Chapter 1870 Interrogation
Xihuang Palace, deep in the secret hall.
Hall Master Yi Ming and Gu Xiuyun stood side by side, with two people lying in front of them, one was Ku He under Jiujian, and the other was a mysterious figure hiding outside the secret realm.
Both of them were in the third level of the Acting Realm. Although they were unconscious, their aura was still extremely strong.
"Junior brother, you really surprised me," Hall Master Yi Ming glanced at his side, "With Dangyang's strength, ordinary secret arts can't suppress him at all. Even the Red Dust Secret Art can hardly make him completely unconscious. How did you do it?"
"It's just luck," Gu Xiuyun smiled, "To be honest with you, I actually got some opportunities in the Taiyuan Ancient Realm."
"Oh?"
Hall Master Yi Ming raised his eyebrows.
With Gu Xiuyun's strength, it's rare for him to call it an opportunity.
"I borrowed the Seven Curves of the Emperor Sanyuan." Gu Xiuyun explained leisurely.
"Seven-bend exquisite heart?"
Palace Master Yi Ming's face suddenly showed surprise, "No wonder your Taoism realm has advanced by leaps and bounds. Emperor Sanyuan is a notorious stingy person. You can actually borrow treasures from him. You are really capable!"
"It is also with the help of Master Kong Cheng, Black Bear, and Fu Chen. Otherwise, he would not be so easy to talk to," Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly, and then looked in front of him, "Brother, Kuhe has been captured by me, but he still has a second real body hiding outside, so your previous plan may not work."
" No," said the Yiming Palace Master with a smile, "Do you think fate and karma are so easy to cut off? The means of the source beast forces can be hidden from us, but not from the saints. The fact that Kuhe could hide in the Xihuang Palace for so many years shows that his second true body has never left the range of the heavenly domain, otherwise it would have been discovered by the saints long ago. "
"If I guess correctly, his second true body is hidden in Chao An's Qiankun Realm, so Chao An couldn't wait to rush to the secret realm to explore, but was caught by you. "
The Yiming Palace Master pointed to another figure.
Chao An, the elder of the Xihuang Palace branch hall, is also a third-level realm cultivator.
It can be seen that the penetration of the source beast forces into the Xihuang Palace is already very alarming. There are two of them discovered this time alone, and there are still many hidden in the dark.
"Brother, if you are sure, that's the best." Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.
Whether it is Kuhe or Chao An, they are elders who have entered the third realm with the help of the ancient saint way. Their status in the sect is not high. Compared with them, Elder Jiujian is the biggest threat. The third realm and the fourth realm are completely a qualitative leap.
One Jiujian is more dangerous than ten Kuhe.
"Junior brother, you handled the Kunyan Stone matter well," said the master of Yiming Palace, "but you still have to be careful. I have blocked all the communication channels of Kuhe and Chao An. In addition, I have to warn Dangyang, Chengkong, and Qingshuang not to let them leak the news, especially Dangyang... If possible, let him not show up for the time being."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I have already passed the order on this matter."
Gu Xiuyun nodded in response.
They still trust these three people.
Although Dangyang is an envoy under Jiujian, he has been practicing for a short time and is a disciple of the main hall. It is very unlikely that he will defect to the source beast force.
As for Chengkong and Qingshuang, it is even more impossible.
Before they became famous, the two had been practicing in the secret place of Xihuang Palace. They had no chance to contact the high-level of the source beast forces. Even if they really contacted, with their Tao hearts, it was unlikely that they would surrender to the source beasts. After all, those who could become the supreme of the third level were extremely tough and would never easily betray their sect.
Just like Gu Xiuyun.
With his Tao heart, it would be difficult for him to betray even if there was a huge benefit. Such people have their own set of principles in their actions. How could they change just by saying so?
On the contrary, people like Kuhe and Chao An have practiced for too long, and their Tao realm has stagnated for many years. Gradually, even their Tao hearts have been worn out, and finally they have completely lost their edge and become like ordinary people, slick, selfish, and extreme. For a little benefit, they may betray the cultivation world.
As they spoke.
Kuhe and Chao An's bodies trembled.
A ghost face soul picture was moving quickly in the bodies of the two people, constantly tearing their souls and wills, and making beast-like roars.
