In the interrogation room, the captured Asura, brought in by his subordinate, had regained consciousness. He looked at Gu Yuncheng and Ling Luoyi before him, feeling panicked and unable to understand why the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race and the Saintess of the Human Race would capture an insignificant figure like him from the Asura race.
After calming himself, the Asura asked, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, Your Highness the Saintess of War of the Human Race, may I know why you have captured me? Saintess of War, if my memory serves me correctly, our race has been on good terms with the Human Race for many years. Is the Saintess of War not afraid of causing dissatisfaction within my race by doing this? Or has the Human Race already decided to make a move against the Asura race?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Luoyi yawned indifferently and took out a black pill, handing it to Xing Yu, who was waiting beside her. "Xing Yu, give this to him."
"Yes." Without a word, Xing Yu took the pill and roughly forced it into the Asura's mouth.
Gu Yuncheng's subordinates, who were waiting nearby, saw how obediently Xing Yu followed Ling Luoyi's orders without even consulting Gu Yuncheng, and how Gu Yuncheng showed no surprise. They instantly understood the future status of this Saintess of War of the Human Race, who was rumored to be the future Demon Empress.
The Asura had intended to spit it out, but the pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, making it impossible for him to expel it. He looked at the calm Ling Luoyi with a look of horror and asked, "Saintess of War, what exactly have you given me?"
"You don't need to worry. It's just an ordinary pill. I just have some questions for you, and I'm afraid you might lie, so I'm adding a safeguard," Ling Luoyi said calmly.
"Luoluo, are there pills with such an effect?" Gu Yuncheng asked, his interest piqued by Ling Luoyi's words. If he could obtain a large quantity of such pills, he wouldn't have to worry about falsehoods during interrogations in the future.
Knowing his thoughts, Ling Luoyi whispered, "A Yuan developed it when she was bored. She gave me the prescription too. If you want some, I'll refine them for you when we get back."
"Alright, thank you, Luoluo. It's a lot of work."
Such things naturally couldn't be handled through official channels. If Qiu Yuanxi were to handle it, the Domain Lord would surely be informed. If something that could make people speak the truth fell into the hands of his race, the risks would be immense.
Seeing the two of them completely ignoring him, the Asura felt a sense of helplessness. At the same time, the rumors about the current Demon Emperor of the Demon Race and the Saintess of War of the Human Race seemed to be true.
As the Asura was lost in thought, his heart suddenly chilled. He looked up and saw Ling Luoyi's emotionless eyes fixed on him. Remembering what she had just said, the Asura panicked, wondering if she was going to ask about...
Thinking of the matter that could not be leaked, the Asura, with a guilty conscience, loudly declared, "Saintess of War of the Human Race, did you obtain my King's consent before capturing me? If not, you are actively destroying the alliance!"
Seeing his reaction, Ling Luoyi raised an eyebrow. It seemed there was indeed something to it.
Ling Luoyi was not interested in the secrets of his race, unless they involved things she cared about. And this Asura had just come from the Ancient Spirit Continent. Ling Luoyi had not forgotten that the ancestral home and ancestral graves of the Ling family were all on the Ancient Spirit Continent. If they were destroyed, that kind and amiable old man would likely perish with them.
Thinking of the Ling family, Ling Luoyi's heart warmed, and the smile on her lips became more sincere. In the Asura's eyes, this was a sign of her fear, making him even more arrogant.
"Saintess of War of the Human Race, if you release me quickly, I won't mind your capturing me this time, nor will I tell my King."
Hearing this, Ling Luoyi did not get angry but smiled and said, "Rest assured, I will release you. As long as I get the answers I want, I guarantee you can leave safely."
After speaking, she cut to the chase. "First question, what were you doing on the Ancient Spirit Continent?"
Seeing Ling Luoyi ask this, the Asura initially didn't want to answer, but he couldn't control his mouth and blurted it out.
