Chapter 4058: Forced Confession

"Heh!" The little stoic's voice held a desolate indifference. "How about I let you taste what it's like to drift in the void for hundreds of years?"

She raised a ball of blue flame in her hand, aimed it at the kneeling figures, and sternly rebuked, "If you don't speak, you can all die!"

"No, don't!!" The woman surnamed Wang let out a piercing scream. "This old servant is willing, willing to speak! Willing to speak!! Anything! Please, Crown Princess, have mercy, spare my younger family members!"

Qiao Mu's gaze turned towards her with utter indifference.

"That Zhang Huilan, I know, I know, she didn't escape with the Long family. Instead, she was, was taken, taken to a big, big noble family."

"Although they kept these things from me, I, I still found some clues. That Zhang Huilan, she, she has connections with the Mu family."

"The Mu family?"

"Yes, yes, that talisman-making family, the Mu, the Mu family."

Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. Circling around and around for a long time, how did it come back to the Mu family again?

"What I've said, every single word is true, I, I swear, I swear by my soul body, if I, I deceive the Crown Princess by half a word, then let me be struck by five thunders, my soul scattered, and in my next life, I won't even be able to be a pig, cow, or sheep."

Indeed, a venomous oath.

Qiao Mu coldly glanced at her, then nodded. "Remember what you said today."

With that, she waved her hand and put this wisp of a soul body into a storage talisman.

Qiao Mu coldly glanced at the men and women on the ground playing dead like quails, then walked out without a word.

"Wait until her words are verified as true or false before releasing them," Aoye waved his hand, and someone naturally escorted the crying men and women away.

This old ghost was very cunning, still thinking of serving her master until death at this point.

It was a pity that for anyone targeted by the Night Pavilion, their identity and background could not possibly remain unclear.

"Are her words true or false?" Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom turned to Mo Lian and asked.

"Half true, half false, I suppose," Crown Prince Mo sighed.

"Oh? At this critical juncture, she still dares not tell the truth?"

"This old cunning hag definitely knows more than just this. Qiao Qiao's heart is still too soft," a cold, dark glint flashed in Mo Lian's eyes, his gaze falling on the storage talisman containing Granny Wang.

The storage talisman trembled, and the old woman's extremely faint figure immediately dropped out, trembling and kneeling on the ground.

Before Mo Lian even spoke, she began kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Your Royal Highness, what this old servant said just now was all true, this old servant has already..."

Mo Lian waved his hand, and Aoye walked in holding a tray on which lay two bloody fingers.

"Ah!!" The old woman's shadowy face twisted in extreme effort.

"Right now, it's just two fingers," Mo Lian hooked his lips in a sneer. "Perhaps in less than half a quarter of an hour, it'll be an arm or an eyeball."

"You're very good. You deceived my Qiao Qiao," Mo Lian looked at her with an indifferent expression. "You knew the Crown Princess wouldn't actually do anything to your family."

"You understand her nature perfectly."

"Yes, the Crown Princess indeed won't take out her anger on your family," Mo Lian smiled and nodded at her, slowly leaning close to the woman, uttering two words in an extremely faint voice, "But I will."
