Chapter 866

Wu Jie grinned hideously, his figure not moving, and a huge pressure descended on the two of them. In an instant, their complexions turned pale, realizing the gap in strength between themselves and Wu Jie. Even the thought of resistance faded away, and terror filled their eyes.

One of them asked in a trembling voice, “Who are you people and why are you arresting us？”

Wu Jie didn’t answer either. His pair of eyes like ghost fire sized them up with unstable expression making the two people feel even more frightened (terrified and uneasy) and tremble all over.

After a long while, Wu Jie said coldly, “I have something to ask you. You can choose to answer or not, but if you can’t satisfy me, I will strip your souls out and check your memories. If you don’t want to suffer the pain of soul-devouring, it’s best to cooperate honestly.”

“The pain of soul-devouring…” The two Transcendent Realm warriors trembled, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Their strength was not low either, and naturally they knew what kind of torture the pain of soul-devouring was. It was an unbearable pain on the soul. Generally, only very evil warriors would use such means to force interrogation.

The person in front of them had a greenish aura all over his body and eyes like ghost fire. At a glance, he was not a good thing…

They nodded repeatedly, “Ask, if there is anything we know, we will definitely answer.”

Wu Jie smiled slightly, expressing satisfaction, and then said leisurely, “Do you know where this is？”

The two martial artists exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously. One of them said, “Shouldn’t this be the Nine Heavens Holy Land？”

“That’s right, it’s the Nine Heavens Holy Land. You have quite a bit of courage. Knowing it’s the Nine Heavens Holy Land, you still dare to loiter outside？” Wu Jie raised his eyebrows. “Speak up. What are you here for？”

The person on the left quickly replied, “We came to look for secret treasures.”

“Looking for secret treasures？” Wu Jie smiled with a strange expression. “Looking outside？”

“That’s right.”

“Who told you there are secret treasures outside？”

“Many people are spreading this rumor…” The man quickly began to explain. After hearing his words, Yang Kai finally understood. He didn’t know who had spread such news outside, saying that in a great battle a few years ago in the Nine Heavens Holy Land, countless martial artists died. Those dead martial artists dropped many secret treasures nearby, attracting many people to come here and try their luck to see if they could find one or two precious things.”

“There are quite a few people outside. Are they all here to look for secret treasures？” Wu Jie asked with a frown.

“Some are, and some seem to be here to kill demonic beasts… I heard that there are many sixth and seventh-order demonic beasts that have run over from the Beast Sea Jungle. Those demonic beasts have quite good materials for refining weapons on them.”

The other person also quickly said, “It seems that there are also some who came to kill the demons. I heard that the new Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land has accepted a group of demons here. They want to clean up those demons to correct the atmosphere！”

“Just with you people?” Wu Jie looked at them like idiots and said contemptuously, “Since you heard there are devils here, haven’t you heard what level those demons are?

The news said there are not many experts among that group of demons just a few martial artists in the Transcendent Realm…”

“Hehe…” Wu Jie gave a strange laugh, nodded and said, “Not many experts… Hmm, indeed not many, just five.”

But those are five Saint Realm powerhouses, among which there are even three at the Second Layer of the Saint Realm！

Wu Jie had seen Li Rong and Shirley fight with his own eyes and knew that with the capital of the Ancient Demon Clan like this, it was not something that one or two large sects could swallow.

To clean them up, at least three or four forces like Tianxiao Sect would have to gather together. And they also had to be prepared to bear huge losses.

Just with these clowns wanting to clean up the demon, it’s simply courting death.

After asking a few more questions and confirming that these two guys didn’t have much information, Wu Jie knocked them out again.

Standing up and looking at Yang Kai, Wu Jie frowned and said, “Sect Master, it seems that someone deliberately spread some unfavorable news to guide these nosy martial artists to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.”

“Hmm.” Yang Kai nodded. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the human powerhouse named Wu Zheng he had seen before.

If there wasn’t someone taking the lead in spreading such news. There’s no reason it could deceive so many people, and the person spreading the news also has to possess a certain amount of prestige. Otherwise, those obvious lies would easily be exposed by others.

Wu Zheng obviously has such an ability.

What does the person spreading the news stand to gain？ He clearly knows that these people can’t do anything to the Holy Land.

“Someone doesn’t want Li Rong and the others to stay in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.” Yang Kai snorted. “And they even less want to see us befriending the Demon Race, thinking it’s a disgrace to the Human Race.”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something, and raised his eyebrows and said, “Does the Holy Master mean that that person incited these busybody martial artists to come to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, attempting to lure you all into taking action？”

“That should be the case.” Yang Kai nodded. “Once the shot is made, no matter who makes the move, it can be framed on Li Rong and the others. At that time, that person can use this as an excuse to attract the heroes of the world to attack Li Rong and the others. If Li Rong and the others are attacked, I can’t just sit back and ignore it. Once I intervene, the Holy Land will also be involved. At that time, facing the enemies of the world, the Holy Land will never be able to survive.”

“So insidious？” Xu Hui’s face changed.