"The Soul-burning and Devouring Mantra of the Netherworld Realm is indeed the most powerful means of interrogation in the cultivation world," seeing this scene, Hall Master Yi Ming sighed, "It's a pity that the Netherworld Supreme Saint has done too many evil things, and now he doesn't even dare to return to the Chaotic Source Void, otherwise the Netherworld Realm would not have been torn apart by the source beasts."
"Did too many evil things?"
Gu Xiuyun was a little curious, "That's an Infinite Supreme Saint, what evil things did he do that even the Chaotic Source Void didn't dare to return?"
"So what about the Infinite Supreme Saint," Hall Master Yi Ming laughed, "He was very powerful back then, and he hunted down Qin..."
Speaking of this, Hall Master Yi Ming's voice suddenly stagnated, as if someone had locked his throat. After a full moment, he recovered his breath, "Forget it, why tell you this, the Soul-burning and Devouring Mantra has begun to take effect, let's see what secrets Kuhe and Chao An have hidden."
Gu Xiuyun blinked.
This hall master is still the same, he always says half of his words, but this time it's a little strange. Looking at his expression, it doesn't seem like he is deliberately hiding something, but it seems that he was cut off by someone and was not allowed to continue.
In front, Kuhe and Chao An have woken up.
The two have dull eyes and look confused, as if they have lost most of their minds, but the aura around them is still strong.
"Kuhe, who gave you the Kunyan Stone?" Hall Master Yi Ming said coldly.
"Yes... Master Jiujian."
Kuhe responded blankly.
"It's him," said the cold light in the eyes of the Yiming Palace Master, "Besides you and Jiujian, who else is colluding with the source beast forces? Tell us everything."
"Chao An from Danjiang Palace is also a spy of the source beast forces." Kuhe said with a dull face.
"That's it?"
Gu Xiuyun frowned.
They have already caught Chao An. What's the difference between telling or not telling? Kuhe is a third-level elder after all. How can he only have this much information?
"It's normal."
The Yiming Palace Master said helplessly, "The source beast forces are very careful in doing things. The spies they sent are all single-line contacts. Unless it is necessary, they don't know the identities of other people. If I'm not mistaken, Chao An should not have known Kuhe's identity before. It was only after Kuhe was exposed that he took the initiative to find him."
"Then we can't ask anything, right?" Gu Xiuyun frowned.
"Not necessarily," Hall Master Yi Ming continued, "The Source Beast forces often have some important plans. Whenever this happens, they will mobilize various spies to investigate the movements of the cultivation world. For example, when they surrounded and killed Emperor Jingxuan, they must have recruited a lot of people. As a law enforcement envoy, Kuhe's status is much higher than that of ordinary spies. He should have some clues."
"Emperor Jingxuan..."
Gu Xiuyun fell silent.
It was that time that the Xihuang Heavenly Domain encountered the disaster of the Source Beast.
It was also that time that all his relatives died at the hands of the descendants of Hunming. His mother, eldest sister, second sister, and Gu Xinning survived, but Yan Suqing could never reincarnate again.
"Junior brother, don't be too sad."
Palace Master Yiming saw Gu Xiuyun's expression and sighed, "I also know something about the changes in Luoshen Realm. You tried your best at that time, but there are unexpected events. Who would have thought that the descendants of Hunming would actually risk breaking through to the Qiankun Realm and go to Luoshen Realm for revenge. Your Taoist partner... still has hope of resurrection."
"I understand."
Gu Xiuyun nodded.
In this era, there is no saint who has achieved the Tao with the middle-level Taoism, but there is no now, which does not mean there will be no in the future. As long as he keeps living, he will succeed one day.
Of course, Gu Xiuyun will not put all his hopes on others.
If no one can take that step, after he completes the practice of the destiny system, he will try to comprehend the middle-level Taoism himself, so Gu Xiuyun has not spent too much energy on killing.
He is ready to abandon the killing body.
...
In the secret hall, the roar sounded again.
Palace Master Yi Ming started a new round of interrogation. The Soul-Burning Mind-Devouring Curse could not completely control Ku He and Chao An. With their minds, they would recover soon.
Once they woke up, what they said might not be true.
So they had to use the secret technique again and again.
But at the same time, every time the Soul-Burning Mind-Devouring Curse was used, Ku He and Chao An's Dao Heart would be severely damaged, until finally, their wills completely collapsed and they became walking corpses.
