Chapter 125: I’ll Tell You Everything If You Don’t Torture me!

Song Yuansi looked away with difficulty. He looked excited and conflicted.
He knew what kind of ancient object the terrifying big shot at the City Lord Manor wanted. It was probably something strange and containing ancient secrets like the sculpture in front of him.
If he could offer such an antique, he would definitely be rewarded generously!
At the thought of that young man with terrifying strength, Song Yuansi’s heart burned.
A priceless Blood Energy precious medicine, a mysterious martial arts secret technique, and an incomparably precious Spirit Transformation Fruit that was difficult to find even if one had a lot of money…
For a moment, Song Yuansi even had the thought of killing and s.n.a.t.c.hing things.
However, in the end, he still said firmly, “Deal! However, you have to give me some time!”
Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged, but he was overjoyed in his heart. The man really agreed?
“Mr. Song, I’ll hand over the goods when you give me the money.
“Don’t worry, I know which families have the most Spirit Marrows. I’ll be back soon.”
Watching Song Yuansi leave quickly, Lin Yan’s heart became more active.
It was obvious that there was a lot of Spirit Marrow in Ding’an City.
If they all valued the ancient items in the ruins so much, wouldn’t he be rich?!
As long as he had enough Spirit Marrows, he could rob all the ruins in the poisonous fog!
“There’s also the ruins from before. I wonder if the poisonous fog has dissipated or if the place has collapsed. I missed it!”
Lin Yan’s heart ached. He made up his mind to go back and take a look later.
After chatting with Chen Yuan and Elder Xu for a while, Lin Yan benefited greatly. He even took out the words on the plaque that he had copied in the palace temple and asked Elder Xu.
“These words are the G.o.ddess Temple. It seems that the ruins you entered worship the two sculptures you mentioned.”
G.o.ddess Temple…
What kind of woman would be called a G.o.ddess?
For a moment, Lin Yan thought of the three women on the mural, Xiaozhi, and many other things.
About an hour later, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Song Yuansi return alone from afar.
Although the probability was low, he was still prepared to escape in case Song Yuansi went to find someone to attack him.
A bag of Spirit Marrows woven with golden threads was handed to Lin Yan. “Deal!”
Lin Yan picked one up and took a look. It was smaller than the ones he obtained from the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches, but the Golden Bodhi Scripture vibrated. It was indeed the Spirit Marrow.
“Happy cooperation!”
Lin Yan happily put away the Spirit Marrow. Seeing that Song Yuansi was covered in dust, he said, “Mr. Song, if I bring some more things over…”
“I’ll take them!” Song Yuansi said firmly. “I’ll take as many as you have!”
“Okay!”
Although Lin Yan’s heart was burning, he did not lose his mind, especially since the person standing behind Song Yuansi was an extremely dangerous young man.
Therefore, he did not plan to continue selling. It was best if he could find more things and acc.u.mulate them to sell them all at once.
After bidding farewell to Song Yuansi, Lin Yan left the Song family’s camp and headed for the poisonous fog mountain.
After running for about fifteen minutes, Lin Yan suddenly stopped for a moment before continuing forward as if nothing had happened.
However, his slightly lowered eyes were already filled with dark clouds and he frowned.
Someone was following him!
The stalker was definitely an experienced man. Lin Yan didn’t know where the man started following him.
It was not until just now that Lin Yan sensed something. Then, he deliberately stopped in a probing manner, causing the other party’s footsteps to be chaotic before giving himself away.
When did he follow behind?
After leaving the Song family’s camp, Lin Yan had been living in wasteland. It was very likely that this person had followed him from the Song family’s camp!
Was the man sent by Song Yuansi?
Or was he from the Void Fist Sect?
They both had good reason to send someone to follow him. Who could it be?
Lin Yan controlled the direction intentionally or unintentionally and quickly turned into a dense forest near the poisonous fog. He could see the poisonous fog a thousand feet ahead from afar. He could attack or retreat.
