Chapter 391 This Kid is So-So
"The Demon Emperor Concubine has arrived at the frontlines?"
After confirming that he was not mistaken, You Yunzi felt a mix of shock and anger:
"What a Demon Emperor, not keeping the agreement it has with our Pavilion Master."
The Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master were both Nascent Soul Level existences.
Once they made a move, it would result in countless deaths and injuries.
No one wanted the other to join the battlefield.
Therefore, there was an unspoken agreement between them, neither would appear until the final battle.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor played some tricks in secret.
It distributed its Demon Emperor blood to the frontlines for use.
If the Human Clan's strong men were unaware of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Jiang Fan, you have made a great contribution!" You Yunzi said with lingering fear:
"The Pavilion Master will definitely reward you generously for this!"
Jiang Fan's gaze remained calm as he said, "United in common ruin, I did my best just not to let the coming Beast Tide affect me in the future."
"I don't need a reward, just make sure the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion handles this matter properly."
You Yunzi secretly admired him.
As expected of the young man he had his eye on, to remain calm even in the face of the Pavilion Master's reward.
He knew, the Pavilion Master's words could change the fate of an ordinary person.
He felt secretly gratified that he was the only one who discovered Jiang Fan's remarkable qualities.
When the time came, he would spare no expense to bring Jiang Fan under his command and nurture him well.
Da da da—
Suddenly.
A series of rapid footsteps approached.
You Yunzi looked up and frowned: "Vice Pavilion Master Gu?"
He was surprised.
Why was Gu Huaxi here? Shouldn't he be on standby?
Gu Huaxi glanced at the Golden Claw Iron Wolf with many scorched wounds, his heart sank slightly, and he said:
"Vice Pavilion Master You, how is the interrogation going?"
You Yunzi, with an impassive expression, tucked the data into his robe and said, "The gains are substantial."
"I'm about to report to the Pavilion Master."
This made Gu Huaxi feel uneasy.
Could it be that this Golden Claw Iron Wolf really disclosed extremely important information?
Then Jin Zhongming's merit would be gone?
She had come specifically to notify, but it was all for nothing?
"Wait!" Gu Huaxi stopped him, saying:
"Vice Pavilion Master You, the interrogation task should be handled by disciples, it's inappropriate for a Vice Pavilion Master to be involved, isn't it?"
You Yunzi squinted his eyes.
"That's what I should ask, with the Beast Tide surging, why is Vice Pavilion Master Gu not on standby at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion but running to the Giant Sect?"
"And so concerned about the demon interrogation tasks..."
He did not continue.
Sensing the weight of the information he held, he suddenly understood why Jin Zhongming did not allow anyone else to handle this task.
It must be that Gu Huaxi knew something and wanted his favored disciple Jin Zhongming to seize this merit.
That's why Gu Huaxi came specially to remind him.
You Yunzi immediately frowned: "Vice Pavilion Master Gu, I understand your concern for your disciple."
"But you almost caused a big disaster!"
He couldn't imagine, if it wasn't for his support, if it wasn't for Jiang Fan's brilliant methods, extracting this deadly information from the interrogation.
What would have been the consequences.
At the very least, no one could interrogate this Demon Wolf before Jin Zhongming returned.
Even when he returned, he might not have been able to extract the information.
By the time he gave up and handed it over to others for interrogation, who knows how long it would have been.
By then, it would have been too late.
The front line fighters would be facing a group of suddenly empowered Demon Kings who drank the Demon Emperor blood.
The battle line would face a one-sided collapse!
"What disaster? You are making a big deal out of nothing!"
Gu Huaxi sneered, her nostrils flaring slightly.
What was wrong with helping her disciple earn merit?
Was it that exaggerated?
You Yunzi took out the data.
Avoiding the Giant Sect Master's sight, he secretly showed it to Gu Huaxi.
Gu Huaxi's eyes landed on a few lines of beautiful handwriting.
But the content left her in shock.
"Demon Emperor Concubine..."
