Chapter 1168: Sacrifice

Zhao Xuanjing seemed to be recalling what this Great Consort Hui looked like, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no impression of her at all.

“Since she has a talisman on her, there should be an expert by her side,” Zhao Xuanjing said.

He was a little worried about Xie Qiao.

These black-clothed people were not a big problem, but this incident was extremely mysterious. If they secretly used some method, she would not be able to help.

Xie Qiao looked at Fu Ankai and continued to ask, “When you followed this person, did you see anything else? What evil things did they do?”

As Xie Qiao spoke, she asked Xie Pinggang to record everything.

Fu Ankai thought for a moment, “He killed many people, but I don’t know them. I only know that they were all from Prince Rong’s fief. Some of them were from poor families. Their daughters… Their daughters were young and beautiful, but they could not be bought by force. Their entire family suffered.”

His daughter was also young, and she was only twelve years old.

Xie Qiao was already a little worried when she heard that.

The women who were taken away would probably not have a good ending. They could either become slaves, concubines or…

She already suspected that the first princess’ illness was related to Great Consort Hui. If that was the case, there must be an evil person around Great Consort Hui. When this evil person performed evil techniques, they would often need the blood of children and women as sacrifices…

If that was the case, Fu Ankai’s daughter would most likely be in grave danger.

Xie Qiao did not give him too much hope and told him the truth.

When Fu Ankai heard that, his entire soul could not help but tremble. He looked even more pale and weak, looking very pitiful.

“I-I’m useless. I did a small business and actually implicated my parents, wife, and children. If I can find my daughter now, that would naturally be good. If I can’t… Master, please try your best to find her corpse, or… sacrifice the person who killed my daughter to the Heavens!”

At first, he really did not have any thoughts of taking revenge.

Now, hearing that his daughter was very likely to be killed by witchcraft…

He felt completely different now.

He also knew that if he gotten involved with witchcraft, he might even lose his soul. It would not be just death…

How could he not be resentful?

At this moment, the black-clothed man’s heart had already turned cold.

How was this an interrogation? Xie Qiao was only looking at him, and she had actually thoroughly investigated all the things he had done in the past! In fact, many things were only known to himself, and now, they had all been revealed!

How could he hide that?!

He looked nervous, but when he saw that the Taoist master did not seem to have any intention of asking him, he became even more flustered. “Is there… something beside me?”

When Xie Qiao heard that, she sneered. “Are you going to interrogate me now, or should I interrogate you?”

The black-clothed man’s legs trembled.

He was really not afraid of living things.

However, if it was something dead…

He had done many evil deeds, and he was also worried that he would have to pay back his debts after he died… He was not afraid that there would be ghouls looking for him in his dreams, but he was afraid that what he had done wrong in this life would implicate him in suffering in the next life.

He was born lowly, and he thought that it was because he was unlucky. However, if he had to suffer for the rest of his life because of what had happened in this life, then… how could he have the chance to make a comeback?

“I already know what I should know now. If there’s anything that’s not clear that you’d like to clarify, I won’t stop you. If you don’t, I’ll send you on your way in a while,” Xie Qiao’s tone was indifferent, it was as if she was already looking at a dead person.

The black-clothed man was not at ease. He carefully said, “H-How’s hell like…”
