Chapter 179: I Will Personally Interrogate the Prisoners!

The sky was blue and the day bright, with not a single cloud for ten thousand li.

Or rather, there should have been clouds, yet they had been utterly swept away by that single sword strike just moments ago, revealing the vast and magnificent spectacle above the firmament.

Yet at this moment, no one cared.

Compared to the brilliant sun and sky, everyone's gaze was instead fixed on the sword light of the 【Abi Sword】 in Lu Yang's hand, feeling nothing but a bone-chilling coldness.

As Lu Yang's gaze swept around, everyone involuntarily held their breath; time seemed to freeze in this instant, and even Duobao Tongzi, who had just been filled with resentment and eager to kill him, now showed nothing but speechless panic on his face.

Lu Yang did not speak.

The crowd remained silent.

"Splash, splash!"

The clear sound of rain broke the silence; every drop was formed from the shattered dharma body of Fishing Dragon Weng, a heavy rain that entirely merged into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

A glance revealed surging spiritual tides.

It was as if even this patch of heaven and earth was cheering for him, clustering around the young man in the dark robe standing with his sword, before whom all other True Persons faded into insignificance.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light flashed across the sky, steaming with five colors and ten hues; it was none other than the figure of Five Elements True Person, who, without even looking back, vanished from the battlefield.

Only at this moment did the others understand why Five Elements True Person had dared to volunteer as the rearguard; it was because he still possessed a talisman specifically for escaping, yet now, facing Lu Yang's gaze, he was so frightened and enraged that he did not even dare to engage, directly activating the talisman to flee!

'How can we fight this!'

Five Elements True Person knew his own situation best; if he had been in Fishing Dragon Weng's position just now, the best outcome would have been leaving behind a wisp of his soul!

'Mid-stage Foundation Establishment at perfection, equipped with superior magic treasures, an innate divine ability that seems capable of suppressing others' divine abilities, and a本命 divine ability that can manipulate thoughts... The Demon Sect is truly shameless! How could they let such a person out? Which True Lord's direct disciple has come to 【Qing State】 to polish their credentials?'

'Bastard!'

While cursing furiously in his heart, Five Elements True Person fled at top speed, and as for what he had said earlier about volunteering for the rearguard, it had long been thrown to the nine heavens.

I am a Jiangbei demonic cultivator under the rule of the Holy Sect.

As everyone knows, I do not keep my promises!

And once Five Elements True Person fled, it was as if a switch had been flipped; in the blink of an eye, Duobao Tongzi and the others, who had just been huddled together, scattered like birds and beasts!

Everyone was running away!

However, Yinshan True Person had been waiting at the perimeter for some time, and beside him, Hanxiang and another valiant woman at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment simultaneously moved to intercept.

The other Jiangbei True Persons at the early stage of Foundation Establishment also charged forward one after another in ecstatic joy, for to them, this was simply merit falling from the heavens!

At the same time, Lu Yang exhaled deeply, recovering his strength.

Just now, he hadn't remained silent to show off; it was simply that his full-power strike to kill Fishing Dragon Weng had consumed too much of his magic power, which had not yet recovered.

He had no choice but to remain silent and pretend to be a high expert.

To be honest, he had already prepared to use the 【Hundred Conquering Fuwei Dark Robe】 to withstand a siege, but he had not expected this group to be so frightened out of their wits by him.

"Jiangdong rats..."

Lu Yang shook his head, and the 【Abi Sword】 in his hand emitted an extremely excited sword hum, as infinite sword light surged within it, revealing a mystical aspect:

【Human Butcher】!

Fishing Dragon Weng's death benefited this mystical aspect beyond imagination; as the sword master, Lu Yang could clearly feel that since Fishing Dragon Weng's Dao foundation was of the Water element, from now on, the 【Abi Sword】 that slew him would exert three parts more suppression over all things of the Water element!

"Perfect time to test its quality..."

Lu Yang's gaze shifted, immediately locking onto a fleeing streak of遁 light; judging by its form, its Dao foundation should also be of the Water element, making it perfectly susceptible to his suppression!

Thinking this, Lu Yang immediately raised the 【Abi Sword】.

"Besides stabbing, slashing, and other offensive uses, a sword can also serve as a medium for casting techniques; using the 【Abi Sword】 to unleash Dao methods actually provides some enhancement."

The next second, a brilliant light rippled across the blade.

"【Imperial Mountain Moving Righteous Method】!"

