Although Lingfeng had only spent a few days with Dragon Slayer, he already understood this person quite well. Dragon Slayer was of low ability but arrogant and narrow-minded. Moreover, he had a grudge against Lingfeng, which he must still harbor in his heart. Although he pleaded with Lingfeng and put on a pitiful act, Lingfeng knew that he was looking for a glimmer of hope and would surely seek revenge later.
"I ask you, is Hezi not here? Why are you all here?" Before taking action, it was essential to gather intelligence about the enemy; otherwise, being unprepared would lead to losses.
Dragon Slayer thought Lingfeng was wary of Hezi, his eyes darting like a weasel as he hurriedly replied, "Big Brother is here and will come over shortly."
Lingfeng sneered twice, unsure if what he said was true or false, and asked again, "Why are you all here?"
"Well..." Dragon Slayer hesitated for a moment, appearing reluctant to answer.
Lingfeng raised an eyebrow and immediately shouted, "Hurry up!"
Dragon Slayer, fearful of the situation, could not withstand Lingfeng's intimidation. Startled by Lingfeng's shout, he quickly said, "Because the Demon Suppression Sect has a garden full of celestial fruits, Big Brother sent us to steal the fruits!"
"Oh~~!" Lingfeng exclaimed in realization; it turned out that the fruits in the Celestial Fruit Orchard were all stolen by them. This led Lingfeng to think that Earth Escape was likely captured from the Celestial Fruit Orchard by them.
Reflecting on Dragon Slayer's words made Lingfeng feel much better. He crouched down and leaned close to Dragon Slayer's face, asking, "So it was your Big Brother who sent you?"
Dragon Slayer nodded repeatedly, looking obedient.
"Haha!" Lingfeng burst into laughter and then turned to look around.
Dragon Slayer looked at Lingfeng in confusion, not understanding why he was laughing, and timidly asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Lingfeng sighed deeply, turned around to look down at Dragon Slayer from above, and murmured, "Dragon Slayer, do you really think playing tricks with me will work?"
"Of course it won't work, Heroic God is incredibly clever, unmatched by anyone. Who can compare to you?" Dragon Slayer frantically waved his hands, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Lingfeng nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "What you said is indeed true, but I need to ask you one more time, is Hezi here or not? If you dare to lie..."
The torch in the Stone House flickered violently as Lingfeng paused his words. Then he swiftly acted; a flame shot out from the torch on the wall and entered Lingfeng's hand, transforming into a Firebird.
Dragon Slayer recognized this Spell. When Lingfeng first fought him, he had used Fire Phoenix Soars. Back then, the Fire Phoenix was just a chick, but now it not only had offensive power but was also several times larger.
Dragon Slayer never expected that Lingfeng's magical power had increased so quickly. Seeing the Fire Phoenix flying in the air and feeling the heat wave hitting his face, he suddenly sensed the breath of death.
Lingfeng grinned and said to the Fire Phoenix, "Show him your Spell!"
In truth, the Fire Phoenix couldn't understand any language; it merely acted according to Lingfeng's thoughts. As long as Lingfeng used his Spiritual Energy, he could subconsciously command the Fire Phoenix, which would execute his orders like a living creature.
As soon as Lingfeng finished speaking, the Fire Phoenix quickly flapped its wings a few times. With its hoarse cry, a torrent of flames erupted from its mouth like a fiery red sword, accompanied by waves of heat. With a loud bang, it instantly shattered a table inside the Stone House, and the broken wooden pieces ignited in flames.
Lingfeng waved his hand to extinguish the burning table and turned back to look at Dragon Slayer.
Dragon Slayer stared in shock at the wooden fragments before him, his face pale and lips purple, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Are you ready to tell the truth now?" Lingfeng recalled the Fire Phoenix, crouched down, and patiently asked.
"I-I..." Dragon Slayer struggled to speak. His fear revealed his cowardly side completely. At that moment, he felt his upper teeth chattering against his lower teeth and couldn't produce a normal sound.
Lingfeng disdainfully glanced at Dragon Slayer, "If you are honest with me, I might spare your life if I’m pleased. But if you keep acting like this, like a useless coward, I guarantee I will kill you immediately!"
As soon as Lingfeng finished speaking, Dragon Slayer trembled and stood up, stammering, "Big Brother, Big Brother didn't come. It's just me and Third Brother Red-Haired Demon here, along with a few dozen Loyal Minions."
"Nonsense!" Lingfeng shouted angrily, quickly turning around to glare at Dragon Slayer. He yelled, "With just you and Red-Haired Demon, plus those Loyal Minions, how could you possibly steal the fruits from the Demon Suppression Sect's Celestial Fruit Orchard?"
Dragon Slayer fell to his knees again, clutching Lingfeng's leg with a sobbing tone, "It's the truth! There are still over a dozen ninjas hiding in the Demon Suppression Sect's Celestial Fruit Orchard. They are responsible for smuggling the fruits out!"
In front of many cultivators, the only ones who could hide themselves without being discovered were probably ninjas. Thinking carefully, the only ones who could steal celestial fruits right under Qingzhi's nose without being detected were likely ninjas as well.
