Chapter 74

On that day, Tairan was hung out in the scorching sun, and an old man walked over. He said, "Put him down and bring him to my tent."

In a large tent, Tairan was dragged in. He was completely under control, unable to control his body or his wheel storage space, which had been sealed.

Tairan tried hard to see clearly. When he did, his dry lips trembled, and he mumbled a word, "Yi Datong..."

Yi Datong took out a cup of water and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect it to be an old friend. I didn't know you were the one caught. Unfortunately... I didn't catch the other person."

Tairan took small sips of water. After a while, he said, "Are you talking about Leibao?"

Yi Datong nodded and said, "That's right. I searched for two days but couldn't find him. He's not among the dead, and I suspect he escaped."

After finishing the water, Tairan felt a bit better and said, "With your skills, you want to catch Leibao? Don't you think that's too arrogant? You were beaten like a dead dog back then, hahaha, cough, cough... It turns out it was your people who caught me... No, with your skills, how could you have so many experts... cough, cough!"

Yi Datong's face gradually turned pale. He stared at Tairan and said, "You're worse than a dead dog now!"

Tairan said, "Cough, cough, yes, yes... I am indeed worse than a dead dog. If you have the guts, kill me!"

Yi Datong really didn't dare to kill him. Before he revealed the treasure, they could only torture him but wouldn't dare to kill him.

Yi Datong reached out and patted Tairan's cheek, saying, "Can you tell me... where Leibao will go?"

Tairan hated him deeply and said, "You want to find him? Are you eager to die? No... cough, cough, cough... Oh, I get it, you probably joined a major force, wanting to rely on numbers... cough, cough, is there a powerful expert... I believe, with your skills, if you see Leibao, he will definitely kill you."

Suddenly, a strong aura emanated from Yi Datong, pressing down on Tairan so hard he couldn't breathe. After a while, Tairan gasped, "So you're already a Seal True Person. No wonder you're so arrogant, hahaha... but you still can't match Leibao. You will still lose, hahaha... cough, cough... ah..."

Yi Datong kicked Tairan over and stomped on his hand, twisting his foot and said, "Is that so? Is that so?"

Starno walked in and said calmly, "Let him go."

Yi Datong quickly withdrew his foot and said, "Senior, I'm interrogating him." He bowed and nodded obsequiously.

Tairan said, "Hahaha, cough, cough, ha... Yi Datong, you're still so shameless. You grovel to those stronger than you and bully the weak. I... cough, cough, I just can't stand your cowardly appearance!"

Starno sat down and said, "Leibao should have gotten the best treasure. You should have some too. Hand it over, and I'll spare your life."

Tairan sneered and said, "I don't believe you will spare my life after I hand over the treasure! Cough, cough, cough..."

Starno said calmly, "I swear by the name of Seal True Person, if you hand over the treasure, I'll spare your life!"

Seal True Person! That is an expert who has condensed the Nine Rings True Body, the top expert in this continent.

Tairan was stunned. He didn't expect an ancient wheel storage space to attract such a powerful existence. He said, "You, you... cough, cough, cough!" He was truly frightened. A Six Rings True Body Seal True Person was absolutely a top figure in major sects. As for Seven Rings, Eight Rings, and Nine Rings True Bodies, they were mostly legendary figures. It was no wonder that he, a Five Rings True Body True Person, found it hard to reach higher circles.

Yi Datong was very satisfied with Tairan's shock. He said, "Aren't you going to agree, Senior?"

Tairan was only shocked by the other's strength but didn't lose his basic judgment. He said, "I know very well that even if you are a Seal True Person... cough, you are still a human, and humans are greedy. The stronger ones are even more greedy. Cough, I don't believe you. Kill me!"

Starno indeed had no intention of letting Tairan go. Even if he didn't do it himself, he had enough people to do it. No matter what, he wouldn't let Tairan go.

Yi Datong cursed, "You bastard, stubborn fool!"

Tairan opened his dry mouth and laughed silently, followed by a fit of coughing and spitting out blood. He said, "You are even more of a bastard, a fool. You are foolish, so don't be jealous of others being smart."

Starno frowned slightly and said, "Lock him up."

Before Tairan was dragged away, a True Person came over and said, "Senior, we have found out. Their base is in the Xirong Kingdom, called Tairan Night Fort. It's said that Leibao's granddaughter is there. They will definitely go there, but it's uncertain how long they will stay."

