"A remnant of the previous dynasty, General?"

Upon hearing Liu Dashan's description of Qin Poyue, Su Wu's heart stirred.

He was a time traveler, and he was also schemed against and suppressed by his superiors, so he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to either the previous or current dynasty.

For Su Wu, his most important task right now is to survive in this cannibalistic Demon Suppression Prison.

"Perhaps, I can find an opportunity later to get closer to Qin Poyue in cell number 5."

"To extract some information from it."

Of course, Su Wu did not think about the information about the former dynasty princess that Zhao Yong and his group had interrogated Qin Poyue about.

The information that Zhao Yong and the others couldn't get through interrogation, they couldn't possibly obtain on their own.

Su Wunian only wanted some small pieces of information that could help him.

During this process, Su Wu tried his best to avoid eye contact with Wu Er.

He was afraid that he might not be able to control his murderous intent towards Wu Er at times, and that Wu Er would notice something was wrong.

After thinking about this for who knows how long, just when Su Wu felt his legs were about to go numb, a cold snort came from the door of the torture chamber.

Then, Zhao Yong, the prison warden, walked out of the torture chamber with a gloomy face, and there were even some bloodstains on the hem of his clothes.

"How stubborn!"

After saying this, Zhao Yong turned and left.

Behind him, prison clerk Chen Duo, with a fawning expression, trotted out to say goodbye to Zhao Yong.

"Wait a while, Prison Warden Zhao!"

After seeing Zhao Yong off, Chen Duo's expression gradually darkened.

He drank away the few prison guards in the torture chamber whose faces showed obvious signs of exhaustion.

He then turned around and looked at Su Wu and Liu Dashan, who were standing not far away, and waved to them impatiently.

"Come here."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan quickly pulled Su Wu along and jogged over to Chen Duo, speaking to him with a fawning smile.

"What are your orders, Lord Prison Secretary?"

Chen Duo glanced at Su Wu, who was also standing respectfully beside Liu Dashan, and waved to the two of them.

"It's nothing, it's just that you brought the person here, and you're the ones taking him back."

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan hurriedly beckoned Su Wu to follow him into the torture chamber to escort the person.

The moment Su Wu stepped into the torture chamber, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Unlike the damp and gloomy passageway outside, the torture chamber was filled with heat and a strong, pungent smell of blood, mixed with chili water and the scorched flesh.

Su Wu stood behind Liu Dashan and looked up at Qin Poyue, who was being interrogated.

At this moment, Qin Poyue was chained to a pillar, his prison clothes were torn to shreds, and the mottled bloodstains stained the tattered prison clothes dark red. His thin body trembled on the pillar.

His emaciated body, reduced to nothing but skin and bones, made it impossible to tell that he was a former general.

Even so, judging from Zhao Yong's words just now, he had endured countless tortures but still could not reveal the whereabouts of the former dynasty's princess.

Su Wu felt a strange sense of admiration for this kind of veteran with such faith.

Just then, Liu Dashan's voice rang out from beside Su Wu.

"Young Su, Qin Poyue has been beaten to such a state that he probably can't walk anymore."

"You and I will each support one of his shoulders and take him back to cell number 5."

Hearing Liu Dashan's instructions, Su Wu quickly came to his senses and, together with Liu Dashan, helped Qin Poyue out of the torture chamber and headed towards the direction of Wu Shiwu.

Watching Liu Dashan and Su Wu carry Qin Poyue away, Wu Er, who was waiting next to the torture chamber, approached Chen Duo and cautiously spoke up.

"Prison Master..."

"Let's talk when we get back." Before Wu Er could finish speaking, Chen Duo interrupted him directly.

"This is not the place to talk."

Upon hearing this, Wu Er quickly nodded to Chen Duo.

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Wu Er quickly followed Chen Duo and left the cell in cell number E.

Su Wu was completely unaware of Chen Duo and the others' departure.

At this moment, he and Liu Dashan helped Qin Poyue, who was covered in blood, back to the prison cell of Wu Shiwu.

After entering the cell, Liu Dashan did not treat the other prisoners as he would, simply letting them loosen their bodies and fall to the ground.

Instead, he instructed Su Wu to carefully support Qin Poyue and help him sit down against the wall.

"Thank...thank you."

Qin Poyue, who was on the verge of death from severe torture, felt Liu Dashan's kindness and thanked him weakly.

Faced with Qin Poyue's thanks, Liu Dashan waved his hand with a displeased expression.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Old Qin, I'm not trying to be mean, but is it worth it for someone who's not related to you by blood?"

"When you first came in, weren't they all treating you like royalty?"

"If you reveal the whereabouts of that girl, you can not only avoid punishment, but you might even be granted amnesty and get an official position."

"Unlike now, my martial arts cultivation is completely ruined, and I'm half-dead."

Faced with Liu Dashan's complaints, Qin Poyue simply lowered his head, breathing softly, and replied to Liu Dashan in a very weak voice.

"I...I'd like to..."

"You old bastard, you've got quite a temper!" Liu Dashan snorted coldly upon hearing Qin Poyue's reply.

"I only gave you this advice because we had a few drinks together when you were in prison and we had some acquaintance."

"I wouldn't bother talking to anyone else."

"Your previous dynasty has been dead for eight hundred years. I really don't know what's the point of clinging to that faint hope?"

At this point, Liu Dashan waved his hand somewhat displeased, then looked at Su Wu.

"Let's go, kid Su. Don't bother with this old stubborn man."

But just as the two were about to leave, Qin Poyue, who had been slumped on the ground, struggled to lift his head and look at them.

"etc……"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Qin Poyue.

"Old Qin, have you finally come to your senses?"

However, when asked by Liu Dashan, Qin Poyue gently shook his head, raised his weathered face, and hesitated as he looked at Liu Dashan.

"Old Liu... I... can I ask you for a favor?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan froze for a moment, then quickly closed the cell door and walked toward Qin Poyue with a frown.

"Old Qin, with your temper, I've never heard you use the word 'beg' before."

"For a man as strong and unyielding as Qin Poyue to utter the word 'beg,' the matter must be quite significant."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"If you're asking me to help you escape from prison, I definitely can't do it."

Even Su Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering what Qin Poyue was up to.

However, in the face of Liu Dashan's suspicion, Qin Poyue simply shook his head slightly and coughed out in a hoarse voice.

"What I seek is not something like escaping from prison that would endanger your life and fortune."

"What I ask for is very simple."

"Old Liu, I beg you... kill me."
