Chapter 165: Qin Chuan's Panic! Charles' Experiment!

Chapter 165: Qin Chuan's Panic! Charles' Experiment!

A deep blue flame, like a blue crabapple flower, bloomed before them.

Such beauty.

Yet, beneath its allure, lurked a sinister venom.

None knew what kind of pet it was, not even Su Ping, but someone present did.

A rare and peculiar pet, a necromancer of fire element: Blue Flame Heart Demon.

Of course, an ordinary Blue Flame Heart Demon is a pet with sovereign-level racial potential.

To become the pet of such a being, it certainly wouldn't be of this level.

Naturally, the extent of its evolution was beyond their knowledge.

However, regardless of its evolution, the mere appearance of this creature and the casual words spoken sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Soul Search!

A common-sounding method, yet rarely practiced.

Capable soul-searching pets are scarce.

Moreover, soul-searching directly dismantles the soul, scouring all memories.

After a soul search, the person is usually as good as gone.

Most importantly, during a soul search, the soul experiences extreme agony.

To put it in layman's terms, it's like immersing a body in sulfuric acid or other corrosive liquids.

The pain of a soul search is akin to submerging the soul in sulfuric acid.

Countless dead soldiers, upon capture, choose suicide. One reason is to prevent secrets from being revealed, and another is because the pain of a soul search is unbearable for most!

Death is preferable to enduring such agony.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they could grit their teeth and attempt a soul search.

But the identity of the captor this time is extraordinary, and in such a situation, perhaps only this individual could casually utter the words, 'Force a soul search.'

Qin Chuan's face paled slightly.

After the soul search, if Mu Yu and the others died here, then he...

But it was evident that at this moment, Qin Chuan's thoughts were far from continuing in this direction.

In the interrogation room.

Harman still frowned, observing the interrogators before him, seemingly aware of their inner turmoil, growing more arrogant.

"Even in the Demon City, you law enforcers can't arbitrarily arrest a citizen from the Falcon Continent! Shit, I'm telling you, when I get back to the Demon City, I'll take all of you dog-skinned bastards to court!"

The interrogators' faces turned dark with anger, but they were helpless at this moment.

Any international issue is a big deal.

Since they couldn't extract any information, their interrogation was indeed problematic.

And at this moment, everyone glared at Harman, yet they were powerless.

Gu Hao re-entered the room.

Observing the captain of the law enforcement team, Harman showed no fear, instead, he sneered:

"You! A lousy yellow-skinned monkey, an inferior race unworthy of being a beastmaster. Wait and see what happens when I get out."

It must be said that this time, Harman thoroughly enraged everyone.

The interrogators stood up in unison.

If it weren't for the surveillance cameras still recording, they might have summoned their pets already.

However, to their surprise, their captain remained unusually calm.

He even looked at Harman with a hint of pity and mockery.

This gaze made Harman feel uneasy, and he furrowed his brows, staring at this guy.

Gu Hao didn't say much more; there was no need to continue looking at Harman. He turned around and walked towards a figure behind him.

Only then did everyone notice a blue flame the size of a fist behind Gu Hao.

"Lord Lanling, you can proceed with the soul search!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room froze.

Harman blinked, his green eyes tinted blue by the slowly drifting blue flame.

At this moment, Harman seemed to realize what the other party had just said.

Soul search?

"No! Dragon Kingdom people! What joke are you playing? You have no evidence! I truly haven't done anything! I really don't know what connection this damn explosion has to me!

What you're doing is against the rules! The Falcon Continent Embassy will never allow this..."

However, it was evident that neither Lord Leng, calmly observing from the surveillance room, nor the blue flame that had reached Harman's face would stop because of his pleas.

Finally, the blue flame paused in front of Harman.

Simultaneously, the flame grew, slowly burning from its flower-like size to the size of a human head.

Within the flame, a terrifying, demonic face seemed to appear, smiling, its eyes fixed on Harman with a greedy intent to devour him whole.

