There was a wailing in the prison. Just by hearing the sound, I thought I was in purgatory on earth. But when I opened my eyes, I found that it was full of greenery and even the air was exceptionally fresh.
With the immortal's body as the soil for growth, and the careful care of Li Xiuchang, the Spirit Plant master, these plants grew exceptionally lush.
Liang Daocheng Looking carefully at the miserable state of those shadows, his face turned pale.
Li Xiuchang This interrogation method is less friendly to people who are at the back of the queue.
The people in front have explained everything that needs to be explained, and the people behind have to supplement it and provide valuable information so that their punishment can be lighter.
So the luckiest one was actually Duanmu Huai, the first person to be interrogated. He was the one who suffered the least among all the shadows. He had countless small wounds on his body, and grass seeds were sprinkled in each wound, causing a layer of turf to grow on his body.
The shadows at the back were each more exaggerated than the last. Some had bushes growing on their bodies, some were covered with vines, and many had several trees growing directly on their bodies.
Liang Daocheng I even saw some with mushrooms growing on their bodies.
Some of these plants took root in the wounds on Shadow's body, while others grew out of the body's orifices.
Li Xiuchang force-fed them to swallow the seeds, and then germinated the seeds in their bellies...
The shadows at the back were the most unlucky. The people in front had handed over all the information. They racked their brains but couldn't come up with any useful information. They could only be tortured repeatedly. Each of them carried a green belt.
Liang Daocheng took a deep breath and once again doubted Li Xiuchang's identity.
Is this really my Immortal Dust Sect born and raised disciple?
Didn't you go to the Demon Sect for further study?
He thought of Mo Tu and Last Demonic Lord, and suspected that Li Xiuchang must have learned these methods from Mo Tu.
Mo Tu If he finds out, he will definitely cry out for injustice. Their demon sect doesn't have such means!
Li Xiuchang didn't think there was anything wrong. He felt that his interrogation method was very good, green and environmentally friendly.
He turned around and saw Liang Daocheng walking in, so he picked a red fruit from the fruit tree next to him and handed it over:
"Sect Master, eat the fruit."
Liang Daocheng glanced at the shadow pierced into a honeycomb by the roots of the fruit tree, his face darkened, and he shook his head. "I won't eat it."
Li Xiuchang just threw away the fruit in his hand and he didn't eat it.
He went straight to the point and said, "Sect Master, the situation is not optimistic."
Liang Daocheng opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk after we go out."
In this prison, he could not communicate with anyone normally.
Li Xiuchang feels that the scenery in this prison is pleasant and suitable for chatting. However, the sect leader said that if you want to go out, then go out. He said again before leaving:
"I have donated all the Spirit Plant in this prison to the sect, and I can do whatever the sect does with it."
I thank you on behalf of the sect...Liang Daocheng The corners of his mouth twitched. He knew that the efficacy of these Spirit Plant medicines would not be affected, but it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable in his heart. He thought for a while and said:
"Let's call some Tier 1 Talisman Master to come over and take care of it later."
When the two came outside the prison, Liang Daocheng let out a sigh of relief, and the three Grand Elder, Chu Ya and others gathered around them.
A Grand Elder said, "The information asked this time is of great importance. Should a high-level meeting be held immediately?"
This time Li Xiuchang asked for a lot of information, but generally speaking, it was all bad news. The only good news was probably that Preaching Ranking Key was living in Shadow World, and the chance of being brought back was low. Immortal Dust Sect didn't have to worry about the death of the company.
Liang Daocheng said, "Call all Grand Elder to a meeting, the elders will not come."
When it comes to the matter of Shadow World, those elders who have not yet become immortals are actually unable to contribute much and cannot get involved.
However, there are exceptions. Liang Daocheng looked at Li Xiuchang: "Xiuchang, please come with us."
Li Xiuchang is not an ordinary elder, and the interrogation just now has proven his ability.
And he is very likely to be promoted to Grand Elder in a short time.
When Chu Ya and others saw this, they knew that they could not participate in what happened next, so they decided to resign.
But Li Xiuchang stopped them and said to Liang Daocheng, "Sect Master, didn't you always ask me what kind of work I want to be responsible for? I think the interrogation work will be left to me in the future. Our sect can set up a 'Ministry of Punishment', led by me."
Liang Daocheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "The sect already has Law Enforcement Hall, wouldn't having more Ministry of Punishment be a duplication?"
