Chapter 411: Interrogation

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words.

The man thought of the various unscrupulous tactics the other party had used during the battle earlier.

He fell silent.

"No, what do you mean by this?" Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang felt deeply struck.

He had already used his noble character as a guarantee, yet the other party was still unsatisfied.

How unreasonable!

"Daoist Friend, I only accept an oath sworn by the Dao Heart."

"Otherwise, even if you kill me, I will not reveal the slightest bit of information."

The man shook his head.

He had already witnessed the shamelessness of the person before him.

If he truly believed the other party had character, that would be a miracle.

Seeing the man persist.

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

He looked at the other party coldly, the killing intent in his eyes gradually thickening, "Do you really think Wang is very interested in the information you possess?"

The man's heart skipped a beat.

On the surface, he remained calm, his expression not changing in the slightest.

He had no way out.

He had to gamble that the other party needed the information he held.

Once he showed weakness, he would surely die.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang sneered.

"Since you are looking for death, then Wang will grant your wish."

Before his voice had faded, he decisively pointed his finger toward the man, Five-Colored Spiritual Power flickering at his fingertip.

The man's heart trembled.

He almost couldn't help but beg for mercy.

However, he endured it in the end.

The information he knew was his only capital to negotiate with the other party.

Once leaked, he would immediately become meat on the chopping block.

Only by forcing the other party to swear a Dao Heart Vow could he find a way to survive in this desperate situation.

Just as Wang Jianqiang's finger was about to touch the man's brow, it suddenly paused.

The Five-Colored Spiritual Power at his fingertip had almost landed on the brow of the man's Nascent Soul.

He slowly withdrew his palm.

"Fine, a Dao Heart Vow, is it?"

"Wang agrees to it."

"I, Wang Jianqiang, hereby swear: as long as you tell me all the information I want to know truthfully, I will spare your life; otherwise, may I be plagued by an Inner Demon."

Having finished, he glanced at the man indifferently.

"Is that enough now?"

The man's expression brightened, and he nodded, "Ask away."

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Which sect do you come from? Does Ruan Yuansheng come from the same sect as you?"

The man nodded, "Ruan Yuansheng and I both come from the Divine Fire Alliance, but I am just an ordinary Deacon of the Divine Fire Alliance, while Ruan Yuansheng is of the direct bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened, "The Divine Fire Alliance, one of the strongest hegemonic powers in the Tianhuo Domain!"

"That's right."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's grave expression, the man's expression shifted, "Kid, judging by your look, you should know the strength of the Divine Fire Alliance. If you let me go, I can pretend today's events never happened, otherwise..."

Slap~

The man hadn't finished speaking.

He suddenly received a slap to the face, his vision went black, and he was completely stunned.

It took a good while for him to recover.

"Just answer the questions honestly; why so much nonsense?"

Wang Jianqiang slowly withdrew his palm, looking at him indifferently.

The man shuddered, not daring to say another word.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze, a look of contemplation flashing across his face.

He had thought the backing of Xuanqing Palace was not simple, but he hadn't expected it to be this strong!

The Northern Territory was merely the northern region of the Tianhuo Domain, occupying less than one-fifth of the total area of the Tianhuo Domain, and it was also the most barren region of the Tianhuo Domain.

The so-called Four Great Powers of the Northern Territory were like ants in the eyes of such a behemoth.

Any expert from within their sect could sweep them away just by stepping out.

Such a powerful force was actually intervening in the struggles of the Northern Territory.

Thinking of this, his expression shifted, "Do you know Luo Yunshang of Xuanqing Palace? Why would the Divine Fire Alliance help Xuanqing Palace?"

Luo Yunshang?

The man frowned and shook his head, "I have not heard this name, but I once heard that experts from the Divine Fire Alliance discovered a peerless genius within Xuanqing Palace and brought them into the sect."

"The reason the Divine Fire Alliance is willing to help Xuanqing Palace unify the Northern Territory is because of this matter."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "How is that peerless genius doing now? Are they in the Divine Fire Alliance?"

The man shook his head, "They should be."

"Should be?" Wang Jianqiang frowned.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's dissatisfaction, the man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My status within the Divine Fire Alliance is not high; I cannot get in touch with a genius of that level. However, as far as I know, there is a Secret Realm within the Divine Fire Alliance specifically for cultivating peerless geniuses."

"After that person was brought back to the sect by the experts of the Divine Fire Alliance, there was no more news of them; they must have gone to that Secret Realm."

"As for where exactly that Secret Realm is, or whether it is within the Divine Fire Alliance, I do not know."

Wang Jianqiang nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later.

He spoke again, "Does the Divine Fire Alliance help Xuanqing Palace truly only because they are grateful to Xuanqing Palace for delivering a genius to the Divine Fire Alliance? Are there no other motives?"

"There are no other motives." The man shook his head, "Although the Divine Fire Alliance is considered a hegemon-level force in the Tianhuo Domain, it is not the only hegemon-level force in the Tianhuo Domain. The major forces are in constant dispute and are thirsty for talent."

"The genius that Xuanqing Palace delivered to the Divine Fire Alliance had astonishing talent; it is said that it even alarmed the General Alliance Leader."

"Such a merit is naturally worth the Divine Fire Alliance's assistance."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang stared straight into the man's eyes.

The man's expression was calm, without the slightest abnormality.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already answered all the questions you asked; can you let me leave now?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

The man felt a surge of joy and turned to leave.

However, the moment he turned around.

A streak of Five-Colored Spiritual Power suddenly flew over, transforming into a layer of Restriction that enveloped him.

His figure stalled.

He turned to look at Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend, do you intend to break your oath?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Daoist Friend is overthinking; I would naturally not dare to break my oath."

"Then what is this you are doing?" The man looked at the Restriction outside his body.

The smile on Wang Jianqiang's face did not diminish in the slightest, and he said in a calm tone, "When I made the oath, I said that as long as you told me the truth to my questions, I would let you leave."

"But whether your answers were truthful, I still need to verify."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the man's expression changed.

Just as he was about to speak.

Streaks of Spirit Light attacked once more.

They transformed into layers of Restriction that enveloped him.

He was already left with only his Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul had also suffered heavy injuries, making it impossible for him to resist.

Very quickly, he was completely immobilized, unable to move, and even unable to speak.

After sealing the Divine Fire Alliance envoy, Wang Jianqiang set up an Array in the surroundings.

Afterward, he took out a White Jade Ring.

His figure flashed and he disappeared.

Ding~

After Wang Jianqiang disappeared, the Jade Ring fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene.

The Divine Fire Alliance envoy's pupils constricted, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