"No! No! Please! I truly haven't done anything! Let me go... let me go..."

The shrill, terrified wails, lasting less than half a minute, contrasted sharply with his previous arrogant posture.

These wails left some interrogators feeling satisfied, while others found it hard to watch.

However, regardless of Harman's terror and pleas, the Blue Flame Heart Demon showed no signs of stopping.

The flame swayed, instantly covering Harman's head.

The blond, blue-eyed white man seemed to have his entire head engulfed by the blue flame.

The shrill wails disappeared.

Even the flame covering his head vanished.

Only a faint blue light remained, flowing in Harman's eyes.

At the same time, Harman's body began to convulse rapidly.

The interrogation chair tightly restrained Harman, but the violent convulsions still caused the chair to shake.

While this was happening, outside the interrogation room, Lord Leng extended his hand.

A phantom spiritual image appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Blue Flame Heart Demon connected with his soul, and naturally, all the scenes seen through Soul Search would be returned to his spirit intact.

Everyone focused their minds, finally looking at the scene within.

It was evident that this memory was being rewound.

The Soul Search scenes fed back by the Blue Flame Heart Demon were indeed carefully selected important moments.

At the time of capture.

Hermann's bewilderment and Mu Yu's calmness.

However, just as the Soul Search process was beginning to rewind, some issues seemed to arise.

Lord Leng's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Hmm? Tch, what a lowly trick."

But soon, in the interrogation room, an extremely sharp insect-like sound rang out.

Then, the Soul Search scenes continued smoothly.

"This is a Soul Louse Egg. Eat it, and I have Lord Charles' soul power within me...

After consuming this, everything that happened before will be devoured by the Soul Louse in your soul, and they won't be able to extract anything, even with spiritual or soul-related abilities..."

Within the spiritual barrier, Mu Yu took out the Soul Louse Egg.

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

These words had already proven a lot.

Only Qin Chuan's face changed dramatically! Because, along with the rewinding of the Soul Search memory, the scene reappeared:

"Mr. Mu, that Su Ping's background is extraordinary, and he seems to have a certain connection with Mr. Qin's father..."

"First, as long as this matter is accomplished, the rest doesn't matter. Secondly, Qin Chuan won't argue with me, he's currently obsessed with joining the Golden Heart, and only I can help him speak up..."

Everyone, especially Lord Leng, calmly glanced at Qin Chuan sitting on the side.

However, the following conversation made him feel even more uneasy.

"I've checked, and that Su Ping's identity and background are indeed impressive, but he's still just an elite breeder. And indeed, the secret realm Qin Chuan mentioned is within Su Ping's breeding base..."

Qin Chuan's face turned extremely pale.

He truly hadn't expected that the source of this matter would actually have a certain connection with him?

The problem was, the secret realms produced in Linzhou in recent years, although relatively hidden, the news of their whereabouts wasn't exactly a secret!

He also hadn't expected that such an incident would be involved.

However, it was evident that no one would think of this at this moment.

At this moment, even Qin Erlong's gaze towards Qin Chuan changed slightly.

Disappointment, anger, complexity, all were present.

"Dad, I really don't know..."

"Silence!"

Lord Leng's expression was calm as he continued watching the Soul Search scenes.

The clinking of glasses, the scenes from the banquet, with and without Qin Chuan's presence, all appeared.

Everyone in the room clearly saw, and the situation became increasingly clear.

Especially Dong Muchun, who watched Mr. Qin with great interest.

Previously, Mr. Qin was Tianyun's arch-nemesis when he entered Linzhou.

Now it seems that, aside from the company, let's see if he can protect his precious son.

It's unknown whether Miss Qin knows that her father made such 'efforts' for the sake of the lovebirds!

Even Lord Leng narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought as he chewed on the four words that appeared in the Soul Search memory: "Golden Heart?"

The situation was already quite clear.

As the rewinding continued, there were some discrepancies, but they were mostly in line with what everyone was thinking.

