Tycoon War God

Lin Mu remained seated, sipping his tea.

The Gu Luo Saint Lord, Lamp-Yang Primary, and all the top officials of the Gu Yuan Ancient Land were kneeling at his feet.

Even the dignified Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors had no dignity before Lin Mu.

”Speak, why did you use Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to spy on me?”

Lin Mu spoke calmly.

Gu Luo Saint Lord’s body stiffened, his face ashen, unwilling to answer Lin Wudi’s question.

Without Lin Mu having to speak, a sharp gleam flashed in Hu Sanniang’s eyes.

The next moment, pink demonic energy infiltrated every inch of Gu Luo Saint Lord’s skin like maggots on a bone.

”Aaah...”

Despite his cultivation level of Fourth Tribulation Thunder, Gu Luo Saint Lord couldn’t bear the pain and screamed.

Led by Lamp-Yang, the major officials screamed continuously, as if plunged into Hell.

Hu Sanniang laughed charmingly, ”Your senses are linked now, so each person’s pain is the collective pain of everyone.”

Her voice was like a demon’s low whisper, intensifying the anguished cries of Gu Luo Saint Lord and the others.

”If you want to answer the master’s question, you can speak. Of course, if you think you can endure this endless pain, you can remain silent.”

Hu Sanniang chuckled lightly, her face gleaming with a morbid excitement.

Having been brainwashed by the Beast Taming Seal daily, she was nearly broken.

Now encountering the likes of Gu Luo Saint Lord, she poured all her pain and torment onto them.

The secret technique she used was the Demon Race’s most famous interrogation cultivation technique.

Based on demonic energy, it connected everyone’s senses.

Every half incense stick of time, the pain would escalate by a level until everyone in the link collapsed and died!

The Demon Race had once used this method to pry open the mouth of the Seven Tribulations Overlord!

This soul-derived pain was unbearable for anyone!

Mere moments after one incense stick’s time, one official couldn’t endure the pain anymore and spoke up.

”I... I’ll speak... Stop torturing me, give me a quick end!”

The official screamed in despair.

”Deng Ku, shut up!”

”Deng Ku, think of your family, if you dare to speak...”

Lin Mu glanced lightly at those chastising Deng Ku, remaining silent.

Hu Sanniang sneered and said to Hui Yao beside her, ”Seems like some people aren’t afraid of us, think we’re great philanthropists? Hui Yao, go, kill all their families! Kill everyone above Qi Cultivation!”

Hu Sanniang, being of the Demon Race, had no mercy in her heart.

The officials of Gu Yuan Ancient Land were laughable, threatening Deng Ku with family not to speak.

Hui Yao’s mouth twitched slightly and he stood up.

”No... Have mercy, I’ll speak, I’ll speak as well...”

”I was wrong, whatever you want to know, I’ll tell...”

The unbearable pain, combined with the threat to their family’s lives, became the last straw for these two.

Deng Ku and Gu Luo Saint Lord, eyes bulging, wanted to speak, but were controlled by Hu Sanniang, unable to utter a word, only letting out meaningless screams.

Deng Ku dared not hesitate any longer, revealing everything he knew.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know much.

According to him, before Transcending Tribulation, they would make a Heart Demon Oath to strictly keep the organization’s secret, or they’d be struck dead by heavenly lightning!

And their sole task was to help that mysterious organization find the so-called Nine Tripod Fragments.

Deng Ku had never even contacted anyone from that organization, and his Heart Demon Oath was completed under the Gu Luo Saint Lord’s supervision.

The rest of the two officials’ accounts were largely similar.

The only difference was that they had carried out several missions for the organization.

Using Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, they descended upon hundreds of Middle Thousand Worlds, searching for the whereabouts of the Nine Tripod Fragments.

Unfortunately, the Nine Tripod Fragments were elusive and unattainable.

Some searched for tens of thousands of years without finding a single clue.

Over time, many even doubted the very existence of the Nine Tripod Fragments, suspecting it might be an unknown conspiracy of the organization.

If it weren’t for the periodic resources and cultivation techniques they received from the organization, they might have long given up on the search.

”Seems they do know of the Nine Tripod Fragments.”

Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Deng Ku and the others didn’t know much, but they did mention the correct term for the Nine Tripod Fragments.

This indicated that their so-called organization had some understanding of the Nine Tripod Fragments!

For Lin Mu, this was information significant enough to raise his guard.

”I’ve said everything, give me a quick death!”

Deng Ku’s eyes closed, full of despair.

Hu Sanniang snorted coldly, pink demonic energy rippling slightly.

The next moment, Deng Ku and the other three were sucked dry.

Tribulation Thunder practitioners of Three Times were no match for Hu Sanniang’s demonic energy.

”I speak...”

Released from the mouth-binding restriction, Lamp-Yang Primary hurried to speak.

While Deng Ku and the others gave their intel, he had endured endless pain.

After enduring two whole incense sticks’ time, he was on the brink of collapse.

Before today, he never believed that a dignified Tribulation Thunder practitioner would confess due to torture.

Now, he only sought a swift death!

Hu Sanniang’s eyes flashed with mockery.

People of the Heavenly Realm are just like this, thinking they are indomitable unless they suffer a bit.

In the end, they still surrendered and compromised!

Compared to Deng Ku and the others, Lamp-Yang knew a bit more.

He knew that Gu Luo Saint Lord had a Sound Transmission Talisman that could seemingly connect to other continents of the Heavenly Realm.

Gu Luo Saint Lord’s eyes turned crimson with rage when he saw Lamp-Yang disclose even this.

Lamp-Yang Primary, however, was too lost to notice the Gu Luo Saint Lord’s gaze.

Bang!

Lamp-Yang Primary was also absorbed by the demonic energy, turning to ashes.

After killing four, Hu Sanniang’s eyes also became somewhat blood-red.

The last one left was Gu Luo Saint Lord; until now, he was still enduring unimaginable torment.

Even though the other four were dead, the torment he endured still caused him unbearable pain.

Lin Mu didn’t rush, enjoying the various delicacies of Gu Yuan Ancient Land, served by Langya and Li Lingqing.

Mia Qing’s eyes sparkled.

She now finally understood what Lin Wudi’s Six-Colored Divine Light was.

Nine Tripod Fragments.

What kind of magical treasure was it that it drew so much coveting?

The name suggested it wasn’t a complete magical treasure, but just fragments!

Yet even fragments, once refined by Lin Wudi into a magic artifact, could slash a Five Tribulations Overlord.

If all fragments gathered, how powerful would the Nine Cauldrons be?

Perhaps it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could destroy heaven and earth!

Another two incense sticks later, Gu Luo Saint Lord finally broke!

The Demon Race’s interrogation technique, specifically targeting Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors of the Heavenly Realm, could even erode Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.

No Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor could withstand such pain!

Gu Luo Saint Lord was no exception.

”I’ll speak... Whatever you want to know... I’ll say it all...”

After enduring torture for a full six incense sticks’ time, Gu Luo Saint Lord was utterly exhausted, looking extremely dejected.

Like a dead fish, he slumped to the ground.

No longer did he have any of the demeanor of a Holy Land Master.

The women of Langya looked at Hu Sanniang with respect and awe.

Such a terrifying interrogation cultivation technique was unheard of.

If it were them, they probably couldn’t withstand such painful torture either.

No wonder the Heavenly Realm feared the Demon Race so much.

These Demon Races would stop at nothing.

Even though Hu Sanniang was on their side, they still felt a chill down their spines.
