Because Bai Yuntian and Long Qifeng arrived quickly enough, all members of the Church of the Myriad Gods were incapacitated immediately, without any chance to perform sacrifices or similar acts.
As for suicide, that's even more out of the question; in front of Bai Yuntian, even if they wanted to die, it would be difficult!
This secret realm's level is only Tier 4, meaning the highest combat power that can be used is Tier 5, but the limitation of Tier 5 strength was already enough for the two of them to exert themselves.
By the time Lu Chenxing and Yan Pingsha arrived at the secret realm with Xiao Zhi in their arms, the military personnel were already preparing to load people onto vehicles.
Upon seeing Liao Chen, Lu Chenxing couldn't help but click his tongue, "It's truly a case of 'there's a road to heaven, but you don't take it; there's no gate to hell, yet you barge right in'."
Liao Chen glanced at him but said nothing.
"Don't be silent, come on, tell me, how did you discover this secret realm?" Lu Chenxing handed Xiao Zhi to Yan Pingsha, then squatted down to look at the limp Liao Chen on the ground, asking with a smile.
Seeing that he didn't utter a single word, Lu Chenxing looked at the people around who hadn't been taken away yet and said with a smile, "I ask, you answer. Whoever answers quickly might even earn merit and have their sentence reduced. Are you willing?"
The people around did not speak, but their eyes began to flicker.
Seeing that Lu Chenxing seemed about to begin the interrogation, Yan Pingsha, fearing that the child might hear unpleasant things, turned and left with Xiao Zhi in her arms to find Bai Yuntian.
"Oh? You're not willing, are you? Your guild master is incapacitated, the Church of the Myriad Gods' people are also incapacitated, yet I didn't expect your bones to be so hard, so loyal. If that's the case, then just wait to be sent to the battlefield." Lu Chenxing said as he stood up.
He was not exaggerating; colluding with the Church of the Myriad Gods, at the very least, meant the death penalty. If thrown onto the battlefield as cannon fodder or sent to a laboratory for human experimentation, it would be worse than death.
"Sir, you haven't... haven't even asked yet!" One of the shifty-looking fellows immediately responded, his fawning smile making people nauseous.
"It seems there are still sensible ones." Lu Chenxing nodded in satisfaction, "Tell me, what do you do?"
"I am..." Before the shifty-looking fellow could answer, Liao Chen spoke first, "He's in charge of investigating intelligence for me and occasionally doing some dirty work."
As soon as Liao Chen spoke, everyone around fell silent, then they understood what he was trying to do—he didn't want them to get a reduced sentence! Did he mean he was going to die and wanted to drag them down with him?!
So, all the people who realized this immediately raised their hands, scrambling to say, "Sir, choose me! I know a lot!"
"Bullshit! You're just a doorman, how dare you say you know a lot?! Sir, choose me! I definitely know more than him!"
Seeing everyone enthusiastically raising their hands, Lu Chenxing showed a gratified smile. Just as he was about to say something, Liao Chen directly stated, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask me. They definitely don't know as much as I do."
"But... even if you answer, you won't get a reduced sentence, you know." Lu Chenxing looked at him with a smile.
"Whatever, just ask." Liao Chen said with a cold face.
At this, the shifty-looking fellow beside him immediately panicked, "Hey! Liao Chen! What are you doing! You can't get your sentence reduced! Why aren't you giving us this chance!?"
Hearing this, Liao Chen gave him a cold glance, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of his mouth, "I'm not that generous, and you know, I hate seeing people who betray me live better than I do."
"You..."
"Alright, don't rush!" Lu Chenxing said kindly, "Since that's the case, let Liao Chen speak, and you all supervise. Whoever can point out his lies will qualify for a reduced sentence, how about that?"
Ultimately, under Lu Chenxing's supervision, Liao Chen revealed everything, and the people around him stared at their guild master with murderous intent.
"Ah, what a pity. In that case, I can't help you all then." Lu Chenxing patted his backside, turned, and walked away, only throwing out a single sentence: "Fend for yourselves, everyone."
Ignoring the people behind him, Lu Chenxing began to carefully ponder what Liao Chen had just said.
According to him, this secret realm should have connected with the Canglan World a long time ago, because he accidentally discovered the entrance to the secret realm in a mountain hollow outside Loshen City, which was about a year ago.
Currently, Scholars from both the scientific and mystical sides have developed detection instruments that can detect the appearance of secret realms, but this one was never discovered, so it's only possible that it existed before the instruments were created.
And when he first came in, the Dragon Bone was already here. At that time, he was still late Tier 4, and the Nufeng Guild had not yet reached a Level 4 medium-sized guild.
Later, he discovered the blood-colored spirit stones in the secret realm. After careful study, he found that these spirit stones contained extremely violent vital energy. He used this to break through to Tier 5.
The guild was also able to be promoted to a Level 4 medium-sized guild because of his Tier 5 combat power.
But at the same time, under the influence of the dragon blood, his temperament became increasingly arrogant and conceited, unable to tolerate others contradicting him.
At the same time, his physiological needs also surged, to the point where ordinary stimuli no longer affected him; he needed to engage in perverse acts!
In fact, in the later stages, he could no longer distinguish whether it was his inherent nature or if he was being influenced.
Lu Chenxing made no comment on this, because at this point, whether you were influenced or not no longer mattered.
He walked towards Bai Yuntian with the new information, reporting the situation to him while watching Yan Pingsha and Xiao Zhi digging in the dirt near the dragon corpse not far away.
Although Yan Pingsha's expression was a bit helpless, she didn't stop her, after all, playing in the dirt was no big deal.
Moreover, Xiao Zhi had a special constitution, so there was no concern about her getting sick.
Xiao Zhi dug in the dirt while looking back. When she saw Lu Chenxing looking at her, she smiled brightly and waved at him.
Seeing this, a doting smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Chenxing's face. He turned to Bai Yuntian and summarized, "In short, that's how it is. The rest is up to you."
"Alright, alright, go quickly and accompany your daughter!" Bai Yuntian smiled helplessly, waving his hand to dismiss him.
Seeing his intention exposed, Lu Chenxing was slightly embarrassed, but he still walked towards Xiao Zhi.
Watching the harmonious scene of Lu Chenxing and the two of them, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Bai Yuntian's eyes, followed by a faint sigh, seemingly with a touch of sadness.
After Lu Chenxing squatted down and dug in the dirt with Xiao Zhi for a while, he noticed that Xiao Zhi was always digging in one spot, so he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Zhi, are you digging for something?"
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhi mysteriously whispered into Lu Chenxing's ear, "Daddy, Xiao Zhi hears people talking down there!"
