When the words "Soul Elder" entered everyone's ears, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
The Soul Elder possessed an enigmatic mastery of the Soul Path, with few rivals in the Fengyun Nation. His legacy was an exceptionally precious treasure.
Moreover, the Soul Elder's research on Soul Martial Arts was unique; some profound Soul Martial Arts were easily wielded by him.
If the Soul Elder had a type of Soul Martial Arts that could search people's memories, it would not be surprising. And if Aotian had inherited from the Soul Elder, wouldn't it mean that Aotian could also possess such memory-searching Soul Martial Arts?
Thinking of this, the Four-Headed Monster couldn't help but shudder, despair evident in its eight eyes.
"Let me tell you the truth: this type of Soul Martial Arts that can search memories is extremely harmful to you. Once searched, you could end up with a damaged soul and become an idiot at best, or die on the spot at worst. Are you considering confessing honestly?" Aotian said with a wicked smile.
"I'll speak! I'll speak! Little brother, please don't use that martial art on us!" the Four-Headed Monster hurriedly exclaimed.
Seeing this, Aotian's smile grew even more pronounced, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief inside.
Indeed, there was such memory-searching Soul Martial Arts in the Soul Elder's legacy. However, to perform this martial art required many conditions, one of which was to be a Second-Level Soul Master.
Currently, Aotian was only a First-Level Soul User and naturally could not perform such Soul Martial Arts. The reason he claimed he could and exaggerated the consequences was to instill fear in the Four-Headed Monster, making it easier for him to extract information.
If Aotian could perform this type of Soul Martial Arts right now, why would he waste time talking with the Four-Headed Monster? He would have started searching immediately.
However, at this moment, the Four-Headed Monster was filled with fear and naturally did not think too much. They were eager to reveal whatever Aotian wanted to know to avoid being searched and ending up as idiots.
The young man looked at Aotian's wicked smile and murmured:
"This guy's grasp of human nature is terrifying; no wonder he has gained the favor of the Elder and the Dean. If such a person becomes an enemy, it would surely make one restless."
"I want to ask you, where did you get this Secret Technique that combines your heads together?" Aotian posed the first question.
If this Secret Technique was passed down from the Qin Family, Aotian certainly wouldn't believe it. After all, if it were a family heirloom, Sun Jing would definitely know about it. And if Sun Jing knew, he wouldn't have only brought these people along.
After all, if it weren't for his own strength improvement and some clever maneuvering, everyone present would likely have been slaughtered by the Four-Headed Monster.
As soon as Aotian finished speaking, the Four-Headed Monster hurriedly responded, seemingly afraid of being slow and incurring Aotian's displeasure.
Aotian was very satisfied with the attitude of the Four-Headed Monster, as it seemed he had intimidated these four fellows. However, Aotian still darkened his expression and pointed at Qin Zhengming, saying:
"What are you making noise for! You answer!"
Qin Zhengming did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied:
"It was taught to us by the Fire Phoenix. It is said to be a Secret Technique of the Phoenix Clan. However, using this Secret Technique comes at a great cost; in the future, we can only become this kind of Four-Headed Monster and cannot return to our original forms."
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Do you even have a future? Even if you could revert back, you wouldn't have the chance! Of course, Aotian wouldn't say this out loud to avoid provoking the desperate Four-Headed Monster.
"How did you get in touch with the Fire Phoenix?" Aotian continued to ask.
"Wutong City has always been the territory of our Qin Family, so we easily learned that a Fire Phoenix resides here. One day while I was patrolling Wutong City, I suddenly heard the voice of the Fire Phoenix. He said he was severely injured and needed energy from the Phoenix Tree to revive. He promised that once revived, he would help our Qin Family dominate the Fengyun Nation. So I followed his instructions, transported countless Phoenix Trees, and set up the Wutong Great Formation," Qin Zhengming answered honestly.
After hearing this, many of the mysteries in Aotian's mind were almost resolved. He then asked a few more questions and confirmed that the Four-Headed Monster had no further value before striking down with his palm.
"No! We have told you everything you wanted to know! You can't kill us!"
The Four-Headed Monster saw Aotian's palm coming and was instantly filled with terror.
"Hey, I never promised not to kill you, so just go to hell obediently!"
Aotian let out a sinister laugh, and then that palm, imbued with overwhelming power, struck fiercely at the Four-Headed Monster's heart.
Immediately, the Four-Headed Monster's body stiffened, its eight eyes widened in disbelief as it fell to the ground, devoid of life.
The four peak figures of the Qin Family had completely perished at Aotian's hands in that moment!
If this news were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar. After all, these four peak figures of the Qin Family had quite a reputation in Fengyun Nation.
After confirming the death of the Four-Headed Monster, Aotian hurriedly approached Xiao Ya. After all, Xiao Ya had the lowest cultivation and was the most severely injured among the group, so Aotian was naturally very worried.
"Uncle Xiaoya, are you alright?"
Gently supporting the pale-faced Xiao Ya, Aotian asked anxiously.
Xiao Ya weakly coughed twice, blood seeping from his mouth as he softly replied:
"Aotian, I'm fine. Uncle Xiaoya has been part of the Adventure Team for most of his life; some minor injuries are nothing."
Upon hearing this, Aotian felt a pang in his heart and quickly took out a Healing Pill, placing it into Xiao Ya's mouth.
After taking the Healing Pill, Xiao Ya's originally pale face regained some color, and his injuries showed signs of improvement.
"By the way, Uncle Xiaoya, do you know who entrusted you to retrieve the Phoenix Tree from Wutong City?" Aotian asked with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Ya was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Aotian to suddenly ask this question. However, he honestly shook his head and replied, "I don't know. When he appeared, he was covering his face."
Upon hearing this, Aotian furrowed his brows tightly. What could be the purpose of the person who entrusted Xiao Ya to retrieve the Phoenix Tree from Wutong City?
If it weren't for him accompanying Uncle Xiaoya to Wutong City, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
There were many high-level martial artists in Wutong City, and it was highly valued by the Qin Family. This made Xiao Ya's task of retrieving the Phoenix Tree seem like a death sentence.
Thus, Aotian took this matter very seriously. If this was indeed a premeditated murder, Aotian would absolutely not let the mastermind behind it go unpunished!
"Um, Aotian, perhaps I can answer your question!" Suddenly, the previously silent young man stepped forward and spoke to Aotian.
"You?" Aotian's puzzled gaze fixed on this young man...