Beastmasters using their abilities to secretly provide mechanical beasts, monitoring Su Ping's messages in the Breeder's Association, planning the attack...

Even the aftermath and the means were planned.

After dealing with Su Ping, how the sword seal would be transferred, how to respond to various situations and their outcomes...

All of this was accomplished in just one afternoon.

This situation even made Lord Leng nod in approval.

Not to mention, their execution was indeed quite impressive!

It's just a pity that neither of them had expected a huge obstacle to suddenly appear behind Su Ping.

Of course, not only were they unaware, but even Su Ping himself had no idea.

Finally, the Soul Search memory slowly faded away.

Or rather, Lord Leng's purpose had been achieved.

As for the rest, it was unrelated to Hermann's affairs in Demon City, so there was no interest in continuing to watch.

The blue-hued Blue Flame Heart Demon slowly detached from Hermann's corpse and floated away.

Indeed, a corpse.

In everyone's gaze, Lord Leng's thoughts stirred, and the Blue Flame Heart Demon slowly pulled out of Hermann's pupils, dragging out his illusory soul and swallowing it in one mouthful.

The mournful and piercing cry made everyone's teeth clench in disgust.

This Ghost Saint's reputation was well-deserved!

However, this peculiar Blue Flame Heart Demon seemed even more peculiar, as it could directly devour a living soul? Of course, at this moment, no one would dare to say anything, nor would they dare to interfere.

The eerie face within the flame appeared extremely excited, though it seemed a bit unsatisfied, and its peculiar evil eyes greedily gazed at everyone present.

Lord Leng's thoughts stirred again, and the Blue Flame Heart Demon flew back to him.

Excitedly circling around Lord Leng, the small flame seemed eager.

However, it was evident that the matter wasn't over with just Hermann!

Just a little more.

If it weren't for Lord Leng's early preparations and Su Ping's good luck, the Celestial Tomb Sword Seal would have likely been lost.

Even if the Celestial Tomb is located north of the Dragon Kingdom.

Geographically, it would be challenging for the Falcon Continent to make a move, given the difficulties involved.

However, losing the Sword Seal is equivalent to losing the initiative.

In fact, Lord Leng is well aware of this.

Because, in reality, even the Dragon Kingdom is searching for the keys within the range of the two Celestial Tombs.

The Falcon Continent is keeping a close eye, and there's a great secret within the Celestial Tomb! This is precisely why.

The fact that Harman is an envoy to the Dragon Kingdom is insignificant, but Mu Yu, who came from the Falcon Continent, is obviously more important.

Read the latest chapter on 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba first novel.

Regarding the Celestial Tomb, it's definitely not a trivial matter, and Lord Leng is also curious about what's inside the Celestial Tomb.

Even if Mu Yu might not know, having more sources of intelligence is of great value to the Dragon Kingdom.

Now, with such an opportunity and excuse, the other party has come to them, making them delighted!

So, after playing with the Blue Flame Heart Demon, Lord Leng thought for a moment and walked straight into the interrogation room.

Compared to Harman's provocative actions earlier, Mu Yu at this moment is extremely quiet, even to the point of being slightly excessive.

He remains silent, and his breathing becomes slightly rapid.

He doesn't know what happened, but Mu Yu knows one thing.

The Soul Louse is dead!

The Soul Louse he left in Harman's body is dead!

What does this represent? Undoubtedly.

If Harman had died along with it, then so be it.

But, if Harman didn't die, or if he had revealed the truth before dying, the consequences would be obvious.

In fact, if the Celestial Tomb Sword Seal is already in hand, then Mu Yu wouldn't mind either.

Let it die.

Even he, on this trip to the Dragon Kingdom, had made some preparations.

He even had some expectations.

But what he worried about was Charles' mission, which wasn't completed!

The Sword Seal!

Regarding the Celestial Tomb, these are more important to Mu Yu than his life at the moment.

