Ruthless Six of Hearts

Chen Ling looked at the Thorn Whip in his hand, his expression somewhat subtle.

Although he said he was going to interrogate, actually he just wanted to see how the situation of Jian Changsheng and the others was... According to Chen Ling's understanding of the 6-series generation, although the current situation was troublesome, they shouldn't be completely helpless. Chen Ling planned to test them first. If they really had no means to get away, he could only help secretly, at least letting them escape the disaster of being sacrifices.

But Chen Ling didn't expect Zheng Ye to actually be so serious, directly giving him an "instrument of torture" in public, making it clear that Chen Ling had to interrogate these few people seriously.

The position of the bonfire was right in the center of the village, many Scarlet Heaven Cultists could see it. If he didn't hit them, it would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion...

Now this was putting Chen Ling on the spot, hitting was wrong, and not hitting was also wrong.

Chen Ling let out a long sigh in his heart.

At the same time, the palm hidden in his sleeve rubbed lightly. The small stone he prepared long ago suddenly swapped with the keys in Zheng Ye's pocket. Those were the stone lock keys that locked Jian Changsheng and the others.

After finishing all this, Chen Ling silently carried the Thorn Whip, walking towards the bonfire.

Jian Changsheng sat silently at the edge of the bonfire, his head lowered. His gloomy eyes seemed to be sizing up the gravel on the ground, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Sun Bumian at the side silently exchanged a glance with Jiang Xiaohua, both their expressions somewhat complex.

"What should we do? He seems quite sad?"

Sun Bumian leaned into Jiang Xiaohua's ear, whispering.

How would Jiang Xiaohua understand how to comfort people? He just shook his head blankly, one hand rubbing the heavy stone lock worn on his body, asking probingly:

"How about, I directly shatter this thing... and bring him to fight our way out? Will he be happy?"

"I feel like, he shouldn't be sad because of being trapped." Sun Bumian was thoughtful, the eyes behind the small Round Sunglasses revealing a shrewdness that saw through the mundane world,

"Him ah, I'm afraid he is just having a hard time getting over his own bad luck. Coming all the way here, hitting a wall everywhere, he has probably taken all the responsibility upon himself... Furthermore, sacrificing his own luck was originally to save Hearts, but now Hearts ran away, and he is tripped up here because of his own bad luck, his heart is inevitably both anxious and angry... Back and forth, he is stuck in an infinite loop."

Jiang Xiaohua seemed to not quite understand, just blindly nodding:

"Oh... Then I'll bring him to fight our way out? Will he be happy?"

"Probably not, he will only feel even more that he is trash, a deadweight."

"Then what should we do?"

Sun Bumian let out a long sigh, his whole person leaning against the stone rampart, looking at the narrow and long cliff sky, speaking leisurely: "... Let nature take its course."

Jiang Xiaohua said "oh", and also lay flat on the ground doing nothing, motionless.

Unknown how much time passed,

Jack of Diamonds's resentful voice rang out again by their ears:

"No... I'm busy to death trying to save you guys and get you out of trouble, how come you guys are so leisurely?"

A trace of vitality recovered in Jian Changsheng's hollow eyes. He recovered his senses, asking eagerly, "How is the situation?"

"There is an Archbishop and two red-robed Bishops holding the fort in the village. Relying on brute force to charge out is almost impossible. But I investigated the soil quality underground this village. Although it's on a cliff, it isn't as hard as imagined... I've already planned an underground escape route, which can directly lead from here to the outside of the village. But wanting to dig through will still take time."

"About how long?"

"At least until late at night."

Sun Bumian frowned tightly, "But didn't they just say, they will activate the Sacrificial Rite? What if it's too late?"

"We can only take a gamble." As Jack of Diamonds spoke, a small green seedling respectively emerged from the soil under the trio, drilling into the stone locks like small snakes,

"The stone locks on your bodies are not a problem. Give me some time, and I can replicate the keys. In the worst case scenario, we can only fight them head-on."

As the small green seedlings drilled into the stone locks, Jian Changsheng and the other two could vaguely feel the heavy chains on their bodies vibrating. Just as they were about to ask something, Jack of Diamonds suddenly spoke vigilantly:

"Someone is coming!"

Jian Changsheng frowned, looking up forward.

He only saw a figure wearing the red robe of the Scarlet Heaven Cult, currently holding a ferociously-shaped Thorn Whip in hand, slowly walking towards here.

Seeing that long whip, Sun Bumian's heart skipped a beat,

"The comer does not come with good intentions ah..."

Jian Changsheng stared dead-on at that Scarlet Heaven Cultist, depression and anger surging up in his heart, directly speaking coldly: "What is there to be afraid of, whatever methods they have, just come directly at me!"

"!" Sun Bumian immediately moved his butt, silently sitting behind Jian Changsheng, giving him a thumbs up, "Loyal!"

Jian Changsheng: ...

Seeing Chen Ling walking over carrying the Thorn Whip, the two or three Scarlet Heaven Cultists occasionally passing by around also conveniently looked here, gloating as if watching a show.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd around him, Chen Ling kept a cold face, slowly standing still in front of the bonfire.

Crack——!!

Chen Ling violently swung the Thorn Whip at the air. The sharp whip head tore through the air emitting an explosive sound, giving the other Scarlet Heaven Cultists and the Jian Changsheng trio a jump, the momentum incomparably fierce!

Jian Changsheng's face turned a bit pale. Jiang Xiaohua lying on the side also silently moved his body, hiding behind Jian Changsheng.

"Speak." Chen Ling said indifferently. "Who instructed you to attack here?"

Jian Changsheng trio: ?

"Wasn't it your Archbishop who caught us halfway? How did it become us attacking you again?" Although Jian Changsheng's face was pale, his momentum wasn't weak at all, speaking sternly.

"It's extremely far here from the Human Domains. Perfectly fine, what are you coming here for?! There must be a conspiracy!!!"

"We were originally going to the Integration Faction! Just got lost halfway..." As Jian Changsheng spoke, he abruptly woke up to reality, immediately asking back fiercely, "What am I going to do, on what basis should I tell you?!"

Integration Faction?

What are they going to the Integration Faction for?

Hearing these three words, Chen Ling's heart slightly stirred, a thought suddenly appearing in his mind...

Are they looking for me?

The 6-series generation has usually had no interaction with the Integration Faction. Unless they received a mission, otherwise they basically wouldn't go all the way to the Integration Faction. But if there was a mission related to the Integration Faction, the Dusk Society should have assigned it to Fusionist members. No matter what, it wouldn't be the turn of these three newcomers to step forward.

So the only possibility, could only be coming to look for him...

Thinking of this layer, the disguised fierce ruthlessness in Chen Ling's eyes began to shake. He looked at Jian Changsheng baring his fangs like a vicious dog in front of him, for a time not knowing what was best to do...

At the same time, the few Scarlet Heaven Cultists watching from afar saw Jian Changsheng's reaction, one after another revealing smiles of watching a good show.

Chen Ling realized that he had already asked two questions in a row, and Jian Changsheng and the others seemed to have no intention of cooperating. Under the watchful eyes of the Scarlet Heaven Cult, he had to take action.

Chen Ling gritted his teeth, tightly gripping the Thorn Whip in his hand, raising it high...
