153: Speak or die
Tianji Star's face turned ugly: "Little friend, are you joking?"
Ten Beyond Mortal Cultivation Techniques? Do you think Beyond Mortal Cultivation Techniques are cabbages?
Once one steps into the Transcendent Realm,
the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.
Breaking free from the Realm of Mortals, not only will one's strength undergo earth-shattering changes, but their Lifespan can also reach a thousand years.
And ten of them?
The highest Cultivation Technique in the entire Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall is the Supreme Realm; more profound ones require a large amount of contribution points to exchange at the main headquarters.
As for taking Chu Jiang to the Demon Lord's lair, that's even more ridiculous.
The Earth Fiend Hall and the Demon Lords are in a period of cooperation; as a Hall Master of the Earth Fiend Hall, if he were to take a Demon Suppression Guard to the Demon Lord's lair,
the cooperation would instantly collapse.
It's not conducive to the Earth Fiend Hall's millennium plan.
Absolutely impossible.
Moreover, Demon Lords, except when they gather various Advanced Demon Lords for important meetings, usually hide deep in the mountains the rest of the time.
There is no true lair in the proper sense.
"Then what use are you to this Seat?!"
"Execute!"
Chu Jiang's eyes were filled with extreme coldness, and the hundred-meter Ice Dragon's tail swept horizontally, emitting a deafening roar.
"Little friend, let's talk..."
Tianji Star's pupils constricted; he was powerless to resist.
But the difference between the two sides was simply too great.
Only a 'crack' sound was heard.
Before Tianji Star could finish his words, his Supreme Realm Divine Soul clone was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture and fell into Chu Jiang's hand. He did not die.
He was merely Sealed within the ice.
"I'll give you one last chance: where is Lord Zhenfu?" Chu Jiang squeezed the ice crystal, as if Tianji Star's answer, if it didn't satisfy him,
would immediately lead to his demise.
"Little friend, if I tell you, can you let me go?" Tianji Star's Soul miniature trembled within the ice.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to give up this Divine Soul clone.
His main body was already severely injured from suffering a backlash due to his deductions; once this Divine Soul clone was destroyed, his injuries would become even more severe.
Chu Jiang's voice was cold and extremely chilling: "You have no choice... either speak, or die!"
Tianji Star sighed. Now, he was the fish on the chopping block and Chu Jiang was the butcher, Chu Jiang controlled the absolute power.
"Little friend, Ye Lingkong was merely driven into the third layer of the Tai Xuan Secret Realm's desolate land by us using an ancient remnant array, trapping him inside!"
Chu Jiang's brow slightly raised: "The Tai Xuan Secret Realm in Si Province?"
Tianji Star: "Exactly. Although the Tai Xuan Secret Realm has not yet opened, we know of a loophole in it."
"Every eighty-one years, there will be a three-day window period where one can enter the Tai Xuan Secret Realm directly without going through the main entrance!"
The Tai Xuan Secret Realm is an ancient Secret Realm. The lowest Realm to enter the first layer is the Vajra Realm.
The second layer is extremely dangerous; even a Great Grandmaster entering it can only barely survive and dare not go deep.
As for the third layer, that is a place of great peril; anyone below the Beyond Mortal Realm who enters it will surely die.
They had planned for decades to wait for this day.
Tianji Star did not mention sending Ye Lingkong into the third layer, otherwise, this Divine Soul clone of his would surely die.
Chu Jiang's mouth curved slightly upward, suddenly revealing a strange smile: "You're called Tianji, so you should know a bit of heavenly divination. Do you want to calculate whether you live or die?"
Tianji Star: "Little friend, I've already said everything I needed to. Shouldn't you keep your promise and let me go?"
"I guarantee that the Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall will be well-behaved and law-abiding from now on!"
It just so happened that he was suffering from a backlash from heavenly secrets and needed a considerable amount of time to recuperate. Even if he hadn't encountered this variable, Chu Jiang, the Earth Fiend Hall would have been quiet for a while.
They would regroup and make a comeback.
"Master, can this old fellow be given to me?" The little white creature standing on his shoulder suddenly spoke, a look of delight on its face, and it couldn't help but lick its lips.
"Take it!"
"This old fellow is yours!"
Chu Jiang casually threw the ice miniature to the little white creature on his shoulder.
Seeing this strange beast, Tianji Star knew it wasn't up to any good and anxiously shouted, "Chu Jiang, you said you'd let me go!"
Chu Jiang sneered: "When did this Seat ever say I'd let you go!"
When dealing with enemies, being erratic is the truth; what nonsense promises? Did he ever say such a thing?
The little white creature's claws held the ice miniature, letting out strange cackles, and then suddenly took a big inhale.
