72: Zuojiazhuang

When Qin Yue arrived at the Zuo Family, most of the Zuo Family members were already asleep; only the main house was still hosting guests.

Qin Yue listened in the banquet hall for a while, found it was just a regular business dinner, and didn't pay much attention, instead going to places like the master's study to see if he could find any clues.

Upon reaching the study, Qin Yue quickly flipped through things but found no clues.

He even found a hidden compartment in the study but only found some silver notes and account books.

"Is the Zuo Family hiding things this well?"

"No, I can't alert them at the Zuo Family. Since I haven't found any clues, I shouldn't meet anyone from the Zuo Family.

In any case, with Zuo Family Estate as a definite target, I should start there first."

With his target set, Qin Yue restored the study to its original state, snuck out of the Zuo Family, and headed towards Zuo Family Estate outside the city.

Ten li was only a few minutes for Qin Yue. Soon, Qin Yue arrived outside the gates of Zuo Family Estate.

Qin Yue didn't enter Zuo Family Estate directly. Instead, he activated Super-Sense Mode outside the gate to first probe what kind of place Zuo Family Estate was.

When Qin Yue's Super-Sense Mode focused on probing Zuo Family Estate, the entire farm was within Qin Yue's perception.

After Qin Yue clearly investigated the scene inside Zuo Family Estate, he knew he had come to the right place. This was definitely a stronghold of the Bailing Sect, and the Bailing Sect was certainly related to demons.

Because Qin Yue discovered that guarding the granary was actually a Great Demon.

After discovering this Great Demon, Qin Yue hesitated: should he take down this Great Demon now, or should he guard it and see if he could catch an even bigger fish?

In the end, he decided to act now. He preferred to catch fish with a net and didn't have much time for fishing.

Qin Yue slowly infiltrated Zuo Family Estate, approaching the demon. He stopped when he was a hundred meters away from the demon and began to release his poisonous Qi Gang.

At this moment, Qin Yue envied the other Senior Brothers of Pill Refining Peak immensely. The poisons they carried had various wonderful uses, but most of them had the ability to induce drowsiness.

If they encountered this situation now, they could use poison to knock out everyone on the periphery and then deal with the demon.

But Qin Yue couldn't. Although his Super-Sense Pill could also control others, the consciousness of others remained extremely clear. Once Qin Yue released the Super-Sense Pill to control the peripheral minions, those minions would make noise, waking up the demon.

The penetrative power of Qi Gang was indeed incomparable to the Blood Qi liquid of the Liquid Transformation Realm. Qin Yue's Qi Gang penetrated into the Great Demon's body without waking it up.

So Qin Yue turned around to use Qi Gang to control the peripheral personnel.

It wasn't until one person, perhaps startled awake from a dream, found their body uncontrollable and screamed.

This scream woke up everyone nearby, and as more and more people woke up, more and more people started yelling, until finally the entire estate, including the demon, was awakened.

But they woke up too late. As they yelled, Qin Yue planted Super-Sense Pills on everyone in the estate. Everyone struggled on their beds and on the ground, wanting to get up but unable to.

Qin Yue used Protective Aura to grab the people controlled by the Super-Sense Pill, bringing all of them to the square where Zuo Family Estate dried grain, including the demon. The entire estate, except for this square, had no one left.

Qin Yue stood on the high platform, overlooking the group of over five hundred people, including the demon, below.

Qin Yue had noticed when he was scouting outside that there were no children in the estate, which was actually very abnormal. In a farm like the one Qin Yue's original body was born in, there were over a hundred young people just practicing martial arts.

Even if this farm was a bit smaller, it was impossible for there to be no teenagers or children at all.

Looking at so many people, Qin Yue didn't know where to start interrogating, because if all of these were Bailing Sect believers, Qin Yue knew he wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.

He had seen the Demon King's followers in the Demon Realm. Given their willingness to sacrifice their own spirits, Qin Yue didn't believe he could threaten them with anything to reveal the demon's secrets.

Qin Yue could only use his Protective Aura hand to grab the demon placed in front of everyone.

This Great Demon was a bull demon, and from its fur, it looked like an ordinary domesticated old yellow ox.

Qin Yue used his Protective Aura hand to grab the yellow ox demon onto the high platform, then released its Super-Sense state.

The bull demon was originally mooing, because in Super-Sense state, the demon couldn't even control making sounds, so Qin Yue couldn't understand what it was saying at all.

The moment Qin Yue released the Super-Sense state, a barrage of curses entered Qin Yue's ears. This old ox looked Silly (simple-minded) in build, but unexpectedly it knew so many curses; he didn't know where it learned them.

The bull demon was also very surprised to hear its own curses. It then realized that the state of muscle and sensory confusion on its body had been lifted.

It quickly flipped over and stood up, lowering its head and charging at Qin Yue with its horns.

This bull demon was only equivalent to the Liquid Transformation Realm. Qin Yue certainly wouldn't be afraid of its charge. He simply used his Protective Aura hand to grab it into the air, preventing the bull demon from exerting force, leaving it only able to rage helplessly in the air.

When the bull demon had struggled enough, Qin Yue threw it down. Seeing the bull demon get excited again, he grabbed it. After grabbing and throwing it like this more than a dozen times, the bull demon finally stopped struggling and began to lie flat.

"Why aren't you cursing anymore? Keep cursing! Keep moving! I love watching you struggle repeatedly yet be powerless!"

When the bull demon heard Qin Yue say this, it flipped over and started cursing again, then was lifted into the sky by Qin Yue and thrown down again. After being thrown a few more times, the bull demon completely settled down and no longer spoke, no matter how much Qin Yue mocked it.

"You don't want to play anymore, do you? Then tell me some basic information about the Bailing Sect!

What is your position in the Bailing Sect? How many Great Demons does the Bailing Sect have?"

The bull demon lowered its head and remained silent, playing dead on the ground.

Qin Yue didn't force him. He just slapped him unconscious, then turned to the five hundred-plus people below and said, "Does anyone know the answer to this question? If someone provides the answer, then they will be spared death today."

After speaking, Qin Yue released the Super-Sense state of everyone below.

The very next second after Qin Yue released it, everyone got up from the ground, shouting slogans to protect the spirit god and surged towards Qin Yue like a zombie horde.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yue simply waved his hand, and steel needles pierced through the brains of the believers rushing towards him.

Like wheat swept by a hurricane, the people below the high platform fell to the ground, leaving fewer than ten people standing motionless in a daze.

Qin Yue sighed deeply, "Alas..."

"I gave you a chance, why didn't you cherish it? Is faith really that important?"

After speaking, he waved his hand again, selecting a middle-aged man dressed relatively well from the remaining eight people, and grabbed him from the crowd onto the high platform.

"What should I call you?

Why are others willing to die for their faith, but you are not?

You are not loyal to the Bailing Sect!"
