On the surface of Yang Ning’s pupils, there were two black dots.
The black dots were extrely tiny, and if one didn’t look closely, they would be invisible.
"My eyes can currently slightly influence the soul body, so they should have so effect on these black dots. I’ll give it a try..."
During last year’s chaos at Dajue Temple, Xu Ning was among the first to have his soul extracted by Master Wusheng. So this April, after rging his internal organs, he imdiately imitated Master Wusheng by trying to manipulate the soul body with his pupils.
Having experinted several tis, Xu Ning now had so understanding of this ability. The pulling force his eyes could exert was related to the cultivation level of the person being influenced; the weaker the opponent, the stronger the pulling force, and vice versa. If the opponent was far stronger, there could even be backlash.
Yang Ning, with only 21 Zou of strength, had disparity more than double compared to him, so extracting the two black dots from Yang Ning’s eyes shouldn’t be a problem.
Ssshhh...
As Xu Ning expected, he first focused his gaze on the black dots on the surface of Yang Ning’s eyes, then suddenly concentrated, and the two black dots flew out with a sizzle.
They weren’t dots, but two exceedingly fine black lines, with a total length of over ten centiters, just deep enough to reach into Yang Ning’s skull.
"What is that?"
"This..."
"There really is sothing!"
Although the black lines were fine, everyone present was at the Cold Resistance Level, so they naturally could see it. Especially the Eight Towns Institute Chief, whose expression changed drastically, causing him to stand up from his chair involuntarily.
Ssshhh!
Once the two black lines were thoroughly extracted, they dissipated and disappeared directly.
"Ah..."
Yang Ning’s face was full of pain, and after a cry of agony, his body directly crumpled to the ground.
Yang Rong imdiately rushed forward to support him. When Yang Ning raised his head again, his expression was first stunned, then as if he rembered sothing, his pupils abruptly contracted, and he began to shake violently.
...
On the night of September 1st, more than twenty kiloters north of Hongn City
"Kid, weren’t you quite bold in the city just now? What are you afraid of now?"
The middle-aged man in black, who looked simple and honest, slowly walked toward Yang Ning, his face full of mockery. He had just slaughtered thirteen people from the Beishuo Chamber of Comrce.
Yang Ning, already injured and having witnessed the tragic death of his relatives like Yang Fan, was utterly bewildered at this mont. Seeing the middle-aged man, he was filled with terror and panic, his mouth trembling yet unable to utter a single word.
"Worthless!"
The middle-aged man directly grabbed Yang Ning, locking eyes with him, and two beams of black light suddenly shot from his pupils, striking Yang Ning’s eyes directly.
"Ah!"
The instant the black light hit his eyes, Yang Ning felt an intense pain in his mind. After a scream, he fell into unconsciousness.
...
After Yang Ning fully recounted his mories, Xu Ning used the sa thod to extract the black lines from the eyes of Yang Ning, Cao Yuanwu, and Long Bohai.
Once the black lines were extracted from their eyes, their reactions were identical to Yang Ning’s. Subsequently, they each recounted in detail how the mbers of their chamber of comrce had been killed.
The truth behind the massacre of thirty-two people from the Three Towns Chamber of Comrce had co to light at this mont, and the expressions of everyone present instantly turned grave.
"Black clothes, seemingly honest, middle-aged man, just these three characteristics?"
Xia Chuan furrowed his brows. That person was evidently extrely cautious. Neither Yang Ning nor Long Bohai and Cao Yuanwu’s real mories from that night revealed any other features. Finding the real culprit with just these three details was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, the main goal of Great Xia wasn’t to uncover the truth, but to clear its own na. So, reaching this point was already quite perfect.
Of course, there was one more thing!
Xia Chuan’s tightly knit brows imdiately relaxed. He glanced at the Eight Towns Institute Chief and then turned to signal Hou Ming at his side with his eyes.
Hou Ming imdiately understood, stepped forward, and said with cupped fists, "Everyone, the truth is now revealed. The real culprit behind the murder of all the mbers of the Three Towns Chamber of Comrce is evidently the black-clad middle-aged man from Yang Ning, Cao Yuanwu, and Long Bohai’s mories.
This man is adept with a longsword and incredibly strong, definitely not below 50 Zou. Moreover, he has the ans to alter others’ mories. Observing the reactions of the three, this person is most likely not from our Nine Towns, which ans there is..."
"There truly is an external force provoking conflict among our Nine Towns!"
Yangqu Institute Chief Cao Tianying directly stood up, taking over Hou Ming’s words.
People with strength above 50 Zou — there aren’t even 20 across the eight Towns combined. Not to ntion Yang Ning and the others’ reaction, just the mory-altering technique alone can’t be matched by anyone currently in the Nine Towns.
Therefore, Cao Tianying’s speculation has a high probability of being accurate!
The other seven institute chiefs, along with everyone they brought on this trip, realized this logic, and their expressions all changed imdiately.
At this mont, everyone from the Eight Towns gathered in the hall had only one thought in mind: there truly was an external force infiltrating the Moao South Slope Territory.
"Everyone, does this clear Great Xia of any suspicion?"
With these words from Xia Chuan, he imdiately drew the attention of the Eight Towns Institute Chiefs.
They pondered for a mont and imdiately looked at Yang Rong and the other two.
Cao Tianying was the first to step forward and bow solemnly to Xia Chuan, saying, "I, Cao, will ensure that everything that happened today in this hall will be reported back to Yangqu in full. At that ti, my Lord will surely provide Great Xia with an explanation!"
