Chapter 654: Torture and Interrogation: The True Face of the Profound Cloud Sect

Lin Xuan's cultivation base had already stabilized at the mid-stage of the Transformation Stage, several times stronger than just a moment ago.

Moreover, with the further awakening of his bloodline, his combat instincts had also become much sharper.

"Hahaha..."

Lin Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice filled with pleasure.

Every time he killed an enemy, he would reveal a satisfied smile.

That kind of pleasure from the bottom of his heart made both Nezha and Zhang Wuji feel like strangers to him.

Was this still the Lin Xuan they knew?

"No... impossible..."

Su Yun hid in a corner, his whole body trembling.

He had originally thought that by relying on a numerical advantage, he could easily take down Lin Xuan.

But now it seemed that it was entirely his own wishful thinking.

Lin Xuan's current strength had already surpassed everyone present.

Continuing to fight would only lead to more of his accomplices throwing their lives away.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Su Yun shouted.

"Quick! Notify the sect and request reinforcements!"

The remaining black-clad cultivators heard the order and immediately scattered to flee.

But how could Lin Xuan let these people go?

With a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared in front of the fleeing cultivators.

"Want to escape? Did you ask me first?"

He threw a punch, and three cultivators were blown apart on the spot.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, a sight too horrible to look at.

He wove through the fleeing crowd like a ghost.

Wherever he passed, someone was bound to die.

In just a few short minutes, dozens of elite cultivators were all killed.

Only Su Yun remained alive.

"Save... save me..." Su Yun scrambled backward desperately.

"Lin Xuan, we can negotiate terms..."

"Negotiate terms?" Lin Xuan sneered as he walked toward him.

"Weren't you very arrogant just a moment ago?"

"Talking about how the mission was complete and you were going to close the net?"

"Why aren't you saying anything now?"

Seeing the murderous intent in Lin Xuan's eyes, Su Yun fell into total despair.

He tried to run, but he had only taken two steps before Lin Xuan grabbed him by the neck.

"Don't be in such a hurry to die." Lin Xuan lifted him up.

"I still have some questions to ask you."

As he spoke, he slammed a palm onto Su Yun's dantian.

"Ah!"

Su Yun let out a miserable scream, and the true essence within his body instantly dissipated.

Hundreds of years of cultivation were crippled by a single palm.

"Now, I ask and you answer," Lin Xuan said coldly.

"If you dare to lie, I will make you wish you were dead."

Su Yun collapsed onto the ground, no longer having the strength to resist.

"What... what do you want to know?"

"What exactly is the relationship between the Profound Cloud Sect and the Blood Demon Sect?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Why target me?"

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, wanting to hide the truth.

But Lin Xuan stepped directly onto his palm.

"Crack!"

All the bones in his hand shattered, and Su Yun rolled on the ground in pain.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" He no longer dared to hide anything.

"The upper echelons of the Profound Cloud Sect were infiltrated by the Blood Demon Sect long ago!"

"What?" Nezha said in shock.

"Isn't the Profound Cloud Sect a righteous sect?"

Su Yun gasped in pain: "On the surface, yes, but in reality..."

"The Sect Master, Qing Yunzi, has long been practicing the demonic arts of the Blood Demon Sect."

"The entire Profound Cloud Sect has become a vassal of the Blood Demon Sect."

"They specialize in collecting various bloodline geniuses for the Blood Demon Sect."

"Possessors of the Creation Bloodline like you are the targets we dream of most."

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

The Profound Cloud Sect had a good reputation in the Upper Realm and was regarded by many as a model of the righteous path.

To think they are actually lackeys of the Blood Demon Sect!

"What else is there?" Lin Xuan continued to ask.

"Why does the Blood Demon Sect want my bloodline so much?"

"Because... because the Creation Bloodline can be used to refine the Blood God Pill," Su Yun said, trembling.

"This kind of Pill can allow a cultivator's strength to advance by leaps and bounds."

"It can even help a cultivator at the Great Vehicle Stage break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

"Sect Master Xue Tutian has been stuck at the Great Vehicle Stage for thousands of years."

"He urgently needs the Creation Bloodline to break through his bottleneck."

After hearing this, the killing intent in Lin Xuan's eyes grew even thicker.

So in the eyes of these people, he was merely raw material for a pill.

"Very well, I understand."

He slowly stood up, his gaze toward Su Yun filled with murderous intent.

"Wait!" Su Yun hurriedly shouted.

"I have even more important intelligence!"

"The Blood Demon Sect doesn't just want your bloodline!"

"They are also plotting an even bigger conspiracy!"

"What conspiracy?" Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks.

"Xue Tutian has discovered an Ancient Relic," Su Yun said.

"It is said that the inheritance of the God of Creation is buried there."

"But the relic has a powerful Seal, and only the Creation Bloodline can open it."

"So they don't just want your bloodline, they want you as a person!"

"To make you go and open the relic, and then seize the inheritance of the God of Creation!"

Hearing this, the expression on Hunyuanzi's face became extremely grave.

"The relic of the God of Creation? How is this possible?"

"It is absolutely true!" Su Yun said hurriedly.

"The relic is deep within the forbidden grounds of the Blood Demon Sect."

"Xue Tutian has been preparing for thousands of years just to find the possessor of the Creation Bloodline!"

After hearing these words, Lin Xuan's heart was filled with raging fire.

These people didn't just want his life; they also wanted to use him to open some relic.

What a well-calculated plan!

"Thank you for your intelligence," Lin Xuan said coldly.

"Now you can go and die."

"No! I have already told you all the secrets!" Su Yun shouted in despair.

"You promised not to kill me!"

"When did I ever promise that?" Lin Xuan retorted.

"I only said I wanted to ask you questions, I never said I would let you go after asking."

As he spoke, he stepped on Su Yun's head.

"Crack!"

Su Yun's skull exploded like a watermelon, and red and white matter splattered all over the ground.

But there was no change in expression on Lin Xuan's face, as if he had merely stepped on an ant.

"Lin Xuan!" Nezha couldn't help but shout.

"You've changed! You've really changed!"

"The old you would never slaughter the innocent like this!"

"Slaughter the innocent?" Lin Xuan turned his head to look at him.

"They want my life and want to use me; is this called innocent?"

"Nezha, you are still too naive."

"In this world, kindness is merely a sign of the weak."

"A true powerhouse should solve all problems with iron-blooded means."

Zhang Wuji also stepped forward to advise: "But what you are doing is too extreme."

"You will make many enemies."

"Enemies?" Lin Xuan sneered.

"Since the Qingyun Sect chose to betray, they must bear the corresponding consequences."

"I have decided to attack the Qingyun Sect overnight and completely eradicate this hypocritical sect."

"What?!" Nezha and Zhang Wuji exclaimed at the same time.

"Are you crazy? The Qingyun Sect is a major sect of the Upper Realm!"

"There are thousands of disciples inside, as well as many Elders at the Transformation Stage!"

"How could you possibly defeat them alone?"

"Whether I can defeat them or not, I'll know once I try," Lin Xuan said indifferently.

The bloodline power within his body was boiling, craving more slaughter.

He just wanted to find a place to vent the rage in his heart now.

And the Azure Cloud Sect is the best target.

"Lin Xuan, I beg you to calm down." Nezha grabbed his arm.

"If you do this, you will cause the deaths of many innocent people."

"Those ordinary disciples know nothing; why must you implicate them?"
