Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15892 Confirmed
"Sect Master, the interrogation has been conducted, and torture has been used, but those guys insist that they are from the Prajna Temple Domain. They even said that the Prajna Temple Domain is finished and has been occupied by someone else. Do you think we should conduct a soul search?"

An elder was reporting to Zhu Huoshan. After all, the Fire God Sect was a righteous sect, so they couldn't just start soul searching. Moreover, soul searching wasn't always reliable; it was very dangerous. A person's soul could be strong or weak. If the soul was strong, they might find more information, but if the soul was weak, they might not find anything and the soul would simply dissipate. Therefore, soul searching was usually a last resort.

Upon hearing what the elder said, Zhu Huoshan frowned and asked, "How many people did we arrest in total?"

"Seven, in response to the sect leader."

“Select two and search their souls directly. If what they say is true, then things will be very serious.” As he said this, Zhu Huoshan’s expression became extremely solemn.

Upon hearing Zhu Huoshan's words, the cultivator was taken aback, and then his expression changed. He looked at Zhu Huoshan and said, "Sect Master, do you think Zhuge Qingsong is lying to you?"

Zhu Huoshan said in a deep voice, "It's not impossible. Don't forget, when they first entered the Hell Gate Domain, they didn't contact us for more than ten days. If something really happened to them, it should have happened during that time. In any case, we must find out the truth about this." Zhu Huoshan was still very cautious. Most people might have just killed those people, but he didn't. He had been having them interrogated, and even now, he remained very careful.

The elder responded, then bowed to Zhu Huoshan before turning and leaving. After he left, Zhu Huoshan went to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and murmured, "I hope I'm just overthinking it." He was genuinely worried that something had happened. If it wasn't just overthinking, but something had actually happened, then things would be really difficult.

Zhu Huoshan waited there for a short while before hearing a series of hurried footsteps. The footsteps reached his door, and he immediately said, "Come in." The person responded and pushed open the door. This was the elder from before, whose face was now incredibly grim. He even forgot to bow and immediately said to Zhu Huoshan, "Sect Master, it's confirmed. Prajna Temple is indeed finished. They were from several different sects within Prajna Temple. They originally thought only their own sect had been attacked, but when they went to other sects, they learned that the other sects had also been attacked. That's why they retreated. In other words, all the sects in the entire Prajna Temple region were attacked; none were spared."

Zhu Huoshan stood there stunned for a long while before letting out a long breath and then said in a deep voice, "So that means Zhuge Qingsong and the others really betrayed us?"

The elder didn't speak, but nodded heavily. Zhu Huoshan turned to look out the window, then said in a deep voice, "Heal the remaining people. After they're healed, bring them to see me."

The elder responded, and Zhu Huoshan continued, "Don't spread this matter yet. Go."

The elder responded, then bowed to Zhu Huoshan before turning and leaving. After the elder left, Zhu Huoshan reached out and patted a bookshelf next to him, which instantly turned to ashes.

Cultivators heal injuries very quickly, especially superficial wounds. In less than two hours, those people from the Prajna Temple were brought to Zhu Huoshan's study.

When the group arrived at Zhu Huoshan's study, it had already been cleaned up. Zhu Huoshan was sitting there with a gloomy expression. As soon as they saw him, they bowed to him. Zhu Huoshan nodded and then said to them, "Are you all from the Prajna Temple Domain?"

The group all nodded, their faces still showing a hint of fear. Ever since they arrived at the Fire God Sect, they had been arrested, their cultivation sealed, and subjected to various forms of torture. They had suffered greatly these past few days. Although their physical wounds had healed, the psychological trauma from the torture had not dissipated, so they were all still somewhat afraid.

Zhu Huoshan then asked, "Who attacked you? Were they from Hellgate?"

Upon hearing Zhu Huoshan's words, the group shook their heads. Then one of them spoke up, "Sect Master Zhu, we don't know if those attacking us are from the Hell Gate. They are all dressed in red and led by several kingdom-level experts. There are many of them, and their attack is extremely fierce. Moreover, their attacks are very methodical, and their teamwork is excellent. To be honest, this is the first time we have encountered such an enemy. They are stronger than us in both numbers and strength. We really can't stop their attack."

The others all nodded in agreement, but Zhu Huoshan was taken aback when he heard them say that. He then frowned and said, "I wonder who they are? This is quite interesting. Did they attack all your sects at the same time, or did they attack each sect in batches?" The man quickly replied, "They attacked all our sects at the same time. We've calculated the timing; it was all at the same time."

