Su Xi watched Karl, who was in a fit of rage, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.
To think that with just a few minor tricks, he would dare to make a move against them.
What's more, Karl probably hadn't grasped the reality of the situation; he was already tied up and defenseless.
Seeing the smile on Su Xi's face, Karl instantly knew he had been tricked. Yet, even though he knew he'd been deceived, Karl also understood that he couldn't miss this opportunity now.
Otherwise, if he didn't tell the truth now, he might not survive.
He had heard of Su Xi's methods before, knowing that Su Xi was by no means a simple person. Angering him would lead to exceptionally cruel punishments.
Karl felt immense resentment towards himself for being played.
Despite his dissatisfaction with everything, he knew that if he didn't speak the truth, he certainly wouldn't live.
Therefore, for his own safety, he had to be cautious. The secret was a minor issue now; the most important thing was to survive.
Su Xi frowned as she looked at the unresponsive Karl and said, "You'd better tell the truth now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
She didn't have much patience, and if this continued to drag on, problems might arise.
She understood the principle that the longer the night, the more dreams.
An undisguised killing intent emanated from Su Xi, instantly chilling the air.
One shouldn't make it too easy for someone like Karl. Otherwise, who knew what kind of thoughts he might have.
Some people just couldn't be given too much leeway.
To verify Su Xi's words, Gui Lao had no intention of holding back.
The power in his hand suddenly accelerated, and an even stronger force surged towards Karl, preparing to finish him off directly.
As Gui Lao's actions continued, Karl's pained screams grew louder, and cold sweat began to pour from his head, instantly drenching his clothes.
Karl felt utterly exasperated. How could he have encountered someone like Su Xi?
Couldn't he be given a little dignity?
Despite his inner frustration, the physical pain forced him to beg, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Don't torture me anymore, I can't take it."
Hearing Karl's plea, Su Xi rubbed her ear and said, "Is it too late for you to talk now?"
She had already been provoked, and it wouldn't be easy to let him off.
Only after venting her anger would she stop.
Without Su Xi's command, Gui Lao's attack naturally did not cease. Not only did it not stop, but it even intensified.
Under the relentless barrage of attacks, Karl felt as though he was about to ascend to heaven. The pain was like being caught looking at private images in bed and then having it broadcast live.
Seeing that Karl was on the verge of breaking down, Su Xi decided to stop. She waved her hand, signaling Gui Lao to pause.
After stopping Gui Lao, Su Xi looked at Karl and asked, "Are you going to talk now?"
Karl nodded, his body feeling weak and sore.
At this point, he had no intention of hiding anything further. He just wanted to deal with Su Xi as quickly as possible. Moreover, he had wanted to speak earlier, but Su Xi had not allowed it.
"Tell me your arrangements," Su Xi asked Karl, seeking the information she most desired.
At this juncture, if she didn't know the Star Lord's arrangements, it would be unrealistic to deal with them later.
Su Xi had long wished to kill the Star Lord and certainly couldn't afford to be careless.
Karl glanced at Su Xi and smiled, "Someone has already informed the Star Lord of your whereabouts, and he now knows you are on a planet within this star system."
"His purpose in sending me here this time is not only to obtain the origin of this world but, more importantly, to find your whereabouts."
Hearing Karl's words, Su Xi felt puzzled. "What is origin power?"
She had never heard of such a term, nor had she heard of any way to obtain the origin power of this place.
Karl looked at Su Xi and said, "Every planet has its own representative power. Only by finding the Son of Heavenly Fortune of the planet and stripping him of his energy can one obtain the energy of the entire planet."
"These planetary origin powers can provide immense energy, helping us to implement our subsequent plans."
Hearing Karl's explanation, Su Xi felt as though a new world had opened up. She asked doubtfully, "Then do you know who the Son of Heavenly Fortune of this planet is?"
