Chapter 580: Flowing Mist Flying Light

~16 min read 3,003 words

"Did the Grand Master send you to deal with me?"

This was the first question Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit asked after being released by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin slowly shook his head, "Conveniently."

"Conveniently?"

Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit looked stunned, "Cutting off an eighth-tier Army Lord of mine was just convenient?"

"Then what else do you want? Didn't it succeed?"

"That's true."

Marquis Chai Ce gave a bitter smile, "Was the Fire Cloud Star Domain broken by you? Was Star Official Zhu Wenhai also slain by you?"

Xu Jin nodded, and the bitter smile on Marquis Chai Ce's face grew thicker, "The Grand Master hides deep enough. It seems he suspected me very early on."

"You military leaders are not easy to move lightly."

Hearing this, Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit showed a look of recollection, "That's true. In the past two years, Chen Guo has changed too much. In the past, it was impossible without me, but now, it seems there is no major impact without me."

"What is your relationship with the Worship Battle Divine Sect?" Xu Jin asked.

The reason he asked, instead of directly using Dream Warmth for interrogation, was mainly because many secrets might have divine soul seals, so he interrogated first.

"Why should I tell you?" Marquis Chai Ce sneered.

Xu Jin also sneered.

Amidst the sneer, Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit first twitched, and then couldn't help but scream, as Xu Jin directly activated the erosion.

After torturing for a full quarter of an hour, Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit began to scream loudly, and Xu Jin slowly stopped.

"Can you say it now?" Xu Jin sneered.

Marquis Chai Ce, who looked miserable, laughed, his smile comparable to a fierce ghost, "This bit of torture is nothing. My bones haven't even loosened up yet. Come again."

A strange look flashed in Xu Jin's eyes.

He looked like a tough guy.

After another quarter of an hour, just as Xu Jin stopped, Marquis Chai Ce's fierce laughter rang out, "Why stop? Come again, continue, not enough!"

Xu Jin frowned, but didn't continue.

Since Marquis Chai Ce's will was like iron, there was no need to waste time. He would just use Dream Warmth for interrogation; at worst, he would make this scoundrel's soul fly away and scatter.

However, before the forced interrogation, Xu Jin still wanted to try.

"Marquis Chai Ce, the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader can't see you suffering such pain, right?

He is far away in the Eight Desolations Continent, and even less likely to come save you.

Your persistence like this is meaningless, right?" Xu Jin said.

"Who said my persistence is for the Worship Battle Divine Sect?" Marquis Chai Ce sneered.

"Isn't it?"

"Each takes what they need."

"Is colluding with Wei Xu of the Blood God Sect also each taking what they need?"

"Naturally, otherwise, how could I break through to the eighth tier?"

"So, after you took what you needed, you were also loyal to Chen Guo? Have I wronged you a bit?"

Marquis Chai Ce didn't speak, and after a long while, he said, "If a man is not for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him."

"I have no patience left," Xu Jin said coldly.

"Give me a chance, I want to see the Grand Master," Marquis Chai Ce said suddenly.

"Reason?"

"I can let the Grand Master take over the Profound Tiger Army completely without bloodshed." After finishing, Marquis Chai Ce added, "You don't understand military affairs, but the Grand Master definitely does.

If I die, even if the Grand Master and Commander Mao come in person, don't even think about taking over the Profound Tiger Army peacefully."

Xu Jin pondered for a few breaths and said, "That's not enough."

"For the rest, I will only say it when I see the Grand Master.

Otherwise, you can continue, anyway, I am already a person who must die," Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit laughed.

It had to be said that Marquis Chai Ce still persuaded Xu Jin.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin returned to Yangdu Battle City.

Only Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu was there, and the ten thousand elites of Yangdu Battle City had already stabilized.

Commander Mao Yue was not seen.

But Xu Jin also saw that there were dozens more heads on the drill ground.

It should have been a forced suppression.

