In the secret room where the faint fire flickered, Wu Yong was tightly locked by rough and cold iron chains, and his hands were bound behind his back, almost unable to move. The dark chains reflected a cold glow in the dim light.

His facial muscles began to distort after hearing Su Jiming's words, and his eyes, which were originally full of anger, gradually dimmed, like a flame in the wind, swaying on the edge of extinguishment. His face began to turn pale, and the fire in his eyes gradually died out, replaced by an endless darkness.

He began to realize that what Su Jiming said might be true. Cold fear quickly penetrated into every corner of my heart like spreading ink. He suddenly understood that his younger brother might really be in the hands of the other party, and his life and death were uncertain.

- This thought is like a huge black hole, mercilessly devouring his luck.

He closed his eyes and tried to calm his emotions.

After a moment, Wu Yong lowered his head, and the iron chain shook slightly, making a creaking sound.

He said weakly:

"Leave him alone, and I'll answer you truthfully with everything I know."

Su Jiming didn't agree, but just asked:

"Who is the one who hired you?"

After a brief silence, he replied, "It's someone from the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Pavilion." ”

Hearing this answer, Su Jiming couldn't help frowning.

The name was naturally familiar to him ... Wanbao Commercial Bank, a world-famous business giant, has a large scale and wide influence, in fact, it has long been out of the category of ordinary commercial banks.

The industries it involves span important fields such as spirit grass, demon beasts, and magic weapons, and every state and county, every town, and even some remote villages have their branches. These branches are like nodes, spread in every corner of the rivers and lakes, forming a huge network, extending the influence of Wanbao Shangge to the extreme.

It is also the "mall" of the game, and most of the resources that players want to buy can be found in Wanbao Comptoir, and this alone is enough to see the far-reaching influence of Wanbao Comptoir.

Su Jiming frowned, not because he was surprised by what Wu Yong said, on the contrary, he had already vaguely guessed this.

Long before that, he had checked the forces in the rivers and lakes one by one that he didn't know the details, and Wanbao Commercial Bank was one of them.

What really surprised him was that such a giant as Wanbao Commercial Bank was involved so quickly.

This means that the force hidden behind the plot line is far bigger than Su Jiming imagined.

"Some time ago, you should still be in the fourth realm..."

Su Jiming put away his thoughts, raised his head again and asked:

"How did you break through to the Fifth Realm in a month?"

The chasm between the fourth and fifth realms can be said to have separated tens of thousands of people... The fifth realm can already be regarded as a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes, Su Jiming has some doubts that the other party has broken through this barrier in just a few months, after all, not everyone is a night sparrow, if the other party really has this talent, how can he be nameless in the rivers and lakes.

Sure enough, Wu Yong's next answer just confirmed Su Jiming's guess.

"Wanbao Trading House gave me a Yuan Avoiding Demon Pill... It briefly raised my strength to the fifth realm. ”

"I didn't have long to live, so I agreed to their terms."

The Yuan Avoidance Demon Pill that Wu Yong said was the evil cultivation elixir of the Blood Demon Sect, which could sacrifice the Shouyuan of the person who took it, squeeze its potential to make it break through for a short time, and exert its strength that did not belong to its own realm.

And the reason why he agreed to Wanbao Trading House was precisely because he injured his foundation when he ran errands for others before, and he was already dying.

So this Wu Yong was an abandoned son from the beginning.

Su Jiming couldn't help but sigh.

Either way, it's always good to lock in a clue.

Su Jiming stared at the dying martial artist in front of him, and the trace of persistence and stubbornness burning in the other party's eyes was so weak that it was almost extinguished.

He shook his head and stood up, the faint light of the fire casting his long shadow on the ground in front of the warrior.

He then turned to the night sparrow on the side, and commanded:

"Give him a treat."

Hearing the command, Nightfinch nodded slightly, understanding. The short knife in his hand was like flowing water in the moonlight, and the knife flashed, and the cut air made a slight whistling.

Immediately after, the sword fell from his hand, the blood shone in the light, and Takefu's eyes were finally completely extinguished, and his head rolled to the ground with a gurgling face.

Su walked out of the dungeon without looking back.

Nightfinch soon followed, and spoke:

"The Son... And one more. ”

What she was talking about was Wu Tian, who was captured by the people of the Guogong Mansion, and thanks to the other party, Su Jiming tortured the clues of the forces behind the scenes from Wu Yong's mouth.

Su Jiming's movements paused, and then he spoke:

"Killed."

Cutting grass without removing roots is something that only impotentics can do.

Besides, he never promised the other party to let his brother live.

The greatest mercy he could have was to send the brothers to the underworld with joy.

.....

The matter of Wanbao Commercial Bank is quite a headache.

But it's much easier to deal with than the royal family and nobles of this world.

Su Jiming didn't plan to tear up his face with Wanbao Trading House so early... After all, his main task at the moment is to solve the threat of the protagonist of the plot.

And he didn't have a reason to attack Wanbao Firm directly, the other party did this matter very cleanly, leaving no evidence except for Wu Yong himself, and human evidence obviously cannot be used as conclusive evidence, even if he really intends to argue with Wanbao Firm on this matter, the final result is likely to be unsuccessful.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Jiming will expose this matter... Keep this account, and it's never too late to pay it back later.

The good news is that after this incident, Wanbao Comptoir should have gotten the news.

He shouldn't be in trouble for a long time to come.

And he only needs to concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the Spirit Sect and the Sword Sect.

Oh yes, speaking of the Spirit Sect...

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Su Jiming's face.

He seems to have forgotten to reply to Nan Liangsheng's message.

With the initiative in his hands, he naturally doesn't have to worry about the other party repenting... But he will inevitably have some contact with Lingzong in the future, and it will be embarrassing to meet him in the future if he has been hanging for too long.

He took out Xia Qianqing's communication magic weapon, and as soon as he injected his divine thoughts, the overwhelming news poured out.

[I am willing to agree to your terms... Are you still there? 】

【？？ 】

[Is there any new condition promised by the Sword Sect? ] 】

[I am willing to lend the Secret Book of the Spirit Sect for four months, and I would like to ask you to give a reply]

[Are you there?] Can you reply to me? 】

Looking at this inquiring divine thought, Su Jiming's mind couldn't help but think of the pitiful appearance of the Spirit Sect Palm Spirit Envoy squatting in front of the magic weapon and waiting for a reply.

His gaze rested on the last thought.

Your Excellency, don't deceive others too much! 】

It can be seen that this Miss Palm Spirit Envoy is really in a hurry.
