From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family
Chapter 62 Forced Confession
Chapter 62 Forced Confession
This was not the first time that Du Yong had carried out similar tasks of searching and cleaning the battlefield.
Finding the corpse of an immortal or picking up a lost and broken magical weapon would be considered a merit.
The "Xiantian Pill" on his body was given to him by Jiang Ze when he found the immortal's corpse.
There were also several times when his men picked up things left behind by immortals. Each time, Jiang Ze simply and generously rewarded them with items such as Qi and Blood Pills, and never asked too many questions.
Therefore, Du Yong dared to covet the flying sword.
He didn't know that the flying sword was a mid-grade spiritual weapon that was very precious to even the Foundation Establishment Immortals, and he just thought of it as a magic weapon for ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivators.
"The war is over. This is my last chance to make a fortune. Immortal Jiang's reward, plus my military merits, and the immortal's magic weapon, I'll get them after I return..."
He was daydreaming in his heart as he returned to the camp with his soldiers.
At the entrance of the camp, he happened to meet Xu Xiaoniu.
----
Xu Xiaoniu hid in an abandoned mine in the distance for a few days. Only after learning that the war was over and the battlefield was being cleaned up did he return to the camp.
The task of these cool miners has been completed, and the spirit stone mine will not allow them to mine.
He waited for news of his return home.
"big cow!"
Xu Xiaoniu heard a familiar shout from a distance.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Du Yong and a group of people returning from outside the camp.
"Dayong, haha, let's go back together after this is over."
Xu Xiaoniu was overwhelmed with joy when he saw Du Yong return safely. Du Yong was fighting on the front lines, and he was really worried that Du Yong would not come back.
"Okay, let's go back to the village together. By the way, let me tell you something."
Du Yong approached Xu Xiaoniu and said in a low voice, "I'm going to do something important. If I don't come back, please go to the ancient tree where we first met and get something for me. Bring it home and leave it at..."
"Uh, okay."
Xu Xiaoniu nodded. He didn't understand Du Yong's intention.
What does "if he doesn't come back" mean?
What's worth hiding out there?
----
Du Yong was just adding an extra layer of "insurance" to his treasure to prevent the one in ten thousand possibility of it being discovered.
He walked back to the camp and ordered several soldiers under his command to carry Ruan Xiong's body to claim the credit.
In the commander's barracks built with rocks.
"Master Jiang, this is the enemy cultivator we discovered. After being discovered, he fought desperately. We lost dozens of our brothers' lives trying to capture him. We finally managed to kill him and bring him back."
Du Yong bowed his head and respectfully explained the situation to Jiang Ze.
When Jiang Ze saw the one-armed Ruan Xiong's body, he was very excited: "It's him, it's him, haha!"
They had been confronting the immortals of the Baiyue Immortal Dynasty for many years, and he had seen the enemy's famous Foundation Establishment Stage sword-controlling cultivator "Ruan Xiong".
"Where's his storage bag? Quick, give it to me!"
Jiang Ze said impatiently.
He is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, so what does being a foundation-building cultivator mean to him?
It means that one of his treasures may be more valuable than his life, and it means that he can have the hope of building a foundation!
"it's here."
Du Yong quickly picked up the storage bag with both hands. He had never seen the high-ranking Jiang Ze lose his composure like this.
Jiang Ze grabbed the storage bag almost snatchingly, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered it to explore.
"Ok?"
There were few items in Ruan Xiong's storage bag, including dozens of spirit stones, a few worthless talismans, and pills worth hundreds of spirit stones.
"That's it?"
Jiang Ze wondered why this great cultivator who had established his foundation was even poorer than him?
What he didn't know was that the most precious item for a sword-controlling cultivator was the flying sword, and Ruan Xiong had invested most of his spirit stones in the flying sword.
In the life-and-death battle with Yan Yijin, Ruan Xiong used several precious talismans and swallowed valuable pills, so there were not many treasures in his storage bag.
