Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3327 Interrogation

The Tianyuan Dao Sect has issued a notification, requesting every cultivator to participate in interrogation.

Luo Chen is also included.

...

In a room, the silence was so intense that a pin drop could be heard.

A voice emanated from behind the screen.

”Xuan Luo of the Su Ling Sect, recount your experiences during the Demon Suppression Trial one by one.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow; such words seemed more like an interrogation.

Wasn’t the visit to the Tianyuan Dao Sect after the trial supposed to be a reward and a privilege?

It appears the unusual events in the Dark Demon Cave have drawn great attention from the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

While pondering this, he responded without hesitation.

”After entering the Dark Demon Cave, I stayed in the outer regions and did not encounter any Demon Spirits. Following the secret technique bestowed by Sect Master Taisu Spirit Monarch, I attempted to sense my fellow disciples. I originally intended to clear the Nine Nether Demon Moss while heading to meet with them, but while passing through an outer area, I unexpectedly discovered a demon cave shattered by Daoist Sect seniors. At that time, the Spirit Qi was abundant, and I felt that my Divine Soul was particularly active, thinking it was a good cultivation land, so I simply stayed and cultivated there. This process lasted a full three years and only ended when the Demon Suppression Tower was activated.”

”The specific address, state it in detail!”

”Uh, this...”

”Do not attempt to skirt around this, and according to our knowledge, you had signs of Demon Contamination before the trial. From where did this contamination originate?”

”This brother, this matter involves sect secrets, I fear...”

”Hmph, in front of our Dao Sect, what secrets can there be? Just speak, our sect’s seniors will appease Taisu Spirit Monarch on your behalf.”

”Alright!”

Luo Chen sighed and recounted the events surrounding the Gray Triangle Ink Jade Space.

Including Jiang Huang’s involvement, he did not leave it out.

At the end, he also detailed his route during the Demon Suppression Trial.

From behind the screen came a hush.

However, with Luo Chen’s Divine Perception, he could hear clearly.

”Sister Yu, does it match?”

”This junior from the Su Ling Sect hasn’t lied; it matches with Jiang Huang’s account.”

”Is there a possibility they have colluded?”

”There is our sect’s expert Array Suppression; to lie would require the Divine Soul mastery of a Void Refining True Monarch. Moreover, the route he mentioned matches the traces of the Demon Spirit Gourd’s use. I’ve asked my father, who indeed shattered an outer demon cave on that route, marveling at the dense Demonic Qi even in the outer regions.”

”Is your father alright? I’d like to take some time to visit him.”

”Alas, his physical body is destroyed, leaving only his Primordial Spirit escaped, not suitable for visiting; it’s best to settle the matters at hand first!”

”Sister speaks wisely!”

After a moment of silence.

A voice again came from behind the screen.

”You may go back now. Think over whether anything has been overlooked, we’ll invite you back in a few days to assist us in the investigation.”

Come again?

Luo Chen furrowed his brow, bowed, and took his leave.

Upon his departure, the screen was withdrawn, revealing two figures.

One was a gentle woman with a refined charm of a young lady.

The other was a handsome young man with an exuberant demeanor.

The man looked at the slightly frowning woman and asked in confusion, ”Sister Yu, is there something wrong with what he said?”

Sister Yu shook her head, ”There’s nothing wrong with what he said, but I was thinking, all accomplished immortal cultivators are dignified individuals. To interrogate like this is really too offensive. Once might be overlooked, but if this continues, it may anger them and even their sects behind them.”

The brother scoffed, ”These cultivators from minor sects, what is there to fear offending?”

Sister Yu sighed, ”If there weren’t a concern about offending, why set up this screen? Isn’t it just to avoid creating enmity with them?”

The brother was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly, ”Sister is indeed wise; I haven’t thought of that.”

”Next time, use a gentler tone for the interrogation; among these people, one might become an elder or sect leader someday.” Sister Yu combed her hair, intending to say more when suddenly she paused, holding a Jade Jue in her hand.

The man beside her looked over curiously.

”Is this... the symbol of that person?”

Sister Yu’s eyes sparkled as she carefully listened to the transmission within the Jade Jue.

Upon finishing, her expression turned somewhat peculiar.

”What’s the matter, sister?”

”It’s nothing, I’m heading out for a while. Brother, continue questioning others!”

Having said this, Sister Yu jogged out of the room.

...

After exiting that small dark room, Luo Chen stroked his chin, contemplating for a long while before nodding.

It seems that the Demon Spirit Gourd also records the activity range of trial cultivators.

The Tianyuan Dao Sect uses this to verify the truth of the trial cultivators’ statements.

Fortunately, he hadn’t spoken any lies, as he indeed traversed that route.

However, it was only part of it; he later directly ventured into the central area from that route, entering the Central Demon Abyss.

Still, given the significant turmoil in the Central Demon Abyss and the cross-border arrival of the Demon Realm Saint Ancestor, only deploying the Four Great War Generals to oversee the Demon Suppression Tower and having these Nascent Soul-stage juniors interrogate them.

Is it somewhat dismissive?

Luo Chen pondered this, and found himself chuckling.

Speaking of being dismissive, isn’t it actually doing the best possible?

The Four Great War Generals are all late-stage Void Refining and peak-level formidable beings, representing the strongest combat force of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

It’s not feasible for the venerable Tianyuan Great Power to intervene personally!

Moreover, for these Nascent Soul Cultivators, the combination of formation and Demon Spirit Gourd is sufficient to extract information.

It seems, aside from Dean He requiring the inquiry of Daoist Sect Great Power, everyone else encountered the same arrangement as Luo Chen.
