The three of them were all very smart people. After feeling that something was wrong, they immediately saw the scene of Emissary Lian's severed arms being frozen.
They instantly understood that things were bad. Horrified, the three of them forcibly shattered the ice in their bodies one after another and fled out of the hall.
"Hehe, if I let you escape, I'll tear my own head off."
A mocking voice came from the hall.
The entire mansion instantly turned into a huge block of ice. As soon as the three of them fled outside, they were frozen. Their faces were filled with fear.
The entire process only took a few seconds.
Ya Si's figure flashed and returned to Yang Qingxuan's side.
At this moment, only Yun Qiong was left in the hall. She stood there dumbfounded, completely unable to think.
In her opinion, these four people were extremely powerful. They were all Ten-star Thousand Realms Whirling experts. How could they be wiped out in an instant? Who were these three people? Were they all demons?
She had been gathering intelligence in the human territory all year round, so she had some understanding of the experts of the human race. However, she could not match these three people.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Don't kill these people."
Ya Si said, "En."
Yang Qingxuan walked up to Emissary Lian and said, "It seems that you're tired from lifting your arms. You'd better put them down." Then, he pulled Emissary Lian's right arm down and broke it with a snap.
Emissary Lian rolled his eyes. His whole body was frozen, so he could not feel any pain. However, he knew that both of his arms were gone. They were now bare arms.
Yang Qingxuan gently tapped Emissary Lian's body. A wisp of flame entered his body and melted some of the ice on his chest and throat. "Speak. Tell me the details of the plan."
Emissary Lian snorted angrily and glared at Yang Qingxuan as if he was facing death with equanimity.
Yang Qingxuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not a patient person. As long as you're happy. Search his soul."
He stretched out his hand and once again froze Emissary Lian's chest and throat. This time, even his eyes, head, and other parts were all frozen.
It was extremely difficult and dangerous to search the soul of a Ten-star Thousand Realms Whirling expert.
But Onishi himself was an expert in this field, and Yass was a fallen Eternal Sovereign. After the three of them discussed for a while, they began to set up a formation in the mansion.
Yun Qiong stood to the side in a daze, not knowing what to do.
It was as if the three of them were ignoring her. They did not take her down, nor did they let her go. They did not ask her any questions and simply treated her as if she did not exist.
After being stunned for a while, she knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything, so she simply sat quietly on the chair in the hall and watched the three of them work.
After Yang Qingxuan and the other two arranged for a while, they put the ice sculpture of Emissary Lian into the formation.
Afterwards, Yang Qingxuan and Onishi fused and appeared in Yang Xuanzang's body. They then cooperated with Yass to perform a soul-search on Emissary Lian.
Before searching her soul, Yang Xuanzang casually pointed at her and froze her to prevent any accidents from happening.
Emissary Lian floated above the formation. His body was branded with all kinds of ghostly patterns to seal his physical body and stabilize his soul.
Then, he activated the formation and the ice on Emissary Lian's head melted. Bits of soul power were extracted from the top of his head and slowly decomposed into the most primitive runes, which then dissipated in the air.
Yang Xuanzang used the Great Sensing Art to absorb this information bit by bit.
This was the most reliable soul-searching method, but it consumed a lot of energy and required great strength to sustain. Moreover, it was extremely time-consuming.
It extracted the soul bit by bit, decomposed it into the most primitive energy, and released the information contained within.
It was also extremely difficult to perform, especially for high-level martial cultivators whose soul power was extremely terrifying. The slightest carelessness could cause fluctuations that would affect the retrieval of information.
If it weren't for the fact that this person possessed extremely important information, Yang Qingxuan wouldn't have bothered to go through so much trouble.
Several days later, Yang Xuanzang suddenly shouted, "Done."
He opened his eyes and waved his hand lightly. A cold light shot out and sank into Emissary Lian's head.
The soul-searching process was interrupted in an instant. Emissary Lian grunted and died.
Then, his head exploded with a bang and a large amount of soul power poured out. A giant ghost projection appeared behind Yang Xuanzang and sucked in the soul power with all its might.
It chewed a few times and swallowed.
This scene scared Yun Qiong, Qin You, and the others half to death.
Yang Xuanzang didn't extract all of Emissary Lian's information. Who knew how many years this old monster had lived? That would take an unimaginable amount of time.
He only extracted the most recent information. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the Deep Space Race, he extracted several thousand years. Most of this time was spent in seclusion, but he still obtained a lot of useful information.
Because time was of the essence, he had no choice but to stop.
Yang Xuanzang said, "The next siege will be the day after tomorrow. Time is of the essence, so we must inform the City Lord as soon as possible."
He glanced at Yun Qiong, Qin You, and the others. "I understand everything now. Do you want to live or die?"
With a wave of his hand, the cold energy in the entire residence was swept away, and the four regained some of their senses.
Qin You was stunned. "There's still a way out?"
Yang Xuanzang was both angry and amused. "The situation is urgent and we're lacking manpower. As long as the three of you kill the enemy and make great contributions, you'll naturally be able to live."
Qin You said hesitantly, "But …"
Yang Xuanzang waved his hand and interrupted, "I know everything about you. As long as you're willing to fight for the country and the people, everyone will forgive you."
Qin You hurriedly said, "We're willing!"
Yang Xuanzang nodded. He formed a few hand seals and sent them into the three's bodies, placing the same restrictions as Yuan Xiang and Gang Yi.
The three's faces were pale, but they knew that this was their only hope of survival, so they accepted it gladly.
Moreover, they still held a trace of regret. If there was a way out, no one would be willing to be a traitor. Now that they had a chance to return to the race, they were naturally overjoyed.
Yang Xuanzang looked at Yun Qiong and said, "I know about your background. You were originally a human, but were secretly adopted by the other races and raised as a spy."
Yun Qiong's face was pale. "My entire family was killed by the upper echelons of the human race. I want to avenge them. I've long since stopped thinking of myself as a human!"
Yang Xuanzang said, "This is what Emissary Lian told you. You've been taught this since you were young, so you slowly accepted it as the truth. But the truth is, the one who killed your entire family was him. "
"No, that's impossible!"
Yun Qiong's face changed drastically, filled with panic.
This news had a huge impact on her, but Yang Xuanzang looked at her mockingly with pity, as if he was looking at an idiot. She immediately felt her entire body turn cold, and she sank into a state of confusion.
Yang Xuanzang said, "You can judge for yourself whether this is true or not. I can see that you're extremely intelligent, so I don't believe that you didn't suspect anything. Even if you didn't, Emissary Lian's memories show that he's still on guard against you. Once Qingyuan City falls, you'll have no value and can be wiped out. "
