Chen Moxuan contemplated that if all else failed, capturing and interrogating through torture, or even soul-searching, might not be a bad option.
The onlookers raised their heads to the sky, watching in awe as a massive dragon soared past, carrying a spirited young man. Their eyes were filled with shock and reverence.
Upon arriving at the site of the meteor's impact, Chen Moxuan and Xiao Bai Long were taken aback by the scene before them. The meteor had created a gaping hole in the roof of a house, crashing directly into the belly of a pregnant woman. The meteor vanished, and miraculously, a tiny life was born.
The infant was surrounded by a faint glow, and astonishingly, it held a jade pendant in its mouth. As soon as it was born, the baby seemed to sense Chen Moxuan's presence and opened its eyes. The pendant naturally slipped from its mouth and fell into its hand, which then instinctively formed a seal.
Those bright eyes seemed capable of perceiving all things in the world. The baby looked at Chen Moxuan and spoke: "Chen Moxuan, your time is running out; you are in grave danger."
At these words, the baby's father was thrown into a panic, trembling with fear. He shouted about monsters, while Qi Qin, exhausted and frightened, fainted away. The surrounding crowd quickly retreated, horrified by the scene.
Chen Moxuan laughed heartily: "I have lived for over ten thousand years, weathered countless storms; many have tried to kill me, yet I have never died!"
He fixed his gaze on the infant and asked, "What kind of demon or ghost are you? How dare you speak such nonsense?"
The baby merely smiled slightly, its eyes revealing a wisdom that transcended the mundane world. It looked back at Chen Moxuan and said, "Your fate is about to change; whether you live or die is entirely up to your thoughts."
Chen Moxuan felt a stir within him; he understood that this child was no ordinary being and likely had deep connections to the meteorite. Just as he prepared to inquire further, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching rapidly.
People from Xianyuan Shengzhou were coming. Chen Moxuan thought to himself as he turned to Xiao Bai Long and instructed, "Protect this baby and his father; I will deal with those guys."
With that, Chen Moxuan stepped outside. He saw several figures leap forward and land before him.
Chen Moxuan's gaze was piercing, directed at the few individuals who had descended from Xianyuan Shengzhou. He did not hide his questioning, his voice steady and powerful: "Why have you come?"
The leader of the Xianyuan Shengzhou group had a stern face, his eyes gleaming with an undeniable light. He looked at Chen Moxuan, his tone resolute and unyielding. "You already know the answer to that. The jade pendant in the child's mouth is essential for our mission. If you are wise, hand it over to us, and we will leave the child unharmed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow tightly, feeling a surge of caution within him. He hadn't expected them to know about the jade pendant; this clearly indicated they possessed some form of divination or foresight. They seemed to be fully prepared for this encounter.
Chen Moxuan refused to back down, stating, "You speak so boldly in my Yun Miao Sheng Zhou, yet dare to act so recklessly. That jade pendant is a treasure of my Yun Miao Sheng Zhou; it belongs to us and has nothing to do with you. Where exactly do you come from? If you do not confess honestly, do not blame me for being ruthless and searching your souls!"
The members of Xianyuan Shengzhou exchanged glances, a hint of mockery flashing in their eyes. They appeared unfazed by Chen Moxuan's threats and instead burst into laughter. One of them sneered, "Search souls? With you? How audacious! Since you refuse to willingly hand over the jade pendant, we will have to take matters into our own hands."
Before he finished speaking, the group moved in unison towards Chen Moxuan. Their figures were agile and their movements swift; they were clearly seasoned fighters.
Seeing this, Chen Moxuan shot them a cold glance and immediately retreated while waving his hand. Tiger Brother descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning, roaring fiercely as its massive body rolled through the air before lunging at the Xianyuan Shengzhou experts.
Its eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light, and its sharp claws sparkled in the sunlight, each strike carrying the power to tear through the air. Although those individuals were also experienced fighters, they appeared utterly vulnerable under Tiger Brother's ferocious assault.
Its giant claws swung like the scythe of death, each movement claiming a life. The sweeping tail was like a massive whip in a storm, battering those who attempted to resist into a bloody pulp.
Just as Tiger Brother was in the midst of its rampage, Chen Moxuan suddenly shouted coldly: "Leave one alive!"
Upon hearing this, Tiger Brother immediately retracted its murderous intent, focusing on the most audacious individual from earlier. With a powerful leap, it pounced on him, pinning him to the ground with its massive body, rendering him immobile.
The others, witnessing this scene, were filled with terror and attempted to flee, but how could Tiger Brother allow them that chance? In a flurry of swift movements, it unleashed its claws and swept its tail, swiftly dispatching the remaining foes—killing some and leaving others severely injured. Not a single one managed to escape its grasp.
Once the battle concluded, Tiger Brother approached Chen Moxuan, lowering its head to gaze at the subdued individual beneath it, eyes gleaming with victory. Chen Moxuan then coldly stepped forward, looking down at the man with an air of undeniable authority.
"Now tell me, where do you come from? Why are you so fixated on the jade pendant in that infant's hands?"
The man stared at Chen Moxuan in sheer terror, despair flickering in his eyes. "W-What kind of monster are you? We have so many experts at the sixth rank of Dao Embryo Realm, yet we can't even handle one—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Moxuan struck him across the face with a palm. "Stop your rambling. Either tell me the truth or face death after I extract your soul. Choose one."
"I won't tell you anything! Even if you kill me, I won't utter a word!" The man from Xianyuan Shengzhou gritted his teeth, determined to remain silent. He seemed to regard Chen Moxuan's threat of soul extraction as a joke. However, this realization also made him understand that this person likely did not recognize him and knew little about the Immortal Emperor's affairs. His faction must be of a lower tier.
Seeing the man's stubbornness, a glint of coldness flashed in Chen Moxuan's eyes. He ceased his idle chatter and retrieved an ancient copper mirror from his robe—the Soul Mirror.
Holding the Soul Mirror and chanting incantations under his breath, Chen Moxuan activated it. The mirror's surface shimmered with light as an invisible force enveloped the man instantly.
The man’s eyes widened in horror as he tried to struggle but found himself completely immobilized. He could only watch helplessly as his soul was gradually extracted from his body and drawn into the mirror. Within its depths, scenes of his past lives unfolded like lantern slides before him.
