Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 726, Section 725: Capture and Interrogation!
Looking at the same thing from different perspectives will yield different results.

This statement couldn't be more fitting for the present moment.

The goal is to save the lives of these people.

We must still annihilate this demon king here.

pick one of two.

This is the predicament that Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye currently faces.

Of course, in reality, if the entire Masked Group were here, the Demon King would have no ability to resist. This is because the Masked Group not only has Aoki Yuen, a cultivator who controls qi channels, but also Deng Qiyue, a support controller who can petrify opponents, plus Wang Quanzui, who can hypnotize. With these three layers of control, the Southern Demon King would not even have a chance to kill these villagers. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in reality.

Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye is a typical output-type cultivator.

It's considered to have full attack power.

Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai are two cultivators who can be both support and damage dealers. They possess certain means of dealing with enemies, and with the addition of certain damage-increasing effects, they have a rather unique role.

As for Yang Yitan, Zhang Zheng, Mu Shenqi, and others who did not come, their reasons were different.

Yang Yitan leans towards support roles.

Zhang Zheng tends to rely on sacrificing his own health for damage output.

Mu Shenqi is a typical tank.

In short, the combination of Wang Quanba, Li Quzhuo, and Li Zi is sufficient in terms of output. As long as they don't encounter Fan Yunfei at his peak, who inherited Long Jiu's power but didn't reincarnate and continue his destiny, and is at the level of a Great Demon Emperor, this combination can leave whenever they want.

As for the mongrel.

That is, Fan Yunfei.

It depends on his current situation.

The local dog's condition is quite unusual.

Fifty percent of the demonic power was used for reincarnation and continuing the predestined relationship.

Forty percent of his demonic power was used to protect his home.

With one-tenth of his demonic power, he conquered the world.

However, even with only 10% of his demonic power, Fan Yunfei is still a standard Demon Emperor, at most with a time limit, just like Ultraman Tiga, whose limit is not far away once the red light flashes.

Therefore, fighting Fan Yunfei in different places and under different conditions is a completely different matter. If they were to fight Fan Yunfei outside the Western Regions with only 10% of his demonic power, Wang Quanba and the others would be fine as long as they could withstand Fan Yunfei's first wave of attacks. However, if they were to fight within the Western Regions, it would be uncertain whether Wang Quanba and the others could escape, because Fan Yunfei could draw upon 40% of his demonic power on his own territory, which would be equivalent to 50% of his demonic power. But if Fan Yunfei were in his full demonic power state, whether he was inside or outside the Western Regions, even if he ran to the Southern Kingdom, Huan Du Qingtian would be suppressed by him in an instant, and Wang Quanba and the others would have almost no chance of survival.

Even if Wang Quan Shouzhuo were to step in.

Even if they join forces with Dongfang Guyue.

They would also be easily killed by Fan Yunfei in this state.

In short, the imperial ambitions are now in a dilemma.

He could think of a way to control the demon king on the other side.

However, he does not currently meet the corresponding conditions.

However, Ye Qingcang did not have this concern.

After a brief moment of thought, he calmly gave a reply from afar, leaving everyone who heard it stunned, including the Southern Demon King who held multiple hostages: "You captured them, not me, so what right do you have to threaten me?"

The air became quiet for a moment.

Although everyone knows this is fallacy.

However, it must be said that this fallacy of logic is correct.

After all, even from a standpoint of opinion, these villagers were not really on the same side as Wang Quanba and his group. The two sides didn't even know each other before, so it was unreasonable to use these villagers to threaten Wang Quanba.

However, this demon king of the South was not stupid.

They were not deceived by Ye Qingcang's unbelievable logic.

He sneered and said bluntly, "They are your compatriots. I don't believe that you humans who value loyalty and righteousness would abandon your own compatriots. Moreover, as far as I know, your One Qi Dao Alliance seems to have a rule that you cannot kill humans at will. So, can I assume that you are using me to kill these humans in order to find an excuse to slay demons and monsters?"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Li Quzhuo cursed loudly.

After all, his temper wasn't exactly great to begin with.

Hearing this, he became even more furious.

Unfortunately, it was useless to the demon king of the South Kingdom. Instead, it intensified his excitement, causing him to laugh involuntarily, his voice filled with unspeakable smugness.

