Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Sinister and Sly! Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Sinister and Sly! Now, the situation had beco sowhat chaotic.
Treasure Hunters were hastily defending themselves—
“No! Definitely not ! I haven’t been possessed! I haven’t!”
“You can’t suspect ! I’m innocent! Damn it! Evil spirits! Co out! Fight !”
“If you have the guts, fight fair and square! Using these sneaky spider tricks, you’re nothing but animals!”
…
Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brows.
No matter what, he was sure there was no problem with himself.
Huang Xiaolong had not been possessed. In fact, he rather wished he had been, so he could counterattack directly!
His gaze turned toward his five slaves.
“Master! We—we haven’t been possessed! Master, please discern!”
The five slaves, trembling in genuine fear, knelt down, shivering as if sieved through a chaff.
“Rise,” regardless of others, Huang Xiaolong still had confidence in his own five slaves. For these five had undergone brainwashing through his Secret Technique, leaving shackles within their souls.
If his slaves were possessed, Huang Xiaolong would have noticed.
From the current situation, the five slaves were all genuine, with no possibility of possession.
“Yes, yes~ Master~” the five slaves then stood up relieved, their heads covered in cold sweat.
“Brother-in-law, do not suspect ,” the Third Crown Prince spoke earnestly to Huang Xiaolong.
“Brother-in-law, both the Third Brother and I are fine,” pleaded the Ninth Princess with serious and begging eyes; she did not want Huang Xiaolong to suspect her.
Huang Xiaolong remained noncommittal.
“We don’t have any issues,” declared both the Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Fla Immortal Emperor in unison.
“There’s nothing amiss with us,” the two Demon Kings squeaked.
“Now things are a bit difficult to tell~” Huang Xiaolong subtly released his divine sense, scanning the multitude of Treasure Hunters imdiately.
The scan revealed their souls seed largely unchanged.
That is to say, using divine sense to inspect, it was impossible to discern which of the Treasure Hunters had been possessed.
“Amazing~ Truly amazing~ This thod of possession leaves no traces,” Huang Xiaolong was sowhat shocked himself.
He was, in fact, not unfamiliar with the concept of possession.
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was more than familiar with various possession Secret Techniques.
After all, as the Yin Emperor commanding myriad spirits, ghosts, and specters excel precisely in possession, don’t they?
Furthermore, after taking control of the planet Hell, Huang Xiaolong learned even more possession Secret Techniques, including so that were among the top secrets of the universe.
But generally, every thod of possession was traceable. Simply put, possession entailed devouring the target’s soul and usurping the body.
That is, the body of the possessed remained the sa, but the original soul had vanished.
However, from the current situation, all the Treasure Hunters still had their souls intact!
“Can such a thod of possession preserve the target’s soul?” Huang Xiaolong was astounded.
If that were true, the beings of this fourth realm were too dreadful! Too bizarre! Too formidable!
At that mont, both the Sword Immortal Emperor and Purple Fla Immortal Emperor quickly directed, instructing the Profound Immortals to line up in rows.
The two Demon Kings followed suit, ordering all the demon saints to also stand in a row.
“Profound Immortal, starting with you, recount so of the important events in your life,” Sword Immortal Emperor demanded, his gaze piercing as he looked at the first Profound Immortal on his left.
“Yes, yes, Sword Immortal Emperor, you must believe ! I am innocent!” the Profound Immortal declared with a resigned expression.
“There’s no need for that nonsense now!” Sword Immortal was infuriated, “No one is absolutely innocent! Speak now!”
“Yes!” The Profound Immortal gathered his thoughts and then spoke clearly, “I, as a Profound Immortal, co from a highly distinguished celestial family known for forging flying swords. Gifted from a young age, I began learning how to forge flying swords at three, and by ten, I’d crafted a high-quality flying sword, which earned special training from my family. At twenty-one, I was sent to the ‘Sword Sect’… At thirty-eight, I killed the bandits of Mount Lang, including eighty-one Golden Immortals, gaining great fa across the celestial realm…”
This Profound Immortal recited the proudest monts of his life flawlessly, as if recounting treasures one by one without any omissions.
His feats were well known throughout the celestial realm and were no secret.
After hearing the Profound Immortal’s account, all the Profound Immortals, along with Sword Immortal Emperor and Purple Fla Immortal Emperor, sighed in relief.
“Alright, Profound Immortal, you may step aside for now,” Sword Immortal Emperor said softly. Then, turning to another Profound Immortal, he commanded, “You speak.”
Interrogation.
Endless interrogation.
Two Demon Kings also began to interrogate their underlings.
Huang Xiaolong simply leaned against a stone sculpture and sat down, shaking his head.
“Brother-in-law, why are you shaking your head?” Ninth Princess asked curiously.
“These Immortal Emperors and Demon Kings are desperate,” Huang Xiaolong explained with a wry smile. “In fact, the person who was possessed hasn’t undergone any change in soul. This ans that the techniques for possession in this world are unparalleled in the universe. They can preserve the target’s soul, hence mories, Cultivation Techniques, and emotions all remain intact. There’s no use in questioning.”
“Doesn’t that leave us helpless?” The Third Crown Prince beca anxious. “If we can’t identify the target of possession, we’re all going to end up dead here! It’s an unsolvable deadlock!”
“Let think…” Huang Xiaolong cald himself, “There’s always a flaw in every world…”
Night was waning, and the east began to show the first pale light of dawn.
The first rays of the morning light arrived as promised.
The two Demon Kings and two Immortal Emperors had thoroughly interrogated all their Profound Immortals and Demon Sages.
Just as Huang Xiaolong had said.
Nothing was uncovered!
Whether they were Profound Immortals or Demon Sages, they answered smoothly.
They spoke of their past and their glorious achievents vividly and in detail, making it feel as if one were there.
Confused.
Both the Demon Kings and the Immortal Emperors were confused.
“Wait—” Suddenly, the Profound Immortal’s gaze sharpened as he stared at Sword Immortal Emperor and Purple Fla Immortal Emperor. “Lord Immortal Emperors, we have all spoken, what about you?”
With those words!
All of the Profound Immortals and Demon Sages’ expressions changed dramatically!
Suspicion! Fear! Shock!
Yes, so far, only Sword Immortal Emperor, Purple Fla Immortal Emperor, Ku, and Roar, these four leaders, had not been interrogated.
“Oh? Profound Immortal, are you doubting ?” Sword Immortal Emperor chuckled coldly.
“Not at all,” the Profound Immortal replied respectfully yet firmly. “Lord Sword Immortal Emperor, I have always held you in the highest regard. However, given the current critical situation, any of us could have been possessed. Lord Sword Immortal Emperor, to put us at ease, please share your story as well.”
His words garnered the agreent of all the Profound Immortals.
“Lord Sword Immortal Emperor, Lord Purple Fla Immortal Emperor, please forgive us. This is all to eliminate the evil presence in this realm!” the Profound Immortals pleaded tearfully.
On the other hand, all the Demon Sages were also urging Ku and Roar, the two Demon Kings, to share their past honestly.
“Heh, heh, heh—” Huang Xiaolong chuckled coldly. “How cunning! Very cunning! It seems they want to stir up internal strife among the Treasure Hunters!”
