Chapter 410 Green Means
"Everyone, the sect has assigned me a mission. I have to go there now."
Li Xiuchang stood up and felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed rude for him to see off his friends when they had just arrived and their buttocks were still warm.
So he added: "If you are interested, you can come with me."
"What is it? Can we participate?" Pang Yuanfu asked curiously.
"Interrogating those captured shadows."
"Let you go to interrogation?"
Chu Ya and others were a little puzzled. They had not yet understood Li Xiuchang's methods.
Li Xiuchang said modestly: "I was told to go over and give it a try. I'm not sure whether it will work."
"Then let's go and take a look together."
In the end, only Chu Ya, Song Yu, and Pang Yuanfu followed Li Xiuchang.
Because Wang Long had to go back to take care of business, Chi Hui was not interested, so the two left first.
As soon as Li Xiuchang and the four of them flew out of the house, they immediately became the center of attention.
To be precise, everyone around him was looking at Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang looked around and found that many disciples had gathered in Donggeng District, all wanting to see the "Seven Heroes of Donggeng District".
"Elder Li!" Disciples around him kept saluting.
The disciples raised their heads and looked at the young-looking Elder Li in the sky, with curiosity on their faces.
They wanted to see how the thirty-year-old Elder Li who was undergoing the tribulation period was different from ordinary people.
Li Xiuchang was famous in the outer sect before, but it is completely incomparable to what he is now.
This time he is famous throughout the entire sect, and as expected, once the news spreads, it will make him famous throughout the Immortal Shadow World.
The words "Elder Li" and the respectful and envious glances made Li Xiuchang compensate for the suffocation he had suffered from walking at night in Jinyi for more than ten years. He felt happy and proud, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
With a smile on his face, he nodded slightly to greet the disciples around him, and then he led Chu Ya and the three people around him to suddenly speed up and leave in a leisurely manner, leaving behind a tall silhouette.
However, a figure stopped in front of Li Xiuchang and the others, interrupting Elder Li's moment of glory.
"Elder Li, you are speeding, please pay the fine." A certain Talisman Master from the Law Enforcement Hall said loudly.
"The inner disciples around you will also have to pay fines." He added.
Li Xiuchang had no choice but to forget about this incident in his moment of pride.
Unexpectedly, a law-abiding disciple who had not speeded in thirteen years would immediately do it for the first time as soon as he became an elder.
There is nothing you can do, the rules of Xianchen Sect are like this, it doesn’t matter who you are, the elder or the supreme elder, if you speed, you have to pay a fine, it won’t work for anyone!
But now that he was an elder, he naturally had to act like an elder. He casually took out a storage bag and threw it over, saying:
"Charge it to my account."
The first-level talisman master of the Law Enforcement Hall took the storage bag familiarly. Many elders of the sect were like this. They deposited a fine in advance and deducted it slowly later.
But when his consciousness glanced at the spiritual stones in the storage bag, his eyes almost popped out!
As a first-level talisman master, he has never seen so many spiritual stones at one time!
Hiss... He gasped and looked at Li Xiuchang again for confirmation. He suspected that Li Xiuchang had picked up the wrong storage bag.
Are you sure this isn't throwing out the storage bag containing your savings?
Li Xiuchang smiled indifferently and gave the first-level talisman master a small spiritual shock. These people knew nothing about Elder Li's wealth.
This first-level Talisman Master, who has worked diligently in the Law Enforcement Hall for many years, could not help but have the idea of absconding with money for the first time...
He swallowed, shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then looked at Chu Ya and others: "How do you pay the fines for these senior brothers?"
Li Xiuchang waved his hand and said, "Charge it all to my account. I'll pay for it this time."
After paying the fine, Li Xiuchang led several people speeding all the way and arrived at the inner gate in the blink of an eye.
A temporary prison was specially built here. Not only was it equipped with a top-level trap, it was also guarded by many Supreme Elders, making it impregnable.
As soon as Li Xiuchang came over, he saw Sect Master Liang waiting for him outside the prison door.
"Xiuchang, I heard from Senior Zhang and others that you are quite capable in interrogation, so I'll leave this to you."
Liang Daocheng showed trust on his face, but in fact he was doubtful in his heart.
Li Xiuchang is a thirty-year-old young man. What experience does he have in interrogation?
Is he really good?
However, they couldn't pry the shadow's mouth open themselves, so they could only treat it like a dead horse and let Li Xiuchang try.
