Hearing that reinforcements from the Donghua Continent Cultivation World and Tiannan Continent Cultivation World were about to arrive, Zhou Yang and other monks present were overjoyed.
In the previous battle in Bingtao City, they had already seen the methods of those demonic cultivators who were ravaging the world of immortal cultivation in Beiting Continent. To be honest, if there were no more reinforcements, just relying on their current Nascent Soul cultivators, they would be able to wipe out the demons.
, the probability is really low.
Moreover, during the battle in Bingtao City, the cultivators guessed from the strange actions of the demonic cultivators that the demonic cultivators were secretly planning something, which made them even more worried about what might happen.
At this time, the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the other two major cultivating circles was undoubtedly a shot in the arm and gave them great comfort.
As long as their side maintains an absolute advantage in the number of top monks, no matter what plots the demonic cultivators have, it is impossible to change the general trend.
"Master Nie, since we can't search the witch's soul to obtain information, how about torture? Under torture, maybe she will do it!"
After being overjoyed, a Nascent Soul monk from the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent interrogated the witch Huan Qianqian and expressed his thoughts.
There are countless types of tortures used to torture cultivators in the world of immortality, and unlike those tortures that only target the physical body in the secular world, many tortures in the world of immortality can directly target the souls of monks, causing both the body and the soul to suffer unbearable pain.
It's just that these tortures may be okay against some middle and low-level monks, but the effect is really terrible against a Nascent Soul monk.
Nie Yushuang shook her head at that time and said: "Torture will not work. Nie has used all kinds of torture on the witch these days, but he has not been able to pry out any useful information from her mouth!"
"Look, since ordinary torture may not make the witch confess, we might as well use some more severe punishments, such as detaining her Nascent Soul and asking fellow Taoist Zhou to slowly refine it with the fire of demon refining. I don't believe she can endure it.
I went through all the pain of soul refining without confessing at all!"
Another Nascent Soul cultivator from Liuyun Continent’s Immortal Realm expressed his opinion.
Zhou Yang looked at the monk who spoke out and recognized that he was from the Nine Sun Sect. This sect had had many conflicts with the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] where Xuanyang Immortal Sect was located in the past, and its strength was quite strong.
Because of this, Master Shen Menglong of the Yuqing Taoist Sect couldn't help but retorted: "Shen privately thinks that what you said is inappropriate, not to mention that the soul refining punishment has long been banned.
If we really use this punishment on that witch, with her cultivation and will, it probably won't be a big problem if she lasts for a month or two. We don't have that much time to spend with her like this."
When the monk surnamed You heard this, he couldn't help but smile coldly and said: "How can you know whether it works or not if you don't give it a try? And since Fellow Daoist Shen is opposed to You's suggestion, I don't know what Fellow Daoist Shen himself has to say?"
Shen Menglong just felt that his suggestion was inappropriate. He didn't have any good suggestions. He didn't know how to answer this time.
Fortunately, Master Qingyang didn't want to see his old friend make a fool of himself, so he immediately took over the conversation and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is no news from the interrogation. It has been half a month since we caught this witch. Those demon cultivators must know that she has been killed."
The matter is in our hands, even if we really ask something from her, we still have to worry about whether we will fall into the trap of the demon cultivator."
"So according to my opinion, we might as well wait for the reinforcements from the other two sides to arrive, and then directly use this witch to sacrifice the flag to boost the morale of the army!"
When the monk surnamed You heard what he said, he immediately sneered and said coldly: "You thought fellow Taoist Qingyang had some good tricks, but it turned out that he only..."
But before the monk surnamed You had finished speaking, Xu Tianlin suddenly interrupted him and said: "Fellow Daoist You, please stay here for now. Xu seems to have something to say, Daoist Zhou, so it's better to listen to his opinion first. After all, then
He captured the witch."
After saying this, Xu Tianlin did not look at the ugly face of the monk surnamed You, but looked at Zhou Yang and winked lightly.
