Meanwhile Gu Chen did not stop there, as his frustration had taken over as he brutally stomped his heavy boot onto her wrist, snapping her fragile bones.
"Hahaha..." Under the pain, the woman finally snapped, "You… You are too late..."
"What?" Gu Chen instantly grabbed her by the collar, "Speak."
"Gone!" The woman smiled through blood. She had no idea what happened to all the treasure in the vault, but with the Phantom Sirens all dead, she only cared about rubbing salt where it hurts.
"Who took it?" Gu Chen asked, only to meet with silence.
Gu Chen slapped her.
"Answer! damnit!"
But the woman merely laughed.
"You righteous cultivators..." She grinned through her bloody teeth, "You are always one step behind..."
Gu Chen's patience snapped, as his spiritual Qi exploded around him.
"I will ask one last time."
"Who took the tribute?"
The woman slowly spat blood onto his boots, "Your mother!"
Gu Chen's face became expressionless, "Very well."
