Chapter 1169: Volume 7 Conquering the Human World Chapter 1165 Interrogation

The large man finally turned back, his face showing a complex expression as he gave the corpse of the old man one glance and heaved a sigh.

“What, does Brother Meng still hold lingering affection for the Ghost Spirit Sect?”

Among the Qi Refinement disciples, one seemingly ordinary middle-aged cultivator suddenly spoke up, then raised his hand towards a silver-white flying sword circling above. With a flick of his wrist, the sword returned to him.

Following a flash, the flying sword transformed into a streak of silver rainbow and shot back, landing in his hand.

The old man had actually been killed by this person, who unexpectedly released a flying sword from behind. And this person, originally appearing to be at the Qi Refinement Realm, now revealed the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

“Since I’ve already decided to pledge my allegiance to the Devil Flame Sect, of course, I won’t regret anything. Although I didn’t have much association with this person, I had seen him several times in the past, so feeling a bit sentimental is normal,” replied Brother Meng, the large man, indifferently.

“It’s best if Brother Meng thinks this way. Ever since the Ghost Spirit Sect lost two Nascent Soul cultivators and a large number of Core Formation cultivators over a hundred years ago, their power has significantly diminished, and they no longer deserve to monopolize a nation’s territory. This time, with the Devil Flame Sect and Controlling Spirit Sect teaming up with the newly risen Blood Slaughter Sect, there’s no escape for the Ghost Spirit Sect. After this, the Blood Slaughter Sect will take the Ghost Spirit Sect’s place in our Devilish Path. Your decision to join our sect is indeed wise,” said the middle-aged cultivator with a hehe laugh.

At this moment, the breath of the remaining few changed abruptly as well, all revealing their Foundation Establishment cultivation levels. It turned out that these people were all cultivators of the Devil Flame Sect.

“As long as your sect fulfills its promise to me, I will cooperate with all my might,” Brother Meng responded with a superficial smile.

“Haha, rest assured about that matter. Brother Meng, you’re quite talented. Once this battle is won, our master will personally accept you into the sect. That will be far better than your solitary cultivation in the Ghost Spirit Sect with no guidance. Now, regarding our current location, it’s indeed quite remote. Hiding a large number of people here is something the Ghost Spirit Sect would indeed not notice. And this is all thanks to the several Restraining Breath Talismans that our master instructed me to bring before leaving. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape the spiritual sense of that person,” the middle-aged cultivator said, glancing at the corpse on the ground, somewhat proudly.

“Fortunately, there’s an ancient transportation formation here that provided me with an excuse to lure him to this desolate place and make a move. Otherwise, even if I could achieve a successful strike, there are more than a dozen Qi Refinement disciples here. If they had activated the restrictive formations or sent out a warning with a Sound Transmission Talisman, it would have been troublesome. Now that he’s gone, I can force all the other disciples to gather and take them down, not leaving a single one,” said the large man with a sudden cold and ruthless tone.

“Good, Brother Meng’s method is sound. Let’s proceed with this plan,” the middle-aged cultivator said, showing a bit of appreciation upon hearing this.

By then, another had already skillfully removed the old man’s storage pouch, and then a fireball was launched, instantly reducing the corpse to ashes.

Then, these people prepared to leave the stalactite cave.

But just at this moment, the ancient transportation formation that no one had been paying attention to suddenly started humming, and the entire array began to give off a white light as if it had been triggered by someone being teleported over.

This sudden occurrence startled Brother Meng, the middle-aged cultivator, and the others, leaving them somewhat dumbfounded.

The old man had clearly stated that the formation had long been abandoned, yet at such a coincidental moment, it started functioning normally.

“Destroy the formation quickly, regardless of who is being teleported here. The critical moment is upon us; we cannot afford any unintended complications,” the middle-aged cultivator reacted quickly, and with a loud shout, he raised his hand.

Instantly, the flying sword which had been retracted shot out again as a streak of cold light, striking the corner of the formation.

The other few also suddenly came to their senses and began to consecrate various Magic Artifacts, hoping to destroy the transportation formation in a flash.

After several “rumble” sounds, a dazzling white light burst from the ancient transportation formation, and the white radiance deflected the incoming Magic Artifacts.

This caused a shock to the middle-aged cultivator and the others.

Naturally, they did not know that if the ancient transportation formation had not been activated, any low-level cultivator could easily destroy it. But once the teleportation started, the formation itself would be infused with a powerful layer of Spiritual Power, and without Core Formation or higher cultivation, it would be impossible to destroy the formation.

Otherwise, if something went wrong at the other end during ancient experts’ teleportation, it would lead to a terrible mess.

As the stunned eyes of these individuals watched, the figures of a man and a woman appeared vaguely within the formation, their forms flickering unsteadily as if they were still dizzy from the teleportation.

The middle-aged man saw that the male was in his twenties, while the girl appeared to be a teenager and first swept his spiritual sense over the girl, finding that she was only at the Qi Refinement Realm, causing his heart to relax.

