C142 Soul-reaping Method

The back of the mountain was completely different from when Zhou Yi came here before. Before, the mountain was brightly lit and with a glance, one could tell that there were people there. But now, it was completely dark. Even the people guarding the cave disappeared.

Zhou Yi walked towards the cave entrance with a surprised look on his face. He missed his step, but luckily, Zhou Yi only took one step forward and before he could catch up, his body did a 360 degree turn and landed not far away.

When Zhou Yi steadied his body, he saw that there was a deep pit on the ground. There were countless arrows in the bottom of the pit. If he fell in, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

"An insignificant skill!" Zhou Yi snorted coldly. He didn't expect Sect Leader to be so easy to deal with.

Only then did Zhou Yi discover that there were quite a few traps around him. Every single one of them were probably set up against him. However, he was still quite careful, otherwise, he would really fall into one of their traps.

The mechanism he just touched returned to its original state and he carefully entered the cave.

Although the cave was pitch black, the moonlight outside was still bright, and Zhou Yi had already reached the Divinity Stage, so the power of the night was naturally better than the average person.

The cave was a mess. It was impossible to tell that anyone had been locked up here. It looked more like an ordinary cave. There were even some spiderwebs appearing in some corners.

"Looks like I really have to return empty-handed today." Zhou Yi shook his head. It seemed that Sect Leader Yishan had made perfect preparations, not only to deal with the 250 cultivators, but also to deal with himself.

He must have known that he would come to the back of the mountain to investigate, so he had long since cleaned up this place to the point that he couldn't find anything.

Since there was nothing, Zhou Yi didn't want to waste any more time. He planned to turn around and leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, a light flashed in the innermost corner of the cave.

Zhou Yi was surprised and quickly went to the corner, only to find that there were a lot of strange writing on the wall. Zhou Yi did not understand what was written, so he quickly wrote it down and erased the text on the wall before getting up and leaving the cave quickly.

When he came back, Wang Chuan was already waiting at the door. After Zhou Yi entered, Wang Chuan then closed the door.

Following that, Zhou Yi's figure appeared. The 'Zhou Yi' who was sitting on the chair also stood up and walked to his side. Then, his figure gradually became fainter and finally seeped into Zhou Yi's body.

Seeing that Zhou Yi had returned safely, Wang Chuan also hurriedly served him a cup of tea and then asked, "Sir, did you find anything?"

"The person is no longer here. All the marks in the cave have been wiped clean by them!" Zhou Yi shook his head.

"Then wouldn't we not be able to obtain clues regarding the treasure?" Hearing that, Wang Chuan also quickly spoke up.

"Now we can only do our best and leave it to fate. Don't think too much about it, rest up!" Zhou Yi lightly patted Wang Chuan's shoulder, then walked to his bedside and laid down.

On the morning of the second day, everyone gathered in the hall once more, and those unlucky hidden clan members were brought up as well.

After the night's rest, the spirits of the clansmen seemed to have increased a bit. However, facing these people who were prepared to force out their confessions, the clansmen had expressions of determination.

"Speak, I'll give you one last chance. If you continue to be this stubborn, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your lives!" The tall and thin man from yesterday was the first to speak. However, his expression was much darker than yesterday. It seemed that he was about to run out of patience.

Since he had already spoken, the crowd immediately burst into a hubbub of questions.

"Hurry up and say it. If you don't, I'll cut off your tongue so that you won't be able to say anything else in the future."

"That's not right. Let's break the tendons in their hands and legs first, so that they can't take care of themselves!"

"If you ask me, you might as well just pour them some of our clan's secret medicine and guarantee that they won't be able to beg for death."

Not only did the crowd move their mouths, they also kept on moving their hands toward them. However, these people still had a generous appearance as if they were going to die, and completely ignored these people.

"Damn, from the looks of it, they really don't know anything. Sect Leader, it can't be that you hid the key figures and threw out these ignorant minions to us!"

A man weighing about two hundred pounds wiped the sweat off his forehead and suddenly turned around to look at Sect Leader Yishan.

The crowd felt that something was amiss when they heard his words. If these elders knew what was going on, they would not be able to stop themselves from talking. But why was it that even after being beaten to this state, they still did not open their mouths?

Either they really didn't know anything, or their bones were really hard!

Everyone was more inclined to the former.

But who would have thought that before Sect Leader could say anything, those old, weak, and handicapped people suddenly became crazy. As they shouted, they charged towards the crowd: "Today, we will die here, so you won't get anything!"

While they were talking, these people had already arrived beside them. Everyone hurriedly moved to stop them, but who would have thought that the old men would suddenly erupt with unprecedented strength.

"Dammit, I don't believe this! You old guys can go back to heaven!" Everyone shouted and attacked at the same time.

"This …"

Wang Chuan, who was nearby, could not bear to watch and wanted to attack, but was stopped by Zhou Yi.

His gaze glanced at Sect Leader Yishan, who was sitting on the stage. From his slightly raised mouth, he could tell that he was the one behind this. He just didn't know what method he used to make these people listen to him.

After a short while, they were controlled. The old people from the hidden powers were covered with blood and it seemed that they would not live for long.

"How are we going to interrogate him now that he's been beaten up by you all?"

Looking at the few people lying on the ground, someone muttered in a low voice.

Hearing that, the people who had been in high spirits were stunned. Then they looked at Sect Leader: "This …"

Sect Leader Yishan was currently resting with his eyes closed, ignoring everything else.

Suddenly, someone from the crowd said in a low voice, "How about this, there is a secret technique in my clan, but when they are not dead yet, I will release their souls and force them to ask about the secret regarding the treasure!"

"Who said that? "Come out quickly!" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rejoiced before crying out, "Quickly come out and cast your secret technique. We will protect you."

Soon after, everyone formed a circle around the elders, waiting for the person to cast the spell …
