The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Chapter 789 Lin Xue Dies in the Stone Chamber and Zhao Hu Interrogates the Mysterious Man

Lin Xue never dreamed that her first infiltration mission to gather intelligence would lead her to a formidable foe at the Lesser Completion stage of the Earth Realm! Back then, even when surrounded and facing four or five top-tier experts at the Great Perfection stage of the Profound Realm, she remained unscathed and managed to repel them all, injuring two and killing one (as female martial artists of the Lin family, they all possessed the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, but forcibly crossing an entire major realm to fight was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, resulting in instant death. - Author's note). However, at this moment, facing Zhao Yong, a Lesser Completion stage Earth Realm expert whose strength far surpassed her own, Lin Xue ultimately could not withstand his fierce attacks. Completely powerless to retaliate, she was pierced through the heart by his sword in the blink of an eye, dying instantly. The incredibly sharp sword was pulled from her neck, and scalding crimson blood gushed out like a fountain. Her face was filled with disbelief and resentment, her eyes wide open as if she wanted to take in all the injustices of the world. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to shout for help or leave her last words, but she was too weak to speak and could only watch helplessly as the flame of her life slowly died out... In the end, this brave young woman, full of ambition and courage, who resolutely joined the army and her sister's troops, and who was determined to make great achievements, fell tragically on the front line of reconnaissance, ending her short but brilliant life!

This brave young female warrior, who joined her sister's army with the intention of making a name for herself, tragically sacrificed herself during a reconnaissance mission! Of course, the power inherited from the Lin family's young female warriors meant that there were still various variables in her future, which will be discussed later.

The air in the stone chamber was even heavier because of Lin Xue's death. The stench of blood mixed with the acrid smell of burning torches, making one want to vomit. Zhao Hu's cold gaze shifted from Lin Xue's gradually cooling corpse to the mysterious man who was still being held down by two soldiers.

The man remained unusually calm throughout, even during Lin Xue's fierce battle and subsequent death. He only occasionally furrowed his brow and showed little sign of panic. This extraordinary composure, however, aroused Zhao Hu's suspicions.

"Bring him here." Zhao Hu's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

Two soldiers immediately brought the man before Zhao Hu. The man was of medium build and had an ordinary face, the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd, but his eyes were unusually deep. At this moment, he calmly met Zhao Hu's gaze, as if he were looking at a stranger.

"What's your name? What's your identity? Why were you talking to that female spy?" Zhao Hu went straight to the point, his sharp gaze sweeping across the man's face like a knife, trying to find a flaw.

The man smiled faintly, his tone inappropriately relaxed: "General, why ask such a question when you already know the answer? That young lady and I were merely customers who met by chance at the restaurant. We chatted a bit more because of her outstanding dancing skills. Is it a crime to even exchange a few words with a beautiful woman under your rule?"

"Sharp-tongued!" the lean man next to Zhao Hu shouted angrily, taking a step forward to attack.

"Wait." Zhao Hu interrupted again, staring intently into the man's eyes, and said, word by word, "That female spy is a peak Xuan Realm expert. She'll sense anything amiss if an ordinary person gets within three feet of her. If you're just an ordinary guest, why would she initiate conversation with you, even revealing her identity to you without realizing it? Or rather…"
