The third volume is named Cangyu Chapter 296: The Black Robe Gang Leader!
Yang Ye was born into a family with abundant resources. He was discovered to be talented since he was a child and has been cultivated by the elders of the family. He is a prodigy who has always been held in the palm of the family's hand, and countless people want to follow his wishes.
Afterwards, he joined the Wendao Sect. With the accumulation of family resources and the blessing of talent, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. After continuous efforts, he became the purple-robed disciple of the Wendao Sect twenty years later.
Apart from a number of setbacks in the process of becoming a purple-robed disciple, Yang Ye's path of cultivation can be described as smooth sailing. He never thought that this day would come when he would be tortured like this, and was tortured twice in one day!
In this horrible pain, Yang Ye's eyes flashed with an extremely strong hatred, and he silently said in his heart: "If you let me escape, I will definitely ask the elders of my family to rush here to suppress and destroy your entire gang. I will make you live a life worse than death and return the pain you are experiencing now to you a thousand times!"
But the sinister thought of revenge in Yang Ye's heart was quickly suppressed by the horrible pain. Now was not the time to think about revenge at all. The top priority was to think about how to save his life!
However, Yang Ye did not dare to tell the skinny old man about the search compass, otherwise the sect would be furious about this matter, and the consequences would be disastrous!
While Yang Ye was hesitating, the skinny old man would not hold back at all. At this moment, he even burst out with a stronger power. The more terrifying oppressive force instantly overturned him, causing Yang Ye's pain to increase again!
"Senior, please go around me. I really didn't use any methods!" Although Yang Ye was in great pain at this time, he still did not tell the secret of searching for the compass to the skinny old man, but just kept begging for mercy!
Seeing that Yang Ye was still insisting, the skinny old man's heart was completely filled with anger and anxiety, and a strong vicious look suddenly appeared in his eyes!
At this moment, the skinny old man suddenly stopped using his cultivation to oppress Yang Ye. A hint of hope and doubt emerged in Yang Ye's heart. Could it be that this old man finally believed what I said and decided not to press the issue anymore?
But Yang Ye's hope of luck only lasted for a moment before it was covered by even more intense fear!
At this time, the skinny old man raised his hand and slapped Yang Ye's dantian. After gently squeezing it, he pulled it hard. Yang Ye instantly felt the spirit baby in his dantian being pulled out of his body uncontrollably !
This feeling made Yang Ye extremely frightened. He had heard of many ways of torturing spirit babies, and he had even tried to torture other people's spirit babies himself. He knew very well in his heart that the pain of torturing spirit babies was far greater than torturing the physical body!
Moreover, the spirit infant is the source of his cultivation. If the spirit infant is damaged by torture, it means that his cultivation will also be damaged!
After Yang Ye’s spirit baby was pulled out, the look on his little face was extremely frightened, but the skinny old man looked at him with a smile, without saying a word!
Under the cold gaze of the skinny old man, Yang Ye's thoughts raced in fear. The skinny old man pulled out his spiritual baby, he must have wanted to torture him and force him to tell him the secret of how he found this place so quickly!
But if Yang Ye told this to the skinny old man, he was worried that he would be severely punished by the sect!
Although Yang Ye's family is extremely powerful, it is still far from comparable to the Wendao Sect, one of the three major sects in Cangyu Continent!
If the Daoist Sect wanted to punish him, it would be of no use even if the family elders knew the situation!
Seeing that Yang Ye was still hesitant, the skinny old man smiled coldly again, and a white flame instantly condensed in his hand, directly covering Yang Ye's spirit baby!
Yang Ye’s spirit infant instantly felt an intense burning sensation, as if he was thrown alive into a blazing furnace. Even his spirit infant’s power instantly began to dissipate!
In this horrible pain, Yang Ye's spirit baby's face instantly twisted into a ball, with an extremely ferocious look, but what terrified him even more was the dissipation of the spirit baby's power!
