The battle did not last long.
To be precise, it was not a battle, but a one-sided arrest operation.
In that scene, a group of old ladies and old men waved their arms and legs, accompanied by some spiritual effects of earth-shattering and stormy winds. The piece of land floating in the air could explode twenty times.
If it weren't for Master Liu's loud shout to leave some survivors for interrogation, the underground ruined palace and the Ten Calamities Palace inside would have turned into rubble along with this "big cake".
Afterwards.
Hundreds of weak Ten Calamities Palace members were imprisoned and thrown onto the beach.
Hundreds of Ten Calamities Palace members who had a cultivation level higher than the Heavenly Immortal realm and survived this time were now collected in a bottle by Master Liu.
The bottle could hold living beings and refine them into blood, which was Master Liu Bairen's precious treasure.
Wu Wang, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi, along with two Lin family generals and Mao Aowu, who finally gained some presence, were searching for useful information in the ruins.
When this piece of land was thrown into the sky, it was cut into two sections by the Transcendent experts, and the lower section was flipped and covered the upper section, which was a fishing village.
-The hundred households in the fishing village had been rescued by the Renhuang Pavilion when they started their actions and were now taken to a distant place by the Heavenly Immortals. The Renhuang Pavilion had arranged for their future livelihood.
There were indeed many things in these ruins.
Wu Wang's left hand, hidden in his sleeve, formed a shape of five claws and absorbed the scattered Evil God's power in the air, searching for the most precious thing in the Ten Calamities Palace.
Evil God's blood.
Mao Aowu suddenly shouted, "Master! I found something here!"
The group immediately flew over and looked at the upside-down gate that was not crushed, identifying the plaque at their feet.
Lin Qi said, "Treasure Vault, no entry for idle people?"
"This is it!"
Wu Wang narrowed his eyes, Mao Aowu understood, and immediately wanted to kick the door;
Unexpectedly, several streaks of light flashed, and the others had already circled around to the back of the door, looking at the collapsed rock layers.
"Please collect all the bottles and jars here as evidence for Master Liu to study the secrets of the Ten Calamities Palace later."
The two Lin family generals immediately agreed and wrapped the rock layers in their immortal power, slowly pushing them into the air.
Mao Aowu took several storage treasures and flashed into them, and the treasures kept flashing with light as he stored the items.
Wu Wang, with sharp eyes, saw several well-preserved "wine jars" and captured the fluctuations of divine power inside, revealing a warm smile.
The harvest this time would definitely be substantial.
"Don't let go of any corners and crevices. Treasures are usually hidden in those concealed corners."
Mao Aowu laughed, "Master, don't worry! I know how to search a house!"
The group of experts sitting in the air showed a knowing smile.
Suddenly, they heard Master Liu's vigorous shout from the side, "Escaped? You let such a big fish escape?!"
"Master, I used the Cold Light Thirteen Swords at that time. It's a sword technique I've been pondering for twenty thousand years. It can be called a divine ability. I cut that guy into three pieces, and even shattered his primordial spirit, but I still couldn't find him!"
"What's the matter?"
Liu Bairen stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the middle-aged Taoist in a tall hat and crane robe in front of him, "This Master scolds you a few words, and you're not satisfied! Did you lose it?"
"Master! No, Master, I mean, let's talk it out! Otherwise, I'll go to Emperor Renhuang to complain!"
"Oh, you dare to go to Emperor Renhuang to complain! If you don't believe it, this Master will punish you today!"
The Master was about to hit him, but the elegant middle-aged Taoist turned and ran. The two of them chased each other on the beach, making all kinds of noises.
In the end, the middle-aged Taoist, who clearly had superb body techniques, was still caught up by Liu Bairen and pressed to the ground, beaten without using any magical power.
"What's wrong with taking the blame for the Master? What's wrong with taking the blame for the superior?!"
"Why are you so stupid? How can I promote you like this? How can I trust you?"
"What's the use of your Cold Light Thirteen Swords? Can it peel the Evil God? Let me teach you a sword technique!"
After a while, Liu Bairen, grumbling, walked towards Wu Wang, and the middle-aged Taoist could only cry.
Liu Bairen spoke, "Master Wuwang, come with me. I have something to ask you."
Wu Wang agreed, and just as he took a few steps forward, he turned his head and looked at Ling Xiaolan, who was standing quietly in the air, and shouted, "Fairy, come over too. Maybe you can help a lot."
