Martial Peak

Chapter 880, Fanning the Flames

Seeing these two’s reaction, Wu Jie simply snickered and without even moving, pressed his aura down on them, causing the two men to instantly go pale as they realized the massive gap in power between themselves and Wu Jie. All thoughts of resistance disappeared and only fear and panic remained in their eyes.

One of them trembled as he managed to ask, “Who are you and why did you capture us?”

Wu Jie didn’t answer, his green glowing eyes staring menacingly towards the pair of now terrified cultivators.

It was only after thoroughly intimidating them that Wu Jie coldly spoke, “I have something to ask you, your free to answer or not to answer, but if you fail to satisfy me, I’ll strip your Souls from your bodies and search your memories myself. If you’d prefer to not suffer the pain of having your Souls torn apart, I suggest you cooperate honestly.”

“Strip our Souls….” The two Transcendent Realm cultivators shivered uncontrollably, all colour draining from their faces.

Their strength was not too low, so they naturally understood what kind of pain and suffering would accompany their Souls being forcefully searched. Such inhuman torture almost always resulted in one first going insane from the pain and then dying a miserable death. Generally, only the vilest of cultivators would use such means.

However, the man in front of them with his eerie green aura and ghastly eyes seemed to perfectly fit the description of an evil master…

The pair hastily nodded, “Please ask, whatever you wish to know, we will definitely answer.”

Wu Jie grinned wickedly, nodding in satisfaction before beginning, “Do you know where this is?”

The two cultivators both glanced at each other and nodded, one of them replying, “This should be somewhere inside Nine Heavens Holy Land, yes?”

“Correct, this is indeed Nine Heavens Holy Land; yet knowing that, you still dared wander around outside?” Wu Jie eyebrow slightly lifted, “Explain yourselves, what are you doing here?”

The other man quickly replied, “We came here to search for artifacts.”

“Search for artifacts?” Wu Jie frowned, “On the ground outside?”

“Yes.”

“Who told you there were artifacts out there?”

“A lot of people have been discussing rumours like that…” One of the men hurriedly explained. Listening to his story, Yang Kai quickly understood that some unknown party was spreading false information that after the war that was fought around Nine Heavens Holy Land three years ago, countless powerful cultivators had died and left behind many artifacts. This rumour had attracted a great many people who wanted to try their luck to see if they could pick up a treasure or two.

“There are a lot of people outside, are you all looking for artifacts?” Wu Jie asked.
