Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 334 0333: Interrogation

Half an hour later, Lin Changfeng, who was completely imprisoned and tied to a chair, slowly woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw Cheng Zongyang looking at him with a smile, and his face suddenly darkened. Then, he found himself tied to a chair and unable to move, and then he realized his situation.

He tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body again, but found that his calves were gone, and his cultivation and spiritual consciousness were restricted.

"Bastard! If you want to kill him, just kill him. Why bother?" Lin Changfeng's reaction was somewhat beyond Cheng Zongyang's expectations. He did not shout but spoke very calmly.

Lin Changfeng knew that he had no strength to resist and could only admit defeat, but he had no intention of begging for mercy. He just looked at Cheng Zongyang expressionlessly.

He was not crazy after losing a part of his calf. At most he would die.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and said, "If I wanted to kill you, why would I keep you alive until now? If you can answer my questions and satisfy me, I can consider letting you go. At least you have your cultivation, so what's the harm of a broken leg? There is still a way to regenerate a broken limb, right?"

Lin Changfeng frowned: "What do you want to know?"

Cheng Zongyang was very satisfied with the other party's decisiveness and asked, "What is the Dark Realm of the Shadow Alliance?"

When Lin Changfeng heard this question, he looked at Cheng Zongyang in surprise. But he quickly reacted and sneered, "Did you hear it from that kid?"

Cheng Zongyang was not surprised when he heard this.

He knew that although Lin Feng was mature and knew how to endure, how could he really hide it from someone like Lin Changfeng, who had killed countless people, was experienced and like an old fox?
He could even guess the reason why Lin Changfeng did not expose Lin Feng. It was simply because he saw through Lin Feng's purpose and knew that he posed no threat.

In Lin Changfeng's eyes, Lin Feng was like a kitten that had not yet grown up. How could an adult like him care about a kitten?

Cheng Zongyang did not respond to the other party's question, but just reminded: "Pay attention to the question and answer me."

"Are you sure you want to let me go?" Lin Changfeng asked back.

Cheng Zongyang's face darkened: "Third time is better than the last time!"

"Okay. Anyway, there is no choice in this situation." Lin Changfeng sighed and said, "The top leaders of the Shadow Alliance recorded one thing. The inheritance of the Shadow Alliance came from the Dark Realm. The supreme skill, the Shadow Evil Secret Book, also came from the Dark Realm. But the existence of the Dark Realm, according to the secret records inside, is said to be a secret realm, similar to the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

However, according to records, this dark world was suddenly sealed hundreds of years ago and disappeared. No matter how hard you try, you can't open it. Later, someone said that people who practice Shadow Evil can open it.

But after I successfully built my foundation, I tried, but it didn’t work. Then I took the Shadow Evil Secret Book and left the Shadow Alliance.”

"Where is the dark world located?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

"The Shadow Alliance's territory is deep in the Fire Region, and the Dark Realm is naturally at the core of the Shadow Alliance's headquarters. The Shadow Alliance's territory is also a forbidden area for all immortal cultivators. The Shadow Alliance is a force that even the immortal sects do not want to provoke. It is tacitly regarded as the sixth force outside the five major immortal sects."

At this point, Lin Changfeng suddenly asked, "Do you want to go?"

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the other party with an inexplicable look. Seeing this, Lin Changfeng immediately said:
"To enter the Shadow Alliance territory deep in the Fire Region, you need someone to lead you, or you need a route map. To enter the headquarters from the outside, you either use the Shadow Alliance's teleportation array or walk. There is only one way to walk, and if you go the wrong way, you can only wait to face all kinds of amazing flames, fire poisons, fire monsters, fire spirits, as well as mazes, illusions, killing arrays, etc. set up by the Shadow Alliance. Even Nascent Soul cultivators will not go in casually. I can take you in."

Cheng Zongyang laughed when he heard it and said, "Put away your little thoughts."

Then he continued, "Then why do you say that the Xuanyuan Secret Realm is similar to the Dark Realm? Compare them from the information you have read?"

Seeing that Cheng Zongyang was not taking the bait, Lin Changfeng could only sigh slightly and said, "That's right. There is already a map of Xuanyuan Secret Realm. I compared it with some maps and some records left inside the Shadow Alliance. There are some similarities, but not complete."

"Where is the map?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Lin Changfeng: "There are basically one in each of the five major immortal sects' offices and chambers of commerce. But the ones circulating on the market are all castrated versions. Only the internal ones have the complete ones, but they are basically not sold to the outside."

Cheng Zongyang continued to ask questions, and after making sure that everything had been said, Cheng Zongyang took out the gourd and walked towards Lin Changfeng.

