On the Lotus Platform, Lu Yuan, Bai Yao, and Ai Yue were interrogating the two captured Demon Sect disciples. Hua Ziqi was a spineless coward and confessed soon after being threatened by Lu Yuan.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk! It was our sect leader Yang Yunsui who orchestrated this plan against the Heavenly Sword Sect. He joined forces with your Heavenly Sword Sect traitor Li Qianyun and released the previous Heavenly Sword Sect elder Chen Gongming. They worked together from the inside and outside to deal with the Heavenly Sword Sect. The sect leader wanted to avenge his father’s death, while Chen Gongming wanted to regain control of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As for what agreement the sect leader and he reached, I don’t know.”
Bai Yao snorted coldly, "With so few people like you, you dare to cause trouble in my Heavenly Sword Sect!? Speak! What other tricks do you have up your sleeve!?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ziqi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yinglong, there is a Yinglong's corpse in the dungeon at the back of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Legend has it that it was killed here by the four great sages of ancient times: Su Yan of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Nanmen Yihen of the Snow Cold Blade Sect, Han Wuqi of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, and Master Lianhua of the Lotus Flower Temple. Our sect leader reached some kind of agreement with a woman named Su Li and obtained a secret method that can revive the corpse. As long as the Yinglong's corpse can come back to life, your Heavenly Sword Sect will be powerless to resist. It is said that the ancient Yinglong was at the level of a demon emperor. Even though it has been dead for so long, the spiritual power remaining in its body is extremely terrifying."
Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed drastically. A murderous glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes as he walked step by step toward Hua Ziqi.
"What...what are you going to do? I've already confessed, why are you still trying to kill me?! You have no morals!"
Lu Yuan snorted, "You've harmed so many of my Heavenly Sword Sect's junior sisters. If this were before, I might have had the time to slowly torture you, but we need to hurry and help. It's a bit troublesome to have a scourge like you with us!"
"Fuck your grandpa! You went back on your word!"
As Lu Yuan approached step by step, Hua Ziqi's face grew increasingly terrified, and he could no longer utter a sound. Lu Yuan was furious, "My uncle has been dead for many years, and I'm still being insulted today. I'm truly unfilial!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan stopped and turned to Ai Yue. "Junior Sister, isn't Shen Fengmian your enemy? He should have half-demon blood, which is why he has such a powerful regenerative ability. However, his regenerative ability comes at a price; long-term use will definitely shorten his lifespan. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, his lifespan is at most as short as that of a Golden Core cultivator. But if you were to crack open his head with a sword, he definitely wouldn't survive. So, I'm leaving Shen Fengmian to you. Hurry up! As for Hua Ziqi cursing my grandpa, I need to have some fun with him. The scene might be too bloody, so I need you two junior sisters to leave!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Yue beheaded Shen Fengmian with a single sword stroke. "Although I really wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces, I couldn't do that. It's too good for him."
Lu Yuan was taken aback, shook his head and sighed, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
Then he grabbed Hua Ziqi's hair and prepared to leave, saying, "You two junior sisters should go help first, I'll probably need some more time here..."
Ai Yue and Bai Yao exchanged a glance and, without further hesitation, headed straight for the dungeon in the back mountain after hearing about the demonic sect disciples' plan from Hua Ziqi.
As for Lu Yuan, after seeing his two junior sisters leave, he didn't bring Hua Ziqi into the room. Instead, he led him into the forest and said, "If I let you go, will you not betray me?"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Hua Ziqi's eyes. "Yes! Big brother! I promise I'll keep it a secret! But why are you letting me go?"
"It's like this, your cult leader is actually my illegitimate son! So now you should believe that I will let you go, right?" As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out a small knife from his pocket, then took out a large iron pot, poured water into it, then used magic to freeze the water, and then broke the ice into small ice blocks.
"I believe you! I believe you! Thank you, brother, for sparing my life!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan turned his head and smiled slightly, "How could I possibly spare your life? I was just trying to make you happy that you're about to die. Don't take it seriously. Originally, I just wanted to give you a quick death, but you didn't want that and had to provoke me. Who can you blame for having such a sharp tongue?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ziqi's expression froze. "Fuck your mother! You're a madman!"
Lu Yuan frowned. "It's one thing for you to insult my uncle, and my uncle wasn't good to me in the past, but you insulted my mother. This isn't over yet, kid. Do you even know what this ice is for?"
Seeing Lu Yuan sharpening his knife, Hua Ziqi's expression grew increasingly terrified. "Big...Big Brother...please give me a quick death. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so talkative."
Lu Yuan smiled broadly. "Hey! Don't be afraid, I'm very professional. I learned this skill from my best brother. His family has been doing this for three generations. Ever heard of Lingchi? A mortal like him can keep you alive for up to three thousand cuts just by his accuracy. Of course, my skill is a little lacking, but I'm a cultivator, and I have abundant spiritual power! I'll slowly prolong your life. As for the ice, it's used to slow down blood flow. Although I can do that with my spiritual energy... but ice has another advantage: frozen skin feels good to the touch, making it very steady when I cut!"
Hearing this, Hua Ziqi almost cried, "Please...please...don't..."
"Hey, you were so arrogant just now, why are you crying now? Be good! Don't cry, think about all the junior sisters of my Heavenly Sword Sect that you killed, does that make you feel a little better?"
Hua Ziqi dared not speak.
"That's right, stop arguing. I'm not a bloodthirsty person either. Our master said that good people are rewarded and evil people are punished. I always listen to my master. Now that Shen Fengmian is dead, the retribution that should have beenfallen him can only befall you. Sigh... My junior sister Ai Yue is really something, she's too good-natured. It's such a pity to kill her like that! Alright, enough chit-chat. We're pretty busy today, let's get to it!"
