I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1025 - 381: The Princess’s Purge Plan! No More Acting!

"Can't do it?"

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Your power is comparable to the Ultimate Venerable, how come you can't even do a soul search?"

"You know it's just 'comparable,' I'm not really the Ultimate Venerable." Chu Yanli said irritably, "Besides, don't you think soul searching is a very simple thing? If I had that ability, would I need to go through the trouble of monitoring Tang Xingbang?"

Chen Mo finally realized.

Those he usually interacted with were the top beings in Jiu Zhou, who were used to these kinds of techniques.

In fact, the Empress had said that to thoroughly peel away the Divine Soul requires very delicate skills, and even if she personally did it, she would only turn the opponent's brain into mush, and the memories obtained would not be complete.

Instead, a Daoist Venerable, whose strength is slightly lower, is more skilled at this.

And Chu Yanli's power comes from Dragon Qi. Although the combat strength is extremely strong, the techniques are somewhat lacking.

"It's a pity I didn't know Xu You was actually the Empress beforehand; otherwise, I would have let her do the soul search first."

Chen Mo didn't expect to be caught by the Empress, and now that she's angered away, he probably can't count on her in the short term.

"Forget it, I'll give it a try."

He walked up to Wang Kui and asked solemnly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Kui's clothes were soaked in cold sweat, stammering, "This distinguished official, I truly know nothing. I am merely a colleague of Tang Xingbang, with no interactions usually..."

He knew in his heart that such matters could never be admitted.

No matter what punishment was used, enduring it can get through. Admit colluding with the Barbarian Tribe, and surely there would be no escape!

"Alright then."

Chen Mo nodded.

Wang Kui didn't expect him to be so agreeable. Just as he was about to sigh in relief, he heard a cold voice say, "Then you may die."

A translucent black arm emerged behind Chen Mo and grabbed Wang Kui, lifting him into the air.

Wang Kui was horrified, exclaiming, "You, you can't kill me, it's a death crime to kill an Imperial Official without evidence, violating Da Yuan Law..."

"Explaining the law to Sky Scale Guard? You're really muddled." Chen Mo sneered, "You still don't understand the situation. Anything involving the Barbarian Tribe should be killed wrong rather than let go. Since you refuse to confess, you have no value in being alive, so what's the point of living?"

Crack—

The giant hand tightened continuously, bones breaking under the immense pressure, eyes bulging, face turning purple-blue, mouth opened widely, yet no sound emitted.

Simultaneously, a foul aura spread.

Flesh corroded rapidly, resembling a melting candle.

"Ugh—"

Officials present turned pale, some directly bent over and vomited.

They were just civil servants working in the government office, how could they witness such scenes?

Even Yu Zhe, the commander of the Mystic Armor Guard, glanced slightly aside.

This Mr. Chen's methods seemed a bit sinister...

"I say... I'll tell everything..." Wang Kui's raspy voice barely squeezed out.

"Too late." Chen Mo said flatly.

In just a moment, half of his body had transformed into a pool of blood, revealing the heart beating within the chest cavity.

Chu Yanli's eyes remained indifferent, without a hint of stopping.

Wang Kui finally understood that the opponent was not threatening him, and with the fear of death, his psychological defenses completely collapsed, trembling uncontrollably, murky liquid flowed down his legs, causing him to involuntarily lose control.

"That's enough."

Chen Mo activated his Soul Power, his dark eyes turned into whirlpools, instantly dragging Wang Kui into the Illusory World.

The matter was of great importance. Even if the opponent was willing to confess, for self-preservation, he might hide certain facts.

Only by first breaking his mind and fully utilizing the effect of [Dream of Millennium] was the safest approach.

But this also had a drawback. If the opponent, like Fengmu County Magistrate Ji Weifeng, used Gu Poison Worm to shield memories, nothing could be asked, rather disturb the enemy.

This is also why he didn't immediately act on Tang Xingbang.

Fortunately, Wang Kui did not seem to have a Gu Poison Worm implanted.

Under the influence of the divine technique, his expression became dull, and he revealed everything he knew.

As Chen Mo speculated, Barbarian Slave trade had long existed, forming a complete profit chain over the years.

Only after a major reshuffle in the Southern Border officialdom, along with Chu Heng's incident, did the trade stop, until recently resumed "delivery."

The difference this time was the buyers needed a large amount, and required the goods to be temporarily stored in Bailu City for "secondary processing" before further shipping north.

This so-called "processor" is the Gu God Sect that suddenly emerged in the last two months.

They need to implant certain Gu Poison Worms into the Barbarian Slaves, then trade this for corresponding benefits.

About the main organizer, Wang Kui knew little, only knowing the person was from the Capital City, with a transcendent status, not only reconnecting upstream and downstream, rebuilding transport routes, but also liaising between the Barbarian Tribe and the Gu God Sect.

"Exactly as I suspected."

"The opponent intends to mimic Chu Heng, using Barbarian Slaves to corrupt court officials."

"But his methods are more ruthless, planting 'Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect' in slaves in advance, unknowingly capturing them during intercourse, turning them into complete puppets for manipulation."

Chen Mo said with a serious gaze, "If he truly succeeds, controls key court officials, it could lead to a major catastrophe!"

Chu Yanli understood the implication, her expression grew more solemn, yet still a bit puzzled, "In the Capital City, there are plenty of pretty women. Why bother transporting Barbarian Slaves at such risk?"
