Sir Huo turned around. He suddenly saw an Embroidered Envoy sitting by the window, whose outfit didnât look quite the same as those of the other Embroidered Envoys. When he examined the patterns up close, he discovered that they were actually dark gold.
âGolden Token Envoy!â Sir Huo muttered, his pupils narrowing. With his status, he naturally knew about the prestige of a Golden Token Envoy.
âI came here to ask you a few questions this time. I hope you will cooperate,â Zu An said casually, as if he were talking about something absolutely trivial.
Sir Huo laughed out of annoyance, retorting, âWhat, you think I have to answer just because you ask a question?â An ordinary person would indeed fear the Embroidered Envoy, but people like him always wandered along the border of darkness. He even had the support of King Yan, so why would he be scared?
âI am only informing you. You do not have the privilege to refuse,â Zu An said, glancing at the other Embroidered Envoys. Their expressions continuously changed, but apart from being unconscious, everything else about them was completely normal. They seemed to be experiencing some kind of nightmare.
Sir Huo roared with laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He said, âYou should have moved together with them just now. Then, I might really have been taken down.â
Now that it was just one-on-one, he wasnât scared of anyone. Furthermore, this person didnât seem to have any great ki aura coming out from him, so he was probably one of the weaker ones among the Golden Token Envoys.
âThere was no need,â Zu An said indifferently. The main reason he had done so was because he had wanted to personally witness the mental attack first. Otherwise, if he encountered someone who specialized in this field in the future, he could end up being caught off guard. Furthermore, he had really wanted to know whether or not Sir Huo had the ability to subdue Golden Token Seven.
âHow arrogant!â Sir Huo snapped. The patterns on his forehead activated again, forming a vertical eye. It released a strange light in Zu Anâs direction.
Zu An felt his vision blur. The interesting and appealing environment of Wishes Fulfilled was replaced by several massive concrete buildings. All sorts of cars filled the roads, and from time to time, he could even see trams moving in his direction from afar.
The streets were so packed with pedestrians that shoulders often brushed and feet were stepped on. Women were dressed in light and fashionable clothing, while men⊠well, in comparison, they seemed not to care that much about their outfits.
Nearby, commercials depicting all kinds of celebrities played on the digital screens of shopping malls. Even Zu Anâs favorite, Xiaolongnu, was thereâŠ
This illusion really is formidable; it can even make these things? Zu An thought with a sigh. He said, âThis world really is nostalgic⊠If I hadnât been prepared for this, I might have been completely lost here.â
As soon as he spoke, he drew his sword and brandished it. Sword ki slashed outward and covered the entire world. The entire world began to shatter, and Wishes Fulfilled reappeared in front of him.
Sir Huoâs eyes were filled with alarm. He clutched the eye on his forehead, and blood seeped out between his fingers. His other hand shook as he pointed at Zu An, muttering, âYou⊠Just who are you?â
The power of that sword had actually destroyed the illusion he created! Just what level of cultivation was this? Since when did Golden Token Envoys have that kind of ability?
With a flick of Zu Anâs finger, several streaks of energy struck Sir Huo, completely restraining his movements. He said, âI am the one asking the questions now.â
Sir Huoâs eyes darted from side to side as he said, âApologies, great sir, but there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding here⊠I am King Yan Manorâs guest, and I normally respect the law greatly. I have done nothing bad!â
âDonât try to control me with King Yanâs name,â Zu An said, giving him an indifferent look. His gaze was so sharp, it almost seemed to sting.
Sir Huo shivered. This person in front of him was just too mysterious. He asked, âMay I ask what this sir wishes to know? This old⊠This one will definitely tell you everything I know.â
Zu An chuckled and remarked, âTo be honest, I liked that arrogant act of yours from earlier more.â

Sir Huo laughed apologetically and said, âI wouldnât dare to act arrogant in front of great sir.â
âHow exactly did Golden Token Seven die?â Zu An suddenly asked.
At first, Sir Huoâs expression froze before changing a bit. Then, he said, âI was also quite curious about that. Actually, even the king was also curious. He has been investigating how Golden Token Seven died this whole time.â
Zu An said with a scowl, âIt seems youâre the type who wonât cry until you see a coffin.â
Sir Huo urgently replied, âSir, I really didnât fool you!â
âIf you still wonât talk about it, Iâll have to resort to torture,â Zu An said coldly.
âWhat does your respected self want me to say?â Sir Huo replied. He wanted to cry, and yet no tears came out. At the same time, his eyes secretly darted around. He clearly felt that there wasnât much that could be used for torture in the area.
Zu An didnât waste any time with words. He immediately used the Ikuu Experience Card on Sir Huo.
If your back hurts, it might not be because of a blade. If you are screaming your heart and lungs out, it might not be because of pain. What rests on your shoulders might not necessarily be responsibility. Things you are forced to learn might not be a lesson!
Skill effect: Only effective on men. Once a target is selected, it will force them to experience a womanâs perspective. They will feel as if they were being powerfully filled by a strong and robust man. One of the four scenarios above will be chosen, and they will continue to scream âIkuu ikuu~â.
