Heaven and Earth Law Divine Power Kouya!

When they returned to the group, everyone was still talking.

Qin Wangchuan approached, subconsciously glancing at Elder Xu behind Xie Qingshang, his gaze instantly fixing on him.

In the simulation, the old man who appeared last to seize the treasure was dressed in a gray robe.

Elder Xu was dressed in a gray robe.

"Young Master Qin?" Xie Qingshang noticed his gaze, turned around and glanced at Elder Xu, "Is there something amiss?"

"It's nothing," Qin Wangchuan replied casually, though he wasn't about to overlook this detail.

If it were just a matter of similar clothing, it could be considered a coincidence.

How then can we explain the other problem in the simulation?

From the moment the battle for the Heavenly Suspended Silk began until the very end, none of them appeared.

Normally, this is impossible.

But if the person behind the rumors who lured others to the Secret Realm to search for treasure was hiding in this group, then everything makes sense.

It's not that they didn't show up, but rather that they were lured away by someone in the team.

They were led elsewhere and missed their chance to meet the Heavenly Suspended Silk.

This is undoubtedly the most reasonable explanation.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangchuan glanced at the group and said in a deep voice, "Who knows how to Soul Search?"

Soul Search is a powerful technique, but it's not without its drawbacks.

When you touch the Divine Soul of another, your own Divine Soul will also be corrupted by the will of that other person.

Although the impact was small, his Old Ancestor and grandfather forbade him to learn it.

Everyone was taken aback, then shook their heads.

They were the same; they were forbidden from attending school at home.

Only Ye Lingchuan hesitated before raising his hand. "I know, what's wrong?"

Qin Wangchuan nodded, offering no explanation.

Two terracotta Soldier Puppet suddenly appeared from the void, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air.

The Soldier Puppet on the left has his five fingers hooked around Elder Xu's Jianjing acupoint, while the Soldier Puppet on the right has his iron palm pressed against his back acupoint.

"?!" Elder Xu grunted, his muscles beneath his gray robe tensing slightly, but he did not resist.

"Young Master Qin!" Xie Qingshang exclaimed in shock, "What does this mean?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Wangchuan took Taixu Steps, and the blade of the Ten Directions Profound Sword was already pressed against Xie Qingshang's throat, the Blood Bead that seeped out condensed into a red line on the blade.

This woman is also a suspect.

Without giving her a chance to explain, he turned to Ye Lingchuan and said, "Soul Search."

The sword's edge was chillingly cold, coupled with his unwavering gaze.

--I'm not kidding.

These people are definitely suspicious!

Yes, Chu Wujiu and the others had no doubt whatsoever and believed Qin Wangchuan's words without question.

This person possesses both Immortal Bone and Divine Eye; it's not surprising that they can see anything.

The moment their thoughts cleared, the group stood up simultaneously, silently surrounding each other, their auras locked, ready to strike at any moment.

Ye Lingchuan had already stepped in front of Elder Xu, and one hand, like an iron clamp, covered his head.

Only then did Elder Xu finally struggle violently. "Young Master Qin! What crime have I committed?"

No one answered him.

Xie Qingshang, who was standing to the side, was about to say something when his face turned deathly pale.

The sword at her throat seemed to know her thoughts, penetrating even further; the icy touch and the excruciating pain of her skin being cut were crystal clear.

Xie Qingshang had no doubt that if he uttered another syllable at this moment, the sword would strike without hesitation.

You'll die!

This realization froze her in place, almost stopping her breathing.

Ye Lingchuan's palm emitted a burst of spiritual light, and the Soul Search Technique was activated.

Elder Xu's body trembled violently, and he finally stopped pretending.

"Presumptuous!"

He roared, his Spiritual Power surging as he tried to break free of his restraints.

With Elder Xu's cultivation at the Fourteenth Realm, it might not have been possible to control him if he had struggled from the start.

But it's too late now.

