In the inner courtyard.
Lord Qi looked at Lin Yan with fear in his eyes. “No matter which one of the Ten Sacred Martial Venerates you are, you’re dead! The celestial beings are much stronger than you think! It’s impossible for you to succeed!”
“I don’t know what you’ve misunderstood, but 1 really just want to know about the celestial beings.”
Lin Yan reached out and picked him up. “Tell your men to surrender.”
Lord Qi’s neck was strangled, and his face turned red. “Put, put down your weapon!”
The old butler and the servants looked at each other and put down their clubs.
“Tie them up and keep an eye on them. Guo Rong, bring the children over.”
It was impossible to seal the news. Lin Yan never had the intention of sealing the news either. He just wanted to take the opportunity to understand what was going on with the celestial beings in this world.
Hence, he carried Duke Qi and led the carriage with a few children into the inner courtyard.
He placed Lord Qi on a chair.
“I have a lot of questions for you. You won’t refuse, will you?”
Fear and hatred flashed in Lord Qi’s eyes, but he didn’t retort. The most important thing now was to stall for time. When the matter blew up, there would naturally be powerful celestial beings to deal with him!
“Then 1’11 start asking…”
As Lin Yan raised questions one after another, Lord Qi’s expression became even more bewildered. The person in front of him… didn’t seem to know anything about celestial beings!
He was asking about the basic knowledge of celestial beings. The lower class naturally knew nothing about this, but it was not a secret among the upper class.
This person was not one of the Ten Sacred Martial Venerables!
Could it be that a new expert had appeared outside the royal capital?
But that was impossible!
High-quality promotion Unusual Items could only be provided by celestial beings. How could anyone other than the lackeys of the ten great clans, who were the celestial beings’ dogs, advance to such a powerful level?
Or could the stranger be… someone from the two other countries!
Lord Qi was completely confused.
Lin Yan learned a lot of things related to celestial beings from him.
According to his understanding, the celestial beings should be from another planet, where there was a sect called the Holy White Sect.
It was said that the founding ancestor of the Holy White Country was a registered disciple sent by this sect.
Currently, the ten great families of the Holy White Country were all subservient to the Holy White Sect. They relied on offerings to obtain the protection of the Holy White Sect.
Logically speaking, this planet was very barren. No disciple of the Holy White Sect should be willing to come.
However, this planet could produce a special product called “Alien Materials”. Although Lin Yan didn’t know what it was used for, the Holy White Sect would send disciples to collect Alien Materials every year. These disciples were celestial beings that the people of the Holy White Country had seen.
“The key is that these Alien Materials were actually the dehydrated deformed organs after a person dies?”
Wasn’t this like a large ranch?
The spiritual pollution environment of the entire planet was completely a natural ranch for herding humans and extracting Alien Materials.
These were secrets that Guo Rong and Yu An did not know. They were only known to the upper echelons of the empire.
As for the use of the Alien Material, Lord Qi did not know.
“What about the Flawless? The ones who aren’t deformed?”
“I don’t know their use is either.
“I only know that the celestial beings have been secretly collecting them.” “Then why is it that everyone treats them as freaks and kills them? Shouldn’t the people that celestial beings need be more precious and cherished?”
Lord Qi hesitated for a moment. “The celestial beings have never interfered with this.”
“Why?”
“No one knows, but… I have a guess.”
“Tell me about it.”
“This guess is based on the rumors all along.”
“If you’re still hemming and hawing, I can only use some methods.”
“No, no, no. I’ll tell you.”
Duke Qi gritted his teeth. “My guess is that those deformed people… or the Flawless you mentioned, have secrets!
“The celestial beings are worried that these secrets will be discovered by the world, so they have never interfered with the living environment of the flawless ones.”
Lin Yan nodded. “Then, through buyers and brokers like you, they secretly recruit and gather these flawless people? What exactly do celestial beings use them for?”
Duke Qi shook his head in a daze. “1 really don’t know about this. However, celestial beings place a lot of importance on these flawless beings, much more than people like us. They take care of each and every one of them meticulously.”
‘Take care of them?’
“This sounds more like… a deliberate act of kindness?”
A single sentence from the celestial beings could change the living status of flawless people, but it had never been done before.
However, they showed meticulous concern for the Flawless who were collected and shipped over?
At this moment, a commotion came from outside the door.
“Looks like someone’s coming.”
“Sir, it’s someone from the Public Security Bureau.”
Yu An’s face was ashen. He had completely lost his vitality.
Previously, when they killed the celestial beings on the streets and broke in Lord Qi’s residence, they didn’t do it secretly. It was normal for someone to report it to the Public Security Bureau.
Lin Yan suddenly asked, “How strong are the celestial beings?”
Lord Qi was stunned for a moment before answering honestly, “Every celestial being is a top-notch expert who has surpassed the Noble Realm and reached the Martial Venerable Realm!”
“Are there any celestial beings around now?”
“The World Expo is about to begin. The celestial beings also like to join in the fun. They have already arrived two days ago!”
“Understood.”
To surpass the Noble Realm and become a Martial Venerable meant the Treasure Realm, right?
It wasn’t Lin Yan’s first time facing a Treasure Realm cultivator, but before this, it had always been Zhao Pan and the Divine Generals. This time, it was a Treasure Realm cultivator from the starry sky. To be honest, he was still a little uncertain.
“Perhaps I can pull the tiger’s skin? If the situation is not right, 1 can just run away.”
Lin Yan was quite confident in the Black Tortoise Divine Armor’s mystical features.
A finger pointed at Lord Qi’s forehead, causing him to faint.
“Have you packed the corpses of the Celestial Being Special Affairs Bureau and transported them in?”
Yu An nodded dejectedly. “They’ve transported in. But this place is only so big. Even if we dig a hole and bury them right now, the Public Security Bureau will definitely discover them!”
“Don’t worry about that. Go out and stall for time.”
After chasing Yu An away, Lin Yan walked to the carriage filled with corpses.
He suddenly paused and turned around to look at the flawless children hiding in the corner.
“Turn around and count to 50!”
These children were sensible children who had been through hardships. When they heard this, they immediately turned to face the wall and counted loudly!
“One! Two!…”
“Forty-eight! Forty-nine! Fifty!”
They had already counted to fifty.
The children did not dare to turn their heads immediately. They looked at each other.
In the end, it was Guo Xiaomi who was the boldest and most familiar with Lin Yan. She secretly turned around to take a look.
In the courtyard, there was only a tall horse snorting. Beside the horse, Lin Yan was standing leisurely.
However, the carriages filled with corpses had all disappeared!
