Chapter 192 The Hidden Realm

"You...how could you...?"

Feng Changge's pupils contracted, first looking bewildered and confused, then filled with terror.

Xu Ning touched the wound she had just sustained.

The wound pierced by the lightning-attribute blade has now completely healed. Only the torn clothes and a few traces of blood prove that Xu Ning was indeed injured.

Xu Ning had already sensed Feng Changge's murderous intent earlier.

When he launched a sneak attack from behind, Xu Ning was already prepared.

When the lightning-attribute blade pierced through his chest, under Xu Ning's deliberate guidance and resistance, it did not cause him any elemental damage and avoided his heart, leaving only flesh wounds on his chest and back.

Xu Ning had already healed this minor injury in a short time by circulating the Flame Breath Bone Regeneration Meridian.

"Surprised?"

Xu Ning circulated his inner energy in his hands, wiped it on his face, and then returned to his original appearance.

"As expected of a martial artist from the Demonic Sect, ruthless and decisive. You even killed your deputy sect leader without hesitation."

Xu Ning also found Feng Changge's methods ruthless.

Feng Changge had clearly not noticed the problems with Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, but in order to protect the formula and refining method of the Demon Blood Pill, he still killed the two of them.

"Who are you?!"

Feng Changge felt a little dazed.

How did Xiang Nanchun's follower suddenly become a different person?

Xu Ning smiled but did not respond. Instead, he said, "Shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, this Demon Blood Pill would not have been successfully refined."

Feng Changge's brain was buzzing.

He quickly realized what was happening, and pointed a trembling finger at Xu Ning: "Did you tamper with the Demon Blood Pill?"

"Tampered with it?"

Xu Ning feigned a thoughtful expression: "Perhaps so. I only added some other ingredients to the Demon Blood Pill. This won't affect the pill's medicinal properties, it will just prolong the process of condensing the demon blood a bit..."

Previously, Xu Ning had repeatedly observed Xiang Nanchun's refining of the Demon Blood Pill, and after his failure, he reorganized the medicinal materials and observed the changes in their properties. With his extensive knowledge of pills, he had figured out the refining principle of the Demon Blood Pill, as well as its effects and processes.

After figuring everything out, Xu Ning added some mixed medicinal powder to it, based on his knowledge of elixirs.

The mixed powders are not toxic, but they can alter the mechanism by which the Demon Blood Pill works on the human body, slowing down the process of condensing demon blood.

Feng Changge only then realized that the young man in front of him was actually a powerful alchemist.

Moreover, according to him, it seems that the Demon Blood Pill was successfully refined because of his help.

"Are you really Xiang Nanchun's assistant alchemist?"

Feng Changge still wanted to find out the truth.

"Whether it is or not is meaningless."

Xu Ning walked step by step to Feng Changge: "All I want to know now is where the secret realm where you obtained the inheritance is."

Feng Changge was taken aback, then burst into wild laughter.

"So, all this scheming was to find out the secrets of this hidden realm?"

Feng Changge's face turned sinister: "But why would I tell you?"

At this moment, Feng Changge had come to terms with reality.

Now that his true energy and elemental power have all dissipated, he is no match for the person in front of him.

To survive, one must preserve one's value.

Once I reveal the secrets of that hidden realm, I will lose my value and will inevitably be eliminated.

"I advise you to speak up soon, otherwise you will suffer unnecessary pain."

Facing Feng Changge, whose hands were stained with countless lives, Xu Ning showed no mercy or pity.

"pain?"

Feng Changge chuckled and said, "I have roamed Jifeng Prefecture for decades. What haven't I experienced? Mere physical pain is nothing to me."

"You've forgotten, I'm an alchemist."

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes: "Do you know of a pill called the True Word Pill?"

"You want to use the Truth-Telling Pill to force me to reveal my secret?"

Feng Changge laughed loudly, completely unconcerned. As a demonic martial artist, he acted in an extremely extreme manner, and using the True Word Pill to trick others into revealing their secrets was something he often did in the past.

Therefore, Feng Changge was very familiar with Zhenyu Dan.

"The True Word Pill is good, but it depends on who uses it."

Feng Changge was fearless: "The prerequisite for using the True Word Pill is extremely harsh. Only by tormenting the user's mentality to the point of collapse and forcing them to lose all rationality can the True Word Pill exert its effect."

"You might be able to get some effect on those shallow-minded disciples of sects by torturing them. But it won't work on me at all. I am a member of the demonic path, and my martial will is as solid as a rock, unbreakable. You can't shake my mind at all."

Feng Changge seemed to have Xu Ning firmly under his control.

At this moment, Feng Changge also slowly felt the changes within his body.

My own blood began to feel slightly hot.

This is the reaction before forging demonic blood.

"This person before me has only delayed the forging of demonic blood in the Demonic Blood Pill; he hasn't completely altered its medicinal properties. As long as I buy enough time, I can complete the reforging of the demonic blood and advance to the Dao Realm!"

