The destinations of the five passageways were very different.
If they could not accurately determine which passageway the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master had left from, they would be delayed for a moment.
With the craftiness of demonic cultivators, the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master could change his identity in this short period of time and blend into the huge Origin Mountain City.
If they wanted to find him again, it would not be as easy as it was now.
However, Jiang Rong did not show the slightest bit of nervousness in this situation.
Instead, he stood where he was, waiting for something.
Not long after, the jade pendant at Jiang Rong's waist flashed with a blue wave again.
Jiang Rong read the blue wave's information.
"The target has been captured."
The corners of Jiang Rong's mouth rose slightly.
Demonic cultivators were crafty. It was impossible for them not to leave a few escape routes at their foothold.
He had long known of the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master's location. Why did he not make a move immediately, and instead went to a nearby restaurant to have a drink?
It was to leave time for him to investigate all the possible escape routes the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master might have.
The exit of the escape route was not easy to determine, but it clearly could not be too far away from this small residence. Otherwise, it would be easy to discover.
Moreover, for something as important as an escape route, the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master would definitely go to the exit to investigate.
Combining these two points, Jiang Rong had his subordinates collect the locations where the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master had appeared in the vicinity of the small residence.
He had also set up an inescapable net at the corresponding locations to ensure that the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master could not escape.
Jiang Rong had been the Deputy Lord of the Origin Mountain House for close to a hundred years, and had fought against the demonic cultivators of the Hades for close to a hundred years.
His methods had long been incomparably shrewd.
Demonic cultivators were crafty, but he was even more crafty than them.
.....
This was a small dilapidated courtyard less than two li away from the small residence.
In the courtyard that was originally overgrown with weeds due to being abandoned, there were now many cultivators in black robes gathered.
"The Deputy Lord has arrived."
Someone in the crowd said.
The crowd that had gathered in a row quickly parted to form a path, revealing the Blood Corpse Enlightened Master who was tightly bound by a golden rope.
It was a supreme grade mortal weapon, the Spirit Binding Rope.
The Spirit Binding Rope was one of the standard weapons that the Zhishou Building provided to all its members.
It could be extended at will after the cultivator injected spiritual energy. Its function was to trap the enemy and prevent them from circulating their spiritual energy.
The Spirit-Binding Rope is an essential magic tool used to capture Xiumo cultivators.
Because Devil Cultivators wouldn't allow themselves to be captured alive so easily, they would often choose the most extreme method when they really couldn't escape, which was to stimulate the spiritual energy in their bodies and kill themselves.
Low-level demonic cultivators were still fine. If they committed suicide, the worst that could happen was that Zhishou Tower wouldn't be able to interrogate them and obtain information.
However, if a nascent soul realm demonic cultivator chose to detonate his nascent soul, he would definitely die, but the damage caused by the explosion would cause many members of the Zhishou Tower to be sacrificed, resulting in heavy losses for the Zhishou Tower.
In order to deal with this situation, the [Spirit Binding Rope] was researched and created.
Jiang Rong passed through the crowd and looked at Daoist Bloodcorpse who was lying on the ground, powerless to struggle. Her eyes were cold and even revealed a murderous intent.
But Jiang Rong is very calm. The greatest value of a captured Xiumo is not his life, but the information he knows.
Therefore, he could not kill him now.
Jiang Rong waved her hand. "Take him back to the building and interrogate him properly."
"Yes, Deputy House Head," the black-robed cultivators replied.
Then, the black-robed cultivators escorted Daoist Bloodcorpse who was trapped by the [Spirit Binding Rope] and quickly left.
In less than a moment, the small courtyard was empty.
Their actions were swift and precise. This is Zhishou Tower, an organization completely different from many other sects.
.....
In Origin Mountain House.
Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan were speechless.
Jiang Rong opened the door and walked in.
Dantai Qingrun looked at Jiang Rong, who nodded.
Dantai Qingrun said in a cold tone, "State your purpose for coming."
