On a barren mountain south of Jiangnan City.
Shen Qi brought Yang Ji and the strange old man down, waved his hand, and Yang Ji fell unconscious, and then came to the strange old man.
"What's your name, and why are you helping Yang Ji deal with me?"
The strange old man snorted coldly, still looking stubborn.
Shen Qi was not in a hurry. He used the Japanese knife in his hand to pierce the strange old man's right arm, and then asked the same question again.
The strange old man started sweating on his head because of the pain, but he still refused to give in, so Shen Qi pierced his left arm as well.
After two consecutive slashes, the strange old man's face was bloodless, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Qi was still full of hatred, and it was clear that he would not cooperate.
Shen Qi chuckled and waved his right hand. A stream of spiritual energy fell on the strange old man, but it did not cause any harm to him. Instead, it accelerated the healing of his wounds.
"Death isn't scary, and neither is enduring some pain before death. What's truly scary is wanting to die but being unable to, and having to endure endless pain, like right now."
The strange old man felt that the wounds on his arms were recovering rapidly. He estimated that they would be 70% to 80% recovered in half an hour at most. At that time, Shen Qi could still continue to attack without worrying that he would be tortured to death.
After seeing Shen Qi's methods, the strange old man was finally shaken.
He was indeed not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of enduring some torture before his death. After all, he had lived for so many years and had done a lot of such things, so he had already prepared himself mentally.
But he didn't expect that Shen Qi actually had the means to save his life, which meant that Shen Qi could almost indefinitely prolong the pain and torture he would endure before his death.
There is no end in sight to this pain and torture. When it will end depends entirely on Shen Qi's mood.
He was prepared to endure limited pain, but he absolutely did not want to endure endless pain. The difference between the two was very obvious.
However, Shen Qi did not give the strange old man too many opportunities to beg for mercy. He took out another Hundred Poison Pill and gave it to him to swallow. Under the influence of spiritual energy, the effect of the Hundred Poison Pill began to accelerate. In just over ten minutes, the strange old man felt the painful torture brought by the Hundred Poison Pill in the last two days.
During this process, Shen Qi also used his spiritual energy to seal the old man's mouth and nose, making him unable to make any sound or even breathe, and passively endure the triple pain.
Under the influence of this triple pain, the strange old man showed an expression of collapse in less than three minutes, and begged Shen Qi for mercy with his eyes, but Shen Qi still waited for another minute before releasing his control over the strange old man, allowing the other party to breathe deeply.
"I'll tell you everything! Just kill me!"
The strange old man was named Cha Can, a native of Tai Yao Country. He had been exposed to the art of raising ghosts since he was a teenager. He practiced very diligently and achieved some success in his twenties. He made a name for himself in Tai Yao Country. Later, after more than ten years of contemplation, he finally improved the art of raising ghosts, which turned into the strange spell he performed today. He can be regarded as a master in this field.
After he turned forty, Cha Can accepted three disciples in Tai Yao Country, and passed on the strange magic he had comprehended. Now these three disciples have also achieved something, and are quite famous in Tai Yao Country, and some even have the potential to surpass their master.
Yang Ji had heard of Cha Can's reputation a long time ago. He found him a month ago and offered him 100 million US dollars for help. Cha Can couldn't resist the temptation of money, so he agreed and came to Xia Country.
After listening to this, Shen Qi asked, "Where are your three disciples? Do they know you're here?"
Cha Can shook his head. "I don't know. After I turned fifty, I stopped caring about other things. All my thoughts were focused on cultivation. I also interacted less with my disciples. If Yang Ji hadn't found me, I wouldn't have come out."
Shen Qi added, "Tell me the identities of your three disciples, and I'll give you a quick death."
Now that he knew that Cha Can had three apprentices, Shen Qi would of course be on guard. If the three of them had no intention of avenging Cha Can, then so be it, but if they did, Shen Qi wouldn't mind letting them reunite as master and apprentice.
Cha Can did not dare to delay and sold his three apprentices directly.
After getting the information, Shen Qi kept his promise and gave Cha Can a quick death. Then he woke up Yang Ji and began to interrogate him.
Yang Ji became much more honest, or rather, he had completely given up. He did not hide anything from Shen Qi's questions and told them all.
From the time he went to the Osmond family for help after the fall of the Yang family, to the time he contacted the helpers from the Japanese island country, the Taiyao country and the caste country to take action against Chen Changge, to the time they lay low for a month and planned today's conspiracy, he told everything.
In order to let Shen Qi give him a quick death, he also took the initiative to provide additional information, such as the four ninjas from the Japanese island country were born in the Iga family, and they were also a powerful fighting force cultivated by the power of the Iga family. If the Iga family knew that these four ninjas were killed by Shen Qi, the Iga family would never let it go.
The man from the Caste Country is named Nayi. He has no reputation and is the result of Yang Ji's search for talented people in the Caste Country. He has exceptional physical fitness, and his speed and strength have exceeded the limits of ordinary people, but he has not received professional training, so he has extraordinary strength but cannot exert corresponding combat power.
Yang Ji discovered Nayi's ability and asked Nayi to work for him for 50 million US dollars. He also taught Nayi some fighting skills, which enabled Nayi to defeat Fox today.
However, Nayi doesn't seem to have any relatives or friends, so there is no need to worry too much.
Seeing that Yang Ji was so obedient, Shen Qi felt a little reluctant to kill him, so he changed his mind and took out a Hundred Poisons Pill and asked Yang Ji to take it.
Yang Ji had originally planned to die here, but he didn't expect Shen Qi to have other plans, and he suddenly felt the hope of living.
Shen Qi said, "From now on, you have twenty-eight days. I want you to return to the Osmond family and draw the layout of the Osmond family manor. If you can provide me with more information, I may consider sparing your life."
Since he would have to fall out with the Osmond family sooner or later, Shen Qi didn't mind collecting some interest before the fallout, and using Yang Ji to collect some intelligence.
Even if Yang Ji was exposed, it didn't matter. It would not cause any loss to Shen Qi. Moreover, Shen Qi was sure that Osmond would never take any extreme action because of Yang Ji's rebellion, because the Osmond family had originally colluded with Yang Ji, and the things they did were also shameful.
No one wants to completely break up until the last moment.
Yang Ji did not dare to be negligent and quickly agreed, promising to satisfy Shen Qi. Only then did Shen Qi let Yang Ji leave.
