Chapter 211: I'll Interrogate the Prisoners Personally!
Chapter 211: I’ll Interrogate the Prisoners Personally!
The sky was clear and bright, not a cloud in sight.
Or rather, there should have been clouds—but a moment ago, they’d been swept away by a single sword strike, revealing the vast, boundless heavens.
Yet no one noticed.
Compared to the azure sky, all eyes were fixed on the blade of Lv Yang’s Avici Sword, its cold light piercing to the bone.
As Lv Yang’s gaze swept the battlefield, the crowd instinctively held their breath. Time seemed to freeze. Even the Treasure-Child, who had been seething with rage and longing for revenge moments ago, now wore a stunned, panicked expression.
Lv Yang said nothing.
The silence hung heavy.
Then—
“Hua hua!”
The sound of rain broke the stillness. Each droplet was the remnants of Dragon-Hooking Elder’s shattered body, dissolving into the spiritual qi of the world.
The tide of spiritual energy surged, as if the heavens and earth themselves were cheering the young man in black robes, his sword in hand. Before him, the other True Men paled in comparison.
“Shua!”
A streak of light flashed across the sky, radiating five-colored splendor—the Five Elements True Man. Without glancing back, he vanished from the battlefield.
Only now did the others understand why he’d dared to act as rearguard. He’d been holding a talisman specifically for escape. Yet under Lv Yang’s gaze, he’d fled without even engaging, activating the talisman in sheer terror.
“What’s the point of fighting now?!”
The Five Elements True Man knew his own limits. If he’d been in Dragon-Hooking Elder’s place, at best he’d have left a soul fragment behind.
“Foundation Building Mid-Stage perfection, top-tier Spirit Treasures, a Divine Ability that suppresses others’ powers, and a Life-Bound Divine Ability tied to the Demonic Sect’s Heart-Mind Arts? Unbelievable! Who let this guy out of the Holy Sect? Is he some True Monarch’s heir sent to Qing Kingdom to polish his résumé?!”
“Damn it all!”
Muttering curses, he fled at full speed. His earlier vow to cover the retreat was long forgotten.
“I’m a Jiangdong cultivator under the Holy Sect—everybody knows I don’t keep promises!”
His escape triggered a chain reaction. In a blink, the once-united Treasure-Child and his allies scattered like frightened birds.
Everyone ran.
But Yinshan had been waiting at the perimeter. Beside him, Han Xiang and a third Foundation Building Mid-Stage woman—a valiant figure—blocked the retreat. Other Early Foundation Building Jiangdong True Men attacked eagerly, seeing an easy path to glory.
Meanwhile, Lv Yang exhaled slowly, regaining his strength.
He hadn’t been posing just for show. Killing Dragon-Hooking Elder had drained his spiritual energy entirely.
He’d had no choice but to stay silent, pretending to be a superior.
Truthfully, he’d braced himself to use the Hundredfold Barriers Cloak against their attacks. He hadn’t expected them to flee in sheer terror.
“Jiangdong rats,” Lv Yang muttered, shaking his head. The Avici Sword in his hand sang with excitement, its blade swirling with infinite sword light, revealing a Divine Essence within—
“Soul Reaper!”
Dragon-Hooking Elder’s death had strengthened the essence immensely. As the sword’s master, Lv Yang could already sense the change: the Elder’s Dao Foundation was Water-attribute, so from now on, the Avici Sword would gain an edge against all Water-attribute foes.
“Time to test the upgrade,” he mused, locking onto a fleeing cultivator. The person’s Dao Foundation was Water-attribute too—perfect.
Lv Yang raised the Avici Sword.
“A sword isn’t just for stabbing and slashing—it can channel techniques too. Using the Avici Sword as a medium should amplify my Dao Arts.”
A radiant light shimmered on the blade.
“Imperial Mountain-Moving Technique!”
His voice thundered like rolling thunder, audible to all.
The next instant, every fleeing cultivator felt an immense weight crush their bodies, as if mountains pressed down on them.
The Imperial Mountain-Moving Technique’s trait: hearing the incantation instantly burdened one with the weight of mountains, paralyzing the body.
The Cloud Lotus Fairy of the Cloudreach Sect suffered the most. For some reason, the technique felt especially oppressive to her.
Her Heaven-Union Cloud-Water Dao Foundation was Yin-soft, excelling at redirecting force and dispelling calamities. Yet against Lv Yang’s technique, it felt like soft silk against unyielding steel—utterly helpless.
Annoyed, she swept her Divine Consciousness toward Lv Yang—
—and saw him forming a hand seal.
The next moment, the Cloud Lotus Fairy’s face froze mid-terror. Her crimson lips parted, as if swallowing an egg whole.
The Imperial Mountain-Moving Technique’s second trait: seeing the hand seal instantly burdened the mind with a mountain’s weight, halting all thoughts.
Lv Yang pointed his sword.
The Cloud Lotus Fairy’s body turned grayish-brown. Mud oozed from her seven orifices, transforming her into a lifelike clay statue.
“Hong Long!”
The statue crashed down, anchoring itself to the earth. Countless stones gathered, fusing into a small mountain bound to the land’s veins.
All that remained was the Cloud Lotus Fairy’s stifled groan.
Seeing this, the other True Men fled faster, desperate not to be the next target.
Lv Yang sheathed the Avici Sword lightly, landing atop the newly formed hill.
Half an hour later, the slaughter ended. Yinshan returned first, dragging a disheveled middle-aged man—Xia Weiming, Patriarch of the Zhao Xia Clan. Wounded by Yinshan’s ambush earlier and marked with a tracking sigil, he’d had no escape.
Also captured was Chen Anze, a Foundation Building True Man of the Yuan Chen Clan.
“Where’s the rest?”
“That’s all. Three escaped,” Yinshan said, smirking. “Especially the Treasure-Child—I let him go on purpose.”
Lv Yang nodded. “That fool deserved it. Let him run home.”
After all, stupid enemies were assets. Killing him might only bring a smarter foe.
“What about the last two?”
“Five Elements True Man and a sword cultivator. The former used his escape talisman, and the latter was from the Supreme Sword Sect, backed by Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion. They both had life-saving treasures—we couldn’t catch them.” Yinshan grinned. “Still, today was a great victory!”
“Press the advantage?”
“No rush,” Lv Yang replied. “They came to us. If we chase, we’ll fight on their turf.”
He gestured to the prisoners. “Bring them all here—I’ll interrogate them myself.”
“Interrogate?” Yinshan blinked. “Among the prisoners are two men and one woman. The woman’s fine—I know the Heaven-Mending Peak has secret techniques for… extraction.”
“But the men?”
“Relax—I have my methods.”
Lv Yang waved him off, then carried the Cloud Lotus Fairy and the two Xian clan patriarchs back to Gai Zhu Mountain. In a grand hall, he set up the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner and summoned Chen Xin’an.
Lifting the Cloud Lotus Fairy, he said, “I’ll handle her personally.”
He pointed to the two patriarchs, cast the Celestial Mother Genesis Radiance, and handed them to Chen Xin’an.
“You’re welcome,” Chen Xin’an muttered.