The cultivation level that he had gained through hard training was gradually declining as the power of the spiritual infant dissipated!
The fear in Yang Ye's heart became more and more intense. If he continued like this, his cultivation level from the peak of the late Spirit Infant Realm would continue to drop, and he might even drop directly to the Spirit Pill Realm!
It is extremely difficult to restore the cultivation level of this kind of spiritual infant due to damage, and it requires the absorption of a large amount of rare treasures from heaven and earth!
"Senior, please spare my life. I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Yang Ye's heart was finally filled with fear, and he begged for mercy to the skinny old man!
After hearing his plea for mercy, the skinny old man put away the white flames and stopped burning Yang Ye's spirit baby. He said sullenly and sarcastically, " You won't cry until you see the coffin. Wouldn't it be better to confess honestly earlier and avoid all this physical pain?"
After hearing this, Yang Ye felt very bitter and thought gloomily in his heart, if he wasn't concerned about the sect's punishment, who would want to endure this kind of pain? Even his cultivation had been slightly damaged at this time!
Yang Ye did not dare to delay any longer and explained honestly: "Senior, there is a golden compass in my storage ring. I can use it to find the location of the sect token of the disciples of the Wendao Sect."
At this time, Yang Ye's cultivation was sealed, and he could not open the storage ring by himself, so he had to say this. After hearing this, the skinny old man directly took off his storage ring, wiped off the spiritual consciousness sealed by Yang Ye on it, probed into it with his spiritual consciousness, and directly took out the golden compass!
At the same time, Yang Ye told the skinny old man the secret method of using the golden compass. He was completely scared. If he delayed any more time, the skinny old man would probably become furious and torture him again!
Upon hearing this, the skinny old man immediately activated the golden compass according to the secret method. A map instantly appeared on the compass, and four white spots of light appeared near the place, indicating that there were four disciples of the Wendao Sect nearby!
Realizing this, the skinny old man's expression changed instantly. He didn't argue with Yang Ye any more. He immediately took out his sect token and crushed it. Then he put it into the storage ring again, and finally directly unlocked the light curtain of the formation that covered the surroundings!
The skinny old man performed these actions extremely quickly, because he knew that if he did not destroy Yang Ye’s moving sect token as quickly as possible, the people from the Dao Sect who came to rescue would soon track them down!
When the light curtain dissipated, everyone saw the skinny old man again and found that his complexion had improved slightly, but he still seemed a little anxious!
Not only that, everyone also saw the skinny old man holding a golden compass in his hand!
After seeing this golden compass, Li Xuanfeng was shocked. As he expected, this was what the skinny old man was looking for!
Li Xuanfeng knew in his heart that this golden compass was related to the location of the disciples, and it must be activated by the secret method of the Taoist Sect. Now that he saw the skinny old man being able to operate the golden compass , it meant that under the coercion of the skinny old man, Yang Ye had already revealed the secret method of activating the golden compass!
After unlocking the light curtain of the formation, the skinny old man immediately sent a message to his seven subordinates, asking them to secretly crush the sect tokens of Tang Hui and the other two!
Upon hearing this, the seven people immediately did as they were told. They controlled their spiritual consciousness to take out the storage rings of Tang Hui and the other two, wiped out their spiritual consciousness and forced them open, then integrated their spiritual power to directly shatter their sect tokens!
After smashing the sect tokens of Yang Ye and the other three, and seeing the four white spots of light in the golden compass disappear, the skinny old man felt a little relieved. He immediately integrated his spiritual consciousness into the golden compass and began to search for other sect tokens in the area!
The skinny old man knew that there were only five disciples of the Wendao Sect who came here, including Li Xuanfeng. At this time, Yang Ye and the other four had been captured. If the white light spot representing the sect's token appeared in the golden compass again, that would be where Li Xuanfeng was!
However, when the skinny old man used all his strength to activate the golden compass, the map on the compass kept spinning around, and no white light appeared on the map!
