Chapter 978: The Wife Who Has No Spiritual Roots in the Cultivation Novels
However, the pride in the voice of a certain Nascent Soul made the elders, who were over 200 years old on average, feel a little suffocated.
The main thing was that no one had expected that, they knew they were discussing Elder Zhao's affairs, and by the way, they took the involvement of the mortal girl as a breakthrough point, or just did it casually, but who knew that they would directly blow up this killer, and so bluntly claim the identity of a mortal girl in front of them.
The tone of voice contained a hint of "showing off", just like the feeling of some monks in the sect who like children but don't have any, who have been busy with each other for a hundred years and suddenly have a child.
It was simply showing off in everyone's faces.
But this contrast caught Shen Qingci off guard.
But before they could digest the meaning of Shen Qingci's words, Shen Qingci's next sentence made them feel cold all over.
"If the elders say something unpleasant and offend her one day, I'm afraid the sword in my hand will become disobedient.
After all, there are always some pedantic cultivators within the sect who praise immortal cultivators to the skies while disparaging ordinary people, forgetting that we are all transformed from ordinary people.
As Shen Qingci finished speaking, the Evil-Breaking Sword in his hand hummed softly, and the sword energy swept across the robes of several elders. Although no one was hurt, they instantly understood the threat in the other party's words.
Elder Zhao's end is right before his eyes, and in the heart of this killer, apart from his master, there is no difference between outsiders and Elder Zhao.
If they really messed with Shen Qingci's Taoist partner in the future, even if she was just an ordinary woman, I'm afraid this killer wouldn't even give them a chance to beg for mercy.
When the elders thought of this, and then thought of their own cultivation which still had room for improvement but was already not up to Shen Qingci's level, their faces instantly turned ugly. The thoughts that they had been muttering in their hearts before, "How can a genius be paired with a mortal woman", were now all scared away.
What's more, a white-haired elder directly echoed after coughing twice.
"Don't worry, Qingci. We will definitely remember this and will never let anyone in the sect be disrespectful to Miss Su."
The other elders also nodded, and there was even a hint of relief in their eyes when they looked at Elder Zhao.
As for how Shen Qingci fell in love with the mortal girl, it had nothing to do with them. They only needed to know that it was a blessing that the mortal girl was not a demon cultivator.
Seeing that they understood what was going on, the coldness in Shen Qingci's eyes immediately disappeared. With a flick of his finger, several image stones flew in front of the elders.
"Everyone, take a look at the face of this Elder Zhao."
The photo stone lit up, and the picture first showed the scene of Elder Zhao colluding with the evil cultivator, and then his ruthlessness when he ordered the hunt for "Miao Miao". He was completely different from his usual timid appearance.
But the scene changed, and it turned directly into the scene of the fist-sized Nascent Soul clone in front of him slowly torturing the other party with the Evil-Breaking Sword. He watched Elder Zhao go through the pain of broken bones and rebirth, wanting to die but unable to, and being fed the life-extending pill to keep him alive in despair.
Every scene that followed made the elders and even the sect leader feel their scalps tingle.
However, the only thing worth mentioning is that the face of the mortal girl Su Miaomiao in this picture is directly covered by a layer of faint spiritual power, so they can never see it clearly.
The elders now understood that Shen Qingci was protecting the mortal woman and did not want her appearance to be seen by too many people.
What a terrifying possessiveness this is.
A fat elder couldn't help but turn his face away when he saw Elder Zhao being tortured repeatedly.
"Qingci, although Elder Zhao deserves death, this kind of torture... isn't it too much?"
"Too much?"
Shen Qingci sneered, and his Nascent Soul clone walked to Elder Zhao, stepping lightly on his unhealed wound with his toes, obviously still not venting his anger.
"When he hunted down my Taoist partner, he didn't think it was 'excessive'.
I only hurt his body, not took his life.
But he wanted to kill my Taoist partner. If it weren't for me, my Taoist partner might have been the 33rd person.
By then, will Elder Liu still think it's 'too much'?"
Elder Liu was speechless when asked by Shen Qingci, mainly because he was captivated by the other party's eyes and could only lower his head in embarrassment.
“Qingci, since Elder Zhao’s guilt is proven, why don’t we bring him back to the sect and interrogate him in public? This will deter other people who have second thoughts.
As for your situation, your Nascent Soul clone has been out for a bit too long, and you have to be responsible for your own body."
Shen Qingci thought of the little girl who was still sleeping, and finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
He just glanced at Elder Zhao who was still wailing silently, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and a beam of white light shot into his body.
Just like that, Elder Zhao, who was originally screaming silently, fell silent in an instant. Only his eyeballs were still moving, and he looked at Shen Qingci with fear.
"You can take him away if you want, but you have to make him say everything he needs to say."
Shen Qingci's voice was as cold as ice, but it was not just for himself.
"How many spies does the demon clan have in Qingyun Sect? What are their contact methods? What are their plans for the near future?
If there is a secret, I don't mind letting you 'enjoy' it again."
Elder Zhao shuddered when he heard this and nodded quickly.
Shen Qingci then untied the restraints on his vocal cords, but his spiritual power was still restrained, forcing him to lie on the ground and reply.
"I... I'll tell you everything I know!"
Elder Zhao's voice trembled, but he wished he had another mouth so he could tell the other party everything he knew.
At this moment, let alone his daughter, he even wanted to sell out his ancestors.
"The demon clan still has three spies in Qingyun Sect. They are Deacon Li from the outer sect, Elder Wang from the alchemy room, and..."
Elder Zhao was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. When he looked up, he saw the other party about to hit him with a sword, so he immediately spoke the rest of the words clearly.
"And there's Deputy Head Zhang from the Discipline Hall!
We all communicate using black jade pendants, and exchange information outside the city every ten years!
Then, every ten years, we need to kill at least three disciples to ensure we haven't rebelled."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the sect leader and several elders changed suddenly.
They didn't expect that the demons' infiltration was so deep that they had even started a killing spree in their sect.
The most terrifying thing is that even the Discipline Hall has their people!
However, what this demon spy said cannot be fully trusted, and it needs to be tested to know whether it is true or not.
"Any more?"
Shen Qingci asked, putting a little more force on his toes, looking a little nonchalant.
"No... No more! That's all I know!"
Elder Zhao was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, his eyes filled with despair.
"Please stop torturing me, I've confessed everything!"
Shen Qingci nodded and looked at the sky. It was already nearly an hour later, and his little girl was already showing signs of waking up.
Too lazy to bother with any of that, Shen Qingci went straight to the point and used the soul-searching technique on Elder Zhao.
After struggling for a long time, he turned around and nodded to the sect leader.
"We can take him away. If those two are indeed there, the elders can try searching their souls."
