Nanding nodded dispassionately, "Don’t worry, I know where they are. Follow me."
With that, he turned and began to lead the way.
As Hai Qin started to follow, Wen Jue grabbed his arm.
In a murmur audible only to them, he warned, "Be careful!"
Hai Qin was momentarily puzzled, but he quickly understood and nodded. He casually followed behind Nanding and Xiding. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
No one talked along the way.
They soon arrived at the tribe of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan.
Nanding led them into an empty cave, his tone cold. "Wait here. I will inform the chief."
Hai Qin felt something was off. He grabbed Nanding’s wrist. "Hold up! I’m here to see my sister, not your chief!"
As soon as Xiding heard that, he stepped forward from behind Nanding, shouting, "What audacity! You dare to act so arrogantly in our Sky Swallowing Python Clan. Do you want to taste the same fate as that wretched woman, taste our Fire Prison?"
Hai Qin’s eyes nearly popped out of his head at those words. His eyes were bloodshot, he clutched Xiding’s throat and roared, "What did you say?! What woman? What Fire Prison?"
Xiding’s eyes rolled back as his face turned red and his breath became labored.
He weakly tried to fight off Hai Qin’s muscular arm and managed to say, "You, let, let go, I..."
Nanding, witnessing this, reacted instantly!
He yelled, "Let my brother go! You want to know where the woman is? I can tell you! Just let go of my brother!"
Wen Jue had no desire to hear any excuses.
With a wave of his hand, a golden rope suddenly bound Nanding tightly. His eyes narrowed, "Take us there now, or I’ll kill you!"
Nanding was terrified at the sight!
Even if he were a fool, he would realize by now that they had brought two disasters back to the tribe!
These were solidified energy Divine Brave Warriors, only the tribe chief could possibly stand against them!
He trembled as he led the two men.
He originally assumed these two were easy targets, and by bringing them back to the tribe, he might be able to use them as leverage against the betrayer.
In order to gain favor with the chief, he and his brother had stealthily avoided any tribe members and led them here.
But, his clever scheme had backfired. These two were solidified energy Divine Brave Warriors and now helpless with no one aware of their captivity or able to save them.
Nanding’s face was a picture of despair.
He tried to negotiate with Wen Jue and Hai Qin, "Gentlemen, I merely came across the fact that the woman was being detained. If I escort you there, could you please spare me and my brother?"
Xiding had fallen unconscious due to lack of oxygen. Hai Qin had him tied to an ankle with a water rope and was dragging him along.
Hai Qin was seething with rage. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "What is this Fire Prison that you mentioned? When did you capture my sister?"
Now that his life was in their hands, Nanding dared not withhold any information!
"We captured her at the beginning of the rainy season. The Fire Prison was a suggestion from our priest, it involves roasting people over a fire...ah!"
Hai Qin couldn’t stand hearing another word. He delivered a hard kick to Nanding’s right leg and roared, "How dare you! How dare you!"
Hai Qin’s voice was trembling. He couldn’t even bear to imagine it!