The skinny old man was extremely surprised. According to Yang Ye's instructions, if there was no sect token of a disciple of the Wendao Sect nearby, the map in the compass would stop after rotating one circle.
But at this moment it was extremely strange. The map in the compass kept rotating within hundreds of miles nearby and could not stop at all, and no white light spots appeared!
The skinny old man was extremely confused and even suspected that the compass was malfunctioning. However, when he checked the sect tokens of Yang Ye and others just now, he found nothing abnormal, which meant that the compass was intact!
In doubt, the skinny old man began to fly in the air, trying to find Li Xuanfeng's trace on the map in the golden compass!
This golden search compass is the secret treasure of the Dao Sect. Although hundreds of people here saw the skinny old man holding the compass and searching continuously, no one recognized it!
But after flying several circles, the map in the golden compass was still spinning, and it seemed that the direction could not be determined at all!
This was because Li Xuanfeng used the exquisite sealing method collected by the Five Elements Venerable to seal his sect token layer by layer. With the skinny old man's cultivation level, even if he controlled the golden compass, it was difficult to sense the location!
When the skinny old man used the light curtain of the formation to cover Yang Ye and interrogate him, the spiritual consciousness of his seven subordinates kept scanning the place, making it impossible for Li Xuanfeng to throw out the sect token. He had no choice but to choose to use the sealing method to seal it up!
This is because the skinny old man has the cultivation level of half a step into the spiritual god realm, which makes the golden compass have a slight perception. Therefore, although the map in it cannot determine the specific location, it can still rotate continuously within a few hundred miles around this place!
Although Li Xuanfeng could also destroy the sect token directly like the skinny old man and others, but in that case even the people from the sect who came to rescue would not be able to sense it and would find it difficult to find his location!
Although Li Xuanfeng is likely to be able to escape from here with the help of shape-changing skills, Tang Hui and the others might be in great danger!
If it was just a skinny old man, it would be fine. Although he could not fight against him, Li Xuanfeng could still resist with the help of the protective purple ball. There was no need to hide the sect token.
But Li Xuanfeng heard them call the skinny old man the deputy gang leader, which means there is another gang leader above him, and his cultivation is probably above the Spirit God Realm. If this is true, even if Li Xuanfeng uses the protective purple ball, he will not be able to withstand his attack!
It is still unknown when the sect elders will arrive here, so Li Xuanfeng can only choose this method to delay time as much as possible!
At this moment, a figure in a black robe suddenly appeared silently above the ground. The wide black robe completely covered the man's face and figure!
When this black-robed figure appeared, the powerful pressure from him instantly enveloped the place, making it seem as if a mountain suddenly appeared above the heads of the dozens of people here, and they felt an extremely strong sense of oppression!
Feeling the powerful aura from this person, Li Xuanfeng's expression changed slightly, and he instantly realized that this person was in the early stage of the Spirit God Realm!
When the skinny old man saw the black-robed figure, he immediately flew to the man at the fastest speed, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, then shouted respectfully: "Greetings, gang leader!"
The skinny old man's seven subordinates also clasped their fists with him and greeted the black-robed figure with great respect!
Hearing their respectful words, Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed slightly. This person turned out to be the leader of the gang led by the skinny old man and others!
"How's the investigation going? Are there any results?" The black-robed figure turned and looked at the skinny old man. His hoarse voice instantly echoed in the ears of everyone here!
This kind of hoarseness is not natural, but seems to be caused by an accident during cultivation. Others will feel it is harsh and uncomfortable when hearing it.
The skinny old man did not answer him directly, but instead told him what he had learned from Yang Ye about the golden compass, and told him all the secret methods of controlling the golden compass!
The black-robed man's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he reached out to take the golden compass from the skinny old man's hand. After instantly practicing the secret method of the Wendao Sect that the skinny old man had just told him, he raised his hand and pressed it hard. The powerful spiritual consciousness and a large amount of spiritual power instantly merged into the golden compass!
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanfeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was not good!
