Chapter 323 - 322 Immortal Mansion
Zhou Bingliang shivered all over and fell to his knees, his voice trembling as he said, "Master Su, I... I didn’t mean to deceive you. If I really told you about this matter, you... you might think this map is not very valuable and wouldn’t... wouldn’t spare my life. I... I won’t dare again..."
Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, actually bluffing Zhou Bingliang, knowing nothing about whether the Zhou Family had sent someone or not. However, the Zhou Family had obtained this map and would certainly attempt to search for it. That they had kept the map for so long only suggested that they had not been successful in finding the Immortal Mansion.
Such failure usually meant one of two things. One possibility was that they couldn’t find it. If that were the case, after more than a hundred years, the Zhou Family probably would have given up.
The other possibility was that they had found it, but faced with traps they couldn’t enter. With severe casualties but also having tasted the sweetness of their discoveries, they didn’t want to give up, so they kept the map all this time.
Su Yang had bluffed based on the second scenario and had guessed correctly.
"One more time, and you won’t be able to leave alive!" Su Yang said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Bingliang nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling, "In fact, our... our Zhou Family has searched more than a dozen times, each time with heavy casualties. The worst time, twenty-three people went, and in the end, only one man came back with an arm severed."
Seeing Su Yang’s expression change, Zhou Bingliang quickly added, "But, we... we haven’t come back empty-handed; although we haven’t been able to enter that Immortal Mansion, we have gotten quite a few things outside of it. The Medium Quality Magical Tools in my Zhou Family’s possession were acquired from there. Even, my... my Zhou Family has two Superior Magical Artifacts, obtained from the place closest to the Immortal Mansion..."
"Heh heh..." Su Yang laughed, "You finally speak the truth. So, the Superior Magical Artifact on you, was that also obtained from that Immortal Mansion?"
