Chapter 2858: You Are Wong Fu Siang?

Chapter 2858: Chapter 2858: You Are Wong Fu Siang?

This mercy was not born out of a soft heart or a willingness to forgive these monsters. They simply needed to wring crucial intelligence out of their mouths first.

These individuals had committed unforgivable atrocities. They had trafficked innocent civilians, slaughtered them without a second thought, and even consumed human flesh and blood to fuel their dark cultivation. They viewed human lives as nothing more than disposable livestock for their personal gain.

Monsters like them could never be allowed to draw breath in this world.

Once every scrap of useful information was extracted from their minds, their lives would be ended without hesitation. None would be spared. After all, allowing such evil to persist would only result in more innocent blood spilling in the future.

"Master, master! Can Xiaohua eat all those corpses now?!" Xiaohua asked, her voice bright, sweet, and bursting with innocent excitement.

A heavy silence instantly fell over the room.

Everyone paused, turning their heads to look at Xiaohua with incredibly complex expressions.

This little girl had posed that question so cheerfully, looking for all the world like a sweet child asking if she could have an extra scoop of ice cream after dinner. Yet, the "snack" she was eagerly requesting was a giant pile of bloody human corpses!

How could anyone ask such a gruesome, spine-chilling question in such a bubbly tone?!

For a moment, everyone was left completely rendered speechless.

They had almost forgotten that despite her adorable appearance, Xiaohua was not a human child at all, but a terrifying ancient tree monster. Her sweet, doll-like face had subconsciously tricked them into treating her like a normal young girl.

However, the moment they recalled how she had just effortlessly swallowed a full-grown evil cultivator whole, combined with the subtle wooden vines sprouting from her arms, they were brutally reminded of her true identity.

She was a human-devouring tree monster. And to make matters worse, she was not the only one.

Xiaoliu was standing quietly right beside her, looking equally calm and expectant about the prospect of a feast.

Yu Qi glanced down at the two little creatures, offering a small, casual nod.

"Mhm... You two may go ahead." Yu Qi permitted smoothly.

"Yay! Come on, Xiaoliu! Let me show you where the best parts are! We are gonna fill our bellies!" Xiaohua cheered happily.

She immediately grabbed Xiaoliu’s hand and eagerly dragged him toward the pile of bodies, looking like a child visiting a candy store.

Xiaoliu followed right behind her without the slightest complaint.

The members of the Dian Family instantly turned their heads away in unison, utterly refusing to witness the gruesome feast about to unfold. They simply did not possess the stomach for it.

After all, those two little tree spirits possessed facial features that looked remarkably like younger versions of Yu Qi and Long Hui. Seeing a young girl with Yu Qi’s face happily munching on corpses was traumatic enough to imagine. Watching Xiaoliu do the same with Long Hui’s face was a mental image none of them wanted to carry for the rest of their lives. They much preferred to keep their eyes elsewhere.

"Well then, let’s move inside that side room to conduct our business." Yu Qi suggested, pointing toward a spacious, quiet chamber nearby.

Everyone nodded in enthusiastic agreement.

No one had any desire to linger in the main hall while Xiaohua and Xiaoliu enjoyed their feast. Besides, they had critical matters that required immediate attention.

They quickly began gathering the fifteen surviving evil cultivators, including the dark-faced man and dragged them into the adjoining room one by one.

Upon tallying the survivors, they confirmed that out of the fifty-plus dark cultivators who had ambushed them, only fifteen remained breathing.

The rest had been permanently eliminated during the chaotic fight.

Once everyone was secured inside the room, Yu Qi finally turned her focus toward the primary objective that had brought her here in the first place.

She recalled the contact person Master Liang had divulged under the truth elixir.

She had not brought her team to this island merely to bust a human trafficking ring. She was here to track down the critical mastermind linked directly to Master Liang. Now that they had captured the upper leadership of this facility, she could finally extract the answers she sought.

Yu Qi scanned the quiet, trembling group of surviving evil cultivators.

"Do any of you know who Wong Fu Siang is?" Yu Qi asked in a clear, cold voice.

The second that specific name echoed through the room, a remarkably telling reaction occurred. Almost on pure instinct, every single surviving cultivator turned their heads in unison to stare directly at the dark-faced man kneeling on the floor.

Their silent reaction was so overwhelmingly obvious that Yu Qi caught on instantly. She raised a subtle eyebrow and shifted her cool gaze back onto the dark-faced man currently bound beside Long Hui.

"So... he is Wong Fu Siang?" Yu Qi asked.

"Y-Yes... that’s him! He is Wong Fu Siang!" One of the surviving evil cultivators blurted out eagerly, nodding his head repeatedly in hopes of earning mercy.

"Oh..." Yu Qi’s lips curled into a bright, dangerous smirk. "Look at that. We found our target right off the bat."

The dark-faced man, or rather, Wong Fu Siang, felt his heart sink into an endless abyss upon hearing her words.

They had been hunting specifically for him all along.

He had originally operated under the assumption that Yu Qi and her allies had raided his stronghold simply because he had purchased the two Dian Family girls. He had assumed they were either high-ranking family members or righteous do-gooders who had stumbled onto his trafficking ring on the island.
