Lei Feng looked around himself and found that other than him, everyone else had been turned to ashes.
When he saw this, he couldn’t help falling down on his butt and his entire body started to tremble.
He had hoped that they would be able to escape if they worked together, but now that hope had been completely crushed by the facts in front of him. Other than him, everyone who had been working with him had all been killed, including the elders that had been sent to protect him.
At the same time, he was still completely surrounded by the spirit beasts that all had spiritual energy attacks prepared.
There was no way that he would be able to defend against all of these by himself, so there was no path of survival in front of him. He could only see despair as he looked up at the spirit beasts in front of him.
But they didn’t attack him as they just held all of those spiritual energy attacks.
As he saw this, he realized that he had been spared for a reason, so he turned to look at the sparrow spirit beast that was still flying there.
Even though the dust settled and Lei Feng was revealed to be the only one who survived, there was only silence that followed as not a single person moved.
They were all waiting to see how the voice of the talisman would react.
Finally, it was Lei Feng who couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Why did you spare me?”
He put it bluntly because he knew that he had been completely defeated. There was nothing left for him to rely on and there was no way that he would be able to make a comeback.
The only thing that was left was despair, unless the other side spared him.
But after killing all these people, he didn’t believe that the other side would spare him again.
So he simply wanted to know…why?
Why even spare him the first time?
After he asked this, there was another silence that followed. But after that silence, the voice of the talisman said, “I wanted to talk about a few things with you. If you give me a satisfactory answer…well, we can talk.”
Lei Feng couldn’t help knitting his brows when he heard this.
He couldn’t figure out just what the voice of the talisman wanted, but there was still a chance that he would survive…
So for him who was at the end of his ropes, this was like the last straw that he could grasp at.
Seeing the look on his face, the owner of the voice of the talisman couldn’t help revealing a smile.
Then the voice of the talisman asked, “Who are the other culprits that were in charge of the attack on the Love Sect? I know it was two other culprits who worked with your Heavenly Thunder Sect to plan the entire attack.”
As soon as this was said, there was only silence that followed.
Lei Feng had a hint of hope in his eyes, but the moment that he heard this question, that hint of hope disappeared and was replaced with only despair.
He knew that it was impossible for him to answer this question.
If he did, there was no doubt that the ones behind the attack on the Love Sect would silence him. At the same time, it was very unlikely that he would actually escape in the first place.
So there was no way for him to save his life now…
Seeing that Lei Feng wasn’t saying anything, the voice of the talisman said, “If you tell me, I can let you hide in this Minor World. They won’t ever be able to find you here.”
Lei Feng couldn’t help being surprised when he heard this.
He looked up at the sparrow spirit beast with an uncertain look as it seemed like he was slowly being convinced by the voice of the talisman.
But his expression calmed down in the end as he thought it through.
Even if he died, at the very least it wouldn’t affect the people that he cared about. But if he were to expose the identity of the ones who had attacked the Love Sect, there was no doubt that his family would also be hunted down by them.
So in the end, he still couldn’t say anything.
Seeing that he had a calm look on his face, the owner of the talisman had already guessed what he was thinking. They couldn’t help being surprised since they had thought that these people were greedy and despicable, so there wouldn’t be anything that they would be attached to.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
It was just too bad that they had no plans of letting Lei Feng off.
All of a sudden, one of the spirit beasts around Lei Feng suddenly shot the spiritual energy attack that it was gathering at Lei Feng.
Lei Feng was already exhausted from maintaining the barrier from before and he was caught off guard by this sudden attack, so he wasn’t able to guard against it at all. The spiritual energy attack hit him right in the back and knocked him flat onto his face.
After falling down, Lei Feng looked up at the sparrow spirit beast flying in the air and said, “What are you doing?”
The voice of the talisman said, “If you speak, it’ll stop. If you don’t, then you will suffer.”
As soon as this voice fell, there was another spirit beast that attacked Lei Feng.
Lei Feng tried to dodge, but he was just too exhausted to do so. So in the end, the spirit beast’s attack hit him right in the face and knocked him down again.
When he was laying there, he began thinking about what he could do to get out of this predicament.
At the same time, he pretended that he was hurt since he knew that the other side wasn’t aiming to kill him, but rather to get information from him. That was why they only attacked one at a time.
So if he laid there and pretended to be hurt, they would give him time to think.
But that only worked for a few seconds before his tricks were caught on to and another attack fell onto him.
This time, there wasn’t a pause as a second attack fell onto him right after the first one. Instead of only slightly knocking the wind out of him, he was completely bruised and battered.
It seemed like the other side was getting better and better at adjusting the power behind each attack.
It seemed like they were getting better and better at torturing him without killing him.
This kind of pain was not something that a young master protected by the Heavenly Thunder Sect had experienced before, so it wasn’t something that he could endure for long.
It didn’t take long before Lei Feng shouted, “I want to talk!”
As soon as he said this, the attacks bombarding him stopped and the voice of the talisman said, “You know how to make this all end.”
Lei Feng’s face twisted when he heard this.
He had wanted to discuss this and find a way to come to a compromise, but it seemed that he had already missed his chance. Since he didn’t cooperate before, the voice of the talisman lost all intentions of playing nice with him.
With the tone that the voice had now, he knew that as long as he didn’t give them the information that they wanted, they would keep torturing him. As long as he didn’t play along, he would keep suffering.
This kind of suffering was not something that a young master like Lei Feng had ever endured before.
So when he thought about the possibility of facing this, he quickly broke down and said, “If I give you the information that you want, you will promise to take care of my family?”
That was the last concession that he would make.
As long as his family was safe, then he didn’t mind dying.
He didn’t want to die, but this was the only way left for him…
The voice of the talisman immediately replied, “Alright, I’ll take care of your family if you tell me what I want to know.”
Lei Feng hesitated a bit since he didn’t know if he could trust the voice of the talisman, but he realized that he didn’t have a choice at this point. So he said, “It’s the eighth prince and the twelfth prince. They were the ones that instigated everything.”
As soon as he said this, everyone around him couldn’t help knitting their brows.
They never thought that this kind of event would involve two of the princes…
These sects might have power in their own regions, but in the Mu Empire as a whole…they didn’t have enough power to go against the Mu Royal Family.
The only one that didn’t have such a strong expression on their face was Bi Qing.
After he said this, he looked up at the sparrow spirit beast and said, “Do I have your word?”
There was a silence that followed before the voice of the talisman said, “I will take care of your family.”
When Lei Feng heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, but that relief was quickly blown away by what he heard next.
“I will take care of your family along with the Heavenly Thunder Sect. You can be assured and wait for them in the afterlife.”
