78: Qinghua Village

“Junior Brother, not only did you investigate the Demon's information this time, but you also captured a Demon alive. I wonder if you two Senior Brothers have any way to extract information from this Demon's mouth.

If this Demon is useless to you two Senior Brothers, I will refine this Ox Demon into a Puppet!”

“Junior Brother, let's not talk about this Ox Demon for now. These Puppets you've made, you used the Human Race from this Small World to refine them, didn't you!”

Shi Qianjun didn't respond to Qin Yue's words about the Demon's disposal, but instead asked Qin Yue about the Puppets.

“Yes, Senior Brother!

These Puppets were all refined using the corpses of Bailing Sect believers.

Senior Brother, are you asking this because there are some taboos about refining Puppets from humans?”

“It's not really a taboo. In this Small World, I won't stop you from using the Human Race to refine Puppets.

However, after returning to the Holy Sect, you will need to register at the General Affairs Hall. This matter needs to be discussed by the Elder Council before it can be determined whether you can continue to use the Human Race to refine Puppets in the future.”

Qin Yue heard this and turned to look at Senior Brother Bai Jinghong. Senior Brother Bai Jinghong nodded at him. Clearly, he also agreed with Senior Brother Shi's statement.

Qin Yue had thought that refining human Puppets might touch upon some taboos of the Holy Sect, but he hadn't expected that using them in the Small World would require the Holy Sect's approval.

However, since both Senior Brothers said so, it was clear that there was indeed a necessity in this regard, so Qin Yue said nothing more.

“Understood, two Senior Brothers. After returning to the Holy Sect, I will definitely report to the Holy Sect and will not cause any trouble for you two Senior Brothers.”

After speaking, Qin Yue pointed to the Ox Demon that had been carried out, “Then how should this Demon be dealt with? Do you two Senior Brothers have any opinions?”

“Our Sword Peak only focuses on swordsmanship. When it comes to interrogation and torture, you two from Pill Refining Peak and Martial Peak are more skilled. If you have no solution, then it's up to Senior Brother Shi.”

Hearing Senior Brother Bai Jinghong say this, Qin Yue turned his gaze to Senior Brother Shi again.

“Give this Ox Demon to me. Our Martial Peak is quite good at making people suffer. I'll try to see if I can get anything out of his mouth.”

After speaking, Shi Qianjun grabbed the ox horn with one hand and dragged the Ox Demon into the Arrival Chamber, leaving only Qin Yue and Bai Jinghong outside, staring at each other.

Qin Yue waited for a while, only to hear the miserable “moo, moo, moo” sounds of the Ox Demon coming from the Arrival Chamber.

Although it was an Ox Demon, the tragic sound reminded Qin Yue of watching people slaughter pigs in the countryside when he was a child.

After a while, Shi Qianjun walked out of the Arrival Chamber, “I didn't hold back enough, and that Ox Demon couldn't take it and died!

Junior Brother Qin, go take a look. Can its corpse still be made into a Puppet? It should be fine, I didn't use too much force.”

When Qin Yue heard this, cold sweat almost ran down his forehead.

He thought to himself, “You didn't even use heavy force, and this Ox Demon was tortured to death!”

When Qin Yue entered the Arrival Chamber and saw the Ox Demon, it was indeed as Qin Yue had thought, quite miserable.

The Ox Demon had already reverted to its original form. All four of its hooves were broken, and it was a comminuted fracture, which made it difficult for Qin Yue to repair.

Qin Yue could only preserve the Ox Demon first, then go out and listen to what clues Senior Brother Shi had obtained.

“This Ox Demon is just a small fry. Although his strength is not bad in the Bailing Sect, he has never had much status in the sect because he is not very smart, and can only do some escort and guard work.

However, he confessed that the Qinghua Village you discovered is indeed a stronghold of their Bailing Sect, but it is not the headquarters. No one knows where the headquarters is.