As the nominal person in charge of this reinforcement of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent, Xu Tianlin certainly knew the past conflicts between the two parties, and did not want the two sides to quarrel and fight within themselves at this time, without letting Nie Yushuang and other monks from the Immortal Cultivation World in Beiting Continent see.
Got a joke.
Zhou Yang also understood this truth, so when Xu Tianlin winked at him, even though he was a little depressed about being involved in this matter, he still had to nod and said: "Zhou was not sure at first, but since Master Xu
Having said that, Zhou will tell you his own opinion."
After saying that, he saw that the eyes of all cultivators were gathered here, so he straightened his expression and continued: "The witch refused to confess, probably because she knew that she would not escape death even if she confessed. Maybe we can give her some hope.
, promising that as long as she confesses, she will be suppressed instead of killed. Maybe in this way, she will confess in order to survive."
After hearing what he said, Nie Yushuang's originally expectant eyes suddenly dimmed again. She shook her head in disappointment and said: "Nie has also thought about this method proposed by fellow Daoist Zhou, but the witch is really greedy and insists on letting me wait.
How is this possible before she is willing to confess!"
Zhou Yang originally said this just because he was chasing a duck, but when he heard Nie Yushuang say this, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Then kill him, just do what Senior Qingyang said, in front of everyone below
As a monk, Zhou personally used [Qianyang True Fire] to refine her, so she has made the best use of it!"
As soon as he said this, Xu Tianlin, who had just hinted at him to come out to smooth things over, immediately followed up and said: "Whether you kill him or not, at least let the monks below know that no matter how fierce the demon cultivators are, this world of immortality still belongs to us and other cultivators after all.
The general trend of the world is still on the side of us and other immortal cultivators. The demon cultivator is just a scabies disease. It is a delusion to want to shake the general trend of the world of immortal cultivators!"
These two important people said this, and Master Qingyang and Shen Menglong agreed. Even the monk surnamed You was speechless.
Seeing this, Nie Yushuang pondered for a moment, and after secretly communicating with some other Nascent Soul monks from the Beitingzhou Immortal World, he finally made up his mind and nodded in response: "Since all the fellow Taoists agree to do this, then let's do it!
"
After the matter was decided, the practitioners dispersed.
It happened that Xiao Ying had almost completed the treatment of some seriously injured people in the city at this time. When she had some free time, Zhou Yang accompanied her to wander around the ice city, taking in the unique scenery on the ice field.
They had only been out for five days when Nie Yushuang hurriedly summoned Zhou Yang to return to Ice City to discuss important matters.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, today when Junior Brother Chen used torture to extract a confession from the witch as usual according to Nie's previous instructions, she suddenly spoke and said that if I didn't let her go, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"
"She was so confident in what she said that Junior Brother Chen didn't feel like it was a lie, so he summoned Nie to deal with it. However, no matter how much Nie pressed her, she refused to explain. She had to agree to let her go before she could tell.
"
"Of course it was impossible for Mr. Nie to let her go, and he told her that she would be sentenced to death in two days. After that, she was silent for a while, and then told Mr. Nie that she wanted to see you, Taoist friend Zhou."
"Nie thought this might be a breakthrough, so he contacted fellow Taoist Zhou. If I have caused any inconvenience, I hope you will forgive me."
In the ice city, after Nie Yushuang waited for Zhou Yang to come back, she immediately told him the reason why she asked him to come back. At the end, she even apologized to him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Master Nie is too polite. Since it is such an important matter, why bother about it? Zhou will just go with the master to see the witch."
"Fellow Taoist, please come with Nie that week."
Nie Yushuang nodded and led Zhou Yang to the underground ice prison where the witch was imprisoned.
This ice prison was built deep underground in the ice city, and its protection level is the highest in the entire ice city. It can be said that it was specially built to imprison the witch Huan Qianqian.
Zhou Yang followed Nie Yushuang to the ice prison and saw that the witch Huan Qianqian was locked on an icicle. The skin and flesh all over her body seemed to have been sliced by blades. There were dense wounds all over her body.
