Su Xi looked at the honest passerby in front of her, a series of dark lines appearing on her forehead.
This person was truly sincere, actually answering her questions honestly.
But, was her main point really to ask him?
However, facing such an honest person, Su Xi felt too embarrassed not to answer.
After clearing her throat to mask her awkwardness, she explained, "Because I've already set up a barrier here, isolating the connection between the two worlds, so no one outside will know what's happening inside."
Hearing Su Xi's explanation, the passerby's face showed shock.
Was this even possible?
His master had never told him that such a thing could be done.
He hadn't been pretending to be foolish earlier; it was precisely because he was carrying a communication talisman that he felt so emboldened. He had been looking for an opportunity to send out a message.
But now he was suddenly told that the communication talisman was useless. This was more unbearable than going for tea on the wedding night.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die.
The passerby felt very nervous and began to frantically think of a solution.
Since Su Xi had found a way to interrogate him, she must have already dealt with those who ambushed her. Now, she was looking for him simply to find clues.
Therefore, if he wanted to survive, he had to prove his worth.
Although the passerby was constantly thinking of ways to escape, Su Xi clearly did not want to waste time and give him the opportunity to execute his plan.
Thus, she used her Golden Core stage pressure to force the passerby to the ground, and then instantly took out a needle from her person and injected it into him.
The needle that stiffened muscles was not something anyone could withstand.
Given the passerby's cultivation level, it was impossible for him to endure it.
"What did you do to me?" the passerby looked at Su Xi with confusion. He had initially thought he would suffer great harm, but he hadn't expected Su Xi to do such minor things.
Although his body ached, it wasn't severe.
Su Xi heard the contempt in the passerby's voice and smiled, "If you want to know what I did, you'll know soon enough."
The passerby was about to retort, but he instantly found his muscles becoming stiff.
His movements were also hindered, and at the same time, an unending pain swept through every corner of his body, as if someone was constantly cutting him with thousands of small knives.
Su Xi looked at the passerby, whose expression was gradually becoming distorted with pain, and patted his head, asking, "Are you going to tell me now, what exactly are you planning?"
It was obvious that the Luoyi Sect and the Law Enforcement Alliance had colluded. She was alone and had to be extremely cautious, otherwise, one wrong step and she would be trapped.
Only by knowing more information could she better protect herself.
Upon hearing Su Xi's question, the passerby initially wanted to say something defiant, but the pain in his body made him abandon this unrealistic plan. "I'll talk, please stop."
He had never encountered Su Xi's method of torture before, and thus had no psychological preparation.
He had also absolutely not expected such great pain in his body.
Su Xi heard the passerby admit his mistake and took out another needle from her person, directly inserting it into him.
As the medicinal fluid slowly entered the passerby's body, the pain he was experiencing began to subside, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
He had never imagined that one day he would feel the sky so beautiful and the wind so gentle.
Seeing that the passerby had recovered, Su Xi immediately seized the opportunity and inquired, "Now, shouldn't you tell the truth?"
She had a way to alleviate the passerby's pain, so naturally, she also had a way to make him suffer even more. All of this depended entirely on whether the passerby cooperated with her.
Hearing Su Xi's words, the passerby's mind couldn't help but recall the previous pain, and he shivered, begging for mercy, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
"We were all forced. None of this is what I wanted to do."
He started with a sob story. Su Xi frowned, "Cut the nonsense and get to the point."
She really wanted to remind the author, can you not forget this is a fantasy novel, not a Qiong Yao romance drama? Next time, just state the key points.
The passerby heard this and flinched, nodding with lingering fear, and carefully said, "When the five major sects were repairing the Scar of Heaven, the sect leaders of the major sects were all ambushed and imprisoned."
"Our task was to notify the people of the major sects to come, and then capture them all..."
Hearing the passerby's explanation, Su Xi's face turned grim. "What's the benefit for you guys to do this?"
The passerby was stunned and shook his head, "No benefit."
"No benefit?" Su Xi raised her voice, asking in disbelief, "If there's no benefit, why are you still doing this?"
Harming others without benefiting oneself, only a fool would believe it.
Are they treating her like an idiot?
The passerby rubbed his nose helplessly and said, "There's no benefit for us, but there might be benefits for our sect leader. It's said that when the Heavenly Demon reappears, it will be the time for our Luoyi Sect to flourish."
As the passerby spoke of this matter, a look of reverence instantly appeared on his face.
Seeing the expression on the passerby's face, Su Xi knew that this person had been thoroughly brainwashed. Continuing to talk would only make her angry to death and achieve nothing else.
Therefore, she chose not to discuss this boring topic and changed the subject, asking other questions.
Hearing Su Xi's inquiries, the passerby did not hide anything and told her everything.
In any case, the situation had already come to this, and no one could change the current predicament.
Moreover, with Su Xi alone, it was impossible to make any difference. If these secrets were told, they were told.
Su Xi saw that the passerby's usefulness had been exhausted, and at this point, she did not want to waste any more time with him, so she acted decisively to deal with him.
After dealing with the passerby, she took his token and began walking towards a certain location near the Scar of Heaven.
She had just learned that many more people had been ambushed and imprisoned by this group.
She was alone and outnumbered; she had to find some help.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a rescue, but walking into a trap.
She still had her own plans to fulfill, so she couldn't die so easily in this small world. Otherwise, how could she avenge her deep-seated hatred?
Planning before acting was the way to solve the current problem.
