The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 676: Fighting and Interrogation

Inside the Laurel Hall, Meng Chanjuan, who was entangled by numerous roots all over her body, had actually noticed someone approaching outside the hall a long time ago, but she didn't care too much.

Because if someone eavesdropped, it would make her even more excited, and the effect of her "cultivation" would be better, so she had always let this situation go. After all, there was a formation to isolate her, and people outside could only hear a few noises at most.

This was also how the news spread in the palace about her fooling around in the Laurel Palace during the morning hours.

But the deputy commander never imagined that the person who came to "eavesdrop" today not only broke all the formation restrictions of the "Laurel Palace", but also threw a ball of "True Sun Fire" in to "cheer her up"!
At that time, she was immersed in the "knowledge" instilled by the "root of education". Her spirit and body were about to reach the peak. Her brain was blank, ready to welcome the joy brought by "knowledge".

But the sudden arrival of the "True Fire of the Sun" destroyed everything. What was transmitted from the "root of nurturing people" was no longer "joy", but turned into extreme "pain".

It was an all-round "pain" from the body to the soul. After all, the "True Fire of the Sun" was the nemesis of all evil spirits. Not only did it have a "special attack" on the evil power of the "Root of Cultivation", but the "fire" itself also had a restraint on "plants".

The severely damaged "root of nurturing" naturally passed its feelings to Meng Chanjuan who was connected to it through those roots.

As a result, the deputy commander of the internal guards' eyes rolled back in an instant and he fainted from the pain.

But the roots extending from the ground surrounded her tightly, protecting her from all sides.

Zhao Chen had not expected that the effect of his experiment on the power of "True Sun Fire" would be so good. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity. He immediately separated his spirit and entered the "Star Chariot", using the "Purple Light Ring" to borrow the power of the fifth-grade talisman.

Then, the "Ancient Sword Zhu Xi" imbued with the power of the "Five-Directions Demon-Exterminating Spell" rose into the sky, and in an instant a big sun rose in the "Laurel Hall", and countless sword qi like sunlight "shone" on the roots that emerged from the ground.

This is the "Great Sun Sword to Kill Evil", one of the famous skills of Ma Guangming, the "Sun Divine Sword".

The roots withered quickly the moment they were "illuminated" by the sword light, but the countless "knowledge" accumulated in them turned into water, gushing out from the top of the roots, like a "water dragon" flying straight to Zhao Chen's forehead.

"Oh my god!" Zhao Chen, who has the ability of "mental pollution defense", is not afraid of being shocked by "knowledge", but the visual pollution of the current scene really makes him "sick".

Fortunately, Zhao Chen has always had enough protective power, especially the "Five-Directions Demon-Suppressing Spiritual Sound". Even if it is not used with related musical instruments, it can vibrate the air and turn it into a sound wave barrier.

"The morning light illuminates the scenery, and the demons disappear by themselves"

As runes containing the "true meaning of the law" flashed brightly on the sound wave barrier, the "water dragon" formed by the gathering of "knowledge" was finally blocked.

The two sides were in a stalemate for only a moment, and as the roots completely withered, decayed, and finally turned into dust, the flow of "knowledge" also lost its successor and finally dissipated completely.

Actually, these roots are not the power that Meng Chanjuan herself possesses, but evil creatures that she summoned through rituals such as sacrifices, similar to the vines in the previous "Yingxian Pavilion".

Although they possess powers at the "supernatural" level, they are chaotic and irrational. Without "human" control, they are not difficult to deal with.

So after Meng Chanjuan fainted, Zhao Chen easily eliminated her. After all, if she was still awake, she would most likely not let those roots confront her "Great Sun Evil Sword" head-on. It would be a normal choice to retreat underground and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Of course, being able to defeat the enemy with one sword is not because Ma Guangming’s sword moves are so mysterious, but more because of the “Five Emperors’ Demon-Exterminating Spell” attached to it and blessed by a temporary talisman.

After dealing with those roots, Zhao Chen looked at Meng Chanjuan, whose fair body had fallen back to the ground but was still unconscious.

It must be said that this deputy commander was also a beauty. Not only did she have a charming face, but her figure, which was usually hidden under the inner guard armor, was also quite attractive.

However, Zhao Chen had no mood to appreciate it. Although the fight was short, the fluctuations of magic power and vitality were not small, which would definitely attract other guards and worshippers in the palace. So, with a thought, his two innate spells, "Golden Seal to Suppress Demons" and "Silver Armor to Defend Demons", were instantly cast out and fell on Meng Chanjuan.

The former suppressed her spirit, making her unable to cast spells, while the latter restricted her body's movements while covering her with silver armor.

"Silver Armor of Demons" is an excellent defensive spell for oneself, but it is an indestructible "cage" for the enemy.

After doing all this, Zhao Chen took Meng Chanjuan into the "Black Domain" passage and returned to the warehouse where the "corpse refining" was located.

Half a quarter of an hour after he left, the inner guards came in tremblingly to check. Soon, the news that Deputy Commander Meng had been abducted by the enemy spread throughout the palace, and the capital of Yuequan Kingdom was in complete chaos.

But this had nothing to do with Zhao Chen. He was currently interrogating Meng Chanjuan, who was in a semi-conscious state, in the presence of two internal guards.

Speaking of which, Zhao Chen originally wanted to use the "Sixteen Golden Star Libra Sword" to directly take away Meng Chanjuan's "ownership", but he was reminded by the "Xingcha" that the other party already had a "master", and such a forceful robbery would inevitably attract the attention of its master.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Chen had to settle for the second best and took out the "Mind Control Ring" that had not been used for a long time, and used the "Stupid Mind Control Method" from the "Twelve Methods of Mind Light" to temporarily control her mind while she was unconscious.

Combined with my "Five Immortals Spiritual Qi" and "Glib" abilities, she shouldn't be able to break free from my control even if I ask her some sensitive questions...

Although he thought so, Zhao Chen decided to proceed step by step and start with less important things. So after a little consideration, he said:

"Why did you ask people to bring back the 'refined corpse' of 'Moon Ghost' Qian Hua?"

The internal guard named Han, who was sitting nearby and had been feeling uneasy since Zhao Chen's return, also pricked up his ears. It was obvious that he also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Meng Chanjuan, who was fixed in a set of silver armor, frowned, and then replied somewhat "shyly": "My treasure is watered by the 'Moonlight Treasure Spring'. Every time it 'transmits' knowledge to me, it must eat a Gangsha realm cultivator who practices the 'Moonlight Demon Explanation'.

"Although Qian Hua's corpse refining is not as good as that of a regular cultivator, it is barely enough."
