The monk who looked like a shopkeeper was in a state of mind at this moment. The scene that happened to him made his mind roar.
He has heard of the method of reversing time, but this is more of a way of looking back. It can only be seen, but cannot be truly changed, and it must be done by returning to the virtual world for a major repair.
But now... he has obviously used all means of suicide. He was poisoned, the physical restraint broke out, and the soul fire burned. Normally, he is dead now without leaving any trace.
But... the Xu Qing in front of him just raised his hand, everything was reversed, his time changed, and he actually went back to the seven breaths ago.
This incident made his heart churn violently, and the terrifying shadow that emerged behind Xu Qing made his soul tremble, and even his eyes stung.
"How is this possible!"
In shock, the monk who looked like a shopkeeper quickly backed up and wanted to repeat his old trick and commit suicide again, but this time, it was obviously too late.
Xu Qing took one step, and in an instant he was in front of the monk in charge. He raised his right hand and grabbed his chin. With a shake, all the teeth in this man's mouth, together with the reappeared poison sac, all fell off and spurted out from his mouth.
The monk in charge showed fear in his eyes and was about to struggle.
Wisps of soul threads instantly spread out from Xu Qing's body, like sharp swords, with a bright light that penetrated directly into this person's body. Wherever it passed, all restrictions were destroyed, and it was difficult to break out in the slightest.
A muffled groan came from the mouth of the shopkeeper monk, and the next moment the soul seed in his body also turned against him and went straight to his soul to suppress the desire to burn.
All his methods failed at this moment, and he was stopped by Xu Qing in advance, and all of this happened in a flash of lightning. Xu Qing's face was expressionless from beginning to end.
In the shopkeeper's eyes, everything seemed strange and unbelievable, but to Xu Qing, everything was just a matter of raising his hand.
After suppressing all the other party's methods, he didn't bother to ask questions. From the previous series of reactions of the other party, he had already made a basic conclusion in his heart.
So without any hesitation, he raised his left hand and pressed it on the head of the shopkeeper's monk. His spiritual thoughts merged and he started... searching for souls!
Soul searching, in the world of cultivation, is an extremely cruel method. Because this kind of behavior is done by high-level monks against low-level monks, so if the contact is forced, the soul of the mild person will be dimmed under the soul searching, and the soul of the severe person will be dimmed.
Immediately stunned.
Especially if you want to know the details, the soul search must be even more thorough, and you can also use the method of division and destruction during the process.
Xu Qing is using this method at this moment.
The soul of the shopkeeper showed signs of collapse under his search. There were more and more cracks, and screams that were so shrill that they didn't sound like human voices also started to wail from the shopkeeper's mouth.
This sound is like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, containing extreme pain. If a commoner hears it, it will definitely cause nightmares for a long time. Even monks will be horrified when they hear it.
However, this place is thousands of miles high in the sky and there is no one around, making it difficult to understand the beauty of this sound.
Only Xu Qing, bit by bit, shattered this man's soul, checked all the past memories, and gradually the shopkeeper's life emerged in his mind.
The origin, identity, etc. of the other party gradually became clear. Because it was too complicated, Xu Qing did not pay too much attention to it. He swept it over and focused on half a month ago.
Finally, he saw the picture he wanted to know.
More than half a month ago, in a secret house, the figure and words of a man in black robe were seen.
But just when Xu Qing wanted to take a closer look, the picture disappeared, and the shopkeeper's soul was completely destroyed and ceased to exist, leaving only a limp body that remained motionless.
Xu Qing frowned slightly.
"This person's soul is inherently deficient... unable to withstand a more intense soul search."
Xu Qing recalled his preliminary review of this person's life.
"He joined an organization in his early years that he didn't know its origins. The organization gave him a new chance, but it also restricted his life."
"As for the details..."
Xu Qing squinted his eyes, dug out the person's storage bag, and found a black pot inside.
When his spiritual thoughts swept away, Xu Qing's face became even more ugly. There were hundreds of thousands of human souls inside...
After a moment of silence, Xu Qing's body swayed and disappeared, going to several places in that person's memory.
Every position is a harvesting point arranged by the other party. Because the incident at his companion's place was exposed, the news is very tight now, so he has not opened these harvesting points.
Xu Qing went everywhere, destroying it and recording the evidence at the same time.
Then, he left this ring land.
As for the shopkeeper's body, he naturally took it away, which is also evidence.
Time passed, and five days later, Daotian Territory, Jiuzhou County.
This county is one of the seven human enclaves and is not very far from the imperial capital, so after Xu Qing's speed and the use of the teleportation array at all costs, it took him five days to finally arrive.
When I came here, it was already late at night.
Xu Qing had passed by this county before on his way to the imperial capital, but he didn't stay too long before he activated the ancient teleportation and left.
Now that he is back, he is filled with murderous intent. The moment he walks out of the teleportation array, his figure has disappeared and he is speeding towards the place where the soul seed is locked.
Of the three people at the beginning, one was killed by Tianzhao County Sheriff, one was killed by Xu Qing, and the last one... is here.
It is difficult for outsiders to find its hiding place, but in Xu Qing's eyes, it is fused with his own soul seed, and even the traces are clear.
