The fear of cultivating immortals comes from insufficient firepower

However, what Li Xiaofan didn't know was that what he was worried about was indeed happening.

At this moment, in a dungeon on the main peak of Yunmeng Mountain, three shopkeepers were tied to pillars.

The three of them are all middle-aged, and the one with the highest cultivation level is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. They are all scarred at this time, and blood is constantly dripping from the corners of their mouths.

In front of the three people, an old man was sitting and drinking tea, and there was a middle-aged man who was shirtless.

The big man held various torture instruments in his hands and had been torturing the three of them all day long.

But the three people were very tight-lipped. No matter what the big man asked, the three people said they didn't know, and they didn't understand why the other party wanted to arrest them.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the big man had no choice but to walk to the old man's side.

"Mr. Ye, these three guys are very tough and won't say anything."

Hearing this, the old man Ye Deng sneered, and then walked up to one of the most seriously injured middle-aged men.

"Shopkeeper Kang, are you really not afraid of death?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Kang showed a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Elder, I really don't know what you are talking about? This junior has been running the branch conscientiously, and I really haven't done anything extraordinary!"

In this regard, the old man Ye Deng did not talk nonsense to the other party and directly took out a ledger.

"Shopkeeper Kang, this is your store's account book. You have been running the store in Shuangshui City since twenty years ago."

"Just over a year ago, the spiritual stones you paid to the headquarters every year were almost a fixed number."

"But a year ago, the spiritual stones you paid to the headquarters began to decrease."

"In the past six months, you haven't paid a single spiritual stone to the headquarters. What's going on?"

In response, Shopkeeper Kang rolled his eyes, still with a wronged look on his face.

"Mr. Ye, you can't blame me. Business is not good. My store has been losing money during this period. I really haven't made any money..."

As a result, as soon as he said the words, he was slapped hard by Mr. Ye.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and several of Shopkeeper Kang's teeth flew out.

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know how to check accounts?"

"In the past six months, the business of your store has remained the same as in previous years. Although you have tampered with the account books, I have already found out."

"Since this period of time, you have secretly sent most of the spiritual stones you earned to the headquarters."

"It's just that you didn't send it to the warehouse at the headquarters, but handed it to someone, right?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Kang's expression changed. He didn't know whether the other party had really found out or was trying to deceive him.

But Ye Den no longer looked at him, but looked at the two people next to him.

"And you, at almost the same time, started transferring the wealth of the branch to others. Don't think that I can't find out."

"The person who collects your money is Tu Bu Lian and Tu Wu Hua, right?"

Seeing that Ye Deng really knew, the three of them were speechless for a moment, but still did not admit it.

Ye Deng's eyes turned cold when he saw the three of them acting like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water.

"Huh, don't say yes, okay!"

"I don't know why you would rather die than tell the reason, but I don't believe you can watch them die."

After speaking, Ye Deng waved his hand to the big man behind him: "Bring those people here."

Along with the words, more than ten people were brought into this prison.

These people include men, women, and even many children.

As soon as they entered, there were women and children crying and looking at the three people who were tied up.

"Husband, what's going on?"

It turns out that these people are all relatives of the three shopkeepers, namely their Taoist companions and children.

The three of them did not expect that their wives and children would be arrested, and they looked at Ye Deng in panic for a moment.

"Elder, what are you doing? They don't know anything..."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Deng immediately looked at the other party.

"Oh, they don't know anything, so that means you know!"

"My patience is limited. I will give you five more breaths. If you don't tell me the cause and effect, I will let you watch them die tragically with your own eyes."

Seeing the frightened expressions on their children's faces, the three of them finally became scared.

Shopkeeper Kang finally compromised and said, "Elder, please let my family go. I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Seeing this, Ye Deng showed a smile.

"Okay, as long as you make it clear, I agree to your request, just say it!"

Shopkeeper Kang nodded: "That's what happened to you. Almost two years ago, Elder Tu Yinshan brought a young man named Lai Qiangren to my branch..."

"In the following time, Shopkeeper Kang told everything about how he was jointly controlled by Li Xiaofan and Tu Yinshan, and how he was planted with a magic control talisman."

It's just that the name Lai Qiangren was used by Li Xiaofan before he came to Xianbao Tower.

After arriving at Xianbao Tower, Li Xiaofan used the name Chu Liuxiang again.

Therefore, Elder Ye Deng was not sure for a while whether Lai Qiangren was Chu Liuxiang.

But it's not difficult to know this. All you have to do is catch Tu Yinshan and ask him.

"Oh, you said that your souls have been planted with talismans. What kind of cultivation level does that young man have?"

Elder Kang thought about it for a moment: "It should be the middle stage of the Golden Core."

Ye Deng: "Is it just the middle stage of the golden elixir? Let me take a look."

After saying that, Ye Deng was about to probe his spiritual power into the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, this scene shocked Shopkeeper Kang.

"Elder, it won't work. That young man's magic control talisman is very powerful. As long as there is an outside force involved, he will notice it immediately."

"I'll be dead by then."

In the end, Ye Deng did curl his lips and said: "Hmph, how powerful can a talisman of a junior in the Golden Core Realm be? I am at the late stage of Nascent Soul, can't I still win it?"

After saying that, Ye Deng ignored it and directly probed his spiritual power into it.

It didn't take long, and as expected, several aura runes were found on Shopkeeper Kang's soul, which was still faintly glowing with blood.

With a slight frown, Ye Deng wanted to see what this talisman was and whether it was as powerful as Shopkeeper Kang said.

So with a little caution, I attached my spiritual consciousness to it, and even wanted to see if I could untie it.

But at the same time, Li Xiaofan, who was practicing in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.

He has already felt that someone wants to use mental power to unlock the control talisman he left on other people's souls.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaofan thought.

The next moment, Ye Deng, who was exploring the God-Controlling Talisman, frowned and felt a hint of danger keenly.

But when he was about to withdraw his mental power, it was already too late.

I saw the divine control talisman on Elder Kang's soul emitting a ray of light and then exploded into pieces.

When the blood spattered, Shopkeeper Kang didn't have time to scream, and his whole head was gone.

Even the soul completely disappeared.

His body softened and his hands dropped.

This scene directly frightened the other two elders, including their relatives.

Shopkeeper Kang’s family members began to cry heartbreakingly.

At the same time, Ye Deng also let out a slight groan, and his face became ugly.

Because just when the control talisman exploded, part of his consciousness was not recovered and was also affected.
