The memories of a Body Integration Realm cultivator were simply too vast. Long Shixuan's main focus at the time had been the primary purpose of these people's arrival, as well as their identities and origins.
On top of that, he had been in urgent need of dealing with the aftermath at Prison Scale Island, which meant he had not closely reviewed the information regarding the Brain-Entangling Corpse Gu. He only knew that this Gu could prevent others from performing a Soul Search, and that once planted, even a Body Integration Realm cultivator like Zhang Du'an was unable to detect it with his Divine Sense.
Now, having heard Li Yan's reply, he offered a faint smile and reached out with a summoning grasp, pulling one of the corpses right under his palm. Conducting another Soul Search on Zhang Du'an was far too troublesome; wouldn't it be much more direct to search the corpses instead?
Naturally, these people no longer retained any living memories, but he could still use soul-searching techniques to stir the laws of heaven and earth. This ought to be the fastest way to test whether the Brain-Entangling Corpse Gu planted within their bodies possessed an innate countermeasure.
As Long Shixuan executed his technique, that disconcerting sensation of his heart skipping a beat—which he had felt earlier—did not appear this time at all. After a few breaths,
Sigh, what a pity. The host and the Gu are intertwined; when one dies, the other perishes completely!
Long Shixuan shook his head.
"Senior Long, this junior still has one favor to ask of you!"
Li Yan watched as Long Shixuan tossed the corpse back onto the ground, a subtle gleam flashing through his eyes...
A short while later, the figures of Li Yan and Gong Chenying appeared within the Tianli Clan.