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master made a gesture for silence and sternly said, "You wouldn't even disclose this, right?"
Gu Huaxi immediately stopped speaking, but her face remained filled with shock that would not subside.
She immediately realized what disaster You Yunzi referred to.
She almost became the villain of this battle!
Instantly, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
If today's incident was reported back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, severe punishment from the Pavilion Master would be inevitable.
"Today, I'll pretend you never came here, but there won't be a next time." You Yunzi didn't want to make things difficult for her.
Gu Huaxi's face stiffened and she nodded gratefully: "I owe you one for this."
"Today, it was really lucky that you personally interrogated."
She forced a smile.
Where was the previous righteousness?
"You misunderstood, since this is a disciple's task, how could I interfere?"
You Yunzi said, "This information was extracted by this Green Cloud Sect disciple, Jiang Fan."
Oh?
Gu Huaxi looked in surprise at Jiang Fan, who had remained silent all this time.
"Young man, did you really do the interrogation?" Gu Huaxi looked Jiang Fan up and down.
He looked cultured, not like someone who could intimidate the Golden Claw Iron Wolf.
At this moment.
The Golden Claw Iron Wolf started rumbling and struggling angrily, making the chains clatter.
"What's it saying?" Gu Huaxi asked.
Beside the Giant Sect Master, there was a deacon who was proficient in the Demon Race language.
He looked at Jiang Fan with a strange expression and said:
"This guy is saying, 'I am not a demon traitor, you should kill me. That cute little guy's information was not disclosed by me.'"
Um—
Upon hearing this, it was hard for Gu Huaxi not to believe.
It turned out that Jiang Fan had indeed conducted the interrogation.
In that case, this Golden Claw Iron Wolf wasn't as difficult to interrogate as the rumors would have it.
Even Jiang Fan managed to interrogate it easily, it would have been even easier for Jin Zhongming.
It was a wasted opportunity for this young man.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at the Golden Claw Iron Wolf: "A spineless creature!"
The Golden Claw Iron Wolf was displeased.
Snarling and flailing, it yelled, "Old woman, if you have the guts, try it yourself! If I mutter a single word, you win!"
The deacon translated cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaxi sneered, "A mere disciple could easily interrogate you. Do you think you can endure my methods?"
She raised the Dragon-Coiling Staff in her hand and pointed it at the chest of the Golden Claw Iron Wolf.
With a bang.
A bloody hole immediately appeared.
The Golden Claw Iron Wolf screamed in agony, yelling even louder, "Too light, old woman."
"Do you think you can subdue the first loyal wolf of the Demon Race with this?"
"Dream on!"
It felt deeply remorseful for leaking information to Jiang Fan.
Now, it had to prove its loyalty no matter what.
Otherwise, it would forever be branded a demon traitor.
Gu Huaxi's expression turned icy: "Insolence!"
She launched another series of brutal attacks, making the demon wolf scream in agony.
Everyone present could hear the unbearable pain and could imagine the excruciating torture.
But the Golden Claw Iron Wolf was indeed exceedingly resilient.
Even after being beaten unconscious, it did not yield.
Even in its final moments before passing out, it remained defiant.
Gu Huaxi felt embarrassed.
She thought if Jiang Fan could easily interrogate, how could she, the Vice Pavilion Master, not succeed effortlessly?
Who knew, her methods yielded nothing!
"What... what's going on?" Gu Huaxi's old face turned slightly red.
You Yunzi's lips curled up in smugness: "If torture worked on this demon king, this information would have been extracted long ago."
"Jiang Fan used some mysterious method that even I don't understand to successfully get the information."
Only then did Gu Huaxi realize.
She had underestimated Jiang Fan.
She couldn't help but reassess him, saying: "You do have some skills."
"How's your martial path strength?"
She casually asked a question.
This question made You Yunzi want to smack himself.
Why did you show off Jiang Fan for no reason?
If Gu Huaxi knew of Jiang Fan's potential, wouldn't that mean more competition?
He quickly interjected: "Not that exceptional!"
"This kid is just average!"