Seeing this, Lin Changfeng's face changed and he said angrily: "You are not trustworthy!!"

Cheng Zongyang laughed: "That's right. What's the matter?"

Having said that, he forcefully poured a mouthful of liquid into the other person's mouth.

Regardless of whether what the other person said was true or false, there were at least two things that could be confirmed.

One is the location of the Dark World, and the other is that the Xuanyuan Secret Realm may be related to the Dark World.

This requires him to understand it personally. Then the value of Lin Changfeng will be gone.

So, he took the other person into the wilderness world and came to the Yuzhongshi Market.

"Ringwraiths, extract the dark evil spirit power from the opponent and sell it all."

[Extracting the Black Evil's soul power will deprive the opponent of his soul. Are you sure you want to sell it? ]

"Yes!"

Cheng Zongyang did not hesitate. Although sacrificing the other party's soul could enhance the spiritual energy of the wilderness world, it was a drop in the bucket, so it would be better to sell it for more valuable points.

[The target's black evil spirit power is detected to be the fourth level, worth 40,000 points, sold successfully! ]

As soon as the Ringwraith finished speaking, Cheng Zongyang saw a confused soul being extracted from Lin Changfeng's body and disappeared the next second.

At the same time, his points account had an additional 40,000 points.

Cheng Zongyang didn't expect that the black evil spirit power cultivated by this guy was so valuable. But he earned a lot of points and was in a good mood.

"Not only is this guy rich, but even his death can bring me benefits. Not bad." Cheng Zongyang changed his mind and took Lin Changfeng's body directly to the altar space on the seventh floor.

On the ground of the altar space, the nine corpses from before were placed, and including Lin Changfeng, there were exactly ten corpses.

"Sacrifice the body." Cheng Zongyang did not waste time and took action immediately.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the altar space.

[Detection of nine corpses with Qi training level, which can restore 0.0009% of the spiritual vein storage volume under the Ten Thousand Races Realm. One corpse with foundation building level can restore 0.001% of the spiritual vein storage volume under the Ten Thousand Races Realm. After the sacrifice, 0.0019% of the spiritual vein storage volume under the Ten Thousand Races Realm can be restored. Are you sure to sacrifice? ]

Cheng Zongyang looked at the data in front of him with his eyes wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Oh my god!" He couldn't help but swear. This recovery method is too amazing! According to this ratio, to restore 100% of the spiritual vein reserves, wouldn't it require the sacrifice of 100 million Qi training cultivators? There probably aren't that many cultivators in the entire Ice and Fire Immortal Cultivation World.

Although the corpses of those who have reached the foundation building stage or above can restore more spiritual vein reserves, the number required is also extremely large. Moreover, this is only to restore the original reserves. If you want to increase the reserves, the number of cultivators required is unimaginable.

Cheng Zongyang sighed helplessly. He now deeply realized that restoring the spiritual energy and spiritual veins of this world would be a very long process, and he had to continuously receive corpses. Otherwise, relying only on Ma Yue's resources, it would take him hundreds of years to recover less than 10%.

"It seems that we still need to find a way to deal with it later." Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and put the matter aside for the time being. He knew very well that such a big thing could not be accomplished in a short period of time.

After returning to the first floor, Cheng Zongyang did not stay for too long and turned back to the outside world.

After a moment's thought, he disguised himself again, left the inn and headed towards Ma Yue's residence.

Cheng Zongyang stayed at Ma Yue's place for three days.

During these three days, he used the mole beast to dig out a relatively large underground space. At the same time, he was also waiting for Luo Dingran to purchase the magic array formation.

When the illusion array formation was obtained, Cheng Zongyang immediately set about setting up the teleportation array and the illusion array.

With these formations, if you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you can quickly leave here.

After dealing with this matter, the time agreed with the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce also arrived. But before that, he went to Chunmanlou first and got the residence status of Ma Yue, Li Cungang, Li Yihe, and Lin Feng from Tan Sanniang, and then went to the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce.

It would be more convenient for the four of them to have resident status here in the future.

One copy of the Black Evil Secret Codex had already been sold. Luo Dingran spent 78 points at the price of 78 points per pill to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills in bulk.

When Lin Youfeng and Cheng Zongyang settled the transaction, both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

Lin Youfeng was wearing a gorgeous robe and had an elegant temperament. He smiled and said to Cheng Zongyang:

"Fellow Daoist Luo, this transaction is very pleasant. I hope we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. If there are more needs, my Qinglong Chamber of Commerce will do its best to meet your needs! This is the VIP order of my Qinglong Chamber of Commerce. As long as there is a Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, if you show this order, the local manager will respect you as a VIP and do his best to meet your needs."

After saying that, he took out a cyan token and gave it to Cheng Zongyang.

