Chapter 539
It was still the familiar three people. They pushed the tightly tied Yue Shan in front of Xie Liuyin and forced him to kneel down.
One of them stepped forward to explain on Xie Liuyin's behalf: "Please look, Immortal Lord, this is the Immortal who dared to order that assassin to kill you."
"You have been investigating for so long, are you sure it was this guy who did it? But he is only at the Golden Immortal realm. The assassin has the same level of cultivation as him. Why would he listen to him and take the risk?" Xie Liuyin didn't believe these people's nonsense.
The three had been warned by their confidant before they came, and they were prepared for these questions. The one who spoke first continued, "We don't know this either. Why don't you take the man down for interrogation and see if you can pry him open his mouth?"
"It's really interesting. You went to investigate the truth and caught the person, but you don't know the reason. I almost suspected that you just caught someone at random to deal with me." Xie Liuyin said deliberately.
Their expressions remained unchanged as they kept saying, "We really don't know. We just found out about this guy, but he refuses to speak. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"Alright." Xie Liuyin was almost laughing at the indignation of these people. "Then I'll go ask them myself. If I find out you've got the wrong person, I won't give you the Heart Nourishing Pill."
The three of them kept smiling. "Of course, we just hope you can interrogate us faster and not keep us waiting too long."
Xie Liuyin did not answer. She just asked someone to take Yue Shan away first, and then asked the three people to stay in Lanyue Palace. She went to interrogate Yue Shan.
In the dark dungeon, Yue Shan's cultivation had long been wasted, and he was now no different from an ordinary person.
Xie Liuyin looked him over, noticing the uprightness in his expression. Curiously, he asked, "You don't look like a criminal, so why did you agree to take the blame for Emperor Haotian?"
Yue Shan's expression changed. He didn't expect Xie Liuyin to be so straightforward right from the start and directly expose that he was there to take the blame.
Although everyone knew this, few would speak out directly. He thought that a figure like the Immortal Venerable Jingchen would at least pretend to be so, and that due to the power of the Immortal Emperor Haotian, he would be hastily convicted and executed.
"Why, you didn't expect me to be so straightforward?" Xie Liuyin raised an eyebrow. "We all know this assassination was the work of the Immortal Emperor Haotian. You're just an unlucky scapegoat."
Yue Shan lowered his head and refused to admit it. "No, this has nothing to do with the Immortal Emperor Haotian. I was jealous of you becoming an Immortal Venerable at such a young age. I thought you were using some evil magic to disguise your cultivation level, so I tricked Qin Xi into assassinating you."
"Tsk, it's come to this, and you're still trying to keep it a secret for your master. Well, after all, you still have a daughter in their hands. Even if you want to resist, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything." Xie Liuyin's voice exploded in Yue Shan's ears.
Yue Shan raised his head instantly and looked at Xie Liuyin in horror. He was once again shocked by the immortal's ability to get information.
At this point, Yue Shan was too lazy to pretend anymore. He sighed deeply and said, "Yes, my daughter is still in their hands, so how can I not obey their orders?"
"They need a scapegoat anyway, and you just want to make the Immortal Emperor Haotian suffer. Just admitting this will benefit all three of us. Why continue to question it?"
"I don't agree with this. If I really have to admit this, I'm afraid only Immortal Lord Haotian and his side will be satisfied. You and I are not satisfied at all." Xie Liuyin found a chair and sat down, looking like he wanted to have a long talk with Yue Shan.
Yue Shan looked at Xie Liuyin in surprise, not understanding what else she was dissatisfied with.
Although she was an Immortal Venerable, her power was definitely not comparable to that of Haotian, the Immortal Emperor. Yue Shan had been with Haotian Immortal Emperor for so many years, and Xie Liuyin was the only one who had benefited from him.
