"Did he irritate you?"
Jiang Xia frowned as he looked at the old monster in blood-stained clothes lying on the ground in front of him. Most of his bones were broken, his hands looked like they were bitten off by wild beasts, and his body was covered with lacerations.
He turned to Shan Qiuming who was folding his arms beside him and asked.
Lao Shan shrugged and indicated no.
"Then why did you hit me so hard?"
Lao Jiang asked back:
"You beat him like this, he's barely alive, how can I ask you questions?"
"Just ask. You still have a mouth to open."
Shan Qiu Ming kicked the old man in blood-stained clothes on the wound on his broken arm. His spiritual power penetrated his soul through his toes like a needle, causing the unconscious old evil cultivator to cry out in pain.
The fat man and Shi Rui behind Jiang Xia were startled.
Seeing how miserable this man was, they were afraid that he would not live long, but they did not expect that this evil cultivator's screams were so full of energy.
"Don't think that I fought miserably. I was actually avoiding Lingshu's vital points."
Shan Qiuming stepped on the struggling evil cultivator and continued to stimulate his soul with his spiritual power. At the same time, he explained to this group of ignorant low-level cultivators:
“Moreover, this evil cultivator practices blood skills. I don’t know which series it is, but as long as it is evil skill related to blood, it generally has the effect of protecting life.
Don't look at him like this now.
Just let it out and suck a few sips of blood, and it will be back to normal."
" How many?"
Lao Jiang expressed great doubts about this.
He stroked his chin, squatted down, and looked at the old face in front of him that was covered in blood and had a look of pleading and fear in his expression of fear.
He said to Lao Shan:
"Don't take advantage of my lack of experience. Before coming to the Southern Wilds, I specifically looked for intelligence on evil cultivators. Blood-based evil skills do have miraculous healing effects.
But after being injured to this extent, if you want to recover, you probably can’t do it without draining all the life in the town.”
"Snap"
Lao Jiang pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, then took a deep breath comfortably and blew the smoke at the old man in blood-stained clothes in front of him, after staring at each other for a few seconds.
He asked:
“Why are you hurting my employees?”
"ah?"
The old monster in blood-stained clothes had been beaten so violently by Shan Qiu Ming that he was barely alive. When he saw that Shan Qiu Ming did not kill him, he knew that this strange body cultivator must have a background.
I pretended to be unconscious just now because I was thinking about how to stay alive.
All evil cultivators have sinister hearts and minds. Face and dignity are not important to them. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their rule of conduct. He originally wanted to tell Shan Qiumin everything he knew when he saw the great cultivator behind him.
Shamelessly trying to beg for a living in this way.
But even though he was mentally prepared to stab his old boss in the back, he would still have to wait until he saw Jiang Xia, a mere Qi training cultivator, questioning him in a bossy manner.
This made the old monster in blood-stained clothes unable to react for a while.
I haven't traveled for a few years, so why are the things I encountered tonight so strange?
How could a proud body cultivator like Rushan Qiuming be willing to submit to a minor Qi cultivator?
Could this person in front of me be a direct disciple of some big sect?
Or maybe he accidentally offended some mysterious young master from an ancient aristocratic family?
"Ah what?"
Jiang Xia was extremely dissatisfied with the surprise and confusion on the face of the old cultivator in blood-stained clothes. He exhaled a puff of smoke, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed the old monster's chin. The next moment, a dazzling arc of electricity burst out from his fingertips.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The old evil cultivator, who was already seriously injured, began to sway wildly like a fish on a chopping board, and let out a long scream as he twitched.
High-voltage electric arcs surged into the body from the skin and rolled back and forth in the head, making an arc of light like a lit candle shine under the scarlet pupils of the old evil cultivator.
Such a small amount of high voltage electricity is definitely not enough to kill a cultivator in the realm of truth.
Lao Jiang just used this method to wake up the old man in front of him who was beaten stupidly by Shan Qiuming's iron fists.
