"These tubes are inserted directly into the brain, isolating the psychic core from the body. It's a simple principle, but there's no way to restrict a psychic's abilities without causing their death... at the moment."
Old Huang seemed afraid that Li Xuanzu would misunderstand something, so he began to explain.
"Okay, continue. I'm not interested in any of this unless you can come up with some kind of psionic suppressor."
Li Xuanzu was not very interested in this primitive method.
The Blazing Spirit Continent also has a similar method to control powerful cultivators by blocking key nodes in the flow of spiritual energy, namely the meridians.
But the Blazing Spirit Continent has more than just this method; there are many other convenient and quick methods, such as the Spirit Suppression Array and the Spirit Binding Lock.
"Hehe, it'll happen sooner or later. Let's keep going in."
Old Huang simply smiled and strode into the prison.
The further in you go, the thicker the tubes on the heads of those psionic prisoners become, since their psionic cores have also grown much larger.
Moreover, the number of cells has visibly decreased, and all cells are now used for solitary confinement.
Old Huang stopped in front of an interrogation room.
Pushing open the door, a young man with several needle marks on his ears, nose, and lips sat quietly there.
He's probably a delinquent.
Judging from the thickness of the tube on his head, he is probably a third-tier psionicist.
"Hey old man, you've brought people? Don't bother, you won't get a single word out of me."
Even though the young man's face was deathly pale, he still managed an arrogant smile.
"Hmph, you really think I can't find someone to deal with you? My ancestor, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Old Huang snorted and made way for Li Xuanzu.
"Him? I'd like to..."
Just as the young man was about to speak again, Li Xuanzu grabbed the tube above his head.
"Ugh! You bastard, you think I'll give in like this? Don't underestimate me!"
The tube was churning in my brain; that feeling... must have been awful.
Li Xuanzu looked at the tube; the bottom wasn't completely sealed, but rather contained a high-density net.
The spiritual core is connected to nerves throughout the brain; if it were forcibly pulled, the young man would surely die.
Fortunately, Li Xuanzu only moved the pipe slightly and stopped after a short while.
Before the young man could even react, a large hand was placed on his face.
Like the others who had their souls searched, the young man didn't last long before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
The brain, now unprotected by the cerebral cortex and skull, rolled to the ground with a "gurgling" sound, which looked rather eerie.
"How's it going? Have you found any useful information?"
Old Huang eagerly stepped forward, completely ignoring the young man's corpse.
"It's alright. The general situation is that these people have formed a sect called the 'Corpse Immortal Sect,' led by two fourth-tier psionicists who are currently human. According to them, they will turn into zombies when they reach the fifth tier."
"Among them are three fourth-tier zombies, two of which are hidden in Kyoto, and the whereabouts of one are unknown. As for the third-tier zombies in the sect, there are many more, nearly a hundred, most of which are humans who transformed on their own."
"There are also second-tier zombies, but not many. The most worrying are ordinary people and first-tier psionicists. According to this kid's memories, the number of people affected is close to 300,000, which is the number before he went to prison."
"Moreover, this number is increasing at a rapid pace, so we need to resolve this quickly."
Li Xuanzu pondered for a moment, then spoke again.
“Bring the rest of the Corpse Immortal Cult members here too, and kill them all by searching their souls.”
To prevent this person from knowing things that differed from others, they simply searched their soul.
Old Huang was eager for more of these people to die, so he immediately ordered his men to bring over the rest of the Corpse Immortal Cult members.
It must be said that the Corpse Immortal Cult has done a very good job in its propaganda.
Among the members of this Corpse Immortal Cult, there were children as young as eight, elderly people in their sixties, and even a large number of psychics. They even formed a long queue outside the interrogation room.
First, they examined the psionicists, starting with the first tier, then the second and third tiers.
Naturally, the higher the level of the psychic, the more information they know, and the more detailed it is.
As for the ordinary people, Li Xuanzu interrogated several of them, but obtained very little information, none of which was of any use.
"Phew, that's enough for today. We won't find anything by searching the soul again, so there's no need for that."
As Li Xuanzu spoke, he removed his hand from the head of a middle-aged man.
The body, having lost its support, quickly collapsed, and its entire body visibly shriveled up at an alarming rate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Corpse Immortal Cult members who were still queuing outside became somewhat restless.
"Quiet! What's all the noise about?"
Old Huang roared, and much of the noise subsided, though some people were still whispering among themselves.
The discussion was mostly about how they were thankful they weren't going to die.
"You don't need these people anymore, right?"
Li Xuanzu pointed to the people outside.
"No need, just suck it all out. Anyway, there's no such thing as a balanced diet here, so it's unlikely to allow you to have sustainable development."
Old Huang waved his hand and said.
Before those people could react, one after another they fell to the ground.
They suffered from prolonged malnutrition, resulting in poor blood quality.
"Why? We know nothing, and you're going to kill us all because of this!"
A very young girl squatted beside several desiccated corpses, glaring angrily at Li Xuanzu.
"We pose no threat to you, so why do you have to pick on ordinary people like us?"
The girl's face was an unhealthy pale white, but her body was not as thin as the people around her, but it was not as healthy as the average person either.
She's not bad looking; if she eats properly and gets the right nutrition, she'd be a beauty.
However, the expression on her face was one of tears welling up in her eyes, seemingly about to fall but not quite.
"Yeah, you all know you're useless, so what's the point of you still living? Do you want to stay here and waste food?"
Li Xuanzu stopped what he was doing and ceased drawing blood.
Although the girl's words were foolish, they did catch Li Xuanzu's attention.
To be precise, I almost laughed out of anger.
The girl couldn't speak, but she kept staring intently at Li Xuanzu, wishing she could kill him with her eyes.
