Jiang Feng turned around and walked to the front of the room, found a chair and sat down, looked at the two trembling Nascent Souls and said, "What else do you two have to say now?" Jiang Feng showed his power lightly, and the two felt like they were about to explode at any time.
The leader of the Viper Gang took a deep breath and spoke tremblingly, "Sir, I am the leader of the Viper Gang, nicknamed 'Venomous Taoist' by the people of Jianghu. The ambush we set for you was forced by Zhang Qingde! Even if we in the Viper Gang had a hundred guts, we would never dare to go against you!" After he finished speaking, his face was full of flattery, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.
Jiang Feng's face remained expressionless, his eyes cold as ice as he stared at him, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant. After a long moment, he managed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Are you done?"
Upon hearing this, the Viper Taoist's heart trembled violently, a sense of foreboding washing over him. But now that things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and continue to plead, "Sir, if it's anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything I know! I hope you'll be kind enough to spare me this time, considering how hard I've worked so far in my training!"
At that moment, Xiao Jiu slowly approached, dragging a battered Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul was a bloody mess, as if it had endured brutal torture. Even more terrifying, its entire body was densely packed with black maggots, which were frantically tearing at the already shattered Nascent Soul. At this moment, the man was in a state of suicidal despair, unable to live or die. He wailed in agony, begging only for a quick and painless death.
Xiao Jiu approached, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile. He slowly spoke, "Master, this guy truly deserves it! Ever since he fell into our hands, he's been viciously bitten three times a day by these soul-devouring maggots. After that, our gang's alchemists use a special method to refine simple soul-nourishing pills to repair him. Hehe, after such repeated torment, this guy is practically doomed to failure!"
This soul-eating maggot was produced by the Soul-eating Maggot King, a monster that Jiang Feng subdued. It specializes in eating human souls and primordial infants.
After hearing Xiaojiu's words, the Viper Gang leader and the other man's Nascent Soul were horrified. They looked at their companion who was being tortured in horror, secretly wondering how they could escape this terrible predicament.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Well done. Xiaojiu will select some monsters with special abilities from today and set up a punishment hall, which you will manage. Your cultivation is now at the Nascent Soul stage, so I will give you a cup of enlightenment tea to help you break through."
After that, a cup of seemingly ordinary but rich spiritual tea flew into Xiaojiu's hands. Xiaojiu was so excited that he knelt down to express his gratitude!
The two men looked at Jiang Feng's handwriting and the cup of magical enlightenment tea, and couldn't help but regret why they got involved in this mess!
Jiang Feng asked, "I want to know who wants to kill me? And who is slaughtering humans and collecting souls?"
Hearing Jiang Feng's question, the Viper Taoist was startled and quickly replied, "My Lord, I really don't know who is responsible for the massacre of the human race! However, this abominable old dog came to us for help on behalf of the Xuanhai Sect. In my opinion, he must know the details of the inside story!"
Jiang Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "So, you are completely unaware of this matter? If that's the case, then there seems to be no point in saving your life. Xiaojiu, take this man away. Make sure to take good care of him every day."
After hearing this, Xiaojiu showed a sly smile on his face. After a chuckle, he reached out and grabbed the two Nascent Souls of the Poisonous Snake Taoist, then turned around and left with a swagger.
At this time, Jiang Feng turned his gaze to the old man in the Nascent Soul stage of the Fusion stage and asked expressionlessly, "Why, don't you want to tell me some news?"
The old man gritted his teeth and replied stubbornly, "Humph, Jiang Feng, I have to admit that you do have some abilities. But even if I tell you the truth, how can you let me go so easily?"
Jiang Feng slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Yes, I will certainly not let you go. However, if you tell me the truth, at least I can make your death more painful."
The old man suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter was deafening. "Hahahaha, Jiang Feng, ah Jiang Feng, you are too naive! You think that you can defeat me alone and you have the ability to compete with the entire Xuanhai Sect? It's simply a foolish dream! The strength of the Xuanhai Sect is beyond your imagination! No matter what means you use, I will take them all!"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "I hope you will continue to be so stubborn!"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "I hope you will continue to be so stubborn!"
After saying this, Jiang Feng waved his hands, and a dense, chaotic energy gushed out of him, quickly enveloping the other person like a thick, gray mist. Meanwhile, Jiang Feng's face darkened as he spoke coldly, "To tell you the truth, this energy is the energy of chaos! It possesses an extremely terrifying power, capable of devouring all the energy contained in all things in the world. If you allow this chaotic energy to completely refine you, you will be reduced to ashes, without even the chance of reincarnation. From then on, you will completely dissipate into this vast universe!"
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he was filled with fear. After all, these so-called reformers had always believed most in the laws of heaven and earth, and each of them firmly believed in the cycle of life and death. However, now, facing the mysterious and powerful chaotic energy before him, and the terrible consequences Jiang Feng had described, the old man couldn't help but feel panic.
"What exactly do you want to know?" The old man could no longer remain calm and shouted in surprise.
Seeing the old man was already intimidated by him, Jiang Feng raised his hand slightly, temporarily stopping the chaotic energy from further eroding him. He stared at the old man with a sharp gaze and said sternly, "Tell me everything you know!"
Seeing this, the old man sighed deeply, then spoke slowly, "Actually, my name is Zhang Qingde. Although I'm nominally a member of the Xuanhai Sect, my status within the sect is truly low. It's precisely because of this that, when this mission arose, the other fellow disciples avoided it, and I was the only one who took the initiative to take it on. As for the killing and soul-stealing incidents you mentioned... To be honest, such incidents have been occurring frequently recently and are becoming increasingly severe. Many cultivators believe that the demons are behind this. But I suspect that's not the case. Although the demons are vicious, they do such things in the territory of the major sects. Why haven't any nearby sects taken any interest?"