What he wants to say is that Immortal Dust Sect has not had a "Ministry of Punishment" for so many years, which means there is no need for it at all. If a Ministry of Punishment is specially set up to be responsible only for interrogation work, will it be too free and have nothing to do?
Liang Daocheng still hopes to train Li Xiuchang more so that he can become the leader of the sect in the future.
Maybe in the future, his position as the sect leader will be inherited by Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang said, "Ministry of Punishment and Law Enforcement Hall are not the same thing. Law Enforcement Hall is for the inside of the sect and punishes those members who violate the sect rules, while Ministry of Punishment is for external enemies and uses punishment to obtain useful information from the enemy.
"In the past, I, Immortal Dust Sect, had no external enemies, and of course there was no need for Ministry of Punishment to exist. But things are different now. In the future, we will have to fight the shadows for a long time. We will definitely catch more shadows in the future, and interrogation work will become routine."
Liang Daocheng If you think about it carefully, this is the truth.
There may be times when shadows are interrogated in the future, so you can't always pull Li Xiuchang over to help, right?
It is better to set up a Ministry of Punishment according to Li Xiuchang's wishes and let him be fully responsible for this matter.
Li Xiuchang came up with this idea because he knew that as an elder with real power, he must take care of things. Instead of taking care of those tedious things, he would rather take the initiative to take charge of the interrogation work.
No matter how busy the interrogation work is, it won't be too busy. Even if more shadows are arrested later, how much new information can be expected to be revealed?
And as the boss of a department, he must have people under him!
Once the younger brother is taught the lesson, there will be no need for him to take action himself.
This is why he called Chu Ya and the others. This ready-made candidate cannot be missed!
Liang Daocheng thought for a few moments, and he was absolutely assured of Li Xiuchang's interrogation ability, so he nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with other Grand Elder during the meeting later."
Li Xiuchang knew that the matter was basically stable, so he said to Chu Ya and others, "If Ministry of Punishment is established, we still need to recruit people. I wonder if any of our senior brothers are interested in joining?"
Pang Yuanfu hesitated for maybe a second and then agreed.
Although he would instinctively resist those scenes just now when he thinks about it, but this is a good opportunity for him to become famous!
Li Xiuchang As a newly promoted elder, there is no one available under him. If you join him as soon as possible, he will be your confidant in the future.
Moreover, when Ministry of Punishment was first established, he was one of the earliest members to join. His qualifications alone would ensure that he could become a senior member of Ministry of Punishment in the future.
Looking at all Immortal Dust Sect departments, those who can reach the top are all elder-level figures who hold real power.
Of course, the above are all secondary. What Pang Yuanfu really likes is Li Xiuchang. Even a blind man can see the potential of Li Xiuchang. If he follows Li Xiuchang, why worry about the future being rough?
Song Yu thought for a while and agreed to join.
He doesn't have as many ideas as Pang Yuanfu. Song Yu is the kind of traditional inner disciple who has no distractions and pursues the avenue wholeheartedly. He just feels that he has been practicing hard and lacks experience. It would be good to take up a position in Ministry of Punishment to train himself.
And recalling the scene where Li Xiuchang interrogated the shadow just now, Song Yu felt that it could temper his Daoist heart.
When he can face such a scene without changing his expression, and even remain calm in his heart, then his Daoist heart will naturally rise to a higher level.
Chu Ya thought carefully for a moment. His background and qualifications determined that his future path to immortality would be smooth, not to mention that there was now Ye Yuqiu, dao companion, so he did not need to consider what benefits joining Ministry of Punishment would have for him.
There was only one thing he was thinking about, was he interested?
But seeing that Pang Yuanfu and Song Yu had joined, he finally made a decision. "Then count me as the only one."
"Good! "Li Xiuchang smiled happily, Ministry of Punishment has not yet been established, but he has already gained three generals.
The meeting that brought together Immortal Dust Sect and all Grand Elder soon began.
All six Grand Elders of Eastern Geng District also attended.
Li Xiuchang, as the only elder attending the meeting, also received frequent attention.
At the meeting, Liang Daocheng circulated the information obtained from Li Xiuchang's interrogation to everyone.
The faces of all Grand Elders suddenly became solemn.
"As expected, these shadows were hidden before. "Zhang Wanzhi put down Jade Slip with an unusually serious look on his face.
They interrogated the few shadows before, and although the shadows finally spoke, they said what they asked, and those who didn't ask would never take the initiative to say anything.
They have not explained how big Shadow World is before.
Li Xiuchang They always thought that Shadow World was as big as Immortal Shade Realm, and thought that Shadow World was the projection of the Immortal Shade Realm.
