“It’s the old man you caught before!” Xiaofengling replied.
Fang Yu frowned and thought for a moment.
Then, he remembered the Jiang Dao person he had caught before!
If it wasn’t for Xiao Fengling’s reminder, he wouldn’t have remembered this person at all.
“After Jiang Dao Ren was brought back, I went to the extreme north not long after… and it’s been a year since I came back. That means… Jiang Dao Ren has been tortured by Xiao Feng Ling for more than a year?” Fang Yu looked at Xiao Feng Ling in front of him, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
“Master, you’re awake!,” Xiaofengling asked.
“Well, I’ll go see him right now.” Fang Yu said.
“I’ll go with you, Master,” Xiaofengling said, tilting her head up.
“No need, just fix it here a little bit and I’ll go myself.” Fangyu said.
“Oh…” Xiaofengling lowered her head in disappointment. She had wanted to show Fangyu her accomplishments in front of Daoist Jiang, but now it seemed impossible.
“If I could get some useful information from Jiang Dao’s mouth, I would definitely reward you accordingly. Rest assured.” Fang Yu rubbed Xiaofengling’s head and said.
“…Thank you, master!” Xiaofengling immediately smiled again.
……
Fang Yu came alone to the interrogation cave of Xiao Fengling.
As he walked in, he heard a scream.
“No! I’ll say anything, I’ll tell you everything… please stop torturing me…”
Jiang Dao’s voice was broken, sounding shrill and trembling. His tone betrayed a palpable fear.
Fang Yu walked inside and saw the current miserable state of Daoist Jiang.
He was covered in venomous, thorny vines. His clothes were torn and ragged, bearing fresh wounds that oozed blood.
“Oh…”
Seeing a figure walk out of the cave, Daoist Jiang instinctively squeezed his legs together, his body trembling like a sieve.
“This… what method did Xiaofengling use to torment him?”
Fang Yu looked at Jiang Dao Ren’s movements, his face was strange.
At this moment, Jiang Dao Ren was like a terrified rat seeing a cat. Where was the imposing manner of a master at the Yin-Yang realm from before?
“Jiang Dao Ren, it seems like you haven’t had a good year.” Fang Yu walked to within two meters of Jiang Dao Ren and said with a smile.
“Ah…” Jiang Dao saw Fang Yu and let out another strange cry, his body shaking even more violently.
If he weren’t held back by the vines, he would probably collapse to the ground and pass out.
“Don’t be so scared. I heard Xiaofengling say you’re willing to tell me what you know, right?” Fangyu said.
Jiang Dao’s breath was heavy, and he looked up at Fang Yu.
“Just answer a few questions honestly, and I’ll let you go,” Fang Yu said again.
Jiang Daoren looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with fear as he nodded.
In fact, when Fang Yu controlled Jiang Dao’s body through the Soul Binding Seal before, he had explored his memories, but gained little.
Therefore, he decided to ask directly, hoping to glean more information.
“How much do you know about monks?” Fang Yu thought for a moment before asking.
“…The monk…I haven’t seen him in many years.” Elder Jiang replied tremblingly.
“What’s your impression of him?” Fang Yu asked.
Jiang Dao Ren thought for a moment, then replied in a hoarse voice: “Mysterious… he’s very mysterious.”
“So you don’t know where he is now?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“No, I don’t know.” Jiang Dao shook his head.
“Well then, how much do you know about Wuchenzi?” Fang Yu asked. “For example… has he cultivated avatars?”
“Clones…” Jiang Dao’s eyes flickered, “I do know that much. He likes to cultivate through inhabiting other bodies… Although he says it’s not a clone, in essence, it should be a form of cultivating clones…”
“Cultivation through borrowing a body?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Before I was caught by you… the day before I saw him, he borrowed the body of an old man. I even asked him about it at the time… but he didn’t answer my question directly.” Jiang Dao replied.
<>
At that time, Wudengzi used the body of Bai Konggu.
“He cultivates by borrowing a body, and after cultivation is complete… that body belongs to him?” Fang Yu asked.
“… I’m not sure, but according to him at the time, it should be so.” Jiang Dao replied in a broken manner.
Fang Yu’s brow furrowed.
If Bai Konggu back then… was just a body borrowed for cultivation… then his strange behavior afterward could be explained.
…Baikong Valley… has never returned to normal!
