Chapter 556: The Grand Ceremony
Chen Qing returned to the meditation room and sat cross-legged before the meditation cushion, turning things over quietly in his mind.
Mo Yuan was the Great Snow Mountain Holy Lord's own second personal disciple, no ordinary figure.
Imprisoned in the Blackwater Abyss Prison for decades, his cultivation was still intact.
The core secrets of the Great Snow Mountain's covert collaboration with the Night Clan, this person must know most of them. And even the three-way collusion between the Ghost Witch Sect, Jinting, and the Night Clan, he had likely heard something of.
Yet for all these years, neither the court, nor Master Qiku, nor the Sect Master had been able to pry a single word of core secrets from his mouth.
Today, Chen Qing had used a small enticement to obtain the first layer of the "Night Clan Malevolent Origin Art." Expecting to get him to reveal all his secrets from this alone was wishful thinking.
Chen Qing understood clearly.
Whether cooperation happened depended not on how many benefits he offered, but on whether Mo Yuan himself had the desire to break out of this deadlock.
This person had been imprisoned for so many years. Though he appeared to have given up, the ambition in the depths of his eyes had never been extinguished.
