Bai Ze was not a kind person. He did not hesitate. He silently recited a mantra and directly placed the talisman on the woman's forehead.
Within a few seconds, the effect of the Soul-Eating Talisman began to show. The woman was shaking all over, sweating on her forehead, and let out a shrill wail.
"Ah! Stop, stop quickly!"
"I said it, I said it all!"
Seeing that the woman finally agreed to confess, Bai Ze took off the soul-eating talisman from her forehead, showing a proud expression.
"Tell me, explain everything you know clearly, don't leave anything out!"
Out of fear of the soul-eating talisman, the woman dared to say no. She nodded quickly, took a long breath, and then began to tell her experience.
"My name is Song Feiyan. I am a thief who makes a living by stealing the belongings of wealthy people. Not long ago, a mysterious man found me and asked me to steal something from Neiwutang."
"When I saw that the reward he offered was quite generous, I couldn't resist the temptation and agreed."
I asked doubtfully: "The inner five halls are heavily guarded and filled with experts. How did you sneak in?"
"The mysterious man gave me a map, which marked the terrain of the entire inner five halls, including the location and defense of the soul refining pot. In addition, he also sent two ghosts to help me. Plus, I have a good suit of armor. Qinggong, so I succeeded successfully."
So that's it. After listening to Song Feiyan's story, I finally understood why the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot were still lost despite the tight defense.
It seemed that the mysterious man knew the inner five halls very well and had made precise arrangements, so he stole the Soul Refining Pot fragments under the nose of Mr. Hu San.
In this way, the focus of our search falls on the mysterious person.
"Who is that mysterious man? After you stole the Soul Refining Pot, where did you put it?"
I continued to ask Song Feiyan.
Song Feiyan shook his head: "I don't know about this. When the mysterious man met me, he always wore a mask, only showing a pair of eyes, and hiding all his aura. I can say that I know nothing about him. "
"I also gave the soul-refining pot fragment to that mysterious man in exchange for some money. As for where he hid the soul-refining pot fragment, I don't know."
I asked, "Do you have any other information to add?"
Song Feiyan shook her head and said, "No more. I only stole the Soul Refining Pot fragments in exchange for money. I really don't know anything else. Please just let me go."
"Let you go? It's not that easy!"
Bai Ze snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Song Feiyan's answer.
After much tossing, we didn't expect that Song Feiyan didn't know anything about the mysterious person. He didn't know where the soul refining pot was. So will our clues be completely cut off soon?
"Brother Cheng, Lonnie, I guess this female snitch is not telling the truth. She must be hiding some information from us."
Bai Ze said: "I plan to take her back to the Fifth Hall for interrogation. What do you think?"
I thought for a few seconds and thought what Bai Ze said made sense.
Now that the clues are interrupted, we have no direction to continue searching for the Soul Refining Pot, and Song Feiyan is the main culprit behind stealing the Soul Refining Pot fragments. By taking her back, we can also give an explanation to Mr. Hu San.
Those old diehards in Neiwutang certainly can’t say anything.
Lonnie naturally listened to my advice, so we took Song Feiyan down the mountain and prepared to escort her to the inner fifth hall.
After descending the mountain, we headed towards the location of the Inner Five Halls.
Because it took a lot of time to go down the mountain, we were less than halfway through and it was already dark.
This place is a deserted forest, with no village in front of it, no shop in the back, let alone an inn, not even a human being can be seen.
We all suffered a lot from dealing with the snow demon during the day, so we decided to rest here overnight and wait until dawn the next day before continuing on our way.
Soon we found a pile of firewood, lit it, and took out some dry food to fill our stomachs.
During this period, Song Feiyan kept a cold face and said nothing. The temperature at night was very low. I saw that she was shivering from the cold, so I moved the bonfire next to her. When I handed over the dry food, her cheeks looked like this. He was twitching slightly, and his eye circles were already a little red.
I saw that she seemed to have something to say, so I prepared to have a good talk with her and try to get some valuable information.
But at this moment, there was a sudden clicking sound from all around.
Soon, we saw a dozen figures surrounding the bonfire.
The monsters that appeared in front of us had green faces and fangs, white fur, and long slender tails. Their strange faces looked very scary.
These monsters lay on the ground, staring at us, and made a low roar.
"White-haired mandrill!"
My mind was racing, and I quickly recognized the identities of these monsters.
The mandrill is a special kind of spirit, which is said to be transformed by mountain monkeys after eating the flesh of dead people. The white-haired mandrill is the most powerful type of mandrill.
This kind of spirit usually lives in the mountains and fields, and is full of evil nature. Once ordinary people are targeted by mandrills, they will most likely not survive and will eventually become their delicacies.
"A group of wild monsters dare to disturb this great immortal? Get out!"
Seeing this, Bai Ze transformed into his true form and showed off the aura of the Great Immortal of the Bai family.
The Wutang Immortal Family is a demon type with an orthodox tradition, and its strength and status are simply not comparable to those of mountain spirits like mandrills.
Bai Ze's roar immediately frightened the mandrills, causing them to tremble and retreat.
But at this moment, a strange sound came from not far away.
Gumi, Gumi...
This is the call of the mountain owl!
Mountain owls were known as mourning birds in ancient times, and their crows in the middle of the night were said to be an ominous sign.
In fact, there is some truth to this statement, because the mountain owl has a lot of Yin energy, and its crow in the middle of the night will cause the nearby Yin and evil creatures to fall into a state of mania, and will actively attack humans and all living creatures, causing disasters.
Sure enough, under the interference of this sound, the eyes of the mandrills instantly turned red, became extremely wild, and roared again as they approached us.
Even the two immortals Bai Ze and Lonnie couldn't stop them from stopping.
"Xiao Chengzi, keep an eye on this woman, let's deal with these monsters."
Lonnie gave me an order, then transformed into her true form, and together with Bai Ze, rushed towards the mandrills.
The two great immortals took action in person, and those mandrills were naturally no match. However, there were too many of them, and it would take some time to solve them.
For a while, Lonnie and the others no longer cared about me.
