Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 249: Chapter 217 Interrogation

Afterward, the enormous hand formed by the waters of the endless Azure Blue Lake, grasping the golden Demon Carp, flew backward towards Ye Chen.

No matter how much the golden Demon Carp struggled, it couldn't break free from the powerful grasp of the enormous hand!

This caused the golden Demon Carp to completely change its expression!

It also completely terrified the nearby Tomb Explorers!

A Demon King at the Rotating Pill level was actually caught by a mere youth in the early stages of Spirit Sea realm with a single Sky-Lifting Hand, and this Demon King couldn't resist at all. This scene was utterly shocking.

All the Tomb Explorers, even Fairy Nishang, a powerful Half-Step Rotating Pill with extensive knowledge, had never witnessed such a scene.

In an instant, the enormous hand grasping the golden Demon Carp flew back to the front of Ye Chen.

Even after flying back, the enormous hand didn't release the golden Demon Carp but instead firmly bound it in front of Ye Chen.

"You tyke, what exactly are you trying to do!"

"I was ordered by the ancient tomb master to guard this Azure Blue Lake. If you deal with me, do you still want the Legacy Treasure from the ancient tomb master?"

Atop the enormous hand, the frantically struggling golden Demon Carp shouted at Ye Chen.

At this moment, while the golden Demon Carp was bellowing, the other Tomb Explorers also turned their gaze towards Ye Chen.

They didn't understand why Ye Chen would act against the golden Demon Carp so decisively when simply repelling it to retrieve the Azure Blue Mansion would have sufficed. Ye Chen shouldn't have been so discourteous to this great demon who was a subordinate of the ancient tomb master.

Hearing the roar of the golden Demon Carp, Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he directly looked at the golden Demon Carp, demanding, "You were ordered to guard the Azure Blue Lake by the ancient tomb master?"

"Good, I've been wanting to ask you, who exactly is the ancient tomb master that you serve!"

"Don't you dare lie to us again saying that this tomb belongs to Heavenly Saint Linghua!"

Whir!

Ye Chen's words instantly changed the expressions of the other Tomb Explorers dramatically.

Aside from the concealed Demon Sect disciple Xue Yue, whose eyes glinted sharply, many people's faces turned ashen in an instant.

Clearly, Ye Chen meant that he already knew that this ancient tomb didn't belong to Heavenly Saint Linghua!

Although many Tomb Explorers had already guessed from various signs that this was not Heavenly Saint Linghua's tomb, hearing this news directly still shocked many of them deeply.

It wasn't Heavenly Saint Linghua's tomb; yet, the White Jade Spirit Tablet of Heavenly Saint Linghua had been circulated. Someone impersonated Heavenly Saint Linghua to deceive them into the tomb. What exactly did the tomb master want?

And, who on earth was the tomb master?!

The Tomb Explorers all had a bad feeling, and upon being interrogated by Ye Chen, even the golden Demon Carp's expression went through several changes.

In the end, it looked at Ye Chen and coldly sneered, "Who the tomb master is, you'd better not think about getting it out of me!"

Watching the Demon Carp still stubborn, Ye Chen's brow furrowed, and the giant hand gripping the golden Demon Carp suddenly tightened, causing the over two hundred meters long golden Demon Carp to burst open with numerous bloodstains all over its body.

Looking at this, if Ye Chen put in a bit more strength, he could completely crush the golden Demon Carp!

"Speak quickly!"

"Who exactly is the tomb master?!"

This time, without Ye Chen needing to ask again, many of the Tomb Explorers directly flew to the golden Demon Carp's front, shouting angrily at it.

With the true identity of the ancient tomb master in question, the other Tomb Explorers couldn't remain calm either.

Fairy Nishang, however, moved closer to Ye Chen. She knew that since Ye Chen had asked like this, he must certainly know some answers.

The golden Demon Carp bound by the enormous hand, with bloodstains bursting all over its body, roared angrily at Ye Chen, "You tyke, don't push me, or I'll self-destruct my Rotating Pill, and I'll definitely kill all of you!"

Rotating Pill self-destruction!

This statement from the golden Demon Carp directly caused the Tomb Explorers who were interrogating it to jump in fright.

Previously, their minds had been clouded by the concern over the ancient tomb master's affair, to the point that they forgot the golden Demon Carp was a Rotating Pill level Demon King.

The self-destruction of a Rotating Pill level Demon King's Rotating Pill was absolutely the strongest move of a Demon King, a desperate measure only used at a life-and-death moment that would destroy both the Demon King and its enemies!

If the golden Demon Carp really self-destructed its Rotating Pill, being so close, they were in for major trouble. There was a high likelihood that they would all be completely killed on the spot by the power of the self-destruction.

Considering such an outcome, many began to retreat quickly.

Watching the fearful look of the Tomb Explorers, the golden Demon Carp wore a cold smile. However, before it could let out this sneer, Ye Chen directly interrupted it.

"Rotating Pill self-destruction?"

"If you have the guts, then self-destruct. I managed to catch you, so I can assure you, your self-destruction will absolutely not harm any of us!"

Ye Chen's gaze was indifferent as he looked at the golden Demon Carp, without a single ripple of emotion in his eyes.

Ye Chen's words halted the Tomb Explorers trying to flee in their tracks, and the golden Demon Carp, seeing Ye Chen showing no fear, was choked up for a moment, completely unsure of how to threaten him further.

