The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4376: Gathering Intelligence

Chi Xiao was gliding above the sky, with a wide field of vision, and he soon saw the marching generals of Da Xia.

Qin Yun's perception also detected Chi Xiao's figure at the first moment. At the same time, he withdrew the connection with the Beast Taming Technique, temporarily removed the perception of the World Core, and quickly stepped forward.

As Chi Xiao swooped down to the ground, his pair of sharp claws suddenly stretched out, and the Qingshan Sect leader lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. His vitality, which was originally in danger, also reached a critical point at this moment. If he was not careful, his consciousness would dissipate and he would become a corpse.

"Your Majesty!" The moment Chi Xiao saw Qin Yun, his tension was finally relieved. He let out a long sigh and let go of his guard.

Everyone knew that this task was difficult, and that they must have endured great psychological pressure to complete it. Qin Yun nodded and praised him generously: "Chi Xiao, you are worthy of being the chief steward of the Cliff Hall. Whether you succeed or not in this expedition to the Lingkong Sect and guarding the ancient tree group position, you are the first-class hero."

Chi Xiao smiled in a somewhat naive way. His huge body and wings covered the sky, but his tone was as gentle as water, which formed a sharp contrast: "Your Majesty, let's try him quickly. I don't think he can hold on for much longer."

Looking at the captured Qingshan Sect leader, Qin Yun's face instantly darkened and he questioned him harshly.

"Tell me! Do you know that there is a hidden sect hidden in the Huafu Tianqing Mountains? It not only divides up the luck and energy of the sects on the mountains, but also uses other sects to cover up the fact of its own existence!"

At this time, the leader of Qingshan Sect had long lost his original anger after being tortured for several hours.

He slightly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Qin Yun. He was immediately shocked: "You...you are the king of the Great Xia Empire, Qin Yun!" Qin Yun had never expected that even the sects on the edge of the Baisha Territory could recognize him at a glance.

It seems that the speed of information circulation in Baisha Territory is extremely fast, and the way the information is spread must be organized and disciplined. One or two times can be explained by coincidence, but three or four times, there must be someone playing tricks.

"You don't need to know my identity. Answer my questions, or you will die!"

Qin Yun said in a deep voice, and the leader of Qingshan Sect looked around, trying to find a way to escape and get a chance to survive, but his eyes fell on the generals, and he instantly realized that what Qin Yun said was true. If he did not obey his orders today, he would only die.

After a brief thought, the leader of Qingshan Sect was quickly defeated and revealed everything as Qin Yun expected.

He let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Okay, my name is Gao Xun, and I am the leader of Qingshan Sect..."

Before Gao Xun could finish, Qin Yun interrupted him in a harsh voice: "I don't care who you are! Answer my question!"

In such a high-pressure environment, facing the siege of Daxia's generals, Gao Xun swallowed his saliva subconsciously and replied hurriedly: "Yes, I do know the existence of Lingkong Sect, but I was forced to do so. They are very powerful and Qingshan Sect is no match for them. In order to protect the disciples of the sect, I can only be forced to cooperate with them."

Qin Yun was tired of hearing this kind of talk. "You know what I want to know. If you continue to evade the important issues, I don't mind killing you and finding another way to understand Lingkong Sect."

Hearing this, Gao Xun took a breath of cold air. It was not difficult to guess that the other way Qin Yun mentioned was to completely destroy the Qingshan Sect. In the entire sect, there was always a soft persimmon who would speak out.

This was undoubtedly contrary to Gao Xun's expectations. He said he was protecting the sect's disciples, but Qin Yun had already seen what he did behind the scenes. Otherwise, he would not have pointed directly at Gao Xun and brought him here.

Gao Xun no longer hesitated and said bluntly: "I did cooperate with Lingkong Sect. They protected me from being affected and guaranteed their own cultivation. At the same time, they ensured that Qingshan Sect was the strongest sect in the Huafutianqing Mountains and was not disturbed by the outside world. Even if there were powerful invaders, Lingkong Sect would take action and never ignore them."

"And then?" Qin Yun asked, "What did you give to Lingkong Sect? Was it just a cover-up, nothing else?"

Gao Xun vaguely sensed something, but he was not sure, so he answered tremblingly: "Yes, they need the essence and blood of living people to replenish the void energy, so I hid it from my disciples and held a sacrificial ceremony every thirty days, giving people to them in exchange for peace."

Qin Yun snorted coldly upon hearing this, and asked in return: "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to protect the sect and the disciples? Your words are inconsistent, and you are doing something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, and you are still trying to find excuses for yourself. How ridiculous!"

Facing Qin Yun's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, Gao Xun felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, unable to live or die.

Qin Yun had his own way to deal with such a selfish person: "Tell me, where is the Lingkong Sect's position? Since you signed such a contract, you must have been to the sect's position. You even left Qingshan Sect just now just to go to Lingkong Sect."

Gao Xun was puzzled and couldn't understand why Qin Yun knew everything about his actions.

With the death threat and the constant attack on his mind, Gao Xun no longer had the courage to tell a lie: "You are right, I do plan to go to Lingkong Sect, but not to their position. I am going to meet their leader to report the matter of the blood and essence of the living being sent there. As for their position, I have never been there. I only know that it is deep underground, deeper in the Huafu Tianqing Mountains, and there is no way to find out."

Judging from Gao Xun's reaction, he was not lying.

In the eyes of Lingkong Sect, he was nothing more than a weak and incompetent chess piece, not even qualified to approach the position.

The information Qin Yun had obtained from Gao Xun was enough for him to catch the other party. It was not difficult to go deep into the Huafu Tianqing Mountains. As early as when he faced Wu Yi at the Cliff Mountain, Qin Yun had a different opinion.

The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is; the more inconspicuous a place is, the more likely it is to hide amazing secrets.

Gao Xun had no value in continuing to live at that time, but Qin Yun still had one question in mind, so he simply asked with a try-it attitude: "Why were you able to recognize me at first sight? Have you ever seen my portrait?"

Gao Xun hesitated briefly, then answered frankly, "Yes, your name is known throughout the Baisha Territory, and your portraits are everywhere. It's hard not to recognize you. After all, Daxia is moving too fast, and many people are watching in secret."

"Oh?" Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Then who is responsible for spreading the news throughout Baisha Territory?"

Hearing this question, Gao Xun did not answer directly, but rolled his eyes and keenly smelled a glimmer of chance to survive.

Although the Great Xia Empire is powerful and has conquered countless small and medium-sized sects, and has also dabbled in large sects, but in the final analysis, it only takes a few years to ascend to the Holy Realm, and the speed of change in the Holy Realm is uncertain. It can remain unchanged for a hundred years, or it can change dramatically overnight. Not all situations can be understood at the first time.