Unfortunately, this move was ineffective against Ye Qingcang.

Because Ye Qingcang is not a member of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance.

The greater good can threaten the power of kings and the pursuit of hegemony.

It could even threaten rogue cultivators like Ximen Chuisha.

But it poses no threat to Ye Qingcang, a human who does not belong to this world.

So Ye Qingcang's answer once again left the Southern Demon King speechless, and he vanished with a smile: "Don't flatter us, and don't think that we'll spare your life after you praise us a few times. Perhaps these villagers are indeed our compatriots, but they are definitely not my compatriots. Although they are human and I am human, our composition is different, and we cannot be generalized. In short, to be frank, I even hope you kill these villagers, because once you make a move, we will have a reason to completely kill you here. However, if you are unwilling to make a move, we don't mind doing it for you. Although I personally don't need such an excuse, if an excuse can avoid a lot of trouble, I won't mind using it. Now, please do as you wish?"

I'll let you go, you son of a bitch!
"Do you have any humanity left?"

"have a look!"

"Open your eyes wide and look!"

"They don't want to die!"

"They are innocent!"

This demon king of the South Kingdom has, unusually, broken down.

He casually pulled one of the poisoned, weak-kneed people out of the crowd and held him in front of him, pointing at the other person's face. He then shouted loudly at Ye Qingcang in the restaurant not far away, trying to incite the rest of the people to condemn him.

But the reality is, nobody's a fool.

If Wang Quanba and others give up resistance.

So, let's not even talk about those who have been arrested now.

Those who weren't arrested will also become prisoners.

Life and death are also in someone else's hands.

Therefore, those ordinary people who had their poison removed by Ye Qingcang's wide-range rejuvenation technique were all angry but dared not speak out, but this anger was only directed at this Southern Demon King.

It has nothing to do with the seemingly heartless Ye Qingcang.

To put it simply, this is like a classic trolley problem.

Was one person dead?
Or will ten thousand people die?

The most amazing thing is that there is no option to go off track.

Because the train was carrying 100,000 people.

If it derails and overturns.

The 100,000 people on the train will not survive either.

Therefore, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Given this, it's natural to sacrifice a small portion in exchange for the safety of the majority.

As for whether the small group of villagers who were sacrificed had any objections, they certainly did. However, on the one hand, they considered that their wives, children, and elderly parents were still below. If they died, these families could still live, but if they lived and Wang Quanba and the others compromised, these families might also die with them. Weighing the options, they decided that it was better for them to die. On the other hand, they were also severely poisoned by the Southern Demon King, their muscles and bones were weak, and they couldn't even open their mouths, let alone shout or curse. Therefore, for a time, a strange situation of shared hatred and indignation arose.

It is truly the result of the Southern Demon King's own actions.

However, Ye Qingcang remained unfazed by the Southern Demon King's rebuke. Instead, he said with interest, "Since you know they are innocent and don't want to die, why don't you respect their wishes and let them go? Instead, you resort to this overconfident method of threatening us, which is ultimately futile."

Having said that, Ye Qingcang didn't give the Southern Demon King a chance to answer the question. Instead, he added, "Because you want to live, because you can't bear to die, you can only pin your hopes on the mercy of this opponent. You're like a hissing kitten, pretending to be fierce even though you're terrified. Unfortunately, you don't have the endearing cuteness of a kitten, and you still can't see the situation clearly. Since that's the case, the only ending I've prepared for you is life imprisonment!"

Anyone can talk big.

The demon king of the South Kingdom sneered and retorted.

Although he didn't understand what "life imprisonment" meant.

Or perhaps it's another way of describing death that humans have researched. After all, humans use different adjectives for many things than demons, and this cultural difference still exists.

But no matter what, he cannot simply surrender.

"But what if this isn't just boasting?"

"Aren't you going to blow it up?"

Ye Qingcang's voice suddenly rang out from behind the Southern Demon King, making him understand the meaning of "cardiac arrest" in an instant. Unfortunately, he understood it too late.

The released demonic power instinctively and spontaneously forms a protective shield.

Then, Ye Qingcang delivered a chop to his neck.

It was chopped into pieces.

It's like cutting butter with a hot knife.