It was not until its demonic eyes twitched three rounds that it again stubbornly spoke, "Hmph, even if you kill me, I won't tell you who the tomb master is!"

"If you dare to kill me, Lord Tiger Demon Teng will surely avenge me! Even if you can defeat me, you're certainly no match for a single move from Lord Tiger Demon Teng!"

Lord Tiger Demon Teng?

The words of the golden Demon Carp narrowed Ye Chen's eyes slightly.

Behind Ye Chen, the core disciples from the fifth rank major sects such as Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and Yun Luo, each one of them showed a hint of shock in their eyes. It was clear that the three words "Tiger Demon Teng" made them think of something.

At that moment, Ye Chen, with narrowed eyes, turned his gaze back to the golden Demon Carp and said in a deep voice, "You think by not telling me who the tomb owner is, I wouldn't know?"

"Speak, is it Heavenly Saint Moya from the Defying Demon Sect in the ten great Demon Sects who lured us into this ancient tomb, what exactly are his plans!"

"If you don't speak now, don't think for a moment that I won't dare to kill you!"

Ye Chen's sudden mention of the four words "Heavenly Saint Moya" caused the golden Demon Carp's expression to drastically change, and it couldn't help but exclaim, "How do you know of the Heavenly Saint's identity..."

Having spoken only half a sentence, the golden Demon Carp's voice abruptly cut off.

Even though the golden Demon Carp stopped speaking in time, its words, combined with Ye Chen's, had already confirmed the true identity of the tomb's owner.

The Heavenly Saint of the Defying Demon Sect, Heavenly Saint Moya, was indeed the real owner of this ancient tomb!

This news completely stunned many of the Tomb Explorers!

After realizing that the tomb owner was not Heavenly Saint Linghua, they had a bad feeling, but they did not expect the worst— that the tomb owner was Heavenly Saint Moya from the ten great Demon Sects, the blood enemy of the Thirteen Southern Kingdoms!

As the blood enemies of the Thirteen Southern Kingdoms, Heavenly Saint Moya from the Demon Sects would definitely not kindly bestow Legacy Treasures upon them.

Luring them into the tomb must have ulterior motives!

The thought of searching for treasures within the tomb of a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint sent shivers down the spines of many.

"Heavenly Saint Moya!"

"Defying Demon Sect!"

"The one controlling the beasts to lead us into the tomb island, commanding demon creatures to ravage the place, I should have guessed that the owner of the tomb was from the Defying Demon Sect!"

"And that Tiger Demon Teng is said to be one of the Eight Great Totems of the Defying Demon Sect!"

Fairy Nishang's expression fluctuated. Truly knowing the identity of the tomb owner, she became even more worried.

After all, this was the tomb of a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint, and even with the truth revealed, it was likely they would still be unable to cope!

"The other Demon Sect Heavenly Saint whom Heavenly Saint Linghua battled against was Heavenly Saint Moya."

"It's them who together split open the Demon Burial Abyss."

"Unexpectedly, the tomb hidden deep within the Demon Burial Abyss isn't Heavenly Saint Linghua's, but Heavenly Saint Moya's!"

Liu Yan from the Flame Sect, Yun Luo from the Cloud Sky Sect, and others also had faces like iron.

As everyone's expression swiftly turned and their hearts sank, Ye Chen walked step by step towards the golden Demon Carp.

He stared at the golden Demon Carp and demanded in a deep voice, "Speak, what schemes and conspiracies does Heavenly Saint Moya have after luring us in?"

"Also, our other companions, the ones on the peripheral ten large islands, the ones on the giant lotus leaves, have you laid your hands on them?"

Since knowing the identity of Heavenly Saint Moya, Ye Chen had had an ominous feeling about the lives and deaths of the other eliminated Tomb Explorers.

When he left Azure Blue Mansion and heard the golden Demon Carp speak of not enough people being dead, this bad feeling intensified.

Obviously, considering the golden Demon Carp seemed to want more people dead, it must have already killed many.

Very likely, the others had already died within the ancient tomb.

Those other people who were eliminated in the previous challenges were cultivators from the Southern Kingdom, with many from the same sects as those who were still alive. When they heard Ye Chen's words, everyone's eyes locked onto the golden Demon Carp, and their hearts were lifted with anxiety.

Seeing the expressions of the people, the golden Demon Carp laughed heartily, "The others? The others are long dead!"

"Hmmph, now that you know of Heavenly Saint Moya's identity, there's no need to hide it from you anymore. Heavenly Saint Moya said when he left the tomb, all of you must die, you all must be sacrificed for him!"

"Those people, the moment they were eliminated, they stepped ahead of you, and were killed to be sacrificed to the great one!"

"Don't worry, you won't be far from death either!"

Boom!

The words of the golden Demon Carp left everyone's minds blank.

All the others are dead?

They were all killed and sacrificed after being eliminated?

Ye Chen thought of those left on Fourth Sea Island, and of his sect member Jin Lieyang on the giant lotus leaves.

Fairy Nishang thought of the girls from Moon Concealing Sect, many of whom were still very young children!

Liu Yan, Yun Luo, and the independent cultivators also thought of their fellow sect members, their companions...

Unbelievable, everyone had actually died!

All had perished within the schemes of the tomb owner!

And listening to the golden Demon Carp, they would be killed next, continuing to die within the tomb!

This had completely stunned many of those present!