Lu Yang shouted the incantation, his voice rolling like thunder; almost everyone heard his sound, yet the next second, everyone's遁 light suddenly sank!

It was as if a massive mountain had been pressed upon their bodies!

This was the characteristic of the 【Imperial Mountain Moving Righteous Method】: upon hearing the chanting of the spell, one immediately bore the weight of mountains and rivers, making the dharma body difficult to move!

Among them, Fairy Fairy Yunhe of the Pancloud Sect looked the most haggard; for some reason, she felt that the opponent's Dao method weighed especially heavily upon her!

Clearly, her 【Heavenly Union Cloud Water Dao Foundation】 was the utmost softness within yin, best at using an opponent's force against them and dispelling disasters, yet now, encountering Lu Yang's Dao method, it was as if soft silk around a finger had met tempered steel, leaving her with no way to begin. Thinking this, she could not help but sweep her spiritual sense toward Lu Yang's direction.

Then she saw Lu Yang slowly forming hand seals.

The next second, Fairy Fairy Yunhe's beautiful eyes froze at the very instant terror emerged. Her red lips parted, as if they could fit an egg inside.

This was the characteristic of the 【Imperial Mountain Moving Righteous Method】: upon seeing the hand seal movements, one's heart immediately bore the weight of a heavy mountain, and thoughts ceased to turn!

Finally, Lu Yang pointed with his sword.

Fairy Fairy Yunhe's body was instantly covered in a layer of earth-gray color; mud gushed from her seven orifices, and in an instant, she was transformed into a lifelike clay figurine.

"Boom!"

The clay figurine fell, taking root upon the ground; countless earth and stones converged, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a small hill, connecting with the earth pulse and binding together.

Only a muffled groan from Fairy Fairy Yunhe remained between heaven and earth.

Witnessing this scene, the other True Persons ran even faster, daring not to linger for a moment, fearing that the next person pointed at by Lu Yang and sealed would be themselves.

As for Lu Yang, he held the 【Abi Sword】 inverted and lightly landed on the peak of the small hill formed from Fairy Fairy Yunhe.

A little over half an hour later.

This grand pursuit finally came to a halt; Yinshan True Person returned first, dragging along a middle-aged man who looked haggard and whose vital energy was withered.

The ancestor of the Zhaoxia clan, Xia Weiming.

He had been the first injured by Yinshan True Person's surprise attack, and with a mark planted on his body, he had nowhere to escape, thus being captured alive by Yinshan True Person.

Besides him, another immortal clan ancestor, the Foundation Establishment True Person of the Yuanchen clan, Chen Anze, had also failed to escape.

"What about the others?"

"Just these; three people escaped." Yinshan True Person smiled: "Especially that Duobao; I deliberately let him go and ordered no one to pursue him."

Lu Yang nodded: "That person is relatively stupid; he should be let go."

Such stupid people on the opposing side are actually good teammates for us; they cannot be killed casually, otherwise, what if the other side replaces them with someone smarter?

"And the remaining two?"

"They are Five Elements True Person and a sword cultivator; Five Elements True Person was simply fast, while that sword cultivator should be from the Upper Profound Sword Sect, with backing from the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, and also possessed a life-saving treasure, making him difficult to catch." Speaking thus, Yinshan True Person chuckled lightly: "But regardless, this battle can be called a great victory!"

"Should we press our advantage and pursue?"

"No rush."

Lu Yang shook his head: "This time they came out to fight us; we are on home ground. If we pursue them, it will become a fight on their home ground."

"Bring all the captives over; I will personally interrogate the prisoners!"

"Interrogate?" Yinshan True Person paused upon hearing this: "Among the captives, there are two men and one woman; as for the woman, never mind, I know Senior Butian Peak has a secret method for dual cultivation..."

But what about the men?

"Rest assured, I have my own methods."

Lu Yang waved his hand, then took Fairy Fairy Yunhe and the two immortal clan ancestors back to Gaizhu Mountain, found a great hall, and began preparations.

He took out the Myriad Souls Banner and summoned Chen Chen Xinan.

Immediately after, Lu Yang picked up Fairy Fairy Yunhe and said, "I will trouble myself a bit and interrogate her personally."

After speaking, he pointed at the two immortal clan ancestors on the ground, formed hand seals, and cast a strand of 【Heavenly Mother Transforming Birth Mysterious Light】, then said to Chen Chen Xinan:

"These two are left to you."

Chen Chen Xinan: "..."
