The thought settled in an instant.
Qin Wuxiang still maintained that exiled Immortal's grace, addressing Tao Qian loud and clear without a pause,
"Daoist, you must be the true Master of Secret of the Toad Sect, Lin Runiu."
"My na is Qin Wuxiang, a naless minor, inferior in skill to Bai Hua. It is only right that I have fallen into your hands, and I have no complaints."
"It is just that I am not from the Seven Evil Sects, but rather, I owed a debt of karma to the master of Master Baihua, which compelled to unwillingly betray and attempt to kill you. I have also heard of the aspirations of the Ancestor Dragon Society, and I deeply admire them."
"Now that my assassination attempt has failed, I consider the debt of karma repaid."
"If you, Daoist, would grant my freedom, once I make arrangents for my family and resolve my mortal attachnts, I would return to Hidden Dragon Mountain and join the Ancestor Dragon Society to undertake a great cause together with other devotees."
"To demonstrate my sincerity, I'll first offer you a benefit that relates to your sect's secret treasure, the Nine Toad Bead."
At this point, Qin Wuxiang paused.
Seeing Lin Runiu looking at him expressionlessly, Qin Wuxiang assud that Lin Runiu was just maintaining a facade while his heart must be greatly stirring. Therefore, he imdiately continued,
"Next to the New Moon, in Tiannan Province,"
"There is a territory called 'Immortal Crane Mountain.' Within the mountain is a temple nad Wutong Temple, the temple master self-titled Wutong Master, who claims to practice the orthodox Daoist scriptures from the Great Book. In reality, he practices Evil Techniques, commanding three hundred disciples who are all devils and ghosts in human form."
"He claims to protect the region but secretly uses the mortal human race as nourishnt to refine various Evil Techniques."
"Several Daoist and Buddhist sects have discovered the details, and when they visited to ask for teachings, they were all killed by him."
"To let you know, this 'Wutong Master' is actually a low-ranking loose cultivator of Evil Techniques. One day, he fortuitously ca upon an incredible exotic treasure in a desolate mass grave, which led him to gain the influence he has today."
"That treasure is actually one of your sect's Nine Toad Beads."
Having said all this, Qin Wuxiang looked at Tao Qian expectantly.
As far as he knew, Lin Runiu was an honest cultivator.
Having first clarified the reasons for the assassination and then revealing his own aspirations, and openly offering this beneficial secret,
With Lin Runiu's honesty, he might just be released imdiately.
While Qin Wuxiang thought this, Lin Runiu indeed showed a smile.
Though he did not release him imdiately, Lin Runiu asked eagerly, "Is there more?"
Qin Wuxiang knew that what Lin Runiu asked about was the location of the other Toad Beads.
Indeed, there was more, but how could he reveal it so easily?
"This man is truly naive and foolish."
"So easily deceived; perhaps I can still trick him and snatch the bizarre Wa Dang."
In Qin Wuxiang's heart, this thought delightfully arose.
Just as he was about to act, in the next mont,
His face suddenly froze, and his eyes showed horror and anger as an unexpected event occurred.
Unwilling though he was, he directly answered Lin Runiu's question quite straightforwardly.
"There are indeed more, let tell you about them."
"In Changbai Province of the Northern Land, there is a territory called 'Erald Waves Lake,' where many mbers of the Water Clan reside, with many powerful beings. Cavernous Mystery realm Devils are not rare, and even so from the Ultimate Happiness realm exist."
"There is one devil self-titled 'One-Horned Thousand-Year-Old,' sounding grandiose but actually it's an alien species of water beast, a Single-Horned Toad as well."
"Originally flaunting and vain, accustod to holding banquets and abducting mortal won to serve as singers and dancers... however, from one day, this devil changed its behavior. No more banquets, no kidnapping of mortal won, just staying focused within its Water Mansion, claiming that it had arrived at a critical mont to refine its thod for a breakthrough."
"In truth, this creature had fortuitously obtained one of the Nine Toad Beads, realizing it was the only chance in its life to attain the Dao, and it is now desperately refining the treasure."
As Qin Wuxiang spoke these words, the look on his face turned extrely grim.
He glared at Lin Runiu where he then realized he had been played,
The Toad Sect's Secret was by no ans an honest one.
On the contrary, it was a cunning ruse.
"What have you done to ?"
"What kind of Devil's Sorcery is this?"
"Shut up!"
Qin Wuxiang had no ti to shout more, as Tao Qian imdiately silenced him.
At that ti, Master Tao felt extrely delighted.
