Chapter 99
After the residual soul and magic weapon were taken out from the dragon master's body, the dragon master looked much better than before.
This pearl-like magic weapon is temporarily kept by Huan Mang. The most important thing now is to find a way to remove the poison from the dragon's body.
Huanmang brought the Soul Jade Bottle to show them.
The Soul Jade Bottle is a magic bottle that can carry souls. The bottle body is made of spiritual jade. After putting the soul inside, it is sealed with a jade soul plug to prevent the soul from dispersing.
Huanmang pulled out the residual soul hiding at the bottom of the bottle.
The two residual souls merged into one, which was more than twice as big as the one Jitang took out from the belly of the cold demon fish. The residual soul kept struggling to escape in Huanmang's hands, like a slippery loach.
Huan Mang shook his hands vigorously, and the remaining soul turned into a wisp of smoke. "Who will ask her?"
"I."
"I'll do it!"
Su Jinzhou and Ji Tang said in unison.
Jitang: "Let me do it."
Su Jinzhou's eyes darkened.
In order to prevent herself from sliding down his legs, Jitang kept holding onto the front of his shirt. She had only been holding it lightly before, but now she subconsciously held on tightly.
Her eagerness to interrogate Qiu Runfang made him think more.
Ji Tang also felt that he had overreacted and tried to make amends: "I fought her in the inheritance place of Senior Sturgeon Shark King Beast. I know her better than you do."
Huan Mang felt that it was right and extended his hand in front of Ji Tang, "Okay, you come."
Just as Ji Tang was about to take the remnant soul, his arm was pressed down by Su Jinzhou.
"Have you forgotten how you fainted?"
Huan Mang immediately withdrew his hand upon hearing this, and said in frustration, "Blame me, blame me!"
Su Jinzhou: "I'll come, and I'll tell you what I have to ask."
Ji Tang: "I have recovered a little, I can..."
"Jitang!" Su Jinzhou's tone was emphatically stated. This was the first time he spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal since recognizing Jitang. "Don't you know what happens when the power of the Yuan Shen is lost? It's just a remnant soul. Do you really need to show off your strength by leaving me and your brother here?"
Jitang shrugged his shoulders.
Su Jinzhou regretted it immediately after he said it, especially when he saw her, so delicate and weak, curled up in his arms, his heart suddenly ached terribly.
Huanmang looked at him with disapproval.
Su Jinzhou tried hard to maintain his expression. He wanted to hug Ji Tang and comfort him with his hands, but his reason forced him to restrain himself. In the end, he could only clench his fists and place them on his knees.
Jitang felt that she had no chance to interrogate Qiu Runfang. She pondered what she should do if her senior brother found out about the black-clad believers from Qiu Runfang.
Su Jinzhou saw Ji Tang's head drooping lower and lower, and he felt increasingly helpless. He softened his voice, "It's not that I don't allow you to interrogate Qiu Runfang, but your spiritual power has already been severely damaged, and you used a lot of it to suppress my inner demons before. If you continue to interrogate Qiu Runfang, you will inevitably suffer losses."
Ji Tang thought he said that to prevent her from interrogating him, so he nodded, "I understand."
Su Jinzhou's expression remained strong.
In my heart: What should I do? I’m so heartbroken.
Huanmang: Too much, too much!
Huan Mang: "Come Tangtang, brother will carry you to rest."
As he spoke, he bent down and opened his arms to hug Jitang.
This gives Su Jinzhou an opportunity.
He took this opportunity to hug Jitang, avoiding Huanmang's outstretched hand, and stood up from the chair. Holding Jitang in his arms, Su Jinzhou's discomfort from constantly drifting up finally eased a little, and his heart felt a little more settled.
Huanmang glared at him.
Su Jinzhou pretended not to see it, picked up the person and turned around and left.
Ji Tang was forced to bear the spotlight all the way back to Sujinzhoudongxue, where he was gently put down by him.
Ji Tang gave him the remnant soul in his hand.
Su Jinzhou took it, no matter how the remnant soul twisted, his eyes only focused on Ji Tang, "Are you tired? Take a rest."
Ji Tang raised his head and said, "Brother, I don't want to resume my identity for the time being."