Because their headquarters is a large Demon in the Ninggang Realm, which they call the Innate Realm. Wherever this large Demon goes, that is the headquarters.

The other Monsters don't know the exact location of this large Demon.

But it doesn't matter. We are going to eliminate all the Monsters in this Small World anyway. Since we have found Monsters in one place, we will eliminate them in that place. As long as we keep killing them like this, we will eventually wipe out all the Monsters in this world.”

After Senior Brother Shi finished speaking, he stood up and was about to set off with Qin Yue and Bai Jinghong.

Qin Yue had ten Puppets and the newly refined Ox Demon Puppet follow them. Due to Qin Yue's control, and the AFK System constantly running the Blood Qi Circulation Method in their bodies, the speed of these eleven Puppets was not slow.

“Senior Brother, you should still sit on the Ox Demon to recover from your injuries. The sooner you recover, the sooner we can find those Advent Demons and engage in a decisive battle.”

Senior Brother Bai also did not decline. He flipped onto the Ox, sat upright on the back of the Ox Demon Puppet, and closed his eyes to rest.

Qin Yue looked at Senior Brother Bai, who, even when injured and sitting on the ox's back, still maintained a graceful demeanor, and felt a bit jealous.

Why is it that as fellow Holy Sect Disciples, Sword Peak is so handsome?

“If it weren't for this System, I would have joined Sword Peak to practice swordsmanship no matter what!”

As if sensing Qin Yue's resentment, Senior Brother Shi slowed down and walked side by side with Qin Yue at this moment.

“Junior Brother Qin, how old are you? You look very young!”

Qin Yue looked at Senior Brother Shi Qianjun, who looked mature in front of him, and was a bit embarrassed to say that he was only eighteen, but there was nothing to hide about this, so he just told Senior Brother directly.

Senior Brother Shi Qianjun was indeed very surprised, and then his desire to talk diminished. After only a few words, he ran ahead again.

Looking at the Senior Brother in front whose back revealed an aura of 'don't provoke me', Qin Yue felt a little apologetic. He didn't want to hurt Senior Brother, but he couldn't deceive Senior Brother either! This really wasn't his fault!

With Qin Yue's guidance, they returned to Erlong Mountain faster than before.

They found Zuo Zijian. Fortunately, he hadn't acted impulsively and had honestly waited here for the past two days, without alerting the enemy.

Looking at Zuo Zijian's anxious and waiting expression, Qin Yue felt a little ashamed.

He had placed all his hopes on Qin Yue, but Qin Yue could not guarantee the safety of his wife and children.

Earlier on the way, Senior Brother Shi Qianjun had already planned the upcoming siege of Qinghua Village.

Shi Qianjun would lead the main attack, breaking through the stronghold from the front to attract the attention of the Demons in Qinghua Village.

Qin Yue would be responsible for working in the shadows, gradually eroding the effective forces of Qinghua Village.

Although Bai Jinghong was injured, he was only unable to participate in Ninggang Realm battles. Dealing with Liquid Transformation Realm Demons was still easy for him, so he was mainly responsible for finding and fixing gaps, setting up defenses on the periphery, and trying to prevent any Bailing Sect Demon or cult member from escaping Qinghua Village.

According to the plan, Qin Yue first infiltrated Qinghua Village in the dark, waiting for the right moment to launch a sneak attack.

However, after waiting and waiting, for some reason, Senior Brother Shi Qianjun did not launch an attack. Qin Yue had infiltrated too far into Qinghua Village and could not know what was happening at the front gate of the stronghold.

Originally, Qin Yue had decided to remain still, but Qin Yue unexpectedly heard news of Zuo Zijian's wife and children.

After all, Zuo Zijian had some merits and provided information about Qinghua Village. As long as it was possible, he still didn't want Zuo Zijian's expectations to be dashed.

So, he followed the direction provided by a small Demon's casual chat and arrived at the underground of Qinghua Village.
