"First of all, tell me about Cu Gil and Jil Lu. Do you have any information on them?" Yang Zhai looked at Jun Seo's nervous expression and inquired.
"Huh, no, why would I have information about them, my lord? I am just a mortal, and they were elders." Jun Seo, however, did not know anything either.
"Don't lie to me, you are involved with the third elder. How come you don't know anything? Tell me truthfully." But Yang Zhai still pressured Jun Seo.
"I am telling the truth, my lord, I don't know anything about them. Even though I am involved with the killings of the newly awakened cultivators, I don't have much access to the high-level information." Jun Seo still gave the same reply.
Yang Zhai looked at Jun Seo and was contemplating. He had expected this much. He could see that Jun Seo was not lying. After all, why would Cu Gil and the other two tell anyone about their hiding place? Right now, their hiding place was the most important secret to Cu Gil and the other two.
After all, the moment Tai Qi knows about their location, they will be the same as dead. So, I don't think they will tell anyone about their hiding place. The others might not know this, but I know very clearly that Cu Gil and Jil Lu are sworn enemies because of me. They will not hide together no matter what: Yang Zhai pondered.
Cu Gil definitely ran with Yua Emi and his daughter, expecting that it was not safe for him anymore. After all, Yang Zhai was so daring as to even order him to kill Jil Lu, so what was the guarantee that Yang Zhai would not reveale the information of Yua Emi and Cu Gil to the Clan leader?
If he listened to Yang Zhai's orders even once, wasn't it the same as telling Yang Zhai that he was threatened by Yang Zhai successfully? And after that, who knew how many times more would Yang Zhai threaten him? Therefore, this was most likely the best plan that Cu Gil could come up with.
Little did Cu Gil know that I had no such plans and I wanted to get rid of him. It can be said that his cautiousness saved him from Tai Qi: Yang Zhai smiled and thought.
Unknowingly, both of his plans failed. Jil Lu was still alive, and Cu Gil was also safe. What could it be called, cautiousness or luck?
Jil Lu probably ran away because of Cu Gil: Yang Zhai was lost in thoughts.
Jun Seo looked at a smiling Yang Zhai sitting there in silence.
"Very well then, I will believe you, but tell me everything you know about the third elder." Yang Zhai asked his second question.
"Uh, what do you mean by that?" Jun Seo almost jumped from his chair after hearing Yang Zhai: So, I was not wrong, he really knows about my connection with the third elder. If the third elder knows that he has been discovered by someone because of me, I will most likely die. And most importantly… I can't even think about it.
Jun Seo trembled from just the thought of angering the third elder. However, he feared another possibility even more that he didn't want to even think about.
"Don't act dumb, what do you take me for? Tell me everything about the third elder." Yang Zhai narrowed his eyes.
"My lord, I am telling the truth, I don't know what you are talking about, please believe me."
"So, you will not reveal anything, huh? Very well then, tell me, do you love your wife? And the woman who opened the door was your wife, right? Yang Zhai changed his tone and spoke with a smile.
"What do you mean, my lord?" Jun Seo's body was shivering, and he was sweating profusely. He understood the meaning behind Yang Zhai's sentence.
"So, tell me, do you know the third elder or not?"
"I…do, he is the mastermind behind all this. He is the one who is leading the group into killing the cultivators." Jun Seo gave up and accepted. If he did not, he might lose his wife.
"As suspected, even the village leader of the third village did not know the identity of the mastermind, but you do. As I suspected, Zihao De is really behind all this." Yang Zhai muttered.
He suspected? Does it mean that he was bluffing that he knew the mastermind and forced me into revealing his name? How come I couldn't see this, I am a fool: Jun Seo looked down at his trembling hands and thought. He did not know what his outcome would be now.
Yang Zhai had suspected that the mastermind of this was Zihao De when he met him at the camp after the second round of the competition ended. Zihao De had come to meet Yang Zhai to get some information.
Yang Zhai had gone to get the ability of the Moon Bull in the forest the second time when he advanced to rank 2. The first time he was attacked and was almost blinded and could not obtain the ability of the Moon Bull at that time. So, he went there again after advancing to rank 2.
This time around, he was stronger and easily managed to defeat the ones who attacked him. After defeating them, he had tortured the only cultivator of that group and found out that the mastermind had a double-slashed mark on the backside of his neck.
At the camp of the competition, Zihao De came to meet Yang Zhai and it was at that moment that Yang Zhai saw a double slashed mark on the backside of Zihao De's neck. The same mark that the cultivator had mentioned when Yang Zhai tortured him.
So, his Suspicions rose, but he still had to confirm it fully. After thinking it through, he thought of Jun Seo. Zihao De couldn't keep an eye on everything by himself after all, so he needed someone to keep an eye for him.
Jun Seo was the one who suggested Yang Zhai the location of the Moon Bulls, Hie De also listened to Jun Seo, Jun Seo was also a mortal, the most ideal person that Zihao De could use. Who would suspect a mortal involved with the killings of the cultivators? And at that, Jun Seo was also a manager of the Moon Bull Inn, pretty rich at that.
Not just that, but how could Jun Seo be so brave as to kill the cultivators of the Bai clan, when he himself lived in the Bai village? Was this just a rage? It could be, but Yang Zhai still tested Jun Seo and his doubt proved to be right. And then, he could also control Hie De, a rank 2 cultivator, when he himself was a mortal, what was that? Jun Seo was really the puppet chosen by Zihao De.
After all this, only a fool would believe that Jun Seo didn't know the identity of the mastermind.
"Tell me everything about Zihao De." Yang Zhai had already confirmed his suspicions, now, he knew what to do.
"My lord, I only know this and nothing else, I promise."
"Wait for me here." Yang Zhai did not bother anymore and walked out of the room.
After a while, a woman's voice came from behind the door.
"Jur Qre…no, don't…tell me, NOOOOOO!!!!"
When Jun Seo heard the voice, his eyes widened, and he shouted.
He fell to the ground from his chair. He stood up and tried to walk towards the gate, but fell on the ground again. He tried to stand up again, but could not get the strength for that. He tried to crawl towards the door. The voices kept on coming from behind the door.
"Stop, stop,"
"Stop, please, stop this."
"Stop doing it, don't, no"
Jun Seo kept on mumbling. Tears were constantly falling down his face and on the Wooden floor. Snot was also mixed with the tears when they fell down on the floor. However, the voices continued coming from behind the door. Nobody was there to hear his pleas for mercy.
After a while, two more voices also came with the woman's voice.
"No, my son and my daughter. Please stop this, please someone, stop him. Someone, stop that monster. Someone, anyone!!!!"
