A quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng, accompanied by Han Li, arrived at a side room in the dungeon.
"Bring the captives here one by one. I want to interrogate them one by one. By the way, don't reveal my identity and don't call me Master in front of them." Wang Changsheng instructed.
"Master, the interrogation is a small matter. Disciple can handle it." Han Li said in a fawning manner.
"Just do as I say. What's with all this nonsense?" Wang Changsheng said with a somewhat displeased expression.
Han Li's heart trembled and he responded in fear and trepidation before leaving.
Not long after, Liu Hao of the Blue Pill Sect walked in.
Liu Hao felt the powerful spiritual pressure from Wang Changsheng and his expression was somewhat nervous.
"Name, sect, position in the sect, do you have a Master? Think carefully before you answer. If you lie, I'm afraid you won't live to see tomorrow. "Wang Changsheng's expression became serious and he coldly said.
Liu Hao was shocked. After a moment of hesitation, he explained his situation in detail.
After listening to Liu Hao's statement, Wang Changsheng nodded and waved his hand, indicating for Liu Hao to leave.
Not long after, a female cultivator from the Blue Pill Sect walked in with a face full of fear.
"Name, sect, position in the sect, do you have a Master? Think carefully before you answer. If you lie, I'm afraid you won't live to see tomorrow. "Wang Changsheng repeated his words.
The female cultivator didn't dare to hide anything and clearly explained her situation.
In this way, the captives of the nine sects walked into the side room and truthfully answered Wang Changsheng's questions.
Wang Changsheng's questions were very simple. He wanted them to explain their situation and persuade them to join the four devil sects.
Some of the cowardly cultivators agreed to join the four devil sects on the spot. These people were not sent back to their cells and were instead handed over to Han Li.
Of course, Wang Changsheng was not here to interrogate the captives. He chose a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who could come into contact with the upper echelons of the Nine Sects and used the Witch Puppet Technique to control them. He locked them up again and prepared to send them back to the Nine Sects of the Wu Country tomorrow.
Four hours later, Wang Changsheng and Han Li left the dungeon.
After returning to his residence, Wang Changsheng activated the restrictions in the house.
He patted the storage bag at his waist and a silver jade box flew out and landed in front of him.
After taking off the talisman seal on the jade box, he opened the lid, and a silver porcelain bottle appeared in front of him.
He pulled out the cork of the bottle. "Pfft!"
A silver ball of light shot out from the bottle.
Wang Changsheng, who was already prepared for this, raised his hand without any change in expression. His five fingers spread open as he made a grabbing motion in the air. A large hand that was shimmering with black light suddenly appeared and grabbed the silver ball of light.
Wang Changsheng's wrist shook and the silver ball of light suddenly revealed its original form in the black light.
It was actually a small silver bird that was several inches in size. Silver arcs of lightning flashed on its surface. The small silver bird constantly spun around in Wang Changsheng's palm, as if it wanted to fly away.
Wang Changsheng firmly trapped the flood dragon soul in his large hand, making it unable to escape like a bird in a cage.
"If the soul of a ninth grade demon bird is refined into a Spirit Subjugation Talisman, its power will definitely be stronger than the one refined from a ninth grade flood dragon soul. Thunder-attribute magic is known as the most destructive magic, and the Lightning Escape Technique is also the most difficult escape technique to master.
A ninth grade Thunder Roc should be able to use the Lightning Escape Technique, which is faster and stranger than the Wind Escape Technique.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng was somewhat excited.
He calmed down and made a hand sign with one hand. A spell was cast on the silver porcelain bottle.
The silver porcelain bottle flew up and rotated in the air. Countless silver runes appeared on the surface of the bottle, and a silver ray of light flew out, enveloping the small silver bird and pulling it back into the bottle. The cork of the bottle flew up and blocked the opening of the bottle.
Wang Changsheng gently rubbed the ring on his hand, and a black ray of light shot out. After the ray of light faded, there was a pile of things on the ground.
He reached out and lightly tapped a piece of green beast skin. The green beast skin flew up and floated in mid-air.
Wang Changsheng opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black Nascent Fire, which wrapped around the green beast skin.
In the meeting hall of the giant white city, Hua Feiwu and the others were gathered together to discuss something.
They originally thought that it was just a test match, but who would have thought that Wang Changsheng alone could make them flee. After witnessing Wang Changsheng's strength with their own eyes, they no longer had much fighting spirit in their hearts.
"Fellow Shen, I'll leave the matter of exchanging the captives to you. You have to carefully screen the captives and don't let any spies mix in," Hua Feiwu instructed with a serious expression.
"Got it," Shen Yi nodded absent-mindedly.
"Fellow Hua, if there's nothing else, the Old Man will go back and rest. It's been a tiring day," Li Yunfei said with an indifferent expression.
"The Old Man is also a little tired. He wants to go back and rest," Zhang Xi nodded in agreement.
Hua Feiwu frowned and pondered for a while before nodding, "Alright then! Since there's nothing else, everyone can go back and rest! "
Hearing this, Zhang Xi and the other leaders of the five sects in Zhao City looked at each other and turned to leave at the same time.
"Fellow Hua, I think there's something wrong with Zhang Xi and the others. They won't betray us, right?" Shen Yi frowned and said.
"I don't think so! They were still locked in a fierce battle with the four sects of the Qi Kingdom. Both sides suffered countless casualties. This grudge won't be resolved so easily! "A yellow-robed old man frowned and slowly analyzed.
