Chapter 118 The Ignored Mastermind
"I was outside collecting spirit coins when I suddenly heard two people arguing and then they started fighting. Then there were a lot of people watching and some people seemed to be making a fuss. I didn't think much about it at the time and went to help the guy out, but I was still a step too late. The guy was knocked unconscious by a punch from the big man who robbed the spicy hot pot, and was accidentally injured by another man's fist. I was very angry and went to argue with them, but I didn't fight. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my head as if I was pricked by a needle, and then my eyes went black, and I knew nothing. When I woke up again, I was here." Xiaohua briefly recounted what happened, and the others present frowned and thought as they listened.
Yun Bai felt that this matter was not so simple, and then he immediately remembered that there was a skinny middle-aged man who was unconscious, so he asked two men to help carry him over. The man was still unconscious, and it was unknown whether he was really unconscious or pretending. Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Yun Bai explained:
"In the chaos just now, this person wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack my soul, but he was attacked back. I guess Xiaohua's soul was injured, which should be related to him."
"Soul attack! Little Bai girl, don't you know that you just walked through the gates of hell!" After hearing this, Yuan Ye, Hua Zhenbang and Mu Yun were all shocked at first, and then felt fortunate. Then they looked at Yun Bai meaningfully. Hua Zhenbang continued, "Soul attacks are collectively called soul skills. It is a kind of technique that uses soul power to attack the soul of others. It is the most elusive and dangerous. Because the soul is often the most vulnerable part of a cultivator. Once injured, the lightest is a long sleep, the worst is dementia, and some even directly destroy the soul and become a shell. Fortunately, the man's attack power is not very strong, and your soul is far superior to that of ordinary people. Xiaohua has the protective amulet I gave her, so she escaped. However, soul skills are very rare. Why did this man attack you two girls?"
"That's easy. Just wake him up and ask him directly." Yuan Ye and Mu Yun heard that Yun Bai almost made the same mistake as Xiao Hua, and they immediately gritted their teeth. Mu Yun naturally would not give the expensive Soul Gathering Pill to this man. He took out a glass bottle, which seemed to contain a small black insect. Then, in front of everyone, he poured out the small black insect and placed it in the middle-aged man's nostrils.
I saw the little black bug whoosh into it and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Is this... a dream-returning insect?" Yuan Ye and Hua Zhenbang stared at the place where the little black insect disappeared, their pupils shrank. Then they both looked at Mu Yun in surprise. This kind of insect is not common, and it is also extremely difficult to tame and control.
"Well, it's a little gadget. I usually keep it for fun, and sometimes I need it for making pills. Now it's just right for interrogating this person." Mu Yun said it lightly and nonchalantly.
Yun Bai didn't recognize this little bug, and girls don't like bugs. Yun Bai was pretty good, she didn't scream when she saw a bug, but she still had some resistance, especially when she saw this little thing drilled directly into the man's nostrils, she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
Seeing the curious looks of Yun Bai and Xiao Hua, Mu Yun smiled and explained, "The Dream Returning Bug can drill into the soul sea of a cultivator and release a hallucinogen that can paralyze the cultivator's soul, making him seem to be in a dream, and unconsciously tell the answer you want to know. Until he wakes up, he doesn't know what he has experienced. High-grade Dream Returning Bugs even have some of the abilities of Soul Devouring Gu, but the damage to the cultivator's soul is much less than that of Soul Devouring Gu. My Dream Returning Bug is only level 3, and it can't reach that level, but it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this guy."
After Mu Yun finished speaking, he whispered a few spells, and then the middle-aged man who was originally unconscious rolled his eyes and sat up. At this moment, his pupils were lifeless, and there was a shadow of a small black insect in them. His body was also shaking, like a puppet, looking awkward and weird.
"What's your name and where are you from?" Mu Yun asked in a gentle, hypnotic voice.
"Hu Xin, Wu State." The man answered in a delirious voice.
"What is your mission here?" Mu Yun asked patiently.
"I am following the Second Princess' orders to teach these two ignorant girls a lesson." The man answered without any consciousness.
"What's the second princess' name?" Mu Yun's voice gradually became cold.
"The Second Princess, the Second Princess screams--Ah!!!" The man didn't say the Second Princess's name after all. After a scream, his eyes rolled back again and he fell straight down. This time, black blood oozed out of his seven orifices. It actually triggered some kind of protective forbidden spell, which severely damaged the man's soul again. Even if he wakes up in the future, he will probably become an idiot. In the black blood, the corpse of a small black insect also flowed out.
"It's useless. What a pity..." Mu Yun frowned, and was extremely indifferent to the death of the insect and the fainting of the skinny middle-aged man. The "what a pity" he mentioned did not refer to the death of the insect, but the fact that he failed to ask the key question from that man. Yun Bai realized that he, who had always been warm and considerate, actually had such a cold and ruthless side. Of course, she didn't understand it yet, that the warm and considerate Mu Yun would only appear when he saw her and a very few other people. Most of the time, Mu Yun was like the stars in the sky, bright, cold, and distant...
Seeing this, Yuan Ye hurriedly sent a message to his grandfather Yuan Wuhen. This matter concerned the safety of two key seed students, and almost caused a loss of life. He should report the matter to the principal Yuan Wuhen in time. Then, naturally, the relevant personnel of Tianlan came forward to settle the matter. Wu State is a medium-sized country tens of thousands of miles away from Tianlan. Even if the orthodox royal family is in trouble, they dare not do anything to Tianlan, let alone a prince's servant who wants to murder Tianlan students. Such a person will not end well if caught. He will be useless. Instead, the Seventh Prince should think carefully and not be held accountable by Tianlan.
Soon, Yuan Wuhen sent someone to understand the situation and deal with the aftermath. As for how to collect evidence and negotiate with the seven kings of Wu, Yuan Ye and the others didn't have to worry about it. Mu Yun knew that Yun Bai was not used to and didn't like to see such a scene, so before those people arrived, he asked the men to carry the unconscious middle-aged man out of Yun Bai's sight.
"Wu country, second princess..." Although they didn't need to worry about the specific matters, they had to know who was plotting against Yun Bai and the others, and who used such a cruel spirit skill. Everyone kept repeating these key words in their hearts, and for a moment, Yun Bai, Xiao Hua and Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and then the three of them said a name in unison -
Wu Qian!
Then, old man Hua Zhenbang also suddenly realized.
