The skin of the person who was pressed flat still had clothes on, and a living person disappeared so quickly. The face of the skin still had the fear and horror of the moment before death, this terrifying scene immediately frightened the other two monks, their whole body trembling, lips turning purple, eyes full of terror.
Having cultivated to this realm, killing people is no longer a strange thing. Being able to successfully return from the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower already shows that they are not weak and easily bullied. But in an instant, they were sucked dry by a single word, and such ruthless means and iron-blooded style instantly crushed their mental defenses.
Qin Lingyun said coldly: "I'll ask one question, you answer immediately. If you want to deceive me, it won't take a few times, just once, and the outcome will be the same as this person."
The bloodthirsty lion beast let out a low growl, opened its mouth and showed off its sharp fangs. The two monks immediately nodded frantically, afraid that if they weren't careful, they would end up like the person from earlier.
Qin Lingyun nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your journey together?"
The same question, Qin Lingyun asked for the second time. The two of them looked at each other and were about to speak when Qin Lingyun suddenly said: "Little beast, take one of them away from here. I'll ask a question and then ask the second one. If there's any inconsistency in their answers, kill all of them."
The golden beast on Qin Lingyun's shoulder transformed into a golden light, and in the golden light, it turned into a majestic tiger with a powerful physique that exuded a sense of strength and beauty. Its large mouth grasped something and then quickly disappeared from sight, leaving no trace of where it had gone.
"It can be said now." Qin Lingyun refocused her gaze on the monk in front of her, with a deep and profound look in her eyes.
"Senior, if I say it, can you let me off?" The monk gritted his teeth and said.
"Tell the truth and I'll let you go." Qin Lingyun said slowly.
The monk's eyes revealed a struggling expression, he knew he had no way out, the spiritual power in his body was firmly locked up and couldn't be used at all. At this moment, his life and death were controlled by others. If he didn't tell the truth and his words didn't match those of another monk, he would definitely be killed. In order to completely match, there was only one way - to tell the truth. The monk finally spoke up: "We recently obtained a treasure map, which marks this location, so we came together to take a look."
"Where is the treasure map?" Qin Lingyun said.
The monk pointed at the storage bag of that monk who had turned into a piece of human skin: "In his storage bag."
Qin Lingyun's palm turned into a claw, and the five paths of cold ice spiritual power transformed into an icy claw, grabbing onto the storage bag before flying back to her palm. The entire action was smooth and swift. During this time, although Qin Lingyun had not advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, she had become more precise and fluent in controlling and using her spiritual power, and also gained a deeper understanding of the essence of strength.
Divine sense entered the storage bag, and was immediately attacked by the residual divine sense imprint of the deceased monk. Qin Lingyun, although only at the 12th layer of Qi Refining, had a divine sense equivalent to that of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and erasing this small amount of residual divine sense imprint was effortless.
With a sweep of his divine consciousness, he erased the remaining divine consciousness imprints as cleanly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Then, he inserted his divine consciousness into the storage bag.
"Tens of thousands of spirit stones, two mid-grade spirit artifacts, several bottles of Rejuvenation Pills, some talismans and a rolled-up leather map, it's also considered a small fortune."
Qin Lingyun took out the map from her storage bag, and the rolled-up map looked very ancient. It was unknown what material it was made of. Now that Xingdi was no longer asking questions, when encountering things she didn't know, she could only find the answers herself.
Open the leather map, inside there are many black lines that make up mountains, hills, lakes, rivers and other markings that are relatively clear. Near the position of the ocean, there is a small, black, turtle-snake shaped strange mark.
Qin Lingyun flew all the way from the sea, and this location was already very familiar. As soon as she made a slight comparison, she found that the location of this mark was exactly where that fishing village was.
Qin Lingyun quietly put away the cortex map and continued to ask a few questions, and the monk had been frightened so much that he told everything he knew one by one.
It turned out that these three people, on the one hand, came here to try their luck at treasure hunting, but they didn't have much hope. This kind of map was made at most only a hundred years ago, and if there really were treasures, it's unlikely they would be the ones to get them.
So their biggest reason is that they want to leave the Tianxuan realm from a secret teleportation array in another place, because they got several treasures inside the Huangji Fentian Tower. In the original long-distance teleportation array, it was occupied by several major sects, and cultivators like them who came from second-rate families and sects could not keep their treasures at all.
The long-distance transmission array in the Tianxuan realm had already laid down a heavenly net on that end, and several major sects had long compromised with each other, just waiting for them to appear, and then take their treasures under various pretexts.
"Keep an eye on him." Qin Lingyun instructed, then turned around and ran towards the direction of the Golden Little Beast.