She also has to secretly investigate who is the mastermind behind the black-clad believers.
Su Jinzhou responded, "Okay."
Ji Tang was exhausted and indeed tired. "Then I'll rest."
Qingmang Yanyue Mountain is at a very high altitude. Although summer is approaching, the temperature on the top of the mountain is still very low. Su Jinzhou tucked the corners of the quilt for her and tiptoed out.
His cave was being used by Jitang, so he turned and went to Jitang.
As soon as I entered, a cold wind blew in my face.
The cave arranged for Jitang was close to the edge of the cliff. Because there was no other cave to block the view, the cold wind penetrated more unscrupulously.
His heart ached again. He didn't care about Jiushu Shen's life or death before, and he didn't care where Dongxue was placed. Now, all these have become the most hurtful swords, stabbing him all the time, and the murderer holding the sword is himself.
His junior sister was seriously injured. Not only was she injured several times by his spiritual power, but she also had to suffer all these hardships while he ignored her. He felt pain and tightness in his chest when he thought about it.
He walked in, but stopped after a few steps.
Where did Jitang live when he was in Qianli Yanbo?
There was a moment of emptiness in Su Jinzhou's eyes - this made him feel even more uncomfortable.
It was a short distance, but he walked and stopped for almost an incense stick of time before he got inside.
The place was empty, without any trace of Ji Tang, but he still avoided looking at the stone bed. That was the girl's private territory, and he would feel presumptuous to even glance at it.
Only after sitting on the stone bench did he focus his attention on Qiu Runfang's remaining soul.
The power of the primordial spirit spread out like a net, firmly imprisoning the residual soul inside.
There was powerful spiritual power everywhere, and the remaining soul could not escape, so it could only huddle in the middle and tremble.
Su Jinzhou separated a few strands of his spiritual power and placed them on the remaining soul.
"Qiu Runfang."
The remnant soul suddenly stopped.
"Don't wait for me to ask, just tell me yourself."
Su Jinzhou saw that the remnant soul was motionless and was obviously pretending to be dead.
Several strands of spiritual power instantly extended and wrapped around the remnant soul, tightening her around and around.
It is the soul that is being strangled, not the body, and the pain experienced will be multiplied.
Half of Qiu Runfang's soul had been in the belly of the cold demon fish for years and months, and had been tortured to the point of being almost torn apart. Now, it had just merged with the other half of the soul in the dragon's body, and before it had time to catch its breath, it was facing the situation of being torn apart again.
The panicked and terrified voice was fed back to Su Jinzhou's sea of consciousness through the power of his soul. "Mighty One, please spare my life. I'll tell you everything, everything!"
Su Jinzhou nodded: "Go ahead."
Qiu Runfang wasn't sure what Su Jinzhou wanted to hear, so he started with the Dragon Lord. "You want to know how to make the Dragon Lord recover, right? I can't do anything about that. The poison in the Dragon Lord's body was planted by the Master, and none of us can cure it. My residual soul, combined with the Master's magic weapon, can accelerate the spread of the poison. Now that you've taken them out, with the Dragon Lord's cultivation level, the poison won't kill her anytime soon."
Su Jinzhou: "Who is your master?"
Qiu Runfang: "We are just the master's minions, we only work for the master, we have never seen the master."
Su Jinzhou raised an eyebrow, "Oh? The black-clad believers are just minions? Then even if you die, your master won't care."
Qiu Runfang's residual soul once again stopped in the net, and was so frightened that it stopped moving up and down.
Su Jinzhou sneered and did not urge him.
Qiu Runfang had never imagined that Su Jinzhou actually knew about the Black-Clothed Believers. With this in mind, she was unsure of what Su Jinzhou knew, and her words became more restrained.
The power of the soul shrank again.
Su Jinzhou: "It doesn't matter if I can't find out. It's you who's been shattered anyway."
Qiu Runfang was still trying to figure out how to deal with it when she suddenly felt her residual soul being tightened to its limit. Her residual soul was already fragile, and when it was restrained by such a powerful spiritual force, it instantly dissipated by three points.
She screamed in fear.
