Infinite Predator of the Heavens

Chapter 187 Interrogation
"Hmph, I've been caught, and I still dare to quibble!"

Taoist Leng Mu said in a cold voice: "You didn't steal it. Why did you appear in my Songyuan temple? And when you found me looking at you, why did you run away? It must be you who stole something, afraid of being discovered, So I was guilty of being a thief, and I just ran away subconsciously after being glanced at by me!"

"This fellow Taoist invites you. This is Lu Qing from Taishan Sect. I am willing to be a witness. If you really stole the things from Songyuan Temple, please return it to Taoist Lengmu, and we will forget the past."

Brother Lu suddenly interrupted and said.

"How many times do you have to tell me before you can believe that I didn't steal anything from Songyuan Temple?"

The caught casual cultivator looked angry and said loudly: "Isn't it because I am a casual cultivator that you doubt me so much and refuse to believe what I say? If I am a disciple of a certain sect, how dare you treat me like this?" Shall I arrest and interrogate again? Do you dare?"

"presumptuous!"

Taoist Leng Mu saw that the casual cultivator dared to question himself and others, he immediately shouted angrily, raised his palm, and wanted to slap the casual cultivator in the face.

Sanxiu and Taoist Leng Mu's cultivation level was similar, if Lu Qing hadn't been in the way, Sanxiu might have escaped long ago, so seeing that Taoist Leng Mu's slap was about to be slapped, he immediately turned his head to avoid it.

But even if he didn't dodge, Taoist Leng Mu's slap couldn't stop, because Lu Qing grabbed Taoist Leng Mu's palm with his hand.

"Brother Lu, why are you stopping me? Is it unbearable for this casual cultivator to slander our decent disciples so much? Let go, I want to teach this guy who dared to pour dirty water on our sect disciples a lesson." !"

As Taoist Leng Mu said, he still wanted to get rid of Lu Qing's obstruction and continue to fight loose cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Lengmu, please calm down first. We can't hit him. If we hit him, wouldn't it just confirm that our sect disciples are bullying the casual cultivators? This is a handle, Fellow Daoist Lengmu, are you sure you want to stay?"

Lu Qing shook his head, still refused to let go, and tried to persuade him.

"Hmph, are you afraid that he will be bullying casual cultivators because of the reputation of bullying casual cultivators, and let him talk nonsense here? Besides, there is no one else in this wilderness, who knows that I beat him?"

Taoist Leng Mu said to Lu Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Leng Mu, the most important thing for you now is not to get entangled with this loose cultivator, but to find the lost treasure of Songyuan Temple as soon as possible."

Lu Qing said helplessly.

"That's true, but if you don't beat this thief, he won't admit that he stole something!"

Taoist Leng Mu withdrew his hand, pointed at the casual cultivator and asked, "For brother Lu's sake, I won't let you suffer from this flesh and blood, but I advise you to quickly give the things you stole from Songyuan Temple to me." I'll hand it over, otherwise, Master Dao, I'll perform a soul-searching technique and let you taste the power of the soul-searching technique!"

"What, you... you want to perform a soul search on me?!"

That loose cultivator had always looked angry, but now, for the first time, he showed a look of shock, and even a trace of fear.

"Of course, if you are still obsessed with your obsession and refuse to hand over the things of Songyuan Temple, I will really use it!"

Seeing Sanxiu's expression, Taoist Leng Mu immediately became more proud, and said: "However, if you obediently hand over the things of my Songyuan Temple, I can magnanimously let the past go, and let you go, life or death, how to choose, It's up to you!"

When Sanxiu heard the words, he immediately closed his mouth, and looked at Taoist Leng Mu with resentment.

He knew what soul searching was, it was a spell.

The magic of this spell is that anyone with any level of cultivation can cast it.

Ordinary spells and spiritual formulas depend on the strength of the cultivator. For example, flying with a sword must be at the alchemy level. Only after the alchemy realm has the alchemy fire can it be used.

Flying in the air can only be achieved by the divine realm, and teleportation is the symbol of the virtual realm.

Many spells and spirits, if you have not reached that level of cultivation, it is impossible to use them.

But the soul search technique is different. It can be used by beginners in Qi Realm to old monsters in Void Realm.

However, when someone with high strength casts it, not only can the spell be perfectly displayed, but also has no sequelae, while if someone with low strength casts it, the sequelae will be very serious.

