Cheng Ling had ordered the four of them early in the morning not to speak while they arrested several disciples. As long as you keep a close eye on them and break their psychological defenses, they will naturally tell you everything when asked later.
At first, everyone didn't believe it. There was no one who was tortured with just staring, without a few threats and fearful words, and then cutting off the fingers or something like that. Bai Yiyi was even more dissatisfied and muttered: "You know how to pretend to be a ghost, but I don't believe it. Just try it first. Then I will have to rely on you to take action!"
But who would have thought that everyone only stared at the eight people in front of them and held a stick of incense. Sweat broke out on their foreheads, and then their bodies started to tremble. Jian Yinghao had to be convinced and gave Cheng Ling a thumbs up.
Cheng Ling waited for the eight people to tremble for a moment before speaking out: "Tell me, where are you from?"
As if they had received amnesty, the eight people all exhaled loudly and said one after another: "Senior, I am a disciple of the Sword Control Sect."
"I am a disciple of the Agni Cult."
"I am also a disciple of the Agni Cult."
"I am a disciple of the Cheng family."
"I am a disciple of the Xiao family."
"I am a disciple of Jiuxiao Sect."
"I am a disciple of the Martial God Sect."
"..."
Cheng Ling counted silently, good guys, all the seven major forces are here except the Ouyang family. He nodded towards Wu Chenlong, and Wu Chenlong instantly came behind the eight unlucky children. One by one, except for one disciple of the Agni Fire Cult, the other seven were knocked unconscious.
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Now, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully. I will ask them the same questions again later. If your answers are inconsistent, I will throw you into the yellow sand again."
The disciple shivered cleverly, nodded quickly and said: "Senior, please ask, I will answer truthfully!"
"where is this place?"
"This is the secret stronghold of our Senlong Hall, which is dedicated to conducting transactions with the four major families and the three major sects."
"Senlong Hall? Who is your hall master and what is his cultivation level?"
"The hall master's name is Mu Yi, and the deputy hall master's name is Mu Ran. They both have perfect cultivation of Nascent Soul."
"Are they here?"
"The hall master is not here, the deputy hall master is here."
"Where is the lair of the Agni Cult?"
"It's in a mountain range thousands of miles south of here."
"How many people come here in the church? How often do they come here?"
"A lot of people come here. A group comes every month. They want to take away the spiritual stones here and send treasures to be auctioned."
"When was the last time you came?"
"Just three days ago!"
Cheng Ling nodded and winked at Wu Chenlong again, and Wu Chenlong knocked the disciple unconscious. Then he woke up another Agni Cult disciple.
Cheng Ling said: "Your companion has answered many of my questions just now. Now I want to confirm with you. If your answers are different, I'm sorry, I will throw you back into the desert!"
The disciple hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Senior, please ask, I will tell the truth!"
"Where is the lair of the Agni Cult?"
"It's in a mountain range thousands of miles south of here."
"When was the last time the disciples of the sect came here?"
"Just three days ago."
"What are the forces coming here?"
"Liu family, Cheng family, Xiao family, Ouyang family, Yujianmen, Jiuxiao Sect, and Wushen Sect!"
Cheng Ling nodded, and Wu Chenlong continued to knock him out, waking up another one.
Cheng Ling asked the same questions again and confirmed the personnel of the seven major forces.
Only then did Wu Chenlong knock out the last disciple.
At this time, he said: "It seems that the situation is very clear. Not one of the seven major forces is missing, and they are all involved in the conspiracy."
Jian Yinghao took a deep breath and asked: "What did Brother Cheng think of before, and what should we do?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said: "In this way, according to what the disciples of the Agni Fire Sect said before, the last person who came left the sky three days ago. From this, it can be seen that this place will be safe for at least twenty-seven days."
"Then for these twenty-seven days, we will stay here temporarily, and no one will find out. During this period, I will stop the formation, and you will enter the formation to fight with those monks to improve your strength. Don't worry, even if the formation is Stop, they are also in an illusion and cannot see other monks."
"Second, Brother Jian, hurry up and pass the news to the academy and ask them to send combat forces. The five of us alone will never be the opponent of the seven major forces."
"Third, we are waiting here for the next group of people from the Agni Cult. We will trap every one who comes. I will make sure they never come back. As long as we do it once, the senior leaders of the Agni Cult will definitely take it seriously when they see that no one has turned around. There will also be more disciples sent here.”
"By then, with our increased combat power, we can wait and ambush them on their way. We will consume a large amount of their vitality, and finally, we will completely defeat the lair of the Agni Fire Cult and complete this mission!"
Everyone praised and praised, Jian Yinghao even said "Okay!" several times, his satisfaction was palpable.
Wu Chenlong asked: "Boss, what should we do with these disciples?"
"First, temporarily seal off their cultivation and lock them in the guest room. I can still use them!"
Wu Chenlong nodded, sealed the eight people one by one, and threw them into the side room.
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Okay now. There are still dozens of Nascent Soul Dzogchen monks in the formation. If you want to go in and spar, go ahead! Don't worry, if you lose, just hide in the formation. They can’t catch up.”
The four people cheered and looked for their opponents in the monitoring array one by one. In less than a moment, everyone got into the formation.