The sound entered Su Jinzhou's sea of consciousness, and Su Jinzhou blocked it directly.
Qiu Runfang screamed for a long time and begged for mercy for a long time. Seeing that Su Jinzhou still did not respond, she guessed that he was the one who cut off her voice. She hurriedly floated up and down, hoping to attract Su Jinzhou's attention.
Seeing this, Su Jinzhou estimated that Qiu Runfang's remaining soul could no longer hold on, so he removed the shield and relaxed the power of his soul.
In the sea of consciousness, Qiu Runfang's voice was already very weak, "Great Master, I will tell you everything I know..."
"I've only met the Master a few times. The Black-Cloaked Followers are also divided into different levels. I'm a Level 5 Follower, and I only run errands for the Master. There are six levels of Black-Cloaked Followers. The higher the level, the more valued the Master is."
"That magical weapon placed within the dragon's body along with my remaining soul is the one our master uses to restrain us. It's called the Soul Binding Orb. A shred of my remaining soul is trapped within the orb. If I stray too far from it, it will seek me out. If I even think of escaping, the orb will explode along with my remaining soul."
She said as if offering a treasure, "Are you seeking the mastermind behind our actions? Each of the black-clad followers carries a Soul-Binding Orb, a token of communication between the master and us, like a spiritual communication stone. He can use the Soul-Binding Orb to determine our location, but I still have a use. Please don't kill me, Master!"
With her life at stake, Qiu Runfang simply sold her master out.
Su Jinzhou already had an idea in his mind.
He asked, "Do you know that female cultivator just now?"
Qiu Runfang immediately said, "I know him!" The remnant soul trembled, as if frightened. "I didn't expect that person... is already a powerful being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. I am terrified."
She was in a state of residual soul, and she had previously noticed at the bottom of the Nine Nether Abyss that Ji Tang's spiritual power had reached the tribulation period.
The little nightmare who was beaten by her before and had no chance to fight back has now grown to a height that she can never reach.
Before Su Jinzhou could ask more, she blurted out everything she knew. "I fought with the Great One at the Sturgeon Shark King Beast's inheritance land. Afterwards, she escaped, no, entered the inheritance land. Because she carried the aura of the Sturgeon Shark King Beast, she could enter and exit the inheritance land freely. She became the master's key to enter the inheritance land. So, I was ordered by the master to find her, and then I infiltrated the Nightmare Clan and became the advisor to the then-Nightmare Clan leader."
"The Nightmare Clan leader has always wanted to kill her, and we hit it off pretty well..." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but observe Su Jinzhou's reaction. Seeing that he wasn't angry, she continued, "So I suggested that the Nightmare Clan leader unite with the cultivation sects. If he could expand his power, I could also use him to fulfill my master's orders."
Su Jinzhou: "The Nightmare Clan is powerful, what good will it bring to your master?"
Qiu Runfang: "The Nightmare Clan is powerful, but the cultivation sects are also not weak. If the two sides fight, the fisherman will benefit."
Su Jinzhou: "What benefit did you gain?"
Qiu Runfang: "This... I really don't know."
This means that Qiu Runfang has no access to more confidential information and has no idea about the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qiu Runfang was afraid that this would upset him, so he immediately said, "Afterwards, Master Jitang disappeared, and I couldn't find him anywhere. Then, under my master's new order, I introduced the poison into the dragon's body."
"I don't know much about this poison. It was the first-level black-clothed believer who gave it to me directly before asking me to do the work."
Su Jinzhou: "How do you communicate with the first-level believers?"
Qiu Runfang, "We can't find them, but they can find us using the Soul Binding Orb."
Su Jinzhou fell silent. Qiu Runfang, fearing he would be dissatisfied, quickly added, "A hundred years later, I learned through a first-level believer that Master Jitang had created a new place to reside, called the Nine Netherworld Abyss. I began to think of a way to find her in the Nine Netherworld Abyss and bring her to the master."
Su Jinzhou: "Have you ever fought?"
Qiu Runfang: "Many times, Master Jitang has been investigating us. She knows more about the Black-Cloaked Believers than I do!"
Su Jinzhou's expression froze, "What did you say?!"
