The cold edge of Li Ya's sword, if it was placed on anyone's neck, it would make one's hair stand on end.
Cold sweat drenched Qiu Fengjia's back.
How did this person get here?
At this moment, his underlings fanned out in front of him. Even if it was Yu Qiuyu, he was confident that he could hold him off for a while and escape. How did this pervert get here?
"Can we talk now?" Yan Li said slowly.
"You, what do you want to talk about?" Qiu Fengjia clenched his teeth, "I'm warning you, if you dare to kill me, the Yellow Mountain Sect will not let you off once we leave this place!"
While his underlings were distracted, Yu Qiuyu had already unsheathed his sword.
The sword lights were scattered like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard after a meal. In the bleak autumn light, they were like pieces of withered fallen leaves accompanied by the splattering of blood, causing this beautiful scene to add a bit of enchanting beauty.
Huang Shaoyu was stunned, only to see the people he killed turn into light and disappear.
Then he was overjoyed, striding over and slapping Qiu Fengjia's face, "Son of a b * tch! Yellow Mountain Sect is so great, daring to hold me hostage. Let me tell you, this has always been the job of us, daring to steal our job, believe it or not, I will bring people to destroy you! Son of a b * tch! "
Then he slapped the other side of the face.
Qiu Fengjia was directly hit silly, in his impression, the power of the Green Forest Sect was only slightly better than the Yellow Mountain Sect, he roared angrily, "If you have the ability then come at me!"
"All of you shut the f * ck up!" Yan Li shouted coldly, "Now I will ask and you will answer, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will immediately cripple you!"
"Hmph!" Qiu Fengjia did not buy it, "Anyway, I am going to die, what do I care, just kill me, I will not tell you a word!"
"Then I will fulfill your wish," Yan Li said lightly.
"Yan Li!" Huang Shaoyu panicked. "If you kill them, where are we going to find the slate? Also, he's obviously hiding a lot of secrets. If we can interrogate him, it'll definitely be of great help to our mission."
"Idiot." Yan Li couldn't help but scold.
"What do you mean? I've tolerated you for a long time!" Huang Shaoyu was furious. "Even if you don't want to do the mission, you still have to explain it to me!"
"You're reminding him of his own value," Yu Qiuyu said.
Huang Shaoyu was taken aback. His face darkened and he didn't say anything.
Qiu Fengjia couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, you reminded me. Not only do I have the slate, I also have secrets that you don't know about. You three stupid dogs have killed so many of my subordinates. As long as you kneel and crawl on the ground, I'll forgive you. If I'm in a good mood, I can even reward you with a few secrets. "
"I really don't know where your confidence comes from." Yan Li suddenly raised his left hand and fiercely hit Qiu Fengjia's back, dispersing the true Qi that he had been gathering.
Qiu Fengjia only felt a sharp pain in his back. His vision instantly darkened. Following that, he felt that his face was heavily pressed to the ground. His face instantly burned with pain.
"Bastard!" He clenched his teeth and cursed.
Yan Li withdrew his Separation Cliff and used his knee to support himself. Without saying a word, he directly grabbed one of Qiu Fengjia's hands and forcefully broke his index finger.
"Ah — —" A shrill scream shook the entire Eastern Marquis Mansion. Everyone who heard it was terrified.
Imagine the feeling of having one's index finger forcefully broken. You could even see your own white finger bone.
Huang Shaoyu's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously hid his hand behind his back.
Yan Li expressionlessly threw away the broken finger. "This is only the first finger. You still have nine fingers, two wrists, elbows, arms, and ten toes. I will break them bit by bit. If you faint from the pain, I will use a special method to wake you up. Before you die, I will let you taste the pain one by one. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your pride?"
"You … go … die …" Qiu Fengjia reluctantly turned his head and stared venomously at Yan Li.
Yan Li immediately grabbed his hand. Apart from the thumb, he grabbed the other three fingers and suddenly twisted them.
There was a series of "kacha" sounds. Qiu Fengjia's screams sounded as if they were dug out from the depths of his throat. The degree of pain was comparable to a vengeful spirit. His reaction was abnormally intense. He was like a pig that had its throat cut and its blood drained. He desperately tried to break free.
Wasn't pain the greatest enemy of a human's willpower?
Huang Shaoyu quietly took two steps back. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He wiped the fine cold sweat off his forehead.
When this wave of struggle ended, Qiu Fengjia's breathing was already very weak. His eyes were unfocused. He looked like a patient who had lost his mind and had just vented his anger.
Yan Li did not say a word. He directly grabbed the last thumb of his right hand.
"I'll talk … I'll talk … I'll tell you everything. Don't torture me, please don't torture me …" Qiu Fengjia instinctively trembled. Tears and mucus flowed down his face as he begged bitterly.
