On the ground, there were dozens of cultivators in the Venerable Realm, and among them, less than ten had broken through the bottleneck of the Venerable.

However, compared to Su Yang's side, they were still far from enough. The second and third eagles of the Three Eagles of Yanbei descended and directly unleashed the powerful aura of the Land Immortals, pressing these people to the ground, making it difficult for them even to move, let alone fight back.

Su Yang glanced at those fighting in the sky, seeing that his side held an absolute advantage.

The two top cultivators were currently battling Black Widow and Ye Wantong. These two men certainly had the upper hand, but Black Widow and Ye Wantong were not weak either and could still hold on for a while.

In addition, with Lin Mie and the eagle watching closely from the sidelines, and Zhao Yuanzhou lurking in the shadows, the two women were absolutely safe. Now, letting them fight these two men was also a way to hone their skills and help them improve quickly.

Su Yang sat down next to the old man with a faint smile and said, "So, can we talk now?"

The old man was full of rage and shouted, "You are opposing the Divine Palace..."

Su Yang slapped the old man straight across the face, dazing him and leaving him unable to react at all.

"You keep talking, and I'll keep hitting," Su Yang raised his right hand, eager to continue, "Let's see if your mouth is tougher or if my hand is harder!"

The old man looked at the light flashing in Su Yang's hand, almost on the verge of spitting blood. This bastard had suppressed his power but had filled his own hand with power. How was this fair?

"What... what exactly do you want..." the old man said furiously, "I am from the Divine Palace..."

Smack!

Another slap, clean and crisp, left another handprint on the old man's face.

"Continue!" Su Yang waved his glowing right hand with excitement.

The old man finally fell silent, gritting his teeth, "What do you want to talk about?"

"What, giving in so quickly?" Su Yang said regretfully, lowering his hand, "That's no fun. I thought I encountered a tough guy, but it turns out it just took a few slaps!"

The old man almost choked on his blood, thinking to himself that he wasn't any less of a tough guy, just too ashamed to lose face. He had seen many interrogations, but it was his first time facing such a humiliating method.

Why don't you use a branding iron or whip soaked with chili water, and see if I'm a tough guy or not? Using slaps to hit someone's face while sealing their power and preventing them from resisting, is this how you do things?

Of course, he didn't dare to say any of this because the light in Su Yang's hand had not yet faded away.

"What's your name?" Su Yang asked leisurely.

"Liang Yuanqiu," the old man replied in a deep voice.

"Liang Yuanqiu?" Su Yang was slightly taken aback. He had heard this name before; it was a Land Immortal from over a hundred years ago, quite powerful. But then he vanished, as if evaporating from the world, and now he had reappeared.

"From the looks of you, you are also a Huaxia cultivator!" Su Yang said solemnly, "Before, the Heavenly Court used the Investiture of the Gods to capture all the Land Immortals in Huaxia. Why weren't you captured?"

"Nonsense!" Liang Yuanqiu immediately replied. "The Heavenly Court only captured the Land Immortals in Huaxia. I was overseas at the time, how could they capture me?"

Su Yang didn't say anything, he just slapped Liang Yuanqiu directly, swelling his face instantly.

"What... what are you doing?" Liang Yuanqiu was anxious, "Didn't I just answer you? Why are you still hitting me?"

"You spoke too disrespectfully; it made me uncomfortable, so I couldn't help but slap you," Su Yang said leisurely, "I hope you don't mind?"

"You..." Liang Yuanqiu was nearly exploding with anger, but after looking at Su Yang's slowly rubbing right hand, he immediately became deflated. A wise person doesn't fuss about the immediate loss. He's not afraid of death, but being beaten into a pig's head by Su Yang, he won't be able to mingle here again.

"So, those two in the air, are they, like you, also seeking refuge overseas?" Su Yang asked.

Liang Yuanqiu nodded slowly, "That's right!"

"Why did you go overseas?" Su Yang asked.

"Nons..." Liang Yuanqiu caught himself just as he spoke one word and quickly swallowed the next.

Taking a deep breath, Liang Yuanqiu tried to keep his voice steady, "We didn't want to go overseas either, but some things couldn't be helped. Everyone had different reasons for going overseas, but it basically had to do with the Heavenly Court. Some either violated Heavenly Court's rules and fled overseas for refuge, or refused to become Law Enforcers and went to hide overseas to avoid it!"

Su Yang nodded slowly, knowing the previous situations. When the Heavenly Court and Qinghe Academy were both around, the Human World had its rules. Land Immortals who randomly killed mortals would be punished by the Heavenly Court. At that time, fleeing Huaxia and hiding overseas was the only safe option.

Regarding not wanting to become Law Enforcers for the Heavenly Court, Su Yang had never heard of it. But he reckoned there must be such people.

"Once you were overseas, why did you return to Huaxia?" Su Yang asked, not having seen these people with those from the heavens before.

"The Divine Master invited us back!" Liang Yuanqiu said with pride, as if this was something very worthy of boasting.

"The Divine Master invited you back to be his lackeys?" Su Yang asked in return.

"Who said that!" Liang Yuanqiu was immediately anxious, "We are all protectors of the Divine Palace, holding high status there and will become major leaders in the Human World in the future. What do you know?"

"No matter how high the status, aren't you still protectors of the Divine Palace?" Su Yang laughed, "And who is the master of the Divine Palace? Could it be you?"

"You..." Liang Yuanqiu was furious and wanted to curse but ultimately swallowed those vulgar words upon looking at Su Yang.

"Alright, let's cut the nonsense!" Su Yang said, "What benefits did the Divine Master offer you that you are willing to be at his beck and call?"

Liang Yuanqiu wanted to retort, but ultimately he didn't dare to speak out, worried that Su Yang would slap him again.

"The Divine Master is going to unify the Human World. By helping him, we will become heroes who contributed to his unification of the Human World!" Liang Yuanqiu said loudly, "What we are doing is very meaningful and doesn't require any benefits!"

"So basically, the Divine Master just gave you some empty promises, promising that after unification of the Human World, you would receive many benefits?" Su Yang frowned, "You would believe such promises?"

Liang Yuanqiu turned his head without saying anything, and Su Yang didn't press further, merely saying softly, "But do you think it's possible for the Divine Master to unify the Human World? The Heavenly Court might not agree to it, you know!"