After seeing Xu Jin, the Grand Master looked worried, "The Profound Tiger Army on the front line already knows about the Army Lord being slain, and Commander Mao has personally rushed over to suppress it."

"Grand Master, was I too hasty?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuexiu shook his head, "On the contrary, you did very well, and the handling speed was extremely fast.

Otherwise, war would have already broken out by now.

Before the great war, cutting off the threat of Marquis Chai Ce is a good thing."

Xu Jin then handed Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu.

On this point, Marquis Chai Ce didn't lie to Xu Jin.

He put forward two conditions.

First, his reputation after death.

Second, the military personnel and relatives of his Chai clan, the Grand Master could deal with as he pleased, but he asked the Grand Master not to pursue crimes against the Chai clan members outside the military, and not to harm the Chai clan members without cause.

The price was that he would personally issue an order to the generals of the Profound Tiger Army and appoint a new Army Lord according to Cheng Yuexiu's orders.

Let Chen Guo take over the Profound Tiger Army at the lowest cost.

At the same time, answer all questions, hand over the Sumeru space, and then die quickly.

Of course, he required Cheng Yuexiu and Xu Jin to swear a Great Dao oath to the conditions he agreed to when he triggered his primordial spirit.

Without too much hesitation, Xu Jin and Cheng Yuexiu swore the Great Dao oath according to Marquis Chai Ce's requirements.

Sumeru space and the like, he could get them even if he killed him.

The key was to take over the Profound Tiger Army without loss, which was too important.

There were quite a few Chai clan members in the Profound Tiger Army, all of whom were loyalists. If they incited trouble, it was hard to say how many would remain in the Profound Tiger Army.

But a river of blood was inevitable.

Seeing that Cheng Yuexiu and Xu Jin had both sworn the Great Dao oath, Marquis Chai Ce didn't talk nonsense and directly took the Star-Plucking Token to contact the troops on the front line and explained.

He was killed after being deceived by the traitorous Star River Battlefield Great Marshal Wei Xu.

"Grand Master, the successor of the Profound Tiger Army, I will arrange it now, it should be able to take over smoothly," Marquis Chai Ce asked.

Hearing this, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu suddenly looked at Xu Jin.

This Domain-Suppressing King Xu Jin was still a bare-bones commander.

"He can't do it for the time being."

Marquis Chai Ce flatly refused, "The Profound Tiger Army is spreading rumors that the Domain-Suppressing King killed me. If he goes, it will only trigger contradictions. I have led troops for these years, and I can be considered to have methods.

It is best to promote from within the Profound Tiger Army."

"How about Yuchan?" Xu Jin said.

"That's good, then Ning Yuchan," Cheng Yuexiu nodded.

Marquis Chai Ce was stunned, then laughed, "Not bad, this girl is not bad. Braver than me, decisive in killing, good at leading troops, and has brilliant battle achievements. Her prestige in the army is also high enough.

With her taking over the Profound Tiger Army, it won't bury the Profound Tiger Army, and I have no worries."

A few breaths later, Ning Yuchan was promoted on the spot to Deputy Army Lord of the Profound Tiger Army, in charge of all military affairs of the Profound Tiger Army, and the military order was passed to the whole army under Marquis Chai Ce's general order.

In less than half an hour, Commander Mao Yue sent an urgent message that with the cooperation of Marquis Chai Ce's military order, he had brought Ning Yuchan to appear and had already successfully taken over the Profound Tiger Army. Currently, they had already begun to reorganize on the spot.

And within this half hour, Xu Jin and Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu also asked everything they could ask.

Marquis Chai Ce was truly knowing everything and saying everything.

Marquis Chai Ce's identity also came out.

Hidden World True Lord of the Worship Battle Divine Sect.

He had contact with the Four-Phase True Person of the Worship Battle Divine Sect, and had also had contact with the leader of the Worship Battle Divine Sect, but they were not familiar, and he had never met him.

"Marquis Chai Ce, do you know the true identity of the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader?" Cheng Yuexiu asked.

