"Who wants to know from your mouth?"
Long Chen stood in front of him and used his hand to lift the man's head. Under Long Chen's control, the man could only look at him.
Bang.
Long Chen gave the man a heavy blow to the head. The man, who was already close to fainting, became even more dizzy. Although Long Chen's sea of swords didn't mainly attack him, it still seriously injured him. If he wasn't holding on, he would have already fallen to the ground.
In this state of dizziness, all the hatred gradually dissipated. At this time, a pair of misty eyes appeared above the man, looking at him. This pair of eyes was like a whirlpool, gradually swallowing the man's mind.
"Soul control successful."
This was the fourth level of the Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil. Long Chen hadn't used this move for a long time. In his life, he had fought many battles and killed most of his opponents directly. There was no need for him to control the soul. But in dealing with the Moon Devil Cave, because the Moon Devil Cave was too complicated, although Long Chen had a lot of information, he didn't know everything. For example, why did the people of this small town all disappear?
With the soul control successful, the next step was much easier. Long Chen prepared a lot of questions and asked them one by one. The man had already entered a state of being controlled by Long Chen. No matter what question Long Chen asked, he would basically answer all of them in detail.
This process lasted for half an hour.
The others quietly waited outside the door for Long Chen. They didn't dare to say anything. In the past, this was simply impossible. But now, Du Yishuang and the others were willing to do this. Long Chen's previous performance was really amazing. Now, he was even more mysterious. They didn't know what he was talking about. They roughly understood that Long Chen was interrogating the man. As for whether the man answered, they didn't know.
Even without Long Chen's permission, they did not dare to use their Spiritual Consciousness to check.
After an hour, Long Chen finally walked out. Everyone was trembling with fear as they looked at Long Chen's gloomy face. When they looked inside, they saw that the cultivator was no longer breathing.
"Long Chen, did you get anything?" Yao Bitong asked nervously.
There was a lot of information in Long Chen's mind, and he needed some time to sort it all out. From what the other party had said, he already knew where the people from the nearby towns and cities had gone. He also knew why the other party knew why they had appeared.
Ye Zheng and the others had arrived earlier than the others. Over the past few days, they had clashed with the people from the Moon Fiend Cave. In fact, the number of people from the Moon Fiend Cave was much higher than what they had received.
It was useless to tell Yao Bitong about these things. Long Chen had his own plans.
At the same time, the map of the interior of the Moon Fiend Cave was already clear in Long Chen's mind. Through Soul Control, Long Chen had a rough idea of how to get to the Moon Fiend Cave.
Now, everyone was looking at Long Chen, waiting for Long Chen's decision.
Long Chen was a little angry. He had learned about this from the martial artist from the Moon Fiend Cave. Because this martial artist was not part of the upper echelons, he did not know much.
Generally speaking, the upper echelons of the Moon Fiend Cave had a mystical treasure. They called it the Moonlight Treasure Box. As long as the Moonlight Treasure Box was placed under the moonlight of the full moon and the souls of 999 people were sacrificed, the Moonlight Treasure Box would open. After opening the Moonlight Treasure Box, a pattern would appear in the sky. The martial artists of the Moon Fiend Cave called it the Purple Demon Moon Pattern.
This Purple Demon Moon Pattern was very strange. It was filled with the mysteries of martial arts. It was said that in the Purple Demon Moon, there was a martial artist who practiced martial arts. When the Purple Demon Moon Pattern appeared, everyone who practiced martial arts would advance by leaps and bounds. Their cultivation speed would far exceed that of ordinary people.
The reason why the people of this small city had disappeared was because the next full moon was coming. In the surroundings of the Moon Fiend Cave, within a very long distance, those who could escape had already escaped or had been captured. The remaining people were all people who loved their homes, so they suffered a calamity.
The Moon Fiend Cave had obtained this Moonlight Treasure Box for a very long time. It had been at least ten years. Every month, almost a thousand people would die. In these ten years, the number of people that the Moon Fiend Cave had slaughtered could be imagined.
This was probably the secret of the Moon Fiend Cave that could not be divulged.
The Moonlight Treasure Box was the key to their strength. It was an extremely mysterious item. Even their three leaders did not know the true name of this treasure.
Therefore, regardless of whether this was a mission from the Evil Dragon Palace, since Long Chen knew about it, he felt a responsibility in his heart. There was no need for the Moon Fiend Cave to exist. Every time the Moonlight Treasure Box opened, it required the souls of thousands of people to be sacrificed. This was not a good thing.
