He didn’t need to threaten him at all. After seeing that Wang Baole had a way to indirectly absorb Dan Zhouzi’s soul and that his body had grown, Shan Lingzi immediately felt frightened. He didn’t feel that there was still a chance to revive after being absorbed like that. Although he didn’t know how Wang Baole did it, the weirdness coming from Wang Baole’s body still made Shan Lingzi’s heart tremble. His gaze was completely filled with fear.

“Fellow Daoist, let’s talk things through nicely. Don’t be rash…” Shan Lingzi shivered as he spoke anxiously. He was scared that he would have no time to say it. But as he spoke, Wang Baole raised his right hand and grabbed him. He feigned the action of throwing him towards the demonic eye behind him and spoke calmly.

“I wasn’t rash, it’s just that there’s no use in letting you live!”

“There is a use!” Shan Lingzi screamed in horror rapidly.

“Fellow Daoist, I… I can recognize you as my master! Master, so long as you promise not to kill me, I… I can help you open the storage ring, I… I can tell you the origins of the three items inside the storage ring. I can also tell you how to use them. Please don’t be rash, Master, I’m very useful!” Shan Lingzi, who became completely submissive as he tried not to get absorbed, spoke extremely hurriedly.

And that was exactly what Wang Baole needed. So before absorbing Dan Zhouzi just now, he purposely took out Shan Lingzi. His goal was to let him see all that. That way, he wouldn’t have to interrogate Shan Lingzi.

Now, it looked to be pretty effective, and Shan Lingzi had already started recognizing him as his master. Wang Baole was pretty satisfied with his intelligence, but he furrowed his eyebrows and displayed a little hesitation, looking as though he was deliberating about whether it was worth it.

He guessed that Wang Baole’s hesitation was displayed on purpose to frighten him, but there was nothing Shan Lingzi could do about it. He could only grit his teeth and say some valuable information first to gain Wang Baole’s trust.

“Master, I obtained the three items in the storage ring from ruins. The three items are the paper human cutout, one of the nine great imitations of the Galaxy Bow, and the… wishing bottle!”

Listening to this point, Wang Baole got interested and looked towards Shan Lingzi.

Noticing Wang Baole’s gaze, Shan Lingzi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. But he knew that he couldn’t hesitate now. So, he gritted his teeth again and continued speaking.

“The paper human cutout has mysterious origins, but according to my research and checking the ancient literature for all these years, I’m guessing it’s connected to the legendary Graveyard of Stars!

“Legend has it that every time the Graveyard of Stars is activated, several boats go out to ferry all those who have places. After gathering everyone, the boats take them back to the Graveyard of Stars, which no one knows the specific location of. And the boats are very special. Only those with places can see them. For others, the boats are invisible!

“And legend has it that the ferrymen on the boats from the Graveyard of Stars are… paper human cutouts!

“So, I’m guessing that the paper human cutout in the storage ring should have been a ferryman of one of the boats previously. But for some reason, he didn’t return after going out…”

Speaking to that point, Shan Lingzi didn’t continue. Instead, he looked piteously towards Wang Baole. Obviously, he wanted Wang Baole to guarantee that he wouldn’t kill him.

Even if the so-called guarantee was just a spoken promise, Shan Lingzi would be willing to accept that. He knew that he had no right to make Wang Baole swear that he wouldn’t kill him and that a spoken promise wasn’t safe. However, he had no other choice, and there wasn’t much use in keeping information about the items in the storage ring from Wang Baole.

After all… since he could discover the information, it wasn’t that much of a secret. One portion came from ancient literature, and he learned the other portion by himself. If Wang Baole spent a little time, he would be able to find the information.
