After being taught a lesson, Yin Hao became obedient again and answered Liang Yi's question with a swollen face.
After a while of interrogation, Liang Yi completely understood everything that Yin Hao knew, but the brows of Liang Yi and the other two did not relax. This was because Yin Hao knew too little. Although he had uncovered a corner of this secret sect, it was still shrouded in layers of secrecy.
Liang Yi and the others also understood why there were no guards around Yin Hao at such an important moment.
The sect's guards under his command were all transferred away by the higher-ups to do something big. He had only been here for a few days and had not even fused with Zhang Feng's soul, let alone develop his own branch. This time, Zhang Feng's resistance was abnormally intense. Helpless, he could only take the risk to go down to the underground palace to suppress him. He did not expect to encounter Liang Yi and the others.
As for the rest, let alone the name of the Spirit Devouring Sect's Sect Master, this fellow did not even know if he was a man or a woman. It was the higher-ups who contacted him.
He did not know the purpose of the Spirit Devourer Sect. He did not know if there were any other people in disguise. He did not know how to determine if they were disguised by the Spirit Devourer Sect. He did not know what the higher-ups were up to.
"What the f*ck…" Yin Hao did not know anything. He only knew how to say that he did not know. Liang Yi was so angry that he took out his sword and wanted to kill him.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, calm down, calm down!" Su Youyi hugged Liang Yi tightly from behind, in case Liang Yi killed this only clue on impulse.
Liang Yi did not really want to kill him. It was just that this guy was too infuriating. No wonder he did not have any seals put on him. It turned out that he only knew unimportant information.
The three of them sat around the table. Liang Yi held his forehead and sighed. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Third Sister, what's our next target's name again?" Liang Yi pretended to ask casually.
"Eh? Oh, oh, it's a kid called Liang Yi." Su Youyi was smart and continued.
"Big brother, this name sounds familiar." He Zhiqing also got into character.
"Liang Yi? I know!!" Yin Hao was afraid that he would be killed if he was worthless. Now that he heard a familiar name, he quickly jumped at the chance to highlight his value.
"Oh? Then tell me." Liang Yi played the role of Zhang Mazi and looked at Yin Hao on the ground playfully.
"My superiors have ordered me to report Liang Yi immediately if I see him. I saw him yesterday. He received a request from a good friend of Zhang Feng to deliver something. He didn't expect that Zhang Feng had already been replaced by me. I didn't pay attention to his strength. He indeed looks like the rumored person who can't cultivate. If anybody makes a move on him, it will definitely be easy." Yin Hao smiled obsequiously.
"Why is your superior looking for him? Could it be that he wants to snatch our turf?" Liang Yi looked at him with an unfriendly gaze.
"I wouldn't dare!" Yin Hao protested loudly.
"However, I heard through the grapevine that this order was directly passed down from the sect master to the entire sect. I really don't know anything else. After all, my level is too low," Yin Hao said.
Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
Su Youyi knew that her senior brother had never left the mountain like her before he lost his memory. He would occasionally go out to buy items, but with her senior brother's personality, how could he have provoked such an evil sect and be hunted down by the entire sect?
Liang Yi shook his head. It was useless to think too much. The other party was hidden too deeply. He could only take one step at a time. As long as the other party dared to attack, they would leave behind clues. He might be able to find something.
"Let Zhang Feng out. You can leave your body and crawl away." Liang Yi took out a spiritual bottle and ordered. He knew that Zhang Feng's soul was not dead. It was still struggling in his body. As long as Yin Hao let go of his control, it would return it to its original owner.
"This… This…" Yin Hao was a little hesitant. His previous physical body was with his superior. With his fourth-realm cultivation, without the help of his physical body, his soul could only unleash the strength of the first-realm. In Zhang Feng's physical body, he could still use this to negotiate. Once he left, he would have no bargaining chips.
"To die standing or to live kneeling, choose one. I'm not a bloodthirsty person." Liang Yi's tone was cold and hard, but his words were the truth. If he was bloodthirsty, He Zhiqing and Su Youyi beside him looked at Yin Hao curiously, anticipating his choice. Although he was so cowardly before, there was never a lack of people among cultivators who had their blood boiling at the last moment.
"I understand." Yin Hao closed his eyes in pain. He still chose to live on his knees.
A ray of divine light flashed, and a soft grayish-white gas that could not be seen with the naked eye and could only be seen clearly with divine sense emerged from Zhang Feng's body. It entered the spiritual bottle in Liang Yi's hand and turned into a wretched round face. Zhang Feng's body collapsed to the ground.
After capping the bottle, Liang Yi closed it and left it on the table. Everyone's attention was on Zhang Feng.
After a while, Zhang Feng covered his head and slowly sat up from the ground.
"Lu Cheng asked me to give this to you. Take it." Liang Yi took out the mission jade tube and threw it to Zhang Feng. He just needed to check if it was really Zhang Feng.
The moment the confused Zhang Feng caught the jade tube, a system notification appeared in Liang Yi's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission [Lu Cheng's Secret Operation]!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the mission reward: 100,000 experience points, Lu Cheng's favorability +1,000, Lu Cheng's generous reward!]
[Ding! Mission Difficulty Assessment in progress!]
[Quest Difficulty: C-. Experience gained increased by 50%]
[Congratulations on obtaining 50,000 EXP]
"Ah~ This is the most beautiful sound of nature. It's so nice." Liang Yi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. A total of 150,000 experience points was enough for him to feel good. The difficulty of the mission was only C-, which was not beyond his expectations. After all, this time, the other party had already arrived before he could even exert his strength. Moreover, there was also a fourth-realm foreign aid and Zhiqing. In short, he had profited a lot.
Lu Cheng's 1,000 favorable impression points were useless for the time being. As for the remuneration, he had to find him to personally get it. However, after dealing with the matters here, he would directly return to the Dao sect and stay there. He would come out when the Immortal Dynasty's sect competition began.
"Thank you, young heroes. If you have any instructions in the future, I will do my best to complete them!" Zhang Feng took out three jade pendants as tokens and gave them to Liang Yi and the other two.
"You're welcome. This matter is no longer just within your personal scope. With the methods of this evil sect, there are many people in the entire continent who have suffered such a vicious attack!" Liang Yi and the others had already removed their disguises and helped Zhang Feng up with Zhiqing.
"Junior Brother Liang, I have to rush back to the sect to inform Master about this!"
"There's no need. Spiritual Master Fangzhi is currently in the Northwest Poyang Town's Jiangnan Tavern. The shopkeeper there is your master. We met a few days ago." Liang Yi told this news to Zhiqing.
"Really? That's great!"
"Senior brother, should we inform the Immortal Dynasty?" Su Youyi asked.
"Leave this matter to Chief Zhang Feng. The Small Bamboo House is spread all over the world. Its speed in collecting and transmitting information is the fastest in the world. The public trust in it is also relatively high," Liang Yi said to Zhang Feng.
"It's my duty!" Zhang Feng's tone was firm.
"However, we have to pay attention to one thing. Try to tell as many people as possible at once. Even if the imposters from the Spirit Devouring Sect want to stop this news, they won't be able to stop the public."
"Mr. Liang is far-sighted!"
