During the past dark turmoil, there was also a demon with the ability to alter others' mories, known as the Tide of Chaos.
But this demon altered others' mories rely to kill at any ti while making people unable to trust each other.
The most important thing is that this demon lacks Spiritual Wisdom, and in the face of danger, it doesn't even think of using humans whose mories it has altered to kidnap and threaten; once it's dealt with, those whose mories were altered are saved.
But Chu Tiance is different. He is human, possesses extraordinary wisdom, and also practices Secret Heavenly Calculation, which allows him to probe the future. Compared to him, the Tide of Chaos is simply an infant—no, a monkey!
Therefore, Chu Tiance's actions can be said to have truly kidnapped all of humanity.
Anyone wanting to act against him must consider the problem of harming innocent people!
What should be done about this?
"Is there a way to directly detect the issue? It might not be so troubleso then," said Mu Jinyu, frowning.
Right now, whether or not ordinary people have been eroded by Chu Tiance, just the fact that several high-level officials on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's side have been eroded is already a headache.
After all, Bai Xiaosheng just said that people like Xia Ruochen, with Demonic Qi lingering around them and in a state similar to Falling into Demon, are defective products and cannot beco sacrifices for Chu Tiance, making them easier to detect.
But as for those who succeeded, who knows what their mories have been altered into.
After all, Chu Tiance's thods are extraordinary. He and Bai Xiaosheng have both practiced Secret Heavenly Calculation well, yet they can't even trace his whereabouts. If soone's mory is altered by Chu Tiance, Mu Jinyu doubts it would be easily detected.
Bai Xiaosheng was silent for a mont before tentatively suggesting, "Dragon Master, try using the Soul Searching Technique on those outside who haven't been eroded by Demonic Qi and see if you can find any issues."
His tone sounded quite uncertain.
Because he did not believe that simply using Soul Search could uncover anything.
Moreover, everyone has their secrets; who would be willing to allow others to search their souls?
And even if everyone agreed, those capable of performing Soul Search without damaging others' souls are few; apart from Mu Jinyu in the Dragon King Hall, only Yu Shenfeng and himself can do it.
In this way, to rely on Soul Search to check each of the country's more than a billion people for signs of being turned into Chu Tiance's scapegoats would take an enormous amount of ti, an outright fantasy.
"Sigh..."
Mu Jinyu sighed softly, then turned to look at the old man who had brought them here.
The old man naturally listened to their conversation the whole way and was already in turmoil inside, never expecting such terrifying things to occur.
At this mont, seeing Mu Jinyu looking at him, the old man's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively took a few steps back.
He then steadied his mind with an effort, his face pale, and said, "Dragon King, can... can you not..."
"What do you think?" Mu Jinyu replied indifferently.
"Sigh..." The old man, upon hearing this, knew there was no escaping being soul-searched by Mu Jinyu.
Though he was extrely unwilling, he knew that if he resisted fiercely, preferring death over compliance, he might not have even the chance to kill himself and would still be forcibly soul-searched by Mu Jinyu. If there were no issues found, he would lose everything he had now.
Thinking of this, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "Alright then, Dragon King, go ahead."
Mu Jinyu said, "Look up at ."
The old man, hearing this, instinctively looked up at Mu Jinyu.
The two locked eyes, and the old man's eyes flickered, his bright gaze gradually dimd, appearing lost and disheartened.
Mu Jinyu quickly completed the Soul Search on him.
Just as he suspected, the results didn't reveal anything unusual. However, this old man was quite adept at using his authority to carry out many minor actions within the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
No wonder he was so resistant earlier.
But these were minor issues, not too severe, and since they involved the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Mu Jinyu couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
"How is it, Dragon Master?"
Bai Xiaosheng asked.
Although he could already tell the answer from Mu Jinyu's expression, he still asked out loud.
Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, saying, "No, it's not necessarily his problem; perhaps he didn't have a problem in the first place."
Xia Ruochen, silent all this ti, spoke up, "Let's go out and have a look, and also check others to see if there are any issues."
"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded lightly.
The old man's eyes returned to clarity as he listened to their conversation, secretly relieved to know Mu Jinyu did not sell him out after soul-searching him.
Then everyone left the underground passage together and headed outside.
Xilin followed behind Mu Jinyu, her wine-red eyes fixed on him, lost in thought, her gaze seemingly carrying a sense of superiority and slight disdain.
Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense was very keen; initially, he was distracted and didn't pay much attention, but the feeling beca more noticeable over ti. Naturally, he felt this gaze, quickly turning back to look at Xilin, eyes filled with suspicion.
"What kind of look is that?"
Xilin was startled, hurriedly composing herself, and shook her head, "No... no, I just admire you... yes, admire you..."
"Hmm?!" Mu Jinyu narrowed his eyes, deeply scrutinizing Xilin, suddenly asking, "Do you have a better solution, thinking my thod is terrible and secretly mocking ?"
"No! How could I..." Xilin shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to admit, "I wouldn't dare mock you..."
In truth, Mu Jinyu himself felt that relying solely on Soul Searching Technique to investigate one by one wasn't practical or realistic. However, he had no better ideas at the mont and could only try this approach for now.
If Xilin truly had a solution, he wouldn't mind being mocked by her.
However, it seed she wasn't inclined to reveal the solution to him.
Which is understandable, considering she had suffered at his hands; naturally, she would be inclined to take joy in his predicant and secretly mock him. How could she act against her nature to extend a helping hand?
Thinking it over, Mu Jinyu decided not to press Xilin into revealing the solution and opted to continue trying other ans. If no solutions erged eventually, he would have no choice but to ask this woman for help.
Ultimately, the matter concerned all of humanity's lives; he couldn't afford any petty grievances in this regard.
Realizing Mu Jinyu was no longer pressing her for answers and had resud walking, Xilin felt both relief and a surge of irritation.
How could he just give up like that?
Shouldn't he have continued to question?
Shouldn't he insist on getting to the bottom of it?
And then beg , his dear ancestor!
Why just give up so easily?
I said there was nothing, and he just believed it?
Xilin's heart filled with an inexplicable indignation and frustration.
Yet she couldn't possibly reveal the solution proactively just because Mu Jinyu had stopped asking.
She believed that once Mu Jinyu ran out of options, he would definitely co to her. At that ti, she could take her ti leveraging the situation.
Yes, the one who takes the initiative loses; she must hold out to the end!