Interrogating Shadow is indeed hellish. Shadow is tough-talking, partly because they are united, but more importantly because they are not afraid of death.
Moreover, the shadows they caught were generally of high cultivation, which made many methods such as soul searching and illusions less effective.
Li Xiuchang nodded: "I'll do my best, but what is the focus of this interrogation?"
Most of the information about the shadow world was basically revealed by Li Xiuchang when he interrogated Shadow last time.
Liang Daocheng said: "Senior Zhang said that you have interrogated two immortal shadows before. They are not high-level among the shadows, but the overall strength of the shadows we captured this time is much stronger. Try to ask for some high-end information, such as Shadow's top-level combat strength, as well as the situation of some top powerhouses...
"The more we understand about the shadow world, the more targeted our actions will be. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we take the lead."
Liang Daocheng then said to Chu Ya and others: "You guys should follow Elder Li and learn more."
It was the first time for Chu Ya and his companions to come into contact with interrogation, and they all felt it was new. They responded in unison and followed Li Xiuchang into the prison.
Each cell in the prison was completely separated and had its own formation.
Each cell only held a shadow.
In the corridor outside the cell, three great elders were meditating with their eyes closed.
As soon as Li Xiuchang and his companions came in, one of the great elders opened his eyes and said, "Here is a list. Who do you think should be interrogated first?"
Li Xiuchang did not even look at the list, but casually pointed to the cell closest to the door and said, "Let's take this one."
He did not know who was in this cell, but it did not matter. It would be the same to interrogate anyone.
The great elder waved his hand and opened the formation of the first cell.
Only then could Li Xiuchang see the situation in the cell through the door. When he saw the appearance of the person in the cell clearly, he could not help but be slightly stunned.
There was an old man with white eyebrows, white beard and white hair in the cell. He was Duanmu Huai, whom Li Xiuchang had seen several times!
Back then, in Niujiaoling, the demon imprisoned in the Sealed Demon Land was released steadily. At that time, Duanmu Huai rushed to deal with it in Xianchen Sect, but when he arrived, Chen Changsheng had already resealed the demon.
There was another thing about Duanmu Huai that people in Xianchen Sect always talked about, that is, he lost the key to the preaching list.
But now it seems that the key to the preaching list is probably not as simple as losing it.
"I didn't expect that he was also a shadow."
Li Xiuchang sighed. Duanmu Huai was considered to be a more active one among the supreme elders. On weekdays, he and Chu Tianfan would help out in some occasions where the supreme elders needed to come forward.
Probably because the two of them were the weakest among the supreme elders.
Chu Ya was also very emotional. He had more contact with Duanmu Huai, and he didn't expect that one day the two would meet in this way.
He asked Li Xiuchang: "How are you going to interrogate him?"
Li Xiuchang thought for a moment and said: "Let's use some green methods today."
"Green methods? It sounds very gentle." Several people around him were curious.
But Li Xiuchang did not explain much.
At this time, Duanmu Huai was in a miserable state, no longer as ethereal as before. He was in tattered clothes, unkempt, and covered with scars. Medicine was applied to his body to forcibly prevent the wounds from healing.
It was obvious that the person who interrogated him before was also very strong.
Li Xiuchang walked into the cell alone. Chu Ya and the other three people and the Supreme Elder were all watching outside the cell door.
Duanmu Huai was lying on the ground like a dead body. When Li Xiuchang came in, he just looked up and then lay down again, saying in a cold voice:
"Is there no one in the Xianchen Sect? Why did they find a kid here?"
Li Xiuchang turned around and said to the Supreme Elder: "Please open the formations of other cells to ensure that the sound can be transmitted in."
The Supreme Elder was slightly stunned, and then said: "Isn't it bad? What if they take the opportunity to collude..."
Li Xiuchang said confidently: "It doesn't matter if they collude. They should have colluded in all these years."
"Okay, I will only let the sound from the outside in, but not let their voices out."
Although the Supreme Elder didn't know what Li Xiuchang was going to do, he still agreed.
After confirming that the other cells could hear the sound here, Li Xiuchang started to act.
He didn't ask anything, didn't say a word, and went up to take action.
He was ruthless from the beginning, and the faces of the people outside the cell, including the Supreme Elder, changed slightly.
An expert knows whether there is any right or wrong as soon as he makes a move.
Li Xiuchang's slight move showed that he was definitely an expert among experts.
