Chapter 936 Collapse
“We had you release the news about the ancient ruins to attract a large number of cultivators to enter them,” True Person Xiu said with narrowed eyes. “But in the first and second ancient ruins, the legacies were both obtained by Fang Yu, and in the third, fourth, and fifth ruins, the legacies were snatched away by a suddenly appearing man in black.”
“This situation completely contradicts our previous plans!”
“If this continues, all the ancient ruins will completely serve these two people, while we gain nothing!”
Hearing True Person Xiu’s increasingly cold tone, Bai Konggu’s expression slightly changed, and he lowered his head without speaking.
“Since things have come to this, we’ll proceed according to your plan,” True Person Xiu’s tone suddenly became calm as he said, “But my requirement is that when the next ancient ruin opens, these two must fight! They must battle to the death!”
“As for how to accomplish this, that’s up to you.”
“Konggu, the other elders are somewhat dissatisfied with your recent performance. I hope you can do something substantial this time and win back their trust.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Bai Konggu’s body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
……
The information obtained from the Sky-Watching Bureau didn’t provide much value to Fang Yu.
It merely stated that a mysterious man in black appeared, seized the legacy from the ancient ruins at an extremely fast speed, and killed those four people from the Sky-Watching Bureau.
As for Bai Konggu’s intentions, Fang Yu saw through them clearly.
The reason for revealing so much information was actually to get Fang Yu to eliminate that man in black.
For now, Fang Yu wasn’t particularly interested in that man in black.
His main goal currently was to find a way to obtain information about the Half-Spirit Clan or the Half-Spirit Realm.
After returning home, Fang Yu went directly to the cave built by Little Fengling.
In less than three hours since being handed over to Little Fengling, Shangqing was already at death’s door.
His limbs were bound tightly, unable to move.
His face was bloodless, his mouth seemed to contain something that made it bulge, and his body was covered in bloody marks.
“Whap! Whap! Whap!”
Little Fengling held a long whip in her hand, continuously lashing Shangqing.
“Mmm…”
Throughout the cave, Shangqing’s painful groans echoed from his throat.
Fang Yu stood behind Little Fengling, quietly watching Shangqing.
At this moment, he noticed that even when Little Fengling wasn’t using the whip, Shangqing’s body was still trembling, his face showing extreme pain.
“Little Fengling,” Fang Yu spoke.
“Master! Why are you here?” Little Fengling was startled, turning her head and patting her chest with her small hand.
“How’s the situation?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s not working yet, he refuses to say anything,” Little Fengling scratched her head and said, “You need to give me more time.”
“You’ve stuffed something in his mouth, how can he speak?” Fang Yu asked with widened eyes.
“But if I don’t stuff something in his mouth, I’m afraid he might bite his tongue and kill himself,” Little Fengling pouted.
“And this whip… what’s the explanation for that?” Fang Yu frowned, watching Shangqing’s continuously trembling body.
“I added my special itching powder to it. When it strikes, it first causes pain, then becomes unbearably itchy,” Little Fengling proudly raised her head and said, “This is my own invention, Master.”
Fang Yu looked at the smile on Little Fengling’s face, momentarily at a loss for words.
It was hard to imagine that she was a spirit of an artifact.
She not only possessed humanity but also the ability to learn on her own.
She had truly become sentient.
“Alright, step back, I need to ask him some questions,” Fang Yu said.
“But Master, I haven’t…” Little Fengling was speaking when she met Fang Yu’s stern gaze, and reluctantly retreated.
Fang Yu walked up to Shangqing, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face.
“Poof!”
The copper ball in Shangqing’s mouth was directly slapped out, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“Fang Changsheng, kill me! Just kill me!” Shangqing screamed, “I won’t say anything, all you can do is kill me!”
“I’m sorry, but the more you want to die, the less likely you’ll be able to,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Seeing Fang Yu’s expression, the fear in Shangqing’s heart grew stronger.
