Chapter 1900 A guilty conscience
As soon as Yan Xuemin finished speaking, a figure flashed and the flower scorpion appeared.
She nodded slightly, "Master Xuemin, please wait a moment, we are cleaning up the battlefield."
Yan Xuemin didn't care. The three real people came here because they had no choice but to emphasize the family's management rights.
Essentially speaking, they are here to take advantage of the popularity, so why should they care so much?
Seriously, he was a little curious, so he asked in a low voice, "Who is coming?"
Flower Scorpion raised his eyebrows and answered thoughtfully, "I think you should not ask."
Who are you looking down on? Yan Xuemin smiled and said, "The Yan family still has to ask about what needs to be asked."
Yan Erle also spoke up, "If it's convenient, I hope you can pass on some clues to the Yan family so that we can work together to maintain local security."
This requirement is not high, and the patriarch of the Yan family still knows his limits.
However, Hua Xiezi found his expression a little strange, "Yan Erle, the head of the Yan family?"
"That's right," Yan Erle nodded with a smile, "I often hear Uncle Xuemin mention Master Hua. I have really heard of him for a long time."
The flower scorpion raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, speaking in distress.
"We have captured seven Golden Cores and one Nascent Soul alive... We can't give you the Nascent Soul."
"Nascent Soul...True Immortal?" The three immortals were stunned.
They had guessed when they came that the opponent Hongyeling would encounter this time would be very powerful, and there might be true immortals involved.
But the battle was over in a short time, and the Yan family only believed that Hongyeling had repelled the attackers.
Such a record can not be considered bad. Who would have thought that the opponent not only captured seven golden elixirs, but also a Nascent Soul?
It is common sense that it is easy to defeat but difficult to kill, and it is even more difficult to capture alive.
Yan Erle had already known from Yan Xuemin that the clan's supreme leader had a very high opinion of Hongye Ridge.
He even speculated that this force should have more than one True Immortal, but they were just good at hiding their weaknesses - the snake was only a Golden Elixir not long ago.
But now, he felt that it was not a question of the number of True Immortals, but rather... what kind of powerful trump card did the other party have?
Could it be that the powerful existence who killed the tiger man’s Nascent Soul is currently hiding in Red Leaf Ridge?
The possibility of this speculation is extremely low, but it does exist in theory. Yan Jinhai, the Taishang of the Yan family, also fought against the tiger people in the past.
Yan Erle was thinking because of shock, while Yan Xuemin's ability to accept had long been trained by the other party.
He paused for a moment before speaking, "So... did anyone escape?"
"Maybe... there is a Nascent Soul more than 5,000 miles away?" Flower Scorpion hesitated and said, "I'm not sure if he is in the same group as them."
"But no one who attacks Red Leaf Ridge can escape."
This is total annihilation... and in such a short time, Yan Erle didn't know how to respond.
"This..." Yan Xuemin hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Where does this True Immortal come from?"
Flower Scorpion looked at him in surprise, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Yan Xuemin hesitated. If he called out the Golden Core's name directly, it would be sensed, and calling out the Nascent Soul's name directly would only make things worse.
But aren't you worried? He thought about it and replied with a smile, "I just asked where you came from."
"One of the six," Flower Scorpion didn't want to explain it so clearly, just give a hint.
Those prisoners were originally their battle records, and the team has not yet come to a conclusion on how to deal with the prisoners.
And judging from the appearance of the people from the Yan family, they don't want to take on too much responsibility - the key is that they can't afford it.
Well, it would be better for everyone if she was a little vague.
"Six... independent immortal cultivators," clan leader Yan Erle muttered softly, his face becoming increasingly serious.
Flower Scorpion thought for a moment and said, "Seven golden elixirs, if you want, we can give you one or two."
While Yan Xuemin was thinking, he saw the clan leader wink at him and then shook his head slightly.
He could only smile bitterly, "Thank you Master Hua, we... still don't want it."
"That's fine," Flower Scorpion said lightly, "We gave it to you, but you didn't want it."
Among those seven golden elixirs, at least five were captured in a confused state and had almost no idea what was happening.
With only two golden elixirs, it is possible that they could sense some of Hongye Ridge's strength, but it is impossible for them to sense all of it.
Precisely because it was impossible to reveal the team's strength, she would consider giving the Yan family one or two prisoners, otherwise she would not give any.
Now that the other party doesn't cherish me, just forget it.
However, Hua Xiezi's words were a bit too bland, and Yan Erle was a bit unhappy.
The head of the Yan family thought that the other party was a little disrespectful to the family, so he asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
"It depends on the situation," Flower Scorpion answered casually, "First we need to find out what happened. There is no grudge or hatred between us."
Yan Erle hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Is it possible to kill him?"
"Nothing is clear yet," Flower Scorpion looked at him in surprise, "Chief, do you have any suggestions?"
Yan Erle replied in a deep voice, "We want to share some information. Also, it doesn't matter if we kill one or two Jindan, but the Zhenxian..."