Note: This skill is ineffective against those without any intimate experiences.
The Embroidered Envoyâs torture methods were more thorough, but there was no time to return. Furthermore, it would be hard to ensure that there werenât any spies from King Yanâs side. As for this old bastard, he deserved to be punished for his disgusting fetish. He had to have a taste of being bullied by others.
âAhhh!â Sir Huo screamed miserably. In his mind, several large and burly men suddenly appeared. They held his arms down, then tore off his pantsâŠ
Soon after, Sir Huoâs entire body was shaking on the ground. He mumbled all sorts of unclear words.
Zu An was stunned. Why is this guy so disappointing? He already came that fast? As such, he stopped the skill. He looked at the old man, who was curled up into a ball, and asked, âAre you going to talk now?â
Sir Huo trembled as he clutched his bottom. Then, as if he had been burned, he quickly pulled his hands back. His face was a bit unnaturally red as he said, âSir, I really wasnât lying to you.â
Zu An glowered and said, âIt seems you still havenât had enough.â As such, he activated the Ikuu Experience Card again.
Another round of miserable screams emerged.
Zu An gave him a look. He really found the sight a bit harsh on the eyes, so he went over to the window to get some fresh air. A while later, he asked, âAre you going to talk now?â
âI donât know what to sayâŠâ
âIkuu Experience Card!â
A while later, Zu An asked again, âNow?â
âI wonât talk, I absolutely won't!â Sir Huo replied; surprisingly, his attitude just seemed to have become tougher and tougher. âWhy donât you do that again to me if you have the skill?!â
Zu Anâs expression quickly turned incredibly strange. When he saw that the old guyâs expression was gradually starting to turn into one of pleasure, he wondered whether Sir Huo was just struggling to hold on, or if he had actually changedâŠ
When he thought about what Sir Huo did to little girls normally, disgust appeared on Zu Anâs face. He didnât use the Ikuu Experience Card anymore, and instead raised his hand. A small black hole appeared in the center of his palm and he said, âLast chance. If you still wonât speak, Iâll suck all of your cultivation away, then throw you out on the streets.â
When he saw the black hole in Zu Anâs palm, a hint of fear flickered across Sir Huoâs face. He cried, âIâll speak, Iâll speak!â
In this world, there was nothing more important than cultivation. Cultivation was money, cultivation got you beauties⊠If he became a cripple, King Yan would definitely abandon him. Furthermore, with all the enemies heâd made over the years, he would absolutely wish he were dead. More importantly, once one had a taste of what it felt like to be at the top, they wouldnât be willing to stay at the bottom.
When he saw Zu An staring at him coldly, Sir Huo gulped and quickly said, âGolden Token Seven was investigating King Yan Manorâs military supplies, so King Yan wanted to get rid of him.â
âKing Yan Manorâs military supplies?â Zu An exclaimed in surprise. No wonder Golden Token Sevenâs mood had been so grave; it turned out he had been investigating something related to a king and didnât dare to recklessly make a report without proper evidence. Zu An continued, âBe more specific!â
Once he began to speak, Sir Huo let go of his earlier misgivings. He explained, âOver the years, King Yan has secretly raised several personal troops and roped in many powerful experts. In order to accomplish that, he needed a huge amount of money. As such, he was secretly doing business with the Fiend races, sending the courtâs military supplies and some standard goods to the Fiend races for money, precious ores, medicines, and other such things. Golden Token Seven apparently caught onto some traces of that exchange, so King Yan was furious and said he had to be eliminated.â
Zu An finally understood what was happening. Previously in Cloudcenter Commandery, he had found out that the Pegasus Merchant Group had King Yan behind it.
Now, after combining all of this information together⊠All of the private industries in Cloudcenter Commandery were related to King Qi, so King Yan wanted to borrow someone else to do his dirty work. If King Qiâs forces were driven out, he could then take their place. Unfortunately, I ruined everything right when he was on the cusp of success, so itâs no wonder he hates me so much.
As for Golden Token Seven finding out about these things, he was no doubt horrified. After all, a king was doing business with the enemy and raising a personal army, which are clear signs of rebellion. Thatâs why he didnât dare to say anything before he found concrete proof. Otherwise, if he falsely accused a king, that would only bring his own clan a great disaster. Still, he never expected King Yan to strike first, and so viciously!
âHow many private troops has King Yan raised?â Zu An asked.
Sir Huo shook his head and replied, âI do not know. All of those things are top-level secrets. A follower like me does not have access to much information.â
âDo you really not know, or are you just pretending?â Zu An asked, bringing the Heaven Devouring Sutra closer to Sir Huoâs head.
Feeling as if his cultivation was about to leave his body, Sir Huo was horrified. He replied, âI really donât know! But I know that King Yan has an account book that records his trade with the Fiend races, as well as the people involved.â
âWhere is that account book?â
âIt is in a private room behind King Yanâs study. There are many layers of mechanisms, but there is no way any outsiders could obtain it.â
