Berserk God of War-Chapter 1635: Life-and-Death Interrogation, Terrifying Ordeal
Meanwhile, behind Yao Yulou were his sister Yao Yuzhi, and his parents imprisoned in the Thousand Prison Tower...
And, of course, there was Hua Meixi!
In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, he finally reached the location summoned for him as a chess piece, which was the gate of an uninhabited armory in the Teng Mansion. When he saw the Thousand King powerhouses who had summoned him, his entire body shook violently.
It was none other than: Emperor Yu Xian, one of the Qianwang Tenth Emperors, and Venerable Yu Shan, one of the Thousand Kings and Hundreds of Venerables!
Clearly, these were the very people Pei Kuang had sent to take Sikong Jing’s head.
As he looked closer, at their feet was a woman unconscious—it was none other than Jiang Wanyou!
Seeing the woman he loved, Yao Yulou’s heart trembled completely.
He never expected that one of the terrifying Qianwang Tenth Emperors would come, nor did he expect that they had already captured Jiang Wanyou before summoning him; it was clear they came with ill intentions.
But he couldn’t show his fear, absolutely couldn’t reveal it, otherwise... he would suffer the consequences of his downfall!
He landed, and knelt down...
He bowed deeply in front of the Pei Yuxian siblings, then hoarsely said, "Yao Yulou, pays respects to Emperor Yu Xian and Venerable Yu Shan!"
His voice dared not carry the slightest tremor; he had to maintain utmost calm.
"Yao Yulou, how’s the pleasures of the tender trap?"
At this moment, a cold voice spoke; it was Pei Yushan who spoke first.
As he finished speaking, he lightly placed his foot on the unconscious Jiang Wanyou, so even as Yao Yulou knelt and bowed, he could see this scene.
Yao Yulou’s heart shook violently.
But he held firmly, striving to ensure not a trace of emotional fluctuation.
Without raising his head, Yao Yulou lowly replied, "Venerable Yu Shan, subordinate does not understand, and has never experienced any tender trap."
Of course, he knew Pei Yushan was testing him.
Now he could show no sign of being moved by Jiang Wanyou; he must act as a heartless Qianwang chess piece.
Boom...
But the next moment, just as Yao Yulou’s words fell, Pei Yushan suddenly released a terrifying burst of True Qi, squarely striking Yao Yulou, instantly sending him flying.
With a "wah," he spat out blood, his body like a cannonball.
But at this moment, that terrifying True Qi pressed straight down, forcing his airborne body back to the ground, as if trying to crush him, nearly shattering his bones.
But within just a breath, the terrifying True Qi vanished without a trace.
Yet, biting his teeth, Yao Yulou slowly climbed back up, kneeling again in front of the two without daring to move rashly, but still lowly spoke out, "Venerable Yu Shan, subordinate does not understand..."
His voice became extraordinarily dry, without the prior gentleness and politeness.
But... he couldn’t be angry, dared not be angry!
In response, Pei Yushan coldly laughed and spoke again, "You don’t understand, huh? Regardless of your current situation, just the fact that you didn’t save our dear brother 106, this punishment is reasonable."
The ’dear brother 106’ naturally referred to Pei Yuzheng, who had died in Hanluan City.
Before Yao Yulou could react, Pei Yushan coldly asked again, "Understand? Accept it?"
"Subordinate acknowledges the mistake, subordinate is willing to be punished." Yao Yulou couldn’t retort, only bowing his head to accept the punishment obediently.
After his words fell, Pei Yushan fiercely questioned, "Then tell me now, why didn’t you save Pei Yuzheng?"
In response, Yao Yulou naturally did not hesitate to explain the situation at the time, saying he was being held off by the Netherworld Guardian and didn’t expect Sikong Jing to have the audacity to activate the All City Soldiers Killing Array to kill Pei Yuzheng.
So at that time, he really couldn’t make it.
"But regardless, subordinate acknowledges the mistake." After finishing the explanation, Yao Yulou bowed his head again and admitted guilt, "Young Master Yu Zheng was killed right under my nose, this matter is undoubtedly my major fault!"
These words had been prepared long before killing Pei Yuzheng.
So now, Yao Yulou’s response had no issue to pick on; one couldn’t expect him to be omnipotent, right?
Thus, Pei Yushan temporarily let the matter go, but shifted the topic, "Do you actually think of yourself as one of Duanmu Chun’s people? Fleeing with him, slaughtering all Qianwang Holy Tower people in the Central Plains East with him, you really are capable."
It naturally referred to Yao Yulou fleeing with Sikong Jing after killing Pei Yuzheng.
And during that time, also killing all the chasers from the Qianwang Holy Tower...
"Venerable Yu Shan, this matter was out of necessity, subordinate was helpless."
"Sikong Jing and Duanmu Chun demanded it, with my position, I had no choice."
As Yao Yulou explained, Pei Yushan didn’t appear to let him off.
Instead, he fiercely questioned again, "You claim you had no choice, but can you not secretly convey information to the pursuers, telling them the entire situation? Reporting Sikong Jing and Venerable Ba Lian’s plans to our people?"
The implication was: Sikong Jing and Venerable Ba Lian did many unexpected things and Yao Yulou didn’t inform them at all.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yulou finally slowly raised his head for the first time.
He looked at Pei Yushan, who still had his foot on Jiang Wanyou, and Pei Yuxian, who hadn’t spoken yet, and replied, "With Sikong Jing’s methods, subordinate had no chance."
"Subordinate also feared exposure, and moreover..."
"The mission entrusted to subordinate by the master was solely the Evil Charm Sacred Body, in any circumstance, the Evil Charm Sacred Body takes precedence. As long as there’s even a slight risk of exposure, subordinate must not act rashly."
His voice became increasingly calm, earnestly trying to convince the other party and clear his own name!
Hearing this, Pei Yushan’s brow furrowed; he couldn’t detect any issues from Yao Yulou, indeed as Yao Yulou had said, his primary task was the Evil Charm Sacred Body.
Moreover, Sikong Jing was indeed formidable, and fearing exposure was understandable.
However, Pei Yushan still felt something was amiss...
Just then, Pei Yuxian finally spoke, "Let me ask instead, for such a small chess piece, be direct."
As the words fell... buzz!
A terrifying power of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness erupted from Pei Yuxian’s body.
In just an instant, it enveloped Yao Yulou, transforming into a golden circle seemingly trapping him firmly.
However, Pei Yuxian’s Spiritual Platform Sea Power didn’t penetrate Yao Yulou’s Sea of Consciousness.
At Yao Yulou’s level, it was impossible to forcibly control and interrogate. If Pei Yuxian dared to overpower his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, should the latter self-detonate, it might take her along as well.
Still, being surrounded by a top-level Emperor like Pei Yuxian’s Spiritual Platform Sea Power meant even the slightest emotional fluctuation from Yao Yulou would surely be detected...
The ensuing interrogation would be Yao Yulou’s most terrifying test!
Of course, Yao Yulou was also fully prepared to face this life-and-death interrogation.
