After a stretch of travel, Sacred Light Baimei came to a stop above a vast plain.
"Niantian."
He looked toward Niantian Daoist.
And Niantian Daoist understood immediately.
Whoosh—
Niantian Daoist raised his arm, and a gourd soared into the sky.
The gourd was covered in inscribed rune patterns. Once it was fixed in midair, not only did the runes begin to circulate, but it also released a radiant light imbued with the patterns of a barrier.

"But don't worry. This gourd of mine is an ancient secret treasure. With it here, I can completely seal off the tracking rune within his soul."
"The people of the
"You can now interrogate him in peace."
Niantian Daoist said to
"No, no, please don't hit me! I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"I really don't know where my father went, but I do know where my sister, Princess Xiaoxiao, went."
"If you want revenge, go find her! My father harmed Sister Immortal Meow Meow only because he was trying to cure Xiaoxiao's illness."
"In the end, the real culprit behind all of this is that girl Xiaoxiao!"

And then he truly did relay Princess Xiaoxiao's itinerary to
He even told
His words were vivid and detailed — it didn't sound like he was lying.
But
"No, no, no, don't do it!"
"Everything I said is the truth! I'm not lying to you!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll lead you there myself. If you find out I've deceived you, then you can punish me — it won't be too late!"

"I... I... I... I really didn't know!"
The Ascending Dragon Prince was thoroughly frightened, but after turning it over in his mind, he shook his head.

"I was wrong! I really was wrong! Spare me, please! I won't dare do it again — I'll never dare hide anything from you again!"
This was nothing more than the most basic form of torture, yet it had him grimacing in unbearable pain — not only were tears pouring from his eyes, but snot was running down his face as well.
But the ferocity on
"Ahhhhh—!"
And the Ascending Dragon Prince's wailing echoed through the air like the squealing of a pig, resounding without end.
As for this scene, Sacred Light Baimei and the other two remained completely silent, with no intention of intervening.
They all understood that with Immortal Meow Meow having been harmed, there was a fire burning inside
But that fury was bound to be released sooner or later.
