Zhou Yan looked calmly at Xie Feng, fully grasping Xie Feng’s instantaneous thoughts.
This ability akin to mind-reading, Zhou Yan naturally brought to this world. However, before this, Zhou Yan had already disregarded using such ans, as it tends to create a sense of dependency and even self-deception.
But now, Zhou Yan has no such concerns, and the reason he is interested in Xie Feng is that Zhou Yan is very certain that Xie Feng is soone with the Emperor Seal.
In other words, Xie Feng, like Zhou Yan on the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, is similarly an existence suppressed by so kind of seal.
This can be completely judged from the speechless expression of the elderly man with a single leg, white hair, and child-like visage.
Zhou Yan does not believe that under such circumstances, this one-legged elder could execute any manipulation because in this world, aside from himself and those few elders within the turtle shell who orchestrate, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to know that Zhou Yan is not Zhou Yan but another Zhou Yan who has gone through a future in a parallel space.
Therefore, compared to the other cultivators on the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, Zhou Yan resembles more a transcender.
No matter how capable the one-legged elder may be, even if Zhou Yan told him this truth, he would absolutely not believe it as a fact.
It’s like if soone tells Zhou Yan that they co from the future and have rely returned to the past, Zhou Yan would not believe it because it fundantally doesn’t make sense.
But nobody would know that intrinsically the Sword Burial Ancestor Star itself fundantally does not make sense.
Zhou Yan did not pay attention to Feng Lingqing and Gu Xi’s surprise; in fact, this decision was just a whim because Xie Feng and Zhou Yan have the sa Emperor Seal, and Zhou Yan truly wants to know what this Emperor Seal actually suppresses.
Now, Xie Feng’s performance undoubtedly makes Zhou Yan coldly sneer while also feeling that he is indeed a qualified sycophant.
Therefore, Zhou Yan’s gaze focused, and Xie Feng imdiately knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, swiftly offering his essence blood, and swore a loyalty oath and Emperor Seal Heart Demon Oath.
He seed worried that his actions could not satisfy Zhou Yan, and therefore expressed his absolute lack of hatred and assured his future unwavering loyalty to Zhou Yan.
Xie Feng’s subservient display, revealing his ugly deanor, again surprised Feng Lingqing and Gu Xi.
They have seen shaless people, but for Xie Xikun, the young master of the Xie Family, to be so shaless, indeed they find it hard to believe, since it’s Zhou Yan who killed his father and ancestors, yet Xie Feng is so sycophantic, it truly shas the face of cultivators worldwide.
Hence, Gu Xi was the first to lose her composure. She furrowed her delicate brows and said to Zhou Yan, "Brother Zhou Yan, such a shaless person might betray us with a fatal strike one day, perhaps it’s best to kill him."
Gu Xi isn’t a ruthless woman, but even she wants Xie Feng dead, which shows how repulsive Xie Feng’s behavior is.
But Zhou Yan rely smiled faintly and said, "Xi’er, don’t worry, I can still find use for him temporarily, and when he changes, perhaps he won’t be as intolerable. Of course, regardless of how he changes, since I can suppress him, there’s no worry of him jumping around."
Zhou Yan held Gu Xi’s hand gently, dispelling her slight dissatisfaction.
"Mm."
Gu Xi beca shy again, softly agreeing, her voice as small as a mosquito, letting go of any grievances.
Conversely, Feng Lingqing couldn’t help but glance several tis at Xie Feng, knowing he hides treacherous intentions and has long harbored desires towards the Xiao Family sisters.
Currently, Young Master Zhou Yan letting him off surely ans there are so important matters to handle.
Otherwise, with Zhou Yan’s ans, Feng Lingqing believes Xie Feng could not possibly survive.
Hearing Gu Xi speak made Xie Feng’s face turn pale with fear, but luckily Zhou Yan did not dwell on it, prompting Xie Feng to sweat coldly in relief.
Though Gu Xi’s sudden words instilled fear, Xie Feng knew he absolutely couldn’t harbor any trace of resentnt or malice, or survival would be truly impossible.
So, although Gu Xi almost delivered him into danger and potential death, Xie Feng remained exceedingly respectful, daring not to defy in the least.
This behavior fully displayed the character of a small-minded person, yet it was impeccable.
Zhou Yan also didn’t expect Xie Feng to show no hint of dissatisfaction towards Gu Xi, raising his regard for Xie Feng slightly.
"You’re quite comndable, showing enough sincerity. No matter the outco, I will leave you a path to life. Of course, if you bring about your own demise, then don’t bla ."
Zhou Yan spoke.
Xie Feng was instantly overjoyed, kowtowing loudly repeatedly, saying respectfully, "Rest assured, senior, even with countless guts, this junior wouldn’t dare. Moreover, this junior has sworn an oath, how could I not recognize this? And in today’s world, it’s the strength of the strong that prevails; to submit to senior is indeed a blessing earned through thousands of generations."
