The interrogation was complete!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's expression tightened, and he knew what it implied.
At the same time, he marveled at Xia Baiyi's efficiency in capturing one of the Immortal Alliance's "Ten Swords" in such a short period.
"Do you know who released them?"
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, finally posing the question that concerned him most.
Once the answer to this question was revealed, the truth behind many matters would come to light.
However, Xia Baiyi's reply disappointed him.
"That remnant of the Origin knows nothing!"
Xia Baiyi replied calmly, "In his memory, he only knew that someone outside would open the soul altar's seal for them. As for who that person was, he had no idea."
A hint of disappointment was evident in Xia Baiyi's tone.
This was not the outcome she had hoped for.
The most pressing matter now was to find out who was colluding with the Immortal Alliance. Otherwise, their backs could be exposed to a knife at any moment.
It was too difficult to guard against.
"Are there no useful clues?" Ye Ming asked with a trace of reluctance.
While there was an element of luck in their capture of this "Ten Sword" of the Immortal Alliance, it was still a significant catch. It would be truly dissatisfying to gain nothing from it.
"There are! But very few!"
Xia Baiyi was direct, without unnecessary pleasantries, "From his memory, although there is no information about the identity of the traitor, there is one point that requires our utmost attention."
"What?"
Ye Ming detected the gravity in her tone.
"The soul altar seal located in the Brahma Sect has also been opened!" Xia Baiyi delivered a bombshell of a piece of news.
"Wh… What?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's back chilled, and he found it hard to believe, "How is this possible? If the soul altar's seal in that place was damaged, why haven't I received any news?"
He had multiple informants in the Outer Realm. If such a major event as the damage of a soul altar occurred, he would surely have been informed.
"Wait!"
However, as Ye Ming asked this question, his expression froze, as if he had already guessed the answer.
Previously, when the Soul Altar of the Heartless Sect was damaged, he had also received no news.
But Elder Ku Mu was an outer elder of the Heartless Sect; he should have been able to notify him.
"Could it be…"
With this thought, Ye Ming extended his hand, and a jade stone emitting a verdant glow appeared in his palm.
This was his spatial transmission stone with Elder Ku Mu.
Seeing the green luminescence of the stone, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed things were not as dire as he had imagined.
But then the problem arose: why hadn't Elder Ku Mu contacted him?
Xia Baiyi naturally noticed Ye Ming's actions and seemed to perceive his confusion. She said calmly, "I don't know how many informants you have in the Outer Realm, but the damage to the Heartless Sect's soul altar was a top secret. Only the core high-ranking members of each sect and the disciples who participated in the operation knew about it."
Hearing this, Ye Ming realized he had been overthinking.
Before, he had thought Elder Ku Mu had been compromised.
It turned out that Elder Ku Mu had no right to know about the soul altar.
The so-called soul altar seal was actually established specifically for the members of the Immortal Alliance from a hundred thousand years ago.
This was because, back then, those enemies possessed a peculiar method where, even if their physical bodies were destroyed, their souls could still roam the heavens and earth, and reincarnate into new bodies.
Because of this, several powerful figures joined forces and established eight soul altars to seal those Immortal Alliance souls.
These were guarded by the eight great super factions.
However, now that the Heartless Sect's soul altar had been destroyed, and then the Brahma Sect's followed, it was a cause for deep concern.
The mastermind behind this was clearly accelerating their pace.
"Do the people in the Outer Realm know about this?" Ye Ming asked.
This information was what Xia Baiyi had just extracted from Zuo Zun's mind, and it was likely part of the hidden scheme of those Immortal Alliance remnants.
"I have already notified them!"
Xia Baiyi's tone was icy, "Presumably, those escaped Immortal Alliance remnants don't know that we've learned this news. This is a perfect opportunity to see who is behind this scheme!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming looked at the ethereal figure before him with shock. Her speed of action was far beyond his expectations.
Xia Baiyi's intention was clear: she would use the Brahma Sect's soul altar as bait to expose certain individuals.
"Although the Brahma Sect's soul altar has been destroyed, the people inside have not fully emerged yet and still require assistance. Otherwise, none of this would have happened so silently!"
Xia Baiyi intended to use this to see who was providing them with support.
Previously, when the Heartless Sect discovered their soul altar seal had been damaged, the people inside had already escaped without anyone noticing.
This led to the escape of all the remnants.
This time, they would not be so fortunate.
"Won't this alert the enemy?"
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and asked with a tone of caution, "If there are people among the high-ranking members of the sects in the Outer Realm who are colluding with those Origin remnants, and you spread this news back, wouldn't it..."
Wouldn't it, in fact, expose the matter?
"What if only the sect leaders of the major sects know this information?"
At this, Xia Baiyi countered.
"Only the sect leaders know?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's mind went blank, and he stood there dumbfounded. He stared at the woman before him, and a chill ran down his spine.
Her calculations had surpassed his imagination.
What he could think of, she had perhaps already made perfect preparations for.
What truly astonished Ye Ming was that from the time Xia Baiyi obtained the information to now, it had been at most an hour. Yet, in such a short period, she had accounted for all the details and devised countermeasures.
This was truly terrifying.
In terms of intellect alone, Ye Ming could only think of one person who might rival Xia Baiyi: that… God of Wisdom.
But if strength were added, the disparity would be immense.
"Impressive!"
Ye Ming genuinely admired her and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Actually, the sensation caused by this intelligence is not what I am most worried about."
At this point, Xia Baiyi concluded the previous topic and said in a deep voice, "Compared to the soul altar being destroyed, what I am about to tell you is insignificant."
"Wh… What?"
Ye Ming had not yet emerged from his previous shock and was about to face a new onslaught, clearly struggling to keep up.
Moreover, judging by Xia Baiyi's tone, what she was about to say might be the true reason she had sought him out.
"The Immortal Lord… has awakened!"