"I don't know." After finishing, Marquis Chai Ce pondered for a few breaths, "A few years ago, when he asked me to help him transport a large number of Worship Battle Divine Sect believers to a certain star domain, he contacted me personally. I feel that I know nothing about him, but he is very familiar with me."

"Very familiar? What do you mean? Does he know your intelligence?"

"No!

It's not that kind of familiarity.

I feel that he has seen me."

"Seen you?" Cheng Yuexiu was stunned, "Are you saying that he also has an identity in the present world?"

"I'm not sure, but in the ten years since I contacted him, he should have been in a certain star domain, but he is just very familiar with me. He even knows my preferences and cultivation situation when I was in the Imperial Capital Dachen Wan Yi," Marquis Chai Ce said.

Cheng Yuexiu was stunned, "Your situation when you were in the Imperial Capital Dachen Wan Yi, how many years ago was that?"

"Grand Master, I have been in charge of the Profound Tiger Army for seventeen years, and I have been in the Star River Battlefield for twenty-five years," Marquis Chai Ce recalled.

"Twenty-five years ago, someone who knew you?" Cheng Yuexiu frowned. This scope was too wide.

"Are there any other clues?"

"Let me think."

"Among the large amount of materials they transported to the star domain through me every year, there is one thing that has been there every year for the past ten years."

"What is it?"

"Flowing Mist Flying Light."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuexiu showed a stunned expression, while Xu Jin was completely confused; he didn't know what this was at all.

"It seems the Grand Master already knows. Are there any other questions? If not, send me on my way?" Marquis Chai Ce laughed.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu pondered, "Marquis Chai Ce, if you are willing, with your late-stage primordial spirit cultivation, I can help you find an eighth-tier corpse and let you resurrect by borrowing a corpse.

But it requires you to accept divine soul control and serve Chen Guo on the front line."

Because of many transactions with the Worship Battle Divine Sect, Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit cultivation was actually extremely strong, stronger than Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu.

Late-stage primordial spirit.

Xu Jin instantly understood Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu's meaning.

This was to let Marquis Chai Ce resurrect by borrowing a corpse and let Chen Guo have another eighth-tier expert to serve.

Hearing this, Marquis Chai Ce smiled and shook his head in refusal.

"Why?"

"Grand Master, having seen the ultimate scenery of this world, you want me to fall back into the mud, and it's the kind without any hope. I am not willing.

Come on, give me a quick end," Marquis Chai Ce laughed.

A few breaths later, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu turned sideways and nodded to Xu Jin.

Just a thought, Soul-Eroding Spirit Lock erupted in an instant, and Marquis Chai Ce's primordial spirit disintegrated into ash.

A breeze blew by, and there was no trace left.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin couldn't help but ask, "Grand Master, what exactly is Flowing Mist Flying Light?"

Cheng Yuexiu glanced at Xu Jin, as if recalling, "Have you heard of the best wine in Chen Guo Dachen Wan Yi, Flowing Mist Drunk?"

"I have heard of it."

"But the Flowing Mist Drunk on the market is not the best. The special Flowing Mist Drunk supplied to the Imperial Palace is also known as Flowing Mist Flying Light."

"Does the Grand Master mean that the true identity of the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader is related to the Chen Guo Imperial Family?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuexiu slowly shook his head, "The Chen Guo Imperial Family no longer has such a figure.

However, my teacher loved Flowing Mist Flying Light the most back then. I often held his hand order, either to the Imperial Palace or to the Flowing Mist Winery to get Flowing Mist Flying Light for my teacher to drink."

Xu Jin was stunned and stared fixedly at Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu, "Does the Grand Master suspect that the former Grand Master is the current Worship Battle Divine Sect leader?"

"No."

Cheng Yuexiu shook his head again, "My teacher died of serious injuries in front of me."

"Then this is useless."

"It is useful."