A layer of white frost is spread evenly in each wound, preventing the wound from healing.
It is also the monks in the Nascent Soul stage whose physical body has become otherworldly, and their vitality has reached the inhuman level, so they can continue to hold their breath.
When seeing Zhou Yang and Nie Yushuang come in, Huan Qianqian, who had her head lowered and her eyes closed, immediately raised her head and looked at the two of them with an ugly face that was also full of wounds. Her eyes were neither sad nor happy, but rather very...
calm.
"Devil, Daoist friend Nie of Zhou has been invited. Now you can confess."
Nie Yushuang looked at the witch and saw that she showed no sign of speaking first, so she could only speak out her intention first.
I never thought that when Huan Qianqian heard what he said, she smiled sweetly and said: "Gee, fellow Taoist Nie, why are you so anxious? If you are really sincere, you might as well put away the power left in my wound first, so that I can
Once you feel comfortable, you might be able to recruit someone!"
It's okay that she didn't smile. When she smiled, the pieces of flesh on her face that were broken into pieces but still connected to the bones shook in layers, which was extremely scary to see.
Even a person like Zhou Yang, who was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
Only Nie Yushuang stared at her without changing her expression and said coldly: "You can feel comfortable if you want, but if you don't confess honestly today, I see that there is no need for your physical body to exist, so let me
I’ll take it and feed it to the wolves!”
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and all the ice covering the wounds on the witch's body turned into ice water and flowed out.
The extremely cold ice water flowed through layers, and the pain caused the wounds on the witch's body to tremble piece by piece, but she did not even hum. Zhou Yang really admired her will.
After all the ice water drained away, the self-healing effect of the witch's body immediately took effect. The wounds began to slowly heal and scab, and the bone marrow's hematopoietic function took effect a hundred times, and new blood was quickly produced to fill these parts.
Nie Yushuang, however, had no time to wait for the witch's body to fully recover. She suddenly looked impatient and urged in a cold voice: "Okay, I have fulfilled your request. Now it's time to confess honestly."
The witch has suffered a lot at his hands these days. She knows that he is not a very patient person, but she is also afraid that he will inflict a new set of torture on her.
After hearing this, he did not play any more tricks, and immediately looked directly at Zhou Yang and asked: "Fellow Taoist Zhou, have you checked the contents of my storage ring? The secret skills in those jade slips,
You must have browsed it too, right?"
Zhou Yang frowned and didn't understand what she meant by this, so he simply said coldly: "Zhou is too lazy to play guessing games with you. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to play charades with Zhou."
"It's very simple. Since you are unwilling to let me go, and I don't want to die here, and I don't want to be suppressed by you for the rest of my life, then let's each take a step back. I can tell you all the news I know, and
The conditions for accepting the detention and instigation of Zhou Daoyou's "Soul Seizing Method" are that Zhou Daoyou must swear by Taoism and not kill the donkey afterwards, harm my life or suppress me!"
Huan Qianqian's eyes flashed with strange color, she looked at Zhou Yang with a smile and told her her plan.
After Zhou Yang heard what she said, his expression suddenly changed.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, may I ask what the "Soul Seizing Technique" is?"
Nie Yushuang looked at Zhou Yang, whose expression changed slightly, and moved her lips slightly, but she directly asked about this matter via voice transmission.
Zhou Yang knew that it would be impossible to keep this matter from Nie Yushuang, and even if he didn't tell it, the witch Huan Qianqian might not hide it.
So he could only tell the other party about the functions, advantages and disadvantages of the "Soul Seizing Technique".
And now that he has said this, he simply looked at the witch Huan Qianqian and said: "Zhou doesn't like to raise demon cultivators. Since you are willing to accept the detention of the "Soul Seizing Technique", then Zhou will tell you this secret method.
Now that Dao Nie is friendly, it will be up to Friend Dao Nie to cast a spell on you."
When he said this, Zhou Yang naturally selectively forgot about his previous experience of raising ghost cultivators.
