When Wu Yi entered the palace, he saw a red-clothed woman sitting on the main seat, and a black-clothed man sitting below her.
The red-clothed woman wore a scarlet fox mask, and her figure was extremely voluptuous.
Her clothes were also made of extraordinary cloth. The cloth used for a normal robe was enough to make more than ten sets of clothes for her.
Wu Yi was instinctively afraid of this red-clothed woman, and didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
Wang Daoyuan, who was using his Panoramic Perception, felt his blood boil.
He was worried that his emotions would disturb Wu Yi, so he immediately circulated his water spirit energy to calm himself down.
On the other side, Wu Yi wasn't affected at all.
He bowed, "Wu Yi greets Hall Master."
After speaking, he cupped his hands towards the black-clothed man, "Greetings, Lord You Lang."
This red-clothed woman was called Scarlet Fox, and she was the person in charge of the Blood Shadow Mountain's Northern Branch.
She was said to be an early Zifu Realm cultivator, but Wu Yi couldn't feel her spirit energy at all.
The black-clothed man was the number one assassin of the Northern Branch, You Lang. He was still at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and it seemed like he didn't have enough spirit stones to exchange for a Yin Yang Purple Jade.
Wang Daoyuan was quite happy. As long as he didn't open his Zifu, he could take him down and refine him into his clone.
Wu Yi and You Lang's clones exchanged for a Yin Yang Purple Jade each.
Scarlet Fox asked, "Wu Yi, you accepted the mission to assassinate Wang Daoyuan of the Jade Spring Wang Family. In the past twenty years, Wang Daoyuan has been living well, but there's been no news of you.
How do you explain this? "
Wu Yi immediately recounted his experiences in the past twenty years according to Wang Daoyuan's altered memories.
Scarlet Fox muttered, "What you said is too bizarre. You were able to enter the outer regions of the Sky Slash Mountain Range, and you were able to escape from an ancient cultivator's cave.
Your words don't have any evidence or witnesses, so how can I believe you?
You Lang, what do you think? "
You Lang replied, "Hall Master, in my opinion, Wu Yi's words can't be trusted, but we can't be sure that he's lying either.
Wu Yi is already at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and is one of the top experts in our Northern Branch. We can't deal with him easily, so let's use the Truth talisman. "
Scarlet Fox nodded and said to Wu Yi, "In You Lang's opinion, we will use the Truth Questioning Talisman on you.
Wu Yi, are you willing? "
Wu Yi cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate is willing."
Crimsonfox took out a jade box and opened it. Within it was a blood red spirit talisman.
Judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power emitted from the talisman, it was a third-level low-grade Questioning Talisman.
For cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and the peak stage, their soul strength and spiritual sense cultivation were high enough. The probability of using the second-level upper-grade Questioning Heart Talisman was very high.
To be on the safe side, he needed to use a third-grade low-grade Truth Questioning Talisman.
The highest grade the Truth Questioning Talisman could reach was third level lower grade. Any higher grade would be meaningless.
A Zifu Disciple's soul had transformed into a divine soul, and he had the protection of his Zifu Disciple's Zifu Disciple. The Interrogation Talisman was completely useless.
The third-order Questioning Heart Talisman was prepared for cultivators in the late stage and peak stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Scarlet Fox handed the Questioning Heart Talisman to Quiet Wolf.
You Lang took the Truth Questioning Talisman and walked in front of Wu Yi. He placed the Truth Questioning Talisman on Wu Yi's forehead and activated it with his spiritual energy.
In order to prevent other Zifu Disciples from using their spiritual sense to activate the third-order talisman, a special arrangement was made on the talisman.
Only by injecting spiritual sense into the trigger point could the talisman be successfully activated.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator would still need to spend quite a bit of time to find the trigger point on the third-order talisman.
This wasn't like facing an enemy in battle. Using spiritual energy to activate the talisman was much simpler.
After the Truth Questioning Talisman was activated, Scarlet Fox asked Wu Yi more than ten questions.
Wu Yi's memories had been tampered with by Wang Daoyuan. Unless a Zifu Disciple or higher directly searched his soul, they wouldn't be able to find any clues.
Just by relying on the Truth Questioning Talisman, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.
Wu Yi answered all of Scarlet Fox's questions according to his tampered memories.
