Chapter 260 - 224: Deep Admiration_1
"Did Lei Yun ever leave?"
The gaze of Shi Xin sharpened immediately, "When did he leave? Where did you see him? Since he used the illusion technique to hide, how did you see him?"
Li Xuan felt a slight chill in his heart, as Lei Yun’s earlier statement was not like this. According to Xiaowei Lei, since he had changed his shift, he had been presiding over the altar of the Yang Fish in the third underground floor.
"After all, Xiaowei Lei is a Wu cultivator. He can barely utilize the illusion technique, but he cannot match a real spellcaster. Coincidentally, due to my bloodline origin, my ability to break illusions is beyond ordinary."
The prison head of the second underground floor’s surname is Xu – a ’trial Fumo Xiaowei’ around forty years old, and formally served as ’Dianyushi’. If you look closely, you will find that his left arm is a wooden prosthetic hand.
Most of the personnel inside the Zhenyao Tower were like this - disabled but able to contribute to their suitable posts.
While Duwei Xu spoke, a hint of blue light appeared in his eyes to show the truthfulness of his words, "On the night of the incident, I met him at the staircase around the third moment of Xu (seven-thirty in the evening). He was heading upstairs. As for his exact whereabouts, I didn’t inquire."
At this moment, everyone present showed excitement on their faces. Only Shi Xin remained poker-faced, "Then, when did he return?"
"I don’t know that," the prison head’s eyes showed helplessness, "The second underground floor holds 350 black water cells and 700 dark cells, all presided over by less than twenty people. I am too busy to pay detailed attention. Moreover, Xiaowei Lei is very careful."
He paused, "At that time, he was hidden in the dark and walked against the wall without making any sound. Even without using illusions, very few people could notice him."
Shi Xin then carefully asked a few more questions, but just as he was about to end Duwei Xu’s interrogation, Li Xuan suddenly interjected, "Duwei Xu, the explosion on the top of the tower and underground used three stones worth of gunpowder. I would like to know, who could have managed to hide this huge amount from you and brought it down to the third floor?"
