522: Chapter 522 Find the Hidden Person

“Is there a way to find it?” Oriental Chen asked.

“It’s very difficult, but I’ll try,” Ling Luo replied.

“Alright, try to keep the commotion to a minimum,” Oriental Chen said.

“Then how should we handle my Martial Uncle here?” Ling Luo asked.

“You decide,” Oriental Chen didn't believe he could pry anything useful out of his Martial Uncle's mouth.

“Understood.”

Jingqi had already focused his attention on the floor.

Since stepping on the ground didn't cause any danger, it meant there was no defensive wall below.

“Bang~”

He struck the ground with his palm.

The ground trembled slightly from the immense impact, but other than that, there was no other reaction.

The ceiling was the same.

They were like being trapped in a giant transparent bottle, unable to escape no matter how much they struggled.

“Ling Luo, come out, let’s talk,” Jingqi gave up trying.

“I know you can hear me. I can overlook the matter with your Master, and it’s not impossible for you to return to the Holy Sect. I came here today to bring you an opportunity.”

“This is your only chance.”

“You need to think carefully. Even if I die, others will come. You should understand that as long as you’re not dead, the Holy Sect’s pursuit of you will not stop.”

Jingqi kept calling out.

But Ling Luo didn't respond.

“Ling Luo, do you want to know about your background? Do you want to know your original name?”

“Do you want to know how you were adopted by your Master?”

“Do you want to know who your biological parents are?”

Such words still didn't work.

For Ling Luo, his background held no meaning.

“I was present throughout the entire process. Tsk tsk tsk, it was tragic, truly too tragic,” Jingqi said, being mysterious.

“You might not know, but you also have a younger sister.”

“Oh, right. Your younger sister should also be of your Ling generation. Do you want to know who she is?”

“Oh dear, I forgot. You’re just a cold-blooded beast, how could you care about your younger sister?” Jingqi pretended to hold his forehead.

“Alas! What a pity! Your younger sister isn’t very bright. She actually fell for a good-for-nothing just like you. She was tricked out of her money and body, and she didn’t even realize it,” Jingqi sneered.

When Ling Luo heard he had a younger sister, he couldn't sit still.

He returned to the reception room.

“Tell me where she is, and I’ll let you go,” Ling Luo went straight to the point.

“Hahahaha~” Jingqi let out a strange laugh.

“It’s truly good to have a weakness. You can manipulate them however you want,” Jingqi laughed.

“Stop with the nonsense, my patience is limited,” Ling Luo said.

“But now I don’t feel like telling you,” Jingqi deliberately made it difficult for him.

“Do you think this will work on me? Either speak now, or never speak again,” Ling Luo didn’t fall for his trick.

“Is that so? Then you can scram!” Jingqi decisively ended the conversation.

To manipulate someone, one must know when to tighten and when to loosen the reins.

“...Alright!” Ling Luo nodded and left directly.

He instructed the staff to adjust the temperature in their room to 38 degrees Celsius.

This was the maximum temperature that could be set.

Three days later.

Jingqi had been sitting cross-legged on the ground for three full days.

The food and water in front of him hadn't been touched at all.

The three people behind him were already suffering from the heat. Now, they had stripped off all their clothes, leaving only their underwear.

They pressed their entire bodies against the ground, using this method to lower their body temperature.

So thirsty, truly so thirsty.

They stared intently at the water in front of Jingqi, constantly licking their parched lips with their tongues.

But they didn't dare to snatch it.

This time, Jingqi’s plan had gone wrong.

Within three days, Ling Luo never came again.

“Who’s there?”

“Bang bang bang~”

“Ah!”

“Thump~” The power went out.

“Clang~”

The door was pushed open, and two people walked in.

“Holy Venerable, quickly leave!”

In the dark, it was unclear who they were.

“Thump~” After a dozen seconds, the lights came back on.

The reception room was already empty.

“City Lord, quickly leave! Those four people have rushed out, their strength is too great, we can’t stop them!”

Ling Luo looked at the screen, frowning, but said nothing.

He already knew why the power went out.

In the control room, they had their people.

“Go, arrest these two people!” Ling Luo said, pointing at the two operators in the control room on the screen.

“Yes!”

Ling Luo turned and left the monitoring room.

Soon, Jingqi and the four of them reached the exit of the second basement level, just waiting for the elevator to arrive.

“Warning! Elevator malfunction, currently under repair.” Suddenly, a voice came from the loudspeaker next to the elevator.

At the same time, the operation buttons turned red.

“Bang~”

Jingqi struck the door with his palm, and the elevator door was directly shattered.

The four people, led by Jingqi, immediately jumped in.

Base exit.

“Boom~”

The elevator door was shattered from the inside, and four people filed out.

“Martial Uncle, are you leaving?” Ling Luo was already waiting outside.