There are many types of Ninjutsu, and their methods can be compared to the Spells used by cultivators. It is said that Ninjutsu also originated in Ancient China and is likely a branch of cultivation. However, although Ninjutsu can grant longevity, it does not allow one to ascend, which is why it did not continue to be passed down in China.
However, ninjas do not require Spiritual Energy within their bodies, so even highly skilled ninjas would not be detected by cultivators who can distinguish between experts and ordinary people.
Among Ninjutsu techniques, there is one called Disguise Technique. This technique does not require external assistance; it allows one to change their appearance to that of a target without any flaws. The only way to see through this technique is to understand the daily habits or physical secrets of the person being impersonated.
The Disguise Technique is also an excellent assassination method; if one disguises themselves as a relative of the target, the success rate is nearly one hundred percent. Using the Disguise Technique for theft would raise no suspicion at all.
After hearing Dragon Slayer's words, Lingfeng nodded thoughtfully and then hurriedly asked, "Is there a Thousand-Year Ginseng in the Celestial Fruit Orchard that you captured?"
Dragon Slayer dared not hide anything from Lingfeng and quickly replied, "Twenty days ago, two ninjas accidentally discovered a Thousand-Year Ginseng that had emerged from the ground while practicing their invisibility technique. After Red-Haired Demon heard about this, he gave them the method to capture the Thousand-Year Ginseng, and they brought it back immediately!"
The method for capturing Thousand-Year Ginseng combined with invisibility techniques was essentially an impeccable trap. The agile Earth Escape would be caught; thinking back on it now, it wasn't surprising at all. Even powerful cultivators would likely be helpless against undetectable invisibility techniques and high-grade magical artifacts.
"Where is it now?" Lingfeng quickly asked.
"Red-Haired Demon wants to consume the Thousand-Year Ginseng but must first eliminate its Chaos Energy, so he has hung it in the dungeon!"
Lingfeng gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath before slapping Dragon Slayer across the face.
Dragon Slayer, bewildered by the sudden slap, dared not protest. He could only hope to save his life and repeatedly bowed, saying, "If you want the Thousand-Year Ginseng, I am willing to give it to you!"
As soon as Dragon Slayer finished speaking, another loud slap landed on his face, leaving a red mark immediately visible.
"I'll tell you this: that Thousand-Year Ginseng is my friend. I came here specifically to find it. I didn't expect to discover your theft of the celestial fruit. You are now my prisoner. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll send you straight to meet the King of Hell. If you want to live, take me to the Thousand-Year Ginseng right now!"
With that, Lingfeng summoned a Plum Blossom Dart from Xuanji and pressed it against Dragon Slayer's back, threatening fiercely, "If you dare to pull any stunts, you'll die without a burial place!" He then used the Water Control Technique to unfreeze the door.
The corridor was silent, with only the sound of flames crackling against the walls.
Lingfeng followed closely behind Dragon Slayer and nudged him forward.
Dragon Slayer opened a mechanism in the wall, and they stepped outside, just in time to see the Red-Haired Demon approaching.
"Don't try anything funny!" Lingfeng whispered.
"Second Brother, how did you get out?" the Red-Haired Demon hurriedly asked as he stepped forward.
Dragon Slayer let out an awkward chuckle, his facial muscles twitching mechanically but showing no real emotion.
The Red-Haired Demon scrutinized Dragon Slayer and asked with concern, "Eldest Brother, what happened to your face?" He reached out to touch it.
Lingfeng did not want to waste time on such delays; otherwise, their cover would be blown sooner or later. He gently pushed the Plum Blossom Dart deeper into Dragon Slayer's flesh.
Dragon Slayer winced in pain and quickly said to Red-Haired Demon, "I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now!" With that, he hurriedly made his exit.
Red-Haired Demon looked at Dragon Slayer with confusion, then glanced at Lingfeng, scratching his head as he said, "Wait a moment!"
As Dragon Slayer was about to continue walking, Lingfeng suddenly grabbed his shirt.
"Why do you look so familiar?" Red-Haired Demon stepped closer to Lingfeng, curiously observing his profile.
Lingfeng found it inconvenient to speak, so he adjusted the Plum Blossom Dart, and a warm sensation emanated from behind Dragon Slayer.
A cold sweat broke out on Dragon Slayer, and he quickly replied, "We're all brothers, of course I recognize him!"
"Oh~~, right!" Red-Haired Demon chuckled, then patted Lingfeng on the shoulder, saying, "Since you're the second brother's follower, just do your best. You might get promoted in the future!"
Dragon Slayer gasped in shock; when Red-Haired Demon patted Lingfeng's shoulder, it inadvertently triggered the Plum Blossom Dart, hitting Dragon Slayer's sensitive spot.
"Third Brother, if there's nothing else, I'm going to leave now!" Without waiting for a response from Red-Haired Demon, Dragon Slayer hurriedly departed. If he stayed any longer, his life would likely be in jeopardy.
