Chapter 2818: Discovery

2818 Discovery

Jin Chaoyang only became aware of his trembling voice as he opened his mouth.

/So cowardly. He was too cowardly. He was a grand yellow-level great talisman practitioner, yet he had ended up in this plight. He truly was being bullied by a quilted hound after he had fallen from grace!/

"I-I confessed everything," Jin Chaoyang stammered. "Th-It was the Holy Son Miyan who hired me. I wanted to open gambit on Miss Qiao and gain an advantageous position."

"Do you see this person?" Duan Yue interrupted Jin Chaoyang with a grin, gesturing toward the pile of dilapidated remains in the corner. "His tendons have all rotted, and he's only skin and bones, yet he's still alive. Do you know what happened?"

"Because the Crown Prince doesn't want him to die so easily!" Duan Yue blinked and said, "You also want to become like this person? I wonder if you can last 30 years inside this dungeon!"

Jin Chaoyang's vision darkened. He felt that there was no hope left in his life, and his future appeared dark and terrifying.

He collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud and crawled towards the two of them, tears streaming down his face as he repented, "I really did tell you everything I know. I can swear that I will tell you everything without holding back!"

"Oh? Then what about Heavenly Fate?"

A faint gleam crossed Crown Prince Mo's eyes.

Jin Chaoyang promptly wailed, "I-I'll confess, I'll confess everything. You're talking about the faction behind the Holy Son, right? I-I really don't know! I-I am only a very peripheral member. If you didn't tell me today, I wouldn't have known that the organization behind the Holy Son, His Excellency, is called Heavenly Fate!"

The two of them exchanged glances.

Crown Prince Mo - /I used a dictum talisman on him. He couldn't lie in this kind of mental breakdown, so he probably really didn't know./

Duan Yue: /Kill them./

"Dispose of them," Crown Prince Mo said coldly. After these words, Jin Chaoyang let out a sigh of relief.

He would rather meet his end than endure "living" for several decades like that unfortunate individual missing limbs.

"Wait, Your Highness," Mister Su respectfully interjected, cupping his hands. "I have detected an extraordinarily peculiar condition in this person's body. It appears to be the result of a deeply ingrained drug within him. His physical state is exceptionally unusual."

Mo Lian and Duan Yue exchanged glances and then turned their attention to Mister Su, inquiring in unison, "Have you made any discoveries?"

"At this juncture, I can only extract a sample of this individual's blood for preliminary analysis," Mister Su replied, still showing proper deference.

Mo Lian elucidated to Duan Yue, "Mister Su possesses expertise in array formations, elixirs, and talismans. His assessment suggests that there is indeed something remarkable about Jin Chaoyang's constitution."

"Your assistance is greatly appreciated, sir."

Duan Yue and Mo Lian shared a knowing look, then smiled as they addressed Mister Su, "If you uncover any peculiarities in Jin Chaoyang's condition, your findings would be of immense value to us."

Mister Su humbly responded, "Your Highnesses are too kind. This task falls within my purview."

Mo Lian then directed his words to Mister Su, "We shall entrust this individual to your care for further examination. Please keep us informed of any progress you make."

"Of course." Mister Su promptly expressed his gratitude.

Mo Lian instructed the two young individuals standing behind him, "Rise and join forces with Hidden Merchant. Assist Mister Su in every way possible, and ensure that all required research materials are provided."

"Yes." The two youths immediately nodded and conveyed their gratitude. Mister Su was genuinely touched by this unexpected gesture and reciprocated their gratitude with a respectful bow.
