It had to be said that people who achieved great things were all extremely patient. Even though he knew that the secret that Elder Li discovered had already threatened the safety of the Zhao Family, Hall Chief Zhu still did not make any movements under Elder Li's strict supervision. This was extremely admirable.
There was no movement for 15 years, and no one could see any flaws. If Elder Li hadn't noticed Hall Chief Zhu's abnormality when he first voiced out his guess, Elder Li wouldn't have dared to confirm that Hall Chief Zhu was the person he was looking for.
Elder Li admired Hall Chief Zhu's forbearance, but on the surface, he didn't think much of it. He wanted to see how long this fella could endure for. Could it be even longer than the hundreds of years that he had easily set up?
What Elder Li didn't expect was that while Hall Chief Zhu did not make any movements, another person that Elder Li didn't expect jumped out.
Xue Fei, a newly promoted core elder who had replaced another core elder who had been killed by a demon beast. His new responsibility was to manage the Sect's storehouse, which was an extremely important role. At the same time, Elder Xue was also an expert in smithing. His standard was extremely high, and it could be said that he was one of the top three smithing masters in the Sect. There were only two people who were better than Elder Xue in smithing, and they were both Grand Supreme Mystic Immortal Elders.
Almost 15 years after Elder Li voiced out his conjecture, Elder Xue Fei gifted Hall Master Liu of the Law Enforcement Hall a peerless magic treasure.
According to Elder Xue Fei, he had only started to conceive of this magic treasure 200 years ago. From then on, the Sect's storehouse was filled with the corpses of many Xuan Immortal level demon beasts. To cultivators, the corpses of these demon beasts were simply the best materials, be it for medicinal herbs or smithing.
Hall Chief Liu had his own Natal Flying Sword that had been used for thousands of years, and it couldn't be replaced. Elder Xue also understood this point, so this magic treasure wasn't specially made for Hall Chief Liu. Strictly speaking, it was made for the Hall Chief of the Hall of Enforcement, and was only given to him to take care of.
The magic treasure was a chair that was made from the body parts of hundreds of super powerful demon beasts. It was only successfully made after hundreds of years of meticulous refining by Elder Xue Fei.
On the surface, this chair looked very graceful and luxurious. At first glance, it was definitely comfortable to sit on. The reason why he recommended it to Hall Chief Liu was that the chair had two functions.
The first layer was specially designed for the Law Enforcement Hall. As long as a cultivator who was punished by the Law Enforcement Hall sat on it, the Law Enforcement Disciple would activate the Spirit Refinement Array that came with the chair.
The Spirit Array would consume the cultivator's whole body's spiritual power, and at the same time, it would consume more than 90% of the cultivator's Spiritual Sense. The chair was refined using the body parts of numerous Mysterious Immortal Realm demon beasts that were extremely adept at mental attacks, so it would naturally affect the prisoner's mind and cause the prisoner to fall into a state of hypnosis where his mind was unclear. It could be said that sitting on this chair was equivalent to having one's mind controlled, and one would have to answer all questions without any resistance.
What's more, the chair could not only control the prisoner's mind, but it could also make the prisoner feel like he was being tortured. However, in reality, it would not hurt the prisoner's body at all. All the attacks were aimed at the mind. It was definitely a top-grade weapon suitable for the Law Enforcement Hall.
The second effect was targeted at the controller. If Hall Chief Liu had nothing to do, he could sit on the chair and cultivate, activating the second function. The chair naturally had an effect that was brought about by the instincts of some kind of demon beast. Within a radius of a few feet around the chair, it would form a cultivation space with spiritual pressure that was at least 50% stronger than the surrounding area. Cultivating on the chair would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.
The latter effect was purely an unexpected surprise. Even Elder Xue Fei did not think that it would have such an effect when he was refining it. In the beginning, he only chose to carve the body of the chair from the skull of some kind of demon beast for the sake of the magic treasure's sturdiness. In the end, after the refining was successful, he discovered this heaven defying effect.
Of course, these were all Elder Xue Fei's own words. This chair, which Hall Chief Liu named the Extreme Paradise Platform, had already been tested on a few prisoners, and the effect was truly miraculous. It would answer any question, and even the strongest Mysterious Immortal expert did not last more than a month. All of them were subdued by this magical chair.
As for the spiritual pressure, it was simply too simple. As long as it was activated, any cultivator could easily sense the changes in their cultivation environment. Just by sitting on it for a few days, they would be able to clearly feel the changes.
The ability of the Extreme Paradise Platform to control one's mind was simply too heaven defying. This level of magic treasure could only be controlled by a core member of the upper echelons like Hall Chief Liu. Even Elder Xue Fei, who refined the Extreme Paradise Platform, did not dare to hold it himself, lest the other elders misunderstand.
Perhaps, this Extreme Paradise Platform could only be controlled by the Sect Master or the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. No one else had the qualifications to control it. Elder Xue Fei really managed to forge an amazing magic treasure.
Elder Li was currently plotting something big. After taking out the Extreme Paradise Platform, Elder Li's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy.
How could there be such a coincidence? He had just found the whereabouts of the Zhao Clan, and in just a few years, Elder Xue Fei had already refined such a heaven defying item. Moreover, he had already started refining it 200 years ago. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
The most coincidental thing was not the mind-controlling chair, but the effect behind it. According to Elder Xue Fei, as long as he used the skull of that kind of demonic beast, he would be able to refine a small cultivation treasure that was 50% stronger than the surrounding spiritual pressure at any time and place. This was exactly the same as when Elder Li wanted the Sect Master to increase his cultivation and transcend his tribulation!
What was even more coincidental was that there were very few of those demonic beasts and they were very rare. Over the past hundreds of years, the Mysterious Heaven Sect had only managed to obtain a few of them by chance. If one skull was used to refine a chair, including the Extreme Paradise Platform in the Enforcement Hall, it would only be enough for five people.
Of course, such a good thing would be given to the core higher-ups with the Sect Master as the leader. The others didn't even need to think about getting such a good thing. Even the refiner himself, Elder Xue, was ranked at the back because he was a newly promoted core elder who had passed away. He had to wait until the veteran core higher-ups like the Sect Master, Elder Li, and Hall Chief Liu were used up before they could get their turn.
Hall Chief Zhu hadn't made any moves, but Elder Xue Fei had jumped out just like that. This really surprised Elder Li. Could it be that his and Yang Chen's judgment was wrong? Could it be that Hall Chief Zhu wasn't a spy from the Zhao Clan and the real spy was Elder Xue Fei?
However, after thinking about it, Elder Li's head was immediately covered in cold sweat. Who said that there could only be one Zhao Clan spy in the Mysterious Heaven Sect? Perhaps both of them were spies.
