Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Netherworld Sect and Crimson Sunset Sect Return
Ji Yunfan nodded.
"We have captured two, and they are currently being held in the Ji Family dungeon, yet to be interrogated."
"Then bring them here, I will personally question them."
Ji Haoyuan spoke gravely.
Upon hearing him, Ji Yunfan hesitated not a bit and immediately agreed.
As Ji Yunfan temporarily left, Ji Haoyuan turned to Ji Bochang and said:
"Ancestor, what do you think of this matter?"
"I fear it doesn’t look optimistic."
Ji Bochang’s expression also grew serious.
"If things go wrong, our current relatively stable environment may very well be disrupted."
This is neither alarmist nor unfounded worry, but something that truly has the potential to happen.
"Let me inquire about the situation in other counties."
Ji Haoyuan immediately took out a Communication Jade Talisman and sent a message to Feng Wanqing of the Feng Family in Danyang County.
"Now we can only see if we can extract any information from those two captured demon cultivators."
As he was speaking, Ji Yunfan, who had previously left, arrived with two men in black robes, their Magical Power completely suppressed.
But both men had blank expressions.
Seeing cultivators of Foundation Establishment like Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang, they showed no sign of fear.
This is very unusual.
Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang exchanged a glance.
Then Ji Haoyuan said: "Let me.
I want to see what exactly is going on with these two guys."
As he finished speaking, peculiar light rings appeared in his eyes.
It was the Divine Sense Secret Technique, the Illusory God Effect from Illusory God Stab.
Not only could it plunge them into an Illusion Realm, but it also has a certain level of confounding ability.
"Tell me your origins, and who sent you here?
What is the real purpose of your visit?"
As soon as these questions were asked, the two men in black robes immediately showed expressions of extreme suffering and struggle.
Perhaps the difference in the strength of the Divine Soul was too vast.
After a brief struggle, one of the men finally spoke mechanically:
"We are cultivators under the Netherworld Sect, commanded by the Netherworld Sect to come here, as for the purpose..."
Just as he spoke to this point, their expressions suddenly twisted.
Ji Haoyuan’s expression changed as well.
But, before he could react, the two men’s heads exploded like watermelons, bursting instantly into pieces.
Red and white, flowed all over the ground.
"What’s going on?"
Suddenly witnessing this scene, Ji Bochang and Ji Yunfan were also startled.
They all turned to look at Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan’s expression was solemn.
He shook his head toward the two and said: "These two men’s Divine Souls were already implanted with restrictions.
As soon as our questions touched the core, if they refused to answer, fine, but once they showed any intention of revealing information, the restriction within their Divine Souls would erupt.
No wonder these demon Dao cultivators are so ruthless in their deeds."
This indeed disregards the lives of these Qi Refining Stage demon cultivators completely.
Now Ji Haoyuan can be almost certain that all demon cultivators around them.
As long as they responded to the Netherworld Sect’s command, restrictions had been implanted in their Divine Souls.
It seems almost impossible to truly extract anything from them.
Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan looked at Ji Bochang and asked:
"By the way, Ancestor, do you have any understanding of the Netherworld Sect? Do you know exactly what kind of demon Dao sect that is?"
Hearing this, Ji Bochang pondered briefly before slowly speaking:
"Regarding the specifics of the Netherworld Sect, even I do not know much.
But I do know that the Netherworld Sect is a Golden Core demon Dao sect no less powerful than the Crimson Sunset Sect.
It is said there are two Golden Core True Men in the sect."
"Two Golden Core True Men?"
Ji Haoyuan’s gaze darkened.
Because if he remembers correctly, the Crimson Sunset Sect also seems to have two Golden Core True Men nowadays.
But here’s the issue.
Despite having equal high-level combat power, why does the Netherworld Sect do such things?
They should know that solely relying on their Netherworld Sect, or their Netherworld Sect’s cultivators, they certainly cannot stir up much trouble within the Crimson Sunset Sect’s territory.
Unless other demon Dao Golden Core sects are involved in this.
But that doesn’t make sense either.
Demon Dao sects are mortal enemies of these so-called righteous Dao sects like the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Once more than two demon Dao Golden Core sects want to do something, the other righteous Dao Golden Core sects outside the Crimson Sunset Sect surely wouldn’t stand idly by.
At that time, it wouldn’t be a war between the Crimson Sunset Sect and the Netherworld Sect alone, but a conflict involving multiple righteous and demon Dao Golden Core sects.
Such a scale would be far greater than a confrontation between two Golden Core sects.
Just as Ji Haoyuan was pondering in his mind, a transmission suddenly arrived from afar.
At first, Ji Haoyuan thought it was a reply from Feng Wanqing.
But when he checked the transmission, his expression immediately tightened.
For the transmission was not from Feng Wanqing, but from the elder responsible for the Foreign Affairs Hall in the Ji Family, Ji Yunhai.
The message from Ji Yunhai was somewhat urgent.
He informed Ji Haoyuan that now a steward from the Crimson Sunset Sect’s Foreign Affairs Hall had already arrived at the Ji Family, requesting them to go to the reception hall immediately.
Seeing this, not only Ji Haoyuan, but also Ji Bochang and Ji Yunfan’s expressions became exceptionally grave.
The arrival of the Crimson Sunset Sect’s Foreign Affairs Hall steward at the Ji Family clearly wouldn’t foretell anything good.
It could very well be related to the appearance of those demon cultivators this time.
No matter what, now that the Crimson Sunset Sect’s Foreign Affairs Hall steward had arrived at the Ji Family, they as figures of the Ji Family’s ancestor rank certainly couldn’t refuse to see him.
Thinking this, the three exchanged a glance.
Without any hesitation, they hurried towards the reception hall down the mountain.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Ji Family’s reception hall.
A man in a red robe with a stern expression across his brows sat quietly.
Ji Yunhai, the elder of the Ji Family’s Foreign Affairs Hall, along with several other Ji Family elders, were respectfully present.
After a moment.
The man in the red robe suddenly snorted lightly.
"Your Ji Family really is high-handed.
All this time, and not even a single person capable of making decisions is present.
Is this a way of looking down on my Crimson Sunset Sect and me, Ma?"
As soon as his words fell, the hearts of Ji Yunhai and the others sank.
Indeed.
These cultivators from the Crimson Sunset Sect are never easy to deal with.
Coming right up to give them and even their entire Ji Family a stern warning.
Luckily, just then, three streaks of escape light suddenly stopped outside the reception hall.
Soon after, Ji Haoyuan, Ji Bochang, and Ji Yunfan, as the clan leader, walked in together.