"Back then, my teacher had a drinking buddy who also loved Flowing Mist Flying Light, and only drank Flowing Mist Flying Light every time. Every time my teacher drank, he drank with him."

"Who?"

"Spirit Record Star Hall Hu Hu Dianzhu Sima Qu!"

Xu Jin was stunned.

Countless questions welled up in Xu Jin's heart. The true identity of the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader seemed to be about to be revealed.

Because the Worship Battle Divine Sect was best at collecting divine soul power, and the Spirit Record Star Hall was also best at divine soul secret techniques; it could be said that they complemented each other.

The timeline also matched.

The possibility was extremely high.

It was just that twenty years ago, the Spirit Record Star Hall was killed and had its buildings and halls sealed, trapped in a small world unique to the Spirit Record Star Hall and unable to come out.

Then was the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader someone else?

Or was it that Spirit Record Star Hall Hu Hu Dianzhu Sima Qu had already come out?

Also, if the Worship Battle Divine Sect leader was really Spirit Record Star Hall Sima Qu, then how strong would this Sima Qu be?

The Worship Battle Divine Sect had collected a massive and pure amount of divine soul power, and the Spirit Record Star Hall itself had the Clear Soul Star Pattern, and the Spirit Record Star Hall also had the secret technique for fifth-tier primordial spirits to break through to the sixth tier.

This...

Compared to Marquis Chai Ce's straightforwardness, Wei Xu, who had the Blood-Drop Divine Pattern to rely on, was incomparably stubborn.

Just after releasing his primordial spirit from the Sumeru space, he started cursing endlessly.

All kinds of foul language were sprayed, making Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu frown.

Of course, Cheng Yuexiu also saw his purpose.

Just seeking a quick death.

Of course, he wouldn't let him have his wish.

In a situation with no other way, he could only use Dream Warmth for interrogation.

However, during Dream Warmth interrogation, there was a possibility of touching certain divine soul seals at any time, causing his primordial spirit to collapse directly.

Xu Jin also told Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu about his previous speculation.

"You promised to give him a quick end, and he would rather suffer torture than voluntarily hand over the Sumeru space?

Are there heavy treasures in the Sumeru space?"

Cheng Yuexiu pondered for a few breaths after hearing this, "How about we cooperate. The Sumeru space must have a divine soul origin aura connection at all times; if not, it will become an ownerless object.

His blood-drop resurrection, from death to resurrection, takes at least a few breaths of time.

As long as the action is fast, we should be able to pull out his Sumeru space."

"Can do."

"Then you do the pulling. Your divine soul cultivation is stronger than mine, and your experience in this area is also richer than mine. I am responsible for the interrogation. As long as there is any abnormality, you pull it out immediately," Cheng Yuexiu said.

Xu Jin was ashamed to hear this. What did he mean by his experience in this area being richer? It sounded like he specialized in sweeping other people's Sumeru spaces.

"I'm starting."

The next instant, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu activated Dream Warmth and began to interrogate Wei Xu in his dream.

Xu Jin was fully activating the Bright Record Star Pattern, sensing the abnormal changes within a thousand meters. As long as a Sumeru space imprint appeared, he could pull it out at the first opportunity.

Sixty breaths later, the primordial spirit of Wei Xu, who was being interrogated, suddenly showed an inexplicable look of relief. At the same instant, the primordial spirit began to disintegrate inch by inch.

At the same instant, Xu Jin, who discovered the abnormality, fully activated his primordial spirit divine sense.

In just one instant, he sensed a Sumeru space imprint emerging.

He pulled with all his might at the first opportunity.

Half a breath later, the imprint of Wei Xu's Sumeru space was pulled out.

Xu Jin's expression also relaxed.

At the same instant, Xu Jin cast his divine sense into Wei Xu's Sumeru space that had just been pulled out.

The moment he cast it in, Xu Jin's eyes widened suddenly.

Big goods!

In Wei Xu's Sumeru space, there really were treasures!

The kind that were worth a city!