Changes began to occur within his body, but Feng Changge remained calm and outwardly pretended to be fearless in the face of death.

"Once I advance to the Dao Realm, I will surely tear this person to pieces and grind his bones to ashes!"

Feng Changge suppressed his hatred.

Xu Ning looked at Feng Changge and gently shook her head.

He had long ago discerned the changes within Feng Changge's body.

Xu Ning certainly wouldn't give Feng Changge enough time to forge the demon blood.

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you."

Xu Ning took out two pills, one black and one blue.

He touched Feng Changge's chest, then put the dark pill into Feng Changge's mouth, forcing him to swallow it.

"The Truth-Speaking Pill you're giving me is completely useless."

Feng Changge was not afraid at all.

"You didn't see clearly. The pill I just gave you wasn't the True Word Pill, but the Heart Demon Pill."

Xu Ning smiled slightly.

"The Demon-Inducing Pill, what is that?"

This was the first time Feng Changge had ever heard of the name of this kind of elixir.

The name of this elixir sounds more like a demonic pill.

"A pill to tempt your inner demons."

Xu Ning gave a brief reply.

This Heart Demon Pill is an extremely rare and uncommon elixir, and it is generally never used.

Xu Ning would not have refined it if he had not made thorough preparations before coming to the Illusion Blood Sect.

If the person who consumes the Heart Demon Pill has a heavy inner demon, it will trigger the negative emotions in their heart, causing them to lose their rationality, completely collapse, and even become an unconscious person.

Generally speaking, ordinary martial artists and masters have limited negative emotions in their hearts. Even if they take the Heart Demon Pill, it will only affect their condition at most.

If someone with a pure heart takes it, it may have no effect whatsoever.

However, Feng Changge is a powerful demonic martial artist. Although he has experienced many hardships and has a resilient character, the negative emotions he has accumulated and suppressed over the years are quite terrifying.

Feng Changge then realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, soon Feng Changge felt hallucinations begin to appear before his eyes.

The figures of people he had personally killed before, and even those he had forgotten, kept appearing before his eyes.

Those figures turned into smoke, coalesced into human faces, struggled and roared, emitting sharp and piercing cries, and swarmed towards him, tearing at him frantically.

"Get out of here!"

Feng Changge tried his best to dispel it, but to no avail.

More and more faces appeared in the rising smoke, quickly engulfing him. For a moment, Feng Changge couldn't distinguish between the mental and physical pain.

Xu Ning stood to the side, watching Feng Changge struggle on the spot: "This Demonic Heart Pill is quite useful for demonic martial artists..."

However, the Heart Demon Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the materials are relatively hard to find.

If someone specializes in cultivating spiritual techniques, they can also resist the effects of the Heart Demon Pill.

This is also why the Heart Demon Pill is relatively unpopular and not many people know about it.

"Aaaaaah!"

Feng Changge began to let out a piercing scream.

Although Xu Ning didn't know what he had seen, she could sense his despair at that moment.

puff!

Suddenly, Feng Changge spat out another mouthful of blood.

He was originally able to slowly forge demonic blood, but after his inner demons arose and his mentality collapsed, Feng Changge's process of forging demonic blood failed completely.

"I will advance to the Dao Realm and annihilate you all!"

Feng Changge has started rambling incoherently.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, Feng Changge completely lost control of his mind.

Seeing this, Xu Ning knew the time was ripe, so he directly stuffed the True Word Pill into Feng Changge's mouth.

After taking the True Word Pill, Feng Changge fell completely silent, her eyes glazed over.

"Feng Changge, I ask you, where is the secret realm where you obtained the Demon Blood Pill?"

Xu Ning asked the key question directly.

"That secret realm is located in Yunfeng Marsh in Chungu Prefecture."

Feng Changge was in a daze, his expression stiff, and his words mechanical.

"Spring Valley Prefecture Cloud Peak Marsh..."

Xu Ning noted down this place.

"What secrets does that hidden realm hold? What experiences did you have there, what did you gain, and where are they hidden?"

Xu Ning threw out all the questions at once.

Then, Feng Changge paused for a moment and answered Xu Ning's questions one by one.

Xu Ning listened and took notes.

Nearly half an hour passed, and Xu Ning asked all the questions he wanted to know, and received all the answers he wanted.

"There shouldn't be anything else to ask..."

After confirming that Feng Changge was no longer of any value, Xu Ning waved his hand, and a burst of true energy pierced through his skull.

Feng Changge is currently only at the Body Forging Realm, and in this state, he is no match for Xu Ning's casual strike.

"Feng Changge has been dealt with. Next, we'll thoroughly search his possessions and personal collection in that secret realm."

After Xu Ning cleaned up the scene, he began to search for Feng Changge's secret storage room.

Soon, Xu Ning found the place and began searching for the resources he needed.

"The elixirs and spiritual herbs are indeed scarce, but they're better than nothing!"

Xu Ning scavenged and obtained more than 20000 units of energy.