He thought that this was a very sincere suggestion and that he had tacitly agreed that the other party could kill Jindan.
But a hint of displeasure flashed across Flower Scorpion's eyes. You haven't done anything, yet you want to have opinions on the handling of prisoners?
However, the team has already set the tone of paying attention to word of mouth, so there is no need for her to confront the other party.
So she nodded and said, "Information can be shared moderately, but as for life or death...it depends on their luck."
This is... the possibility of killing a True Immortal? Yan Erle could become the head of a clan, so he must not have any intellectual defects.
He could even sense that Kun Xiu, standing opposite him, looked down on him.
So he didn't want to say too much, but nodded and looked at Yan Xuemin, "Uncle Xuemin, the rest is up to you."
Then he flashed away like lightning, not even bothering to say goodbye.
From the perspective of etiquette, it is somewhat lacking, but if we regard it as free and easy, it can be explained.
Yan Xuemin smiled and said, "The clan is empty, the clan leader is in a hurry to go back and make arrangements, Master Hua, please don't mind."
"How could that be?" Flower Scorpion shook his head slightly, "But the interrogation is still ongoing. I'd like to trouble you two to wait for a moment."
The interrogation lasted until dawn before some clues were revealed.
After all, Qu Jianlei and the others did not want to break the rules of Dongsheng Continent, so they did not conduct a soul search on the golden elixir.
After swallowing a golden elixir, I realized that my fate is not determined by God. The difference between the golden elixir and the foundation building is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
However, these Jindan also knew that the other party might not dare to do anything, so they were not very cooperative.
——If you have any questions in Hongyeling, you can go and ask the True Immortal directly. We are just small people and don’t know that much.
Until the end, Qu Jianlei raised his hand and pointed, "This golden elixir, search its soul, he is the one who caused this incident."
Upon hearing this, the Jindan immediately panicked, "My Lords, this is really none of my business. The True Immortal can testify to this."
It was impossible for a Zhenxian to testify for him, he just said that. The most important thing was that he wanted to divert the attention of the interrogator.
At this time, Taoist Jiao expressed his opinion, "In Wu Laoliu's memory, this person is the leader of the Five Golden Pills."
Lao Liu was ambushed by five Jindan a while ago, and he was particularly impressed by the aura of the attackers.
Wu Laoliu was not qualified to participate in such things, and he was also anxious to return to the Spirit Gathering Array to continue recuperating.
However, Taoist Jiao is very closely connected with his soul, and a lot of information can be extracted without any obstacles.
When this Jindan heard about Wu Laoliu, his expression changed slightly, "Wait, I told you, gentlemen, give me a chance."
"You want to say something, but we don't want to listen," Yuanyuan stretched out her hand and grabbed the man.
She is only 1.4 meters tall, while this Jindan man is nearly 2 meters tall.
But even so, she still carried the other person easily. This scene... was a bit incongruous.
She looked disdainful and said, "I've given you the chance, but... you're useless!"
Soon, a large amount of information obtained from the soul search was transmitted over.
What surprised everyone was that this golden elixir named Ji Yang was actually brought from Yinjiabao.
The feud between Yinjiabao and Hongyeling had long been resolved, but the Yin family had always been worried and would visit from time to time.
Hongyeling was actually not very interested in their visit - even Wu Laoliu thought so, let alone others?
However, the people of the Yin family couldn't help but feel a little confused: Did Hongye Ling really reveal the truth?
If the truth had really been revealed, why would he be so cold to the Yin family?
In fact, everyone around knows that Hongyeling is basically indifferent to any force, and the Yin family themselves are also aware of this.
However, when analyzing others, they can do so very clearly, but when it comes to their own family, they cannot remain calm.
Perhaps it was because the doctor was not good at treating himself. Yinjiabao believed that he treated Hongyeling with the most respect, but he did not receive any feedback that was unusual.
Anyway, they just felt uneasy. After all, they had plotted against the other party before, but had not received any punishment.
A while ago, news spread that Hongyeling had obtained "ancient heritage", and many people inquired about it through various channels.
The normal reaction of a person should be to stay out of it and pretend it’s none of their business - why should ordinary people get involved in a collision of giants?
Yinjiabao is adjacent to Hongyeling, so it knows its power better and should understand the principle of keeping a low profile.
In the beginning, the Yin family did try hard to avoid similar issues, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.
However, when they found that the enthusiasm was getting lower and lower and it seemed that they could no longer sustain it, they finally gave in.
On the surface, they thought the heat was over and it was okay to talk about it.
But if we analyze it in depth, most people would think that the heat has passed, so isn't it even more wrong to talk about it?
The Yin family just didn't dare to say it, not that they didn't want to say it. They subconsciously thought that Hongye Ridge was a potential threat!
This Jindan named Ji Yang happened to meet the Yin family outside. He asked a few questions casually and got a lot of information.
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, "Is it really because I have a guilty conscience? Is it wrong to treat them normally?"
"So, boss, you should stop being so stubborn," Jing Yuexin said at the right time.