So, at this time, Mu Yu has a glimmer of hope in his heart! He thinks that even if Su Ping is fine, the other party won't know his true purpose, assuming that what he wants is just his origami man.

If that's the case, then obviously, everything can still be negotiated.

In the future, there's still a chance for the Falcon Continent to obtain the Celestial Tomb Sword Seal.

However, the next second, Mu Yu's glimmer of hope in his heart is completely shattered, leaving nothing behind.

Because, in the interrogation room, a figure walks in.

A figure he had seen in a photo before.

The face of this figure is one of the key targets of interest for the Falcon Continent.

How did he appear here?

Mu Yu's eyes widen in shock.

The one who understands you the most is your enemy.

Even in the Dragon Kingdom, in reality, very few people have actually seen Lord Leng, and even fewer recognize this Ghost Saint.

But, Mu Yu immediately recognizes the person who has arrived.

He also knows why his confident Soul Louse was discovered and eliminated.

If this person has come in person, then everything makes sense.

Lord Leng smiles and looks at him:

"From your expression, it seems you know who I am! Tch, what a waste of energy, just for this thing?"

Mu Yu looks at the Celestial Tomb Sword Seal in Lord Leng's hand in despair.

As expected!

If this person has come for the Sword Seal, it's unscientific for it to remain hidden.

Although he had expected it, after seeing the Sword Seal, Mu Yu's breath, which he had held back, is completely released.

Mu Yu raises his head, looking like he's ready to admit defeat:

"Cold Saint, is there something you want to ask? Just say it!"

"Something to ask?"

Lord Leng smiles: "I never ask questions of living enemies! Corpses and souls speak more truthfully!"

Mu Yu is taken aback, and then a blue glow instantly covers his entire field of vision.

"Ah..."

The equally painful howl doesn't cause Lord Leng to flinch.

Soon, his eyebrows slightly furrow.

He looks at the person before him.

At this moment, in the interrogation room, a light shines, and the Blue Flame Heart Demon is squeezed out of Mu Yu's body.

At the same time.

Mu Yu's pupils turn pitch black.

He faces Lord Leng, even grinning.

His teeth, eyes, and sclera all turn pitch black.

At this moment, Mu Yu seems to be no longer a person.

In fact, it seems to be the case.

At this moment, an extremely peculiar voice resonates:

"Cold? Long time no see!"

Lord Leng narrows his eyes, looking at Mu Yu's muscles, which start to shrink, and his entire body becomes more withered.

At this moment, Mu Yu's body seems to transform into a charred skeleton, and his entire body visibly turns black.

Only the dark pupils retain a glimmer of light.

Forget about Su Ping, at this moment, everyone outside the interrogation room, including Su Ping, who is monitoring and sensing the situation, is chilled to the bone.

What kind of ability is this? Is this the true power of a high-level Beastmaster in this world? However, at this moment, everything in the interrogation room is covered, and no one outside or inside can see what's happening.

After doing all this, Lord Leng finally speaks:

"Charles?

"Tsk, there have always been rumors of your death, but you're still alive? I wonder what means you used to keep yourself alive."

Lord Leng smiled and watched the man with interest.

Charles didn't mind and seemed to have just received the full message, as if he were chatting with an old friend:

"If you, Cold, or the legendary adult of the Dragon Kingdom want such a secret method, you can come to the Falcon Continent to find me.

For my dearest friend and revered idol, I, Charles, will never be stingy. Speaking of which, has the Sword Seal of the Heavenly Tomb of the Dragon Kingdom been found?"

Lord Leng chuckled, ignoring the other's nonsense, and instead pondered the situation before him.

"Indeed, when I sensed through the Heavenly Tomb that the Celestial Tomb Key of your Dragon Kingdom might have already come into the world, I had a premonition.

You Dragon Kingdom people, most skilled in those strategic military arts. This move, should be called 'Luring the Snake out of its Hole,' right?"

Lord Leng showed no reaction to the other's 'transformation' and instead implied his agreement.

