Chapter 132 - 0132: True Freedom
"Although revealing the secret could lead to ’consequences worse than death,’ in the face of the great fear of life and death, Xiao Zhao couldn’t endure and chose to come clean, to exchange for a momentary chance to live."
"Right." Chu Ge nodded slightly, showing a trace of a smile. He picked up the teacup on the table and placed it into Xiao Zhao’s mouth. "Have a sip of tea, take your time. I’m not in a hurry."
Looking at the teacup in his hands, Xiao Zhao had a desire to cry but no tears would come.
What was he doing drinking tea at a time like this? However, in the end, he still gulped down all the tea in the cup and then tremblingly said: "We... we are all disciples of the Ghost Poison Sect!"
The middle-aged man next to him seemed to shudder slightly but upon meeting Chu Ge’s icy gaze, he eventually let out a sigh and bowed his head, not daring to utter another word.
"Continue." Chu Ge instructed Xiao Zhao and simultaneously pondered to himself.
It seemed that the information Zheng Lihong mentioned that day was indeed true, the Ghost Poison Sect had already arrived in Shanghai, and they even sought him out. By this account, the Vajra Sect’s people might have also come to Shanghai, it’s just uncertain if Huo Tianqian has encountered any issues.
"Why are you looking for me?" Just then, Chu Ge suddenly asked.
Chu Ge’s question made Xiao Zhao shiver, but he quickly responded: "One of the Four Great Families of Modu, the Duan Family, has some dealings with our Ghost Poison Sect, so after we arrived in Shanghai, we went to the Duan Family first to understand the situation. We concluded that the statue was eventually auctioned off to you."
"Is it for the statue?" Chu Ge muttered to himself.
