Mo Qi was also unsure, but he had to press on with the interrogation.
A moment later, another person was called in.
Similarly, Mo Qi had him take a pill and then began to question him.
"What is your name?"
"Zeng Dawen."
"Which sect do you belong to?"
"I don't belong to any sect; I am a rogue cultivator."
"Besides your guard duty at Duoshe Cliff, have you accepted any other tasks from any other sects or organizations?"
"No."
"Are you a spy?"
"No."
"Alright, that's all. You can leave now."
Fang Buyi, lying on the ground, revealed a strange smile, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and killing intent. His fingers twitched slightly. In a short while, his hands might recover.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qi suddenly smiled at him and then flicked his fingers a few more times at his body. This time, not only were his hands crippled again, but his legs were also crippled.
Mo Qi naturally knew that as long as a cultivator's soul sea was still flowing and their spiritual energy remained, their body and limbs could recover. The speed of recovery depended on their cultivation and the severity of the injury.
He was conflicted. On one hand, he wanted Fang Buyi to lie on the ground and watch him interrogate others. On the other hand, he feared the latter might suddenly stand up and kill him.
To be safe, he decided to cripple the opponent's hands and feet first. Fang Buyi couldn't help but shed tears, feeling like a hero's final moments.
Feeling safe, Mo Qi, amidst Fang Buyi's groans, called in the next person, gave him a pill, and began questioning him.
"What is your name?"
"Lu Haitong."
"Asking the same questions over and over, what's the point?" Fang Buyi roared. He could no longer bear it. After observing, he thought this young man was either crazy or had too much time on his hands, otherwise, who would do such boring things.
Mo Qi ignored him and continued, "Which sect do you belong to?"
"Baihe Gate of Hongmeng Sea."
Huh? Fang Buyi thought he misheard. He looked up sharply and saw Lu Haitong's eyes were glazed and dull.
Mo Qi was almost in tears. It seemed the pill was still effective. If you don't show up again, my title of "Eternal Pill" will be questioned, and my lifelong reputation will be ruined.
So, from a certain perspective, Mo Qi was grateful to this Lu Haitong.
Xue Nu, witnessing the miracle created by Mo Qi's pill once again, couldn't help but cast a look of admiration at him, with other complex emotions subtly mixed in.
"Why did you infiltrate Duoshe Cliff?" Mo Qi asked, unable to contain his excitement.
"To let in disciples of Baihe Gate and other disciples from the Hongmeng South Sea sects."
Fang Buyi was dumbfounded. What was going on? He had been interrogating day and night, neglecting food and sleep, exhausting himself mentally and physically, yet achieved nothing. This newcomer, with a few random blows, got it all out?
Fang Buyi began to doubt his own existence!
Mo Qi continued to ask, "Did you collude with the Divine Turtle Sect?"
Lu Haitong opened his mouth, about to speak, but his mouth never closed. Instead, it opened wider and wider, tearing his head apart, then continuing downwards, tearing his neck, his belly. Fresh blood flowed continuously, and a terrifying aura instantly permeated the room. Xue Nu turned her head away in fright.
Mo Qi was shocked, not knowing what had happened.
Fang Buyi said, "It's the unique oath curse of Baihe Gate. Once a disciple betrays, the curse is triggered immediately, turning them into blood."
As he spoke, Lu Haitong's entire body disappeared, leaving a pool of blood on the ground and the stool. A stench of blood and decay spread.
Xue Nu repeatedly gagged and could no longer stay. She stood up, covered her mouth, and rushed out.
Mo Qi paused for a moment, then had Wu Siqi outside call Dai Guang in.
Dai Guang seemed to have not gone far and was quickly brought over by Wu Siqi. Mo Qi could hear him asking Liu Sha at the door, "Hasn't Lu Haitong come out yet?"
"The person who just went in? No, he hasn't come out," Liu Sha replied without hesitation.
"Wait a moment, I suddenly feel the urge to urinate. I'll go take care of it before I go in. Every time I go in, I'll be in there for a few hours. If I don't go beforehand, I'll wet myself."
"It won't take long. Now that our Martial Uncle is in charge, things are much faster," Wu Siqi's voice.
Inside the room, Fang Buyi, still lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head, "Not good, he's going to run."
Even before Fang Buyi spoke, Mo Qi had already realized it. As soon as Fang Buyi opened his mouth, Mo Qi had stood up. By the time Fang Buyi finished speaking, Mo Qi had walked to the door and opened it.
Dai Guang saw Mo Qi as if he had seen a ghost. He twisted his body and turned into a red light, speeding away.
Mo Qi also immediately unleashed his movement technique, giving chase at high speed.
Meanwhile, Xue Nu, looking for a secluded spot to vomit, had walked far from the interrogation room. Seeing Dai Guang turn to flee, she immediately leaped to pursue him. In this way, she ended up running ahead of Mo Qi.
Wu Siqi finally realized Dai Guang intended to escape and was about to fly after him when he saw a blur of light and shadow flash past him. His shoulder was pressed, and a pill appeared in his hand. Mo Qi's voice, growing more distant, echoed in the air, "Give this pill to Liu Sha, and then question her."
