Jianchen nodded. He got Yun Wufeng to wait outside the demonic formation before entering the Demonic Prison with the grand elder.
Demonic clouds churned within the Demonic Prison. The demonic aura was so powerful that it could not be compared to the demonic formations outside. The space inside was a world of its own. Although it seemed like a tiny prison from the outside, the space inside was an extremely vast miniature world.
The miniature world was divided into many independent spaces. Every single space was a completely sealed up prison. Not only was it extraordinarily tough, but there was no energy at all. Moreover, the prison possessed a powerful suppressive force.
The suppressive force came from a high quality god artifact. Let alone Chaotic Primes, even Grand Primes would be suppressed like mortals if they were locked up in there. They would struggle to move.
At this moment, the Chaotic Prime great elders of the He Feng clan were separated and locked up in various prisons.
With a flash, Jianchen silently appeared before one of the prisons under the grand elder's accompaniment.
The person locked up in the prison was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime great elder.
"If you need to know anything, just ask. There really aren't a lot of people who can keep their secrets in the Demonic Prison," said the grand elder.
At this moment, the person locked up in the prison opened his eyes. Even though he already knew that he would suffer a horrible fate, he remained extremely composed as if he no longer cared about death.
"Do whatever you want. As for what you want to know from Old Man, I'd advise you to give up. Even if the Old Man dies here, even if he has to go through all the pain in the world, he won't say anything to you demons," said the Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime coldly.
Jianchen completely ignored him. He glared at the person in the prison and said, "Two days ago, an Infinite Prime was captured in the Ice Goddess Hall. Was that you?"
The Chaotic Prime in the prison sat with his eyes closed like a meditating monk. He did not care about the matters of the outside world.
"Great Elder, didn't you say that in the Heavenly Devil Prison, not many people can keep their secrets?" Jianchen looked at the Great Elder beside him.
The grand elder chuckled. Without saying anything, he immediately formed a seal with his hand. Immediately, the demonic aura in the prison surged. A few strands of black demonic aura that were clearly different from the others emerged. They were like vicious demons, constantly twisting and wriggling into the Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime's head.
In the next moment, the Chaotic Prime's expression changed. But very soon, he seemed to suffer unbearable pain. All the muscles on his face twisted as he groaned deeply.
This process lasted for over ten breaths of time. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were no longer as clear as before. His eyes had become scarlet red, and there was a pain and madness that was difficult to describe with words.
A portion of his chaotic emotions were mixed in as well.
"The Heavenly Devil Prison left behind by master isn't just for imprisoning people. It also has the ability to interfere with the minds of those imprisoned to a certain extent, allowing them to control the souls of those imprisoned." The grand elder smiled faintly, "With the quality of the Demonic Prison as a high quality god artifact, Grand Primes might be able to fend it off for a while. As for Chaotic Primes, there has never been a case of failure."
"Jianchen, keep asking."
Afterwards, Jianchen repeated his question. This time, it went extremely smoothly. The Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime locked up in the Heavenly Devil Prison answered Jianchen's question without any hesitation at all.
"The Old Man has already been in seclusion for several decades. He only emerged when the Heavenly Demon Religion invaded. The Old Man knows nothing about everything that has happened in the past few decades …"
"It's not him!" Jianchen frowned slightly. He felt some pity, but he did not become dejected because the Hefeng clan had a total of three Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
Afterwards, Jianchen and Cheng Ming immediately went to the next location and saw the second Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime of the Hefeng clan. Afterwards, the grand elder used the same trick again, using the Heavenly Devil Prison to control the soul and interrogate him.
"I entered a trial of life and death a hundred years ago, working hard to break through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer. I only emerged when the clan faced a crisis of life and death …"
"It's not him either." Jianchen frowned even more. He had already interrogated two of the three Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes of the Hefeng clan. None of them were the hooded expert who had kidnapped Shui Yunlan.
"There's still the last Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime." Jianchen felt rather uneasy as he arrived at the final location with the grand elder.
"The Old Man has always been in seclusion, so he has never seen the person you speak of …" This was the answer from the third Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
Now, the three great elders of the Hefeng clan who met the requirements had all been interrogated, but the results made Jianchen pale. His heart felt empty as if he had lost his soul.
Were the clues to track down Shui Yunlan severed just like that? Shui Yunlan's fate did not matter, but her safety was directly related to Changyang Mingyue's survival.
In particular, after witnessing the Heavenly Devil Prison's ability to control souls, Jianchen became even more worried.
Perhaps the Heavenly Devil Prison was the only one, but there was definitely more than one secret technique or strange evil technique that could control souls.
"Jianchen, perhaps the person you're looking for doesn't belong to the Hefeng clan at all. Although I don't know the exact details, I believe that with the current strength of the Hefeng clan, they definitely wouldn't dare to go to the Ice Goddess Hall to capture someone because the death of their Grand Prime has already made them too busy to fend for themselves, "said the grand elder, Cheng Ming.
Jianchen's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that. Suddenly, he realised that he had truly let his concerns get the better of him, causing him to misunderstand. Although the hooded expert had entered the Hefeng clan before, did that really mean he was a member of the Hefeng clan?
Moreover, he suddenly thought of what the Lan Ancestor had said before. There was a Grand Prime behind the hooded expert, helping him conceal the heavenly secrets and erase all traces, such that the Lan Ancestor was unable to find anything.
However, the Hefeng clan no longer had a Grand Prime.
"Let's go interrogate the others. If the mysterious hooded person you speak of really did enter the Hefeng clan, he definitely came into contact with the upper echelon of the clan. This is because the protective formations of the Hefeng clan aren't something that Chaotic Primes can infiltrate. He obviously obtained permission to enter the Hefeng clan," said the grand elder.
As a result, Jianchen and the grand elder immediately began interrogating all the Chaotic Prime great elders locked up here. They started from the strongest to the weakest.
The heavens did not disappoint the diligent. In the end, Jianchen finally learnt the identity of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime great elder after interrogating him.
"The expert you speak of is a great elder of the Snow sect. He's known as the Evil Elder. The Evil Elder did come to our Hefeng clan two days ago, but he only exchanged a few heavenly materials with us before leaving very soon …"
After learning the identity of the hooded expert, Jianchen was both excited and surprised. He was excited because he had finally found Shui Yunlan's whereabouts.
However, what chilled him was that the hooded expert was actually from the Snow sect.