During the previous three hours, he had endured the most extreme torture!
As a mage without his staff, he had no power to resist at all!
As for biting his tongue, Fang Yu’s slap had knocked out half his teeth, making it impossible for him to even bite his tongue!
Now, he was in a state worse than death!
“Actually, I don’t have many questions, three at most,” Fang Yu said. “If you just answer my questions, I’ll let you go immediately.”
Shangqing gasped for breath, enduring the itching and pain on his body, saying nothing.
“It seems you haven’t considered it well, so I’ll let Little Fengling continue,” Fang Yu said, turning around.
“Thank you, Master!” Little Fengling exclaimed happily, skipping forward.
Shangqing looked at this small, cute little girl, but his face showed unprecedented fear.
“Master, I’ll work even harder next time. Come back in three days, and he’ll definitely tell you everything!” Little Fengling promised, patting her chest.
“Three days might not be enough. I’ll come back in a week. Remember, don’t let him die,” Fang Yu said, pinching Little Fengling’s round face.
“A week… that’s even better!” Little Fengling’s eyes lit up.
By this time, Fang Yu was already walking out of the cave.
Shangqing widened his eyes, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid, until he finally couldn’t hold back and shouted, “Don’t go! I’m willing to answer your questions!”
Fang Yu stopped, turned around, and smiled, “Are you sure?”
“Yes! I’m sure!” Shangqing answered, “As long as I answer your questions, you’ll let me go, right?”
“Yes.”
Fang Yu returned to stand in front of Shangqing.
“How fickle! Hmph!” Little Fengling retreated with a pout.
“First question, how does one enter the Half-Spirit Realm?” Fang Yu asked.
“…Using a token, but I don’t have one,” Shangqing’s speech was slurred, his words unclear.
Fang Yu nodded.
This answer matched what Yan Zhen had said.
“Second question, what is Dao Kong’s current situation?” Fang Yu asked.
“…Immortal Dao Kong, I don’t have the qualifications to directly interact with him. I, I don’t know his situation,” Shangqing answered.
“You previously followed Soul Flow. Didn’t Soul Flow ever mention anything about Dao Kong?” Fang Yu slightly narrowed his eyes and asked.
Shangqing’s eyes shifted.
Noticing this, Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
“Aah…”
Shangqing felt a stabbing pain in his head, as if thousands of fine needles were piercing his brain, unbearably painful.
“Think again, carefully,” Fang Yu said with a cold smile.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Shangqing cried out.
“Speak,” Fang Yu withdrew his technique.
“Lord Soul once mentioned that Immortal Dao Kong is currently in an extremely critical stage and needs to seclude himself for cultivation for some time,” Shangqing said tremblingly.
“Seclusion? How long will he be in seclusion?” Fang Yu asked.
“This I really don’t know,” Shangqing said in terror.
“Alright, then what does Dao Kong mean by ‘the flood is coming’?” Fang Yu asked.
“This… I don’t know either,” Shangqing said.
“This is something your Immortal Dao Kong mentions every day, and you claim not to know?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then why have you been following the Half-Spirit Clan for so long?”
“Lord Soul did mention it, but he never explained the specific meaning…” Shangqing answered, his face bloodless.
Fang Yu observed Shangqing’s complexion.
In this situation, Shangqing shouldn’t have the courage to lie.
“Alright, one last thing,” Fang Yu said. “I need information on all the people in North Capital who, like you, follow the Half-Spirit Clan or are controlled by them.”
“…We don’t have contact with each other, and I don’t know information about others…” Shangqing’s face changed as he widened his eyes.
“No, you know at least one or two… I don’t believe Soul Flow would leave just you as a spy in North Capital,” Fang Yu said coldly. “If you don’t speak… then all your previous cooperation is wasted, and you’ll continue to suffer.”
Shangqing looked at Fang Yu’s cold smile, his heart completely collapsing.
“I, I know two people, I can give you their information…”