Wu Siqi stopped at the sound. He glanced at Liu Sha, whose face showed no fluctuation.
"Um, you heard that just now..." Wu Siqi said somewhat shyly.
"I heard," Liu Sha replied calmly. "Give me the pill."
Wu Siqi looked around the room and then said, "Let's go inside first."
By this time, the foul odor in the room had dissipated somewhat, but it was still unpleasant. The two entered the room, and a pungent smell wafted over from time to time, causing them both to frown.
"Uh, let's change rooms," Wu Siqi suggested.
"I think that's a good idea," Liu Sha agreed repeatedly.
Fang Buyi, struggling on the ground, sat up and said in a booming voice, "No, the interrogation must be conducted here." When Mo Qi was present, he dared not be so arrogant, fearing that madman might suddenly cripple his limbs again.
As Wu Siqi and Liu Sha were stunned, the slightly older guard walked over and peered inside from the doorway. He knew something had happened but didn't know what.
Fang Buyi immediately instructed, "Niu Hansheng, you guard the door. We need to continue the interrogation." Niu Hansheng responded with an "is" and closed the door from the outside.
Now, Fang Buyi felt more confident. He cast a commanding gaze at Liu Sha. Liu Sha looked at the pool of blood on the stool opposite and absolutely refused to sit there.
"It's fine, you can stand," Fang Buyi said. It seemed like a great concession, and no further questions were to be entertained.
Liu Sha slowly walked to the center of the room and stood still, turning to look at Wu Siqi, "You ask."
Wu Siqi looked bewildered, "Ask, ask what?"
Fang Buyi said loudly, "Give him the pill first."
"Uh, yes." Wu Siqi suddenly came to his senses, immediately walked over, handed the pill to Liu Sha, and watched her take it. Then he stood there foolishly, just staring at her.
Seeing Liu Sha's eyes begin to glaze over, Fang Buyi guessed the medicine had taken effect. He then asked, "What is your name?"
"Liu Sha."
"Which sect's disciple are you?"
"A disciple of the Divine Turtle Sect from Annan Realm."
"Do you know Dai Guang?"
"Yes."
Fang Buyi's heart stirred slightly. It seemed he would find evidence of the Divine Turtle Sect colluding with the Hongmeng Sea cultivation world.
"When did you meet him?"
"Just now."
Fang Buyi felt a pang of disappointment. "Just now" meant they met when they went to question someone, so this didn't prove anything.
"Why did you tell Dai Guang earlier that Lu Haitong hadn't come out yet?"
"I answered truthfully. I did see that person hadn't come out yet."
"Did your Divine Turtle Sect collude with the overseas immortal cultivation world?"
"I don't know."
"Did the Divine Turtle Sect ask you to do anything related to contacting the overseas cultivation world?"
"No."
Fang Buyi was extremely disappointed. He glanced at Wu Siqi, who was standing there blankly, and waved his hand, "Take her out."
Wu Siqi, having witnessed the entire process and knowing Liu Sha had passed the Martial Uncle's pill test, felt overjoyed. He took Liu Sha's hand and led her out.
Fang Buyi's hand twitched slightly. It had recovered partially but not completely. He instructed Niu Hansheng at the door, "Guard the door for me. I still need some time to recover."
Niu Hansheng agreed, and Fang Buyi then calmed himself and channeled his spiritual energy to repair his injured limbs.
He felt so weary. If he hadn't been injured, he could have gone out and resolved everything. But now, he had the will but not the strength.
After Mo Qi chased out, he saw Dai Guang getting farther and farther away. The ball of light was becoming smaller in his sight, almost the size of his palm.
Xue Nu was between the two, not falling behind, but also not closing the distance with Dai Guang.
Mo Qi took out a pill that could accelerate flight speed. After being chased by Pei Ruxue last time, he had a sudden idea: if he could refine a pill to increase flight speed, then when encountering a strong enemy and needing to escape, but not having time to set up a teleportation array, he could retreat with ease.
This pill was called the "Flash Shift Pill." It was also recorded in the secret refining methods of the Divine Pill Sect. He tried to refine it according to the method but failed. After repeated attempts, he still failed. Based on his understanding of pills, after careful consideration, he tried substituting an ingredient. Unexpectedly, after changing this ingredient, he succeeded.
After taking the Flash Shift Pill, Mo Qi's flight speed indeed increased. He was like a lightning flash, instantly surpassing Xue Nu and rapidly closing the distance with Dai Guang.
Dai Guang kept looking back as he ran. Seeing Mo Qi getting closer, he was so scared that his bile almost came out. He wished he had a pair of wings to escape quickly.
Mo Qi saw the distance shrinking and reached out, almost touching him. As soon as he touched his shoulder, Dai Guang, like a mouse, slipped away with a hiss.
Mo Qi was so angry he felt like spitting blood. He shook his hand, and five claw shadows shot out, slashing towards Dai Guang.
Dai Guang, without looking back, felt the powerful spiritual energy behind him and knew he couldn't resist it directly. He dodged with incredible agility, narrowly avoiding the sharpness of the claw shadows, but was still hit by the spiritual energy. His body suddenly plummeted towards the cliff.