"Okay," Ling Xiaolan was somewhat uninterested but did not refuse. Her skirt fluttered as she landed beside Liu Bairen.
Wu Wang's eyes showed a little anticipation.
Liu Bairen waved his hand, and the vast immortal power enveloped Wu Wang and Ling Xiaolan, heading towards the sea, finding a small island nearby as their landing point.
Wu Wang asked, "Master, how is the realm above Transcendent divided?"
"Hehe, this is a big question. Don't aim too high."
Liu Bairen laughed, "It was set by Emperor Fuxi, and the realms above Transcendent cannot be publicly announced to non-Transcendent individuals. The main reason is to avoid undermining the confidence of cultivators.
To make a name for oneself in the Great Wasteland, Heavenly Immortal is the threshold, and Transcendent can attract the attention of the gods."
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at this remote small island and landed directly in a small clump of dense forest.
Wu Wang immediately said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I will have someone send hundreds of jars of North Wilderness' fine wine later!"
"I helped you this time because of your great achievements today. Do you think I'm greedy for your wine?"Liu Bairen set up a barrier and muttered, "Remember to pack two portions, don't let anyone steal my drink."
"No problem!"
Liu Bairen looked around like a thief and took out a bottle radiating with immortal light. He carefully shook it a few times and threw out a half-dead black shadow from inside.
Ling Xiaolan frowned and hid behind Wu Wang.
Wu Wang glanced ahead and saw that the person was covered in fine scales, resembling a gecko turned into a spirit, as if a green snake had ruined its appearance.
After careful sensing, Wu Wang said, "He's the one who invaded the Mysterious Female Sect."
Ling Xiaolan immediately rushed out from behind Wu Wang, her face pale, but she tightly gripped her sword and stared at the evil person.
"What do you want with this guy?" Liu Bairen asked, puzzled.
Wu Wang's left hand was covered in a layer of golden scales as he whispered, "The bloodline of these evil gods from the Ten Calamities Palace can nourish my transformation."
Liu Bairen:...
"Why are you even more sinister than the Ten Calamities Palace!"
"There's nothing embarrassing about becoming stronger."
Wu Wang laughed, his body covered in golden scales. He pressed his left hand on the head of the second elder and took a gentle breath.
Ling Xiaolan and Liu Bairen watched silently, feeling somewhat nervous. They didn't know what strange scene would unfold.
Inhale—exhale—
This was not a still image.
After a moment.
Wu Wang calmly retracted his left hand, lowered his head, and looked at the evil person, wondering, "Why is there no reaction?"
Liu Bairen almost slipped, but Ling Xiaolan stood firmly.
Wu Wang muttered, "When I fought against the evil person from the Ten Calamities Palace before, I could directly absorb their divine power by pressing here. Why doesn't it work this time?"
"His bloodline power is more advanced," Liu Bairen scolded impatiently, "He should be a divine child cultivated with the essence blood of the evil god. Naturally, he can't be compared to those ordinary fish who use ordinary evil god blood.
Wu Wang:...
For some reason, he didn't really want to be lectured by this guy.
Forget it, just treat it as "asking for advice."
"Lord Sect Master, how do we absorb him?"
The Renhuang Pavilion's Lord tilted his head and calmly said, "How would I know? I cultivate immortality, not this."
Wu Wang almost rushed forward to have a physical fight with this guy, giving him the same treatment as Emperor Shen Nong!
Why were both this father-in-law and his subordinates so difficult to deal with!
Ling Xiaolan said, "Just ask this person."
Wu Wang said, "I suggest we first confine his divine soul and separate it from his body."
"No problem," Liu Bairen, with his somewhat rich appearance, smiled faintly. He pointed his finger in the air, and a weak black mist flew out from the person's forehead.
Wu Wang took out a crystal ball and sucked the black mist into it. Inside, a small figure similar to the second elder's appearance condensed.
To be safe, Liu Bairen placed a restriction on the crystal ball to prevent the divine soul from escaping.
"Fairy, it's your turn."
"Okay," Ling Xiaolan calmly replied. She took the crystal ball and her fingers began to draw complex symbols.
Before long, screams echoed above the small island, frightening the fish and shrimp in the sea to flee.
