Someone Sought to Challenge a Natural Disaster

Du Ruoheng shook her head. "No one can help me with my Check-in System."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yian's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes widened instantly, and his expression was as if he had been struck by lightning!

"Oh no!!!"

He slapped his forehead and let out a scream of extreme regret.

"How could I have forgotten about that?!"

"If only... if only I could have talked to the boss and gotten him to deliberately lose to me..."

Shen Yian's voice trembled, as if he had lost the entire world. "One hundred and eighty million! With those points, I'll take off on the spot, spiral into the heavens, and be invincible!!"

The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he became; he was utterly devastated and beat his chest in frustration.

"Holy crap!!"

If I could turn back time, I would definitely say to him--

Someone nearby, suppressing a laugh, chimed in, "Love you for ten thousand years?"

"Love you my foot!! Get lost!!"

Shen Yian was so angry he almost jumped up, his face full of grief and indignation, "You have no idea what I missed!"

"I missed a chance to directly reach the pinnacle of my life!!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Qin Wangchuan walked out of the Side Hall, where Yin Qiyue had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing him emerge, he immediately stepped forward and presented a stack of neatly arranged Jade Slip with both hands:

"Young Master, the interrogation of that Demon Race prisoner has yielded results."

Qin Wangchuan took it, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and his gaze was quickly captured by the four words on the Jade Slip.

"Ancestral Dragon Egg?"

He looked up at Yin Qiyue with a hint of surprise. "She said all of this herself?"

Yin Qiyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Not entirely."

Disciples of large Lineage usually have restrictions to prevent Soul Search, but they are useless against them!

Once inside the Wen Dao Palace, even the dead must stand up and speak!

"So that's how it is. This lineage of Demon Race has also set its sights on that Ancestral Dragon Egg."

Qin Wangchuan sighed softly, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes. "I can use this against you."

"Let them continue interrogating us and see if they can dig out any more details."

"Yes."

Yin Qiyue accepted the order.

Deep within the dungeon, the lights were dim.

Meng Yu, Fang Yuan, and several others gathered around a specially made interrogation table.

On the stage, Cai Yi was bound by even tighter restrictions, looking haggard with unfocused eyes, and had long lost the arrogance she had shown when they first met.

At this moment.

A young man dressed in the robes of an ordinary disciple of the Wen Dao Palace strode into the torture chamber, his expression unchanged. He seemed oblivious to the slightly oppressive atmosphere and Cai Yi's miserable state, as if it were nothing new to him.

He handed over a Jade Slip command that shimmered faintly, and said at the same time:

"The Young Master has ordered that the interrogation continue."

"Understood!" Meng Yu accepted the secret order with one hand, his tone eager to try it out.

"No... no!"

Cai Yi suddenly struggled, her voice hoarse and filled with fear.

Not long ago, she experienced a horrific form of torture known as "Water Drop Torture."

But the version from the Wen Dao Palace was even more terrifying—they not only suspended water droplets above her head, but also forced her to take a hallucinogenic drug, and combined it with a time-distorting array beneath her feet.

The moment she relaxes her guard and closes her eyes, she is instantly pulled into a dreamlike world where the flow of time is stretched out dramatically.

In the illusion, the monotonous, cold, and repetitive sound of dripping water will continue for a whole year!

When she wakes up in a panic, only a breath or two may have passed in the real world.

What seemed like an eternity had passed was, in reality, merely a fleeting moment.

This method of prolonging brief sensory torment into endless mental torture nearly destroyed her willpower.

"I'll tell you whatever you want to know! I'll tell you everything! Please... stop..."

Cai Yi pleaded incoherently.

"My young Young Master is very interested in that Ancestral Dragon Egg."

After reading the contents of the secret order, Meng Yu slowly and deliberately spoke, "Tell me everything you know about that thing."

Ancestral Dragon Egg?!

Cai Yi's pupils contracted, and she hesitated instinctively.

This is the ultimate goal that our Old Ancestor have planned for ten thousand years, and it is the opportunity for the ancient dynasty to advance further.

Although these people in front of her are only from Middle Thousand Provinces, if too much information is leaked from her and the plan falls apart...

Her hesitation, though only for a brief moment, did not escape Fang Yuan's notice.

