Chapter 75 Capture and Interrogation [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
Chen Xiaolu hadn't spoken yet.
Elder Bai Mei's tone turned serious: "Chen Xiaolu, you stayed in the Blood Spirit Sect for a month. How did you manage to access Han Laomo's puppet core?"
"Can you find out where the array's core is? Can you even figure out the exact location of Wang Yin's alchemy furnace fire?"
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became tense.
The gray-robed elder also looked over, his eyes scrutinizing, while the red-faced elder narrowed his eyes.
The one-eyed elder didn't move, but his single eye remained fixed on Chen Xiaolu.
Chen Xiaolu remained expressionless and spoke respectfully.
"The elder is right. As a disciple in disguise, I indeed have no access to these things."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "These were not things I found out; they were things a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect told me."
The gray-robed elder frowned: "A Blood Spirit Sect disciple told you? Who? And why?"
"Reporting to the elder, that man's name is Li Tianran."
Chen Xiaolu said, "I was a blood slave in the Blood Spirit Sect for three years and was transformed into a half-human, half-puppet by Old Demon Han."
Elder Bai Mei's gaze sharpened further: "A blood slave? How could a blood slave know these things?"
"able."
Chen Xiaolu said, "Because he was unwilling to accept it, Li Tianran had been looking for an opportunity to escape for three years and tried every means to improve his cultivation, regardless of the cost."
He risked becoming a mindless puppet, forcibly cultivating from the first level of pseudo-Qi Refinement to the eighth level.
She spoke calmly as she recounted Li Tianran's story.
"A month ago, he went to the Rift Valley Black Market, ostensibly to help Han Laomo buy blood slaves, but actually to buy life-saving talismans and magical artifacts, in preparation for escaping the Blood Spirit Sect."
At that time, the female disciple disguised herself as a man and found him in the black market. She deliberately approached him and made a deal with him.
He helped me and Senior Sister Shen escape from the Blood Spirit Sect, and I promised him that I would spare his life when the Heavenly Sword Sect attacked the mountain.
He was also planning to take advantage of the chaos of our attack to escape from the Blood Spirit Sect.
"He told me all this information about the Blood Spirit Sect."
The room was quiet for a couple of breaths.
The red-faced elder snorted, "A blood slave, trying to make a deal with our sect? Where does he get the nerve?"
The one-eyed elder looked at Song Qingshu: "Have you heard of this Li Tianran?"
Song Qingshu nodded with a wry smile: "I know."
The gray-robed elder asked, "What is your origin?"
Song Qingshu said, "It's that little evil cultivator who robbed Qingfeng on the black market and then used information to threaten him and us."
The red-faced elder was taken aback: "Pseudo-Qi Refinement Level Six Jie Qingfeng? Isn't Qingfeng Level Eight?"
"right."
Song Qingshu said, "This happened two months ago. Li Tianran ambushed Qingfeng near the Rift Valley Black Market and deliberately threatened him, forcing him to take the message back to the outer sect."
Elder Bai Mei frowned: "So, the outer sect's rash attack on the Blood Spirit Sect was also one of the contributing factors?"
"Yes, Elder."
Song Qingshu said, "This little evil cultivator is quite bold; he wants to use us to destroy the Blood Sect."
Xiao Lu has kept in touch with me, and she mentions Li Tianran every time she messages me.
He has changed a lot in the past three months, breaking through from the sixth level of pseudo-Qi Refinement to the eighth level, and now wielding a high-grade spiritual weapon, the Meteorite Iron Spear. His overall strength is no less than that of a ninth-level Qi Refinement cultivator.
The gray-robed elder said in a deep voice, "He also has a magical artifact? A blood slave, transformed into a half-human, half-puppet."
"He even dared to cultivate to the eighth level of pseudo-Qi Refinement? He certainly has a ruthless streak."
The red-faced elder snorted, "Ruthless as he may be, he has killed disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
No matter the reason, if their hands are stained with the blood of their own people, they must be killed.
Elder Bai Mei nodded: "We've already deployed people around the perimeter to prevent any from slipping through the net; he can't escape."
"Once we conquer the Blood Spirit Sect, we'll capture this little evil cultivator alive, interrogate him, and then kill him."
The gray-robed elder did not press Chen Xiaolu further, but instead said calmly:
"All the elders from each peak have come out this time." Including the four of us, there are a total of ten combatants with the strength of late Foundation Establishment stage or above.
This time, half of the Foundation Establishment experts from the sect were mobilized, so even if the so-called sect leader of the Blood Spirit Sect came, it would be useless.
According to intelligence, the Blood Spirit Sect Master's cultivation level is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaolu remained unfazed: "Elders, everything I just said is true. Senior Sister Shen and Senior Brother Song can both testify to this."
Song Qingshu: "Xiao Lu is trustworthy; the information she sent back before all matched up."
Shen Qing stiffly added, "That's right, we were able to come back this time entirely thanks to Xiao Lu."
The gray-robed elder nodded and looked out the window: "Now that we have this crucial information..."
Then we can make targeted arrangements to try to destroy the Blood Spirit Sect at the lowest possible cost.
Of course, the Blood Spirit Sect should not be underestimated, especially their sect leader who has never shown his face.
Chen Xiaolu followed the gray-robed elder's gaze.
There were six people standing on the deck of the flying boat, all of whom had an aura of late Foundation Establishment or higher.
Some people carried swords on their backs, some crossed their arms, and some cleaned their magical artifacts.
"All the deacons and elders from each peak have come out this time."
We have four peak Foundation Establishment cultivators and six late Foundation Establishment cultivators; no matter how strong he is, he cannot escape death.
There was a strange expression on Chen Xiaolu's face.
Song Qingshu added: "Elders,
Qingfeng has already led his men to set up defenses on the perimeter, sealing off the entire area within a radius of fifty miles from the old mining area to Black Wind Mountain.
There was also an outer sect elder who was halfway to Foundation Establishment and three Qi Refining Peak experts patrolling the perimeter.
The disciple has already instructed them to have him capture Li Tianran alive and bring him back to the elders for judgment.
The words fell.
Elder Bai Mei said with satisfaction, "That's very good. I also have some knowledge of mechanical puppetry."
A half-human, half-puppet evil cultivator is indeed a good research subject.
The gray-robed elder took over, his tone resolute:
"From the half-puppet evil cultivators to the sect leader, not a single member of the Blood Spirit Sect will escape!"
A hint of amusement flashed in Chen Xiaolu's eyes.
Hearing that such a lineup was targeting her, she showed no panic on her face, but rather curiosity.
Li Tianran is a pseudo-Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator.
Can he escape the pursuit of a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator plus three Qi Refining Peak cultivators?
The red-faced elder said solemnly, "We must not underestimate our enemy. That mysterious sect leader is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivates the Blood Spirit Scripture, and is skilled in blood escape and blood sacrifice techniques."
"Even if the four of us work together, we can subdue her within ten breaths, but her Blood Escape speed is too fast. If she escapes, the consequences will be dire."
The one-eyed elder chimed in, "Therefore, sealing off the outer perimeter is crucial; we cannot allow anyone to escape."
Elder Bai Mei glanced at Chen Xiaolu and asked again, "Are you sure the array's core is in the alchemy furnace at Blood Cauldron Peak?"
Chen Xiaolu met his gaze: "Elder, it should be right."
"Then our formation elders can investigate and determine the truth."
She said this without blinking.
Elder Bai Mei remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.
The gray-robed elder glanced at the sky: "Qingshu, we'll make our move at midnight tonight. Tell everyone to be well-rested and not a single one of them is allowed to mess things up."