"This grudge is the grudge of the low-level cultivators. Their leaders are different. Would the disciples collectively oppose their leader's surrender? Would it work? Now that there's a war between the righteous and demonic in Dongyu, every country is locked in a fierce battle with countless casualties on both sides. I think there's no need for us to continue fighting. Let's make peace with the four sects of the demonic path! If we continue fighting, even if we win, our strength will be greatly damaged. With Mu Yunxuan and Wang Changsheng's strength, it's only a matter of time before they join forces with the demonic path cultivators of the other countries to make a comeback, "Shen Yi suggested with a straight face.
"With the current situation, it's not that easy to make peace! Even if we succeed, I'm afraid we'll have to give up more than half of the Wu Kingdom's territory, "Hua Feiwu said with a frown.
"Fellow Hua, do you think we can hold on to these territories without making peace? Right now, it's not the four sects of the demonic path that are moving, but all the demonic path sects in Dongyu. We can either make peace or move our sects to other countries. If we retreat now, we can still preserve some of our strength. If we delay, it'll be difficult to preserve our orthodoxy, "Shen Yi sneered.
After today's battle, he completely understood that they were not fighting against the four sects of the demonic path, but all the demonic path sects in Dongyu.
Right now, the demonic path sects were fighting for themselves, fighting to conquer other countries. For the time being, they had not joined forces. When the other demonic path sects took over the neighboring countries of the Wu Kingdom, it would be strange if they did not invade the Wu Kingdom. So what if they defeated the four sects of the demonic path? There would be more demonic path sects invading the Wu Kingdom. Rather than that, it would be better to move their sects to the rear and unite the righteous path sects of many countries. They could still resist the invasion of the demonic path. At least they would have more confidence.
Wang Changsheng single-handedly beat them back into the city and activated the city's defense barrier. Shen Yi's Natal Magic Treasure was also destroyed by Wang Changsheng. While he was feeling very aggrieved, his fighting spirit had completely disappeared. If it were not for the fact that Hua Feiwu was in charge of the nine sects of the Wu Kingdom, Shen Yi would have immediately left the frontlines and evacuated his sect from the Wu Kingdom.
"Fellow Shen is right. The neighboring countries of our Wu Kingdom have also been attacked by the demonic path sects of other countries. Once they take over the neighboring countries, our Wu Kingdom will definitely not be able to stay out of it. I think we should move our sects to the rear, preferably near the Thousand Buddha Temple. The Thousand Buddha Temple's Master Ku Sang is a cultivator in the late Yuanying Realm. As long as Master Ku Sang makes a move, he can more or less stop the demonic path's advance," the yellow-robed elder suggested.
Hearing this, Hua Feiwu was a little tempted. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Even if we want to make peace, will the four demonic path sects agree?"
"The attitude of the four demonic path sects is not important at all. Mu Yunxuan's not making a move means that they don't dare to kill us all. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered! They only want to occupy the Wu Kingdom. We can send someone to inform Mu Yunxuan and negotiate peace in seven days. During this time, we can send a message to the rear, organize the sect's affairs, and prepare to evacuate. We can talk about peace for a few days. At worst, we can let our subordinates fight a few more times to buy some time. Once the rear is organized, we'll immediately evacuate. We'll bring our disciples and the wealth we've accumulated over the years out of the Wu Kingdom and head to the Thousand Buddha Temple in the Southern Tang Nation. What do you think, Fellow Hua? "Shen Yi shook his head and suggested.
"Should we inform the five sects of Zhao if we evacuate the Wu Kingdom?" Hua Feiwu was a little moved and asked.
"Hmph, why should we inform them? Who knows, they might even be discussing joining the four demonic path sects! Don't forget, Junior Brother Chen and your sect's Madam Zhang were ambushed by the four demonic path sects because their whereabouts were leaked by the five sects of Zhao. Even if the five sects of Zhao don't plan to join the four demonic path sects, it's better that way. Let them resist the four demonic path sects and buy us time to evacuate the Wu Kingdom. "Shen Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he finished speaking.
He had long been unhappy with the Green Pill Sect, but he had never found the opportunity. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he would certainly not let it go.
"The Old Man agrees with Fellow Shen's suggestion. The fewer people know about our evacuation, the safer we'll be. There's no need to inform Zhao, but we should inform them about the peace talks. However, I don't think they're in the mood to discuss it now. Let's talk to them after the prisoner exchange tomorrow!" The yellow-robed old man nodded and suggested.
"I agree as well." A purple-haired old woman nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Since the three of you don't object, let's do as you say! "Hua Feiwu nodded in agreement when she saw the situation.
In fact, Hua Feiwu had planned to evacuate the Wu Kingdom from the very beginning of the war. After all, the Wu Kingdom was located too close to the front, and the neighboring kingdoms had all been invaded by the demonic path sects. It was only a matter of time before the Wu Kingdom was occupied by the demonic path sects. She originally planned to lead the nine sects to defeat the four demonic path sects before evacuating the Wu Kingdom. Not only would this increase her personal prestige, the Imperial Regency would also benefit from it.
If she could become the leader of the nine sects, no matter where she went, Hua Feiwu would not be underestimated.
However, she did not expect that aside from the stalemate in the war, the four demonic path sects would also produce a Yuanying cultivator with amazing divine powers like Wang Changsheng. He single-handedly defeated five Yuanying cultivators and forced them to flee. They had no choice but to rely on the Great City Barrier Formation to defend against Wang Changsheng.
To put it bluntly, Wang Changsheng had completely destroyed their will to resist in today's battle. After all, Wang Changsheng was only in the early Yuanying stage. His father-in-law, Mu Yunxuan, who was in the late Yuanying stage, had yet to make a move!
