Chapter 1166: Recovered more than half

~7 min read 1,269 words

Then he turned and left, unwilling to waste any more time. Liu Tian was unwilling to reveal the mastermind, so he could only look for other ways.

Liu Tian was detained in the military camp; his wounds had recovered more than half, but he could not move around freely and could only recuperate in the room. Although his wounds had recovered, his essence and spirit were greatly damaged. He dared not rashly circulate his energy to heal, lest he trigger inner demons.

Gu Yi came to the military camp and, seeing Liu Tian lying on the bed resting, asked straightforwardly: "We already know your identity, how much longer do you intend to hide it?"

Liu Tian opened his eyes suddenly; he had not expected Gu Yi to find him in the military camp. But he was someone accustomed to big scenes, and he calmed down quickly. He looked up at Gu Yi and said indifferently: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You don't need to understand; anyway, I came here today to make you speak." Gu Yi said with a cold smile.

"I already said, I won't speak." Liu Tian refused without hesitation; he knew he could not expose his identity, as that would be very disadvantageous to his plan, so he firmly would not admit it.

"Unappreciative!" Gu Yi's eyes narrowed into slits; he looked at Liu Tian and said with a cold smile: "You won't speak, right? Fine, then you can slowly enjoy it."

Gu Yi finished speaking and turned to walk outside; he prepared to find someone else to interrogate.

"Wait!" Liu Tian suddenly called out. Anxiety flashed in his eyes; he knew Gu Yi meant what he said, and if he didn't confess now, he would likely suffer even more cruel punishment. Liu Tian wanted to live; he could not watch his compatriots suffer such punishment.

"I will speak..." Liu Tian took a deep breath and said: "What do you want to know?"

"You know."

Liu Tian looked at Gu Yi, his lips moving, but in the end, he said nothing. Liu Tian understood that Gu Yi was deliberately making him personally say who the mastermind was. He was not stupid, nor did he have the courage to betray the organization, but he also understood that if he didn't reveal the mastermind, he would certainly die.

Gu Yi did not mind Liu Tian not cooperating with him; he smiled indifferently. He walked to Liu Tian, extended his right hand into a fist, and smashed it fiercely toward Liu Tian's head.

"Ah..." Liu Tian let out a heart-rending howl, blood seeping from his forehead.

Liu Tian covered his forehead, looking at Gu Yi in disbelief; he had not expected Gu Yi to actually strike.

Gu Yi withdrew his hand and snorted: "Remember the torture you are suffering now; I am only giving you a small lesson. If you don't confess again, I will break every bone in your body!"

Liu Tian looked at Gu Yi, his eyes filled with hatred; he gritted his teeth and roared: "I won't speak, unless I die!"

"Very good, very tough!" Gu Yi clapped his hands and said: "Since you are so tough, I won't be polite either."

Having said that, Gu Yi shouted toward the door: "Someone come, drag him in for me!"

Just as Gu Yi finished speaking, several guards immediately rushed in, lifted Liu Tian up, and dragged him out.

Liu Tian's body was thrown to the ground, and he groaned in pain, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Gu Yi looked down at Liu Tian from above and said: "You all go down first."

Several guards nodded and retreated.

Liu Tian looked at Gu Yi, glaring at him through gritted teeth. He hated Gu Yi to the core; he wished he could kill Gu Yi to avenge himself. But Liu Tian understood that he simply couldn't do it. His wounds were too severe; even if he escaped the military camp now, it would be difficult for him to have any possibility of survival.

"You don't need to look at me like that." Gu Yi smiled and said: "Because you won't have a chance in this lifetime."

Liu Tian ignored Gu Yi, staring fixedly at him, flames of anger flashing in his eyes.

Gu Yi walked to Liu Tian, bent down, leaned close to him, and said with a smile: "I advise you not to struggle in vain anymore, because you will never escape my palm in this lifetime."

"Hmph!" Liu Tian snorted coldly; his complexion turned even paler, and his eyes became turbid. His lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing, closing his eyes and falling into a coma.

Gu Yi looked at Liu Tian's state and smiled coldly. This idiot actually wanted to protect his companions with his death; it was simply foolish to the extreme.

"Drag him away and deal with him." Gu Yi ordered.

Soon, Liu Tian was taken away. Gu Yi walked to the window, looking outside with a gloomy expression; after a long while, he slowly spat out two words: "Eastern Wu..."

Liu Tian was dragged into the dungeon. This time, Gu Yi did not send Liu Tian to the prison; he took Liu Tian to a quiet room. Gu Yi sat in a chair, looking at Liu Tian standing opposite him, and sneered: "Where are your companions? Where are they now?"

Liu Tian shook his head and said: "I don't know where they are either."

A flash of surprise appeared in Gu Yi's gaze; he furrowed his brows and asked: "You all live in the Imperial City, if not here, then where else could your accomplices run to?"

Liu Tian was silent for a moment, then said: "That is our business, it has nothing to do with you!"

Gu Yi furrowed his brows slightly, coldness appearing in his eyes. He stood up, looked at Liu Tian, and said: "Very good, no matter where your companions are, I will catch them and hack them into ten thousand pieces!"

"Hehe." Hearing Gu Yi's threat, Liu Tian couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Yi's complexion was uncertain; his fingers tapped on the table, seemingly considering something.

"Fine, I promise you, but I hope you will also keep your promise and let him go." Liu Tian looked at Gu Yi and said earnestly.

Gu Yi looked at Liu Tian for a long time before slowly nodding and saying: "Fine! I can promise you, but you must also keep your promise!"

Liu Tian smiled and said: "I keep my word!"

"That's good." A satisfied smile appeared in Gu Yi's eyes; he walked to Liu Tian and said: "There is nothing for us to talk about; just wait to be executed by slow slicing."

Liu Tian did not respond to him, but lowered his head. His heart already had its own ideas; if he could escape from this place, he would do his utmost to survive at any cost.

"Someone come, serve him well!" Gu Yi waved his hand and said.

Immediately, guards carrying wooden buckets and water walked into the room. These guards looked like well-trained soldiers in the military camp; each of them held sharp daggers, and they were wearing armor, the badges on their chests and the nameplates on their shoulders indicating they were elites among the Imperial Guards.

"I know you are all elites among the Imperial Guards, but I believe that as long as I am willing, your lives can disappear at any time!" Gu Yi looked at Liu Tian and said coldly. ===== CHAPTER 1167 =====
