After interrogating Demonic Lord Guang Yu, Immortal Lord Yan Hua proceeded to question the trio of Demonic Lord Hong Xi.
Cao Zhen found that neither Demonic Lord Guang Yu nor Demonic Lord Hong Xi, who was a team leader, understood the Eternal Assembly very well. They were at the lowest echelon and barely knew anything about Guang Yao Hall, let alone the entire organization.
Their thod of receiving information was quite straightforward; the Eternal Assembly left them with talismans that resembled educational scripts, and tasks would directly appear on the talismans.
If they wished to proactively contact higher authorities, only the team leader, Demonic Lord Hong Xi, could reach out to their Hall Master, and even this contact was conducted through talisman communication. Their Hall Master would not show themselves just because they sought an audience.
Of course, they had seen their Hall Master, but only once, during a mission when their Hall Master led nurous experts on an expedition.
During that mission, Guang Yao Hall suffered heavy losses, and their team leader perished, leading to Demonic Lord Hong Xi taking over the role.
When they acted together, they all wore masks, never knowing each other’s identities.
"So, this is all you know."
Immortal Lord Yan Hua stated with so frustration, "We can only take them back for now and see if we can gather any more information."
Just as she finished speaking, an imnse aura of immortal energy surged from Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, making her Formation Map tremble. Within the map, a cascade of stars erged, enveloping the trio of Demonic Lord Hong Xi. The stars then exploded violently, akin to a galactic eruption.
In the next instant, the bodies of the three Demonic Lords burst apart.
"You..." Immortal Lord Yan Hua looked at Immortal Lord Jue Zhen with bewildernt, "Why did you kill them? Keeping them might have led us to more Guang Yao Hall operatives."
"The information they knew was already compromised; keeping them was pointless. Besides, if you want to trace Guang Yao Hall, there still is Demonic Lord Guang Yu. Use him to find the leads."
Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s expression turned icy as he coldly warned Immortal Lord Yan Hua and Demonic Lord Guang Yu, "The three of them knew too much. They had to die.
And as for you two. In truth, the best way to keep a secret is to kill everyone who knows it, but we are not bloodthirsty people.
Therefore, we will not kill you, and I also hope that you won’t spread today’s information. Especially you, Immortal Lord Yan Hua."
Immortal Lord Yan Hua frowned. She disliked threats, but she understood that strength dictated the truth. Against Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, she could only nod, "Rest assured, I am also part of the Human Clan, and I will not disclose this secret."
She knew Cao Zhen was the future of the Human Clan, an imnsely powerful presence in the Immortality Regainnt Realm, bound to be extraordinarily potent once he attained the True Immortal level.
Especially since he was the reincarnation of a Daluo Golden Immortal; she believed he would surely achieve that status once more.
She certainly didn’t want Cao Zhen to die, so even if Immortal Lord Jue Zhen hadn’t warned her, she wouldn’t have divulged this matter.
Demonic Lord Guang Yu, however, was bewildered. He understood that Immortal Lord Jue Zhen referred to Sword Lord Qing Lian, but the problem was he didn’t actually know who Sword Lord Qing Lian was, only that his identity was very special.
Faced with Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s threatening gaze, he fervently nodded, "I don’t know anything, but I definitely won’t inquire or probe."
Cao Zhen nodded lightly, "No need to be so tense, I believe you. Although you joined the Eternal Assembly for so reason, your intentions were never evil. You’ve always wanted to leave the Assembly, even going out of your way to warn before.
Alright, staying here serves no purpose now; we might as well return."
Their objectives achieved, they saw no reason to remain.
Immortal Lord Jue Zhen didn’t leave them, but instead escorted them away from the site, as they began their return journey.
En route, after so contemplation, Immortal Lord Yan Hua suddenly spoke to Demonic Lord Guang Yu, "Demonic Lord Guang Yu, I know you were forced into the Eternal Assembly for certain reasons.
Your conscience has always tornted you, and you’ve wanted to do sothing to and your mistakes. In that case, I now offer you an opportunity to cooperate with us. Assist us in locating Guang Yao Hall’s Hall Master and, further yet, the chair of the Eternal Assembly! To eliminate them all!"
With Demonic Lord Hong Xi and the others dead, only Demonic Lord Guang Yu remained. Besides, no one knew about the fate of Demonic Lord Hong Xi.
Thus, Demonic Lord Guang Yu could feasibly remain within Guang Yao Hall, serving as an undercover agent for our side.
"You could even claim that Demonic Lord Hong Xi died in an accident, and you will take his place as the leader of the Yellow Team."
Demonic Lord Guang Yu considered for a mont before nodding in agreent; he truly wanted to atone for his sins.
With Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s presence, they encountered no threats along the way and soon reached the outskirts of Sun Detritus City.
"Alright, we’ve arrived at our destination."
Immortal Lord Jue Zhen observed them, "You may return now."
