Chapter 442: Interrogation of Elder Hong
The same black stone can also be found in Yun Qingqing's space, but it is in broken pieces.
On that occasion, Qingfeng Ziyang's spirit hid in a ghost and sneaked into the Regent's Palace along with the corpse of the soul awaiting trial. He suddenly attacked Xiao Changheng and almost let him succeed.
Later, Yun Qingqing discovered and suppressed the ghost that had self-destructed, and chased Qingfengzi's Yang Shen to a cave. After fighting with him, Qingfengzi was defeated and self-destructed his body to escape again as Yang Shen.
It was at that time that Yun Qingqing seized several pieces of black stone fragments.
At first glance, those stone fragments didn't seem to have anything special about them except that their material was unknown.
But Yun Qingqing knew that this was because it had been destroyed by Qingfengzi in order to prevent the stone from falling into his hands.
Later, she took the stone to the underworld to ask King Yan for help, and used the reincarnation mirror to investigate, but could not find any results.
But precisely because the Samsara Mirror could not find any information related to the gravel, it actually showed that there was something wrong with it.
Therefore, when Yun Qingqing saw the stone in front of her, she immediately took it seriously.
But Elder Hong did not cooperate and sneered:
"You vixen, don't expect to get any information about the Lord God from me! I swear allegiance to the Lord God until death! I will never betray Honghuang Palace!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hands and made hand gestures, as if he was ready to fight to the death.
Yun Qingqing looked at him coldly but did not stop him.
But when Wang Xianliang saw the hand gestures he made, his expression changed drastically:
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct, stop him!"
Wang Xianliang was very aware of the power of self-destruction. He was afraid that he would be affected, but he was trapped in the formation and had nowhere to hide.
He shrank into a corner and shouted at Yun Qingqing to stop it.
But Yun Qingqing sneered and looked at Elder Hong calmly:
"Besides self-destruction, what else can you, the lackeys of the Honghuang Palace, do? How could I not be on guard against such an unoriginal tactic?"
Elder Hong's expression changed, and he found that his hand seal had no effect.
His face turned pale and he immediately started to make hand gestures again. After trying several times, there was still no effect and his face became even paler.
He stared at Yun Qingqing intently for a while, then suddenly came to his senses and looked up at the formation that trapped him:
"You tampered with this formation!"
Looking at Yun Qingqing's half-smile, Elder Hong finally understood.
When she first used the formation to trap herself, she had already prepared for the possibility of self-destruction and added restrictions to the formation!
The question is, how could such an amazing method be performed by a girl who is only in her teens!
Elder Hong looked at Yun Qingqing in disbelief and asked the same question again:
"Who the hell are you? If there's a powerful figure like you among the younger generation of Xuanmen, how could you still be unknown? What sect are you from, and who is your master?"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes and sneered:
"You're still trying to gather intelligence for Honghuang Palace. Do you think you can still escape from me? Or have you forgotten that the mark of your so-called Lord God has disappeared?"
Elder Hong's face turned pale. He did intend to act according to his habit, but the disappearance of the brand on his arm was too bizarre. He still couldn't believe it was true!
However, it was a fact that the mysterious connection between him and the Lord God had indeed disappeared.
Yun Qingqing looked at his face, which was turning pale and blue at times, and said in a cold voice:
"Don't hold onto your luck, people from the Primordial Palace. I'm not the only one dealing with you. Without this mark, even if you expose yourself and abandon your body now, your soul won't be able to escape back to your master! I advise you to be honest and tell me the truth about what this stone is!"
The blood drained from Elder Hong's face, but he was not as afraid of death as Cang Huai and the others before him. Instead, he sneered:
"Even if the Lord God's brand is removed by you, a witch, using some unknown means, I will never betray the Lord God!"
"Don't even think that the mantra talisman can be of any use to me. I'm not the same as a loser like him!" He said, and glared at Wang Xianliang fiercely again.
Wang Xianliang saw this and glared back at Yun Qingqing, turning around and shouting:
"Immortal Yun, I have a way to deal with him! Even if the truth doesn't work, this old man has come up with countless torture methods to refine ghost slaves! If I use these methods on him, I'm sure he'll confess!"
Elder Hong took a breath of cold air, turned around and cursed:
"You bastard, you've lost all conscience! No matter what, I've helped you. Not only have you put me in this predicament, but you've even resorted to such means against me! You're simply despicable and shameless!"
Seeing him like this, Wang Xianliang showed a smug look on his face. He ignored him and continued to say to Yun Qingqing:
"Yun Xiangu, you see, he's scared! If you're willing to let me go, I'll tell you all his tricks!"
"Oh?" Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at him with a half-smile, "What methods do you have?"
Wang Xianliang thought he saw hope for negotiation and said excitedly:
"As long as you promise to let me go and that those who ask for 1 cent share cannot hold me responsible, I will tell you..."
He paused for only a moment, then continued triumphantly:
"When Elder Hong tortured living people to refine ghost slaves, his usual methods included: inserting bamboo sticks into nails, chopping off fingers one by one, scalping them alive and pouring mercury into their bodies, gouging out their eyes and pulling out their tongues..."
He said a lot in a row, and Elder Hong's face turned pale and he shouted:
"Why the hell shut up! The effect of the truth talisman hasn't worn off yet, and you've already told her everything!"
Wang Xianliang then realized the problem, took a deep breath, and covered his mouth.
But it was of no use. Whenever he was thinking about torturing people, his mouth would pour out everything he was thinking about uncontrollably.
Wang Xianliang covered his mouth and continued talking in a muffled voice.
When Valley Master Sun Shijing rushed in with a group of elders and senior disciples, he saw this strange scene and heard Wang Xianliang speaking in a muffled voice about the horrifying punishment.
Along the way, Sun Shijing had already told everyone what had happened in general.
Although everyone did not want to doubt the Valley Master, the whole incident was too shocking and they could not help but find it hard to believe.
Until this moment, hearing Wang Xianliang say such words, it was equivalent to confirming in front of them that this disciple who had always been outstanding in every aspect was actually a person with evil ambitions.
As for Elder Hong, it goes without saying that the jar that sealed the ghost slave is still in his hand, which is irrefutable evidence.
Yun Qingqing handed Wang Xianliang over to the people of Yixian Valley and asked them to interrogate him first, while he stayed to continue interrogating Elder Hong.
Sun Shijing now obeyed his orders. Without saying a word, he took his men to drag Wang Xianliang away, and everyone left.
Elder Hong was the only one left in the room, facing Yun Qingqing alone. He was really panicking:
"You...you are from a reputable and upright sect! Once that method of refining ghost slaves is used, it will definitely affect your Dao heart! You are a smart person, you will never listen to the words of that beast Wang Xianliang, right?"