“Well, it’s indeed rather despicable and malicious…” Wu Jie fell into thought. “For any power, with so many martial artists lingering outside their doorstep, they would definitely take action to drive them away. Wu Mou believes that among those people, there must be some hidden chess pieces responsible for fanning the flames, just waiting for you to take action to drive them away and then make a big fuss about it.”

Yang Kai glanced at him and chuckled. Wu Jie’s words hit the nail on the head for him.

“Holy Lord, how should we handle this matter？” Xu Hui asked for instructions. As it seems now, although the situation is not yet dire, if we wait any longer, I’m afraid more martial artists will be deceived and gather outside the Holy Land.

This sign must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

But the Nine Heavens Holy Land has just shown signs of stable development. If it really conflicts with too many powers, it will definitely have an impact on the future.

Especially now that Yang Kai has not fully grown up yet.

“What does the Great Elder think？” Yang Kai looked at him, wanting to seek his opinion.

Xu Hui said respectfully, “This subordinate feels that we should tell the truth of the matter to those martial artists who have been deceived here and let them retreat on their own. Originally, the secret treasures scattered outside are non-existent things. If there were really such things, wouldn’t our Holy Land pick them up? If they can’t find them, they will gradually leave. Moreover, thoseDemon races have already retreated to the Beast Sea Jungle. If they really have the courage to hunt and kill demons, they can go to the Monster Territory by themselves. There is no need to linger outside our Holy Land… As for those martial artists who come to clean up the magic people we can flatly deny the existence of Li Daren and the others. Anyway, no one can enter the Nine Peaks to investigate. The people of Li Daren’s clan are all honest and law-abiding, and even more will not go out. After this storm passes, it should be fine.”

Yang Kai could see that Xu Hui didn’t really want to make a big fuss about this matter.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, “Then let’s do as the Great Elder said for now. You take some people and drive away those martial artists wandering outside the Holy Land. However… we can’t be so easy-going either. If we are too easy-going, they will think that the Holy Land is too weak. Well, we have to let them know what the consequences will be if they don’t listen！ After all, if they trespass into the territory of our Holy Land, we can take action and kill them without asking the reason！”

The Holy Lord is right！” Xu Hui nodded repeatedly.

In the past, if these people dared to wander outside the Holy Land at will, Xu Hui would have already driven them away. How could he bother to talk nonsense with them？ Those who didn’t obey would be directly killed. But now the Holy Land is not what it used to be, and he is also doing things carefully, no longer as brave as before.

“Well, give them a three-day deadline to evacuate within a hundred miles of the Holy Land. Those who dare to stay after the deadline must be the ones who want to stir up trouble. For such people, just kill them directly！” Yang Kai ordered.

“Yes, this subordinate will go and handle it now！” Xu Hui said and immediately took his leave, and by the way, took away the two martial artists brought by Wu Jie.

Li Rong’s beautiful eyes shone with brilliant light, staring at Yang Kai, a smile on her lips.

She suddenly discovered that after not seeing each other for several years, Yang Kai was becoming more and more like a leader.

When he was caught by Senior Coffin Slave and brought to the Demon Ancient Castle back then, he was just a cautious young man, but now, he was able to make appropriate decisions based on the situation.

This was what Li Rong hoped to see very much. She secretly felt that under his leadership, the Ancient Demon Clan would surely obtain the future they desired.

“Holy Master, then Wu will take his leave as well. There are still many things to deal with in the sect. If Holy Master is free, you are welcome to visit the Netherworld Sect at any time！” Wu Jie apologized and was about to leave.

“Wu Sect Master, don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Yang Kai stood up.

“Holy Master, what else is there？” Wu Jie asked suspiciously.

“I want to go and take a look at the Broken Mystery Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace. Wu Sect Master, lead the way for me.”

“Willing to serve！” Wu Jie smiled slightly.

“Li Rong, come with me,” Yang Kai turned around and called out.

“Yes.” Li Rong nodded gently and stepped forward.

Walking out of the hall, the three of them turned into a rainbow light and left the Jiutian Holy Land as fast as lightning.

There were originally four forces located nearby, but now, only the Jiutian Holy Land and the Nether Sect are left.

The four forces are not too far apart from each other, only one or two hundred miles apart.

This distance is not too far for Yang Kai now, and it won’t take long to arrive. What’s more, it is Li Rong who is now operating the true essence and taking him to fly.

Just a moment later, the three of them came to the sky above a building complex in the mountains.

“This is the Battle Soul Hall. Among our three forces, it is the closest to the Jiutian Holy Land. On weekdays, it has also benefited a lot from the Nine Peaks. Unfortunately, Cao Guan is short-sighted and has ruined such a foundation in vain.” Wu Jie pointed and said.

Yang Kai nodded and concentrated on looking down. Below The buildings were arranged in a staggered manner like chess pieces. Many buildings had collapsed, and in some places, bright red blood could still be seen.

It should be that Wu Jie caused some incident when he gathered the disciples of the Battle Soul Hall some time ago.
