"I have no idea!"
The man shook his head frantically. If he spoke, he would be a sinner who betrayed the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race, and from then on, he would have no chance to stay in the clan!
This is a totem of faith!
He was scared, yet he was stubborn!
Xie Feng picked another person, someone he already knew, but due to excessive nervousness, he couldn't remember anything!
Shuangyan muttered, "Will it even work?!"
Gu Yuan said casually, "If you can't get the information, just kill them. These nobles don't know the value of life until they see blood!"
At this moment, the Imperial Evil Lord stepped forward, surveyed the crowd, and asked calmly yet with a hint of threat, "I'll ask you this once: do you know where the Karmic Fire Crimson Phoenix is? This is a very precious opportunity; those who know, you'd better answer!"
He paused for three seconds after saying that.
No one answered!
With a flick of his sleeve, the Imperial Evil Lord unleashed two fierce bursts of energy, instantly beheading the two who had failed to answer!
Bang!
Bang!
The two fell to the ground!
The others stared wide-eyed, their faces turning deathly pale.
The Imperial Evil Lord said with a smile, "I killed these two people; it has absolutely nothing to do with this Sect Master Xie."
His ability to change his expression so quickly is truly remarkable; he's like a smiling tiger.
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out!
The Imperial Evil Lord's actions are really not Xie Feng's fault.
At this moment, some of the smarter ones among them had already realized that Xie Feng and Imperial Evil Lord were playing good cop and bad cop, respectively, and were just messing with them!
But so what?
Would they dare to utter a sound? Of course not!
Unless there truly is someone who is willing to die for their cause!
The Imperial Evil Lord turned around and said to Xie Feng, "Sect Leader Xie, do you think we should continue asking?"
Xie Feng nodded. "If I need to know the location of the Karmic Fire Crimson Phoenix, I must continue."
The Imperial Evil Lord turned his head to the side, glancing at the trembling people in the courtyard, and asked, "Has anyone volunteered to speak?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances, all looking conflicted.
"I..."
Someone raised their hand, but hesitated to speak.
Xie Feng immediately pointed at him. "What are you trying to say?"
Just as the man was about to speak, someone next to him suddenly grabbed his neck and snapped his throat with a crack, killing him instantly!
The Imperial Evil Lord's gaze suddenly turned cold!
Beside him, Gu Yuan swung his sword, severing the hands of the person who was strangling him.
He screamed in agony.
Xie Feng asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? It seems you know?"
"I don't know! I'd rather die than betray the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race! Come on! If you have the guts, kill me! That would be a fitting end!"
The man was shouting and yelling.
The Imperial Evil Lord's expression was cold. When Gu Yuan looked over, he nodded secretly.
Gu Yuan killed the person who was strangling him!
Then, the Imperial Evil Lord looked at Xie Feng and asked, "Sect Leader Xie, do you wish to continue asking questions?"
Xie Feng nodded!
The Imperial Evil Lord asked again, "Has anyone spoken up on their own initiative?"
No one spoke!
I don't know if he was terrified or if his will was too strong.
However, judging from everyone's expressions, it's more likely they were terrified...
The Imperial Evil Lord showed no mercy, raising his sword and killing ten people in quick succession!
The continuous deaths instilled in everyone a profound fear that they might be next.
Moreover, they discovered that the most terrifying person was not Gu Yuan, or Imperial Evil Lord, but Xie Feng!
As long as Xie Feng persists in asking and fails to obtain the answer he desires, the members of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race will die one after another until everyone in the courtyard has vanished...
Time ticked by, second by second!
The courtyard, which was originally packed with people, is now reduced to just over a dozen!
The courtyard was filled with pools of blood.
The thick, pungent smell of blood filled the air, making one want to vomit.
"Just a heads up, my patience will run out. Now, I'll count to three. Within three counts, someone will say, 'You will all survive.'"
"If no one speaks up after this, then... just wait and see how we treat you!"
The Imperial Evil Lord slowly scanned the area, then stretched out his hand and raised each finger.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
The courtyard was completely silent!
The Imperial Evil Lord smiled and nodded, "Very well, then let me see you all off..."
"Etc!
"I'll tell you! Don't kill me, I'm willing to tell you!"
A fat man dressed in fine clothes had lost his composure. He was so bloated and bloated that it was clear he was a man who lived a life of luxury and was afraid of death.
He had survived by sheer luck, but seeing that no one spoke up and everyone in the yard was doomed to die, he succumbed to his survival instinct.
He didn't want to die!
If you don't want to die, you have to betray the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race!
Xie Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, after killing so many people, at least there's one coward who's afraid of death.
Otherwise, he would really think that the entire Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race were heroes of unwavering integrity.
To be fair, the cohesion of this race is truly remarkable!
Xie Feng looked at the fat man and asked seriously, "Where is the habitat of the Karmic Fire Crimson Phoenix?"
The fat man said, " The Illusory Star Pool!"
Xie Feng's gaze sharpened. "Where exactly is this place?"
The fat man said, " Mengl iu Volcano!"
Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Yinjian, "If you're lying to us, you know what kind of abilities the Imperial Evil Realm possesses!"
The fat man hurriedly said, "I swear, everything I said is true!"
"You traitor!"
"Get out of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race! You are not one of us!"
"How shameful! I am ashamed to be associated with you!"
"Just kill yourself already!"
Behind the fat man, angry curses from his clansmen could be heard.
He turned his head, equally furious. "Damn it, if I had said it, we would all have survived, you know that... ugh!"
thump!
Before the fat man could finish speaking, he collapsed heavily to the ground!
A spurt of blood shot out from his neck!
He was killed by the Imperial Evil Lord's sword, which was formed from his own energy!
Everyone was stunned.
The Imperial Evil Lord dispersed his Origin Power and said slowly, "I said that those who spoke within three times could live. Unfortunately, he spoke too late."
"Demon!"
Someone gritted their teeth and muttered a curse under their breath.
The Imperial Evil Lord smiled and nodded, "You only just found out that I am a demon? I'm truly sorry, it seems my reputation isn't widespread enough. I will strive to make sure the whole world knows this."
Xie Feng said, "Now that we have the location, let's make preparations and head to the Illusory Star Pool."
"Good!"
The Imperial Evil Lord nodded and gestured for him to proceed. "Sect Leader Xie is a distinguished guest and meritorious official of the Imperial Evil Realm. Please go first."
Xie Feng didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Imperial Evil Lord and Lu Yinjian then came out.
Lu Yinjian said, "Brother Xie, they overheard you mentioning your intention to go to the Illusory Star Pool."
Xie Feng said, "From the moment I asked the question, they knew I didn't care!"
"To avoid any unnecessary accidents and to ensure Sect Leader Xie's safety, I have ordered Gu Yuan to kill everyone in the courtyard."
The Imperial Evil Lord smiled lightly.
When it comes to killing, he doesn't even blink!
Such brutality and cold-bloodedness were so extreme that even Xie Feng, a psychopath, found it perverse.