But in fact, the area of Shadow World is hundreds of times larger than Immortal Shade Realm!
Chen Changsheng said, "It seems that Shadow World corresponds not to the Immortal Shade Realm, but to the former great world of cultivating immortals!"
Most of the Grand Elder present looked at a loss, not knowing that hundreds of worlds today were formed after one big world was shattered.
This can be regarded as a secret, and only some old antiques know it. Li Xiuchang and the others learned it from Tianxiang.
Chen Changsheng popularized this long history for everyone. Grand Elder thought for a moment and expressed their understanding one after another.
"Can we understand it this way? Shadow World projects the Immortal Shade Realm of the past. The Immortal Shade Realm at that time was not broken yet and was far wider than it is now."
"Yes, and the Sky-Piercing Immortal Tree that existed in the Immortal Shade Realm also appeared in Shadow World, which means that the Sky-Piercing Immortal Tree tree in the past was also projected."
Zhang Wanzhi shook his head and said, "This can explain some things, but the people in the two worlds are synchronized. The main body and the shadow Cultivation Level are synchronized. Once the main body dies, the shadow will die immediately."
Everyone pondered and couldn't find a very reasonable explanation.
It makes no sense to project the former Immortal Shade Realm, but the current Immortal Shade Realm people are projected to the past.
Are dead and living things treated differently?
Li Xiuchang reminded, "Not only the people who projected Immortal Shade Realm, but also the powerful people from other worlds, including those who have ascended."
Everyone in the entire universe, no matter what level of world they are in, can find their shadow in Shadow World.
And there is no such thing as ascension in Shadow World, everyone is in the same world.
This also makes Shadow World extremely powerful!
After all, it is a gathering of powerful people from all over the world.
This also made everyone present feel unprecedented pressure.
How can they use the power of one realm to fight against Shadow World, which brings together the strongest men from all over the world?
Even the power of the Immortal Shade Realm is incomplete, because there are a large number of strong people who have ascended to the Upper Realm and cannot come back.
Liang Daocheng Seeing that everyone was silent and the atmosphere was a bit dull, he had to speak to ease the atmosphere and said:
"Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Although the strength gap between the enemy and us is too large, in fact, no matter how strong they are, their inability to come to the Immortal Shade Realm will have no impact on us.
"To put it simply, if we just want to defend, then we can completely ignore this strength gap, but if we want to take the initiative to attack, it will be more difficult than we first thought."
Everyone nodded, it was indeed true.
Shadow World No matter how strong there are, they can't get through Immortal Shade Realm.
Because the bodies of those shadows are in other worlds, as long as their bodies do not come to the Immortal Shade Realm or enter Immortal Shadow, then those shadows will never have the chance to leave Shadow World.
Looking back at the past countless years, every shadow that comes to the Immortal Shade Realm is basically a native of the Immortal Shade Realm.
If it's just defense, it's actually very simple. Block the Immortal Shadow to prevent others from entering, and then slowly clean up the remaining shadows.
But if you want to counterattack and enter Shadow World to rescue those trapped in Shadow World, then it will be hell difficulty!
If you're being sensible, maybe you should give up rescuing people and focus on defense.
It's just that Xian Yin is still gradually expanding, and when the time comes, it can only abandon the entire Immortal Shade Realm and move to other worlds.
But if people could do everything rationally, they would not be like humans.
There are always people who are unwilling to give up and admit defeat.
Chen Changsheng said, "At present, we should really focus on defense. After the situation is stabilized, we can slowly plan to attack."
In the final analysis, we still have to attack and take the initiative!
Some nodded, some remained silent.
Those who remained silent did not disagree with the attack, they also wanted to rescue those fellow disciples who had been replaced.
They just lack confidence.
Liang Daocheng said, "I will discuss with the other three major immortal sects, gather the strength of the four of us, and then mobilize Immortal Shade Realm other large and small forces, and we will work together to fight against the shadow. If you have any other good ideas, please tell me."
Someone said, "Even if we all become one, Immortal Shade Realm, we still can't narrow the gap in strength. The shadows themselves are very united."
Someone echoed, "Yes, the alliance between us is just to gather the existing strength. The key is how to strengthen our strength?" "
Li Xiuchang, who had been listening in, had an idea in his heart, and said, "What if we could find a way to invite back those seniors who had ascended Upper Realm?"
They have had successful cases before. During the Dark Heaven Realm war, several senior brothers ascended and then returned to the lower realm through the formation.