Zhishou Tower is indeed worthy of its name. After receiving my information, they found out where Daoist Bloodcorpse is staying and captured him in less than four hours.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Zhishou Tower's efficiency.
After composing himself, Lu Qingshan said slowly, "Cooperation."
"Cooperation? You mean you want Zhishou Tower to cooperate with a Level Two Qi Refinement cultivator like you? "
Lu Qingshan shook his finger and said softly, "House Head Dantai, that's not how it's calculated.
My cultivation is indeed not high, but I'm not offering myself, I'm offering information. "
After a pause, Lu Qingshan spoke again. "I have a lot of confidential information. With my help, you can accurately attack the hidden Hades forces.
Even if you don't have a deep sense of responsibility for attacking the Hades, the merit of eliminating the Hades forces can at least help you to quickly advance in Zhishou Tower. "
Dantai Qingrun and Jiang Rong looked at each other.
"We need to think about it," Jiang Rong said to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan nodded. "Of course."
Lu Qingshan turned and left the room, leaving some space for the two of them.
Seeing Lu Qingshan leave the room, Jiang Rong waved her sleeve and a gray fog flew out. It quickly spread and filled the entire room.
This was a silent restriction to prevent eavesdropping.
"What about that Daoist Blood Corpse? Is the situation true?" Dantai Qingrun frowned and asked.
Jiang Rong nodded. "We're arranging for people to interrogate him. Although he hasn't confessed anything yet, there's no doubt about his identity as a demonic cultivator."
"This Daoist Blood Corpse has been hiding in Origin Mountain City for more than ten years. On the surface, his identity is an itinerant cultivator. After many years of operation, there are no flaws. If not for this Lu Qingshan, our intelligence system would not have been able to discover his true identity."
"This Lu Qingshan is not simple."
Dantai Qingrun tapped her finger on the table and asked again, "Have you investigated Lu Qingshan's identity?"
"Yes. According to him, he is indeed a disciple of the Lu Family. But the strange thing is that three months ago, he was just an ordinary mortal in charge of the Lu Family's business in the mortal world. While he was transporting goods, his convoy was attacked and he disappeared without a trace."
"When he reappeared, he was already in Origin Mountain City and had suddenly turned from an ordinary mortal to a Qi Refinement Level Two cultivator," Jiang Rong said in a low voice.
"Three months … Qi Refinement Level Two. Interesting …" Dantai Qingrun was deep in thought.
Jiang Rong thought for a while and said, "The point is, this Lu Qingshan has no reason to know so much. Even our intelligence system found it difficult to investigate the Hades's information. How did he get it?"
"But he seems to be very sincere. He gave us a piece of information before asking for cooperation."
Jiang Rong nodded. "That's true."
"I think we can try cooperating with him first." Dantai Qingrun gave her opinion.
Jiang Rong was silent for a moment and asked, "What if this Lu Qingshan is actually a member of the Hades and pretends to cooperate with us and gives us false information to mislead us?"
"The chances of that are very small. The Hades would not send a Qi Refinement Level Two cultivator to do such a thing, nor would they do it so suspiciously. They have many more reasonable ways to pass false information to us."
Jiang Rong's tone was cold. "A small chance means that it is possible.
We can choose to control Lu Qingshan and force him to tell us what he knows.
If he refuses to cooperate, we can even use a soul-searching technique to pry information out of him. "
Dantai Qingrun looked at Jiang Rong and explained, "But if we do that, he will definitely resist fiercely. It is also possible that some unknown accidents will occur because of our forceful methods.
Even if we can obtain information through a soul-searching technique, you should know that the information obtained through a soul-searching technique will only be scattered fragments and cannot be controlled at all. It is even possible that the information obtained will be useless and all the crucial information will be left out.
At least on the surface, Lu Qingshan seems to be very sincere in cooperating with us. If we push aside the help that should be ours just because he is uncontrollable, it will not be a wise choice. "