A moment later, Duanmu Huai's screams echoed in the cell and continued to spread to other cells.
The other shadows could not imagine what kind of torture Duanmu Huai had suffered just by hearing this shrill scream. They were overwhelmed with gloom and felt invisible pressure.
Before he had tortured her for a few minutes, Duanmu Huai couldn't hold on any longer: "How can there be such a vicious person like you in the world! I have worked diligently in your Xianchen Sect for many years. Not only have I never harmed your Xianchen Sect, I have also done a lot for your Xianchen Sect. Why do you treat me like this!"
Li Xiuchang was unmoved and said calmly: "If you cooperated a little, you would answer whatever I asked you. Why would you suffer this punishment?"
"What do you want to ask!"
Li Xiuchang sneered: "Do you still need me to ask? Don't you know what to say? It seems that you still need me to remind you."
"Don't... I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
Duanmu Huai shuddered all over and took the initiative to speak...
"The key to the preaching list was not actually lost by me, but in the original body. After he exchanged places with me, he took the key to the shadow world."
This opening solved a long-standing mystery in the Xianchen Sect.
At the beginning, it was said that the key to the preaching list was lost in Xianyin. Now it seems that it was that time when he entered Xianyin that the real Duanmu Huai was replaced by the shadow.
"What else?" Li Xiuchang asked.
Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and spit out another piece of information...
The Supreme Elder behind him hurriedly wrote down every word Duanmu Huai said. He had to admit that Li Xiuchang was indeed good at it. He succeeded in getting a shadow to confess as soon as he arrived.
But Li Xiuchang was still not satisfied and continued to ask: "What else?"
Duanmu Huai did not dare to stop, and could only spit out another piece of information like squeezing toothpaste.
He felt that as long as he could not confess useful information, those perverted methods would fall on him again in the next second.
In this way, Duanmu Huai handed over dozens of pieces of information intermittently. By the end, he could no longer say anything useful. He could only make up the list with some things that were not very important or that Li Xiuchang and the others had known for a long time.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything more out of him, Li Xiuchang finally let him go and walked to the next cell.
Opening the door of the second cell, Li Xiuchang asked directly: "Do you have anything else to add?"
"If you have any means, just use it to your grandpa. I'm not that coward Duanmuhuai. Whenever I say a word, I'll call you grandpa!"
This second cell contained a tough guy, and he cursed Li Xiuchang as soon as he entered.
Duanmu Huai's screams and confession just now greatly affected morale, and he vowed to set an example for others.
However... just a few minutes later, screams resounded throughout the cell: "Ah! Grandpa! Grandpa! Please spare me, Grandpa, I will say anything!"
…
Liang Daocheng stayed outside the prison and did not go in. He did not know what happened inside. He only saw Pang Yuanfu rushing out after a moment, covering his mouth.
Huh... He retched a few times and held on to the wall before standing still.
"Xiao Pang, what's wrong with you?" Liang Daocheng asked with concern.
Pang Yuanfu waved his hand: "It's okay."
It's embarrassing to say it, so it's okay not to mention it.
Liang Daocheng frowned and asked, "What happened inside?"
"It's nothing. The interrogation went very smoothly and many shadows were recruited." Pang Yuanfu forced a smile.
"Oh?" Liang Daocheng looked surprised. He originally wanted to go in and take a look, but stopped for fear of disturbing Li Xiuchang's interrogation work.
Not long after, Song Yu also walked out with a pale face.
His face was pale and his eyes were blank. He glanced at the green grass next to him and felt his stomach churn.
Liang Daocheng was curious: "What method did Xiu Chang use?"
"Green means." Song Yu replied, obviously unwilling to recall or say more.
After a while, the three supreme elders who were sitting inside rushed out with Chu Ya...
The four of them looked equally ugly and couldn't vomit.
"Why did you all come out?" Liang Daocheng was dissatisfied. No matter what, he couldn't leave Li Xiuchang alone in there!
"The interrogation is over." A Supreme Elder handed a jade slip to Liang Daocheng.
Liang Daocheng glanced at his consciousness and said in surprise: "Did they all do it?"
"Well, some of them really have nothing to say. They even brought up the love stories of several powerful people in their shadow ranks."
Liang Daocheng couldn't restrain his curiosity, opened the prison door and walked in.
Taking a step forward, his eyes were filled with green, as if he had entered a large forest.
The whole cell is full of plants!
And these plants all grow from the shadows. (End of chapter)
