Chapter 4444: I Killed Her!

Hearing this, everyone fell silent; there was no doubt that Xiao Fan had guessed correctly.

These people indeed had a Restriction left in their bodies by the Heavenly Court, and if they leaked any secrets, they would perish.

Facing this outcome, they were helpless…

"Hehe… Rest assured, we are all on the same side. Since you have unspeakable difficulties, I naturally won't force you," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone nodded and expressed their gratitude.

"However… you still have to cooperate with me, right?" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Cooperate? Sir, what do you need us to cooperate with?!" Zi Jiancheng asked curiously.

"Hehe… Naturally, it is to cooperate with me in investigating your secrets," Xiao Fan laughed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Afterwards, Xiao Fan used his own methods and began to interrogate them through torture…

"Bang," "bang," "slap"…

"Ah!!"

"Sir, no, please don't! We really cannot speak!"

"Sir, spare our lives!"

"…"

Xiao Fan used Wei Zhongshan's methods, but these people still refused to talk.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan understood that the Restriction within these people was very strong, so he could only use a Secret Technique to see if he could break the Restriction inside them.

Breaking the Restriction was easy; the difficult part was avoiding detection by the people of the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, this matter was handed over to Wanxiang…

Wanxiang's progress in breaking it was also very slow; it took about three days to break the Restriction of one person, after which Xiao Fan would use a Secret Technique to search their soul.

Through soul searching, Xiao Fan learned what he wanted to know…

"The Heavenly Court… is indeed very strange," Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

The time Zi Jiancheng and these others joined the Heavenly Court varied, but they had been in the Ghost Mansion for longer.

Before, Xiao Fan had been curious why Zi Jiancheng told him that he had joined the Ghost Mansion for 300,000 years, yet his bone age only looked to be a little over 300,000 years.

The result was because Zi Jiancheng had previously been a remnant soul, and because of the Heavenly Court, he eventually possessed a new Physical Body.

Regarding the Heavenly Court, Zi Jiancheng was naturally filled with gratitude, while towards the Ghost Mansion, he was naturally filled with hatred…

Therefore, when these people later worked for the Heavenly Court to deal with the Nether Ghost Mansion, they were all loyal and devoted; even after joining the Nether Ghost Mansion for hundreds of thousands of years, they would not develop any thoughts of betrayal.

As for the others, some of them had undergone Possession, while others had memories implanted; all of them had received favors from the Heavenly Court before joining the Nether Ghost Mansion…

These people's experiences were very similar to his own; back then, Xiao Fan had also received an invitation and then joined the Heavenly Court.

For the Heavenly Court, they would not miss any power that could be used to deal with the Ghost Mansion.

"The Heavenly Court… is not simple," Xiao Fan sighed.

Xiao Fan had already probed the secrets of these people, so he definitely could not let them go later. As for killing them, Xiao Fan felt they still had their uses, so he kept them in the star chart for now.

Very quickly, Xiao Fan's Divine Soul returned to the outside world.

The flying boat was almost at the Nether Ghost Mansion…

Currently, the matter regarding Sha Mushi had not been spread yet.

After arriving at the Nether Ghost Mansion, Xiao Fan went directly to see the upper echelons of the Ghost Mansion and reported the gains from his trip.

Hearing Xiao Fan's report, the upper echelons of the Nether Ghost Mansion were very satisfied.

"Very good, not bad…"

"Hehe… Wei Zhongshan, you have done very well."

"Wei Zhongshan, you are very good."

"…"

"Thank you for the praise, my lords. There is one more thing I must report!" Xiao Fan cupped his fists and said with a smile.

"What matter? Tell us and let us hear…"

"Hehe… During the investigation this time, my greatest gain was actually not these things, but rather a matter concerning the Ghost Fire Envoy."

"The Ghost Fire Envoy? What happened to her?!" Hearing this, the group of Ghost Mansion's upper echelons were all stunned.

"The Ghost Fire Envoy, Sha Mushi, is an insider for the Heavenly Court. I have already killed her!"

"…"

As soon as these words were spoken, the great hall fell into dead silence…

After a long while, the group of Ghost Mansion's upper echelons were all dumbfounded.

"You… what did you say? You killed whom?!"

"You just said… you killed Sha Mushi?!"

"You… you aren't lying, are you?!"

"…"