Only then did he stop and turn around. “Friend behind me! You’ve been following me for so long. Aren’t you coming out?
“Or do you want to hide forever?”
With that, Lin Yan stared behind him.
Not long after, the bushes behind him swayed and parted, and an ordinary young man with a round face walked out.
He was in his early twenties and was wearing extremely ordinary clothes. He looked similar to the villagers and would not be recognized if he was thrown into the crowd.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see waves of divine light converging in his eyes, vaguely revealing a temperament that was different from ordinary people.
The round-faced young man scratched his hair and asked curiously, “How did you discover me?”
Lin Yan didn’t answer and said in a low voice, “Who are you? You’ve been following me for so long. What do you want?”
The round-faced man smiled kindly like a round marmot, revealing his white teeth. “Don’t misunderstand, friend. I’ve been following you ever since you left the Song family camp. I just followed you. I don’t have any ill intentions towards you.”
“You call this not having any ill intentions?” Lin Yan was slightly stunned, unable to react.
The round-faced man had a matter-of-fact expression, as if that was what he thought. He smiled foolishly. “I really don’t! You didn’t break the rules. 1 don’t want to capture you or deal with you. I just followed you and observed you. I really don’t have any malice!”
Lin Yan:
This was the first time Lin Yan had heard of such a thing, but looking at the round-faced man’s expression, the guy didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Pretending to be stupid?
A cold glint flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes, and a kind smile appeared on his face. “I see…”
Before he could finish speaking, the force under his feet suddenly erupted, and a huge pit instantly opened in the ground. His body was like a black lightning as he suddenly approached the round-faced young man.
“Hey! What are you doing!”
The round-faced youth shouted. His body suddenly floated as if he was pulled by an invisible rope. He suddenly moved horizontally, and his movements were elegant, causing Lin Yan to miss.
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed. This speed was even faster than his!
He took another step, and with a bang, another pit appeared in the ground. Lin Yan pounced at the young man like an evil tiger.
The young man was like a ghost as he dodged Lin Yan again.
The two of them chased and fled. They grabbed and dodged. Their movements were so fast that they were dazzling. Their speed was extremely fast.
However, no matter how Lin Yan chased after him, he couldn’t even touch the corner of the round-faced youth’s clothes.
Moreover, every time he moved, he would make a big move, causing the entire ground to explode.
However, the round-faced youth’s movements were very gentle and fleeting. He easily dodged Lin Yan’s pounce as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
A trace of shock flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. He could vaguely tell that this young man’s strength was only at the Tough Realm, but his speed was actually faster than him, who specialized in the Dragon-Shaped Fist!
“Stop chasing me! I really don’t have any ill intentions… Besides, you can’t catch up to me! Why bother!”
The round-faced man muttered as he dodged easily.
Can’t catch up?’
Lin Yan sneered. When the pounce ended, his entire body suddenly shook violently. A strong aura burst out, and layers of force were injected into his legs.
At the level of injuring both the enemy and himself, the double force of Thousand Pound Break erupted!
In the next moment, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared!
The round-faced man’s expression changed drastically.
However, Lin Yan was too fast!
He tried his best to dodge to the side and suddenly felt a claw that was like a pincer grab his shoulder. Then, like a lion pouncing on his face, he was directly sent flying by a huge force. He rolled into a gourd and fell into the bushes.
Before he could regain his senses, the numb tendons on his right elbow were firmly grabbed. A knee that was like a mountain pressed against his back and pressed him firmly to the ground.
Lin Yan’s other hand exerted force and covered the back of the round-faced man’s head.
There was a hint of danger in his eyes. “I ask, you answer. If you don’t answer well, your head will be removed.”
The confusion on the round-faced man’s face had yet to fade. Feeling the terrifying force behind his head that was like needles, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was pale. “Friend, brother, big brother! Spare me!”
“Who are you?”