He has always been under the control of Wudengzi… or perhaps, he has always been Wudengzi!
and Bai Konggu… I’m afraid he has already died.
Once he thought about it this way, Fang Yu suddenly understood.
If the later Bai Konggu was indeed Wuchenzǐ, then it would explain what happened before very well.
Wuchenzi had entered the Holy Court twice, so he knew when the alien invasion occurred.
That’s why he suddenly left the Peeking Heaven Bureau before the full-scale invasion of alien races, vanishing without a trace!
Before Fang Yu went to the extreme north, he also wanted to use Bai Konggu’s identity to extract information about those extra-dimensional formations from Fang Yu. However, his actions were too obvious and Fang Yu noticed something was wrong.
“Dustless… truly worthy of having entered the Sacred Institute twice… his aura is concealed so thoroughly, I didn’t notice him at all.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought to himself.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu looked at Jiang Daoist again.
“Have you ever entered the Holy Court? Did the Dao fruit you obtained within the Holy Court tell you anything about the extraterrestrial races?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Upon hearing this question, Master Jiang’s expression changed.
“I, I don’t know…” Jiang Dao replied hastily.
He could completely see the changes in his expression, from before to now.
“If you’re unwilling to speak, then I shall have Xiaofengling return and torment you for another year and a half.” Fang Yu said, turning to leave.
“No! No…” Daoist Jiang cried out in despair.
Fang Yu stopped his movements, looked at Jiang Dao Ren, and smiled, asking: “How about it? Will you tell me or not?”
“I, I can tell you, I did receive news about an alien invasion within the Dao Fruit…” Jiang Dao said in a trembling voice.
“What’s the specific content?” Fang Yu leaned closer to Elder Jiang and asked.
“That’s the time of invasion by foreigners, and their demands on us…” Jiang Daoren said.
“What requirements?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and pursued.
“It, it lets us…” Jiang Dao Ren was speaking, his expression suddenly changing!
He rigidly lifted his head, the veins in his neck bulging out from his jaw to his collar.
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he realized something.
He immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Dao’s neck.
“Boom…”
At this moment, he sensed that the true qi within Jiang Dao’s body was in a state of complete and violent reverse flow.
Meridians are stretched and swollen, as are the blood vessels!
“Damn it!”
In this situation, Fang Yu wouldn’t even have time to stop it.
“Uh… help…”
Jiang Dao ren let out a pained roar, his entire body swelling up.
At the same time, the aura around him reached its peak.
Fang Yu immediately stood up, raised his right hand, and opened a portal.
Then, he grabbed Jiang Dao and shoved him straight into it.
“Boom…”
Jiang Dao’s right calf was still outside the teleportation gate when the explosion occurred.
In an instant, the cave where Fang Yu was located… collapsed with a deafening roar!
……
The smoke cleared.
Fang Yu stood still, looking at the surroundings.
It’s alright, after all it’s just a calf. The explosion only affected the cave.
But Fang Yu’s mood was very bad.
The secret that Jiang Daoren was about to utter was quite crucial.
But… just at this time, he was killed.
The source of Jiang Dao Ren’s explosion and death was actually his own internal Qi.
Just like when Fang Yu first entered the Holy Institution.
When cultivating inside those blessed realms, the absorbed azure energy… would become the Holy Academy’s best way to control those cultivators.
As it turns out, it has come true.
This kind of direct manipulation of true qi causing a self-destruction would leave Fang Yu no time to react, even if he had a way to stop it.
However, at present Fang Yu can basically confirm that the Holy Academy and the awakening and invasion of the alien race…are fundamentally related.
It is very likely also related to the existence of so-called punishers….
“If only I had known, when I first entered the Sacred Academy, I shouldn’t have been so hasty… Cultivating a Dao Fruit or snatching one after another wouldn’t be too late… The secret is all within the Dao Fruit.” Fang Yu tapped his head, feeling a little annoyed.
But now, there are still clues…
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of Wuchenzǐ.
This person, who entered the sanctuary twice, received two holy fruits.
At the same time, he also possessed significantly more information than other monks who had entered the Holy Monastery.
No matter what information you need, regarding monks or convents… Wudengzi definitely knows quite a lot.
“I have to find the Dustless Child… I have to avenge Bai Konggu.” Fang Yu’s eyes were cold, he thought to himself.
