Azure Giant Sword

But Wen Jiu noticed that someone hadn't eaten.

In the few breaths of hesitation, the formation covering the ancient building suddenly unleashed dense golden light.

Although he didn't see clearly what it was, the next moment he heard the screams and falling bodies of three or four people.

It's unknown if they died.

Or if they fainted.

"Take them away, don't ask anything, I'll go and search their souls!" Si Kongbai's cold voice followed.

Soul searching!

When these two words were spoken, Wen Jiu's heart trembled.

As a Corpse Nurturer, how could he not know the fame of the soul searching technique, a notorious Unorthodox Path skill.

Extremely vicious.

And extremely brutal.

He didn't know its exact effect, but he knew that anyone subjected to it would lose all sanity and become a fool.

Better off dead than alive.

Hesitating for a moment would result in such treatment. It seemed the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak was extremely eager to know something.

This made Wen Jiu feel somewhat fortunate that he hadn't hesitated earlier.

Soon.

The interrogation began.

Under Si Kongbai's command and Mu Canglong's permission, twelve Night Patrol Division Managers began questioning all the Night Patrol Division disciples.

The questions were simple.

Two.

Do you have any disloyalty towards Flying Immortal Peak?

In the past year, have any people from Flying Immortal Peak, or people from outside Flying Immortal Peak, made you do anything outside your duties as a Night Patrol Division member?

Very clearly.

The suspects were not limited to Night Patrol Division disciples.

Just as Wen Jiu continued to feign ignorance, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded. Immediately after, Wen Jiu saw large amounts of shattered flesh and blood fly past his eyes, landing on his right cheek and side.

This caused a commotion among the managers.

"Don't panic, it's just a silencing Unorthodox Path technique!" Si Kongbai said in a deep voice, calming the managers.

Mu Canglong followed up with a cold remark, "By doing this, you'll only kill them. You won't get any useful information."

Si Kongbai said with a fake smile, "Fellow Daoist Mu, this is the Peak Master's arrangement, I can only follow orders. By the way, Fellow Daoist Mu, after this matter is settled, we will also have to go to the Flying Immortal Peak main hall to be interrogated. Fellow Daoist Mu, be careful if any of your subordinates are found to be..."

"What do you mean by that?"

Mu Canglong glared at him coldly.

Si Kongbai smiled without speaking, his gaze gradually falling downstairs.

At the same time, Li Ye walked up to Wen Jiu, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

Let's see how you get out of this one!

"Do you have any disloyalty towards Flying Immortal Peak?" Li Ye asked coldly.

Wen Jiu, mimicking the Corpse Burier beside him, slowly uttered the word "no."

Li Ye asked again, "In the past year, have any people from Flying Immortal Peak, or people from outside Flying Immortal Peak, made you do anything outside your duties as a Night Patrol Division member?"

"Yes... I was previously working under Manager Wang Nian as a Corpse Burier... moving and burying dead bodies every day... My sister also made me pay respects to our deceased parents... Night Patrol Division Manager Li Ye also told me not to participate in the Corpse Burier's year-end assessment, and he would help me get a position in the Night Patrol Division in ten years..."

As soon as he said this.

Li Ye's expression changed.

Damn it.

How did this get out?

Mu Canglong said with a cold laugh, "As expected of your subordinate. A dignified Night Patrol Division Manager, yet shamelessly threatening a low-level Corpse Burier, preventing him from participating in the year-end assessment."

Si Kongbai's expression turned cold.

He was speechless.

But the look in his eyes towards Li Ye was already filled with hidden daggers.

Seeing the unfavorable turn of events, Li Ye quickly asked again, "Were the deaths of Fang Zheng and the other two caused by your methods?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Li Ye surprisingly spoke again.

"Have you done anything unspeakable using the Corpse Raising Method?"

Manager Liu, standing beside a Night Patrol Division disciple, his expression hardened. "Li Ye, what do you think you're doing? I advise you not to go too far. If you want to settle a personal score, don't blame me for giving you a taste of your own medicine!"

Li Ye quickly turned back, cupping his fists in apology. "Manager Liu, my apologies. I momentarily forgot... I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry!"

Saying this.

Li Ye shifted to the side.

But in reality, he was intently listening to Wen Jiu's next response.

He refused to believe it wasn't Wen Jiu who did it!

