Chapter 657: Interrogation

“You want me to let a protector of the Ancestor Mother Religion off? I can’t make any promises based on most conditions you might provide,” Xue Ying’s voice continued reverberating within this sealed world. He was starting to negotiate with Protector Huo Zhu.

Naturally, this was done to stall for more time.

Most of his focus was actually placed on his Cultivation Eden. His luminous sun force had entered it directly, where it sealed the soul of the blue-eyed man who was in a deep sleep, his soul lost in the illusory realm.

“Teacher,” Xue Ying simultaneously contacted his teacher, the Bloodshed God Emperor.

“Xue Ying, what’s the matter?” replied the Bloodshed God Emperor, who was in the middle of cultivating in front of the Cosmos Furnace.

“I’ve captured a protector from the Ancestor Mother Religion using my illusory realm. How should I handle him?” Xue Ying asked. A protector captured alive would have a much higher value than a dead protector. As for how he could make use of this value, Xue Ying really had no clue. After all, he was clear that directly asking for information was not an option.

A superpower like the Ancestor Mother Religion was bound to have preventive methods in place. As such, he had decided to ask his teacher for help.

Situated in front of the Cosmos Furnace, the crimson-robed Bloodshed God Emperor fell in a daze. ‘This brat captured a protector from the Ancestor Mother Religion? When did it become so easy to deal with those protectors?’

Even though he paid great importance to this disciple of his, he was still inwardly comparing him with his Eldest Disciple Brother, Monarch Green—in other words, he was only paying attention to Xue Ying’s potential for growth!

In the Bloodshed God Emperor’s heart, this little disciple of his was still too tender; he had only just opened his Dao path, so he could, at most, be considered a new Paragon. Compared to peak Paragons like Monarch Hex Cricket, the White Sovereign King, and the White Devil King, there was still a considerable gap. As for Monarch Green, who could even fight against Rulers, the difference in combat power was even more significant! Forget combat power, even their experience and horizons were just too far apart.

Even he, the Bloodshed God Emperor, had experienced many dangers and opportunities as a Paragon. He had also been to two other cosmoses.

Pang Yi too had been to other cosmoses and encountered many opportunities.

Compared to these old men…

Xue Ying indeed was too tender. He had only recently breached a million years of cultivation and had just opened his Dao path. The only opportunity he had was his entering of the Starting Ground, and the trial he took there was one meant for stage four World Deities! Thus, in the eyes of the Bloodshed God Emperor, the Temporal Island Lord, and the other rulers, Xue Ying was a tender little flower.

So young and fragile that it would take a very long time for the soil to nourish it, for the water to feed it, and for the sun to protect it, before eventually blooming with incomparable beauty.

‘This disciple of mine has just opened his Dao path, yet he already killed one protector and now even captured another one alive? The Ancestor Mother Religion should most likely be speechless.’ The Bloodshed God Emperor could not help but laugh. ‘Even the Primal Master, the Abyss Primogenitor, and the others will be left speechless by this news.’

All of these elders together had managed to get rid of just two protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion over a very long time.

But now, Xue Ying went and dealt with two protectors by himself.

“Xue Ying.” The Bloodshed God Emperor was inwardly shocked and sighing, but he still managed to ask Xue Ying to do something. “You should hurry up and proceed with your interrogation. The people from the Ancestor Mother Religion are definitely already seeking out the true body of this protector you captured alive! They’ll be waking him up forcibly as soon as they can.”

“How can I interrogate him?” Xue Ying asked.

“Ask him about the way they proceeded from their home cosmos to our cosmos, and where the route that led them here is,” the Bloodshed God Emperor replied. “Try thinking up a non-conventional way of interrogating him. Don’t be too direct. I’ve once captured a protector but asking him a single question led to his soul crumbling apart. It seems they have some preventive measures in place that work similar to our oath-breaking punishments.”

“Alright.”

“This position of their cosmos passage is vital. Asking him directly won’t help in any way. It will all come down to the method you employ,” the Bloodshed God Emperor said. “Xue Ying, your teacher believes in you.”

…

Within the Cultivation Eden.

“Hu.”

A luminous sun force avatar appeared on a mountain peak looking at the blue-eyed man who was fast asleep.

Xue Ying was at a loss. He had asked his teacher about how he should proceed with the interrogation, but he now understood that even his teacher knew of no sure way of succeeding. After all, his own attempt at it had caused the protector’s soul to crumble.