Chu Wujiu's furnace churned, and he pressed his hands down firmly.

At the same time, the formation jointly cast by Zhao Lingyun and Yun Zexuan had taken shape, transforming into countless Golden Chains that tightly bound his limbs and bones.

After suppressing the movement, several more talismans were applied.

Even the Heaven and Earth Law were completely cut off, making them difficult to use.

As the Soul Search proceeded, Old Elder Xu's eyes suddenly went vacant, and a strange "hoarse" sound came from his throat.

The Spiritual Power that had been poised to be unleashed dissipated rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

A moment later, the light in Ye Lingchuan's palm faded.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of understanding and coldness flashing in them. He said in a deep voice, "This is the person who spread rumors about the Dual Heaven-Earth Method to attract cultivators to explore and search for treasures for him."

"Until just now, this guy was still planning to have them act as his Treasure Hunting Mouse."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wujiu and the others looked at Qin Wangchuan with immediate amazement and admiration.

"As expected of you."

However, Qin Wangchuan didn't care at all.

His gaze remained icy, fixed on Xie Qingshang's pale face, as if the woman beneath his sword was not a graceful lady, but merely an object to be examined.

Was this person involved?

In Qin Wangchuan's world, there is no such thing as showing mercy to women.

If she were involved, her head would roll on the ground in the next moment.

Ye Lingchuan shook his head and said definitively, "No, she knew nothing about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword that had been pressed against Xie Qingshang's throat was suddenly withdrawn.

The chilling oppressive feeling vanished abruptly, leaving only a thin trail of blood, a testament to the near-death experience.

However, Xie Qingshang ignored the stinging pain and lingering fear in his throat.

She turned sharply to Elder Xu, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and the pain of betrayal. "Elder Xu, why... why did you do this?!"

Elder Xu did not respond—or rather, he was no longer able to respond with words.

The intense pain from the Soul Search and the humiliation of having his memories forcibly rummaged through completely ignited the ferocity of this Fourteenth Realm expert.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and the Spiritual Power that had been locked up by the array around him began to burn and boil recklessly!

"Ugh! A few mere juniors dare to do that!"

He let out a beast-like roar, and the golden chains binding his body began to hum under the strain, cracking as they appeared!

Yun Zexuan was about to reinforce the formation when he suddenly sensed something and shouted urgently, "Go!"

Before the words were even finished, Zhao Lingyun, Ye Lingchuan, and the others had already retreated rapidly, withdrawing without hesitation.

Xie Qingshang was still stunned by Elder Xu's strange behavior and the warning when an irresistible force suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her backward!

Almost simultaneously, a cold and majestic voice, like a decree from the heavens, resounded throughout the world:

"The Heaven and Earth Law? Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment!"

Boom--!

Hundred-Zhang Dharma Body appeared out of thin air, towering into the sky and standing firmly on the ground. The giant halberd in its hand, imbued with a killing Dao Rhyme that seemed to judge all living beings, slashed down fiercely!

The light swallowed all sound and sight.

Once everyone's vision returned, all that remained of where Elder Xu had stood was a bottomless, enormous pit with smooth, mirror-like edges.

Not to mention corpses, not even a trace of ashes remained, as if this person had never existed in the world.

Xie Qingshang stared blankly at the abyss, still shaken. If he hadn't been pulled away...

She suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes landing on Qin Wangchuan beside her.

It was him.

When everyone was retreating rapidly, it was he who reached out and pulled him back, saving him from the crisis.

As for where the crisis came from, let's not worry about that for now.

Xie Qingshang's lips moved slightly, but before she could utter the words of thanks, a sound came from the other side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Elder Shi Xie Qingshang's other Dao Protector, whom no one had paid attention to, was struggling to get up from the ground in the distance.

He was weak and listless, his robe sleeves were torn, clearly he had been injured by the aftershocks of the terrifying shock.

"My aching back..."