Especially when cultivators in the air state cast this spell, the sequelae are even more terrifying than some vicious magic spells.

The so-called soul search technique is actually a magic formula that uses one's own spiritual energy to invade the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness and search for his soul. Spiritual information.

Usually used as a means of torture.

Generally speaking, this spell will not damage the soul of the soul being searched until it is cast by the immortal cultivators in the divine realm. They will protect the soul fragments of the opponent during the soul search.

But if the aura is cast, because the strength of the aura is too low, it is impossible to guarantee that there is still room to protect those soul fragments during the search process, so after the cast, basically those soul fragments that have been searched, It will be finished, and the object of the soul search will be insane.

If it is milder, it can be recovered by repairing the soul in the follow-up. If it is serious, the soul may be irreversibly damaged directly, and the soul will be scattered immediately.

But Sanxiu couldn't agree to Taoist Lengmu's choice, because he really didn't steal anything from Songyuan Temple. His name was Zhao Yiran, and he was originally an ordinary servant, but by a coincidence, he listened to him. He received some pointers from a cultivator who had experience in the world, and learned to practice since then, which really got him started.

But it's just a beginner's level. The current Zhao Yiran is only at the late stage of Qi Condensation, and he is still far away from Qi Transformation, and he doesn't know how to practice in the future.

That's why he walked around the mountain gates, hoping to find some opportunities and hear some cultivation methods.

As a casual cultivator, he is very envious of those disciples of the sect, and yearns for those who are taught by the elders of the sect, have a systematic practice method to follow, and have brothers from the same sect to support each other.

But he was envious, but he never stole anything from anyone.

At that time, Zhao Yiran was indeed wandering outside Songyuan Temple, but he just wanted to hear a few words of cultivation knowledge from the disciples of Songyuan Temple. If he heard something useful, it would definitely benefit him a lot.

And when he met Taoist Leng Mu, Taoist Leng Mu gave him a look, because of the low self-esteem of casual cultivators, Zhao Yiran didn't dare to look at him.

Seeing Zhao Yiran's reaction of not daring to meet people's eyes, Taoist Leng Mu thought he was a thief who stole Songyuan Temple, and rushed towards him directly.

Zhao Yiran naturally refused to stand still. As a casual cultivator, he was often ridiculed and bullied by some sect disciples with bad ideas. If he fell into their hands, he would definitely suffer. just ran away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran out of the boundary of Songyuan Temple, he met Lu Qing, a disciple of Lao Shizi's Taishan Sect, and was caught by Lu Qing who could control the sword.

Now Taoist Leng Mu gave Zhao Yiran two choices, one is to take out the stolen things, and the other is to choose to be searched for souls.

Zhao Yiran couldn't choose between these two options.

He didn't steal anything, he said it hundreds of times, Taoist Leng Mu didn't believe what he said at all.

And if he is searched for the soul, even if he is finally proved innocent, it is estimated that when the time comes, the soul will be hurt, and he may die. Even if he has innocence, what is the use?

"Don't think that if you don't choose, I will have nothing to do with you. Let me tell you, I will give you another half a quarter of an hour. After the time limit, if you don't say anything and don't choose, I will assume that you choose the soul search technique by default!"

Taoist Leng Mu said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Leng Mu, it's convenient for me to ask, did you lose anything in Songyuan Temple?"

Lu Qing asked from the side.

He and Taoist Leng Mu had known each other a long time ago, because the distance between the two sects is not very far, if any monsters or spirit beasts appear nearby, these cultivation sects will dispatch horses to subdue the demons, so The two met a long time ago during a mission to subdue demons and demons.

It's just that Taoist Leng Mu's cultivation aptitude is not good, and the two are actually about the same age, but one is still struggling with Qi, and the other has begun to ponder the Golden Core Dao.

So Leng Mu acted a bit cold and cruel, because he didn't have much time, seeing the hopelessness of stepping into the alchemy state, he was naturally very annoyed.

And Lu Qing stepped into the alchemy realm and added 500 years of life, even if he couldn't enter the god realm in the end, he would still be considered a half-god for the ordinary hundred-year-old longevity.

Therefore, Lu Qing acted very calmly, seldom worried about anything, and liked to ask clearly when encountering things, unlike Leng Mu who always likes to make judgments indiscriminately.