"He's willing to talk. He's willing to talk." Huang Shaoyu said anxiously. It was as if he was more afraid of hearing the screams than Qiu Fengjia.
Yan Li slowly raised his head. His gaze was cold. "You can represent him?"
"I, I can't …" Huang Shaoyu was so shocked that he took two more steps back. His face was pale and he secretly complained in his heart.
At this moment, Yu Qiuyu's sword slowly returned to its scabbard. It was as if he was deliberately giving a warning.
Yan Li glanced at him and let go of Qiu Fengjia. He said, "I'll only ask the next question once. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you should know the consequences."
"I … know …" All of Qiu Fengjia's will to resist had been obliterated.
"Did you arrive here half a month ago?" Yan Li asked.
"Yes …" Qiu Fengjia said.
"Where did you get the information about the slate?" Yan Li asked.
"When I got my identification, I was told to hand the slate to a person called Sudan," Qiu Fengjia said.
"You got the slate half a month ago. Why didn't you hand it over?" Yan Li asked.
"Because there was a hint that someone would come to snatch the slate. I had to block one of your attacks before I was qualified to hand over the mission," Qiu Fengjia said.
"You said that if the 'king' died, the mission would be declared a failure. What's going on?" Yan Li asked.
"That's what my uncle told me … if the king died, the mission would be declared a failure. I don't know if it's true or not," Qiu Fengjia said.
"Where is the slate?" Yan Li asked.
"Here, here …" Qiu Fengjia took out his Qiankun bag.
Yan Li probed it with his consciousness and found the slate. He took it out but touched it with his hand. Nothing happened.
He put the slate away first and stared at Qiu Fengjia. "One last question. How do you want to die?"
"That's too much." Yu Qiuyu frowned. He drew his sword and sent Qiu Fengjia to his death.
"If I don't use some tricks to suppress him, I'm afraid he'll ruin things," Yan Li said.
"That's enough," Yu Qiuyu said. "If it's not enough, I'll keep you company."
Yan Li sneered and left without saying anything.
"Qiu, Qiu Yu, what are you guys talking about?" Huang Shaoyu asked.
"We're talking about you." Yu Qiuyu also left.
"Me?" Huang Shaoyu was confused.
… …
The next day.
Yan Li took out the slate and placed it in the courtyard.
The three of them surrounded the slate and studied it. After yesterday's incident, Huang Shaoyu did not dare to be cheeky anymore. He said seriously, "I don't understand any of these words."
Yan Li touched the slate lightly. It felt the same as the previous one, but he did not know the conditions to trigger it. Clearly, it was not something that could be solved with just a touch.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he took out the token from before and placed it in contact with it. As expected, the slate immediately shone with white light. Just like before, the words intertwined to form a part of the token and fused with the original piece.
At the moment of fusion, Yan Li's consciousness was suddenly pulled up. He felt like he was being pulled to an infinite height, looking down at the entire Jambu Realm from the perspective of a creator.
And then he saw the Eastern Zhou Realm disappear piece by piece.
To be more precise, in the midst of a series of huge movements, the land collapsed piece by piece. In just a few blinks of an eye, the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty disappeared from the land, leaving only a deathly silent sinkhole, like an abyss.
"Young cultivator, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Have you found the truth? "
His consciousness suddenly came back, and he panted as he opened his eyes. "Eastern Zhou is about to be destroyed."
"What?" Huang Shaoyu was shocked.
"Eastern Zhou will become a second sinkhole!" Yan Li felt a sense of horror spread from the bottom of his heart to his entire body, and he trembled uncontrollably.
"What's going on? Have you become a prophet?" Huang Shaoyu asked, stunned.
Yan Li shook his head and said, "I saw that scene, and I have a strong premonition that Eastern Zhou will be like what I saw before long."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to the token. This token was clearly two-thirds complete. On the dragon, the true face appeared bit by bit. It was the crumbling walls that had fallen.
Thinking back to what he had just seen, he gradually had a question in his heart: What was the person who designed this mission, or rather, what was Yu Shenji trying to express?
He had a strong feeling that the truth was what Yu Shenji wanted to express.
"Brother Yan, Brother Yan."
At this moment, Lianhai Changjin called out in his mind.
"Did you find anything?" Yan Li asked.
"Yes, I found some clues regarding the whereabouts of the third stone slab and the Sultan."
"Oh? Tell me quickly. "
"Let's talk about the Sultan first. This person is an alchemist with good health, and he is favored by the kings of various states. He has traveled all over Eastern Zhou, and he has stayed in all the palaces of the vassal states. He does not seek fame or wealth, and he has stayed in each state for more than five years. The strange thing is that the land of each state he has stayed in has turned from fertile to barren and desolate …"
"What did you say?" Yan Li was shocked.
