Deep within that chaotic space, Xiao Jiu, with a playful smile, intently examined the four Nascent Souls before him. His eyes flickered with curiosity and cunning, and he occasionally chatted quietly with his companions, seemingly discussing some intriguing plan. When Jiang Feng quietly approached and accidentally caught sight of their conversation, he couldn't help but be startled.
One of them excitedly said, "I've already figured out how to deal with these four people. I'm going to use my latest invention, the bee stingers, to prick them all over. Then, they'll be itching unbearably and scratching non-stop, maybe even having their soul skin scratched off. Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting!"
Another person shook his head and suggested a more brutal method: "Your method is too troublesome. I think we should use my soul hammer to break their limbs first, then reconnect them, and then break them again. Only by repeating this torture can they truly feel the pain."
Even the four Nascent Souls, who possessed extraordinary abilities, were terrified by these words. They had never imagined that they would end up in such a terrifying situation.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu noticed Jiang Feng's arrival and hurriedly went to greet him with a respectful smile on his face. "Master, you are here. How do you plan to interrogate these four people? Otherwise, how about leaving it to us first and you go have a cup of tea and rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng cast a penetrating glance at the four people before him—Liu Tiandao and Liu Zhenchuan from the Xuanhai Sect, Chi Yan from the Tianxing Sect, and the mysterious man with the broken arm. Their faces were filled with fear and uneasiness, as if they had sensed the impending doom.
Jiang Feng then gently waved his hand, releasing the divine beast, the Sky-Swallowing Tiger. The appearance of this mighty beast shook the entire space. He then called over Hu Sanniang and Song Yunfeng, both of whom were his relatives.
Jiang Feng's gaze slowly swept over the crowd before him. His tone was calm and deep, yet imbued with undeniable authority and power. "What do you have to say now?" These words, like an invisible hammer, struck the depths of everyone's heart, sending ripples through them and making them tremble uncontrollably. And then, in this chaotic space, a battle of life and death, loyalty and betrayal, and the revelation of secrets, quietly began.
Liu Zhenchuan, a master of Xuanhai Sect, was furious at this moment. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Jiang Feng, if you dare to continue to imprison us, the wrath of the dynasty will descend, and your Qingyun Sect will face a catastrophe!" However, his threat did not seem to have any effect.
Jiang Feng simply smiled faintly, and a chaotic aura instantly enveloped him. His voice was cold and decisive, "Such a nuisance! Keeping you here is futile. Sanniang, this person has already reached the early stage of Great Accomplishment. Now that I have temporarily sealed him, you should refine and absorb him to enhance your own strength."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in shock. A Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage was about to be absorbed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, with no room for resistance. This was truly too much! However, they dared not raise the slightest objection and could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded.
Sanniang looked at Song Yunfeng and Guan Yu beside her, and the two smiled at each other. Guan Yu joked, "Sanniang, you go first. Don't you see there are still a lot here? I'll leave one for my eldest brother so that he can have a taste too." Although these words sounded like a joke, they revealed their awe and obedience to Jiang Feng.
Upon hearing this, Sanniang said nothing more and dragged Liu Zhenchuan into the house. Soon, Liu Zhenchuan's terrified screams were heard from inside the house, making people shudder. Jiang Feng once again cast his gaze at the remaining three people, his eyes deep and cold, as if he could see through everything.
At this time, Chi Yan finally couldn't help but speak: "Sir, I am willing to recognize you as my master, I only ask that you can spare my life!" There was a hint of trembling and begging in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng curled up a playful smile: "Oh? That depends on whether your information is valuable to me." His tone was relaxed and casual, but it revealed unquestionable majesty.
Chi Yan pondered for a moment, and finally decided to confess: "This operation was indeed directed by the Dynasty, and my Tianxing Sect was personally ordered to participate by the Third Prince. The matter of collecting souls was also the will of the Dynasty. After the sect competition some time ago, Liu Jian and Zhang Jie broke through their bodies and transformed into infants. The Dynasty said they had a way to help them rebuild their true bodies, so they kept them. Later, the people from the Dynasty issued another order, asking us to secretly collect souls, saying that they would be of great use. You should already know what happened next, my lord."
Jiang Feng listened and nodded, seemingly unsurprised. He asked again, "Are there any other powerful beings in your sect?"
Chi Yan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. He didn't dare to reveal the sect's secrets easily. However, under Jiang Feng's piercing gaze, he ultimately chose to remain silent. Seeing this, Jiang Feng stopped asking questions. A wave of chaotic energy enveloped him once again, and then he looked at Song Yunfeng: "Brother, he's yours."
Song Yunfeng didn't hesitate and took Chi Yan's Nascent Soul with him to find a place to refine it. The remaining two were already terrified and at a loss as to what to do. They knew that they were unlikely to escape this day.
Seeing this, Liu Tiandao finally collapsed. He cried and shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything you want to know!" His voice was filled with endless fear and despair.
Hearing this, Jiang Feng turned to look at the old dragon that was about to fall asleep and asked, "Can you restore some of your strength by refining this Nascent Soul in the middle stage of Great Perfection?"
The old dragon replied in a low voice: "It does have some effect, but next time it can only help you for half an hour at most." Although its voice was hoarse, it revealed an irresistible power.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng casually threw Liu Tiandao into Lao Long's mouth. Then his eyes fell on the mysterious man again, and he asked calmly, "You should have the information I want to know, right?"
The man shook his head and said bitterly: "I will die if I say it, and I will die if I don't say it. Why should I say more?" His tone revealed helplessness and despair.
However, Jiang Feng didn't give up. He knew this man must be hiding an important secret. So, he said, "If your information is valuable to me, I can promise not to kill you. I can even help you reshape your true form." His tone was sincere and firm, as if he was making a solemn promise.
When the man heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true." Jiang Feng answered firmly.
"Well, I'll tell you..." The man finally spoke, recounting all the secrets he knew. Jiang Feng listened quietly, his mind already prepared for his next move. Finally, he instructed Bailing to take the silly tiger away and train him, ready for the next challenge.