He had used the "True Word Secret Decree" originally to interrogate Qin Wuxiang about the many secrets related to the Seven Evils Sect, the Alchemists, and Yang Longxi.
Unexpectedly, even before he started, he ca across so unexpected gains and received two benefits.
"Including the news given to earlier by Chen Xiyi, the locations of the Toad Pearls in Qiantang Province's Yellow Cloud Mountain, Tiannan Province's Immortal Crane Mountain, and Changbai Province's Erald Waves Lake... thus, I now know about the whereabouts of three Toad Pearls."
"Once I'm free, I'll make a trip to each, and can collect three treasures, the Great Dao is hopeful indeed."
Ti was pressing, and Tao Qian just thought of this and let it go.
Without any further delay, he used the True Word Secret Decree again to start the real interrogation.
Despite Qin Wuxiang's utter reluctance, how could he withstand the supre subli dharma of the Spirit Treasure Sect?
If his realm were higher, such as the Ultimate Happiness Realm, then it would be difficult for Tao Qian to interrogate him.
Ask a single question, and he might risk getting his mana drained completely.
Unfortunately, his cultivation growth was far slower than Tao Qian's, in Southern Yue he was in the Cavernous Mystery Realm, and he remained in that cultivation when they t again.
Unable to overpower him, he confessed everything.
After hearing this, Tao Qian felt considerably less tense.
"One of the thirteen old monsters of the Alchemist, the Founding Emperor of the Yang Dynasty, Yang Longxi, was exceedingly close to descending to the mortal world cleansed of corruption through a Daoist Transformation Embodint. He just needed to consu a huge quantity of the [Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Elixir]."
"However, the Ancestor Dragon Society suddenly incited a rebellion, smashing sixty percent of the blood and flesh factories. The Seven Evil Divine chanisms suffered from this as well, and the supply of demon pills for Yang Longxi imdiately fell short."
"Without any mishaps, it would be very difficult for Yang Longxi to descend again."
This information imdiately brought joy to Tao Qian.
To be extra cautious, he even woke up Zhou Yingchun.
Proceeding by the book, he obtained the sa information.
At that point, Tao Qian intended to use the "Toad God Tile" to patch it up again, making the two faint once more until the gathering was over, then make further plans.
But at this mont, Tao Qian saw a slight change in Qin Wuxiang's expression.
This fellow had intended to deceive the honest man Lin Runiu, only to be counter-interrogated with a secret technique, humiliating in defeat, and furthermore losing precious information. He should be extrely furious, like Zhou Yingchun, wishing but unable to glare Tao Qian to death.
Initially, it was indeed the case, but now he slightly lowered his head, seemingly trying his utmost to suppress his anger, yet to Tao Qian's perception, it gave off a certain feeling.
"This fellow still has secret information, perhaps now he's relieved I'm not asking anymore?"
Upon this thought, Tao Qian imdiately waved his hand, signaling the female ghost A Cuo to wait a mont.
Shortly after, as if struck by a thought, his eyes brightened, and facing Qin Wuxiang, he once again deployed the True Word Secret Decree and asked:
"Is there any unusual movent from that group of old monsters, the Alchemists?"
This question from Tao Qian, like a thunderclap, directly hit Qin Wuxiang's heart soul.
He imdiately turned pale, his eyes full of struggle.
Seeming to resist too fiercely, pus and blood oozed from his seven apertures.
Regrettably, he still couldn't resist.
A few breaths later, as if resigning himself to fate, he opened his mouth and revealed another secret:
"One of the saintly ancestors, the Founding Emperor of the Li Dynasty, the Old Ancestor Li Wanshou."
"After Old Ancestor Yang Longxi found the Descent Technique, he too obtained a secret technique, wishing to descend to the mortal world through a Daoist Transformation Embodint."
"I also do not know what this secret technique specifically is?"
"I only know that it is related to the [Immortal Fish Technique], that magic skill originally used by the old ancestor to fish for cultivators in the cultivation world. Although refining it can bring great benefits, life and death will also fall into the hands of the old ancestor."
"Recently, across the seventy-two provinces, nurous sects, nurous cultivators, nurous talents, because of cultivating the Immortal Fish Technique, have died violently, and those who mutated into demons have begun to sky-rocket."
"Old Ancestor Wanshou himself also seems to be having a tough ti, I often heard the old ancestor's lantations while I was in the secret realm."
"He kept shouting, 'Soon I will return to the Mortal World,' 'I want to slaughter up Penglai Sea, kill that little beast,' 'I want to butcher Yang Sui,' and other hateful words."
"Daoist friend, you might not know, but the little beast in the old ancestor's t
