Before going to find Jian Wuyai, Jian Qing'er asked with some curiosity.

"Young Master Ye, weren't you interrogating that demoness from the Ascension Sect? Why are you going to find Sister Xian'er again?"

Just now, before he went to Ye Yun's residence to find her, he actually went to the interrogation room first.

As a result, apart from the strong smell of blood, they didn't see a single person there.

Keep in mind, this hasn't even been a day yet.

The interrogation was supposed to be conducted, but it ended up in Hong Xian'er's bed, which she found rather strange.

Ye Yun felt helpless and had no choice but to explain.

"My interrogation of her is over."

"Huh? It's over?"

Jian Qing'er was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked.

Where is she now?

When this matter was mentioned, Ye Yun sighed helplessly.

"This...she's dead."

"Dead?!"

Ye Yun's words left Jian Qing'er stunned.

"What on earth happened?"

Just half a day ago, the other person was still alive.

Could it be that Ye Yun's interrogation methods led to her demise?

Or is it for some other reason?

At this moment, Ye Yun shrugged and briefly recounted the results of the interrogation.

After listening, Jian Qing'er suddenly understood and nodded.

"I see……"

This result is consistent with her impression of the Ascension Sect.

To maintain secrecy, they actually devised such ruthless methods.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and explained.

"I suspect that Senior Sword contacted me to ask about this matter."

"Hmm... that should be it."

Jian Qing'er pondered for a moment before giving an affirmative answer.

This was confirmed shortly thereafter.

The two of them arrived at where Jian Wuyai was.

Ye Yun immediately bowed in respect.

"Senior Sword, you were looking for me?"

At this moment, Jian Wuyai was still sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Noticing Ye Yun approaching, she slowly opened her eyes and responded.

"Hmm, I'd like to ask you, how is the interrogation progressing?"

"If there is no breakthrough, you can hand it over to me."

In his view, it was the most convenient thing to do to forcibly search the soul himself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun scratched his head and said.

"The interrogation is progressing smoothly, except..."

Having no other choice, he had to repeat what he had just said to Jian Qing'er.

Upon learning the result, Jian Wuyai frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"The Wutong Mountains... I don't know, is it the one in Xizhou?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately perked up and asked curiously.

"Could it be that you, senior, know about the Wutong Mountain Range?"

In response, Jian Wuyai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"That's true, but I don't know if it's the one where the Ascension Sect is located."

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Please explain in more detail, senior."

Seeing his interest, Jian Wuyai then began to explain.

"The Wutong Mountain Range that I know of is located near Shengyang City in the Western Continent, and it is quite famous throughout the entire Western Continent."

"It contains a vast sea of ​​phoenix trees and is home to many mythical beasts. Most importantly, it is an ancient battlefield."

"It is said that the countless corpses of high-level cultivators nourished the vast sea of ​​phoenix trees, which is why it is so lush."

"Although the scenery is extremely beautiful, it is also fraught with danger. Many people who went in never came out again..."

According to Jian Wuyai, this sea of ​​phoenix trees was a treasure-hunting place for many cultivators from the Western Continent a long time ago.

However, due to resource depletion and increased danger, fewer and fewer people went there.

In recent years, rumors have circulated that there are more high-level mystical beasts there, and it has gradually become a forbidden zone in people's minds.

After listening to the description, Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

"If what you say is true, senior, then that place is indeed a good hiding place."

"Perfect as the headquarters of the Ascension Cult..."

Jian Wuyai nodded in agreement.

"If it really is there, it would indeed be secluded and safe."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"What are your plans? Should our Jian family send some people to investigate?"

Because of the Jian family's recent predicament, Jian Wuyai is extremely proactive in dealing with the Ascension Sect.

After all, it was thanks to Ye Yun's help that the crisis was averted.

Without it, the Jian family's situation would be quite dangerous.

Finally, Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior, to send someone to investigate."

"But you must be very careful to avoid alerting them."

Jian Wuyai smiled and nodded in response.

"Kid, don't worry about that."

He seemed quite confident.

This put Ye Yun's mind at ease a little.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your message, senior. You can just pass it on to our Ancient Holy Land when the time comes."

There's no need to be sneaky in this matter; just be open and aboveboard.

Jian Wuyai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, just wait for the good news."

Of course, according to Ye Yun's plan.

Just to be on the safe side, we should still do a little research on all the places on the mainland called Wutong Mountain Range.

Then, Jian Wuyai remembered something and asked with great interest.

"Hey, how did you do that?"

Ye Yun asked, puzzled.

"Who do you mean by 'senior'?"

At this moment, Jian Wuyai gazed at her and said with great interest.

"I know these cult members better than anyone; they all regard their faith as their life."

"Even if faced with severe torture or various forms of defilement, I would not care."

"You actually managed to get her to talk in less than a day?"

This really surprised him, and he was also a little curious, so he decided to ask this person for advice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun scratched his head and coughed lightly.

"Just a little...trick."

At this moment, Jian Qing'er, who was standing next to her, stuck out her tongue.

