"Okay, there are some things you'll need to know sooner or later anyway."
Li Xuanzu waved his hand and looked at Tang Licheng.
He wasn't in good shape at the moment.
Old Huang didn't change him into the prison uniform; he was going to die today anyway, so there was no need.
Tang Licheng was only wearing a thin undergarment.
Despite being middle-aged, he was remarkably robust, having spent years battling in safe havens during the apocalypse.
At this time, however, his face was sallow and emaciated, and large patches of scarlet blood covered his entire body.
His mouth was also blocked with a clump of red blood to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
"Cough cough cough, Li Xuanzu, just as I thought..."
The blood clot in Tang Licheng's mouth dissolved, and a lot of blood flowed into his oral cavity.
Both rows of teeth had disappeared, and the jagged white bits proved that they had been forcibly shattered by tremendous force.
"Don't try to play riddles with me. Do you think I'm going to ask you?"
Li Xuanzu stepped forward, grabbed Tang Licheng's head, and his powerful divine sense drilled directly into his brain.
The soul search begins.
Surprisingly, Tang Licheng was not affected in the slightest.
It cannot be said that he has a strong will; no one could withstand the pain in their soul.
unless...
The soul search failed.
You could tell from Li Xuanzu's furrowed brows.
His consciousness rushed straight to the brain as soon as it entered the other person's body.
However, no relevant information could be found, as if... Tang Licheng was just a corpse.
This is true regardless of how many spiritual consciousnesses enter.
"Hahaha, it's useless! That lord has already locked my memories; you won't find anything!"
"The Corpse Immortal Sect will eventually stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
Tang Licheng laughed wildly, his speech becoming somewhat slurred due to his lack of teeth.
Even if he didn't say it, Li Xuanzu could guess who did it.
Besides the Heavenly Dao of the zombie side personally taking action, who else could it be?
The Heavenly Dao of Blue Star has no reason to protect an organization member who brings trouble to the inhabitants of its planet.
Aside from the two Heavenly Daos currently engaged in a game of chess on Earth, Li Xuanzu couldn't think of anyone else whose divine sense couldn't penetrate his body.
Memory lock.
It's a kind of divine sense technique that prevents soul searching, and it's considered the most basic kind. Such techniques are available on the market in the Blazing Spirit Continent.
It's a very simple principle: use your divine sense to envelop the other person's soul, similar to the backup plan Li Xuanzu left for Fu Yu.
It can prevent soul searching by those weaker than oneself; even if the strength is similar, it is useless.
In this way, the memory lock would become a bomb specifically designed to attack the soul, directly destroying the soul of the protected person and preventing soul searching from the root.
Only the souls of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can be called divine souls; those of ordinary people can only be called souls.
"Ancestor, how are you? Have you encountered any problems?"
Seeing that Li Xuanzu looked unwell, Elder Huang quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"Tsk, we can only rely on people to catch him slowly. With someone protecting him, we can't search him."
In the current situation, the only way forward is for Huang Lao's men to rely on those fragmented clues to slowly uncover the remaining leaders of the Corpse Immortal Sect.
"Then what about Tang Licheng..."
"Just kill him. You won't get anything out of him anyway. He'll die before you hear what he says."
Li Xuanzu made his move directly, sucking all the blood out of Tang Licheng's body.
He hadn't forgotten about his previous questioning of those level-three zombies, but he couldn't get any information out of them at all.
Even some zombies, on their deathbeds, say things that are completely false.
The other party's Heavenly Dao led him astray from the very beginning.
"Let's catch them slowly. Let's catch a few more third-tier members of the Corpse Immortal Cult first, although I don't know what use they are."
Li Xuanzu left after saying those words.
Anyone who knows any important information will not be caught.
etc?
Li Xuanzu's foot, which had just stepped out of the interrogation room, remained suspended in mid-air, not touching the ground for a long time.
So... what's the deal with that girl from yesterday?
Li Xuanzu turned around abruptly, and whether it was a misperception or not, Tang Licheng's fallen corpse was facing him, seemingly...smiling?
"This is so annoying! It's all riddles! Can't riddle solvers just die?!"
Li Xuanzu still had some manners; he wouldn't take his anger out on Tang Licheng's corpse.
But he still cursed out loud.
If you put yourself in their shoes, it would be strange if you weren't anxious.
"That's settled then. The Corpse Immortal Sect probably won't make any big moves anytime soon. They're just waiting for the Chosen One to pull off something big for us."
"Old Huang, you need to strengthen the defenses on your side. Also, let me know about the zombie situation on Blue Star. If there are any level 5 zombies, notify me immediately. I want to see what kind of trouble they can cause."
Li Xuanzu calmed his anger and said to Elder Huang.
"Don't worry about that. We will definitely take precautions and arrest people. But right now, we should be thinking about which divine kingdom you plan to go to next."
Old Huang nodded in understanding and then brought up what Li Xuanzu had mentioned before.
"Hmm, well..."
Li Xuanzu was now in a bit of a predicament.
The original plan was to go to the Nordic region, but now there are many more divine kingdoms, and Li Xuanzu really has a hard time deciding which one to suppress first.
"Japan, Japan. It just so happens that your China has a deep-seated grudge against them, and it's also close by."
Li Xuanzu didn't think for long; there were only a few options anyway, so he just picked the one that was closest.
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to make too many enemies, or we'll become the target of everyone's criticism when the time comes."
"It depends on whether they're smart enough. If they don't come looking for trouble and just obediently take a beating, nothing will happen."
"If they insist on sticking their necks out, then don't blame me."
Li Xuanzu remained indifferent.
It was as if fighting against the gods was a trivial matter to him.
"Hehe, then I'd better be prepared. Japan is full of fanatics. It's not realistic for you to fight violence with violence."
Old Huang gave a wry smile, seemingly having anticipated Li Xuanzu's answer.
"Your understanding of violence for violence is different from mine."
"Using violence to stop violence is essentially using violence to stop violence, and completely eliminating the violence on their side is also a form of using violence to stop violence."
"Forget it, I won't discuss this with you. I'm going to Japan soon. Just wait for news. You can also let them know in advance to save me some trouble."
"Sigh, alright, let's give them a heads-up beforehand, so they don't offend you later."
After the conversation ended, Li Xuanzu returned home.
"Yuanqing, what do you think of Xuanzu as a person?"
After Li Xuanzu left for a while, Elder Huang looked at the silent Huang Yuanqing and said.
"You can't tease me about this."
"No joking, go ahead and tell me."
Huang Lao was intrigued by Huang Yuanqing's words.
"I think he is exactly like the immortal in martial arts novels, the kind of... supreme immortal who sees all things as ants, who does not show emotions, has super strength, and is carefree."
“At first I thought he was just pretending, but I found that he really didn’t care about me. As long as I didn’t make him angry, nothing would happen. He was very casual in his behavior, but he followed his own moral bottom line.”
“I envy him. He is not bound by anything and can be his true self.”
Huang Yuanqing's words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Hehe, just be yourself, hahaha."
Although Li Xuanzu had gone far away, he could still hear it.
I don't know what he's laughing at...