"Impossible!" Jiang Ze didn't want to believe it. He looked at Du Yong with burning eyes: "Did you hide it?"
This sentence scared Du Yong. When working under an immortal, the most feared thing was the word "secret possession".
"Master Jiang, you are wronged. I cannot open the storage bag, so how could I hide the treasure inside?"
Du Yong was telling the truth. He couldn't open the storage bag. What he had hidden was the flying sword outside the storage bag.
"..."
Jiang Ze was speechless for a moment because what Du Yong said made sense.
But he was unwilling to accept this. As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, he did not gain much benefit from this war.
The vast majority of the spirit stones in the spirit stone mines would be distributed to the great cultivators of the foundation-building stage, leaving only a few broken spirit crystals for the Qi-cultivating cultivators. They also didn't get a share of most of the spoils from the battlefield.
"No! There's nothing in the storage bag, but what about outside the storage bag? How could Ruan Xiong not have a spiritual weapon to protect him? If you tell the truth now, I will spare your life considering your great contributions."
Jiang Ze was just "bluffing" and he didn't know whether Du Yong had hidden the treasure.
Du Yong fell to his knees and said, "I'm innocent. I didn't take anything. If you don't believe me, send someone to search..."
Du Yong took off his armor. His acting and psychological qualities were excellent, and he looked like someone who had been wronged and was eager to prove himself.
"Tell the truth" or "I'll spare your life"?
Du Yong knew that if he told the truth, he would surely die.
"Somebody come!"
Jiang Ze called over two of his innate warriors and said, "Take your men and check all the soldiers under his command to see if there is anything suspicious."
Du Yong was stunned, his face pale. He was really afraid of what his men would say.
The more you are afraid of something, the more you become afraid of it.
After a while, a soldier under Du Yong was brought in.
The lowest-level soldier is not even a sergeant.
When the soldier saw Jiang Ze, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Immortal, I kowtow to you. I saw with my own eyes that Du Qianchang hid a half-foot-long gray dagger in his sleeve armor."
After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Jiang Ze's reward. He did not hesitate to betray the captain and get the immortal's reward.
"No, no, he is wronging me, he is wronging me! When did I ever offend you that you would destroy me like this, huh?!"
Du Yong screamed hysterically. He was scared and worried that he would die here.
A half-foot long, gray dagger.
After hearing his description, Jiang Ze had already guessed what it was. His shattered hope was rekindled. The spiritual weapon of a great foundation-building cultivator must be very valuable.
"Just say it, don't force me."
Jiang Ze's tone was cold, and the temperature in the barracks suddenly dropped.
"No~~"
Du Yong also tried to quibble.
Jiang Ze winked at his innate warrior, who immediately stepped forward, broke Du Yong's limbs, and tortured him terribly.
"Aren't you going to tell me yet? If you tell me, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."
"No~ I didn't~"
Du Yong was covered in blood and his breath was weak. He knew he was going to die. If he didn't tell anyone, he could leave a treasure for his family. But if he told anyone, everything would be gone.
But Jiang Ze suddenly came close to him and stared into his eyes: "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't know? Do you know the secret technique of soul-searching, refining your soul, and knowing your memory..."
Soul-searching secret technique? !
Du Yong's eyes widened in astonishment. His understanding of immortals was limited, and he had no idea they had such miraculous abilities.
This must not be known by the immortal, otherwise Xu Xiaoniu will be finished!
Du Yong, his limbs broken, suddenly raised his head and slammed it hard against the ground, using all his strength.
"slow…"
Jiang Ze looked at Du Yong, who had knocked him to death, with a gloomy expression. Soul search? He was only in the Qi training stage, how could he search the soul?
Only a great cultivator who has established his foundation and can project his spiritual consciousness outward can search the soul.
Sending Du Yong to a Foundation Establishment cultivator to search his soul? Would he still have a share of the spiritual weapon?
This is the reason why Jiang Ze tortured Du Yong here but did not take him to see Yan Yijin.
