"Yeah, just speak the truth, and Senior Brother Jun Xie will… repair your body."
Mo Da stared at the disciple who said these words.
'Shu Xian.'
He remembered his name quite vividly.
Shu Xian was one of the main targets in this ambush.
When he first got to know about this, he felt surprised seeing the priority list of the targets - Shu Xian was at the top of the list.
Even though he wanted to know the reason behind it, he didn't dare to ask anything and just followed the instructions.
Now that he had utterly failed, he was sure that there was no way out of this situation.
He would die here.
He stared at the Gracious Sword Sect disciples in front of him.
Even though he seemed quite surprised and even elated by their proposal, his eyes betrayed his emotions.
In the end, he let out a sigh.
"Only idiots show compassion to the enemy," He said, "And I just killed you some time ago, even though you are standing in front of me, not all of your fellow disciples are here."
"Do you think I will believe your words?" His expression turned into a sneer.
He was laughing at the disciples.
'How dare they underestimate me. As if I will so easily betray the hands that have fed me.'
"Mo Da… I am a man of my word," Jun Xie replied, "And I vow you with my cultivation at stake that I will reattach your leg and hands."
A seed of doubt sprouted in Mo Do's heart.
In the cultivation world, vow based on cultivation is not taken lightly.
Heaven's Will would definitely target Jun Xie if he dared to break his promise.
In the end, Mo Da felt that he needed a few more things to his advantage.
Thus he asked, "Even if you do reattach my arms, you will most definitely kill me. If you don't kill me, someone else will."
"Kid, it's better just to kill me now because you won't get any information from me. I have already accepted my death."
Jun Xie let out a sigh, "Alright, I vow on my cultivation that no one will try to kill you. Once you tell us why you have ambushed us and who's the person behind this, we will go our way without even harming you."
"All of you?" Mo Da frowned.
He took a note of everyone else besides Jun Xie.
But he didn't see the expression that he was expecting. Rather, instead of mocking him, he found out that they were as confused as he was at Jun Xie's words.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Yuan Shuchun frowned.
She had remained quiet the whole time, but now she couldn't keep her calm.
There was no way she would forgive someone who tried to kill her.
"It's alright," Jun Xie gestured to calm her down, "There's no point in killing him. Our main enemy is his master."
Then turning towards Mo Da, he frowned and showed his impatience, "Mo Da, you can choose to die. But the death won't be swift. And you won't even be able to commit suicide. I have already taken care of your… ways."
"So tell me, do you wish to spill the information, or do you want to get tortured until you spill everything and then die?"
Mo Da frowned.
He was now having double thoughts.
"You can choose to get tortured and remain loyal." It was Ye Tian Yun who spoke this time.
"But don't forget that there's no way anyone would come here to save you. Your master, whom you're loyal to, didn't even tell you about the enemies' real strength."
"I am sure you aren't a servant of nobody. Your master must have been a bigshot. Tell us, who was it? Tell us the details of this mission, and who else knows this?"
Mo Da pursed his lips.
What Ye Tian Yun said made him doubt his loyalty.
Even though he had served his master for so many years, his emotions were now turning to disarray at death's door.
He felt vulnerable to doubts, and his will to live was getting heavier than his confidence to embrace death.
He thought for a moment, but in the end, shook his head.
"Even if I tell you people, my days are already numbered. I will be killed as soon as someone recognizes me, and over the years, I have made quite a name of myself."
"Oh, you're famous?" Jun Xie raised his eyebrows, "What is the name you're known as?"
Mo Da turned his head to the corpses of his two dead brothers and let out a sigh, "It's all useless now. Just kill me; I won't tell you anything."
'There's no point in wasting my time. I am an assassin, and death is part of my job.'
"Alright."
Just then, he heard a word and felt someone moving close to him.
It was Shu Xian.
He came right in front of him, and bending his knees, he sat on his one sole and foot and held Mo Da's chin.
Mo Da didn't show any fear in his eyes and stared straight at his opponent.
Suddenly, he saw Shu Xian giving him a slight smile, and then he patted Mo Da's shoulders.
This confused everyone, but they didn't say anything.
They knew that Shu Xian wasn't going to kill him.
Near the tree, Ye Tian Yun gently smiled at Mo Da and asked him, "This will be your last chance. I will ask one question, and if you give a wrong answer or choose not to say anything, you will feel hurt."
Mo Da sneered, "Kid, I have already lost my hands and legs. Do you think there's anything that can make me feel pain and yet keep me alive?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, and then taking his hand back, he formed a fist in front of him,
And then, slowly opening the fist, he showed something to Mo Da.
As soon as Mo Da looked at the palm, he felt a liquid trickle down from the side of his head.
However, he didn't have the senses to care about it because he was suddenly feeling intense pain as fear took over his mind while staring at Ye Tian Yun's palm.
In his hand was an ear.
