Chapter 621

  Songyuan Shangren? Zuo Xiaoyao's face flashed with a hint of surprise. Although she had limited understanding of the situation in the Xiuzhen realm, she knew that this person was famous and currently possessed the cultivation of the Round Completion Boundary at the age of less than two hundred years old. Some people even called him the first person under several Golden Dan Old Ancestors, with a reputation not inferior to other Jindan cultivators who might advance to the Golden Dan stage in the five major forces of the Xiuzhen realm. His talent was extremely good, and it was also very likely that he would become a Golden Dan True Person in the near future. Due to his existence, the little-known Bai Shan Men unexpectedly occupied a place in the Xiuzhen realm.

  A hint of delight and joy flashed across Liu Cheng's face, and Xue Xiao Yao replied calmly, "What about it?"

  "You can't kill me! My master has always treated me with kindness..."

  He couldn't be bothered to think about the treasure of the He family that was so tempting, nor could he understand how Zuo Xiaoyao suddenly had such a cultivation level. After all, others didn't know that for years, he had been sending people to keep an eye on the Zuo family, and he was naturally clear about her true age. Sensitive to the discovery, she stopped at the edge of his released spiritual power mask, where the cold water needles scattered out a sense of oppression and killing intent. Liu Cheng, who had just come out of the sect, was somewhat flustered and wanted to add some more chips for himself.

  At this time, he was extremely regretful for underestimating Zuo Xiao Yao. He never thought that she could possess a cultivation level higher than his at such a young age, and still own a treasure like the Extreme Quality Artifact. Thinking of these things, although his heart was filled with jealousy and resentment, he also knew that if he didn't handle things properly today, he would probably end up dying here.

  Unfortunately, being forced by reality, Zuo Xiaoyao, who had already developed a cautious personality, did not want to give him another opportunity to threaten himself or make any other unnecessary moves. As soon as he took out a transmission talisman from his storage bag, she also cast a binding spell on him. Although this binding spell was a low-level technique, the effect of it being cast by Zuo Xiaoyao, who had a foundation-building cultivation base, was naturally different.

  Like the middle-aged man who was controlled before he could say a word, as soon as the Soul Binding Technique was released, Liu Cheng felt that his spiritual power was no longer under his control. The transmission talisman in his hand didn't even have time to send out a signal. At the same time when the soundproof bead he had previously released recovered due to the loss of his spiritual power control, Liu Cheng and the middle-aged man suddenly fainted!

  With a flicker of her mind, the three-inch nail-like Cold Water Stab was withdrawn, and the two were enveloped in a cloud of silk threads. Carrying them on her shoulders, she released an illusion to conceal herself, and Zuo Xiao Yao left the residential area as if alone. Except when she just walked out of the garden, she looked back at the apartment that was still lit up with a complex expression, her silhouette unusually resolute.

  She hailed a taxi, and under the driver's somewhat puzzled gaze, she waved her hand to put the two people completely wrapped in the void silk on top of the taxi. With the cover of illusion magic and the control of spiritual consciousness over the void silk that had been sacrificed, Zuo Xiaoyao, who was truly sitting alone in the car, did not worry at all that anyone would discover the anomaly on top of this taxi. According to her understanding of the current cultivation world, not only were illusions a kind of rare secret method, but they were also controlled by a few large forces. Secret methods like the Wisdom Eye Technique she had learned from the Nameless Cultivation Method, which could see through illusion magic, were even rarer.

  When it comes to these different functions of the law, Zuo Xiaoyao, who has gained a lot of insight through this transaction on Jiutai Mountain, also feels unexpected. The unnamed law contains two types of laws: one is self-contained and the other is attached. All self-contained laws are laws that can be called upon at will when Zuo Xiaoyao's cultivation reaches a certain level, such as light body technique, illusion technique, wisdom eye technique, etc. Another type of law requires spiritual power to recite incantations before it can be displayed, such as water arrow technique, fire control technique, soul entanglement technique, golden needle technique, etc.

  While the innate spells are basically the spells that are cast when the spiritual power is applied to a certain part of the body, the attached spells belong to the spells that can only be cast by applying the spiritual power outside the body. Because of their different effects, it's impossible to compare which one is more precious. However, based on her understanding of the common knowledge of cultivation, she found that almost all the spells in the current cultivation world require reciting incantations to cast, even if some spells have similar powers and reactions, the incantations used to run the spiritual power are completely different.

  When encountering problems that are unclear and entangled but not particularly urgent, she would temporarily set them aside. This had always been Xiao Yao's way of doing things. So although she was puzzled in her heart, she never thought of revealing her cultivation method or the unusual aspects to outsiders. She had never asked anyone about this question before. Instead, after refusing Rong Tian and Qin Xiao's free help, she purchased a number of common spells such as soundproofing techniques and restrictive incantations from some fellow cultivators at a not-too-exorbitant price.

  Returning to the temporary rental that couldn't be called a 'home', after setting up a warning barrier around her surroundings that could block out sound and prevent peeping, Zuo Xiao Yao finally dispelled the illusion of the void silk outside.

  Compared to the modern police's commonly used methods such as psychological tactics and lie detectors, the interrogation methods used in the Xianxia world are much more ingenious. For example, Zuo Xiaoyao intends to use a certain "Soul-Searching Technique" on these two people, which is a very effective and practical spell that doesn't require much effort. Although it can only be cast by cultivators with a foundation stage or higher cultivation base, and only works on cultivators with lower cultivation bases than the caster.

  Two hours later, looking at the two people lying on the ground who had lost consciousness, Zuo Xiao Yao's heart was filled with anger and frustration. She didn't have time to carefully digest the large amount of information she had obtained from peeping into their unopened spiritual seas in the past two hours, and was entangled in not knowing how to deal with these two people.

  To put it bluntly, the Mind-reading Technique that can deprive others of their memories can only be used on people whose cultivation is not as high as one's own or whose spiritual strength is not greater than one's own. Any cultivator who has been mind-read will suffer irreparable damage and may even die from it, but it cannot be used on ordinary people.

  Although Zuo Xiaoyao couldn't determine how the two would react, she knew she couldn't let them go. Killing them was out of the question for now, after all, she had received modern legal education and her grandmother's teachings on being kind to others since childhood, making it impossible for her to be like some people who disregarded the law for money and power, taking lives without hesitation. Moreover, one of Liu Cheng's apprentices hadn't appeared tonight, so not everyone who knew about the possible existence of a precious artifact in the Zuo family, or what Liu Cheng called the "He Family Treasure", was under her control. Zuo Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that this would be a hidden danger.

  Even if the other person's true identity made Xue Yao's heart flash with a hint of hesitation, she soon steeled herself and persisted in her determination to eradicate the problem at its roots, not letting any fish slip through the net. Moreover, that person had an old grudge against her!

  At this moment, a phone call conversation that suddenly came to her ear again caught the attention of Zuo Xiaoyao, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She then sat down at the computer to track the route taken by Wang Quanren when he drove out of town late at night.

  Half an hour passed before she set the lock-on target command, and then cast a restriction spell on both Liu Cheng and his senior apprentice. Thinking of what he had done to her grandmother's family, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes as Zuo Xiao Yao resolutely released two strands of spiritual energy towards the two men, destroying their dantian and making them let out a pained cry despite being in a continuous state of unconsciousness. Only then did she grasp the palm-sized controller and quietly descended onto a downhill slope on a highway on the outskirts of S City.