"What kind of underhanded tactics are these? They're clearly just force-feeding them drugs..."

Jian Qing'er, who already knew the methods involved, spoke on behalf of Ye Yun.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuyai's expression turned strange.

He glanced at Ye Yun and asked.

"Did you tell her this? Or did she see it with her own eyes?"

"Of course not."

Ye Yun immediately shook his head and explained.

"She was very curious at the time, and it was Xian'er who explained it to her after she left."

"I see……"

Jian Wuyai pondered for a moment, then his expression returned to normal.

"I never imagined such a method existed?"

Perhaps because he was too upright, he genuinely couldn't have come up with such an outrageous method.

So much so that people felt Ye Yun was a kind of righteous evil.

But after thinking for a moment, he nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that in the future, our sword family can learn from this and deal with any witches who refuse to confess their crimes."

Although it's a bit underhanded, as long as it works, it's a good method.

Jian Qing'er, however, curled her lip after hearing this.

"Father, isn't this method a bit too cruel?"

Perhaps because she was a woman, she felt an instinctive aversion to such methods.

It's fine if someone else uses it, but if I use it myself, it just feels a bit strange...

Jian Wuyai shook his head and smiled faintly.

"Such methods are truly too evil if used against good people."

"But if used to deal with evil people, to fight evil with evil, then it is an excellent method."

"You can't expect to reason with those who commit all sorts of evil deeds, can you?"

Taking this opportunity, Jian Wuyai gave Jian Qing'er a little lesson.

After listening, Jian Qing'er pondered for a moment, and seemed to think there was some truth to it, so she nodded.

"That seems true..."

She is not a foolish, overly kind person.

After all, just last time, I personally experienced what it felt like to be captured by evil cultivators.

At that moment, she didn't care about morality; all she wanted was to tear those who had captured her to pieces!

"It's good that you know."

Jian Wuyai smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to Ye Yun, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"Boy, if we really find out that the Ascension Sect's headquarters is in the Wutong Mountains, what do you plan to do?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and took a deep breath.

"That goes without saying, of course we'll gather our forces and wipe them out!"

The sooner it is removed, the more at ease people will feel.

Otherwise, the existence of such an evil cultivation force would inevitably leave people with a feeling of unease.

Jian Wuyai nodded in response and gave instructions.

"If you decide to take action, remember to inform me. Punishing the wicked and upholding justice is our duty, the Sword Clan!"

Having the sword family as an ally is undoubtedly a good thing for them.

Ye Yun clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, then nodded.

"Of course, I'll definitely inform you first!"

This has further strengthened the forces that are now dealing with the Ascension Sect.

Ultimately, it boils down to the saying that those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little.

The Ascension Sect is causing trouble all over the continent, and sooner or later it will incur the hatred of the entire continent.

At that time, no matter how strong the Ascension Sect is, it may not be able to withstand the tide of the times!

"By the way, senior, has this battle for the title of Alliance Leader officially ended?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuyai nodded.

"Good, it's over."

"Although there are some ceremonies later, they are all just formalities."

Due to the constraints of the alliance, ever since he won the battle for the alliance leader in the arena...

The position of leader of this alliance was already destined to be his; there was no other suspense.

Ye Yun nodded and then asked.

"What about the Chen family? Shouldn't you deal with them, senior?"

That's why I'm bringing this up now.

On one hand, there is concern about the Chen family joining forces with the Ascension Sect.

On the other hand, it was naturally a small act of revenge for being offended by the Chen family last time.

Upon hearing the name Chen family, Jian Wuyai's expression instantly darkened, showing his considerable anger.

He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"I have seen all the tricks the Chen family has used behind the scenes this time."

"We ignored them earlier because the battle for the alliance leader was not over yet."

"Now that the outcome is decided, they should pay the price for their actions!"

If the Chen family had been targeted beforehand, it would likely have been interpreted as him acting to seize the position of alliance leader.

At that point, it will be morally untenable and, in other respects, it will be difficult to stand up to scrutiny.

But now that I have defeated Fairy Yuxue in a head-on confrontation, if I were to settle scores with the Chen family, there would be much less opposition.

Furthermore, the other clans have also witnessed what happened to the Jian family.

Even if it's revenge against the Chen family, no one will say anything, and no one will dare to say anything...

After learning of Jian Wuyai's attitude, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good. The Chen family's collusion with the Ascension Sect is tantamount to courting death!"

"Indeed, he deserves to die."

Jian Wuyai also deeply agreed with this.

Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor before the alliance war; it was more of a restraint to ensure his own combat readiness.

But now that everything is over, there's no need to suppress my emotions anymore.

Then, he waved his hand and said.

"Alright, let's not talk about this annoying Chen family anymore."

Jian Wuyai pondered for a moment, then turned to Ye Yun and asked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I have some good news to ask for your opinion."

The smile on his face was incredibly genuine.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun was taken aback and asked curiously.

"Good news? What good news?"

His intuition told him that it probably wasn't a good thing.
