431: Interrogation

The Celestial Prison was the place where the Great Tang detained heinous criminals, including, but not limited to, those great villains who brought disaster to the country and the people!

After the Great Tang was drawn into the vortex of this mythical world, a new space was opened up beneath the Celestial Prison. The Si Tian Jian filled this space with various Magic Treasures for suppression, along with all kinds of runes.

It could be said that for this underground prison, regardless of what kind of god, immortal, or demon it was, unless they were at or above the Realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, or were some rare great demons, once they entered, it was basically a death sentence.

Tang Ku did not bring anyone else here; in fact, he did not want others to see his current state.

Alone, carrying a full body of Killing Intent, Tang Ku walked into this dungeon.

The cells lining both sides were actually covered by some kind of transparent, crystal-like dome. Each cell held about a dozen people, their magic powers completely suppressed. Even if they were to walk out of their cell doors, they would be suppressed and killed by other Magic Treasures in the dungeon.

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at those dejected fellows, and scanned the area.

Among them, some looked up at Tang Ku and couldn't help but smile disdainfully, while others looked at their companions with worried faces. Hardly anyone spoke.

Among the hundreds of people, there was one person who was quite different.

This guy looked like an ordinary person, dressed like a wealthy squire. Three strands of a long beard hung down his chest. He looked completely devoid of any dejection; instead, he sized up Tang Ku with cold eyes and gave a heavy snort through his nose.

"Hehe..."

With a trace of a cold smile, Tang Ku violently ripped off the glass-crystal-like door, walked into the cell, and grabbed the fellow. He said in a deep voice, "Listen, my mood isn't very good, so I will only ask you a question once. If you don't answer after that one time, you will definitely regret it... So, do you understand?"

This man was grabbed by the collar and did not resist at all, but the stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat on his face were very obvious.

"Very good, with a cold smile in your eyes, you're a real man..."

Tang Ku laughed, his laugh very sinister, and said, "First question... Who... sent you to Chang'an?"

"Hmph!"

This man turned his head away disdainfully and sneered, "Kill me! Even if I am reduced to ashes and my Dao is extinguished, I will not tell you a single piece of information!"

"Hmm, you've got guts!"

Tang Ku nodded, "I forgot to tell you one thing. Just a short while ago, I killed someone in the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom... Hmm, to be precise, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! I even strangled her soul... Hmm, you should know that person; she is the Lunar Star Lord who has long resided in the Moon Palace... Hehe, don't look at me with such terrified eyes, maybe I'll soften my heart... Hmm, the question I ask you, I won't ask a second time, so I will kill you first, and then go ask the next one... I won't have any feelings of guilt, because your few lives are simply not enough to repay the millions of lives in the Daughter's Country... Even if I kill all of you, it actually doesn't matter to me; it's just a bit more effort anyway... I'll just treat it as pure venting..."

As he spoke, Tang Ku had already raised his fist. His tone was actually very calm, but the Killing Intent beneath that calmness terrified the person in front of him. He wanted to struggle, wanted to escape, but it was to no avail. He regretted it and stammered, "I... we are subordinates of the Nine Luminaries Star Lords. It was... it was a mission sent down by the Thunder God Puhua Tianzun, letting us come to investigate the true situation of Chang'an City..."

Tang Ku laughed, and then without hesitation, blasted his head into pieces with one punch. Even his soul was grabbed over and crushed to pieces. It could be considered fulfilling his oath of being reduced to ashes.

The remaining nine people in this cell shivered, and they heard Tang Ku muttering to himself, "Now that you think of wanting to speak, isn't it a bit too late? I said, for the same question, I only ask once..."

Saying this, Tang Ku turned his gaze to the remaining nine people.

These nine were scared almost to the point of wetting themselves. With a thud, they all knelt on the ground together, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and said in a jumble, "You ask, you ask, we will tell you everything we know without holding anything back..."

This monk was too terrifying. Come to think of it, being killed on the battlefield was one thing; at that time, blood surged, and one didn't care about anything, so there was basically no great feeling about death.

But this tangible death was placed right in front of them, and looking at the situation, this evil monk had no intention of showing mercy at all. When he said he would kill, he really meant it, the kind that was completely decisive.

This fear of waiting for death was simply something they could not bear, even if they were also members of the Heavenly Court.

"Hmm, very good, I hope you won't repeat the same mistakes!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Second question, who among you will answer?"

"I... I will!"

On the far right, a guy dressed like a woodcutter raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Is it... as long as I speak, I will... I will..."

"You won't have to die!"

Tang Ku asked expressionlessly, "Who gave the order to slaughter the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom?"

"This... actually I... I... am not very clear!"

The man laughed awkwardly.

"Hmm?"

Tang Ku's voice was low as he stared fixedly at him, "Is that true?"

"Thud!"

This guy was scared into kneeling on the ground again and said, "I am not clear on the specifics, but at the time, it was the Taiyi Relief-from-Suffering Heavenly Lord who ordered the crusade against the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom. However, the Heavenly Lord did not say what to do with the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom, only that we had to find a way to occupy it! Hmm, the one leading the team was the Lunar Star Lord who has already been killed by you... Hmm, I think... I think..."

"Oh, you mean that Lunar Star Lord acted on her own initiative?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"Yes, yes, yes... that's exactly what I mean!"

The man nodded hurriedly.

Tang Ku fell silent and thought to himself, "It is possible. The Lunar Star Lord has a grudge against me, and I have cut off their retreat for stealing the Luck of the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom, so it is only natural that the woman hates me... Hehe, however... her actions are equivalent to harming everyone left alive in the entire Heavenly Court!"

"What is your specific mission for infiltrating Chang'an? Don't try to fob me off with things like gathering intelligence... This, you will answer!"

Tang Ku pointed to the second person on the right and said.

"I... we did not receive specific orders. Those above sent us here to lie low and wait for the next instructions before acting!"

The man replied hurriedly.

"No, no, the order I received is different!"

The first person on the left suddenly shook his head and said, "The Nine Luminaries Star Lords personally ordered me to secretly infiltrate the imperial palace and strive to become a favorite minister of Your Highness... Hmm, to wait for an opportunity to steal the imperial jade seal!"

"Swish! All eyes were fixed on that face. Tang Ku suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him, saying, "Who... which immortal god are you?"