Xie Feng imdiately took advantage to climb higher, expressing a flood of flattering words in a succession.
The words flowed smoothly, neither stuttering nor faltering.
Gu Xi and Feng Lingqing couldn’t help but glance at Xie Feng again, both of them showing a mixed expression of amusent and exasperation on their faces.
Zhou Yan, however, didn’t pay much attention. He waved his hand slightly to stop Xie Feng’s flattering words. If he didn’t intervene, this person might say anything and do anything.
"Do not resist. I need to search your mory to know so things. Of course, while it might cause you so pain, there will be no damage as long as you don’t resist."
Zhou Yan said.
The Soul Searching Technique consus quite a bit of energy; in the current situation, Zhou Yan wasn’t really suited to use too much force, but there were things that required it, and Zhou Yan didn’t have any concerns, using it whenever he needed.
Xie Feng was sowhat afraid of Zhou Yan’s thods, but after hearing Zhou Yan’s words, he still opened up his soul, like a lamb about to be violated, that kind of sorrowful gaze stunned Feng Lingqing and Gu Xi for a while.
"This... does he think Brother Zhou Yan is going to force him?"
Gu Xi suddenly thought of a very strange notion and stamred.
Feng Lingqing’s pretty face blushed, but she softly coughed twice, covering Gu Xi’s voice, and softly chided, "Gu Xi, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Young Master would be soone like that!"
"Hehe, I just suddenly thought of it, who told this villain Xie Feng to have such a bitter face!"
Gu Xi, her face also burning with embarrassnt, explained.
Zhou Yan, hearing the two whispering, was sowhat speechless.
It must be said, even the most gentle girls must have quite a bit of dark humor in their hearts.
However, Zhou Yan didn’t explain anything. Seeing Xie Feng’s sorrowful and gloomy eyes, Zhou Yan directly unleashed his divine power, invading deep into Xie Feng’s soul at once.
The Power of Dominance derived a divine energy, and Zhou Yan instantly saw what he wanted to see—the ancient bloodline runes, like the mottled Dao traces on the city walls of the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, complex and intertwined.
Within the bloodline runes, worlds were interwoven in chaos, inside were corpses lying all over, yet they had all beco dry corpses.
This trace was present in Xie Feng’s most primitive mory, just one fragnt that could hide from Xie Feng, could hide from everyone, except it couldn’t hide from Zhou Yan.
Because Zhou Yan, in essence, no longer belonged to this world, so Zhou Yan is an ’outsider’, an ’outsider’.
Because of this, Zhou Yan instantly searched for this scene, but this scene was also just a fragnt of a mory shard.
Beyond this fragnt, more of Xie Feng’s soul mory consisted of a graceful young girl in white like snow, whom Zhou Yan recognized, nad ’Yan Ran’, known as the ’Yanran Mystic’ of the Sword Burial Ancestor Star.
However, this girl, in Xie Feng’s mory, turned out to be a talented figure in the branch of the Xie Family—Xie Yanran.
Before this, Zhou Yan never knew that the Yanran Mystic was from the Xie Family; even though he had later gotten along with her quite well, he didn’t know she was nad ’Xie’.
Now, discovering this point early, Zhou Yan couldn’t find the slightest trace of her in the entire Xie Family.
Zhou Yan searched other parts of Xie Feng’s mory, but other mories were more trivial; this Xie Feng was a sowhat perverted figure who liked using his own hands to create his own joy.
However, these mories, once Zhou Yan touched them, he imdiately discarded.
Zhou Yan also searched for parts of ancient sealing auras within Xie Feng’s bloodline, but the Soul Searching Technique clearly found nothing.
After trying several tis without discovering any clues, Zhou Yan gave up this act.
Afterwards, Zhou Yan withdrew the Soul Searching Technique. By then, Xie Feng was sweating profusely, painfully collapsed on the ground, clutching his head with both hands, his body twisting and convulsing violently, like being struck by lightning. After convulsing for quite a while, he gradually cald down.
Zhou Yan, however, didn’t move. His sensing power perated the entire Xie Family, without launching a slaughter, nor startling anyone else in the area.
Zhou Yan rely quietly watched Xie Feng. Beside Zhou Yan, Gu Xi and Feng Lingqing were very quiet, both subconsciously holding onto Zhou Yan’s hands, waiting for Zhou Yan to act.
They already knew that Zhou Yan must have important matters to attend to, otherwise there wouldn’t be such hassle.
Under Zhou Yan’s gaze, so kind of restraint within Xie Feng seed to open partially, with dark yellow viscous liquid seeping from his sweat pores.
This liquid emanated a corrosive foul stench, pungent and unpleasant.
As soon as this odor appeared, Zhou Yan, with a thought, had a wavelike shield envelop them, covering him, Feng Lingqing, and Gu Xi.
Still, the two girls appeared sowhat nauseated—after all, young girls always liked cleanliness, and Xie Feng’s situation was so filthy.
