Xuanxia

Chapter 334 Absolute Defense
The flames crackled and the fishy smell wafted.

Led by the secret envoy, Ning Wushu and Zhao Hao slowly came to the deepest part of the prison.

At a glance, they saw Mannar tied to an iron chair.

All his clothes were stripped off, leaving not even his underpants. His originally thick, long, messy curly hair was trimmed cleanly, and even his eyebrows and beard were shaved off.

That way, he would never be able to hide anything.

But there were some mysterious and strange tattoos on Mannar's skin. They covered every inch of his skin on his chest and back. Under the dim firelight, these tattoos glowed with a faint green light.

As for the original jailers, doctors and others in the prison, they had naturally been cleared out.

He has woken up... but he looks a little strange. There is no life in his eyes, and his facial features are crooked. He looks like a fool.

"Second miss."

Seeing Ning Wushu coming, Li Jingzhe lowered his head and said, "Should we cover him with a piece of cloth? After all, this look is a bit indecent..."

Ning Wushu's eyes were calm. She looked at Mannar and said calmly, "I have seen many naked dead people on the battlefield. Let's save some time... Tell me, what's going on with him?"

"Yes."

Li Jingzhe nodded, looked at Manar, and said, "According to what the hell guards and doctors said, when they captured this man, the Wulin Alliance fed him a heart fly pill. As long as he has the thought of suicide in his life, he will fall into a coma."

"But from what I have observed, the effect of the Heart Fly Pill has worn off. Mannar's coma these days is due to excessive consumption of his spiritual power..."

Ning Wushu hummed and said, "The scene was too chaotic that day, and Master Wu didn't have time to observe more. It was my idea to feed the Heart Fly Pill - it shouldn't have caused any trouble, right?"

"No."

Li Jingzhe said: "In fact, he is almost a fool now. Huo Yaer possessed him and he fought with several cave masters. It had a huge impact on him. It is a miracle that he is not dead."

Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes, "No... Even if Manar came to carry out his suicide plan, 'leaving no way out' has never been the style of the Northern Barbarian Army Secretary. He couldn't have been unaware that he might become stupid - being imprisoned must be one of the results he considered, and he would not fail to prepare."

Li Jingzhe glanced at him and said, "Prince Zhao, that's a good point. Why don't you ask the prince to explain it?"

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes.

"Alright, Zhao Hao, stop interrupting and let Lord Li speak."

Ning Wushu glared at him and said to Li Jingzhe, "Master Li, I know you haven't finished yet, please continue."

"Yeah." Li Jingzhe's face looked better, and he continued, "If it were someone else, they might think that Mannar had become a fool, but Miss, have you seen the tattoos on Mannar's body?"

Ning Wushu nodded: "It's hard not to see."

"These tattoos were originally hidden under his skin and could not be seen with the naked eye."

Li Jingzhe's eyes revealed a hint of pride: "But I found something unusual in this Liao's soul, and finally realized that there was something mysterious about him. Finally, I found this totem and led it out."

"This tattoo has strong traces of witchcraft. Even if the caster is not Huo Yaer, it should be at least several Cave Heaven Realm experts... This witchcraft is very powerful. Its function is to protect Mannar's mind."

"According to my observation, it has separated a part of Mannar's soul. The core and most lucid part is kept in the deepest part, while the rest is shown to the outside world to confuse the enemy."

Ning Wushu listened and raised his eyebrows: "Sacrifice the rook to save the king?"

"Exactly that."

Li Jingzhe said: "In this way, although he seems to be ignorant and stupid, he has actually been silently observing his surroundings. As long as he wants, he can restore himself to normal at any time - therefore, he is waiting for an opportunity to escape... or commit suicide."

Ning Wushu narrowed his eyes: "So, is it possible to break this witchcraft?"

Li Jingzhe's eyes darkened: "As long as it is a spell, it can be broken - but as I said just now, this witchcraft is very powerful. If it is forcibly broken, it may directly wipe out Mannar's core soul and kill him." "If you really can't save him, then kill him..." Ning Wushu murmured: "This man is really cruel to himself."

Zhao Hao at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Does Mingjian Pavilion have a way to bypass this witchcraft and directly interrogate him?"

Li Jingzhe turned around and looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Zhao Hao didn't care. He spread his hands and said, "What's wrong? You Mingjian Pavilion are so powerful, you can't be stumped by a small witchcraft, right?"

Li Jingzhe said calmly: "As long as we bring him back to the capital and put him in prison, we will definitely find a way."

"No."

Ning Wushu said calmly: "We must solve the witchcraft here."

Li Jingzhe was startled and turned to her with some confusion: "Second Miss, why is this?"

Ning Wushu did not hide anything and said frankly, "I promised Fu Qingzhou to let him interrogate Manar here alone. Although he will go to the capital later, when he arrives in the capital, various forces will be intertwined. It will not be appropriate for him, a commoner, to interrogate a serious criminal under the eyes of everyone."

When Li Jingzhe said the three words "Fu Qingzhou", his eyes lit up like candlelight, and his expression was very complicated.

After she finished speaking, he said solemnly, "Second Miss, even for you, it's a bit too much to let a commoner interrogate a serious criminal from the Northern Barbarians."

"I see."

Ning Wushu smiled slightly: "If anything happens, I will take responsibility, you just need to report it truthfully."

Li Jingzhe frowned, his eyes sparkling, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Don't be like that." Ning Wushu turned to him and said with a smile: "In order to get the Wulin Alliance to cooperate with us, I even promised the Wuwang Sword to Alliance Leader Jiang."

After hearing this, Li Jingzhe almost fainted.

His eyes widened, his beard trembled, and his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Isn't the wealth of our parents meant for their children to squander?" Ning Wushu smiled and said, "If my father is not happy, just let him come to me. If Lord Li is worried about being held responsible, why not pretend to be knocked unconscious by me?"

"Ugh……"

Li Jingzhe sighed deeply: "I am a caveman, and you knocked me unconscious... Never mind, Miss, this is not the capital after all, we can't control it, just do as you please, if you need any help, just let me know."

After saying that, he waved his hand and prepared to leave with the members of Mingjian Pavilion.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the other side of the corridor.

It was a prison guard who ran over and bowed deeply in front of the group. "My Lords, the young Hidden Dragon Master Fu is here to visit... He said he came to get what General Ning promised him."

"Tsk, everyone is here now." Zhao Hao laughed. "This kid really knows how to pick the time. He came as soon as Mannar woke up? But in this situation, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything."

Li Jingzhe stood aside, looking unhappy.

Ning Wushu nodded to the jailer and said, "Bring him in."

The jailer must have left. Not long after, the sound of rolling wheels was heard in the dark corridor.

In the dim firelight, a bamboo wheelchair was seen slowly approaching. The jailer pushed the wheelchair and Fu Qingzhou sat slumped on it. He was extremely thin, but his eyes were deeper and brighter than ever before.

"Ha, there are quite a lot of people."

Fu Qingzhou glanced at the people present, and spoke in a low voice with some effort, but still smiled: "So, I came at the right time?"