Qin Lingyun sensed the location of the Golden Beast from a distance and walked over to take a look, unable to help but curve up the corners of her lips into a smile.
That monk was beaten into a pig's head, but he endured it and didn't dare to make a sound. The Golden Beast had an expression of triumph on his face, raised one tiger palm, and made a gesture to hit him. That monk was so scared that he knelt on the ground and trembled with fear.
"Does it hurt?" Qin Lingyun gazed at the monk with a pair of bright and gentle eyes.
The monk was so frightened that he stuttered and said, "Bu... Tong, Rao... Ming." His words were unclear because more than half of his teeth had been knocked out. The Golden Beast transformed into the Xiao Tian Jiao Tiger, whose strength was astonishingly great, and even if the monk had a thick skin, he couldn't withstand it.
"What? Not painful? Continue hitting" Qin Lingyun's smile was immediately retracted, and she became as cold as a block of ice.
The little golden beast immediately prepared to start fighting with relish, and found itself somewhat enchanted by this game.
The swelling eyes of the monk were filled with terror, and at this time Qin Lingyun's face showed a hint of a smile: "Just now your companion has already said everything, it's best to answer my questions honestly. If there is any discrepancy, let me first let this spiritual beast get 'close' to you, and then be sucked dry by another one of my spiritual beasts. You understand the taste?"
That monk nodded frantically, afraid that if he was a step slower, he would suffer again.
Qin Lingyun had previously sensed that this cultivator's bones were tougher than the previous one, so she transmitted a message to the Golden Beast, first dealing with him and tempering his character before speaking.
The monk, who had now thoroughly lost his nerve, told Qin Lingyu everything he knew without reservation.
To further verify that there was no difference in what the two said, Qin Lingyun took this cultivator to another one.
The monk plucked up his courage and said: "Senior, can you let us go now?"
"Suck our blood." Qin Lingyun said coldly.
The vampire lion beast that had been waiting on the side swiftly tore apart the body of the monk who had been beaten into a pig's head, and sucked his vital blood with its big mouth. Another monk shouted in terror: "You deceived people, you will be punished, you will definitely be devoured by the heart demon!"
"I spared you all, but my spiritual beast is unwilling to spare you, and this can't be blamed on me." Qin Lingyun's face was full of innocence.
That monk's eyes were full of resentment and hatred, coldly shouting: "I will haunt you even after I become a ghost."
Qin Lingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, my spiritual beast won't just absorb your blood and flesh essence, it will also absorb your primordial spirit. It has never been wasteful since it was young. Really, you have to believe me, even becoming a ghost is impossible for you."
Two monks turned into two human skins amidst the mournful howls, Qin Lingyun pointed past them, and the Yellow Spring Dragon Qi flew in the air, turning the human skin into fluttering ash, but their storage bags remained intact.
Since leaving the Huangji Fentian Tower, Qin Lingyun had secretly sworn in her heart that she would not let go of a single enemy. These three cultivators had been hiding in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of her after Qin Xiaoyun's sneak attack on her. This time, they were caught and their eyes occasionally revealed resentment, even if they hid well, Qin Lingyun detected it.
Let them go and they will surely bring danger to themselves later. It's best to nip the danger in the bud.
Qin Lingyun sprang into action and rushed towards the direction of the village, with her current abilities, she could move about freely without startling ordinary people.
Walking among those ordinary people, Qin Lingyun silently used her spiritual sense to explore, she didn't have any hope either, just before leaving this place and heading to the transmission array, she happened to investigate a bit.
After a careful search, she really found some strange places. Behind a house in the village, there was a stone tablet. As soon as her divine sense scanned it, she was bounced back immediately.
Qin Lingyun's figure flashed, and she arrived in front of the stone monument. As soon as she stood firm, a black light flew out from the leather map in her hand and quickly drilled into the stone monument.
Qin Lingyun took a look and found that the turtle-snake mark on the map had disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Then, she saw a big hand emitting golden light stretching out from the stone monument at lightning speed, grabbing her wrist and pulling it hard. Qin Lingyun felt her body floating towards the direction of the stone monument.
Qin Lingyun turned her head and saw that her body was still standing in its original position. She instantly understood the danger of the situation.
"My primordial spirit has been pulled out!" Qin Lingyun was shocked to the extreme, she was only at the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, and if her primordial spirit left her physical body for even a short while, it would dissipate into thin air. And this golden giant hand clearly didn't have good intentions.
Just as the crisis was about to erupt, a green light flashed like lightning onto the golden giant hand. The emerald jade hairpin that had not appeared for ages slowly floated out of her body and flew towards the stone monument.
