The moment the young man entered the cave mansion, what appeared in front of him was another young man lying on the floor.

The young man seemed to be in great pain. His face was contorted and was breathing heavily. However, the most shocking thing was the appearance of the young man. He looked the same as the young man that just walked inside the cave mansion, except he seemed a bit older.

Whether it was their eyes, hairs, noses, and height, they were the same. They were the spitting image of each other. They even wore the same clothes.

"It seems like you were right, not only your cave mansion is isolated from the other inner sect disciples' cave mansion, you are also one of the top ten strongest warriors of the inner sect." Said the young man as he was looking at the other youth that was twitching with pain on the ground.

Like many of you might have already guessed, this young man was none other than Ling Chen.

After Ling Chen had left the Grey Wolf Village, he had traveled non-stop until he made it to the Supreme Sword Dao Sect's Domain.

The Supreme Sword Dao Sect's domain was very close to the Martial God Sect's domain, with the actual border between the two is a large forest, and the Grey Wolf Village was right next to that forest.

After passing through that large forest, one would be within the territory controlled by the Supreme Sword Dao Sect.

Just like the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Supreme Sword Dao sect was located in a huge mountain range far away from the secular world. However, with Ling Chen's heaven-defying speed after breaking through the late-stage of the Martial Venerable realm, it didn't take him long before he flew there.

He didn't fly directly into the sect but landed in the nearby town close to it where he accidentally encountered an inner sect disciple of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect.

The inner sect disciple was named Wang Li, and he was just returning to the sect from a two months long mission assigned by the sect. Like all the other great sects, disciples had to take and complete missions to get more resources to cultivate, even the Heavenly Demon Sect was the same.

Unfortunately for Wang Li, he had met with an angry Ling Chen who would stop at nothing to enter the Supreme Sword Dao Sect unnoticed to save his comrades.

Wang Li who was an early stage Martial King warrior couldn't even withstand a single blow from Ling Chen as he was effortlessly captured by him.

After being constantly and inhumanely tortured, the loyal Wang Li coughed up all the information about the Supreme Sword Dao Sect to Ling Chen.

After getting all the information he wanted, Ling Chen had then changed his physical appearance to that of Wang Li. Even his cultivation base was also concealed to the same level as Wang Li. With Ling Chen's powerful soul power, even if elder Zhuo were to see him now, it would be very difficult for him to know that he was a fake.

After taking Wang Li's identity as well as his identification token, Ling Chen was able to easily enter into the depth of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect without being discovered under the guidance of the real Wang Li.

"Are you sure you don't know where elder Zhuo is keeping my friends?" Asked Ling Chen again.

Yep, even though Wang Li had given Ling Chen all the information he knew about the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, such as how many Martial Venerable they have, where they lived, etc. He had no idea where elder Zhuo was keeping Fang Lan and Hu'er.

"I don't know where he is keeping them. I've been on a mission for the past two months, so I don't know anything about the recent events. I already told you everything I know. I'm telling the truth. I swear it! I didn't leave anything out!" And he was telling the truth.

After listening to Wang Li, Ling Chen's frown deepened. He could tell that he was telling the truth, and the Supreme Sword Dao Sect didn't have any special location where they keep their captives. As such, he didn't know where to look.

' Elder Zhuo is probably keeping them in his place.' Thought Ling Chen.

At this moment, this was the only place Ling Chen could think of they'd be.

"I believe you. One more thing, how long do you have before reporting your mission to the Mission Hall after returning to the sect."

As he came from a great Sect just like the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, Ling Chen knew a thing or two about how they functioned.

" We have to report to the Mission Hall on the same day after arriving at the Sect." Quickly answered Wang Li with a nervous look on his face.

" Tch....tch...tch.....Wang Li! Wang Li, I guessed you haven't learned your lesson yet." Ling Chen said as he shook his head with a disappointed look on his face.

" You already know the deal. Every time you lied to me, I'll take twenty years of life span."

The moment Ling Chen said that he put his right hand onto Wang Li's forehead.

Seeing Ling Chen's action, Wang Li had a look of horror on his face as he yelled" I'm sorry I didn't mean to. We have a week before we report to the Mission Hall."

However, despite his pleading and begging, Ling Chen didn't stop his movement.

When Ling Chen's right hand touched Wang Li's forehead, his palm suddenly emitted a powerful sucking force. The next moment, Wang Li who looked like a young man in his mid-twenties was getting older at an astonishing speed.

" Ahhhhhhh....ahhhhhhhh... Sorry, I won't lie to you again." Wang Li's pitiful scream resounded throughout the whole cave mansion.

He was crying like a baby, begging Ling Chen to stop. The pain of having his life essence sucked away from his body while still being conscious was hard to bear. He could feel all the true qi essence he had spent years to absorb was leaving his body. Not only that, but his cultivation base was also decreasing as well.

"You can scream as much as you want but no one could hear you. I've already sealed this whole cave mansion with my spiritual power." Ling Chen said with a cruel smile on his face as he continued to drain Wang Li's life away.

This was one of the little tricks he had learned not too long ago after Ling Lei was born. He was able to find a way to drain someone's life away without absorbing that person's blood with just a touch of his hand. Though he only got half the energy compared to when he absorbed both the blood and the life essence of someone, it was still a useful little trick, especially for torture. historical

After a few seconds, Ling Chen took his right hand off Wang Li's forehead. At this moment, Wang Li looked twenty years older than before.

"You know what, you aren't that useful to me anymore. I might as well finished you up."

Before Wang Li could even have the chance to scream or beg for mercy, Ling Chen's fingernails had already turned into five inches long as they pierced through his chest.

In less than a second, a gush of pure energy and blood was transferred from Ling Chen's fingernails into his body. Wang Li's body was being drained and depleted like a balloon at an astonishing speed.

Feeling the pure energy coming from his fingernails to his body, a light smiled curved into his lips.

In less than ten seconds, Wang Li's body was nothing more than dried skin and bones.