"Oh, it's not a valuable item, but it is a secret book of cultivation. If the rumor of this kind of Taoism is leaked, and some demons, spiritual beasts or casual cultivators pick it up and practice it, then it will cause trouble, and others will insist on it. It was us from Songyuan Guan who did it, so when the time comes we will be at a loss to defend ourselves and we won’t be able to explain clearly at all.”

Taoist Leng Mu frowned, sighed, and said slowly.

"Well, this is true. The leakage of secret books is not a trivial matter."

When Lu Qing heard this, he nodded and said.

"Hey, the time is up, have you thought about it, should you hand over the things of my Songyuan Temple directly, or do you want to try the soul searching technique performed by Master Dao himself?"

Leng Mu shouted at Zhao Yiran who was still silent.

"I, no, steal!"

Zhao Yiran gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"You have friends from the Dan Realm here. I know that I, a casual cultivator, am no match for you. Let me say it for the last time. Although I, Zhao Yiran, am a casual cultivator, I have never taken anything from Song Yuan Guan! "

Zhao Yiran followed up and said: "You want to kill or cut at will, I have nothing to say, but if you want people to know unless you do nothing, I don't believe it. No one will know about your murder of casual cultivators, but if people know Yes, there are good fruits for you to eat!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yiran sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes closely, looking like he was being slaughtered.

"Okay, you're so brave! But what do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Leng Mu's eyes turned cold, and he moved his hands, seeing that a spiritual formula was about to take shape.

"Fellow Daoist Leng Mu wait a minute!"

However, Lu Qing reached out and interrupted Leng Mu's spiritual art, and directly stopped him: "Are you sure that this casual cultivator really stole your Xuanyuan Temple? Do you have any evidence? If you are so rash I am afraid that if someone pursues him in the future, they will blame you and me."

"Brother Lu, it's already here, and you still stop me?"

Leng Muhong looked at Lu Qing and asked Lu Qing: "I'm sure that it's this thief who stole the things from our Xuanyuan Temple. There are so many people around Songyuan Temple. I checked them one by one. He, I just glanced at him, didn't dare to look at me without saying anything, and even turned his head and ran away. Didn't he do something wrong?
As for the evidence, who knows if he has the secret book on his body, if he moves fast enough, steals the secret book and hides it, and if he doesn't bring it with him, there will be no evidence at all! "

"Since there is no evidence, fellow Daoist Leng Mu, why don't you bring this casual cultivator back to your Songyuan Temple, and interrogate him carefully, and you will eventually find out the truth. You can use the soul search technique on him here, and someone who cares will investigate Wake up, I can tell at a glance that it is your Songyuan Temple's tricks, wouldn't it attract enemies for your Songyuan Temple?"

Lu Qing continued to persuade her earnestly.

After becoming alchemy, Lu Qing had a lot of time to cultivate slowly, so he always stayed away from such things that would leave some stains and handles on him.

So he wanted to persuade Taoist Lengmu to go back to Xuanyuan Temple. At that time, anything that happened in Xuanyuan Temple would have nothing to do with Lu Qing. Even if something happened in the future, he would not be held accountable. on the head.

"Alright, take him back and interrogate him with a few more people, and he will always tell the truth obediently."

Taoist Leng Mu thought for a while, and finally nodded and said.

After finishing speaking, he reached out to lift Zhao Yiran's back, intending to grab the other's clothes and lift him up.

But Zhao Yiran stretched out his hand and opened Taoist Leng Mu's hand, opened his eyes, and said stubbornly: "You want me to go to your Songyuan Temple? No way! I won't go!"

Zhao Yiran is a casual cultivator, Leng Mu is a disciple of a sect, and Songyuan Temple is also a cultivation sect, once he enters the sect and is in the other party's territory, then the other party can do whatever they want?
Although Lu Qing in front of him knew Leng Mu, but listening to the other party's opinion, he didn't approve of Leng Mu doing some troublesome things in front of him.

And once he entered Songyuan Temple, Lu Qing would not follow him in. At that time, there would be no crowds watching, only the disciples of Songyuan Temple, even if he died in Songyuan Temple, who would make the decision for himself?
So you must be in front of Lu Qing, and you can't leave him, otherwise, your life will really be lost.
