In a dark, narrow cave within a thousand-foot mountain.
Sang Yuan, covered in blood, leaned on a big rock and panted.
Blind and lame, he managed to fly more than two thousand miles, but his spiritual power was exhausted and he could no longer survive.
However, he finally escaped and was thankful that he had saved his life. He couldn't help showing an expression of relief.
He did not dare to waste time, so he quickly took out a few healing pills, drank them, and quickly treated all the wounds on his body.
Two quarters of an hour later, Sang Yuan's internal injuries were temporarily suppressed and the external injuries were properly treated, and then he showed a sinister sneer.
"Hehehe... So what about the Supreme Realm? His voice sounds very young, and his experience in the world is really shallow.
It's so stupid to be so merciful to the enemy!
Damn you little beast, I have recorded today’s grudge.
After breaking through the Wuji Palace in the future, I will definitely find you out.
I will repay you tenfold for the suffering you have suffered today!”
Sang Yuan cursed to himself, his expression and eyes were very hateful.
After finishing speaking, he took out another jade slip and said in a low tone: "Master Qi Palace, my subordinates were attacked by the mysterious supreme power in the eastern area of Endless Daze.
That strong man had both the strength of the Supreme Realm and the cultivation of the Sword Emperor Realm.
He hid his figure and aura and did not appear, but his voice should be that of a young man.
The subordinates have revealed the identity and plans of Hongye City according to the established plan.
That guy is so convinced that he must be searching for others now..."
Sang Yuan was interrupted before he finished speaking. A sword light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and chopped the jade slip into pieces.
"Crack!"
Immediately afterwards, Sang Yuan was enveloped by an invisible pressure, as if suppressed by a thousand-foot mountain.
“Bang bang bang!”
Several more spiritual lights appeared, hitting Sang Yuan's vital points and sealing him on the spot.
The sudden change made Sang Yuan full of horror, his face turned ashen, and his eyes showed a deep look of despair.
He instantly realized that the other party did not believe him and followed him all the way here.
"You...you actually followed me here? How could you have such deep intentions?"
Sang Yuan's face was full of horror and he shouted in disbelief.
Chu Tianchen asked in an indifferent tone: "Are you surprised?"
Of course Sang Yuan was unwilling to give in and asked: "Have I ever exposed any flaws? Why don't you believe what I say?"
Chu Tianchen sneered: "It's true that you want to survive, but you talk too much, for fear that I won't believe that you are the elder of Hongye City.
Moreover, you keep saying that you don’t want to betray Hongye City.
But after you confessed truthfully, you didn't feel any guilt or self-blame.
Therefore, you are not from Hongye City at all!"
Sang Yuan was struck by thunder, and then he realized that he was a little impatient and was performing too hard.
For a moment, he froze on the spot, speechless.
Chu Tianchen said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who are you?"
Sang Yuan knew that Chu Tianchen would never let him go, and he would definitely die today.
After a moment of silence, he chose to accept the reality and no longer had any hope or illusion of survival.
"Haha... no matter what I say now, you can't believe it anymore, can you?"
Chu Tianchen did not deny it, "I only believe in my own judgment."
Sang Yuan grinned and sneered: "In that case, what else is there to say? Give me a good time!"
Chu Tianchen said in a cold tone: "Death is already a luxury for you.
Give up your unrealistic fantasies and answer my questions obediently, and I can let you die peacefully."
Sang Yuan fell silent and secretly tried various suicide methods.
However, he couldn't move his body, couldn't use his spiritual power and consciousness, and couldn't even commit suicide.
As for biting one's tongue and committing suicide, that is a common way for mortals to commit suicide.
A strong emperor like him would not die even if his tongue|head was cut off.
Even if the person is beheaded and the body dies, the spirit still exists and there is still a chance to regroup the body.
Seeing that Sang Yuan was silent, Chu Tianchen began to use thirty-six kinds of capital punishment in turn, torturing Sang Yuan in various ways.
In the dark cave, spiritual lights kept flashing, and Sang Yuan's screams could be heard.
In fact, Chu Tianchen felt that Sang Yuan's screams were too harsh, so his mouth was sealed so that he could not make a sound.
As a result, even if Sang Yuan was in pain, he could not shout to vent, and his spirit soon collapsed.
He could not open his mouth to beg for mercy, but could only use his eyes to indicate that he had surrendered and was willing to confess.
Only then did Chu Tianchen unlock his seal, allowing him to speak his mind.
After Sang Yuan opened his mouth, his first reaction was to let out a series of miserable screams, just like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
After screaming for a while, Sang Yuan's mental state gradually stabilized.
He was hopeless, looking completely lost, and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I am not Sang Yuan, my name is Ji Yuncheng, and I am the fifth elder of Bailing Palace..."
Hongye City and Bailing Palace are mortal enemies. They have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but there is still no winner..."
"Sure enough, it's Bailing Palace!" Chu Tianchen was not surprised by this answer.
Even before, when Sang Yuan said that he was from Hongye City, Chu Tianchen had doubted Bailing Palace.
Just now, when Sang Yuan sent the message about the jade slip, he called the palace master and asked him to confirm his guess.