The round-faced man’s lips trembled. “My name is Fan Xiaopeng. I’m 25 years old this year. I live on Red Eucalyptus Street. I have an old mother and father, and two younger sisters. They’re only a little more than ten years old…”
“Playing tricks?” Lin Yan pressed Fan Xiaopeng’s head into the ground and made him eat a mouthful of soil before raising it again.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft. I, I’m not scheming! I’m really Fan Xiaopeng!”
“Who sent you? Song Yuansi, or the Void Fist Sect?”
“Neither! No one sent me. I followed you myself!”
“By yourself? Do you think I’m a fool?”
“It’s true! I just feel that you’re very strong at such a young age, so I followed you to take a look. I’m curious, purely curious!”
“Strong… In that case, you saw me at the Song family’s camp last time?”
Fan Xiaopeng’s face froze. “Big Brother is really amazing. You guessed it right!”
A member of the Song family? No!
Lin Yan frowned slightly. Of course, he wouldn’t believe Fan Xiaopeng’s nonsense. He didn’t even know if this name was true.
However, when he heard Fan Xiaopeng’s tone, he felt that it was very awkward. It was not a problem with the guy’s accent, but his tone and demeanor… There was a sense of incompatibility.
Furthermore, with this kid’s Tough Realm strength, he could surpa.s.s Lin Yan in speed!
Such terrifying talent and strength did not seem like people from the Song family or the Void Fist Sect.
“It seems that you won’t be able to speak properly if you don’t suffer a little.”
Lin Yan grabbed the back of Fan Xiaopeng’s neck and lifted him up. He walked into the poisonous fog step by step.
“If you don’t tell the truth, I can only throw you into the poisonous fog. This poisonous fog is extremely powerful. Without an antidote, the person who is poisoned will die in extreme pain.”
The more Lin Yan spoke, the paler Fan Xiaopeng’s face became. His face was trembling as he nodded crazily like a chick pecking at rice. “Even if I don’t suffer, I’ll speak properly! Brother! I’ll really tell you properly. I’ll answer whatever you ask and won’t hide it from you! Just ask!”
Lin Yan turned a deaf ear and left with Fan Xiaopeng.
This kid was pretending to be crazy and making jokes. If Lin Yan didn’t give him any serious threats, he would really think that he was smart.
Lin Yan did not speed up and walked steadily towards the poisonous fog.
For the first hundred steps, Fan Xiaopeng was still talking non-stop. His eyes darted left and right as he joked.
When it was the second hundred steps and he saw that Lin Yan was ignoring him, he finally panicked completely. His heart was about to jump out of his chest and his entire body began to tremble.
“Stop! Stop! You can’t hurt me. If you hurt me, there will be terrible consequences. You can’t bear it!”
“Really, believe me! My status is very extraordinary. If you really hurt me, you’ll definitely be the unlucky one in the end!”
“Big Brother, Grandpa! I’m begging you! I’ll definitely tell you if I can. There are some things 1 really can’t say!”
Lin Yan didn’t stop walking and sneered. “You admit that you were not being honest?!”
“Brother, stop quickly. Ouch, I’ve touched the poisonous fog. Stop, stop, I can’t breathe!”
In the end, when Lin Yan carried him to the poisonous fog.
Fan Xiaopeng wailed, “Boohoo! 1 don’t want to die! Ah Hua, Ah Mei, I miss you so much!
Boohoo, I’m only 22 years old, and I’m still so young. Boohoo, come and save me!”
Lin Yan:”…”
Twenty-two years old? He just said that he was twenty-five!
As expected, this kid was dishonest and had been acting this whole time!
However, even now, when they were about to approach the poisonous fog, this kid still shut his mouth tightly. He clearly knew what Lin Yan wanted to hear, but he refused to say it. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, but his mouth was still very tough.
How should he put it…
Both cowardly and unyielding.
Lin Yan sighed slightly. It seemed like he couldn’t get anything out of him. Forget it, he would kill him first.
Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded.
“Yo, yo, yo.. Little Master Peng, who usually provokes chickens and dogs and is hated by everybody, why are you howling like this today? How rare!”