All the demonic power was shattered by this hand chop.

Then, it landed on the back of the demon king's neck.

He was knocked unconscious without any surprises.

Incidentally, all of the demon king's demonic power was sealed off.

"Utterly stupid."

"You really think I'd waste time talking nonsense with you?"

"My attention was completely focused on the conversation."

"They didn't even bother to observe their surroundings."

Ye Qingcang shook his head and commented helplessly.

Although he couldn't be sure if he had put too much pressure on the other person.

So much so that the other party dared not be distracted.

Or rather, what misconceptions did the other party have about me?

As a result, the other party thought he wouldn't make a move.

But regardless of the circumstances, it is a certainty that the opponent underestimated the enemy and was careless.

Calling it foolish wouldn't be an exaggeration.

As for saying he launched a sneak attack, that's not accurate either.

He had already made a declaration before taking action.

The opposing party was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Since the other party is not satisfied.

Then we'll have to see what they really have to do.

"However, on the other hand..."

"This is indeed a good chess piece."

"It makes it easy to stir up conflict."

Ye Qingcang casually cast a healing spell, restoring the poisoned and captured villagers to their original state. After all, there were more than one or a group of poisoned villagers. Because the Southern Demon King had previously released a wide-area poison, almost all the residents of the town had been poisoned. Although Ye Qingcang's healing spell was for the whole population, it couldn't withstand the poisoning of the villagers who had been temporarily taken hostage by the Demon King.

Therefore, we need to solve it again.

As for whether these villagers will be grateful to him.

unimportant!
His goal was never to save these villagers.

Instead, their primary objective was to capture the demon king of the Southern Kingdom alive.

In other words, during this process, he did what was in his best interest: to avoid deliberately causing casualties whenever possible. He didn't want to see bloodshed if it was avoidable, except for unavoidable casualties.

However, in the eyes of these rescued villagers...

This is a classic example of a feint attack.

To distract the demon king.

They launched a surprise attack and quickly captured the demon king.

The contrast between the two immediately made Wang Quanba and others, who were hesitant and indecisive, look much inferior. Not to mention Du Chihuo, Shitang, Ximen Chuisha and others, who couldn't even join the battle. In an instant, the difference in their abilities was clear. This is the nature of people, and also the laughable nature of humanity.

But Ye Qingcang himself knew what was going on.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang maintained his own pace.

He clapped his hands.

They planned to make trouble for this demon king.

However, it was stopped by Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye.

Wang Quanba had no malicious intent and it didn't involve stealing credit. Besides, Ye Qingcang wasn't originally a member of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, so it didn't involve any merit. He just wanted Ye Qingcang to do him a favor: "I wonder if you would allow us to interrogate him for a few minutes to confirm whether the recent mass disappearances of people on the southern border are related to him, or to other monsters?"

"of course can."

"Just leave him with a breath."

"The rest is up to you."

Ye Qingcang nodded.

Although Wang Quanba and his group did not have the same personal charisma as Wang Quan Wumu, they were not bad except for being a little arrogant. Whether they chose to be chivalrous or wore masks to avoid bullying others, it showed that they were not inherently bad. They could be called the future of humanity, even if the word "this world" had to be added before "the future of humanity".

Therefore, since the two sides had only had a misunderstanding rather than a feud, Ye Qingcang was very willing to give Wang Quanba Ye face. Moreover, Wang Quanba Ye's reason was also very good. Basic respect should be given to such a chivalrous person who cares about the common people, even though such people often cause big trouble because they lack basic reverence for the world.

However, Ye Qingcang's straightforward statement was truly unexpected by Wang Quanba, causing Wang Quanba to be slightly stunned before sheathing his sword, clasping his hands in a salute to express his gratitude and understanding.

Because the meeting between the two parties was not pleasant.

They even resorted to violence.

Now, this demon king is someone else's prey.

His shameless act of demanding such a reward was more than just being ridiculed; he was bound to arouse suspicion. After all, this was a demon king, not some minor demon. There were no more than a hundred such demon kings in the entire Southern Kingdom, making him a high-ranking official. Even if they could resist the temptation of such a reward, not everyone could.

The other party was so open and honest.

This makes them seem rather narrow-minded before.
