In the dimly lit secret chamber.
The Pure Yang Sect Leader and the Grand Protector stared at each other in silence. After a long while, the former gritted his teeth and said:
"What class of power was that? It forcibly erased memories, returning people to how they were before they received the information. It was somewhat like hypnosis."
The Grand Protector shook his head.
"Hypnosis requires a medium. Remote hypnosis is unheard of. Besides, the contents of the phone were erased too. Hypnosis can't do that."
After the first failure, the Grand Protector had set his phone on the table and recorded the entire "interrogation," hoping to find clues in the footage.
But to their astonishment, the phone had recorded nothing at all.
Just like their memories, the video had been erased.
The Grand Protector continued, "What kind of power it is isn't important. What matters is that it may be a high-level rule-type item or causality-type item. It defies all reason... Why is Yuanshi Tianzun's real-world identity classified at such a high level?"
That was what he found most incomprehensible.
"Furthermore, as far as I know, none of the Spirit Realm Walker organizations or demigods in the world possess a high-level causality-type item. If the power interfering with our investigation into Yuanshi Tianzun's identity came from a causality-type item... then perhaps we have uncovered some terrifying secret," the Grand Protector said.
"Whether it's a causality-type item remains to be seen." The Pure Yang Sect Leader refused to believe that someone like Yuanshi Tianzun could be protected by a causality-type item.
What did he possibly deserve that for?
The Grand Protector rose and walked to the spacious center of the secret chamber, then sat cross-legged. "I need to report this to the leader."
Zhang Yuanqing assumed an attentive posture.