Since he wanted to clean up the house and find out what was going on behind the scenes, he naturally had to eradicate it. At the same time, he also needed to search for souls again to identify the black-robed man in the house he saw.
"The opponent's soul seed has not been moved in one place for several hours."
In the night, Xu Qing's figure teleported across Jiuzhou County. Half an hour later, he appeared on a mountain range.
Looking around, this mountain range is completely dark, with only the sounds of birds and animals coming from time to time, and the rustling sound caused by the wind blowing on the grass and trees.
Other than that, it was quiet.
Xu Qing's eyes swept over him, his body blurred, and he left quickly.
The next moment, when his figure was clearly revealed, he was already outside a natural cave deep in the mountains.
Xu Qing frowned. On the way here, he had already felt something was wrong. Standing here now, this feeling was even more obvious. So a cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his right hand, the forbidden moment hidden in the cave
It was corroded by the foreign energy he emitted and lost its effect.
In an instant, Xu Qing appeared in the cave.
On the ground, there is a formation in operation.
In the formation, there was a person lying down.
This man is middle-aged, full of vitality, but motionless.
He had no clothes on and his belly was squirming. Xu Qing's soul seed was inside.
Besides the formation, there was also a jade slip placed on the ground.
Xu Qing looked at this person's formation, and then looked at the jade slip. After scanning it with his spiritual mind, he determined that it was okay, so he raised his hand and grabbed the jade slip. The moment he checked, the sound of vicissitudes of life echoed inside the jade slip.
"No matter who is here, the fact that you can find this place means that you, like me, are trying to track down the Yisenliu Dao Seed. I have already asked for the answer."
"As for this person, he is in the state of collapse because he cannot bear the search for his soul. However, with the support of my formation, his soul has not completely dissipated, but he will not last long. Visitors can check it out on their own."
Xu Qing was silent for a while, then spoke softly after a while.
"Little tricks."
"Xiaoying, spread out in all directions and block your ultimate distance. No matter what method you use, find the person hiding here."
As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the shadows under his feet suddenly swelled. After conveying the flattering emotion, it quickly spread, covering the entire mountain range, and continued to spread to the outside world.
All birds and beasts within its range trembled instantly, and were seized by the little shadow, controlling everything.
Xu Qing looked at the people on the ground. He didn't believe what the jade slip said.
He even believed in another possibility of this matter. The person he was looking for had some mysterious means to take out his soul seed and put it in others, so that the golden cicada could escape from his shell.
This method may not only target Xu Qing, after all, the other party does not know the existence of Xu Qing, so this method should be aimed at the investigators of the Imperial Capital on this matter.
Therefore, this person left the jade slip behind to create a mystery.
As for how to take out the soul seed without being discovered by Xu Qing, this is an important point, but there is a way, which is actually possible.
That is, the soul seed... has never been taken out from the beginning to the end, but this kind of non-removal can achieve the effect of taking it out in a real sense.
"Clone!"
Xu Qing looked at the unconscious man on the ground, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
If the Tao seed is fused with a clone at the beginning, and the main body follows the clone, then the seemingly perfect situation like this can be created.
The flaw in this matter, which is also the key point that caused Xu Qing's speculation, is that...it is impossible for anyone to find this place faster than him.
Therefore, according to that person's plan, when someone really finds this place, his clone has already died, and the formation can explain everything. Even if he uses the time lapse technique to check, there will be no trace.
He was indeed searching for the clone's soul, and he was indeed arranging formations to prevent the clone's soul from completely collapsing. The clone was indeed alive for a period of time.
It's just that the people investigating the matter arrived late.
Xu Qing's eyes widened as he pondered, and he understood that if this guess was correct, then the person could not have predicted that he would arrive so quickly.
The traces here also prove that it was laid out not long ago.
"Whether this is the case, you will know once you try it."
The soul threads in Xu Qing's body exploded and weaved rapidly behind him, forming... the third level of divine state.
Amidst the rumbling, the colors of the sky and the earth changed, and the wind and clouds surged.
A terrifying figure appeared behind Xu Qing, fused with it, and became one body.
It's like the arrival of the gods, making the four directions blurred, heterogeneous explosions, the rock walls of the cave being unbearable and decomposing, and the positions in all directions changed at this moment.
The mountain became a tomb, the grass and trees became bones, and the cave became a huge skull.
This scene is both illusory and real, making it difficult for people to see what the world really looks like.
And in this blur, a figure stepped out.
Her long purple hair drags the floor, and she is astonishingly evil. Outside her crystal-like skeleton, there are flesh and blood formed by countless blood threads, spreading in all directions, which is shocking.
There are also huge wings made of purple feathers and flesh, with a purple moon rising behind them.
There is even more terrifying personal ascension.
It was Xu Qing.
At this moment, he walked to the formation and raised his hand to grab the ground. The unconscious man flew over instantly and was caught by Tianling.
This time it is not about soul searching, but Xu Qing wants to use the power of this personality to check the life thread of the comatose person and find his true body.
As for letting Xiaoying disperse first, it was because he was afraid that if the other party was hiding nearby, he would be frightened and notice, and teleport away instantly.
"Scar of Life, open!"
The divine sound is astonishing.
