136 Corpse Refining Furnace
“What’s that?” Kong Rui looked at the tall black object and frowned.
This thing gave off a sinister feeling.
As Chao Bai looked at the thing, he said emotionlessly, “The Corpse Refining Furnace.”
“Oh…” Kong Rui replied. It took her a while to react. “What furnace?”
“A furnace specifically used to condense corpses!” As Chao Bai spoke, he walked forward and reached out to touch it, but Kong Rui grabbed his hand.
Kong Rui refused to let him touch the furnace. “Don’t touch this!”
Chao Bai glanced at Kong Rui and said, “This thing hadn’t been set aside for that long. I think the young people we saw previously probably also disappeared here.”
Chao Bai spoke aloofly, but Kong Rui felt her blood run cold.
“Disappeared?” Kong Rui snorted. “They were clearly refined!”
Chao Bai turned to look at the procuress and waved his hand to remove the seal on her mouth.
After the procuress finally regained the ability to speak, she opened her mouth and shouted, as if she wanted to express her fear through her cries.
Kong Rui glared at the procuress in frustration and threatened, “If you continue to shout, I’ll cut off your tongue and make you unable to speak forever!”
When the procuress heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and didn’t dare to make another sound.
Chao Bai asked the procuress, “Has anyone else besides Zi Xuan come here before?”
The procuress blinked and thought for a moment. She wanted to answer, but she was afraid of Kong Rui’s threat, so she glanced at Kong Rui timidly and didn’t dare to speak.
Kong Rui said impatiently, “Just tell me! Don’t dawdle!”
Ever since she entered this sealed environment, Kong Rui had felt certain emotions stirring in her body, making her feel uneasy and frustrated.
The brothel keeper’s unwillingness to cooperate made Kong Rui want to rush over and tear her mouth open!
The procuress didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately said, “Only Pavilion Master Zi Xuan and a few men can enter this place.”
“Men?” When Kong Rui heard the brothel keeper’s words, a few figures suddenly flashed across her mind. “Do you know them?”
“This…” At this moment, the procuress hesitated.
Kong Rui said coldly again, “Answer my question!”
The procuress paused for a moment before lowering her voice. “I’ve only seen two elders of the Li family disappear from the room with Pavilion Master Zi Xuan. There were also a few others. I heard that disciples of other sects have also been here before.”
Kong Rui asked again, “Do those two elders of the Li family include the second elder of the Li family?”
“Yes, yes!” The procuress nodded without hesitation.
“The Second Elder of the Li family was a frequent guest of Fragrant Garden, so it was very common for him to enter and leave this place. Once, I discovered that he had secretly entered Pavilion Master Zi Xuan’s room and hadn’t come out for a long time. I sent someone to send snacks and fruits to them, and only then did I realize that they had disappeared from the room together. I didn’t know that Pavilion Master Zi Xuan had brought the Second Elder to such a place. There were also a few times when Pavilion Master Zi Xuan and a few men frequently entered and left the room as well, so we were no longer surprised.”
Hearing the procuress’ words, Kong Rui suddenly thought that the death of the second elder of the Li family might be related to this space!
However, everything was just speculation. They still needed to investigate further.
As Kong Rui was thinking, she saw Chao Bai move closer to the furnace.
Kong Rui already had a bad feeling about this furnace. Seeing Chao Bai do this, she subconsciously wanted to pull him back to her side.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached out, she felt a cold aura emanating from Chao Bai.