"We were ordered to go to the Ancient Spirit Continent to find something." As soon as he said this, the Asura panicked and covered his mouth.
"Find what?"
"A fragment of a cauldron."
"What cauldron?"
"I don't know. I only know it belongs to the same cauldron as the fragment in my race."
Even with his mouth covered, the Asura couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, Ling Luoyi and Gu Yuncheng exchanged a glance, then Gu Yuncheng asked, "Is Xuan He branded a traitor because he stole the fragment from the Asura race?"
"Yes. Although Xuan He also stole the Profound Jade Crystal, the primary reason was stealing the fragment."
As soon as he said this, the Asura looked at Ling Luoyi as if she were something terrifying.
Ling Luoyi and Gu Yuncheng both knew what the Profound Jade Crystal was. The Profound Jade Crystal was the key treasure of the Asura race that had been passed down to the present. It contained the cultivation methods of the Asura race and was also the key to activating the Asura race's protective formation. No wonder the Asura King dared not reveal what Xuan He had stolen. If his race knew, the Asura race would be in grave danger.
However, even though the Profound Jade Crystal was so important, it wasn't the main reason Xuan He was branded a traitor. What was that fragment? Was it more important than the Profound Jade Crystal?
"Why were you looking for that fragment?"
Upon hearing this question, the Asura tried his best to control himself from speaking, but it was useless. He still revealed the secret.
"Our King wants to cooperate with the extraterrestrial demons. The fragment is a token of sincerity for the cooperation."
After saying this, the Asura collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. He was finished. He had revealed his King's major plan, and he had done so in front of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race and the Saintess of the Human Race.
The others who heard this looked at the limp Asura on the ground in disbelief. The interrogation room fell silent for a moment.
Ling Luoyi, having finally processed what she had heard, reacted and said with suppressed anger, "Is Zhao Yan crazy?! Who else could he cooperate with but the extraterrestrial demons!"
Ling Luoyi then remembered that Zhao Yan had met with the Demon King before, and afterward, the Demon King had sent people to accompany them to the Ancient Spirit Continent. She then asked, "Does the Demon King also want to cooperate with the extraterrestrial demons?"
"Yes."
"Crazy, crazy! They're truly insane!! Zhao Yan and the Demon King have both gone mad!!!" Ling Luoyi was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"Luoluo, calm down." Unlike the furious Ling Luoyi, Gu Yuncheng was very calm.
"How can I calm down? Both of them dare to cooperate with the extraterrestrial demons, how can I calm down?!" Although Ling Luoyi said this, her emotions gradually stabilized under Gu Yuncheng's comfort. "By the way, does the Demon Lord know about Zhao Yan and the Demon King's cooperation with the extraterrestrial demons?"
The Asura race and the Demon race were both located in the Demon Realm, and naturally, the Demon Lord was in charge of matters in the Demon Realm.
"The Demon Lord probably doesn't know. If she knew, my King wouldn't have to be so cautious."
Since the biggest secrets had been revealed, the Asura had given up struggling with these matters.
"Why use the fragment as a token of sincerity?"
"I don't know."
Such secrets would naturally not be told to these subordinates, especially those of the lowest rank.
"Last question, why does Zhao Yan want to cooperate with the extraterrestrial demons?"
"Because our King wants to become the ruler of the Demon Realm, and he needs the power of the extraterrestrial demons."
However, this statement made Ling Luoyi and Gu Yuncheng notice something amiss. Liu Ying Shui Xie had investigated, and Zhao Yan had always only wanted to be the King of the Asura race. But why did he say that Zhao Yan wanted to become the ruler of the Demon Realm?
Gu Yuncheng quietly transmitted his voice to her, "Luoluo, my people found out that he is one of Zhao Yan's subordinates."
This was also not right. Thinking of a possibility, Ling Luoyi asked, "You don't serve Yan Qin Dynasty Zhao Yan, who do you serve?"