Wu Wang kept covering his eyes, while Liu Bairen, the Lord of the Renhuang Pavilion, praised her expertise.
"Fairy, let him have a chance to speak. If it doesn't work, use some medicinal power to nourish his divine soul."
"Alright," Ling Xiaolan calmly agreed and continued to draw the talisman.
...
Wu Wang spent more than an hour on the deserted island until the surging blood energy in his body subsided and the golden scales all over his body disappeared. Then, together with Ling Xiaolan, he was brought back to the "first crime scene" by Lord Liu.
The second elder's corpse had already been burned by a fire.
It was useless now, as the divine power in his body had been completely stripped by Wu Wang, and his divine soul had been directly destroyed by Lord Liu. There was nothing left but ashes.
On the way back, Ling Xiaolan's mood suddenly brightened. There was a faint smile on her lips as she twirled a strand of hair around her finger.
She whispered, "Were the initial nine divine children of the Ten Calamities Palace all this difficult to deal with?"
Wu Wang couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hand.
Difficult to deal with definitely didn't refer to the interrogation process!
"We gained a lot this time, it was an unprecedented breakthrough."
Lord Liu sighed, "Thanks to Xiaolan's intervention, we have learned a lot of information, but the Ten Calamities Palace is also quite cunning.
The main halls in different places are not related to each other and never communicate with each other. They only gather in temporarily selected locations for discussions, using only special means of communication.
As they say, a clever rabbit has three burrows. The Ten Calamities Palace is definitely more than just three hiding places."
Wu Wang said:
"The words of the second elder just now and his previous account of his past with Wan Cai Dao can basically match up.
The nine divine children were divided into pairs and separated in the northern border of the Human Realm. By controlling people's hearts and using the evil god blood they carried, they established four underground organizations, each maintaining independence. They are collectively referred to as the Ten Gods Palace and the Ten Gods Sect.
By destroying this place, we can also make the other three places behave for a while."
Ling Xiaolan said, "Didn't that thief say that the third main hall should be in the southeast realm?"
Lord Liu sighed, "That place is not like the Human Realm, it's generally chaotic. I really can't imagine how much influence the Ten Calamities Palace has developed there."
Wu Wang smiled and said, "We'll deal with the third main hall after the Northern Beast Tide is over."
"We're here."Liu Gezhu whispered, "This second elder was caught up by us and finally burned by my true fire. Only a trace of soul remains. Remember, this is the explanation we give to the outside world."
After speaking, Lord Gezhu flicked his sleeve and the three of them descended from the sky.
There were also many Renhuang Pavilion immortals who came to support on the beach below.
Before they landed, someone shouted, "Lord Gezhu! There is a big fish here! Wancai Daoren!"
Wu Wang and Liu Gezhu's spirits were lifted, and they quickly descended from the sky.
A broken water pool lay on the beach like a stone coffin, with a middle-aged Taoist lying inside. Due to severe loss of blood and energy, this person had no color on his face and exuded a sense of weakness.
Wu Wang slightly sensed the bloodline fluctuations of the Evil God, which were at the same level as the second elder.
At this moment, he didn't feel any desire in his body. After all, he had just had a satisfying meal, and too much divine power would make him uncomfortable.
Seemingly sensing something, the Taoist struggled to turn his head and looked at Wu Wang with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
The real Wancai Daoren whispered, "Is it you? The newcomer from the Human Realm who angered the father of the Hissing Snake?"
"She also annoyed me," Wu Wang replied calmly.
Wancai Daoren smiled but didn't say much about this matter. He sighed, "Ah, give me a good death. There's no need to ask me anything. The second elder won't betray anyone. Even if he tortured me like this, I won't do the same."
Liu Gezhu chuckled, supporting his belly, "That guy spilled the beans. He said everything he shouldn't have said. I also searched his memories a bit, and they all match up."
Wu Wang continued, "You two will form pairs and establish four main halls. One main hall will be located outside the Human Realm, and the main route for transporting the blood of the Evil God will mainly rely on the merchant group. Each main hall will be independent and unaware of each other's locations. The meeting place for negotiations will be designated at the last moment. There are sixteen underground palaces underground, which are used for high-level gatherings of the Ten Calamities Palace...
Do you have anything else to add?
But this person seems to be quite good to you. He didn't mention anything related to you.
No, it's not right. Could it be that he has a grudge against you and wants us to torture you?"
