya before, but since we can’t openly escort it, it’s either because the item is too sensitive or there’s something wrong with its origin. But as for the specific situation, I don’t know either,”

“In addition, I’ve come into contact with the faceless society a total of two times. The second time, Qianqian was paying a reward. The faceless society gave me a list and asked me to bring it to my family. The clan didn’t say anything. They just asked the other members of the clan to prepare the items on the list. I won’t be responsible for the handover to the faceless society.”

......

After that, Zhao Siwei told him everything he knew about the faceless society. Of course, it was impossible for all of this to be voluntary. It had to be said that Lu Wenen’s methods were used.

Among them, Wenen was most concerned about the payment that Zhao Siwei had mentioned.

He asked Zhao Siwei to write down in detail what the Zhao clan had given to the faceless society.

Lu Wenen instinctively felt that something was amiss when he held these things in his hands.

Just by looking at the list, he could tell that he recognized some of the items and not some. However, it was clear that there were many things that were of great value in the part that he knew.

In particular, there was a divine wood of Heavenly Thunder inside.

This made Lu Wenen recall that among the items that the Lu clan’s team had brought along, the most valuable items were the three pieces of divine lightning wood that they had just bought from Yunxiao sect.

The market price of three pieces of divine wood of Heavenly Thunder was 50000 spiritual stones. Including other things, the total value of the goods on the flying boat alone was more than 300000 spirit stones, even without counting the personal belongings of the cultivators.

Of course, this was a very high amount of wealth. It was very normal to attract greedy eyes.

However, he felt that it would not be that simple.

When he saw the divine lightning wood appear on the list of rewards that the faceless society had requested from the Zhao clan, although this could not directly prove anything, it still made Lu Wenen make some connections.

Could it be that the faceless Ethereal Summit is Collecting the Divine lightning wood?

A material like Heavenly Thunder divine wood usually had two uses: It was for breaking through and making magic tools.

However, only lunatics would use materials like the divine lightning wood or the yin-essence water Jade to make magic tools. Wasn’t that a waste of heavenly resources?

However, if the faceless society’s true goal was to collect a large amount of divine lightning wood, then what was the use of such a treasure? Give people a breakthrough? Was there a need to use such a large force to help one or more foundation building cultivators break through to the initial enlightenment stage?

That was unlikely.

Lu Wenen could not be sure, so he could only put this clue aside for now.

In the past, he was not very familiar with the work of interrogation. However, after three years as the left supervisor of the Supreme Court and his insistence on personally investigating and handling cases, he had gained some experience in this area. He could basically confirm that Zhao Siwei had told him everything he knew, but what if he had left out something?

He planned to be more ruthless and try to get something out of Zhao Siwei’s mouth.

However, at that moment, a cultivator from the Lu family walked into the prison.

Wenen, the Zhao family is here. They’ve already passed the main entrance of the arrest Department and are coming this way.

“You can just barge into the arrest Department?”

The man forced a smile and said, ” Wang Sheng, that guy, ran away. The other party said a few words and didn’t dare to stop him anymore. He let him go directly.

Lu Wenen shook his head. This was within his expectations.

He walked out and asked, ” “Who’s from the Zhao family?”

“He’s in the palanquin, so I can’t see him. But he might be Zhao Guangxin.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenen’s footsteps paused.

...

Zhao Guang Xin was not only the Zhao clan leader, he was also one of the highest-ranking officials in Yan country. He was one of the three Dukes, the Imperial Censorate, and he had the power and responsibility to monitor all the officials in the world.

At the same time, Zhao Guang Xin was a late-stage golden core cultivator.

With these identities added together, Lu Wenen could not help but feel immense pressure.

He remembered that the Zhao family would not let him go after he ruthlessly captured Zhao Siwei. This was also why he had a thought before and did not want to make Zhao Siwei too miserable. The reason

But he didn’t expect the Zhao family to have such a big reaction. The Imperial Censorate personally came to see the Suan ni turtle.

No matter what, he could only face it. There was no escape.

Before he walked out of the prison door, Wenen puffed out his chest, paused for a moment, and then walked out with an imposing appearance.

Outside the prison door, a light blue cloud was floating two feet above the ground, carrying a royal blue child with golden edges. Beside and behind the palanquin, there were a group of armored guards holding weapons.

As one of the three Dukes, the Imperial Censorate had the authority to mobilize a group of Imperial Guards. These guards, who were trained by the Imperial court using secret techniques, were at least at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage. Three of them were even at the foundation building stage. They were strong in offense and defense. The armor they wore and the weapons in their hands were all specially made. They were especially good at moving in formations. They were one of the strongest armies in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Of course, this was nothing in front of high-level cultivators. At the very least, Lu Wenen was completely confident that even if this small Imperial Army squad formed a formation, he would be able to annihilate them all. It would just take some effort. In reality, if the person sitting inside was Zhao Guang Xin himself, with his strength, he wouldn’t need the protection of these Imperial Army guards. They were more like guards of honor, filling up the scene.

