Chapter 2074: I've Got This Sect in the Bag

The one-eyed strong man racked his brains but had no impression of the name Dao One Immortal Sect.

Is there such a sect within the Immortal Realm?

Looking at Hong Zun and his companions, whose faces were bruised and swollen, the one-eyed strong man gritted his teeth and said.

"What a load of crap, Dao One Immortal Sect—are you trying to scare me?"

After a harsh interrogation, the one-eyed strong man finally confirmed that Dao One Immortal Sect was actually a newly established sect, located on the outskirts of the Wuji Mountain Range.

Seeing that Hong Zun and his group didn't seem to be lying, the one-eyed strong man bent down, leaned close to Hong Zun, and sneered.

"You just said you're an elder of Dao One Immortal Sect, right?"

"Yes, I am indeed an elder of Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Good, then you said the gate of Dao One Immortal Sect is on the outskirts of the Wuji Mountain Range, correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

This time, Xu Jie standing nearby nodded repeatedly.

The three of them naturally could not reveal the sect's true location to these bandits.

Instead, they told the location of the town where Ye Zhangqing and his group were.

As for the strength of the people in that town, Xu Jie could say he knew it all too well.

As long as those bandits dare to go there, they're basically seeking their own death.

By then, I, Old Three Xu, will definitely knead these scoundrels flat, roll them round, flatten them again, and roll them round again.

Let them know why the flower is so red, otherwise I can't vent the anger in my chest.

But who would have thought? The moment his voice fell, the next second, Xu Jie was greeted with a resounding slap.

"You.................."

He only felt his head buzzing instantly, his whole body dazed; after a moment he came to, then immediately glared at the one-eyed strong man.

You scoundrel, you've truly invited your own death.

His eyes were bloodshot, but facing Xu Jie's angry glare, the one-eyed strong man didn't care at all; instead, he wore a mocking smile.

"You little brat, with your pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, deer head and mouse eyes—you're obviously a habitual liar. Do you think you can fool me?"

Having said that, the one-eyed strong man delivered another heavy slap, his eyes full of a wise look.

You haven't even grown all your fur yet, and you want to fight me?

After taking two slaps, Xu Jie felt dizzy, but the killing intent in his heart grew ever stronger.

If I don't kill this guy in this lifetime, I, Xu Jie, swear I won't be considered human.

But for now, a wise man knows when to yield; after being slapped twice, Xu Jie chose to stay silent.

Temporary endurance is nothing; being able to bend and stretch makes a true man.

As for that, the one-eyed strong man paid no more attention to Xu Jie, turning his gaze to Zhao Zhengping and grinning.

"Is everything this old guy said true?"

"Absolutely certain, old man...................."

Slap.

"You...................."

Hong Zun had just nodded, also wanting to lure these bandits to the town, but just like Xu Jie, as soon as he opened his mouth he got a heavy slap.

The slap landed on Hong Zun, bringing tears streaming down his face and making his head spin.

After regaining his senses, he glared angrily just like Xu Jie.

Meeting Hong Zun's gaze, the one-eyed strong man sneered.

"That's your disciple, right?"

As he spoke, he jerked his chin at Xu Jie, then still wore a look of wisdom and confidence.

"As the saying goes, 'If the beam is not straight, the rafters will be crooked.' Your disciple is a natural-born little liar; being able to teach someone like him shows you're also an old cheat, surpassing the rest—do you think I can believe you?"

Having said that, without waiting for Hong Zun's reply, he lashed out another slap.

Hong Zun's teeth clenched, making a creaking sound; "Good, good, good—you've invited your own death; I, old man, will surely kill you in this lifetime."

The master and disciple both chose silence, leaving only Zhao Zhengping to face the one-eyed strong man's questioning.

At this moment, the one-eyed strong man turned his head, no longer paying attention to Hong Zun and Xu Jie, but smiling as he asked Zhao Zhengping.

"Among the three, I think you're the most reliable—come on, tell me, are they telling the truth?"

"Yes.........."

Slap.

"As expected, the master and his three disciples are all liars."

"You.............."

Slap.

Zhao Zhengping also took two slaps; after the one-eyed strong man had beaten the master and his two disciples, he then approached Hong Zun again, gently patting his old face and smiling.

"Forget it—I don't care whether your master and disciples are telling the truth or not. This way, you contact the sect's people and have the sect send a few disciples to pick you up—how does that sound?"

Going straight to the sect would be too risky; the one-eyed strong man felt he wasn't that stupid and wouldn't do something like walking into a trap.

So he decided to become the net himself, letting whoever from that Dao One Immortal Sect come and get caught.

As for that, Hong Zun naturally refused, but facing this situation, the one-eyed strong man was clearly experienced.

Under various methods and with the lives of Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, these two disciples, used as threats, Hong Zun eventually gave in.

Moreover, during the transmission process, the one-eyed strong man naturally monitored everything the whole time, and with one hand he was gripping Xu Jie's neck.

If Hong Zun uttered a single wrong word, he would without hesitation crush Xu Jie's neck.

Out of concern for Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping's lives, during the transmission process Hong Zun dared not play any tricks or harbor ulterior motives.

After all, he only has these few disciples, each of whom he has long regarded as his own, like family.

Don't look at how the master and disciples usually bicker like chickens flying and dogs jumping; their feelings are absolutely genuine.

I just hope the Senior Brother notices something odd, and be a bit smarter.

He secretly thought, but once the formation was connected, the person appearing on the other side was not Qi Xiong but Shi Song afterwards, and Qi Xiong's heart turned cold halfway.

The Senior Brother might still notice something wrong, but Shi Song's words—he's such a stubborn blockhead, basically there's no hope.

The one-eyed strong man beside them glared tigerishly; Hong Zun had no choice but to grit his teeth and repeat the other's demand.

He only said that something had happened on the road, hoping Shi Song would send a few disciples to meet them, and then he gave the address.

As for Shi Song, upon hearing Hong Zun's words, he nodded without even thinking.

"Good, I'll arrange it right away."

As his words fell, with the formation being cut off, Hong Zun's heart turned cold.

As expected, Shi Song's performance remained steady, not disappointing Hong Zun in the slightest, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

Seeing Hong Zun so honest and straightforward, the one-eyed strong man only released Xu Jie after the formation was cut off, then smiled and said.

"Not bad, it seems you really care about these two disciples; indeed, the master-disciple bond is deep."

"Exactly, exactly, you see our master-disciple relationship is like father and son; how about this—you're just after money, so let me go, I'll leave my two disciples here, I'll return to the sect to fetch treasures for you, then come to ransom them; this way nobody is in danger, what do you say..................."

Hong Zun hurriedly spoke, but before his words even fell, a slap sounded again.

Hong Zun was struck dumb again, and the one-eyed strong man sneered.

"Old swindler, always trying to cheat me—you say you're fat and yet you're panting? Let you go, and then you'd still be able to come back?"

Hong Zun's killing intent grew a bit stronger; you bastard, your courting of death has reached perfection, to the ends of the earth, I, Hong Zun, will surely kill you.

No, killing you would be too lenient; I, Hong Zun, will refine you, hang you from the roof beam, and make you wish you were dead.