Wancai Daoren widened his eyes in shock, "He actually betrayed his fathers?"
"Don't overestimate the willpower of your companion," Wu Wang sat by the blood pool, holding his arms and said with a heavy tone, "That second elder has been plotting against the second batch of divine children for a long time. His heart is no longer with the Evil God.
The Evil God still thinks they can truly control people's hearts. It's ridiculous.
Friend, you haven't killed anyone or done anything evil, yet you fell victim to the Ten Calamities Palace. How about I help you remove the bloodline of the Evil God? It can save your life and keep you suppressed in a quiet place for the rest of your life."
Wancai Daoren slowly closed his eyes and murmured, "Evil God, Human Realm, I must have a share. Please grant me death. I don't know as much as the second elder."
"If you insist on choosing a side, why can't you stand on the side of the Human Realm?" Liu Gezhu asked in response, lowering his voice, "If you personally appear and expose the harm caused by the Ten Calamities Palace to the public, the future situation of the Ten Calamities Palace will be extremely difficult.
This novel is available on "pawread.com".
We have obtained the method to remove your bloodline from that second elder. As long as Master Wuwang takes action, everything will be fine."
Wancai Daoren remained unmoved, closing his eyes and sighing, showing his determination.
Wu Wang signaled Liu Gezhu to speak aside. The high-level members of the Human Realm and the Mysterious Female Sect whispered to each other for a while.
After pondering for a few moments, Liu Gezhu spoke decisively, "Alright! Deal!
If we can win over this divine child, it will be a perfect opportunity to showcase the achievements of the Renhuang Pavilion!
I will allocate a large area of land with good feng shui as the new mountain gate for you, and it will be no more than a hundred miles away from our immortal army's station!"
"Lord Gezhu has spoken!"
"The Four Evil Gods won't be able to catch up!"
Wu Wang immediately became spirited, his eyes shining. He raised his hand and said, "Bring it."
Ji Mo threw a folding fan from the side, which landed in Wu Wang's hand.
The young master turned around, opened the folding fan with a "bang," and stepped lightly with a graceful posture, his eyes shining with starlight as he recited softly.
The immortals were puzzled and didn't understand what kind of trick the Mysterious Female Sect's master was playing.
They heard Wu Wang dragging his voice and reciting with emotion:
"Have you not seen the water of the great river flowing from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning?
Have you not seen the bright mirror in the high hall, grieving over white hair turning into snow at dawn..."
The majestic poetry flowed out of Wu Wang's mouth, entering the ears of Wancai Daoren and continuously circling, causing the slightly loosened eyelids of Wancai Daoren to move.
Wu Wang recited three poems in a row, and two tears slid down the corners of Wancai Daoren's eyes, but he remained motionless, his emotions fluctuating.
This move was called "Prescribing the Right Medicine." Wancai Daoren loved poetry and literature, so it was natural to start from this aspect.
Coincidentally, in Wu Wang's previous life on the Blue Star, he completed nine years of compulsory education.
Sometimes, it's not enough to just study math and science. You still need to have some artistic taste.
The only downside was that there were several Renhuang Pavilion experts dressed as literati, as well as several Mysterious Female Sect experts, and Lin Qi and Ling Xiaolan, who looked at Wu Wang with shining eyes.
Wu Wang continued to recite:
"Red beans grow in the south, blooming a few branches in spring.
May you pick more of them, for this is the most..."
Wu Wang's voice abruptly stopped, and the immortals around were puzzled, feeling the discomfort of having words stuck in their mouths.
Suddenly, a hand pressed on the side of the broken blood pool!
He's getting up!
Wancai Daoren directly broke free from the shackles on his body and sat up from inside!
"What are the last two words?"
"Love."
"Yearning... how wonderful, these two words are wonderful. Is this poem written by you, sir?"
"No, I heard it somewhere," Wu Wang laughed, "Would you like to hear more? I have plenty."
The Daoist Wancai jumped out of the blood pool, but weakly knelt on the ground. He looked at Wu Wang, his eyes filled with a hint of anger, but he said:
"I can help you spread the news about the Ten Calamities Palace and the Evil God, but I must die!
Before I die, I only ask to read more of your poems!"
Wu Wang looked at Liu, the palace master, who nodded slightly.
This true Daoist Wancai, he is indeed a man of character.