Lu Wenen stood in front of these people, not saying a word.

...

The palanquin stopped, and a voice came from inside, ” “Left supervisor Lu Wenen, do you know your crime?”

“Who are you, Sir?” Lu Wenen asked despite already knowing the answer.

The curtain on the palanquin opened on its own, revealing the person inside.

As expected, it was Zhao Guang Xin himself.

“It’s a dereliction of duty if you can’t recognize me.”

“This official greets the Imperial censor.” Lu Wenen was helpless. He could only cup his hands and bow. The only thing he could protect himself with now was his official position in Great Yan, so naturally, he couldn’t give up this position.

“Answer my question. Do you admit your crime?”

“What crime?”

“Abuse of power, what crime does Zhao Siwei have? Where are the servants?”

he forced a female cultivator to do illegal things. The evidence is irrefutable. As the left supervisor of the court, I am the one who arrested him and exercised the law. What crime have I committed? ”

“Do you have an arrest warrant?”

“There are!”

“To arrest an official of the Imperial court, we need the Taichang Manor to remove his official position first. Did the Taichang Manor do this?”

“It’s not a must, it’s determined by the law.” Lu Wenen responded calmly.

“What is written in the law?”

“If there is a major violation of the law, Yingluo”

“Do you have it?”

“There are!”

“What?”

“Colluding with the faceless society! This organization acts in the dark and has threatened the Imperial court’s Xuanji many times.”

“Nonsense!” Zhao Guangxin’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and the aura of a golden core cultivator was released without reservation.

Zhao Guang was actually panicking.

The faceless society’s Affairs were kept a secret. Even many of the Zhao clan’s direct descendants were unaware of this matter. In the beginning, he had thought that Lu Wenen had caused trouble for Zhao Siwei and imprisoned him only because of the conflict between the Lu clan and the Zhao clan. After all, when Zhao Guangxin first received the news, he only knew that Lu Wenen had arrested him on the charge of forcing a female cultivator.

As for Zhao Siwei’s arrest, Zhao Guangxin naturally thought that it had something to do with the faceless society. But after all, the faceless society had hidden themselves very well. Lu Wenen had only been in Yan city for less than three years as the left supervisor of the court. He should not be able to find out anything.

The result:

Hearing Lu Wenen reveal the faceless society, Zhao Guang Xin knew that his grandnephew had said something he shouldn’t have. At the same time, he also knew that he could not let Lu Wenen continue.

This matter had great implications.

Zhao Guang Xin even wanted to kill him, but he was still hesitating.

Although Zhao Guang Xin had yet to make a move, Lu Wenen, who was directly facing all of this, still felt as if his heart was being clenched tightly by something, and he could not breathe from the pressure.

Lu Wenen forced himself to stay awake. He tried his best to reach for his waist.

His trump card was there.

However, the deterrence of a golden core cultivator was too strong. Even if they didn’t really make a move, just the pressure of their aura was enough to make it difficult for Lu Wenen to move.

At this moment, a voice was heard from nearby. “Brother Zhao, what wind blew you here?”

Zhao Guang’s heart did not waver, and his eyes were still fixed on Lu Wenen.

He could tell whose voice it was. It was Guan leping, the Supreme Court of Great Yan.

As the head of the Guan clan, Guan leping was also a cultivator in the Golden core stage.

As Guan leping got closer and closer, Zhao Guangxin could only temporarily restrain his power. He walked out of the palanquin and looked at Guan leping expressionlessly, saying, ” “Dean of the court, you’re not strict enough.”

Guan leping, who usually had a serious face when they met, was smiling at this time.

brother Zhao, ” he said, ” I’m clear about this matter. I’ll definitely give you an explanation.

“What explanation?”

the left supervisor of the Supreme Court, Lu Wenen, has disregarded the laws of the country. He and the cultivators from the arrest Department who acted without authorization will be thrown into the prison together. After this, I will definitely investigate this matter and give brother Zhao an explanation!

Zhao Guang thought about it and felt that it was a good suggestion.

There was no problem for him to casually kill Lu Wenen on the spot, but he would inevitably be criticized afterward.

If he put the person in jail first and then thought of a way to deal with him, whether it was a ‘violent death in prison’ or some other means, it was much better than killing him in public. It would also be more embarrassing.

“Then let’s do this.” Zhao Guang thought.

Guan leping smiled and nodded. He then looked at Lu Wenen.”Aren’t you going to surrender? Are you waiting for me to do it myself?”

Lu Wenen did not say anything.

His hand had already touched his waist. There, a white paper talisman was ignited.

This was something the old ancestor had left him before he left for Yan city.

He still remembered the words of the great Grandmaster,”if you encounter danger, burn it, and I’ll know.”

Now, he was already at his wit’s end and could only rely on the old ancestor to save his life.
