Jian Chen nodded. He told Yun Wufeng to wait outside the demonic formation before entering the Empyrean Demon Prison with the grand elder.
The Empyrean Demon Prison churned with demonic clouds inside. The demon Qi within was so powerful that the demonic formation outside was nowhere close. It had a world of its own inside. It seed like a tiny prison on the outside, but the interior was an extrely spacious miniature world.
The miniature world was divided into nurous individual spaces. Every single space could serve as a perfectly-sealed cell. Not only were they extraordinarily tough and could block off all energies, but they also possessed a suppressive force inside.
The suppressive force ca from a high quality god artifact. It was so powerful that even Grand Pris would be reduced to the sa state as mortals if they were locked up inside, let alone Chaotic Pris.
The dozen or so Chaotic Pri great elders of the Hefeng clan had been separated and locked up in individual cells.
With a flash, Jian Chen appeared in one of the cells silently under the accompanint of the grand elder.
The person imprisoned there was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri.
“You can directly ask about whatever you need to know. There really aren’t a lot of people that can hide their secrets in the Empyrean Demon Prison,” said the grand elder.
At this mont, the person in the cell opened his eyes. Even though he already knew a horrible fate was awaiting him, he ca off as extrely composed as if he had already accepted death.
“You can do whatever you want with , whether it’s to kill or to torture , but I’d advise you to give up if you want to learn anything from . Even if I die here, even if I have to suffer all the tortures there are in the world, I’ll never tell even a peep to you demons,” the great elder said coldly.
Jian Chen turned a blind eye to his attitude. He stared at the person in the cell sharply and asked, “Two days ago, an Infinite Pri was captured in the Ice Goddess Hall. Did you do it?”
The Chaotic Pri shut his eyes and sat on the ground with his legs crossed like he was ditating, ignoring everything going on around him.
“Grand elder, didn’t you say there really aren’t a lot of people that can hide their secrets in the Empyrean Demon Prison?” Jian Chen looked at the grand elder beside him.
The grand elder chuckled and said nothing. He imdiately ford a seal with his hand, and demon Qi churned in the cell. A few strands of black demon Qi that were clearly distinct from the other demon Qi separated out, constantly twisting about as they word into the Chaotic Pri’s head like threatening fiends.
In the next mont, the Chaotic Pri’s expression changed, but very soon, he seed to experience unendurable pain. All of the muscles on his face twisted in an extrely violent manner. He even let out deep growls from his throat.
This process lasted for almost an entire minute. By the ti he opened his eyes again, they had already lost their prior clearness. His scarlet eyes were filled with indescribable pain and madness.
There were also so chaotic emotions in the mix.
“The Empyrean Demon Prison that master left behind isn’t just for imprisoning people. It can also interfere with the minds of those imprisoned here to a certain degree, thus achieving basic control over their souls.” The grand elder smiled before he continued, “As a high quality god artifact, perhaps Grand Pris might be able to withstand its control over souls for a mont, but it’s never failed against Chaotic Pris.”
“Jian Chen, keep asking.”
Jian Chen repeated the sa question as before. Sure enough, everything unfolded extrely smoothly this ti. The Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri imprisoned in the cell directly answered Jian Chen’s question without the slightest hesitation at all.
“I’ve already spent several decades in secluded cultivation in the clan. I only erged when the Empyrean Demon Cult attacked. I probably know absolutely nothing about what’s unfolded during these decades.”
“It’s not him!” Jian Chen frowned slightly and felt a hint of pity, but he was not dejected, as there were a total of three Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pris in the Hefeng clan.
Jian Chen and Cheng Ming imdiately ventured to the next place and saw the second Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri of the Hefeng clan. The grand elder used the sa trick and controlled his soul through the Empyrean Demon Prison before carrying out the interrogation.
“I entered secluded cultivation for good a century ago, striving towards my breakthrough to the Ninth Heavenly Layer. I only erged when the clan faced devastation.”
“It’s not him either.” Jian Chen’s frown deepened. He had already questioned two of the three Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pris of the Hefeng clan. Neither of them were the expert with the bamboo hat that abducted Shui Yunlan.
“There’s one last Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri.” Jian Chen felt rather uneasy, arriving at the final spot with the grand elder.
“I’ve been in secluded cultivation the entire ti. I’ve never seen the person you speak of.” This was the response from the last Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri.
With that, he had already questioned all three great elders of the Hefeng clan that satisfied the conditions, but the end result made Jian Chen pale. His heart felt empty as if he had just lost his soul.
Did his lead to Shui Yunlan just end here? Shui Yunlan’s fate was of no concern, but her safety directly impacted the fate of Changyang Mingyue.
In particular, after witnessing a soul-controlling ability like the Empyrean Demon Prison, Jian Chen beca even more worried.
Perhaps this was the only ability, secret technique, or evil art for controlling souls that the Empyrean Demon Cult was capable of, but it definitely was not the only one in the world.
“Jian Chen, perhaps the person you’re searching for doesn’t belong to the Hefeng clan at all. I don’t know the exact details, but in my opinion, the current Hefeng clan would never be bold enough to capture soone in the Ice Goddess Hall with their current strength, as they can’t even look after themselves properly after their Grand Pri ancestors died,” said Cheng Ming.
Jian Chen’s eyes imdiately lit up with that. He suddenly ca to a realisation. His thoughts really had been confused from all of his concern. The expert with the bamboo hat entered the Hefeng clan, but did that really an he was from the Hefeng clan?
Aside from that, he suddenly rembered what ancestor Lan had said earlier today. There was the shadow of a Grand Pri behind the expert with the bamboo hat who helped him obscure the heavenly secrets and cover his tracks, which prevented ancestor Lan from finding anything.
anwhile, the Hefeng clan no longer had any Grand Pri ancestors left!
“Let’s go interrogate the others. If the mysterious figure with the bamboo hat you ntioned actually entered the Hefeng clan, then he must have made contact with the upper echelon of the Hefeng clan, as the protective formation of the Hefeng clan still isn’t weak enough for Chaotic Pris to infiltrate. He obviously received permission to be able to enter the Hefeng clan,” said Cheng Ming.
As a result, Jian Chen and the great elder imdiately began questioning all the great elders imprisoned here, starting with the strongest.
Effort and dedication always paid off in the end. When they finally got around to a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri, Jian Chen learnt the person’s identity.
“The expert you’re talking about is a great elder of the Snow sect. People call him elder Xie. Elder Xie did indeed visit our Hefeng clan two days ago, but that was just to exchange for a few God Tier materials with our clan. He left very soon.”
After learning the identity of the expert with the bamboo hat, Jian Chen was both excited and alard. He was excited over the fact that he had finally tracked down Shui Yunlan.
However, what left him alard was he actually belonged to the Snow sect.
The Snow sect, the most powerful organization on the Ice Pole Plane!
