The devil flame on his fingertips hovered half an inch in front of Zhang Xiu's eyebrows, and Qin He suddenly withdrew his hand.

Killing him is easy, but the "soul fostering" rhetoric of the Divine Court is most likely true, and at most it is just an exaggeration.

If the person is not completely dead, there will be no shadow play when the body is cremated, so this trip will be in vain.

He leaned over, and the magic patterns on his fingertips wrapped around Zhang Xiu's wrist, like a chain tying up prey, dragging him towards the Demon Abyss.

Three Hades wolves were lying not far away. When they saw Zhang Xiu being captured, they suddenly raised their only two remaining heads.

A fierce light flashed in his copper-bell-sized pupils, and the white sulfurous mist emitted from his nostrils became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that he saw that his strongest opponent had lost the ability to resist, so he set his sights on Sin City again.

It dug the ground with its front paws, and its bony claws drew deep grooves in the ground. Just as it was about to stand up, it heard Qin He's cold shout.

"retreat!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried the pressure of the origin of the Demon Abyss.

The three-headed Hades Wolf froze all over, and the ferocity that had just emerged was instantly suppressed. They lay obediently on the ground, not even daring to shake their tails.

Qin He dragged Zhang Xiu, and his figure gradually merged into the magic cloud.

As he left, the tide of evil beasts outside the city began to retreat madly like a tide that had lost its guidance.

Some pushed each other to drill into the cracks in the ground, while others flapped their wings and flew into the depths of the wilderness. In just half an incense stick of time, the originally densely packed monsters disappeared without a trace.

Inside the city, the demon turtle that was causing chaos also stopped its actions.

The huge body turned into wisps of green smoke, floated out through the gap in the city-covering formation, and finally dissipated into the air.

The entire Sin City was dead silent for a whole incense stick of time.

The silence was not broken until someone tremblingly shouted, "The monsters are retreating."

The Fu family, night watchmen, government officials and surviving criminals all came out from their hiding places, looking at the devastated streets, their faces filled with relief at having survived the disaster.

Someone soon discovered something was wrong. The magic turtle had just knocked down half of the houses on the street, but when they cleaned up the scene, they didn't find a single body.

The patrolling city guards who were hit had their arms and legs broken at most, and no one died.

"This demon... doesn't seem to be planning to kill us all?" Someone murmured in a low voice, then quickly covered his mouth after realizing what was happening. No one dared to respond.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the faces of the Fu family members were not looking good.

The two elders of the Fu family looked at the empty golden chariot, their fingers clenched until they turned white.

The divine messenger had been abducted, and they, the guards, were inexcusable. Although the appearance of the demon was force majeure, they would inevitably be punished if the divine court held them accountable.

"Family elder, what should we do now?" a gilded general asked in a low voice.

The elder holding the jade ruyi sighed, his face solemn: "It is impossible to save the divine envoy. The evil demon is too powerful. We will die if we chase it."

He paused and continued, "But no matter what, we should send a few teams to search outside the city. At least it should show that we have done our best."

"Immediately send someone to contact the Divine Punishment Department's personnel in the lower realms to confirm the 'Devil's crossing over' incident. With this evidence, the Divine Court will be able to show some leniency in his punishment."

The general nodded and went down to make arrangements immediately.

Soon, more than a dozen well-equipped search teams left the city, but they only circled within a hundred miles of the Sin City and did not even dare to approach the direction of the Demon Abyss.

On the edge of the Demon Abyss, in a hidden cave.

Qin He threw Zhang Xiu to the ground and set up a magic barrier at the entrance of the cave to prevent the breath from leaking.

He squatted down and looked at the unconscious Zhang Xiu, frowning slightly.

The matter of fostering souls in the Divine Court is really like cheating and very troublesome.

"Let me ask clearly first." Qin He made up his mind and pointed the magic flame at Zhang Xiu's neck with his fingertips.

The burning pain woke Zhang Xiu up instantly. He opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Qin He, his eyes were full of resentment.

"Evil demon, if you dare to touch me, the Divine Court will never let you go!"

Qin He ignored his curses, raised his hand and pulled a vine, injected his magic power into it, and the vine instantly became as hard as iron, binding Zhang Xiu tightly.

"I ask, you answer." Qin He's tone was icy. "Where is the God's Merit Pool? What is the specific method of soul fostering?"

Zhang Xiu spat and sneered, "Thinking about getting words out of me? Dream on! I'm the Divine Court's criminal justice officer. How could I bow to a demon like you?"

Qin He was not annoyed. The magic flame on his fingertips lit up again, and this time it fell directly on Zhang Xiu's arm.

"Fuck!"

The sound of burning flesh was harsh. Zhang Xiu twitched in pain, his forehead covered with cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Don't say it?" Qin He raised his eyebrows, and the demonic flame moved to his other arm.

For the next half hour, screams continued to be heard from the cave.

Zhang Xiu's body was covered with burns, his clothes were tattered and his bones were exposed, but he never let go and kept cursing Qin He.

Qin He stopped and looked at Zhang Xiu, who was as stubborn as a bone, feeling helpless.

If the hard one doesn’t work, maybe try the soft one.

He retracted the demonic flame and spoke more slowly, "As long as you tell the truth, I can spare your soul. Once this is settled, I'll let you go. How about that?"

Zhang Xiu heard this, as if he had just heard a huge joke. He coughed up bloody saliva and said, "Let me go? Do you think I will believe your evil lies? Even if you don't kill me, the Divine Court will find me, and then we can still deal with you!"

Qin He frowned, it seemed that bribery was useless.

Then we can only use this last resort.

The method of capturing souls.

Directly invade his sea of ​​consciousness and forcibly search his soul.

But there is a problem with this method, it requires extremely strong spiritual support.

Qin He had dispersed his energy and started cultivating again before, and his soul had not had time to cultivate, so his current strength was not enough.

The only way is to use the soul-capturing magic circle.

He had collected a lot of treasures around the Demon Abyss and Sin City before, and most of the materials needed for the magic circle were available, except for two things that made the center of the formation.

One is the crystal core of a soul-stealing evil beast, above level four, and the other is the resentful soul flower.

Both of these things are difficult to find, so you need help from someone who is familiar with the terrain.

Qin He thought of Daya Jin.

I've met him in the cave before. He's very familiar with the situation around the Demon Abyss and might know where to find these two things.

"It seems I have to find Daya Jin and the others first." Qin He stood up, glanced at Zhang Xiu who was still cursing on the ground, raised his hand and hit his coma point with a stream of magic power.

Zhang Xiu fainted instantly.

Qin He dragged him deep into the cave and reinforced the seal with magic patterns to ensure that he could not escape.

"I'll settle the score with you once I find the materials." Qin He muttered to himself, turned and walked out of the cave, flying towards the previously agreed meeting point.

Time waits for no one, and reinforcements from the Divine Court may arrive at any time. He must complete the soul-capturing formation as soon as possible and dig out useful information from Zhang Xiu's mouth.
