"What are you going to do?! I'm Immortal Baiyun's disciple! My master is a Ninth Layer Dao Rhyme powerhouse, and I bear his mark! If you kill me, my master will never let you get away with it!"
Finding that she could not break free of the vines binding her, the Seductress panicked and shouted.
Chen Lin remained unmoved. He controlled the vines to pull her in front of him, placed his hand on her head, and prepared to search her soul.
The Dao Rhyme powerhouses on the Western Continent were all known, and those at the ninth layer were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. He had never heard the name Immortal Baiyun. She was most likely trying to frighten him.
As for whether she was lying, he would know after searching her soul.
"Spare me, Senior! I've practiced a soul secret art, so my soul can't be searched. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. I promise to hold nothing back!"
Seeing that she could not frighten Chen Lin, the Seductress immediately softened her tone and begged for mercy.
Chen Lin still ignored her and continued to perform the Soul-Searching Technique.
But his brow soon furrowed.
Her soul really was enveloped in a layer of mysterious energy. The energy of his Soul-Searching Technique could not penetrate it. Forcing his way through would only cause her soul to collapse.
That made obtaining information through a soul search impossible.
After a moment's thought, Chen Lin gripped her chin and turned her face toward him. His eyes flashed as he cast an illusory spell.
With her mana sealed, the Seductress could not resist, and her gaze soon grew hazy.
"What's your name?"
Seeing this, Chen Lin began questioning her.
"Dong Yunqiu."
The Seductress answered mechanically, her expression blank.
