Chapter 613 — Imprisoned And Interrogated

After knocking Yuan unconscious, the cold woman turned to look at the other six beauties and said, "Six Spirit Kings cannot handle a mere Spirit Grandmaster— a little boy? You should all be ashamed of yourselves."

The six beauties lowered their heads in a shameful manner, their faces flushed with redness.

"We're sorry for being useless, Elder Xue."

"Quickly return to the sect and tell me everything that occurred just now." The cold woman called Elder Xue used her spiritual energy to pick up Yuan before flying away, disappearing into the distance in just a few moments.

The six beauties quickly followed Elder Xue's words and returned to the sect that was a hundred miles away from their location.

When Elder Xue returned to the sect first, she handed the still unconscious Yuan to one of the disciples there and said to her, "Lock him up and interrogate him for his identity when he wakes up."

"Yes, Elder Xue."

After Yuan was carried away, Elder Xue returned to her living quarters to wait for the six beauties to return.

Once they finally arrived, she said to them, "Tell me everything."

The six beauties that were standing beside each other began explaining the situation to Elder Xue.

"We went to the Bamboo Pond to wash ourselves, but shortly after we entered the water, we heard someone screaming, and it sounded like a man's voice."

"Once we realize where the sound was coming from, we all looked up, and to our surprise, a person was falling from the sky."

"We didn't know who this person was until we got a good look at him after he got out of the water, and he turned out to be an unknown man…"

"That's when we started chasing after him, but he had this weird movement technique that made it incredibly hard to catch him."

"So we started throwing weak attacks at him, hoping to delay him or stop him from running, but he was not only fast— he also displayed incredible agility by dodging all of our attacks with ease."

"Seeing that it had no effect on him, we decided to increase our strength…"

"…And that's when you arrived, Elder Xue."

"Hmmm…" Elder Xue listened to their whole story with her eyes closed, and they remained closed even after they finished.

The six beauties didn't dare to move until Elder Xue spoke to them, so they stood there in silence for many minutes until Elder Xue finally opened her eyes and spoke in a calm voice, "You can all leave. I will contact you if I need you."

"Excuse us, Elder Xue."

The beauties bowed to her before leaving the scene.

'Just where did this little boy come from? Falling from the sky? We're in the middle of Fairy Paradise! There's no way that a man could enter the Fairy Paradise and travel such a long distance without alerting anybody!' Elder Xue pondered to herself.

Meanwhile, somewhere inside a small prison cell, Yuan slowly opened his eyes after waking up.

"Ugh… Where am I…?" Yuan looked around, quickly realizing that he was inside a prison cell, and he was currently suspended in midair with chains restricting his movements.

"So you're finally awake?"

The disciple in charge of interrogating him said when she noticed that he was awake.

"Tell me who you are and how you managed to get inside the Fairy Paradise. Although that won't spare you from a death sentence, you won't feel any pain if you make it easy for the both of us."

Yuan frowned and said, "I don't know how I got to this place. I seem to have been teleported here by accident."

"Hah? And you expect me to believe such a blatant lie?" The disciple shook her head.

"You know what? Since I am a very generous individual, I will give you a second chance. If not…"

The disciple suddenly retrieved a whip that appeared to be made out of steel and cracked it beside her.

Pap!

The stone floor broke into many pieces when it was struck by the whip.

Yuan swallowed nervously when he saw the steel whip.

'I don't want to hurt her, but I can't just let her torture me…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

It was at this moment that he noticed the shiny ring sitting on a table beside the disciple.

"T-That's my storage ring!" He subconsciously exclaimed out loud.

The disciple turned to look at the Dragon Spatial Ring and smiled, "Oh? So the answer to your identity is inside this spatial ring, huh? Unfortunately, I do not have the power to open it, but once I hand it to an elder…"

Of course, there was nothing about his identity inside the spatial ring. However, there was something even more important— the Dragon Ancestor's Blood Essence! If these people learn of the blood essence, they will definitely steal it from him!

'Damn it! I knew I should have given it to Xiao Hua for safekeeping!' Yuan cursed inwardly.

'Should I just break out of this place? They don't know about my Soul Weapons… However, I won't be able to run away from that cold woman if she shows up again… What can I do in this situation?'

While Yuan pondered, the disciple contacted Elder Xue using a communication jade slip, "Elder Xue, I have not managed to get his identity, but I think the answer lies within his storage ring. I believe it would be quicker to just break open his storage ring and find the answers ourselves."

"Okay, I will be there. Give me a few minutes."

After putting away the communication jade slip, the woman looked at Yuan and said, "Good news. We'll know your identity really soon."

Yuan ignored her and continued to ponder for a way out of this predicament.

Sometime later, Elder Xue arrived at the prison cell to look at Yuan's storage ring.

"T-This is…"

However, to the disciple's surprise, Elder Xue appeared to be spooked by the spatial ring.

After a long moment of silence, Elder Xue turned to look at Yuan with a complicated expression on her face.

"I will be back later! Don't touch him or this spatial ring until I return!" Elder Xue said to the disciple before disappearing from the place without even touching the spatial ring once, leaving her speechless.