"You've lived for so long, you must know the rules. Judging from your appearance, you're a very sensible person, so let's go through the process."
After a few seconds, Jiang Xia stopped firing, sat cross-legged on the ground, flicked the ash on the old man's messy hair, and asked:
"You, tell me everything you think I should know. I don't want to waste my time arguing with you, and you shouldn't cause yourself any more trouble.
After I’ve said this, just go away. I swear, neither Lao Shan nor I will ever do anything to you again.
Understand?"
The old man opened his mouth and blew out a puff of black smoke. He looked at Shan Qiuming, who was stepping on his wound and broken arm with an indifferent face, and nodded silently.
"Then tell me."
Lao Jiang put out the cigarette butt on the blood-stained old monster's forehead and pretended to be listening attentively.
The latter cooperated very well and immediately spoke in a hoarse and painful voice:
"I am... uh, I am a casual cultivator who has been practicing in Star Valley for many years. I have no relationship with that group of ghosts. I was just invited by them to protect the law."
"Bang"
With a gunshot, the spirit-attached bullet pierced the evil cultivator's ear, causing him to twitch in pain.
Jiang Xia was holding a silver Beretta and said coldly:
"You are very dishonest. The skills you use are from the same family as theirs. Do you think I am blind? Ah, I understand. I was probably too gentle just now.
It makes you feel lucky.
Okay.
This is my fault. It seems that you are a person who likes 'tradition', so use the traditional way of asking. "
Lao Jiang stood up and nodded at Shan Qiuming.
"beat!"
"good."
Lao Shan flexed his knuckles expressionlessly and asked:
"How far?"
"I just need a brain and a mouth to answer my questions."
Jiang Xia turned around and waved his hand, then walked slowly towards Ruyue and Helya. Lord Huaian also jumped out from underground, and it seemed that he had some news to tell Boss Jiang.
Behind him, the blood-stained old monster screamed like a frightened girl, and he shouted:
"Don't go! Wait, I bought this technique from them! I really have nothing to do with them! Just listen to me, I'll tell you everything!"
"puff"
The body cultivator kicked the blood-clothed old monster in the mouth, silencing all his pleas for mercy. Shan Qiu Ming bent down, grabbed the old evil cultivator's neck, turned around and grinned at the fat man and the third prince.
He said:
"Do you want to continue watching? Or come and help?"
"No, no, Brother Shan, please continue with your work. We won't disturb you."
Shi Rui waved his hands.
He indicated that they were busy, then pulled Qian Duo, who was shrinking his head, and went towards Jiangxia.
"how?"
Lao Jiang came over, leaned against the tree, looked at Huaian Gong, and asked.
The man from the East, with a long beard trailing on the ground, wearing a white robe and leaning on a jujube wood stick, would answer Lao Jiang with a hint of respect and joy, playing with his jade pipe:
"I have been wandering in the Star Valley these days and have gained something. The ghost group is hiding in a dark valley 400 miles away from here.
Su Zhuangshi and his group have set up eavesdropping points around the Yin Valley, but there are many evil arrays everywhere. Now that I have come to the Southern Wilderness, my magic power is weak and I am unable to find out the details.
But we already know that perhaps it was our great victory in Fengming Country that alarmed this group of evil cultivators. In the past few days, many outsiders have entered the valley, including not only human evil cultivators, but also monsters!
I even saw with my own eyes several ghost cultivators using the Yin Spirit Teleportation Technique to enter the valley."
Lord Huai'an leaned on the stick in his hand and said with emphasis:
"But the weird thing is that only the evil cultivators went in, but no one came out. I think that group of evil cultivators knew that Tao Fu Yuan was chasing them and there was no hope of escaping, so they decided to gather together and fight to the death."
"no."
Lao Jiang immediately shook his head.
He glanced at the little mist elf Yun Xiaoliu who was lying on Helya's shoulder and said:
"If it was a fight to the death, you wouldn't waste time and send someone else to the Great Jungle to catch the goblins. If they were able to get out without you noticing, there must be another secret exit."
