"At least, they tried one or two before speaking."
"As for you, you admitted defeat before it even started. Shame on you as a Guardian!"
Le Tian, "...."
He didn’t argue back; he felt it entirely unnecessary.
Because in the past, someone did argue, and in the end, was compelled to try one of the punishments, fainting from the pain.
Since then, almost anyone entering the Punishment Hall, when Princess Consort Le is present, does not need punishment.
They naturally confess honestly.
"Alright, it’s time to talk!" Princess Consort Le said.
Le Tian paused for about five or six seconds before continuing, "I came to kill you because the Sect Leader is no longer."
"No longer?" Princess Consort Le’s face changed drastically, "How is this possible?"
"The Sect Leader had Innate Power and was in his sixties this year."
"How could he be gone?"
"You’re lying to me?"
The next moment, a powerful killing intent emanated from Princess Consort Le.
Le Tian, lying on the ground, couldn’t open his mouth fully due to the oppressive killing intent.
And his injuries were significantly worsening, seeming if the killing intent lingered, he would be doomed.
Lin Xi immediately stepped up and said, "Princess Consort Le, calm down."
"Otherwise, you won’t get any information."
Hearing him say this, Princess Consort Le tried her best to calm down.
Evidently, she also noticed Le Tian’s condition.
"Go on!" she coldly said to Le Tian.
Le Tian, after about five or six seconds, continued, "The new Sect Leader took over and sent me to eliminate you!"
"Yes, you know the new Sect Leader, the second disciple of the old Sect Leader, Yue Ying!"
"So you should understand it’s not me targeting you, but I’m forced."
"Otherwise, the Sect Leader would eliminate me."
Princess Consort Le didn’t utter a word, seemingly deep in Le Tian’s words.
Seeing her like this, Le Tian seized the chance to say, "You already possess a strength no less than mine, even stronger."
"I came to kill you, also out of compulsion."
"Now that you’ve broken through, I pose no threat to you, spare my life!"
"I swear, from this day, I will never go against you!"
Princess Consort Le still remained silent, but Lin Xi, standing nearby, sensed the killing intent from her rising again.
As for Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu, standing beside Lin Xi, they listened somewhat baffled.
To them, killing was completely unimaginable.
Besides, even if this Yue Ying took the Sect Leader’s seat, why would she want to kill?
"Spare you?" After a while, Princess Consort Le suddenly asked.
Le Tian nodded with difficulty, "I pose no threat to you, plus, my attempt to kill you was under duress."
"So, for the past’s sake, spare me this once!"
"I swear, I’ll give you unimaginable compensation!"
However, at this moment, Princess Consort Le looked at Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, what do you think?"
Lin Xi chuckled, "It’s up to you!"
Princess Consort Le nodded, then looked at Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu, "You two, go to the room and wait for me. I’ll come over later to teach today’s lesson."
Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu exchanged a glance, not quite understanding why Princess Consort Le was sending them to wait in the room at this moment.
Could there be something coming up that they shouldn’t see?
Suddenly, a shiver ran through them, realizing, perhaps, killing?