However, Chu Tianchen still didn't quite understand why Bailing Palace formed an alliance with the Zhan Family to deal with Wuji Palace?
"Ji Yuncheng, what is the relationship between Xu Bailing and the Zhan family?
She has a certain connection with Wuji Palace, so why would she join forces with the Zhan family to deal with Wuji Palace?"
Ji Yuncheng took a breath for a moment and then said in a weak voice: "The Palace Master and the Zhan family have known each other for many years. On the surface, they don't have much interaction, but secretly they have helped each other for many years.
Moreover, the Zhan family’s goal in this operation is to destroy Wuji Palace, and the palace owner also has her own goals.”
"What goal?" Chu Tianchen asked quickly.
Ji Yuncheng said softly: "I don't know either."
Chu Tianchen wants to use torture again.
Ji Yuncheng said feebly: "I have run out of gas and my lamp is dry. I will definitely die today. Do I still need to lie to you?"
Seeing that he had indeed given up and no longer had the desire to survive, Chu Tianchen asked a few more indirect questions.
Ji Yuncheng answered some questions intermittently and then passed out.
Chu Tianchen stopped torturing him and released a divine soul power that shattered his soul.
In this way, Ji Yuncheng died in a coma and passed away peacefully.
Chu Tianchen waved his palm and fired out a burst of spiritual fire, burning Ji Yuncheng's body to ashes.
After picking up Ji Yuncheng's Najie, he began to search Ji Yuncheng's Najie.
There are massive cultivation resources stored in the Najie, including mountains of elixirs, spiritual stones, gold crystals, weapons and equipment, as well as various rare treasures.
But Chu Tianchen didn't care about this, and found Ji Yuncheng's identity token and some jade slips from a pile of miscellaneous items.
The contents of the summons jade slips are enough to prove that Ji Yuncheng is the elder of Bailing Palace.
Moreover, at the beginning of the operation, Bailing Palace tattooed the red leaf logo on the left shoulders of all its disciples, pretending to be disciples of Hongye City.
After confirming this, Chu Tianchen took out the message slip and sent the message to both the Great Elder and Feng Ningsu.
He explained the plans and personnel arrangements of the Zhan family and Bailing Palace.
As for the fact that the head of the Zhan family, Taishang Elder, Xu Bailing and others were missing, he reminded Feng Ningsu emphatically.
He believed that with the wisdom of Feng Ningsu and Feng Qingfang, they should be able to guess the clues and take precautions in advance.
After sending out the jade slip, Chu Tianchen returned the same way and rushed to the eastern edge of the Endless Daze to continue searching for the enemy.
The head of the Zhan family, Xu Bailing and others are almost all strong men in the Holy Lord realm, and they are not something he can deal with.
However, he has the confidence to kill enemies below the Holy Lord realm one by one.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to eliminate the enemies lurking in the eastern area of the Endless River.
…
At the same time, in Wuji Palace.
Feng Ningsu was sitting in the study, with several jade slips of communication in front of her, her face a little solemn.
Within an hour before, the four elders had sent her subpoenas to report on the current situation.
Only one elder met someone from the Zhan family, and a fight broke out. The winner has not yet been determined.
The other three elders did not find any enemies and continued to search.
Just now, she received a message slip from Chu Tianchen, which made her immediately realize the seriousness of the matter.
Therefore, she did not reply to Chu Tianchen immediately, but called Feng Qingfang using the secret method of sound transmission.
"Squeak..."
Soon, the study door was pushed open, and Feng Qingfang quickly entered the study and asked anxiously: "Ningsu, what happened?"
Feng Ningsu stood up quickly, asked Feng Qingfang to sit down, and reported in a low tone: "Chu Tianchen killed two groups of enemies in the eastern area of Endless Daze, and made a major discovery.
The first wave of people are from the Zhan family, while the second wave of people pretend to be disciples of Hongye City, but are actually disciples of Bailing Palace!"
When she suddenly heard the news, Feng Qingfang was stunned and showed an expression of disbelief.
"Bailing Palace? The Zhan family's accomplice turned out to be Xu Bailing?
That fox... bitch actually colluded with the Zhan family to deal with our Wuji Palace?"
Feng Qingfang obviously couldn't accept the news.
In her opinion, even if Xu Bailing interferes in her relationship with Li Xianyun, he at least still recognizes her as her senior sister.
In the past few decades, Xu Bailing has not done anything that truly crossed the line or gone too far.
What's more, everyone will get together at Fengqi Mountain every ten years.
Feng Qingfang has always disliked him and hated Xu Bailing.
But she never expected that Xu Bailing could be so insidious and despicable!
"Ningsu, the news came from Chu Tianchen?
Has he investigated clearly? Is there a mistake?"
Feng Qingfang frowned and asked in a complicated tone.
Feng Ningsu nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Mother, Chu Tianchen is by no means a reckless and impulsive person, you should be able to see his thoughts and city.
I believe that he will report this matter to me only after investigation and with definite evidence."
Seeing Feng Qingfang's silence, Feng Ningsu continued: "Besides, I also believe that Xu Bailing would do such a thing.
As the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. If she hadn't been sowing discord and deliberately creating misunderstandings, you and your father wouldn't be in this situation today."
