Chapter Two Hundred and Eighth Chapter Torture
Since he is a Liyue person, it is impossible not to know Jueyunjian, nor can he not know that there are immortals in Jueyunjian.
Immortals have power far surpassed mortals, and they have almost infinite lifespan. Many people from Liyue visited immortals in order to obtain the secret of immortality, and even spent a lot of money on this, but in the end they just lost everything.
And now, because Lin Yan showed amazing power in front of the member of the treasure troupe, he mistakenly thought that Lin Yan and the others were all immortals.
So, in order to save his life, he directly knocked his head to the ground and begged, "A few immortals, I know I'm wrong. It's because I shouldn't be confused by money, so please let all the immortals surround me!"
The sudden action made Ying and the others stunned. Because they had no idea about the other party's psychological activities at the moment, they didn't know why he regarded himself as an immortal.
Lin Yan was the first person to react. At this time, he had a plan and spoke to the member of the treasure troupe who begged for mercy and said, "As an immortal, there are immortals here, but I am not an immortal."
"Not an immortal?" The other party's expression looked a little surprised, "Then... Then why are you so strong, sir? If you are not an immortal, you should not be able to say anything?"
"Who told you that as long as you are strong, you will be an immortal, maybe I am a demon who is stronger than an immortal?" Lin Yan also showed a chilling and strange smile.
Hearing what Lin Yan said and seeing his smile at the moment, the member of the treasure troupe was immediately scared and kept kowtowing to Lin Yan: "My devil, please go around me. I am a little too little to know Mount Tai. If you want to remove one of my arms or legs as punishment, it's nothing, but please give me a way out."
Under the urge of this extreme fear, a person's desire to survive will be stimulated by instinct, so he will keep kowtowing and begging for mercy like now, even if his forehead has been broken, he will have no intention of stopping at all.
Lin Yan felt that this was nothing, after all, he was also afraid of death, but he was not as outrageous as the other party's reaction.
"It's nothing to let you go, but I'll ask you a few questions next, and you must answer them truthfully. As a demon god, I can see through human lies. If you dare to tell lies, then wait for me to tear it into pieces."
Lin Yan has completely entered the state. Now he is like a demon, and his whole body exudes a suffocating sense of oppression, but this is only true for the member of the treasure thief group.
Ying and the others were not scared by Lin Yan's appearance because...
Lin Yan is a good person!
"I said, I said, as long as I know, I said!" As expected, the member of the treasure thieving group agreed directly to Lin Yan without even hesitation, and Lin Yan also asked his own question next.
"Why are you eyeing me?" This was Lin Yan's first question, because he felt strange from the beginning why he was targeted by the treasure troupe. He was not wearing any luxurious clothes and didn't look like a rich man at all.
The treasure thieves will not target the pauper, and not to mention that there were so many businessmen with assets of over 100 million in Guiliyuan at that time, they should not target them.
"Because our fourth leader said that you have cultural relics brought from that palace, and they are very important cultural relics. As long as you can get the cultural relics on you, it is equivalent to mastering half a month's wealth."
This answer surprised Lin Yan a little.
First of all, it was the cultural relics he brought out of the palace. If he guessed correctly, it should be the lock of the world. After all, this is the only thing he brought out of the palace.
But what puzzled him was how did the treasure troupe know that the world's lock was on him? Logically speaking, because Ning Guang and Ke Qing were on duty, no irrelevant personnel would be allowed to enter it. Even the archaeologists who discovered the palace were dismissed, and only a group of Qianyan troops could enter and exit it freely.
Could it be that...there are spies from the treasure robbery inside the Qianyan Army? Because only the Qianyan Army in the palace saw him walking outside with the Lock of the World. In order to prevent him from being targeted, Ningguang even deliberately released fake news that the Lock of the World had been taken out.
In order to make those people believe, she even took a few Qianyan troops back to Liyue Port in a carriage to create the illusion that the world is locked in her hands.
But the treasure troupe was not only not deceived, but even accurately found Lin Yan. If it weren't for the spies from the treasure troupe in Qianyan Army that provided them with information, then this matter would never be reasonable.
Also, why did the Fourth Commander say that getting the Lock of the World is equivalent to having half a month of wealth? If he had gone to that palace, Lin Yan might not have understood the meaning of this sentence. After he could not pass through the palace, he would have understood the meaning of this sentence in an instant.
The girl who had signed a covenant with Morax, injected all her power and wisdom into the lock of the earth. If someone could unlock the lock of the earth, she would be able to obtain all her power and wisdom.
The reason why Li Yue is so prosperous as it is now is because of the power of Morax and the wisdom of the girl, which accounts for half of each, so it is said that he has obtained the lock of the world, which is equivalent to mastering Li Yue’s wealth for half of it.
However, none of Liyue’s ancient books recorded the alliance between Morax and that girl. How did the treasure troupe know about the Lock of the World? How deep is their intelligence network? Even the things that even Seven Stars in Liyue know so clearly.
Lin Yan couldn't help but shivered. He always felt that it was impossible to know such a thing with the ability of the treasure troupe, so there must be someone behind him who is guiding them.
So who would this person be?
The Lock of the Earth contains the power and wisdom of the demon god. When Lin Yan mentioned the word "demon god", he couldn't help but think of an organization.
Fools.
Although the plan of the Queen of Ice is to obtain the hearts of the other six ruling gods, the fools' purpose is to search for the divine power left by the demon gods in Tivat's territory.
The Thunder Demon Bird, the wreckage of the Demon God who appeared under the Church of Mond City, the vortex Demon God Osel, who was resurrected by the Forbidden Talk, and the current Earthly Lock, all the signs of this are superficial.
But...the fools sometimes do not want to collect the magic power of the demon god, but use this magic power to cause trouble to the people around them. So why do they do this?
After finally collecting the magic power of the demon god, Lin Yan had to use it so easily. He could not imagine what their purpose was.
Or... the fools collect the power of the demon god not to help themselves, but to help others? So who is this other person? Who would need the power of the demon god so much?
Suddenly, Lin Yan thought of something.
Since the devil's power is needed, it means that the person the other party has to deal with is an existence that only the demon can compete with.
