"Finally done, formation, activate!" With a thought from Adam, a confinement formation silently activated with him at the center.
The reason he hadn’t immediately captured the hidden tail was threefold.
First, since the opponent dared to show their face, they were definitely prepared, a rash attack might scare them off.
Second, he wanted to see how many people there were and if they had other motives.
Third, the opponent might attempt to bite a poison capsule, to get useful information, he had to ensure the enemy didn’t even have the chance to commit suicide.
The formation’s light abruptly flared, covering the entire forest, in a split second, everything within the formation except Adam seemed to freeze in place, even the ants crawling under the leaves halted, this was a formation Adam had inscribed using the Dao Law of Time.
Let me see who is spying on me, Adam’s mouth curled up as he walked toward where he had sensed the person.
When he got close, Adam was taken aback, the person had half their body phased into a tree trunk, seemingly trying to hide inside it, it was actually a pretty decent hiding method.
Adam walked right up to the figure, the person was entirely wrapped in a black cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes that flickered with sly, crafty light.
"Friend, it must be pretty stuffy wearing a cloak all the time, let’s get you out for some fresh air, shall we?" Adam ripped off the man’s cloak, revealing a scrawny, wretched-looking face.
"Hmm... well, you certainly fit the stereotype!" Adam rested his chin in his hand, then delivered a resounding slap straight across the wretched man’s face.
Pfft! A mouthful of blood mixed with teeth sprayed out, and the poison capsule hidden in his mouth was smacked right out along with it.
"That’s much better, come on out, Spirit Binding!" Adam nodded in satisfaction, yanking the man out of the tree, simultaneously, he cast a technique that sealed the spiritual energy within the opponent’s body.
Right at that moment, the confinement formation lost its effect, it can only last for one minute? Adam watched it disintegrate with a hint of pity.
This formation still had room for improvement, it could only confine those weaker than himself, and the duration wasn’t very long, however, the time-stop effect was still absurdly overpowered.
"Speak, who sent you?" Adam looked coldly at the wretched man, who had now regained his mobility. His tone was filled with unquestionable authority.
The wretched man’s eyes were filled with shock, what just happened? How was he suddenly captured? A flash of fear crossed his eyes, he prepared to bite down on the poison capsule in his mouth, only to find it was already gone.
Oh no! His heart sank to the bottom, yet he still didn’t open his mouth, he had undergone strict training and knew how to keep a secret.
Adam frowned, he knew these tough nuts were the hardest to crack, but he had plenty of time and patience, he didn’t believe he couldn’t pry this man’s mouth open.
"It’s fine if you don’t want to speak, I have all the time in the world to play with you," Adam said indifferently.
"I will make you taste every kind of agony in this world, as for the answers I want, I have my own ways of extracting them."
After saying that, he flipped his palm, and a profound, mystical aura appeared in his hand.
"Soul Extraction Technique!" A powerful surge of soul energy instantly assaulted the wretched man’s psyche.
"Soul Extraction! You actually know Soul Extraction! Isn’t this a lost secret technique? How do you know it?!" The wretched man panicked, once his soul was extracted, his secrets would no longer be secrets.
"Oh? A lost secret technique? It seems you know quite a bit." Adam smiled slightly, continuously intensifying the technique, placing the wretched man’s spirit under mounting pressure, it was originally a lost technique, but Adam had comprehended it anew from ancient texts.
The wretched man began to feel dizzy and disoriented, Adam’s figure blurred in his vision, and his consciousness slowly started to sink, but he knew that once he completely went under, all his secrets would be laid bare, so he resisted desperately, trying to stay awake, however, Adam’s Soul Extraction Technique was simply too powerful, making his resistance seem utterly feeble.
The wretched man’s eyes grew hollow.
"I’ll speak! I’ll speak!" At the very last moment, the wretched man finally broke.
A person’s soul and physical body were one entity, if his soul was forcibly extracted, it would deal massive, irreversible damage, if the other party was feeling ruthless, he would be barred from the cycle of reincarnation for eternity, and this person would definitely not let him off easily.
"Wouldn’t it have been better if you just did this from the start?" Adam narrowed his eyes.
"Still, to think you recognize the Soul Extraction Technique, did you come to this world from another world?"
He had already learned about this world, although the living habits and cultivation systems were similar, the average standard here was very poor, and the Heavenly Court concentrated solely on cultivating geniuses.
The variety of techniques here was nowhere near as rich as in the Mysterious Yellow Great World, soul-related techniques were considered lost even there, making it impossible for them to exist here, he had confirmed this with the Book Saint.
"Y-yes!" The wretched man nodded.
Adam’s eyes lit up fiercely. "Then how did you all get to this world?"
The wretched man replied with a trembling voice. "I don’t know, my five senses were sealed at the time, only the higher-ups know the exact location."
Adam frowned, to learn more about this teleportation portal, he would have to start with much higher ranking figures, but this was enough for now, he hadn’t expected such a serendipitous harvest.
"Why were you monitoring me?" Adam knew asking about the portal’s location was useless, it was definitely a top-tier secret.
"I... I don’t know." The wretched man said, his voice quivering.
"I am just a lowly grunt executing a mission, I know nothing about the rest of it."
"A mission? What mission?" Adam’s brows locked tight, he felt that this wretched man truly didn’t know much, but this was his only lead.
