Chapter 2339

After saying that, he forcibly pulled off the mask from Mei Wuniang's face.

Another person stepped forward, rummaged a few times on her body, and took away all her belongings one by one, not even letting go of the two storage rings on her hands and the necklace hidden in her chest.

Not good, Mei Wuniang couldn't snatch it back, so she cautiously said: "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

What kind of ominous day is today, that all sorts of demons and monsters insist on finding her!

"We were originally tracking Xin Song and his gang, but it turned out their target was you." The leader, about twenty years old, had a simple and honest appearance, but his words were very sharp, "Their questions, we also want to know the answers, so we came to ask Miss Tong."

Mei Wuniang's teeth were almost shattered, what kind of luck is this?

"So you originally didn't come specifically for me?"

"Originally not, we were watching that group of Mou people. But since we ran into……" this person shrugged, "Why not ask a question?"

"You are neither Mou people nor from the Heavenly Palace." Mei Wuniang's thoughts raced, "Then which faction do you belong to?"

If they were from the Heavenly Palace, there would be no need to interrogate her now; they could just take her back or execute her on the spot.

Moreover, people from the Heavenly Palace have a certain aura; she could tell just by smelling.

Which faction would track and follow the Mou people near Lingxu City?

Which faction would dare to treat the Heavenly Palace's maidservants this way, probing into the Heavenly Palace's secrets?

Could it be……?

The leader pointed at the surroundings: "Miss Tong, don't you think that in this situation, I should be the one asking questions? Also, are you really called Tong Yiyi, and are you truly from Lingxu City?"

Mei Wuniang's heart alarm rang loudly.

This was her deepest-hidden secret, the background of "Tong Yiyi" was also fabricated by Cangyan, and even the Heavenly Palace couldn't find any flaw. How could these unknown people dare to suspect her!

But she had long prepared herself mentally for this day's arrival, and had rehearsed countless times beforehand, so at this moment her expression didn't change, she just frowned and looked at him: "If you don't believe me, why don't you go investigate? Hmm, that's not right, what does this have to do with you?"

This person then took something out from his bosom, unfolded it, and placed it on the table.

This time, Mei Wuniang's chest felt as if someone had fiercely grabbed it.

What was placed on the table was exactly the secret letter she had just sent out that afternoon!

To be safe, she had even paid extra to send it by air mail, never expecting it to be intercepted.

"This is the letter you previously sent out, destined for Tongshan County." This person said slowly, "Strange, you just left Hukou, didn't think of reporting to the Heavenly Palace, but instead disguised yourself and wrote a letter to an unrelated place."

"My god knows all things, naturally knows I am here, I will naturally report to Him!" Mei Wuniang raised her willow eyebrows, "You dare to neglect the Heavenly Palace, that is seeking death!"

The other party paused for a few breaths before saying: "The 'Divine Gaze' on your body has been severed, the Heavenly God also doesn't know your whereabouts. Once you encounter misfortune, the Heavenly God is equally kept in the dark."

Mei Wuniang blinked, a blank look on her face: "What? What did you say was severed?"

This little girl is young, yet as stubborn as oil and salt. "Without some methods, you won't speak."

Mei Wuniang immediately shouted loudly "Save me", but the surroundings were deathly silent with no response, and she didn't know what these people had done to the entire inn.

Four or five people beside her immediately rushed forward.

These few people have high cultivation, Mei Wuniang would struggle against one, let alone five attacking together.

In two or three moves, she was subdued.

The leader didn't waste words, grabbed her slender left hand, and applied force bit by bit.

Tong Yiyi winced in pain, her face all scrunched up.

The leader intended to prolong her pain, slowly, slowly, taking over twenty breaths to snap her wrist!

This prolonged pain is more than ten times stronger than a direct wrist break.

Tong Yiyi's face turned deathly pale, bean-sized sweat droplets kept streaming down, her lips bitten until they bled, but she didn't give up threatening him.

When that intense pain came, she let out a miserable cry, nearly fainting on the spot.

But she didn't.

These people had previously given her a pill, a heart-preserving and qi-consolidating one, to prevent her from going into shock or fainting during torture, wasting their time.

The leader picked up her other hand and said with a smile: "This hand will be treated the same way, lest it be boring. Let's change it up, I'll pull out all your fingernails. Look, these were originally already broken a few."

Mei Wuniang, having just winced from pain and struggled, had already broken a few fingernails.

Her hair was stuck to her face with sweat, yet she gritted her teeth and said to the leader: "If you want to hear the truth, at least call out your master!"

The leader didn't move: "What did you say?"

"When you speak to me, you always need to lag by two or three beats." Mei Wuniang stared at him, "So who exactly am I talking to? You're just someone's mouthpiece?"

The leader was about to speak, but then suddenly stopped, saying nothing.

This state made it seem even more like he was listening to instructions.

After a good while, he finally sat upright, changed his tone: "Such a sharp little girl, truly a pity."

This sentence doesn't sound like something he himself would say.

Mei Wuniang's heart pounded wildly: "Pity what?"

The leader didn't answer, lifted his chin at the people beside her: "Pull out all her fingernails, slowly."

For torture, short pain is not as good as long pain.

This person took out a cloth bundle, slowly unfolded it on the table, with seventeen or eighteen kinds of torture tools pinned on it. Strangely, although each tool was wiped spotlessly clean, when the bundle was opened, everyone could smell a strong stench of blood.

He then took out a pair of tweezers, went to clamp Mei Wuniang's little finger's fingernail, the movement very slow, blood seeped from the wound onto the tabletop.

Mei Wuniang's lips were bitten until they bled, yet she watched his actions and chuckled.

Her expression turned around, surprising the leader a little: "What are you laughing at?"

"Your movements aren't steady." She turned her head to point at the executioner, "Uneven force, the pulled-out fingernails won't be complete. Are you a newcomer on your first mission?"

The executioner tightened his jaw.

When pulling out the third fingernail, Mei Wuniang's expression actually became more relaxed. If it weren't for the occasional twitch of the blue veins on her forehead, the leader would still think his subordinate was giving her a manicure.

"The executioner you brought along is no good." She had already been unmasked, this face stained with red looked like a blood azalea, both wild and gorgeous, "Just pulling out fingernails isn't enough, this kind of pain can be adapted to. Back when I dealt with the accomplices of my father's killer, I only used half an incense stick's time to make him lose control of his bowels and bladder, screaming like a pig being slaughtered during New Year!"

The third fingernail was pulled out, she only blinked slightly. Just as she herself said, not only had she already adapted, but even gained some enjoyment.

The leader stared at her and said, "Provoking me like this isn't wise."

Mei Wuniang smiled, fresh blood staining her teeth red: "From a very young age, I learned to completely separate the pain and sensations my body endures."
