MONSTER PARADISE

1441 - 1460

In the unending darkness, a gigantic face that that blocked out the sun emerged slowly into view. The long-legged lady suppressed her auras as much as possible and curled her body up tight, hoping that the face would not notice her.

However, the next instant, the eyes in the massive face suddenly snapped around and locked onto her.

At that moment, she felt as if time had frozen. She was unable to move a single inch of her body, much less flee. She could not even move her fingers at all.

“I’ll ask the questions now, you answer.”

As the massive face spoke these words, the long-legged lady finally realized that she could move slightly now, and hastily nodded. At this moment, her mind was completely overtaken by terror with no room for any other thoughts.

“Who are you people?”

“I’m… I’m Teng Qing. I’m the deputy sect leader of the Thousand Snake Sect. We are all from the Thousand Snake Sect.”

‘The Thousand Snake Sect…’ Lin Huang was unfamiliar with this name; he felt that it would probably not be that much of a major organization. ‘I should get Bloody and the others to do some investigation later.’

“Why are you invading the gravel world?” The massive face asked a second question.

“Myriad Tribe Palace ordered it; I don’t know the specifics. Only the succeeding sect leader from the Thousand Snake Sect will be told.”

“Myriad Tribe Palace?!” Lin Huang was certainly familiar with this name. Myriad Tribe Palace was one of the top grade-6 organizations in the God Territory; their overall strength was not under that of Death Sickle.

“Who’s your sect leader?”

“My elder brother. His name is Teng Ran.” Before answering this question, Teng Qing made a strenuous effort to avoid giving a reply. However, she discovered that she had no means of resisting at all. Whatever the questions posed by the massive face, she would answer truthfully in the shortest time possible, as though she were a puppet whose strings were completely controlled by the person in front of her.

What she did not know was that Lin Huang had used a god rule called Heart-glimpsing that allowed him to read all the information he required directly from his target’s souls.

This scenario was merely an illusion. In reality, Lin Huang did not need her to open her mouth to answer—her soul would answer all of Lin Huang’s questions with no reservations.

However, this God Rule could only be used on people who were much weaker than the user.

Teng Qing fulfilled the necessary criteria perfectly. Although she had more than thirty types of god rule at her fingertips, she had not reached Control-level in any of them. Faced with the compounded effects from the Hypnosis God Rule combined with the Heart-glimpsing God Rule at Control-level, she was utterly helpless.

Lin Huang had chosen Teng Qing as his breach point because he had managed to sense that, among the few rank-9 True Gods, the rule fluctuation from her was the weakest.

“Is the Thousand Snake Sect responsible for the previous invasions too?”

This was one of the questions that Lin Huang truly wanted to know the answer to.

“Yes, clearing up this part of the gravel world has always been the Thousand Snake Sect’s responsibility,” Teng Qing blurted out the truth with no means of resisting. “Last time, it was our grandfather. Before that, it was our grandfather’s grandfather…”

“Are they still alive?” Lin Huang narrowed his eyes as he asked.

“They died as they were evolving into Heavenly Gods.”
