Chapter 1137: Torture and Interrogation
The reaction of the young woman's mount was also very swift; as its master was taken, it roared furiously and attacked Qin Hao.
But Qin Hao's speed was too fast, it couldn't land an attack on him, and Qin Hao didn't fight the white demon tiger either, as it was a late-stage Transformation Realm beast, and defeating it in a short time would be challenging.
After flying for a while, the white demon tiger stopped chasing Qin Hao and instead ran back.
It knew it couldn't catch up with Qin Hao, and continuing the chase was futile. Reporting back was the better strategy.
With a single arm around the young woman's waist, Qin Hao flew rapidly toward Southern City, sealing her meridians several times with Spiritual Energy along the way to prevent her from breaking free of the restraints.
The young woman finally had the time to scrutinize Qin Hao; he was a man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome demeanor, appearing to be only two or three years older than her.
Who is this person? Why did he abduct me?
Soon the young woman guessed from Qin Hao's direction of flight: Qin Hao might be from Southern City. Could it be that the demon beasts didn't conquer Southern City??
How can this person be so fast, how did he do it?
Countless questions arose in the young woman's mind, and finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why did you abduct me?"
Qin Hao didn't answer her at all and continued flying.
About an hour later, the silhouette of a city appeared in the young woman's sight, with many traces of battles on the ground.
Seeing that Southern City was unharmed, the young woman was a bit shocked; a million demon beasts hadn't taken down a city??
This Skyfire Dynasty is the weakest dynasty in the vicinity, how could they withstand a million demon beasts?
Qin Hao flew to the gate and said, "Open the gates!"
The officers and soldiers on the city walls saw it was Qin Hao and hurriedly opened the gates.
Qin Hao flew into the city and went straight to the General's Mansion, where Dong Mengqi and Xian Yin were waiting for Qin Hao to return in the main hall. My Vi-rtual^ L^i!b-rary Em&pi&r+e (@M|V^|LE1^MPY#R) t!ha#n!k$s you for re#a!d+ing at the s+o@ur&ce.%
Seeing him bringing back a young beauty, they were slightly surprised.
Xian Yin curiously asked, "Young master, who is this person?"
Qin Hao placed the young woman on the ground, "I don't know, but she probably has something to do with the demon beast attack."
Then Qin Hao looked at the young woman and asked, "Speak, who are you? What is your name!"
The young woman looked at him coldly, turned her head to the side, and tightly shut her lips, ignoring Qin Hao completely.
She now knew Qin Hao's identity; he was probably a master of the Skyfire Dynasty. She wasn't in a hurry. When her family's experts arrived, it would be time for Qin Hao to kneel and surrender.
Seeing her like this, Qin Hao sneered, "Not talking? Then don't blame me for being rude to you."
With that, he picked up the young woman with one hand and headed to the dungeon of the General's Mansion.
As he left, Qin Hao turned to Xian Yin and Dong Mengqi and said, "You two guard the city wall; her family will probably attack soon."
Dong Mengqi and Xian Yin nodded, got up, and headed to the city wall with the officers.
In the dungeon of the General's Mansion, it was gloomy and damp, equipped with various interrogation tools.
Qin Hao tied her to a pillar and sneered, "Speak, what's your name? What kind of family force is on that island?"
The young woman's expression slightly changed when she heard his words. He actually knew about the island at the center of the lake; could he have already been there?
"You better let me go now, or Southern City will soon be a wasteland, devoid of life," Duanmu Huixue looked at him, parting her cherry lips.
Qin Hao looked at her with a smile, "It seems that the attack of a million demon beasts on Southern City is indeed related to you?"
Duanmu Huixue nodded, "That's right, you should know the power of our family by now, release me, and perhaps I can spare your life."
Seeing her admit it, Qin Hao was curious how they controlled those demon beasts and ordered them to attack Southern City.
"If your family's people dare to come, I assure you they will not return. You better start confessing your name now!" Qin Hao said calmly.
Duanmu Huixue snorted coldly, not answering him.
Qin Hao squinted his eyes, his face cold, and picked up a branding iron from a brazier nearby.
This was no ordinary branding iron; it was specifically made for cultivators, and after being roasted by Spiritual Fire, it became extremely hot. When branded on a cultivator, it would leave an irremovable scar and cause immense pain.
Duanmu Huixue looked at his movements, her face froze, and she felt a bit flustered inside.
Qin Hao sneered at her, "This is a special branding iron for interrogation, roasted by Spiritual Fire. It will leave an indelible mark on a cultivator and cause you immense pain. I advise you to speak up, don't force me to torture you."
Duanmu Huixue gritted her teeth, glaring at him fiercely, "If you dare lay a finger on me, I guarantee the Skyfire Dynasty will be razed to the ground."
Qin Hao placed the branding iron near her cheek, feeling the scorching heat, causing Duanmu Huixue's expression to change dramatically.
"If this is branded on your face, it might ruin your looks. Such a delicate beauty with a brand would be terrifying to see outside."
Duanmu Huixue: "You bastard, my family will not spare you, even if you kill me, I will not tell you anything."
Illuminated by her words, Qin Hao's eyes turned cold, and after a moment's thought, he put the branding iron down.
He was very curious about Duanmu Huixue's family and how they commanded so many demon beasts. If they could be used for themselves, it would greatly enhance the Skyfire Dynasty's power.
Seeing him put down the branding iron, Duanmu Huixue sneered, "You don't dare to make a move? It's not too late to release me now; our family's strength is something your Skyfire Dynasty cannot withstand."
Qin Hao smiled faintly and walked up to Duanmu Huixue, "Using a branding iron on a beauty like you is too cruel. I've thought of a better way; do you want to try it?"
Seeing his smile, Duanmu Huixue had a bad premonition, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Hao chuckled, reaching out to tear Duanmu Huixue's dress.
Duanmu Huixue's face changed dramatically in anger and shame, "You bastard, I will kill you."
"Kill me? Let's see if you can escape from me first."
He didn't tear it directly because that wouldn't achieve the effect he wanted. He intended to slowly tear it piece by piece, letting her taste that fear.
Duanmu Huixue's face turned red with rage and embarrassment, her body trembling slightly, "I will dismember you, I will chop you up and feed you to the demon beasts."
Qin Hao sneered, "Still stubborn? As long as you speak, I will stop."
"Dream on!" Duanmu Huixue glared at Qin Hao, wishing she could eat him alive.
"Will you talk?"
Duanmu Huixue kept her cherry lips tightly shut, glaring at him fiercely.
Seeing her resolve, Qin Hao's patience wore thin, and soon she had little clothing left.
At this point, Duanmu Huixue was trembling slightly with rage and shame.
Qin Hao looked at Duanmu Huixue, "Giving you one last chance, if you don't talk, don't blame me for what's next."
Duanmu Huixue's gaze dimmed and became extraordinarily calm, "Kill me then!"
