5: Chapter 5 Blood God Cult Spy? Am I being framed?

Immediately, a Zhenwu Guard picked up the whip on the ground and was about to strike.

At this moment, another Zhenwu Guard, who still had some conscience, stopped him.

"Little Zhang, if you let this whip fall, you'll probably send this kid to the afterlife."

"Wait, let me splash some water on him first."

"No, then continue the punishment."

Hearing this, the Zhenwu Guard surnamed Zhang stopped his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao De hurriedly scrambled to fetch a basin of water and splashed it heavily onto Gu Han's face.

Only in this way could he reduce the possibility of Gu Han being tortured by the Zhenwu Guard.

The cold water poured down, drenching him; Gu Han's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a suppressed groan escaped his throat.

"You're acting quite well!"

Captain Ma crouched down, his eyes staring viciously at Gu Han.

At this moment, Gu Han was extremely weak.

After the System plundered the Lifespan of Li Yi and the middle-aged man, Gu Han thought nothing would happen.

However, when he went out to seek help, a mysterious suction force suddenly emanated from within his body.

It instantly drained more than half of his Qi and blood, causing him to fall into a coma immediately.

At the same time, before losing consciousness, Gu Han clearly felt that a lot of his life essence had seemingly slipped away into the void.

"Cough, cough!"

Gu Han coughed several times in succession, coughing out the water in his nasal cavity.

He struggled to lift his eyelids.

Seeing this, Captain Ma coldly questioned him.

"Retell what just happened to me."

"If there is any concealment, today will be your memorial day."

"Cough, cough!"

A cough tinged with blood spilled from Gu Han's throat, and he forced himself to sit up.

He looked at Captain Ma's sinister eyes, revealing an extremely weak state.

"Replying to you, my Lord, after I entered the interrogation room, Lord Li Yi ordered me to whip this prisoner."

Gu Han's voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

"My body is weak, and my strength is too small, so after whipping him a few times, I was scolded by Lord Li."

"Immediately after, Lord Li kicked me away, took the whip, and tortured the prisoner himself."

"Unexpectedly, the prisoner suddenly opened his eyes, scaring Lord Li so much that he wet his pants."

When Gu Han's voice fell, the other Zhenwu Guards held back their laughter, not daring to laugh out loud for fear of offending Captain Ma.

At the same time, the corners of Captain Ma's mouth twitched a few times; evidently, he was shamed by Li Yi's cowardice.

"Shut up."

"Li Yi is a Zhenwu Guard reserve; would he be scared paralyzed by a prisoner's gaze?"

Captain Ma was about to raise his hand to strike down.

After all, Li Yi was one of his brothers-in-law; his making a fool of himself was equivalent to Captain Ma making a fool of himself.

Seeing this, Gu Han hurriedly lowered his head and said tremblingly.

"I have nothing to hide; every word is true."

"I beg your Lordship to see the truth."

Seeing Gu Han like this, with so many people present, Captain Ma could only lower his raised hand.

Moreover, Li Yi's crotch indeed had a heavy smell of urine.

"Continue."

"Yes, my Lord!"

"After Lord Li reacted, he immediately went up to administer punishment."

"At this moment, the prisoner stretched out a hand, I don't know when, grabbed Lord Li's neck, and slammed Lord Li heavily against the wall."

"I was scared by the scene before my eyes and collapsed to the ground."

"The prisoner ignored me and continued to use his Qi to shrink his bones and break free from the iron chains."

"Fortunately, after a moment of regulating his breath, Lord Li recovered quite a bit."

"Consequently, Lord Li immediately drew his sword and went up to execute the prisoner."

"While struggling with the prisoner, Lord Li was again sent flying by a palm strike from the prisoner."

"Seeing this, I was about to run out to call for help."

"But the prisoner had already broken free."

"I was terrified, so I hurriedly drew my own saber and held it in front of me."

"I don't know what happened, but the prisoner just fell to the ground and died."

"A moment later, seeing that the prisoner was not moving, I ran out."

"After that, I fainted, and I don't know anything else."

After saying this, Gu Han looked at Captain Ma with a panicked gaze.

