223 Interrogating the Sacred Heart Disciples
As Qin Huai entered the ninth refinement, he had already reached the ninety-meter range. There were also those who were killed by him.
Qin Huai walked into the second courtyard, following the same pattern.
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence (Green)], [Blood Heart Technique] Experience +160!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence (Green)], [Blood Heart Technique] Experience +170!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence (Green)], [Blood Heart Technique] Experience +103!”
Most of the people in the village cultivated the blood heart technique, and only a small number of them cultivated the long breath technique. Furthermore, their cultivation realm was not high, so the experience they gave Qin Huai was very little.
Qin Huai quickly cleaned up the third courtyard. The first three courtyards only had about thirty people in total. More than half of the rooms and beds in the courtyards were empty.
At the fourth, Qin Huai pushed the door open with a creak. There were only three people lying inside, but…
Not a single experience ball dropped.
‘Three great blood refinements?’
Qin Huai took out three black pills and stuffed them into their mouths. Then, he held Silver Fox in his hand and gently tapped each of the three people’s chests.
The moment the blood seeped out, the three of them suddenly woke up.
“Don’t move,” Qin Huai said coldly. “You have been poisoned. If you want to live, answer my question honestly.”
As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, he raised his spear and pierced the throat of the man on his left.
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence (Purple)], [Blood Heart Technique] Experience +2789!”
The brawny man exclaimed, “He didn’t want to attack, so why did you kill him?!”
“Oh, I was afraid you would think that I’m kind and would not dare to kill, so reminded you.” Qin Huai was expressionless as he moved the tip of his spear to the remaining two.
The two muscular men’s faces turned pale. They knew that they had met a ruthless person.
The two burly men were extremely large, twice the size of Qin Huai. However, their limbs were very normal, so they looked like two turtles wearing clothes, which was extremely awkward.
“Just ask.”
“Have you seen or do you know a group of martial artists who cultivate the long breath technique? The leader of the martial artists is very old, with white hair and a long beard. He’s good at using poison,” Qin Huai asked.
“Is it the group of people who used poisonous fire to kill many of us in September Hook?” a burly man exclaimed.
“Yes.” Qin Huai’s spear pierced through his cheek.
The brawny man wailed in pain as blood gushed down his face.
“Don’t play tricks. The people outside are all dead, so it’s useless no matter how loud you shout.” Qin Huai was cold as he drew his spear.
The two huge holes on the burly man’s face howled with the wind, and he could not even speak clearly.
“You’re so vicious. How do I know I won’t die if I answer you?” The other brawny man was trembling.
“I don’t know, but if you don’t tell me, you’ll definitely wish you were dead.” Qin Huai pointed the spear at him.
The man whose face had been pierced instantly began to howl in pain. Immediately, blisters began to appear on his body.
In just a few breaths, his entire body was covered in dense blood-colored bubbles, making him look like a giant red toad.
The man beside him felt his scalp tingle. ‘A demon! Does this man’s body release poison?’
He didn’t even see Qin Huai make a move, and his brother had already become like this.
“Sir, I’ll tell you everything… We found their tracks four days ago, hiding in Huai Dan City. Then, he sent people to chase after them…”
Qin Huai frowned. “If I remember correctly, Huai Dan City fell into the hands of the Balance Army two days ago, right?”
“Yes… Therefore, our people returned empty-handed,” the man stammered, not daring to look up at Qin Huai.
That was because they had just received a messenger pigeon back two hours ago. If the time was right, the people who had gone out to kill should have arrived by now.
The leader of the group was an existence at the ninth refinement realm. He was a true believer of the Sacred Heart sect.
“Didn’t you just poison some of your people to death? Why are you chasing after them so relentlessly?” Qin Huai coldly asked.
Qin Huai was furious. If his master and the others were caught in the meat grinder of the battle between the county governor’s mansion and the Balance Army, it would definitely be extremely dangerous.
“Because… Because they seemed to be blacksmiths and knew how to forge armor. That’s why those lords above wanted to capture them and make armor for us,” the man stammered.
No wonder… A complete set of armor was indeed the fastest way to increase a person’s combat strength.
If that was the case, Luo Huatian seemed to have been a good blacksmith. He had started as a blacksmith and established a huge blacksmith shop business. Could they be among them?
“Where is the place where your Sacred Heart sect refines iron?” Qin Huai asked again.
“Well…” The man’s eyes evaded his gaze. He knew that if he told him everything, he would die the next moment. The only thing he could do now was to stall for time and wait for that lord to return.
Crack!
Qin Huai stabbed his spear into his shoulder. With a flick of the spear tip, one of its tendons was severed.
“Ah! It’s September Hook, right below September Hook!”
“The headquarters of the Sacred Heart sect?” Qin Huai frowned.
There were quite a number of bone pattern realm experts there. Not to mention his current strength, he might not even be able to take down the entire Nine Dragons sect.
Qin Huai grew increasingly anxious.
“However, my lord… Our Sacred Heart sect treats these skilled blacksmiths very well. They’re all placed there. It’s just that they work a little longer every day. Their lives are definitely not in danger.”
