The strange bird whimpered, dropped the several people, and flew away.
For a moment, only that person remained.
Seeing Qin Xuan so easily deal with the others, the leader felt a chill down his spine and turned to run!
But Qin Xuan didn't give him the chance; he roared.
The strange bird, originally controlled by this person, instantly became restless, breaking free from the Talisman's control, and no matter how much he resisted, it still brought him directly before Qin Xuan.
"Thank you!"
He knocked the person unconscious, removed the Talisman from the strange bird's back, patted it gently, and let it go.
Carrying the person to the Cloud Boat, Qin Xuan kicked him several times before he finally woke up.
"You, what do you want to do!"
Looking at Qin Xuan, the person screamed in terror and tried to escape.
"Thump!"
Qin Xuan kicked him directly to the ground, staring at him coldly.
"What do I want to do? I should be asking you that. So many of you attacked me at once, ganging up on me, and now it's 'what do I want to do?'"
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, stepping heavily on him.
"Since you've fallen into my hands, you'd better honestly explain yourself clearly."
"Tell me about your situation. What is your Sect? Why are you here?"
"Why did you target my Cloud Boat?"
As he spoke, Qin Xuan pressed down on the person with his foot.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
This person was quite sensible; realizing the situation was not good, he immediately began to confess.
"My name is Lu Bao; I am a Disciple of the Tianfu Sect. This time, several of my Senior Brothers and I came here to travel. Because we saw your Cloud Boat unattended, we became greedy and wanted to get our hands on the Cloud Boat."
Get the Cloud Boat?
Qin Xuan was stunned, then understood.
That made sense.
Generally speaking, Cultivators of the Yuqing Realm could form Spiritual Wings with their own Spiritual Qi, so they could fly and didn't need a Cloud Boat.
Those who needed a Cloud Boat were usually Disciples below the Yuqing Realm.
For example, all of them were in the Early Stage of the Tianxuan Realm, so they naturally used Talismans to control those strange birds to chase and intercept Qin Xuan.
Furthermore, since Qin Xuan's Cloud Boat had no one patrolling it the entire time, these people became greedy.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
That explained it.
However, he had never heard of this Tianfu Sect.
"What is this place? And what kind of Sect is the Tianfu Sect?"
Qin Xuan had been rushing all this time and wasn't very clear about the specific location.
"This is near Ironwood City in Chishui Dao. Our Tianfu Sect is a subordinate Sect of the Shenfu Sect."
"A subordinate Sect of the Shenfu Sect? I have heard of the Shenfu Sect."
Qin Xuan nodded.
He had naturally heard of the Shenfu Sect; it was the number one Sect in Chishui Sect, specializing in Talismans.
He hadn't expected there to be a Tianfu Sect here.
"So, you few who just entered the Tianxuan Realm thought you could deal with me, which is why you ganged up on the Cloud Boat?"
Qin Xuan frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
He hadn't been in this area for long; how could these people have prepared so many strange birds in advance to ambush him?
If it was only one or two people, he might believe it, but so many people was clearly abnormal.
"Do you think you can fool me?"
Qin Xuan sneered, kicking him so hard he coughed up blood.
"So many people appearing here, how could it just be for travel? Even if you were traveling, why come here instead of somewhere else? What is here that you value so much?"
Qin Xuan pressed him, these lies couldn't fool him.
So many people appearing here was definitely not simple.
"We really just came here to travel. I offended you just now, and I am willing to use all my possessions to atone."
Atonement?
Qin Xuan scoffed, shaking his head coldly.
"Qin Xuan, just use Soul Search. Talisman masters need to draw Talismans, so their Mental Energy is far superior to ordinary people. Their Mental Energy can withstand Soul Search!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he began to think seriously.
Soul Search was a technique to extract the opponent's spiritual body and then use powerful Mental Energy to suppress the opponent, directly extracting the desired information from their spiritual body.
This technique required very high Mental Energy; on one hand, it needed absolutely powerful Mental Energy to suppress the opponent.
On the other hand, the spiritual body being searched could not be too weak.
If it was too weak, it would be directly shattered into Mental Energy fragments by the powerful Mental Energy, making it impossible to obtain effective information.
The spiritual bodies of ordinary Cultivators were not strong enough; their spiritual bodies would collapse before any effective information could be extracted.
However, the person in front of him was a Talisman master; his spiritual body was much stronger than those of ordinary Cultivators. Since it was stronger than ordinary Cultivators, there was a possibility of Soul Search.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.
Lu Bao instinctively sensed something amiss, and he hastily opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Before he could speak, Lu Bao stared blankly ahead, his eyes vacant, showing no reaction.
Qin Xuan's Mental Energy had completely suppressed Lu Bao's Mental Energy, directly attempting to perform Soul Search.
Although Lu Bao's Mental Energy tried to resist somewhat.
However, facing Qin Xuan's powerful Mental Energy suppression, it was still helpless.
After a long while, Qin Xuan finally found what he was interested in before Lu Bao's Mental Energy completely collapsed.
"Currently, the Tianfu Sect and the Earth Talisman Sect are fighting over a treasure nearby. He isn't quite clear what it is, but it seems the Tianfu Sect isn't a small Sect. A treasure that can make such a Sect value it so highly must be extraordinary."
"They were originally sent out by the Tianfu Sect to patrol here, and they just happened to see the Cloud Boat, which is why they became greedy."
After obtaining the crucial memories, Qin Xuan looked down at Lu Bao, who had become an idiot, and mercifully gave him a quick end.
"Do you want to get involved?"
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan was also a bit tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Forget it, we're looking for Wind-Thunder Beasts this time. Let's put these matters aside for now."
After all, for Qin Xuan, finding Wind-Thunder Beasts and advancing to the Golden Thunder Body was his key focus right now; other matters were not as urgent.
Moreover, from Lu Bao's memory fragments, Qin Xuan had discovered that the Tianfu Sect's power was not weak, and the Earth Talisman Sect's power was also comparable.
"Before, when we were fighting for the Wind-Thunder Beast Origin Pearl, those two Families were just small Families in Xuanlong City, and their strength was only slightly stronger than mine."
"But this Sect has a Grand Elder in the Taiqing Realm. Even if this Grand Elder is in seclusion for life-and-death cultivation and doesn't usually leave the Sect, their Sect still has many experts in the Shangqing Realm."
