Chapter 575: Still Prefer Your Defiance

The pressure of a Golden Core realm burst forth from Sunlight Rising True Person, pressing down on Jade Star Cold like a tangible force.

Sunlight Rising True Person knew that with the absolute gap brought by this realm, there was no need for extensive interrogation methods; simply grinding him down with pressure over time would be enough to break the Foundation Establishment student's spirit.

By then, whatever he asked, the other would answer, and with some additional interrogation techniques, he could even make the other say whatever he wanted.

In other words, with the advantage of a major realm gap, Sunlight Rising True Person believed that as long as he had the chance, there was nothing he couldn't extract.

However, this matter was of great importance; starting with pure interrogation techniques would too easily give others leverage, and Sunlight Rising True Person was unwilling to do so.

But things had come to this; failing to detect the Dual Rest Virus on Jade Star Cold, Sunlight Rising True Person knew there was no turning back.

Yet Jade Star Cold's mouth was tougher than Sunlight Rising True Person had imagined, and his will firmer than anticipated.

He understood that without resorting to some methods, he probably wouldn't be able to pry the other's mouth open.

"Yuqing," Sunlight Rising True Person said calmly, "disconnect the spirit realm covering this room for a moment."

Cloud Rain Clear paused slightly, looked at Sunlight Rising True Person, and hesitated, "Captain..."

Sunlight Rising True Person frowned, "Why aren't you going?"

After Cloud Rain Clear left, Sunlight Rising True Person continued releasing his Golden Core pressure, pressing down on Jade Star Cold like waves.

Watching Jade Star Cold's forehead constantly dripping cold sweat and his face growing paler, Sunlight Rising True Person said coldly, "Jade Star Cold, don't harbor any illusions. The Dual Rest Sect issue is a major problem that the school's three Nascent Soul cultivators are all concerned about. The spread of the Dual Rest Virus at the Civil Engineering Department's construction site was already a focus of ours..."

Jade Star Cold said, "I'll wait until Director Gao arrives."

Sunlight Rising True Person's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of malice crossing his mind, but no matter what he said next, the other only gave that one answer.

Sunlight Rising True Person thought to himself, "Why isn't Cloud Rain Clear done yet? What is she doing?"

He sent her several messages, but they all vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, with no response.

Just as Sunlight Rising True Person felt something was wrong, he received a message from his direct superior, Enlightening True Lord.

Enlightening True Lord: Come to my office.

Sunlight Rising True Person: Director, I am interrogating Jade Star Cold.

Enlightening True Lord: Stop the interrogation and come immediately.

Enlightening True Lord: Don't make me come get you personally.

Sunlight Rising True Person sighed inwardly, "Trying to get things done... why is it so difficult?"

He gave Jade Star Cold a deep look, stood up, and left without a word.

When he entered Enlightening True Lord's office, he was surprised to see Zhang Yu sitting opposite Enlightening True Lord.

Seeing this, Sunlight Rising True Person had an even worse premonition and immediately used his eye skeleton to contact the outside.

At the same time, Enlightening True Lord skillfully brewed a cup of spiritual liquid tea for Zhang Yu and said with a smile, "...I go way back with your master. We were from the same batch of Golden Cores. But back then, she was peerless, while I was just a nobody among those Golden Cores."

Zhang Yu sighed, "No matter how dazzling or remarkable, a Golden Core is still just a Golden Core. You were hiding your talents back then. How many of those Golden Core True Persons back then achieved the accomplishments you and my master have today?"

Listening to their conversation, Sunlight Rising True Person's face grew increasingly dark. He opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Enlightening True Lord nodded with a smile and asked, "How's the tea?"

Zhang Yu took a sip and exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent tea. The quality of the spiritual liquid inside is too high. I've never had such good tea."

Enlightening True Lord's smile widened, and he said casually, "Nature-borne water from my hometown. Young people these days are always taking pills; not many still enjoy tea. If you like it, I'll give you some to take away before you leave."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is it that young people these days don't love tea? It's that they damn well can't afford it."

While listening to their conversation, Sunlight Rising True Lord was rapidly thinking of countermeasures. To him, the scene clearly indicated that Enlightening True Lord was siding with Magnetic Pole True Lord, siding with Zhang Yu.

The thought that a mere Foundation Establishment student, not even a Golden Core, could become a guest of honor to an Infant Soul True Lord just by having a good master, and even hinder the enforcement work of the inspection team, filled Sunlight Rising True Person with indignation.

Meanwhile, Enlightening True Lord was completely clear-headed, because in his report to the school's head, Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord, he had already confirmed the head's stance.

Understanding this, he felt that his subsequent response was like having a strategy guide or x-ray vision; he didn't have to worry about making mistakes.

"It's not that the head wants to deal with Magnetic Pole True Lord," Enlightening True Lord thought to himself. "On the contrary, the head wants to help Magnetic Pole True Lord."

Enlightening True Lord wasn't sure of the reason, only guessed it had something to do with the Nascent Soul Spiritual Body Project.

He thought to himself, "Is the head thinking of copying from Nectar Divine Lord?"

At this moment, True Lord Qiming, as if just remembering True Person Xuyang, glanced at him and said calmly, "Xuyang, have the test results for Yu Xinghan come out yet?"
