I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Human powerhouse: "..."

"Stop!" He intervened in time to stop Li Mu, then asked Ning Ruan, "Why did you attack?"

"Because I asked him questions, and he said he would never cooperate with me."

"He said?"

“He didn’t say it, but that’s how he acted.”

"..."

The human powerhouse turned his gaze to the severed hand, took a deep breath, and raised his hand in a Daoist salute. "Immortal Venerable, we apologize for our previous offenses. However, we still have many doubts about the affairs of the Immortal Realm. We hope that the Immortal Venerable will grant us a few words to explain the cause and effect."

"You... mortal cultivators, daring to probe the secrets of immortality, shall be annihilated..."

The familiar hoarse voice struggled to escape from the severed hand, intermittent and seemingly about to dissipate, yet it was audible nonetheless.

Ning Ruan raised her eyes and pointed, "Senior, did you hear that? He's still quite uncooperative. Let's take him down first."

"Don't worry, I've already tested it. Even if we kill him, his true form won't be able to sense it; they've lost contact."

"How do you know?"

“I guessed,” Ning Ruan said. “But I’ve tormented him for so long, and I even let him go for a moment before. If his true form could sense it, it should have reacted by now.”

The human warriors fell silent.

The previous respect was gone.

Ning Ruan instinctively sensed the killing intent.

Although the killing intent was not directed at her.

But perhaps because the distance was too close, she, who was particularly sensitive to such things, noticed it immediately.

This mysterious powerful figure wanted to kill the immortal's soul.

It's true, they're determined to kill him!

...Isn't this change a bit too fast?

The murderous intent came quickly and went quickly.

We were almost in Ningruan by the time we got there, and I was starting to think it was my imagination.

The human expert said, "You said before that you could hand him over to me, so give him to me now."

As he spoke, he took out a jade box that was about the length of an arm.

Waiting for Ning Ruan to put the things in.

This was indeed promised.

Ningruan had no intention of backing out.

She stared at the box curiously. "Senior, are you sure this thing can suppress his soul?"

The human powerhouse glanced at her indifferently, "If you can't, I can bear the consequences myself."

That means you're really confident.

That makes sense, considering we've been preparing for several days.

Ning Ruan controlled the orange sword to stop attacking the severed hand's soul.

He tilted his head slightly. "Senior, should we take it back to kill it, or continue to interrogate it?"

She couldn't be wrong about the murderous intent.

Moreover, this powerful figure didn't even bother calling himself an Immortal Venerable anymore; his attitude was completely unpretentious.

It's quite possible that he could kill the soul of an immortal.

The powerful human retorted, "Do you think you can get that out of me?"

Ning Ruan: "...Never mind, I support you killing him, senior."

The human powerhouse did not answer.

He was about to pull out the severed hand and put it into the box.

But right now.

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "You want to understand the Immortal Realm?"

Ning Ruan raised her eyes: "Didn't you say you didn't want to tell me?"

Immortal Soul: "..."

"If I tell you, and you humans release me, I will bestow upon you ten immortal artifacts, and within a hundred years, I guarantee that ten chosen ones will be born among the human race."

This offer is truly generous.

It was so generous it was unbelievable.

And destiny... can be distributed as a reward?

What the hell is this?

Ning Ruan narrowed her eyes and suddenly spoke, "I don't want to know about the Immortal Realm anymore. I want to know why you destroyed the Cursed Crow Clan, and what they found out?"

Immortal Soul: "Yes..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

The human powerhouse suddenly interrupted, "It's not advisable to ask him questions now. If he's lying, we won't be able to tell. Let's wait until we return to the Spirit Realm before questioning him."

Ning Ruan cast a suspicious glance at her, "But you asked that too, senior."

Human powerhouse: "..." How can humans be so difficult to deal with?

"Senior, aren't you curious about the Cursed Raven Clan?" Ning Ruan continued, "Or do you already know?"

Human powerhouse: "..."

He said, "You talk too much. How would I know about the annihilation of the Cursed Raven Clan?"

Ning Ruan said, "That's perfect, let's listen to him together."

A powerful human: "After hearing this, you might get into big trouble."

Ning Ruan: "I'm not afraid."

Human powerhouse: "..."

Ning Ruan: "Senior, you've stopped me time and time again. It's really hard for me not to suspect that you actually know something."

As soon as she said this, even Li Mu occasionally raised his dark eyes to stare at the human powerhouse.

"..."

The latter had no other options.

He truly hadn't expected that this immortal would be so spineless.

In theory, we shouldn't let them interrogate us and never reveal a single word.

How can we really compromise?

"Do you... know your ancestral land?"

The immortal lowered his voice, his tone urgent, clearly revealing a sense of impatience.

"What is the ancestral land?" Ning Ruan asked without paying attention to the human race expert's expression.

Li Mu listened intently, his eyes deep in thought.

"It's been... a long time since any of your cultivators have ascended... hasn't it?"

"I don't know," Ning Ruan answered truthfully.

The immortal was speechless, almost at a loss for words.

Li Mu asked, "Is your inability to ascend related to me?"

The immortal's spirit chuckled twice, perhaps because he had talked too much, his speech was even more fluent than before:

"You may know... that one cannot ascend to heaven without divine mandate."

"But... that's not absolute."

"If you can... let me leave, I can take you to the ancestral land. Only there can you have the chance to ascend."

"As for the Cursed Raven Clan... these mere mortal cultivators dared to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of their ancestral land and dared to dream of returning to it... they deserve to die."

Ning Ruan seemed to understand.

She stared at the severed hand and asked, "So, your clan was wiped out because the Cursed Raven Clan inquired about the whereabouts of that ancestral land?"

"They can't just be asking around, can they? Have they actually found it?"

If it's not found, it might just be a warning at best.

Since the ancestral land is keeping it secret and doesn't want to be exposed, it shouldn't act rashly.

The only reason they would take such drastic action and exterminate an entire clan is that they must have discovered something.

really.

The immortal's spirit immediately followed up, saying, "That is not a place they should go... Without an imperial decree, daring to go there rashly is courting death."

Li Mu's tone was icy: "If that's the case, then your promise that we could go to the ancestral land was also a lie?"

"No!" The immortal's soul immediately denied, "You are different. Your assistance in helping my soul return is a great achievement."

"Since you have rendered such great service, I will give you two a chance. What's wrong with that?"

After saying that, he changed his mind and said, "It's not just the two of you. I can give you a total of three spots for ascension."

"As for this destiny, you can ascend to immortality without going to the ancestral land. You can give any extra spots to your clansmen."

"There is only one rule: you must not divulge this matter to anyone."

"Otherwise, the calamity of the Cursed Raven Clan will soon befall your human race as well."

"Even if you are now one of the ten major races, it's useless."

"?"

Ning Ruan suddenly interjected, "We are... one of the ten major races?"