"They caught quite a lot of monsters this time."
Kisaragi analyzed:
“According to the little mist elf, all the mist elves at Lingquan have been captured by them. Such a large-scale disappearance of elves cannot be concealed from Yandangchi.
The evil cultivators of the Ghost Cult must be preparing for a big move, which is why they are so desperate. They are able to make them ignore the threat of the spirits and take such a risky move. It is clear that what they are preparing must be shocking. "
"Maybe some kind of... uh, research?"
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, squinted his eyes and said:
“As Lord Huai’an said, the Fengming Kingdom’s affairs have attracted the attention of Taofu Academy. Once the Immortal Alliance focuses its energy on this evil cultivator, even if they hide in the Southern Wilderness, they will be nothing more than chickens and pottery dogs.
Now they are openly doing such things that offend the spirits, which shows that they know they don’t have much time left.
They are speeding up.
They hope to get what they want before the Immortal Alliance has time to crush them to death."
"That must be related to the soul."
The third prince, who was listening on the side, interrupted and said:
"Those hateful evil cultivators have been transporting innocent souls from my Fengming Nation to Xinggu for so many years. I don't know what evil deeds they are doing?"
"Perhaps this 'traditional' monk can tell us."
Jiang Xia raised his head and looked at Shan Qiu Ming who was dragging a bloody mess towards him. As he got closer, Gu Miao's face became paler and paler, and He Erya couldn't bear to look at it.
Even though this evil cultivator had tried to kill her before.
The little fat boy is even worse.
He just took a look at the disgusting thing, then covered his mouth and rushed away.
"Snap"
Shan Qiuming threw the thing at Jiang Xia's feet, clapped his hands, and said:
"Ask him. He just wants to die quickly. Once you've asked him, I'll kill him."
"Let him suffer the greatest pain, but still maintain his sanity."
Jiang Xia kicked the thing that was still squirming under his feet.
He said:
"Well, it seems that you body cultivators all have a talent for sadism. Each of you is a torture king."
“Thank you.”
Shan Qiuming waved his hand and said modestly:
“I am just a body cultivator at the True Realm, and I don’t know much about the mysteries of the flesh and blood body. This evil cultivator is at a low level and cannot withstand the torture of his soul.
If a great body cultivator came here, he could easily peel off every layer of his fascia without hurting his life, and he could also…"
"Okay, stop talking."
Jiang Xia made a pause gesture and said to Lao Shan:
"There's a child here, don't scare her and give her nightmares at night."
He squatted down and said to the "thing" in front of him:
"What on earth are the Ghost Cult doing in capturing souls and spirits?"
"Grow... grow demons..."
The evil cultivator, whose flesh and blood were blurred and no longer looked like a human, uttered a few words with difficulty.
"What?"
Lao Jiang frowned and asked:
"Tell me clearly, what kind of demon?"
"Planting evil thoughts, entering the soul... I, that's all I know, I... ah!"
Every word the evil cultivator uttered was agonizing, until he finally let out a miserable scream, as shrill as the roar of a ghost. Shan Qiuming immediately stepped forward and touched the flesh and blood with his hands.
The next moment, he raised his head and said:
"His soul was shattered. It was some kind of forbidden evil magic, similar to the Great Oath of the Heart Demon. It seems that he himself doesn't even know that he has been... Be careful, get out of the way!"
Lao Shan pushed Jiang Xia away, and the power of his palm exploded like a hammer, pushing everyone in front of him away.
The dead flesh suddenly became strangely active, like a flesh bomb about to explode. As Shan Qiuming roared with his spiritual power, it expanded rapidly...
"Bang"
With a loud bang, flesh and blood turned to ashes.
Dark smoke echoed in the ashes, engulfing everything around it.
"Pah, pah! What is this?"
"Boss, Qian Duo accidentally swallowed those disgusting ashes. I also...vomit."
“It stinks!”
"I...feel...somewhat...uncomfortable..."
