Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1395: The Ancestor’s Outburst

The living cannot enter Fengdu.

Once you enter Fengdu, survival is impossible.

Judge Cui thought, Jiangli should be more aware of this than anyone else.

Of course, Jiangli knew this. She explained, "I know, but right now danger surrounds us, and I don’t have time to protect them. I need to find a safe place for them. The area near Youming Mountain, though not quite a ghost city or deadland, would suffice. Just find a place for them to stay nearby. Once things settle, I’ll come to fetch them."

Judge Cui hesitated upon hearing this.

Jiangli looked at him steadily, "Please."

Judge Cui’s expression changed, "Alright, I understand. Your Highness, rest assured, I will arrange everything properly and protect them no matter what happens."

Jiangli expressed her gratitude.

Judge Cui then left with Fu’er and Xun Tianhai.

Jiangli relaxed and turned her attention to Qin Sai.

Qin Sai only had a wisp of his soul left.

Jiangli stepped forward, observing his pained and twisted appearance. She asked icily, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

Qin Sai’s features were contorted, and he gritted his teeth, showing no intention of speaking.

Jiangli’s face darkened, and she stomped on his head, "I ask you again, who sent you? If you tell me honestly, I’ll leave you with a breath of life. If you refuse, I’ll still spare your life, but I’ll send you to the eighteenth level of Fengdu’s hell, making sure you wander each region eternally, never to be reborn! And not just you, the souls of your soldiers in Dangshan will also never reincarnate!"

Qin Sai trembled, "You, you wouldn’t dare!"

Jiangli’s voice was cold, "See if I dare! Those soldiers entrusted all their trust in you. Hundreds of years ago, you failed them once, yet they were still willing to trust you, follow you, and remain unreborn in Dangshan. Do you want to fail them again, making them accompany you and never reincarnate?"

Qin Sai: "..."

It must be said, Jiangli knew exactly where to hurt.

Qin Sai was able to gain the allegiance of so many soldiers; even in death, they followed him because he cared for them in return.

A general indifferent to his soldiers cannot be a good general, nor could he have such a reputation.

Hundreds of years ago, he lost a battle, causing everyone to die alongside him.

He couldn’t let them suffer again due to his failures.

Qin Sai gritted his teeth, "I can tell you, it was Qu Lin! Yes, he sent me. He wanted me to find a divine weapon called the Heavenly Splitting Hairpin! I’ve told you everything I know. You can kill me, but spare my soldiers. They’ve been trapped in Dangshan for so many years, it’s enough."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli lifted her foot and asked, "Where is Qu Lin now?"

Qin Sai shook his head, "I don’t know... he never really told me. He said as long as I found the Heavenly Splitting Hairpin, he would come find me. It seems he knows my movements, but I don’t know how that’s possible..."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli remained silent, took out a talisman, and captured Qin Sai’s soul inside it.

Then she tossed it to Master Wu.

Master Wu, flustered, juggled it in his hands, "Abbot, what is this..."

"This is a Soul-Calming Talisman. He can’t escape; just keep an eye on him."

Jiangli offered a brief explanation, then turned to Xia Xin and Fu Shiyan, "Let’s go inside and talk."

Having spoken, she turned and entered the side hall.

Xia Xin gestured for Fu Shiyan to go first.

Only after Fu Shiyan walked ahead did Xia Xin follow him, giving off a completely different vibe from the boisterous youth he had appeared to be earlier.

Master Wu, panicking, clutched the Soul-Calming Talisman and dared not follow. He thought Jiangli and the others should be discussing something very important.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait in the courtyard.
