Chapter 707

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ruping smiled and said, "I've already told him that I need to ask Zhang Xiaohu personally. If I don't go, he won't be able to be ruthless. After all, if he leaves me aside, he will be the first to lose his reason. In the future, he won't be able to gain the upper hand."

Aunt Qin listened thoughtfully, but there was some worry in her eyes.

When Chen Chen heard this, he didn't understand at all. He was only thinking about how to tell Yang Ruping the reason that his Senior Brother and Senior Sister had made up!

Yang Ruping underestimated Zhong Pei and didn't expect Zhao Jian to be so vicious. Just when she thought that everything was under control, Zhong Pei had already made a ruthless move, wanting to get what he wanted from Zhang Xiaohu's mouth. Zhao Jian wanted to kill him, but after weighing the pros and cons, he took a step back and crippled Zhang Xiaohu's internal strength.

After all, there were many ways to interrogate. It was inevitable to make a mistake. Even if Zhong Pei knew, what was done could not be undone. At most, he would be scolded. Perhaps, this would be to his advantage. He might even be rewarded!

In the next few days, the disciples that Yang Ruping and Zhong Pei sent to Lingering Fragrance Peak didn't return, nor did they send any orders. Yang Ruping only protected Changge and Chen Chen from being tortured, but Zhang Xiaohu in another part of the dungeon suffered a great punishment.

Since his dantian was broken by Zhang Xiaohu that day, Zhang Xiaohu's decades of cultivation had been lost. However, the major acupoints on his body hadn't been opened, so the law enforcement disciples didn't realize that his internal strength had been crippled. They still took turns to torture him, and Zhang Xiaohu also wanted it. From the initial screams to the later groans, he clenched his teeth and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.

At first, Zhao Jian was worried that his shady methods would be discovered. However, after two days, there was no movement. He became even bolder and followed behind the law enforcement disciples. Sometimes, he would even personally go into battle to practice his interrogation techniques.

On the seventh day, the disciples sent by Yang Ruping and Zhong Pei came back and said that they had already explained the reason to the inner sect disciples. The disciples also reported this matter to the Sect Master, but the Sect Master didn't give any instructions and just asked them to come back.

Yang Ruping and Aunt Qin looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what kind of medicine the Cult Leader was selling in his gourd. Yang Ruping even wanted to personally go to Lingxiang Peak to ask, but she was afraid that as soon as she left Shixin Peak, Zhang Xiaohu and the others' lives would be in danger. On the other hand, when Zhong Pei heard his disciple's report, he couldn't help being wild with joy. Wasn't this an obvious signal?

The Cult Leader agreed with his point of view and did not bring back any instructions, which was tacit approval. Therefore, Zhong Pei seemed to have seen the Cult Leader's smiling face on Lingering Fragrance Peak when he was at Shixin Peak, which made him even more energetic.

It didn't matter if he was full of energy, but Zhang Xiaohu was unlucky.

In the first seven days, Zhong Pei was still very restrained. He only asked the law-enforcement disciples to use some methods that couldn't see the scars so that he could give an explanation to Yang Ruping. Now that he had the Cult Leader's tacit approval, he seemed to be more unscrupulous. The first thing he did was to serve Zhang Xiaohu with a poisonous whip. Seventy-two lashes, he whipped Zhang Xiaohu's body until it was badly mutilated and he fainted a few times!

Poor Zhang Xiaohu. He was already twenty-five years old. When had he ever been subjected to such a cruel punishment?

Even when he came from Guozhuang House to Ping Yang City, he had to endure the supercilious looks and difficulties of others. It was just some of the fickleness of the human world. Later, when he became a direct disciple of the Misty School, he was flattered by others, which was hard to come by. Then, when the Misty School was destroyed, although he was a direct disciple, his martial arts were weak. He fought with others for only a few moves before his acupoints were sealed and he was kicked to the side. Others died, but he only had the oily skin on his head broken.

The most dangerous thing was the battle with the Blood Wolf in the Youlan Grand Canyon. He almost died in the wolf's belly. But even in that battle, there was a long song by his side. There was the lingering beauty and the heart-stirring heroic spirit. It only highlighted the heroic struggle between man and beast.

In this dark and gloomy dungeon, all his martial arts were crippled and he became a useless person who could no longer practice martial arts. A few days ago, he was still full of heroic spirit and almost wanted to point out the world. But now, he had fallen from the clouds into the swamp. The smelly mud polluted his mouth and nose, making Zhang Xiaohu breathless. He really wanted to die. On the other hand, his body was also going through unprecedented torture from inside out. The pain made him faint a few times every day. This pain directly hit his heart and made his heart stronger!

One time, when he woke up from his coma, he felt the disappointment in his heart and the pain in his body. Suddenly, a sentence came into Zhang Xiaohu's mind, "For a person of great power, he must first suffer hardships in his heart, toil his muscles and bones, starve his skin and skin, and empty his body …" Wasn't this what Li Jinfeng often said?

