Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 460 - 459 Investigation (Thanks to Alliance Leader ’Tangmen Xiaohao’ for the reward)

This man, restricted by multiple means and completely immobilized, was the main perpetrator of the recent violent outbreak, Yan Hai's brother, Yan Shan.

According to the records, he was the first cultivator at the 7th realm to go berserk at the scene, not only destroying all the pills and magical treasures but also injuring dozens of Immortal Blood beings, causing several streets to be ruined, later subdued by the arriving cultivators from West Mountain City.

Although he exhibited madness during the conflict, since his capture, he had been very normal and even calm, showing no signs of craziness.

However, for safety's sake, Yan Shan was still heavily restricted and confined here.

'Yan Shan is well-known in Central City as a notorious second-generation troublemaker; this guy should be easier to break.'

Observing his calm demeanor, Qiu Xingze said, "Yan Shan, right? You've caused a huge commotion this time, nearly a million points in losses. I heard Lord Yan Zhen almost wanted to skin you alive,"

"And the Immortal Blood beings you injured in West Mountain City, quite a few had their cultivation potentials severely affected, likely unable to progress further."

"Lord Yan Zhen has given up on you. If no one protects you from now on, you might spend your whole life stuck here."

"But if you can provide me with useful clues, I can apply to have you moved to a more comfortable place to cooperate with my investigation."

After saying that, Qiu Xingze gestured to the side, and the staff approached to remove Yan Shan's mask.

Qiu Xingze said, "Let's hear it, what do you know?"

Yan Shan remained silent, Qiu Xingze frowned and said, "I'm giving you one chance. If you don't speak, just wait to rot here forever."

After a moment of silence, Yan Shan spoke coldly, "I am wronged."

Qiu Xingze responded, "Explain in detail."

Yan Shan declared, "Bring my father here; I won't speak to anyone else but him."

Qiu Xingze replied, "Yan Zhen has already given up on you. I am the only person who can help you now."

Yan Shan threatened, "Tell Yan Hui that if he does not come to see me, the entire Central City will know their secrets. Even if nothing happens to him, he'll still have to clean up a big mess."

Yan Shan's tone was calm and deep, not at all like his usual frivolous and prodigal demeanor.

...

Three hours later, the door to the sickroom opened again, and a figure in a black robe slowly walked in.

Yan Shan's eyes widened in shock, feeling the whole room start to darken, the air becoming increasingly oppressive, and the light in the room seemed to twist slightly.

From beneath the robe came Yan Zhen's voice, "You wanted to see me?"

Yan Shan gritted his teeth and said, "I know your secrets. I've already made arrangements. If I disappear for more than ten days, the whole of Central City will know your secrets. I know you are not afraid, but this will somewhat hinder your plans, won't it?"

Yan Zhen coldly said, "Childish." After those words, he turned and left, seemingly unconcerned with Yan Shan's statement.

But Yan Shan knew that the fact Yan Zhen had come to see him spoke volumes, so he sneered and called out, "Which son am I to you? The tenth? The hundredth? Or the thousandth?"

"Immortal beings can transform their bodies and enhance their Primordial Spirits by consuming Immortal Blood, even increasing their Taoist understanding... but is that really Immortal Blood?"

Yan Zhen turned back around, surprisingly looking at Yan Shan, "Interesting, is your usual frivolous demeanor just a disguise?"

With a tone of utter calm and rationality, Yan Shan said, "After all, we inherit your bloodline. Even if everyone is treated like pigs being raised, surely some will awaken?"

Yan Zhen curiously asked, "What do you want? To be redeemed and then live in anonymity for the rest of your life? Or to take on a new identity and study at one of the Four Great Taoist Schools?"

A look of terror and dread flashed across Yan Shan's face, "Gu Tianle... this mysterious man is the true mastermind behind everything. During my time confined here, I've been contemplating his actions."

"His voice can strip away people's sanity, his written words spread madness, and even his form has surpassed human understanding. Looking directly at him can cause pain severe enough to bring tears from the pain that transcends human comprehension."

"Gu Tianle... he is not human. But something much more sinister and bizarre."

"His actions, I suspect, are not as straightforward as they seem, not just for some magical treasures and pills, but for some deeper significance we have yet to comprehend."

"The Plague Department has already started investigating Gu Tianle, right?... I want to join."

"I have had the deepest contact and most communication with him; I can help you find him."