Even with a smirk on his lips, Lord Leng's expression remained calm and indifferent as he spoke:

"What a pity, no big fish caught!"

"Haha, it's over. Mu almost died in your Dragon Kingdom."

Lord Leng frowned slightly and glanced at Mu Yu, whose body was almost turned into a charred skeleton after this period of time.

Lord Leng's frown deepened as he observed Mu Yu's body.

Is Mu Yu still alive?

Indeed, Charles spoke up, leaving some backup plans.

"Unfortunately, Mu's body is too weak, and the residual spiritual power is insufficient to support him. Otherwise, I still want to talk with you, my dearest friend."

Lord Leng chuckled, and then a blue flame appeared beside him.

Behind him, a crimson pupil appeared.

"Dear Cold, what are you doing? I just want to chat with you, that's all. You should know that I'm not truly myself right now. If I were to act, it would only result in the destruction of some buildings and equipment in your Dragon Kingdom, with no real significance."

The figure in front of him paid no heed to Lord Leng's actions and continued to speak quickly, as if time was running out:

"I know that the Dragon Kingdom has always been curious about what's inside the Heavenly Tomb. Since that's the case, do you know why I guessed this was the Dragon Kingdom's 'Luring the Snake out of its Hole' move, yet you still had Mu come here?"

In fact, Mu's death is the final step in one of the Heavenly Tomb's experimental results! Dear Cold, we'll meet again, and I look forward to it. I wonder what mysteries the Heavenly Tomb of the Falcon Continent holds?"

"What mysteries? That's none of your concern!"

The darkness faded.

All the anomalies disappeared.

Mu Yu's aura vanished without a trace.

Including his life force.

Lord Leng's eyebrows furrowed as he gazed at Mu Yu's body, now a charred skeleton, deep in thought.

Indeed, the Blue Flame Heart Demon entered Mu Yu's body again, and there was no trace of life force or soul force.

The body before them was indeed dead beyond any doubt.

However, Charles's words still puzzled Lord Leng.

The harvest from the Celestial Tomb allowed Mu Yu to still be alive even in such a state? Thinking of this, a smile of interest curved his lips, just as Charles had said. If the Heavenly Tomb of the Falcon Continent had such a harvest, then what mysteries did the Heavenly Tomb of the Blue Sphere hold?

The pitch-black darkness disappeared.

The interrogation room reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Su Ping looked at Lord Leng suspiciously as he exited the interrogation room.

Although the other's expression had returned to normal, Su Ping could still tell that something unimaginable had happened during that short period.

But in the scene, Mu Yu's body, now a charred skeleton, indeed showed no signs of life.

What had just happened? Su Ping didn't know, and Lord Leng obviously had no intention of explaining.

At this moment, the enforcer agency's Qu Ming, mustering his courage, asked:

"Sir, what should we do with him?"

Lord Leng looked up and glanced at the last interrogation room.

Inside was not someone else, but the last person Mu Yu had brought.

His disciple, Chris.

Lord Leng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't answer, only allowing the blue flame on his shoulder to move again.

A shrill howl sounded again.

But no one's gaze changed.

Everyone knew that this wasn't over yet!

Mu Yu's three men were dead.

The situation was now clear.

The three men's souls, which had been searched, confirmed their criminal acts, solidifying their guilt.

Even if they were taken to confront the Falcon Continent, they couldn't say anything.

The use of mechanical beasts was still within the Dragon Kingdom's city limits.

This represented something, and it was clear. This was the Falcon Continent, and if it were some relatively peripheral countries, with this attitude, the Dragon Kingdom even had a direct reason to send troops.

But they were dead, and this matter wasn't over yet, because at this moment, there was still another figure standing uneasily.

Qin Chuan's lips turned slightly pale.

Because in this moment of silence, he could feel that gaze slowly moving onto him.

Obviously, Qin Chuan had to decide how to handle this. And at this moment, Lord Leng's voice also sounded, like a death sentence:

"For the sake of Elder Sang's face, I can give you a chance to explain."