Cheng Ling came to the side room and set up a concealment ban so that no one outside could find it and no one inside could get out. Only then did the monk who just claimed to be a disciple of the Cheng family wake up.
After the monk woke up, he looked at Cheng Ling blankly and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Cheng Ling said coldly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if you don't answer my question seriously later, you will be thrown into the yellow sand again. I will give you five breaths to think about it and answer the question truthfully. Or enter the yellow sand."
"You don't have to choose. That place is too scary. Let me answer your question!" The Cheng family disciple blurted out without hesitation.
Cheng Ling sneered in his heart, for people like you, you don't need to ask to know that you can't bear the fear of the yellow sand annihilating your cultivation. He asked: "What's your name?"
"My name is Cheng Honglie."
"What is your status in the Cheng family?"
"My father is the seventh elder of the Cheng family!"
"Do you know Cheng Xueyao?"
"Ah! Cheng Xueyao?"
"What? Say it quickly, or I will throw you back. Your cultivation will soon be annihilated by the yellow sand and eventually turn into ashes!" There was a thought in his heart. This Cheng Honglie was a little strange. He might know a lot of things. Let's cheat first. Scam him!
"I say! I say! Cheng Xueyao is the sister of the head of our Cheng family. According to blood, she is my aunt!"
Cheng Ling chuckled and squeezed out something between his teeth: "Very good, you still know that she is your aunt. Why don't you tell her how you bullied her back then!" After saying that, he patted the table on his right. case, the whole table case suddenly turned into
鑑粉.
Cheng Honglie was even more frightened and said hurriedly: "It's none of my business. It was our third uncle who forced us to do it. She refused to reveal the whereabouts of the secret book back then, so the third uncle asked us to extract a confession!"
"Hmph, you also killed the leader of the Wuxiang Sword Sect!"
"No~~, I didn't do it. It was the third uncle's order. Cheng Honggang, Cheng Hongjie and the others did it. Moreover, the old man blew himself up and died, not me!"
"Does your clan leader know these things?"
"I don't know about this. The third uncle has always been in charge. I have never met the clan leader."
Cheng Ling looked up to the sky and sighed, I found it, I finally found it! Cheng Maogong, Cheng Honggang, and Cheng Hongjie, when they were in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, they should not have let you go!
Master, don't worry, only the Cheng family is left. If the head of the Cheng family doesn't know about this, he just takes it upon himself. If there is his shadow behind the incident, then I will let the Cheng family disappear completely! As for the heads of Cheng Maogong and others, I will definitely take them all off and send them to your tomb!
He looked at Cheng Honglie coldly and asked, "Where is the joint base between the Cheng family and the Agni Fire Cult?"
"Thousands of miles east of here, there is a Xiuzhenfang City. The Qingliu Dan Shop in the city is the base of the joint."
"How strong are the disciples of the Cheng family? You don't have to play tricks on me. Since I know Cheng Xueyao, I naturally also know Cheng Maogong!"
"You...you, how do you know the third uncle's name? Who are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you now, tell me the specific strength of the Cheng family!"
"There are about hundreds of thousands of Cheng family disciples, all scattered in various places. There are about 30,000 direct disciples who are resident in the master's family, more than 20,000 are foundation-building and above, and the rest are above the golden elixir level."
"Be specific! What is your ancestor's cultivation level?"
"Yes, it is said that the ancestor's cultivation is the stage of transformation into gods. As for the specific stage, I don't know. There are more than a hundred Yuanying elders, more than 5,000 Jindan monks, and the others are below Jindan. "
Cheng Ling nodded secretly. The Cheng family was indeed powerful. There were more than a hundred Guang Yuanying monks, and the Wuxiang Sword Sect was not even worthy of carrying their shoes. If Liu Qingyan hadn't been in charge, the sect would have fallen into the hands of the Cheng family long ago.
It can be deduced from this that the strength of the other three major families should be similar. As for the sect, it will only become stronger. Right now, it's not the best time to take action, as my cultivation level is still too low. We can only wait until the academy sends reinforcements and then use their strength to eradicate the Cheng family!
There is still one month left, so use the monks in the formation to hone your combat power! Just as he was about to enter the formation and look for the monks to fight, he took two steps and stopped.
By the way, now that these monks are trapped in the formation, the wealth they have is not ordinary. Not to mention spiritual stones, there is definitely no shortage of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. How can such a huge amount of wealth be wasted.
He smiled sinisterly and sent a message to everyone, asking them to collect the storage rings of the monks in the formation. He walked into each room and started looking for treasures.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the place where the treasure was hidden. We searched the auction on the second floor and even the Ruyi Courtyard, but only found some spiritual stones.
He was greatly puzzled. According to what the disciple of the Agni Fire Cult said, someone just sent a new batch of stolen goods for auction three days ago. They must be stored somewhere. There is no way there is no trace. Could it be that they are in their deputy hall? In the Lord's hands?
He immediately returned to the guest room and searched from the monitoring array. I vaguely remembered that the deputy hall master's name was Mu Ran, and he also asked about the disciple's appearance. Soon, he saw a man in the formation wearing a black sword uniform and a high crown, it was Mu Ran.
Cheng Ling chuckled and rushed into the formation instantly, saying, "Treasure, I'm coming!"
