“You… what do you want to do? You… Ah!!”

"Hahaha… Old geezer! What am I? What did you say I am? Ah!"

"Slap" "Slap" "Hiss"…

Wei Zhongshan brought out various methods and began to torture Lin Tuo.

Even though Lin Tuo had a high Realm, since his Realm was Sealed, he was suffering a fate worse than death in Wei Zhongshan's hands.

"I… I was wrong, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Three days later, Lin Tuo gave in, having been tortured by Wei Zhongshan until he was in a wretched state.

"Big Brother, it's done!" Wei Zhongshan laughed.

"Alright, go back." Xiao Fan smiled and recalled Wei Zhongshan into the star chart.

"Hehehe… First question, did you all know about the relationship between Xiao Xuan and me a long time ago?" Xiao Fan looked at Lin Tuo and asked indifferently.

"Ye… Yes." Lin Tuo nodded.

"Hehehe… Second question, why does Di Yingtian keep Xiao Xuan by his side?"

"This… I don't know either." Lin Tuo shook his head.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan frowned and said coldly: "It seems you haven't suffered enough yet!"

Having said that, Xiao Fan released Wei Zhongshan.

Seeing Wei Zhongshan, Lin Tuo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "I really don't know! I'm not lying! Really!"

"You really don't know?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Really! Really…" Lin Tuo nodded repeatedly: "I only know that after Xiao Xuan joined the Celestial Court, the Celestial Emperor was very happy, extremely happy…"

"Happy? Why?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"This… I don't know." Lin Tuo shook his head. Seeing Xiao Fan's expression change, he hurriedly added: "However… I know the Ghost Lord knows! Yes! The Ghost Lord must also know why!"

"The Ghost Lord? The Ghost Lord must have known about the relationship between Xiao Li and me a long time ago as well, right?" Xiao Fan smiled.

"It should be." Lin Tuo nodded.

Confirming this from Lin Tuo's mouth, Xiao Fan's expression turned grim.

The Ghost Lord and the Celestial Emperor both knew, they knew from the very beginning. Why did they want to keep Xiao Li and Xiao Xuan by their sides?

Xiao Fan certainly did not believe that these two had no ulterior motives.

"Big Brother, what's the situation? Should I continue to deal with him?" Wei Zhongshan asked, looking confused.

"Not for now, you go back." Xiao Fan shook his head and recalled Wei Zhongshan into the star chart again.

Seeing Wei Zhongshan disappear, Lin Tuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, Xiao Fan asked many things, and Lin Tuo told him everything he knew without reservation.

However, Lin Tuo didn't know much about why they kept Xiao Xuan by their side, or about the matters concerning Shengtian Mansion.

According to Lin Tuo, there seemed to always be a tacit understanding between the Ghost Lord and the Celestial Emperor.

"Tacit understanding? What kind of tacit understanding?" Xiao Fan asked.

"It's as if… everything was arranged by the two of them." Lin Tuo said in a low voice: "There were many times when there was clearly an opportunity to severely damage the Ghost Mansion, but Di Yingtian refused."

"Why refuse?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Various reasons… The most outrageous time, Di Yingtian said he was afraid of angering the Ghost Lord and being retaliated against." Lin Tuo shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Fan believed Lin Tuo's words.

From Lin Tuo, Xiao Fan learned most of the truth.

Of course.

The things Xiao Fan wanted to know most, perhaps only the Ghost Lord could answer them now.

"Xiao Fan, I've already told you everything you wanted to know. Can you let me go? Think about it carefully, I was actually quite good to you…" Lin Tuo looked at Xiao Fan pitifully.

It was Lin Tuo who had recruited Xiao Fan to join the Celestial Court.

Just now, Lin Tuo confessed that he had sacrificed himself, allowing himself to become one of the attached spirits of Lingxiao Palace.

The so-called attached spirit is something that attaches to Lingxiao Palace, counting as half an artifact spirit, but not as good as an artifact spirit.

"Hehehe… Are those dead people you summoned also a capability of Lingxiao Palace?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Yes." Lin Tuo nodded.

In the great war between the Celestial Court and the Ghost Mansion, the Celestial Court fought with increasing vigor; many people who died were all resurrected, which was one of the capabilities of Lingxiao Palace.

But this capability is different from the black ring.

The black ring requires absorbing souls, and then using the black ring's Origin Power to resurrect them.

Lingxiao Palace requires sacrifices, and for this, the Celestial Court had made preparations for countless years.