After two transactions, more than a hundred foundation-building pills were exchanged, which was enough to raise the reputation and status of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce in the main city among many competing chambers of commerce. It could also attract more talents and build relationships. The benefits gained were absolutely huge. Therefore, he felt that his attitude towards Cheng Zongyang was correct.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, took the token, clasped his fists in thanks, and responded: "Elder Lin is right. This cooperation went very smoothly, and I look forward to continuing to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce in the future."

Afterwards, Cheng Zongyang decided on the things that would be needed later:

Tens of millions of kilograms of spiritual rice, two hundred thousand ice and fire essences, one hundred thousand kilograms of first-level monster flesh and blood, one million kilograms of alien beast flesh and blood, no less than ten thousand of various first-level elixirs that promote cultivation, spiritual objects that increase local spiritual energy, second-hand first-level magic weapon space, more spiritual stones and spiritual crystals, etc., with a total value of more than a hundred foundation-building pills.

"It's scheduled for three years from now. I'll come back in three years. Of course, it won't be later than four years."

In three or four years, perhaps things will calm down here.

Lin Youfeng suppressed his excitement and agreed without hesitation: "Not a problem at all! Then I'll just wait for Fellow Daoist Luo to come again!"

After leaving the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, Cheng Zongyang walked on the bustling streets, thinking about his follow-up plans in his mind.

In the following time, he would wait for Li Cungang to enter the Qi training stage before returning to Yufeng Immortal City. There would be some days in between. During this time, he would not be idle, as the affairs of Zi'an County had basically been settled.

Next, he planned to visit the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

He can't go to the dark world for the time being, but he can still enter the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

Through understanding, the Xuanyuan Secret Realm is located deep in the Ice Domain, which is similar to the Shadow Alliance. Each main city has a teleportation array to the depths of the Ice Domain. There is also a city deep in the Ice Domain, called Ice City, which was built by the five major immortal sects.

There are a large number of people, and they are a mixed bunch, but with people from the five major immortal sects in charge, the rules are naturally strict.

Having made the decision, Cheng Zongyang just said something to Li Yihe and the others, and then went to the Ice City in the Ice Region through the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce's long-distance teleportation array. At the same time, he also asked the Chamber of Commerce for a complete map of the Xuanyuan Secret Realm inside.

Baili Xi naturally agreed to this insignificant request.

Because of Cheng Zongyang's relationship, his power level in the Chamber of Commerce has naturally increased. Now he has become the deacon of the branch of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, and he has 10% of the dividend rights and control over the branch.

This is far more powerful than being a steward!
Therefore, he was extremely grateful and respectful to Cheng Zongyang. Not only did he give him a map, he also took out a book of Xuanyuan Secret Realm information that only high-level officials had.

Through the secret realm information provided by Baili Xi, Cheng Zongyang also gained a better understanding of the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

As the teleportation array was activated, Cheng Zongyang also disappeared into the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce branch and headed to the main city for transit.

When he arrived at the main city, after showing the token and arranging the teleportation, Cheng Zongyang was already in an extremely bright place.

At first, the temperature around him was extremely cold, but this strong feeling just appeared and then disappeared in an instant, replaced by a suitable temperature that was neither too hot nor too cold. Cheng Zongyang immediately understood that this was his adaptability talent being activated, and he was constantly adapting to the temperature changes in the outside world.

"Come down!" A rough voice instantly drew Cheng Zongyang's attention.

He looked up and saw a bearded man staring at him intently.

Cheng Zongyang quickly glanced around and walked down from the teleportation array without hesitation.

"Another Qigong practitioner trying his luck."

The bearded man muttered. There were also many people around, and when they saw Cheng Zongyang, they just glanced at him lightly and didn't pay too much attention.

Cheng Zongyang noticed that many people around him were using their protective Qi to resist the extremely cold weather. In the crowd, he also saw quite a few immortal cultivators and some ordinary people in thick clothing.

Without thinking too much, you can know that those ordinary people are either doing things here to earn spirit stones, or following the warriors into the Xuanyuan Secret Realm to explore and try their luck. After all, this secret realm only allows non-cultivators to enter.

Cheng Zongyang decided to walk around Ice City first to get to know the situation.

The entire ice city is covered in silver, and the city walls and house walls are all made of ice. In this extremely cold environment, these ice walls are as solid as rocks, and their hardness is no less than that of real rocks.

Cheng Zongyang was wearing a dark blue robe with delicate dark patterns on it, which were faintly visible under the light of the Ice City. His hair was neatly tied up, revealing a resolute face behind the disguise.

There was curiosity and vigilance in his eyes, and he carefully observed the surrounding environment as he walked.