The next moment.

Wen Jiu spoke hazily, "It wasn't me... I occasionally move Black Zombies and carry corpses, and I was slacking off on my own..."

Hearing this.

Li Ye's expression tightened.

His heart was filled with disbelief.

No!

How could it not be him?

But before he could react, Liu Xiao had already positioned himself in front of his usual confidant, his face grim, and asked directly, "What kind of dirty business does your Gathering Righteousness Hall usually engage in?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Li Ye and several other managers' expressions changed drastically.

Even Si Kongbai on the second floor reacted the same way.

"Shut up!"

In a moment of desperation, Si Kongbai leaped down and slapped the disciple being interrogated, sending him flying.

It was as if he was afraid the disciple would utter another word.

Seeing this, Liu Xiao retreated several steps and, mimicking Li Ye, apologized. "Steward Si Kong, my apologies... I couldn't hold back for a moment and asked something I shouldn't have... My apologies, I am extremely sorry."

Si Kongbai's face was grim.

He looked like he wanted to kill.

Liu Xiao did not retreat.

He stood tall and straight.

As if telling Si Kongbai that Wen Jiu wasn't without protection, and if he dared to ask another question, Liu Xiao would expose his secrets!

"You are truly asking for death!"

Si Kongbai said coldly, his anger palpable.

Just then, Mu Canglong's deep voice echoed, and a sword appeared behind him without anyone knowing when.

A giant cyan sword.

The giant cyan sword danced around him.

Though slow.

Its sword intent was surging.

Even from five to six zhang away, Wen Jiu could still feel the powerful and heart-stopping sword intent.

Si Kongbai felt the same. As his gaze swept over the giant cyan sword, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes. Therefore, despite his rage, he did not remain in place. Instead, he turned and gestured for Li Ye to continue.

"Li Ye, if you utter another word of nonsense, I'll have you guarding the Flying Immortal Peak mountain gate!"

Li Ye responded fearfully, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Mu Canglong slowly retracted the giant cyan sword. "Si Kongbai, I know the disgraceful deeds your Gathering Righteousness Hall does without you telling me. But I'm too lazy to deal with you. However, if there's no explanation for today's events, you'd better think carefully!"

His words fell.

Si Kongbai's expression grew even more unsightly.

But thinking of that giant cyan sword, he could only suppress his anger and say, "Fellow Daoist Mu, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

As soon as this was said.

Li Ye's expression changed drastically.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wen Jiu, mimicking others, woke up and collapsed weakly on the ground. He only managed to stand up slowly with the help of others.

After standing up, Wen Jiu bowed to Mu Canglong, Manager Liu, and the others, then stood aside with the rest.

Soon.

All the Night Patrol Division disciples were interrogated.

Apart from the spy discovered at the very beginning, no others were found.

Following closely, Mu Canglong and the other person scrutinized all the managers in front of all the Night Patrol Division disciples.

Still nothing.

Just as Si Kongbai, with an unpleasant expression, was about to dismiss everyone, Mu Canglong suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

"Wen Jiu!"

Wen Jiu quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"Steward Mu!"

Mu Canglong said coldly, "That Li Ye, once you reach the third level of Qi Cultivation, if you don't beat him soundly, from now on, don't say you're my person!"

"Yes!"

Wen Jiu nodded.

Then, Si Kongbai's expression, as well as Li Ye's expression, changed drastically.

Wen Jiu was overjoyed inwardly.

So this is what it feels like to have backing?

So satisfying!

But even if Mu Canglong didn't say it.

He would have killed Li Ye anyway.

After this incident, that kind of person probably won't bother him for a while, but who knows about the future.

So once he has the ability, he must deal with it.

Third level of Qi Cultivation, huh.

He wasn't far from being able to kill someone at the third level of Qi Cultivation.

"Disperse!"

Si Kongbai, suppressing his anger, dismissed the crowd.

Wen Jiu also left with the flow.

But as he walked out, Wen Jiu thought about that corpse.

Although there weren't many spies caught this time, there were still a few. If their souls were searched and something was discovered...

Would they turn the Dead Corpse Land upside down and search it countless times?

No.

He had to quickly move the corpse to a different hiding place.

As for the damaged first-grade high-tier Magic Tool, he would keep it on him, because he had already bought a Storage Bag.

It could block Spiritual Sense detection.