"At the same time?" Zhu Huoshan frowned and said, "There must be more than a hundred sects, large and small, in your Prajna Temple Domain, right? They attacked all of your sects at the same time? How many kingdom-level experts did you send to your sects?"

“Our sect originally only had two kingdom-level experts, one of whom went with the army to attack the Gate of Hell. So our sect only had one kingdom-level expert in charge. But this time, they attacked us with three kingdom-level experts. Even our kingdom-level Grand Elder couldn’t escape.”

"The three of you? And you?"

"Our sect only has one Kingdom-level expert who went with the army to attack the Gates of Hell. Among those who came to attack us this time, there is only one Kingdom-level expert."

"Our sect is the same. Our sect has never had any kingdom-level experts to begin with, and none of those who came to attack us this time are kingdom-level experts either."

The situation was similar for the others, and upon hearing their words, Zhu Huoshan's expression completely changed. It seemed that the other party had indeed taken over the entire Prajna Temple Domain, which was indeed beyond their expectations. Zhu Huoshan pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, take them down to rest and treat them well." The elder of the Fire God Sect responded and led the others down.

After those people left, Zhu Huoshan took out the communication array and then a jade slip. He entered some content into the jade slip, but quickly deleted it. He entered some more content and deleted it again. After a while, Zhu Huoshan finally finished entering the content. Then, with a solemn expression, he placed the jade slip into the communication array and activated it. A flash of white light, and the jade slip disappeared. Zhu Huoshan stared intently at the communication array, wanting to see how long it would take for someone to reply to him.

Zhu Huoshan didn't say anything in the jade slip. The contents of the jade slip were very simple and ordinary. This was Zhu Huoshan's way of testing him, wanting to see how Zhuge Qingsong would respond.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a flash of white light appeared on the teleportation array, and a jade slip appeared on the array. Zhu Huoshan immediately took out the jade slip. After taking out the jade slip, he carefully looked at the contents of the jade slip. After seeing the contents of the jade slip, Zhu Huoshan's face couldn't help but darken, because the contents of the jade slip were very simple. Zhuge Qingsong told him that everything was going smoothly and that he didn't need to worry.

If it weren't for the incident involving those Prajna Temple monks, he wouldn't have had any doubts. But after the Prajna Temple monks' incident, he no longer dared to trust Zhuge Qingsong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huoshan immediately said, "Someone, please invite the Supreme Elders and the heads of each branch hall to the council hall for a meeting." A disciple outside the door immediately responded and went to inform them. Zhu Huoshan then took out two jade slips from the bookshelf before walking towards the council hall.

When he arrived at the council hall, several branch hall masters and several elders were already there. After everyone had arrived, Zhu Huoshan spoke up: "I called everyone here today because of what happened a few days ago. A few days ago, some cultivators claiming to be from the Prajna Temple Domain came here and were captured and tortured by us. You all know about this, right?"

Everyone nodded. Zhu Huoshan took out two jade slips and said to the group, "These are the results of the interrogation. Take a look." After saying that, he handed the two jade slips to a senior elder.

The elder took the two jade slips and scanned them with his spiritual power. His expression changed, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed the two jade slips to another elder, who sat there without saying a word. The elder also took the jade slips, glanced at them, and then let out a long sigh.

After everyone had finished reading the contents of the jade slip, Zhu Huoshan spoke up: "I have had two of those people searched by soul, and it has been confirmed that the information they provided is true. If the information they provided is true, then it proves one thing: Zhuge Qingsong and the others are either dead or have betrayed the sect."

Upon hearing this, the group's breath hitched slightly. This was the last thing they wanted to hear, but they also knew it was the most likely outcome. Zhu Huoshan then continued, "I just wrote to Zhuge Qingsong again. He said everything was going smoothly and told me not to worry. To be honest, I can't worry anymore. If everything Zhuge Qingsong said is a lie, if he's deceiving me, then we're actually in great danger. You saw it yourself; those people said that the attackers suddenly appeared in the sky above their sect, not flying in from the void. They just appeared out of nowhere. I think they used something like a teleportation array. After all, if Zhuge Qingsong and the others all surrendered, they could give the teleportation array coordinates of their respective sects to the enemy, and the enemy could be teleported directly to their sect. That's quite possible."