In short, he was not willing to keep a female devil like Huan Qianqian, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, by his side, lest she would one day become a tiger and suffer its backlash.
After all, the "Soul Seizing Technique" was obtained from him, so there is no guarantee that it will not have any secret method to release the control effect.
The magic power was so weird that Zhou Yang had to guard against it.
When Nie Yushuang heard what he said, she was both surprised and moved, but because of her face, she couldn't agree immediately.
But what neither of them expected was that after Huan Qianqian heard Zhou Yang's words, she shook her head and said, "That won't work. Fellow Daoist Nie has no way to make progress, and his lifespan is less than three hundred. The Tao Heart Oath has nothing to do with him.
There is no restraint, but I dare not risk my own life."
Nie Yushuang's face suddenly turned cold. She looked at the witch coldly, wishing she could give her the most severe torture to let her know the consequences of speaking like this about herself.
When Zhou Yang heard Huan Qianqian's words, he became even more convinced that she had an ulterior motive, and quickly continued: "Even if Fellow Daoist Nie is not good, you can change to another Fellow Daoist. As far as Zhou knows, Fellow Daoist Nie's junior fellow disciple Chen Daoyou
, His life span is less than 2,000 years old, and there is still a lot of opportunity for progress on the road."
"What Fellow Daoist Zhou said is the same, but Fellow Daoist Chen's cultivation level is the same as that of my concubine. Even if I am willing to cooperate with him to perform the "Soul Seizing Technique", I'm afraid he may not dare to control me. After all, my divine consciousness is
He is much stronger than him, so if you want to backfire on him, you still have a great chance!"
When Huan Qianqian finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at Nie Yushuang with a half-smiling look.
Sure enough, Nie Yushuang's originally ugly face turned even more ugly after hearing her words, and she didn't respond at all to Zhou Yang's words.
Zhou Yang's face looked as ugly as if he had stepped on dog poop, so he simply said: "I'm sorry, Zhou doesn't want to raise a tiger to cause trouble."
Although he also wanted to know the conspiracy of those demon cultivators, he was not noble enough to tie a time bomb on himself for this purpose.
If he really agreed to the request of the witch Huan Qianqian, he might not be able to sleep peacefully in the future, and he would have to beware of the witch coming back to bite him at all times.
But the witch Huan Qianqian recognized him, looked at him with a smile on her face and said: "Young Daoist Zhou are not confident in yourself, but you can severely damage my soul with just your spiritual attack.
It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou’s spiritual consciousness is no longer inferior to Fellow Daoist Nie!”
"So what? Although Zhou is not afraid of what you are up to, there is no reason for you to cause trouble for yourself and add trouble to yourself for nothing."
Zhou Yang looked coldly at the smiling witch, but the words in his mouth were expressing his stance to Nie Yushuang.
He is not Nie Yushuang's subordinate. As long as he does not agree, no one can force him to order anything.
Nie Yushuang really understood what he said, and her brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.
Seeing this, the witch Huan Qianqian couldn't help but smile sweetly and said: "Giggle, I can't control that much. The conditions have been laid out. You can do it yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If
You have been delaying for too long, and by the time something happens, it will be too late to regret it!"
"Humph, you are just pretending to be a fool. Zhou thinks you are just playing tricks on us. You don't really want to confess!"
Zhou Yang snorted coldly, looked at the witch with sharp words and scolded her, and with a wave of his hand, a golden true fire flew towards the witch.
Nie Yushuang's expression changed when she saw this scene, but in the end she did not stop him from torturing the witch.
Under the burning of the golden real fire, the smile on the witch's face suddenly disappeared.
Although he suppressed the slightest cry from his mouth, the wounds on his body that had not yet fully healed suddenly rolled over and festered.
After scorching most of the witch's skin and blackening, Zhou Yang put away the real fire and said in a cold voice: "Zhou advises you not to play tricks and tell the truth about everything you know, otherwise you will be executed in public in the future.