"No... Damn it!"
"Stop it!"
"Stop..."
Tianji Star's Supreme Realm Divine Soul clone let out a shrill scream, feeling his Supreme Realm Soul Power being absorbed by the little white creature bit by bit.
His Soul body was becoming transparent.
His aura continuously declined.
Until the end.
Even his screams became intermittent and weak.
Ninety percent of the Divine Soul clone's Supreme Realm Soul Power was drained, leaving him in a near-death state.
In contrast, the little white creature was radiant, its aura surged, and its Soul Power directly broke through to the Peerless Grandmaster level.
"Master, I need to pee!" The little white creature said playfully.
"Get lost!"
Chu Jiang's mouth twitched; he naturally understood what it wanted to do.
The little white creature, holding the ice miniature, flew down to the ground.
It found a random spot, lifted its hind leg, and a golden-yellow liquid shot out like an arrow, landing precisely on the Divine Soul clone's head.
Only a sound was heard.
Whoosh...
Tianji Star, however, was unable to move at this moment, only able to feel the nauseating liquid penetrate the ice and seep into his Soul.
His eyes suddenly widened, and flames of rage burned intensely, but his Soul had long been drained, and his voice became weak and trembling: "Ah... You stinking monkey! How dare you humiliate me like this! When I break through my confinement, I will surely tear you to shreds!"
No matter how good Tianji Star's composure usually was, he could not endure such an extreme humiliation at this moment. This was a blatant act of shitting on his head.
He was a Hall Master, after all, with a renowned reputation, yet one day he was peed on by a stinking monkey.
Subsequently.
The little white creature took out a golden rod from its treasure pouch, aimed at the Sealed ice Divine Soul clone, and swung the rod down fiercely.
Only a crisp 'crack' was heard, and the ice miniature shattered in response, and Tianji's Divine Soul clone also vanished into thin air.
Just at the moment Tianji Star's Supreme Realm Divine Soul clone was destroyed.
Thousands of miles away.
An old man dressed in a black Daoist robe suddenly spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, and his Supreme Soul Realm weakened by a third.
His injuries, which had just begun to recover, immediately deteriorated sharply.
"Damn Chu Jiang, damn stinking monkey... cough cough... I swear I will kill you!!!" Tianji Star let out a miserable curse, his entire body turning into a bloodied mess.
Since he had entered the Dao, he had never suffered such great humiliation. Being ridden on and shat upon—who could endure that?
"Lord Hall Master, what's wrong with you?!"
Tianji Star's miserable cries instantly alarmed the people outside the hall; several Elders rushed in, worried something had happened to him.
The Old Sect Leader was trapped.
This acting Hall Master, he wouldn't be gone just a few days after taking office, would he?
Had the position of Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall Master become a high-risk profession?
"Get out, all of you get out!"
Tianji Star was furious; his mood was like a volcano erupting, jumping up and down.
"Lord Hall Master, we shall withdraw!"
The Elders were puzzled, not knowing what kind of fit this Tianji Hall Master was having. Damn it, the Old Sect Leader was better.
When the Earth Fiend Hall Master was in charge, he never scolded them and even gave out rewards every month, making everyone full of drive.
Since Tianji Hall Master took office, he just knew how to rush them every day, asking why the Demon Lord experiment progress was so slow.
Then he stopped several projects that the Old Sect Leader had favored, saying they had no prospects, and prioritized his Demon Lord projects.
...
Qian Jue Mountain Range.
The Demon Suppression Guards on the ground couldn't help but gasp, unable to recover for a long time.
In a short moment, he had slain the hordes of demons.
He suppressed the rebellious faction, executed the Demon Lord, and killed the previous Old Sect Leader of Myriad Sound Valley.
A Human Demon at the Peak of Peerless Grandmaster, even if he self-destructed, couldn't threaten him in the slightest; instead, he was suppressed and killed with a raised hand.
The Supreme Realm Divine Soul clone was even like a toy in his hands.
There was a sense of unreality.
As the saying goes, 'turning hands into clouds and covering hands into rain'—it must be referring to such a person.
Huangfu Chen secretly rejoiced.
Their Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division had truly found a treasure this time; Chu Jiang's Breakthrough into the Transcendent Realm was inevitable.
Once he entered the Transcendent Realm, he would be considered a top expert in the entire Western Seven Provinces, revered by all.
Commander Xing: With a Prodigy like Chu Jiang in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, its status would likely soar, and its influence would greatly increase.
Everyone reacted differently.
After Chu Jiang dealt with all the enemies, he landed on the ground.
He looked at Commander Zuo and Shen Commander.
His pupils constricted.
