chapter 464: chapter 161: soul search
as the shopkeeper shen’s voice fell, those around immediately burst into a buzz of discussion.
many were unaware that one could rely on the heavenly tribulation to escape the devouring spirit blood realm; only a few knew about it.
just then, the cultivator surnamed wu discussed with a few people next to him and then approached xu ye and said,
“daoist brother xu…”
“you should have some understanding about this matter. is what he said true or false?”
xu ye looked at the cultivator surnamed wu and replied,
“using the power of the heavenly tribulation to break open the devouring spirit blood realm should be true…”
“as for the teleportation array he mentioned, i am not sure.”
“only a soul search on him would reveal the truth.”
upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed wu furrowed his brow,
“soul search…”
“this shen is at the peak of golden core cultivation, with incredibly powerful divine sense. who could possibly perform a soul search on him?”
“that, obviously, isn’t very realistic.”
at this moment, the conversation between the two was overheard by some people around them.
consequently, someone suggested,
“otherwise, we can just separate the three of them and interrogate them, or make them swear an oath with their soul spirit.”
after hearing this, xu ye shook his head,
“neither interrogation nor swearing by the soul spirit is particularly safe.”
“at this point, even if they truly took an oath by their soul spirit to save themselves, we couldn’t easily trust them.”
he then turned to the cultivator surnamed wu and said,
“do you really intend to let them go?”
the cultivator surnamed wu was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head,
“for what they’ve done, even dying a hundred times wouldn’t be too much. how could i possibly let them go?”
“not to mention myself, the other daoist brothers certainly wouldn’t agree either.”
xu ye nodded and replied,
“naturally, they understand this as well, which is why interrogation or an oath by the soul spirit remains perilous.”
however…
as xu ye and the cultivator surnamed wu were discussing, suddenly a scream erupted from within the crowd, followed by a wave of noise.
“what are you doing?”
“if you kill them, what will we do if we can’t get out?”
everyone turned to look and saw that next to shopkeeper shen, one of the bound cultivators had a through-and-through wound at the dantian, now gasping for his last breaths.
it turned out someone took advantage of his being bound and made a move directly to kill him there.
the person who acted was a slender young man.
he had been stopped by others, and with faintly red eyes, he surveyed the crowd and said,
“he caused us such misery, and still, you trust them?”
“is it that you will only awaken after they have killed us all?”
at this moment, someone spoke up,
“can you get us out?”
however, the slender young man angrily retorted,
“even if we want to get out, we can’t trust their words.”
“who knows if they will pull some trick?”
at this time.
seeing his companion killed, shopkeeper shen seemed to understand that his situation was dire. he quickly spoke up,
“everyone…”
“i know i’ve wronged you in the past, but now you must trust me.”
“i indeed have a method to leave. if you don’t kill me, i can swear an oath on my soul spirit to take you out of the devouring spirit blood realm.”
“the teleportation array i mentioned earlier requires a special method to activate. without me, even if you leave the devouring spirit blood realm, you won’t be able to escape.”