"Okay, she hesitated."

Fang Yuan waved his hand expressionlessly, "Begin the torture."

"Wait, wait a minute--!!"

Cai Yi's terrified screams stopped abruptly.

The array beneath her feet flashed, and the scene before her eyes suddenly distorted and stretched.

Even though I only closed my eyes for a moment, my consciousness instantly plunged into that cold, lonely, eternal Purgatory filled only with the sound of dripping water.

"I--!!"

After spending a year in the illusion, she opened her eyes and screamed out a single word.

That damn fatigue and the effects of the medication hit again, and my eyelids drooped heavily.

The illusion returns.

Meng Yu and the others sat leisurely to the side, and Fang Yuan even took out some snacks.

"Physical punishment is nowhere near as good as this."

"Wait ten minutes, and she'll tell you exactly when she wet the bed."

Five minutes later.

"I'll talk... I'll talk..."

Cai Yi's voice was hoarse, and she spoke extremely quickly, as if afraid that if she hesitated even for a moment, she would be dragged back into that terrible loop. "I'll tell you everything... Please, please don't let me go back in there..."

Her nearly numb mind raced as she tried to find reasons for herself:

'Anyway, these people are just natives of Middle Thousand Provinces; they might not even be able to go to the Glazed Realm, let alone be qualified to participate in the True Dragon Tribe's grand event.'

'Tell them they can't do anything, and it might actually free you... Yes, that's it!'

With this thought in mind, Cai Yi held nothing back and revealed everything she knew about the Ancestral Dragon Egg.

At the same time.

Far beyond the endless void.

The Mysterious Eagle Realm of Upper Thousand Provinces, the ancestral land of the Heavenly Sparrow Dynasty.

An urgent message, traversing countless realms, finally reached the hands of several Core Elders of the ancient dynasty.

"Cai Yi was kidnapped by the Blood Evil Sect, an unknown force, in Middle Thousand Provinces, and her whereabouts are unknown."

"After a fruitless search, with the True Dragon about to be born, there is a risk of unforeseen changes."

"Please give immediate instructions: continue the search, or abandon it for now and focus on the dragon egg?"

"Blood Evil Sect...?"

The white-haired old demon in the center, with a stern face and an aura as deep as the ocean, slowly uttered the name, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Which reclusive Undying is it? Or a newly risen branch of the Imperial Clan?"

"I don't recall ever hearing of this before."

The other powerful demons in the hall, whose auras were equally imposing, looked at each other in bewilderment, searching their long memories, but to no avail.

"Judging from the name, it sounds like a third-rate demonic sect."

A middle-aged demon lord, dressed in a crimson-gold robe and exuding arrogance, scoffed, his tone full of disdain, "What decent power could a barren land like Middle Thousand Provinces possibly have?"

"That kid Cheng Yu is also muddle-headed. With such a momentous event as the birth of True Dragon imminent, he still manages to create unnecessary trouble."

"After all, Cai Yi is a direct descendant, and her status is special."

Another, more cautious elder pondered, "But the matter of the True Dragon concerns the Old Ancestor's millennia-long plan; priorities must be clearly distinguished."

The white-haired old demon pondered for a moment, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

He flicked his finger, and a streak of light disappeared into the void.

"Send an order to Cheng Yu: There's no need to waste any more time searching for the Cai Yi; leave that to the others. Instruct him to immediately focus his mind, prepare fully, and infiltrate the Glazed Realm as planned, awaiting the birth of the True Dragon."

"The Ancestral Dragon Egg is the top priority; it cannot be lost!"

"Dispatch another team of Shadow Feather Guard, carrying my warrant, to Middle Thousand Provinces. Investigate the Blood Evil Sect's background and rescue Cai Yi."

"If the opponent is truly just a force from Middle Thousand Provinces, there's no need to show mercy; just crush them."

"How dare you violate the majesty of our ancient dynasty—"

"The Mountain Gate was trampled into dust, and the Dao Lineage was ground into ashes."

"Tracing back to the founding master, and ending with the last generation of disciples."

"All those who have even the slightest connection with this sect shall be slaughtered, leaving not a single tile untouched!"

"Only then will the ants of the Lower Realm know reverence and the consequences of offending our dynasty!"