Scarlet Fox waved her hand and the Truth Questioning Talisman on Wu Yi's forehead fell to the ground, turning into a wisp of green smoke.
She laughed lightly and said, "What you said is indeed the truth. My Northern Mountain Branch has gained another capable cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
Wu Yi bowed and apologized, "Wu Yi is incompetent. My cultivation is above Wang Daoyuan's, but I wasn't able to obtain victory. Hall Master, please punish me."
Scarlet Fox laughed, "This isn't your fault. Even I, with my cultivation at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, wouldn't have the confidence to win against the third level Wang Daoyuan."
Wu Yi didn't have any memories of Wang Daoyuan. Hearing these words, he felt extremely astonished. Scarlet Fox was someone from the Bloodwolf Sect.
The Bloodwolf Sect was responsible for dealing with traitors and leakers. Every one of them was far stronger than those of the same level.
Yet, Scarlet Fox said that he couldn't obtain victory with his two-level cultivation advantage.
You Lang also said, "You just came from the Sky Chopping Mountain Range. You don't know much about Wang Daoyuan's past twenty years.
More than ten years ago, the Netherworld Sect and the Savage Sun Sect had a gambling match. Both sects sent out cultivators from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Zifu Disciple to duel.
The winner of the duel would determine the distribution of the spirit stone mine.
With his cultivation at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, he defeated five mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Savage Sun Sect. Three of them were even at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
Among the three, one was a direct descendant of the Wei Clan, one was a half-demon with the bloodline of the Black Flame Tiger, and the last one was a wind attribute cultivator.
Among cultivators of the same level, they were all first-rate experts.
The Wei Clan Ancestor and the Wang Clan Ancestor were close friends. Wang Daoyuan knew the weakness of the Wei Clan. Defeating the Wei Clan's direct descendant could be said to be a trick.
However, defeating the half-demon and wind attribute cultivator relied on brute strength.
He could condense the image of a golden roc. This image could be used in close combat and could be used for feather attacks.
As long as he could condense the image of the golden roc, a sixth level Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to resist.
After he obtained five consecutive victories, the Savage Sun Sect sent out their top genius, Lei Wudao. He was a lightning attribute sword cultivator and had long been known to be invincible among cultivators of the same level.
His cultivation was one level higher, but he was still heavily injured by Wang Daoyuan.
On the other hand, Wang Daoyuan only suffered light injuries and lost after exhausting his spiritual energy.
If the two of them fought at the same level, the outcome would be uncertain.
Back then, when you assassinated him, did you see this golden roc image? "
Wu Yi's mouth opened wide in shock. "I didn't expect the golden roc image to be so powerful.
When I assassinated him back then, he did use the golden roc image.
However, I had the Spirit Binding Silk Cloak and hid behind the mountain rocks.
He only used the golden roc image to search for me and didn't attack much.
If not for the Spirit Binding Silk Cloak, I'm afraid I would have died back then.
Unfortunately, when I was escaping, the cloak was also damaged. "
Scarlet Fox laughed. "It's good enough that you came back alive. That kid isn't someone you can deal with.
Most of the people in the Blood Wolf Clan are only at the standard of the Wei Clan's direct descendant. Even the top figures can hardly compare to Lei Wudao.
Wang Daoyuan's cultivation talent isn't much, but his fighting strength is comparable to Lei Wudao. "
Wu Yi nodded dispiritedly and didn't say anything else.
Scarlet Fox continued, "You're now an eighth level Foundation Establishment cultivator. In our North Mountain Branch, you can be considered one of the top experts.
I'll keep your cave residence for you. Go back and take a good look at the recent information. Only then will you be able to take on important tasks in the future. "
Wu Yi cupped his hands and left the palace, walking back to his cave residence.
After Wu Yi left, Scarlet Fox asked You Lang, "Do you think Wu Yi is reliable?"
You Lang sneered. "Do you think I'm reliable?
We're not direct descendants of the Blood Shadow like you. We only joined the Blood Shadow for the opportunity to advance.
Wu Yi was raised by you since he was in the Qi Refinement stage, while I joined halfway.
You're asking me if he's reliable. Are you doubting him or me?
As long as the Blood Shadow can provide the Yin Yang Purple Jade and the Purple Cloud Wood Core, we're reliable.
If we don't have these two things, we're unreliable. "
After speaking, You Lang walked out of the palace.