When Zhang Xiaohu heard it, he didn't understand. When he understood the meaning, he felt that it was pedantic. He only thought that it was a scholar working behind closed doors. But now, when he thought about it, it was like sweet dew that moistened his withered heart and killed the gradually budding will to die. Thus, this whipping, this torture, in Zhang Xiaohu's eyes, gradually became a method to train him. His will became stronger and stronger under this test …

Zhang Xiaohu, this' seedling 'that had never experienced wind and rain, was now gradually growing under the ravages of Zhong Pei and Zhao Jian!

Just as Zhang Xiaohu was being whipped in the dungeon of Shixin Peak, Zhang Xiaohua on Tian Mu Peak was also being ravaged!

However, the person who was ravaging Zhang Xiaohua was not anyone else, but himself!

That day, after Zhang Xiaohua killed Deputy Hall Master Xu, he escaped back to Tian Mu Peak. The next morning, he met Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu who came to visit. He thought that the news had been leaked, but looking at the two of them, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

But after the two of them left, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be careless. Since he was pretending to be injured, then he could only pretend till the end to avoid attracting the attention of Tian Mu Peak or Lingering Fragrance Peak. However, Zhang Xiaohua's meridians were healing day by day and the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak had yet to appear. Even the disciples of Baiyue Peak's Pill Expanding Hall didn't come to Tian Mu Peak to test Zhang Xiaohua. This put Zhang Xiaohua in a difficult position. He had no choice. Every day when he woke up, he looked at his healed meridians and internal injuries. He could only forcefully circulate his internal energy to expand his meridians or use other methods to aggravate his injuries to ensure that he was injured!

Day after day of "destruction", until seven days later, there was still no news or movement. On this day, Zhang Xiaohua was furious. Every time he injured himself, he would recover extremely quickly the next day. In the past few days, the recovery speed of his meridians had sped up again. It seemed that the meridians in his body had adapted to his "injuries".

"Fine, I don't care who it is. This Shaoxia is already like this. If it really doesn't work, I will learn from Huanhuan and find a place to hide. Who would have the patience to serve you?" Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself.

Hence, he didn't create any more obstacles. His injuries healed rapidly day by day.

"Could it be that something went wrong?

Deputy Hall Master Xu's corpse wasn't discovered?

Or he wasn't killed? "

"That can't be right. If he wasn't killed, wouldn't I be in danger?

The disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak should have come long ago? "

"If he wasn't discovered, then who took him away?

I remember that the restriction was removed at that time. "

Every time Zhang Xiaohua thought of this peaceful scene, his imagination would run wild.

Alas, Zhang Xiaohua had overestimated his own influence and underestimated the strength of the Lingering Fragrance Cult.

Zhang Xiaohua was just a little medicine boy of Tian Mu Peak. Even if he had saved a few disciples of Tuo Dan Hall, in the eyes of the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak, it wasn't a matter at all. It was absolutely insignificant. It was even more impossible for them to link him with Deputy Hall Master Xu's death. Moreover, he was seriously injured the moment he returned to Tian Mu Peak. Even if Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu knew a little about the grudge between Deputy Hall Master Xu and Zhang Xiaohua, it was only a fleeting thought in their minds. He was injured to the point of vomiting blood. How could he run to Bai Yue Peak to kill someone?

Even if he wasn't injured, one was an inner disciple while the other was a little medicine boy. This was absolutely not proportionate. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had wasted such a long time in vain. They simply didn't put him in the scope of suspicion!

Moreover, the news of Deputy Hall Master Xu's death had spread to Lingering Fragrance Peak. Lingering Fragrance Peak was naturally quite shocked. After all, there were only a few people who could be a Hall Master. Deputy Hall Master Xu's martial arts was also high. His inexplicable death naturally aroused suspicion. However, Deputy Hall Master Xu originally had a background. Although he was usually very careful, there would always be some clues in the place where he lived. How could the inner disciples and Disciplinary Hall's disciples not find any clues if they carefully checked?

Therefore, it was very easy for them to treat Deputy Hall Master Xu's "death" as something related to the Lingering Fragrance Cult and other sects. Since their starting point was wrong, of course they wouldn't find Zhang Xiaohua's head!

On this day, Zhang Xiaohua stretched his body as he walked out of the house. Immediately, several disciples gathered in front of him. They were all laughing and talking at the same time, "Junior Brother Ren, have you rested well?"

"Junior Brother Ren, how is your body recovering?

I have here the 'Great Revitalizing Pill' from Lingering Fragrance Peak. How about I give it to you first? "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he immediately had a headache. Since a few days ago, Zhang Xiaohua's body had recovered. There were often many disciples who came to his small house to express their concern. It couldn't be said that these disciples were not sincere. They didn't really want Zhang Xiaohua to recover quickly. However, when Zhang Xiaohua saw their slightly exaggerated expressions and charming smiles, his heart was extremely uncomfortable. If one wanted to stand out, one should rely on one's own strength. If one only climbed up the thigh of others, it would not be one's own and it would not be up to them. Others just shook their legs and you would fall down. This was not the right way.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua quickly cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks for your kind intentions, Senior Brothers. Little Brother's injuries have been controlled. I will slowly recuperate. Senior Brothers, please do your own things. I just heard from Senior Brother Lu that Head Master Chen might come in a while. If he saw you, it would be inappropriate for Senior Brothers!"