Looking at Gu Han's eyes, Captain Ma also generally believed Gu Han's account.

After all, as a Captain of the Zhenwu Guard, Ma Yong was still confident that these menial workers before him could not escape his investigation, and could lie under his nose without revealing any flaws.

However, Ma Yong still needed to give an account to his superiors.

After all, if a Blood God Cult member was imprisoned and not discovered, his superiors would certainly blame him.

Moreover, it was he who had sent Li Yi to interrogate the prisoner.

Simply put, he would brand Gu Han as a Blood God Cult spy and shift the responsibility away.

Then, relying on his backer, he would be able to cover up this matter.

Thinking of this, Ma Yong suddenly looked at Gu Han viciously.

"You Blood God Cult spy!"

"You harmed a Zhenwu Guard!"

"Today, I shall eliminate the evil and uphold the Dao!"

After saying this, he was about to strike immediately to kill Gu Han, not giving him a chance to speak.

Just as Ma Yong's palm was about to land on Gu Han.

A mocking voice came from outside the interrogation room.

"Captain Ma, what great official authority you have!"

"What a good scheme."

"Shifting the whole matter onto a tiny Jailer."

"Wonderful!"

"Truly wonderful beyond words."

As the voice fell, a man wearing a black Zhenwu Guard uniform with silver edges stepped in, with a silver token hanging at his waist as well.

The newcomer swept a glance at the corpse on the ground, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Using private punishment on this menial worker, could it be that the Sky Prison is Captain Ma's private place?"

Captain Ma's pupils shrank, and he instantly stopped channeling his Qi and withdrew his palm.

Then, he looked at the newcomer with an unhappy expression.

"Lord Zhang, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I have always been impartial in handling cases."

"Even if it reaches the Commander, I have a clear conscience."

Although he was stubborn, Ma Yong knew that since his arch-rival had appeared, framing Gu Han would likely be impossible.

Lord Zhang paced to the front of Gu Han, examined him carefully, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"How is it that the 'Blood God Cult spy' in Captain Ma's mouth looks like a menial worker who is about to breathe his last?"

"Moreover, this little menial worker has done no wrong, yet he still has to take the blame for Captain Ma's brother-in-law."

"Captain Ma, where is your impartiality?"

At this time, the newcomer's fingertips suddenly pressed against Gu Han's pulse, and he raised an eyebrow under Captain Ma's suspicious gaze.

"Captain Ma, look at this pulse; it is clearly the sign of a near-death state with exhausted Qi and blood."

"Where is there any strength of a spy?"

"No matter how stupid the Blood God Cult is, it is impossible for them to send such a person to go undercover."

"Moreover, this kid's ancestors have always been Jailers in the Sky Prison, and his background is clean."

He let go of his hand, and Gu Han collapsed as a result.

Ma Yong was choked red in the face by these words, but he could not find a suitable reason to refute them.

He could only grit his teeth until they rattled, glaring at Gu Han with hatred, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

The newcomer seemed to notice the chill in Ma Yong's eyes, but he chuckled without caring in the least.

The more unhappy Ma Yong was, the happier he was.

"In my opinion, we should request a merit award for this little menial worker."

"To highlight the fairness and impartiality of our Zhenwu Guard."

Hearing this, Ma Yong immediately looked at the newcomer with a face full of anger.

After a moment, Ma Yong suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Lord Zhang, if you want to request a merit award for the little Jailer, I will follow your lead."

"However, I will definitely report this matter to the Commander and let him make the judgment."

"Let's go!"

Knowing that staying any longer would only result in being mocked by Captain Zhang.

Ma Yong immediately ordered his men to carry Li Yi and leave this place.

Watching Ma Yong leave, Captain Zhang's smile deepened.

He turned to look at Gu Han for a few moments, then looked at Zhao De.

"Old Zhao, is this kid Old Gu's only son?"

"Lord Zhang, he is."

Zhao De hurriedly spoke up to answer for Gu Han.

Captain Zhang's words made Gu Han shudder, and he suddenly looked up at Captain Zhang.

"My Lord, did you know my father?"

"You could say we knew each other!"

Captain Zhang gave a vague answer.