By that time, the pain must have been several times greater than it is now!”
"Even if you kill me now, my conditions will not change at all. If you don't believe me, just do it!"
Huan Qianqian raised her charred face and looked at him, her eyes full of sneer, unwilling to give in even half a step.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Nie Yushuang looked at Zhou Yang, shouted, and then waved her hand, blocking the sight and hearing of the witch Huan Qianqian from the two of them.
"Nie also understands Fellow Daoist Zhou's concerns, but if we can subdue this witch for our use, it will indeed be of great help to us in eliminating the demons. I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou can put the overall situation first and take care of her!"
"Of course Nie knows that he has no right to instruct Fellow Daoist Zhou. Nie asked Fellow Daoist Zhou to agree to the conditions of the witch and let Fellow Daoist do such a risky thing. Naturally, Nie would not talk empty talk and talk about righteousness, so he would naturally do something to Fellow Daoist
Pay compensation!”
"Fellow Taoist, don't be too busy to refuse. Please read what is recorded in this jade slip first. As long as you agree, Nie can make the decision and let you choose one of them as compensation!"
Facing Zhou Yang's questioning gaze, Nie Yushuang didn't say anything false. She looked at him with a sincere face and expressed her opinion directly, and handed a jade slip into his hand.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang's face changed again and again. After looking at Nie Yushuang's sincere eyes for a while, he silently released his consciousness and looked at the information in the jade slip in his hand.
This jade slip contains information about twenty or thirty kinds of treasures, each of which is a treasure that even a Nascent Soul Stage monk would be moved by after seeing it.
Among them are ready-made sixth-level magic weapons, ten-thousand-year elixirs that can be used to refine sixth-level elixirs, some rare weapon-refining materials, and even the sixth-level demon king’s demon elixirs and top-grade spiritual stones!
Zhou Yang looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes couldn't help but fall on one of the familiar treasures.
[Ice Tears], a rare treasure from heaven and earth that can assist Golden Core monks to overcome the "Heart Demon Tribulation". Zhou Yang relied on the help of this treasure to successfully overcome the "Heart Demon Tribulation" and form a Nascent Soul.
He also didn't expect that he would see a second [Ice Tears] in his lifetime and have a chance to get it.
As someone who has personally used this treasure, he understands its function better than anyone else.
Therefore, after seeing the name of this treasure, he decided to agree to Nie Yushuang's request.
If he uses the "Soul Seizing Technique" on the witch Huan Qianqian, he may suffer the backlash from the witch, but Zhou Yang is confident that even if he can find a secret method to escape from control, it will not be able to truly backlash his soul.
No matter how smart Huan Qianqian is, he would never have thought that he would have a mysterious treasure that could protect and nourish the soul.
At most, he would accept this witch as his servant, and when the demon disaster in Beitingzhou's Immortal Realm is cleared away, he would imprison her in [Donglai Immortal Island] and not give her a chance to come out to harm others.
After making a decision in his heart, he immediately returned the jade slip to Nie Yushuang, and then said in a deep voice: "Since Master Nie has gone to this step, Zhou is not a ungrateful person. Zhou can agree to Master Nie's request.
I only hope that the real person can give the [Ice Tears] to Zhou so that my wife can attack the Nascent Soul with peace of mind in the future!"
When Nie Yushuang heard what he said, her heart finally dropped, and she quickly bowed her hands to him and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou understands the righteousness, and Nie is grateful. Your wife has been saving lives and healing the wounded in the city these days, and Nie has heard about it a lot.
[Ice Tears] If it can help your lady to form a Nascent Soul, then it will be a good use!"
Having said this, Nie Yushuang actually felt very sad in her heart.
Many of the treasures in the jade slips he provided were not owned by the Xuanming Immortal Sect, but were taken out from the treasures of their respective sects by various sects in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World in order to eliminate the evil disaster.
Unfortunately, that [Ice Tears Flower] belongs to their Xuanming Immortal Sect.