In the realm of immortal cultivators, one cannot judge a woman by her looks – a teenage girl might actually be a high-level cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years. This is a common occurrence. Conversely, if a man is only in his twenties, most likely his cultivation level would not be very high. After all, very few men practice techniques to preserve their youthful appearance.

Thus, he was about to scan the young man with his spiritual sense, but saw him shaking his head, as if starting to recover from his daze. In his urgency, he could not bother to assess the young man’s cultivation and loudly ordered in advance.

“Act now, kill them quickly!”

In his opinion, given the woman’s low level of cultivation and the man’s youthful appearance, the most he could be was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at best. Naturally, it was best to take advantage of the moment while the other party was still dazed and kill them by surprise to avoid future troubles.

“Wait, don’t attack!” The moment the large man with the surname Meng caught a clear glimpse of the young man’s face, his expression turned to one of alarmed panic, and he hastily shouted to stop the others.

However, the other Devil Flame Sect cultivators, led by a middle-aged cultivator, did not hesitate to activate their Magic Artifacts, aiming towards the male and female caught in the Formation.

As for the middle-aged cultivator, upon hearing the great man’s voice, he assumed that the male and female might be acquaintances of the large man and pretended to be oblivious.

The result was just as several Magic Artifacts, glowing with spiritual light, were about to flood the two people inside, a sudden cold hum pierced the air!

“You few, looking for death!”

Following this cold voice, a thunderous boom resonated, and abruptly, a blinding burst of green light erupted within the Formation, looking like a green sun suddenly appearing there. All the Magic Artifacts shattered into pieces upon contact with the green light.

Then several strands of golden sword Qi burst forth from the green light, and in a flash, they pierced through the bodies of several people including the middle-aged cultivator. They didn’t even manage to make a sound before they instantly met their demise, with their corpses collapsing to the cave floor.

Only the large man surnamed Meng remained unharmed, yet he stood frozen in place, afraid to move a single bit, as if worried about any misunderstanding from the young man inside the Formation, his face pale with fear.

“What, you recognize me?” The young man from inside the Formation slowly emerged, his gaze coldly sweeping over the large man, and asked indifferently. The teenage girl followed respectfully behind him, appearing very well-behaved, seemingly the young man’s junior.

The youth was none other than Han Li, who had spent over a month to repair the transportation formation in the Scattered Stars Sea and finally returned to Heavenly South Region.

As for the girl following him, it was the very same Tian Qin’er whose aptitude in arrays had greatly satisfied him.

“When I was younger, I followed a family elder during The Moulan’s invasion and witnessed the senior’s formidable powers. I have engraved the senior’s voice and appearance in my heart!” Upon hearing the question, the large man surnamed Meng hurriedly paid his respects to Han Li and spoke with trepidation.

“The Moulan’s invasion? Hehe, that happened quite a long time ago. You still remember my face, which is surprising. However, you are a disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect, aren’t you? Are these your fellow disciples?” Upon hearing this, Han Li’s eyes narrowed as he asked quietly.

“I am a disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect, but these people were cultivators from the Devil Flame Sect.” The large man hesitated for a second, but catching the chilly gaze from across him, he ended up spilling everything truthfully.

“Devil Flame Sect? You’re fortunate you’ve been honest. If you had just now claimed they were your fellow disciples, I would have killed you on the spot. The fluctuation of the cultivation techniques on these bodies is obviously very different from that of your Ghost Spirit Sect,” Han Li’s cold words made the large man shiver inside, all other thoughts instantly vanishing from his mind.

Tian Qin’er stood behind Han Li, looking curiously at everything around them, her eyes occasionally flashing with intrigue.

“I’m not interested in knowing why a Ghost Spirit Sect disciple is here with the Devil Flame Sect. I just have some questions for you, answer them truthfully.” Han Li spoke again.

“As long as junior knows it, I’ll spare no detail in my answers,” the large man surnamed Meng quickly replied.

“I’ve been away from the Heavenly South Region for a few years. Tell me about the major events that have occurred in the region during the last century,” Han Li inquired calmly.

“Yes, I will report truthfully. The significant event would be from eighty years ago, when the Profound Moment Sect of Tian Luo Country was annihilated overnight by the Fire Spirit Sect. The specific circumstances were…” The large man dutifully narrated in the presence of Han Li, the Nascent Soul cultivator. The immense disparity in their cultivations made the large man very cautious, not daring to hide anything.

Han Li listened to the large man’s words, his expression unchanged, but would occasionally ask a question about topics that interested him. The large man made sure to answer each query in great detail, obviously eager to satisfy Han Li.

After talking for about a noon, the large man finally finished recounting all the so-called “major events” of the Heavenly South Region over the century, then stopped talking somewhat nervously.

“How is the Drifting Cloud Sect faring now, has anything significant happened there? Is Elder Cheng still in charge of the sect affairs?” After a moment of silence, Han Li suddenly asked.

“The Drifting Cloud Sect! Because it’s located quite far away, I’m not very clear about the events of the Senior’s sect, but it seems that the sect is now led by an Elder with the surname Lu!” The large man hesitated briefly before giving an uncertain response.
