Chapter 336 Interrogation
Chapter 336: Interrogation
Resolve flashed in Xie Changyuan’s eyes as he declared the secret of his heart.
“I …… I am actually the Mixed Yuan real person’s own son, as long as you will take me away from this small world and send me to the city lord’s mansion, my father must bear your love.”
Xu Chuniang blinked, seemingly somewhat unresponsive.
Xie Changyuan thought that she didn’t believe it, and a few anxious colors appeared in his eyes.
“What I said is true, my father did not announce this relationship to the public in order to protect me. As long as you help me, there is absolutely no shortage of benefits for you. I’m willing to swear with my dao heart!”
Being able to receive a favor from a Yuan Ying Realist sounded great.
Unfortunately, since Xu Chuniang had captured Xie Changyuan, how could she easily let him go.
“It turns out that Third Prince Xie is actually the son of a Mixed Yuan Realist, so your two elder brothers and sisters, they couldn’t be your older siblings, could they?”
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Xie Changyuan’s face, “Naturally not, I don’t have any other siblings.”
“Then how much do you know about the affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion?”
Xie Changyuan eased his expression, “Although I don’t meddle in the affairs of the mansion, but there is always some understanding of things big and small ……”
Before the words fell, he experienced a sharp pain in his brain, his face suddenly turned white, and the amiability on his face could no longer be maintained.
Replaced by red eyes and cold hatred, and constantly trembling, sweating like pulp body.
He stared at the female cultivator in front of him, but the intense pain from the damage to his divine sense made him unable to say half a word.
Xu Chuniang smiled slowly, from the moment she entered the small world, she had never let her guard down against Xie Changyuan, expecting the other party to be the same.
From the moment she showed up, she had begun to figure out how to deal with her.
He appeared to be asking for help, but in actuality, he was merely trying to relax her guard so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to strike.
His dantian was destroyed and he was seriously injured, but his divine sense was unharmed, so he might be able to win under a sneak attack.
However, Xu Chuniang had prepared for this, and her divine sense was even stronger than Xie Changyuan’s, so not only did his carefully planned strike not work, but it damaged her divine sense.
Xie Changyuan slowed down for a long time before he was able to recover from the pain of his divine sense rebounding and regained his voice.
“You’re that formation master from earlier.”
He had already guessed this, and the fact that he had struck out only moments ago further affirmed the guess in his heart.
She grabbed herself, is it to give Zhuge Yun revenge …… or because of other?
Xu Chuniang didn’t deny it, her eyes calmly snapped, “Why did you destroy my senior brother?”
Xie Changyuan’s heart jumped violently, but he sneered without changing his face.
“Since I agreed to a duel, I am responsible for my own life and death. How is it that your Easy Sect, as a top five sect, is unable to afford to lose?”
The female cultivator was not enraged as he had hoped, her expression remained calm.
After realizing that someone in the City Lord’s Mansion had secretly attacked her, using such underhanded tactics as the Demon Soul, Xu Chuniang thought of many things.
Just now, when she met Shangguan Xue, the demonic soul that had been suppressed in her body moved.
It had sensed a kindred spirit.
Xu Chuniang didn’t know exactly what Shangguan Xue’s situation was now, but she knew that the person who had done it was bound to have nothing to do with the City Lord’s Mansion.
Being stared at by such calm eyes, Xie Changyuan inexplicably felt a sense of panic, as if his entire being had been seen through.
He calmed his mind and said in a cold voice.
“I advise you not to make an enemy of my City Lord’s Mansion, the Easy Sect is already in decline and running out of steam, sooner or later, my City Lord’s Mansion will take its place as the new Five Great Sects!
Even if you kill me, it won’t change anything. If you are sensible, you should abandon your darkness and turn to the light while you can ……”
“A mere Mixed Yuan City, how dare you speak such big words. The Mixed Yuan Realist is only in the middle stage of YuanYing, and he dares to lay hands on the Easy Sect?”
Xu Chuniang nonchalantly interrupted him, a few chills coming out from the bottom of her eyes, falling on his body like an awl.
“Let me guess, you guys are so emboldened, but have you found help? Is it those evil cultivators from Delusional Mountain?” Xie Changyuan’s body was slightly shaken, silent.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything, I always have a way to pry open your mouth. If you really can’t, just search your soul.”
Xu Chuniang hadn’t learned the art of soul searching, and this statement was merely meant to swindle him.
Xie Changyuan’s face changed slightly, and his fingers couldn’t help but clench.
Once he had been subjected to a soul search, he would be a fool even if he didn’t die.
“Soul searching technique is an evil method, how can you, a righteous cultivator, use this evil method by any means?”
“So what if it’s an evil method, as long as it works. You all sneak attacked me with your demonic souls, do you still expect me to treat you with courtesy?”
Xu Chuniang looked calm and collected, without any psychological burden, only observing Xie Changyuan’s reaction in silence as she spoke.
“Demon soul?”
Xie Changyuan was stunned, “What does that mean?”
The look on his face did not appear to be a forgery, as if he truly did not know about the Demon Soul. Or perhaps, it was because he had disguised himself too well.
Xu Chuniang didn’t move and changed the topic, “What are your intentions in pestering Shangguan Xue?”
Xie Changyuan’s gaze turned slightly, and he was about to say that he was genuinely in love with Shangguan Xue, but then he heard a voice coolly ring out.
“Don’t say anything about being sincere, ghosts don’t even believe it. If you dare to lie, I will crush your bones inch by inch. Anyway, if the bones are broken, it won’t affect my ability to use the Soul Search Technique, right?”
Not getting a response for a long time, Xu Chuniang didn’t have any trace of impatience on her face, only carelessly crushing the bones of his hand.
“Ka-ching.”
The sound of a shattered hand bone resounded crisply, and Xie Changyuan, who was already weak to the extreme, actually fainted from the pain.
She was rather speechless and could only take a few healing pills and forcefully give them to him.
The few pills quickly exerted their effects, and the injuries on Xie Changyuan’s body improved.
His broken hand bones rapidly improved under the effects of the Bone Renewal Pill.
By the time he woke up again, it had already healed for the most part, and was only vaguely painful.
Being treated like this, Xie Changyuan was out of his mind with anger, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to be like this either, so you’d better cooperate some. Once again, what are your intentions in laying hands on Shangguan Xue?”
Feeling that flat gaze, Xie Changyuan actually cowered for a split second, fear arising in his heart.
He had no doubt that if he did not cooperate, the hand bone that had just healed would be crushed once again.
Xie Changyuan lowered his head, “This is master’s arrangement, I am just following it.”
“Ka-ching.”
This time, Xie Changyuan did not faint, his forehead broke out in cold sweat due to the intense pain, and his right hand was bent in an abnormal position.
“Answer the question.”
Xu Chuniang raised her foot and was about to step on his left hand when Xie Changyuan suddenly gave a violent wince, “I don’t know!”
“I don’t know exactly what he wants me to do, but Shangguan Xue has a YuanYing real person behind her, and has an extremely high status in the sect, so I’m guessing that I might want to utilize her to deal with the YuanYing cultivators of the Easy Sect.”
Xu Chuniang retracted her feet, seemingly considering the veracity of Xie Changyuan’s words.
Since he was unaware of the matter of the Demon Soul, perhaps he was truly unaware of it. And his guess had a few points of truth to it.