Karl shook his head and denied, "Currently, we have tested many people, but none have met the standard. Only someone named Lin Qing was the closest. However, after testing, we found that he still didn't meet the requirements."
"To find the Son of Heavenly Fortune as quickly as possible, we specially came to the Underworld to obtain the Book of Life and Death and find that Son of Heavenly Fortune."
Upon hearing Karl's words, Su Xi finally understood.
These people had gone to such great lengths and caused such a commotion in the Underworld all for this purpose.
Karl revealed all the information he knew, then looked at Su Xi with a hint of foolishness in his eyes. "Now that I've told you everything, shouldn't you let me go?"
Although he knew Su Xi was unlikely to let him go, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
Hearing Karl's words, Su Xi nodded and said, "You are right. Now that I have the information, you can leave."
Karl looked up, shocked, and couldn't believe it.
She was actually letting him go?
Could he have misheard?
After a moment of stunned silence, he asked uncertainly, "You're really letting me go? You're not joking."
No matter how Su Xi spoke, there was an undeniable sense of disbelief.
"Do I look like someone who goes back on their word? You go ahead, we still have things to do."
As if to prove her words, Su Xi left the place with True Man Tiangang.
Now that their task was completed, keeping someone was of no use to them.
In the blink of an eye, Su Xi and True Man Tiangang had already departed.
Seeing that no one was around, Karl didn't hesitate and turned to flee in another direction.
He was now very worried that if Su Xi changed her mind, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Therefore, for his own safety, he had to leave this place as quickly as possible.
Having lost the Fire Cloud Mech, he could only rely on his own two legs.
He had to get away from this place quickly to have a chance to communicate with the outside world and escape this hellhole.
However, before he could leave, he suddenly felt a flash of white light before his eyes, followed by a chilling sensation behind him, as if something was following him.
This strange feeling was like being hit with a handful of icy snow in the dead of winter.
"Who's there?" Karl turned around, trying to find the source of this eerie sensation.
But behind him, it was empty, with no response. Not even a rustle, which momentarily paralyzed him.
Unable to figure out what was happening, he knew he had to get away from this place quickly.
Everything on this planet was similar to ancient civilizations, so he had to be extremely cautious for his own safety.
If he didn't leave now, Karl knew he would never be able to.
But just as Karl was about to leave, he suddenly saw a ball of light appear before him, and then he felt as if he had been slapped hard.
"???"
What was going on?
Karl looked around, trying to find the source of everything.
But after searching, he found no trace of any enemy, nor could he figure out who had hit him.
???
This was too strange.
Karl managed to utter only one sound before he began to run forward rapidly. Only by leaving this place could he resolve the current problem.
But before he could resolve the problem, he suddenly felt a dark light appear in front of him.
He wanted to stop, but the immense gravitational pull made it impossible. He could only watch as he was slowly engulfed.
"Ah!" Karl screamed and was then swallowed by a giant mouth.
Su Xi knew that Karl wouldn't survive, so she didn't concern herself with what happened to him.
Now that she knew the Star Lord's secret, she certainly couldn't let him off so easily.
Looking at everything before her, Su Xi said, "Grandmaster, this planet is no longer safe. We should find a way to leave."
One had to act before making a move, so others couldn't discover them.
True Man Tiangang nodded and looked at Su Xi. "Not being discovered by others is inherently an easy task. There's no need to worry too much."
After True Man Tiangang spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a black light shot out.
The moment this black light was unleashed, Su Xi felt the entire ground begin to tremble.
Then, her spiritual sense seemed to malfunction, becoming completely unresponsive.
What was going on?
Su Xi looked at True Man Tiangang, confused, not knowing what had happened.
Although everything that had just happened was very simple, it was clear that she knew things were different from before.
Moreover, since True Man Tiangang had said so much, he wouldn't have spoken without reason; he must have had a purpose.
It was just that this purpose was very hidden, and they hadn't discovered it.
Only when True Man Tiangang explained it himself could they understand the key to the matter.