This time, because the next full moon was about to arrive, the Moon Devil Cave had entered a completely sealed state. The arrival of the True Martial Emperor Palace's members had broken the peace. Hence, a portion of the True Martial Emperor Palace's members were sent to deal with the True Martial Emperor Palace's members while the rest entered the sealed Moon Devil Cave.
The Moon Fiend Cave was huge. The cultivators inside had managed it for over a hundred years. They had already made full use of this complicated terrain. If it was an outsider, no matter how strong, they would not be able to find them inside.
Long Chen understood that one of the three leaders was a genius mechanism maker. He had been interested in studying mechanisms since he was young. The Moon Fiend Cave was filled with his creations. From the cultivator's words, Long Chen could hear the deep reverence he had for this genius mechanism maker. There were definitely countless dangers waiting for Long Chen's group inside the Moon Fiend Cave.
However, no matter what, Long Chen still had to enter the Moon Fiend Cave.
"Long Chen … Big Brother, what should we do now?"
Now that they saw that Long Chen was silent, they didn't dare to disturb him. Only when they couldn't bear it any longer did one of them ask cautiously.
If it was just one person, Long Chen wouldn't hesitate to enter the Moon Fiend Cave. However, there were so many people. Leading this group of idiots wasn't easy. Therefore, he needed to consider many things.
Just as Long Chen didn't know what to do, another group of people barged into his perception range. It seemed that Yao Bitong and the others had also discovered them. Their expressions changed as they said, "It's Ye Zheng, Wu Yang, and Wu Yue …"
They had come first, causing Long Chen's group to be ambushed. Now, they had reappeared. Although Long Chen was strong, Yao Bitong, Du Yishuang, and the others didn't believe that Long Chen could be the Evil Dragon Palace's top disciple, Ye Zheng. Moreover, Long Chen didn't care about them at all. Therefore, when Ye Zheng's group appeared, they shifted their attention to them. After all, they didn't know where Jiang Qing was at this time.
Ye Zheng's group quickly arrived in front of everyone. Among them, Wu Yang and Wu Yue were leading. Ye Zheng was like a ghost of slaughter, hiding among them. This was the person that Long Chen was truly afraid of.
When they arrived, they saw the corpses on the ground. Wu Yang was startled. He didn't understand. In his impression, Yao Bitong and the others couldn't do this. Not a single person in their group was safe, but the Moon Fiend Cave's group was completely annihilated. This clearly wasn't their doing. Most importantly, everyone died in the same way. There was a sword wound on the forehead. This meant that everyone was killed by the same person. Moreover, it was a sword cultivator.
If it wasn't for Ye Zheng being beside him, he would have thought that it was Ye Zheng who did it.
"Who did it?" Wu Yang asked as he looked around.
Everyone silently looked at each other, then shifted their gaze to Long Chen. Before Ye Zheng's group arrived, they were afraid of Long Chen. But now, Ye Zheng, who was even more terrifying, was the leader.
Everyone's gaze had already told Wu Yang that everything was done by Long Chen.
Since Jiang Qing was not present, it was the perfect time for enemies to meet each other. Standing next to him, Zheng Dongyang's eyes were filled with a cruel grin as he quickly said to Wu Yang, "Third Senior Brother, Hall Master Jiang is not here. This is a great opportunity..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Hall Master Jiang must be nearby."
Wu Yue stopped him in time. Although they didn't like Jiang Qing, they had to admit that Jiang Qing had cultivated for thousands of years. Just like the Evil Dragon Palace Master, he was one of the old foxes. Their strength had been stagnant a thousand years ago, and they were stuck at their current realm. After so many years of tempering, they were definitely extraordinary. It wasn't something that Ye Zheng could deal with.
It was clearly unwise to make a move against Long Chen at this time.
"We'll see."
Wu Yang waved his hand, signaling Zheng Dongyang to shut his mouth. From Liu Qingfeng, he knew that Long Chen was protected by Martial Addict and Drunkard. This time, the supervisor was Drunkard Han Yunxing. If Jiang Qing was very mysterious, then Drunkard was even more mysterious. He had never shown himself from start to finish.
Ye Zheng didn't say anything. He looked like he was in a trance. His grey eyes were devoid of any color. In this group, the siblings Wu Yang and Wu Yue were temporarily in charge.
"You killed these people." Wu Yang and the others gradually walked over. The group of fifteen finally gathered together.
"Yes." Long Chen said indifferently.
To be honest, Long Chen didn't have any enmity towards Wu Yang and the others. However, if they had any malicious intent towards him, Long Chen wouldn't be polite. If he used his full strength, he would be able to kill everyone except Ye Zheng.
Aside from that, for the sake of the Moon Devil Cave, Long Chen was very willing to cooperate with them.
