The middle-aged man was so scared that he was trembling all over. Cold sweat the size of beans dripped down his face like rain.
Chen Nan squatted down and said faintly, "You should have done this earlier. Speak."
"My Junior Brother has … taken her back."
The middle-aged man was in so much pain that his teeth were chattering and his tongue was stiff. He couldn't even speak fluently.
Chen Nan stared at him. Seeing that the guy didn't say anything else, Chen Nan slapped him directly, causing two of his teeth to fly out. He said coldly, "Do you want me to ask you everything? Tell me everything you need to know and I'll spare your life. "
Seeing a glimmer of hope in despair, the middle-aged man's turbid eyes flashed. He couldn't hide the surprise on his face. "You … You're really willing to let me go?"
"That depends on your performance."
Chen Nan glanced at him contemptuously and said, "If you didn't like what you said just now, I would have chopped your bones and fed them to the dogs, not to mention letting you go. But if you're honest and tell me everything you need to know, I promise I won't kill you. "
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "Why … Why should I believe you?"
"Slap, slap, slap …"
Chen Nan slapped him three times in the face. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. His teeth and blood flew out. "Because I can control your life and death now. You're not qualified to negotiate with me. I don't need you to believe me because I always keep my word. It's up to you to decide whether you want to live or die. "
The middle-aged man fell into silence.
After a short hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time!"
Chen Nan shrugged and motioned him to continue.
"I'm from the Imperial Corpse Sect. We're fighting for the Spirit-gathering Fruit because we want to control Su Qingqing …"
"Wait!"
Chen Nan interrupted him and said, "The Imperial Corpse Sect? What's your relationship with the Imperial Corpse Sect? "
A trace of disdain flashed across the middle-aged man's face when he mentioned the Imperial Corpse Sect. He said, "Our Imperial Corpse Sect is hidden from the world and not many people know about it. The Imperial Corpse Sect is just a dog that we've raised to block bullets for us."
Chen Nan seemed to have understood something.
The Imperial Corpse Sect was hidden very deeply, and the Imperial Corpse Sect was there to shelter them from the wind and rain.
If someone from the Imperial Corpse Sect did something that angered the heavens and the people, the world would think that it was the Imperial Corpse Sect who did it. Thus, they would vent their anger on the Imperial Corpse Sect, while the Imperial Corpse Sect would get away with it and continue to do shameful things in secret.
Now that the Imperial Corpse Sect had been destroyed by Chen Nan, there were some things that the Imperial Corpse Sect had to do themselves.
Chen Nan frowned and said, "The people of the Imperial Corpse Sect are all warriors. Why are you a cultivator?"
"My Imperial Corpse Sect is divided into two factions. One faction cultivates martial arts, and the other cultivates truth. There are also a few geniuses who cultivate both martial arts and dao."
Dual cultivation of martial arts!
Chen Nan couldn't help but think of Long Zhigang, the guy who suddenly transferred back to Yu Tan Middle School. He used to be one of the four school bullies in the school. That guy was a martial artist, and he fought with him on the road last time.
"Long Zhigang is from your Imperial Corpse Sect, right?"
The middle-aged man shook his head. "I've never heard of this person."
Chen Nan saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask any more questions. He said, "You said that you took the Spirit-Gathering Fruit to control Su Qingqing. What's going on?"
"Su Qingqing is the descendant of the Saintess of the Immortal Spirits. Moreover, she has fused with the Saintess' right arm, so her body contains extremely powerful energy. Therefore, we want to kill you and snatch the Spirit-Gathering Fruit. Then, we'll use a disguise technique to have one of my junior brothers pretend to be you to control Su Qingqing's consciousness. Then, we'll feed her the Spirit-Gathering Fruit. By then, with Su Qingqing's feelings for you, my junior brother will definitely be able to refine her into a battle corpse and use her for the Imperial Corpse Sect. "
Hearing this, Chen Nan was instantly enraged.
Just like the Imperial Corpse Sect, they wanted to refine Su Qingqing into a battle corpse!
Chen Nan clenched his fists and resisted the urge to smash the guy in front of him to death. He said, "Where's the chicken? Where did your junior brother take it? "
"He can't take off his storage ring. He's going to take it back to the branch to refine it. He's on his way back to the Imperial Corpse Sect branch. I'm afraid it's too late for you to chase after him now," said the middle-aged man.
Refine the Black-haired Pheasant?
Chen Nan wasn't worried about this at all, unless the Imperial Corpse Sect branch had a master of the Reaching Heaven State.
After all, although the dead chicken's internal energy was damaged, its body was at the Second Sky of the Reaching Heaven State. It wouldn't be that easy to refine it.
"How far is your branch from here?"
The middle-aged man fell into hesitation. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. You'd better kill me."
Without another word, Chen Nan pulled out his dagger and cut him a few times. The guy was in so much pain that he screamed and cried for his parents. Chen Nan then said, "I said I won't kill you. If you don't tell me, I'll cut you 5,000 times and let you see your bones and organs!"
"I … I …"
The middle-aged man's mouth kept trembling. Seeing that Chen Nan's dagger was about to fall again, he hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! The Imperial Corpse Sect branches are all over the world. Fifty miles south is the South Lu Branch. "
"The South Lu Branch?" Chen Nan said coldly. "How many masters are there?"
The middle-aged man was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly said, "I'm the deputy leader of the South Lu Branch. In the branch, besides the leader who's at the Seventh Sky of the Imperial Dao Realm, there are two other deputy leaders who are at the Sixth Sky of the Imperial Dao Realm. The rest are all below the Fifth Sky of the Imperial Dao Realm."
Chen Nan was secretly shocked.
The Imperial Corpse Sect's strength was indeed not something the Imperial Corpse Sect could compare to.
The sect master of the Imperial Corpse Sect was only at the Fourth Firmament of the Imperial Corpse Sect, while the leader of a random branch of the Imperial Corpse Sect was already at the Seventh Firmament of the Imperial Corpse Sect. How terrifying was the strength of the sect master of the Imperial Corpse Sect?
Chen Nan didn't dare to imagine it, but he couldn't be bothered to think about it.
"How many people are there in total in the South Lu Branch?"
"There are more than two hundred people in a branch, but they're basically scattered all over the place. There are probably only twenty or thirty people left in the branch."
Chen Nan had basically asked all the questions he needed to ask.
In order to prevent himself from being fooled, he suddenly raised his dagger and stabbed it hard into the middle-aged man's abdomen. He glared at him and said, "How dare you lie to me!"
The middle-aged man was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. He desperately shook his head. "No, I really didn't lie to you. I'm telling you the truth!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chen Nan pulled out his dagger.
Blood gushed out. The middle-aged man was covered in blood from head to toe. He had already turned into a bloody man. However, he sneered inwardly. Although there weren't many masters in the branch, there were many powerful battle corpses. He felt that Chen Nan wouldn't be able to return from this trip!
He looked at Chen Nan and said in a trembling voice, "I've said everything I needed to say. You … you can let me go now, right?"
"Of course!"
Chen Nan pulled out the four long swords nailed to his body and said, "You've done well. I can give you a quick death."
The middle-aged man panicked when he heard this. "You … you said you wouldn't kill me. You can't kill me!"
Chen Nan sneered and directly cut off his head with a sword.
"All is fair in war!"
Chen Nan put away his sword and quickly chased toward the south.
