He hurriedly sent a secret message.
"Sweet daughter, can you make these three people pass out like you did before?"
In need of help, Brother Cheng refrained from calling her Ah Huang and instead addressed her as sweet daughter.
"Nope, unless I can make contact with them."
Ah Huang's chuckle echoed in Jiang Cheng's Sea of Consciousness; she didn't seem anxious at all.
Tricking the other party into contact wasn't feasible.
Even if one was knocked out upon contact, wouldn't the other two notice something amiss?
Jiang Cheng knew she surely had another plan.
"So, do you have a way to take them down?"
"I do, but in the end, Mommy, you'll have to do it yourself."
"Huh? Why?"
At this point, he was too lazy to argue about the naming issue.
"The world's fragments can't kill; it's a restriction added by the Celestial Dao Rule."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, showing serious disbelief.
Didn't you kill your biological father before you were born?
Otherwise, why would I still have one resurrection chance left!
"However, I can help Mommy empty their Spiritual Power."
Empty Spiritual Power?
Wouldn't that turn them into ordinary people?
Jiang Cheng almost burst into laughter; this skill was heaven-defying!
With this trick, what's there to fear?
He coughed righteously: "Dad respects your no-killing concept; the difficult task of killing should be handled personally by me."
"After all, someone has to silently bear some unknown heavy burdens!"
At this point, even Ah Huang couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"How could I have such a shameless mommy!"
While they were discussing, the three people opposite were also secretly communicating amongst themselves.
"What if this kid points us in a random false direction?"
"I think he's lying!"
"Right, I admit he's handsome, but I don't trust his character!"
"How about I go investigate over there by myself, and you two keep an eye on him!"
"Elder Yao thinks we're fools?"
"Yeah, if the treasure is really over there, Brother Yao might never return after getting it, right?"
"Heh heh heh, what a clever calculation!"
"So, what do you propose we do?"
"Let this kid lead the way, and the three of us will escort him together!"
After both sides 'finished their meetings,' the three people looked at Jiang Cheng again.
"Kid, how can you guarantee that the direction is true?"
"We don't believe it, unless you..."
Before they could even say they wanted him to lead the way, Jiang Cheng interrupted them.
"You don't need to disbelieve; I'm fooling you anyway."
An unexpected silence fell across the scene for a moment.
The three elders opposite had seen many situations but had never encountered such a reply before.
It left them speechless, almost too choked up to speak.
"Are you looking for death?"
Yao Qiulin switched back to his furious mode, and his Flying Sword floated up again.
"Yes, I'm looking for death. Come and kill me." Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands with a carefree smile.
With his daughter as this 'big thigh to cling to,' he felt particularly confident and could show off with ease.
"You!"
Truth be told, before figuring out the location of the treasure, Yao Qiulin couldn't bear to kill him.
"Teach him a lesson; let him feel the pain!"
The other two elders' faces darkened as well.
Swish, the Flying Sword split into six, with six beams attacking Jiang Cheng.
Only a few meters away, the six illusions suddenly dissipated.
The long sword seemed to become ordinary iron, losing all its shine, clattering to the ground.
"What?"
Yao Qiulin couldn't believe his eyes.
Ever since cultivating to the Energy-Introducing Realm, his Flying Sword had never crashed mid-air like this.
"What's happening?"
The other two elders felt displeased, feeling it a disgrace to be on par with such a person as elders.
Now, just when they wanted to establish their might and make that kid submit, such a low-level mistake occurred.
They even felt it was quite embarrassing themselves.
So the two planned to deploy their Flying Swords and take action personally.
Soon after, they screamed in shock.
"Where's my Spiritual Power?"
"What's going on, my Spiritual Power is completely gone!"
"Me too!"
Their expressions showed not just surprise, but deep fear.
For cultivators, Spiritual Power, Divine Sense, and the body are three fundamental aspects.
Without Spiritual Power, all Martial Techniques and Divine Techniques requiring it were nullified.
Not being Body Cultivators, their bodies in the Soul Splitting Realm weren't extraordinarily strong either.
Without sufficient Spiritual Power in supporting the Spiritual Sense Secret Techniques, their powers greatly diminished.
Now, their combat abilities were even less than Yao Yunxuan in the Gathering Yuan Realm before.
How could they not be panicked by this?
"Could it be because of the Forbidden Land?"
"Impossible!"
"Although the Forbidden Land lacks Spiritual Qi, it doesn't affect the transmuted Spiritual Power within the body!"
The three gestured wildly, exclaiming repeatedly.
Yet no matter how much they guessed, they couldn't have imagined it was all due to that little girl opposite them.
Well done!
Jiang Cheng mentally gave his daughter a thumbs-up.
He carried the Spirit Sword and swaggered boldly in front of them.
"You three don't even give me the respect of using your Flying Swords to kill me?"
Seeing him approach, the three quickly retreated, but then they calmed themselves down again.
"Kid, since we've lost our Spiritual Power, you can't remain unharmed either!"
"That's right, the three of us against you, you're still doomed!"
In their minds, this had to be the regional influence, and Jiang Cheng certainly also lost his Spiritual Power.
Before they finished speaking, Jiang Cheng's figure flickered and disappeared from where he was.
Without Spiritual Power, the speed and reaction of the three elders were extraordinarily slow, too late to dodge.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Every one of them received a hard knock on the head with the Spirit Sword.
Jiang Cheng didn't use the blade but the spine of the sword.
Nevertheless, being imbued with the power of the Soul Splitting Realm, the tops of their heads swelled visibly at eye speed.
"You dare!"
"You wicked brat, how dare you humiliate us!"
The three were furious; as elders in the Soul Splitting Realm, they were figures of status in Qinglan Prefecture.
This 'treatment'—being thumped on the head—was an extreme humiliation.
In comparison, they forgot to even ask about why Jiang Cheng still had Spiritual Power.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I forgot your esteemed identities."
Jiang Cheng feigned a cheerful apology, then summoned the Flying Sword.
Six Sword Shadows slashed through the air, two for each person.
"Does this kind of death match your identities now?"