Tairan spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling both anxious and angry, knowing that his subordinates couldn't withstand the torture and had confessed.

Starno smiled and said, "Very good, Tairan. Soon... Leibao will come to keep you company."

Tairan muttered softly, "I hope you die!" The gurgling sound mixed with blood was inaudible even to Starno, who had a Nine Rings True Body.

Starno said, "Yi Datong, follow me."

Summoning Sun Ruru, Starno said, "I need to go out for a while. Here... you will be in charge of the excavation and collection of items. No matter who comes, if they dare to enter here, kill them. I don't want any surprises. I believe... there are definitely good things here, and they can't get everything."

This was just a guess. Starno didn't know what good things Leibao had taken. From the information obtained from Tairan's subordinates, he had his own ideas, but he still understood that Leibao must have obtained some of the best things, and key items, such as cultivation techniques, which were extremely important to him. His cultivation had reached a dead end, and he urgently needed ancient cultivation techniques for reference. This was the reason Starno was eager to find Leibao.

Sun Ruru nodded and said, "No problem. We have captured thousands of people, and their wheel storage spaces have been sealed. They can't hide the excavated items."

Starno said, "Hmm, rest assured. I will share the items with you."

Sun Ruru understood that the so-called sharing would definitely be cultivation techniques, which couldn't be shared otherwise. Even so, he was very satisfied and said, "Good, no problem, I'll take care of it here."

Starno asked, "Do we have enough people?"

Sun Ruru smiled bitterly and said, "To thoroughly excavate this place... we always need more people. Hmm, how about sending a dozen True Persons to capture people from various sects? I need a large number of people."

Starno nodded and said, "Alright, you find someone to handle it. I won't get involved."

Taking Yi Datong, Starno left, bringing along a guide, as he was not familiar with the Xirong Kingdom.

The guide was a Ten Thousand Wheel Master from Tairan Night Fort, who, unable to withstand the torture, had betrayed Tairan completely. He had revealed everything he knew. This Ten Thousand Wheel Master was named Hou Lu, nicknamed Monkey, known for his cunning and slyness. He was extremely afraid of death and pain, and after just one day of torture, he had completely surrendered.

Starno quickly activated the ancient wheel channel through a wheel point and soon entered the Xirong Kingdom.

...

With Hou Lu as an insider, Starno and Yi Datong easily found Tairan Night Fort. They moved very quickly, and with Starno's secret techniques, the three of them crossed the small stone bridge in less than three days.

A patrol team from Tairan Night Fort saw them and immediately approached to ask.

Hou Lu naturally recognized them and said, "It's me!"

The patrol team members were surprised to see Hou Lu and asked, "It's you, Monkey. Where are the others?"

Hou Lu didn't answer and said, "I have important business. Is Senior Leibao still here?" He stared nervously at the other, as Starno had promised to release him once Leibao was found in Tairan Night Fort.

The patrol team member said, "Senior Leibao is leaving soon, tomorrow. They are in the Night Fort now."

Hou Lu quickly turned back and said, "Senior, he is... that..." He wanted to ask if he could be released, but before he could finish, Yi Datong punched him in the head, and his head exploded. Then Yi Datong began to slaughter.

Starno stood with his hands behind his back, smiling. He had indeed promised Hou Lu, but Yi Datong hadn't, so he didn't act, and Yi Datong killed him. Tairan was indeed a wise man; he firmly refused to agree to any of Starno's conditions.

The highest rank in the patrol team was a Secret Wheel Master, and they couldn't match a Six Rings True Body Seal True Person. In a few breaths, they were all killed, and no one could escape or even send an alarm. The enemy was too powerful.

The two of them walked confidently towards the Night Fort, the center of Tairan Night Fort.

Starno smiled, watching Yi Datong kill people effortlessly. Finally, there were some who managed to send an alarm, but the reinforcements that came out were just asking for death. If they had stayed in their houses, Yi Datong wouldn't have searched them out, but if they came out to block, he had no qualms about killing them.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Night Fort, a huge umbrella-shaped building.

The cultivators there scattered, and Leibao and his group received the news.

Yan Wu said, "That's not right. Two people just charged in... Could they be from the Thousand Sand Barrier?"

Gelu said, "It's very likely."

Leibao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see." To be able to charge in so boldly, the intruders were either madmen or great experts. He leaned towards the latter.
