Looks like there's no other way.
Qin Xiao immediately used the soul searching technique. Although Qin Xiao wasn't good at long soul searching, his strength was still there.
No matter how strong he was, it was still very powerful when he used his full strength.
Patriarch Jiang immediately understood Qin Xiao's intention. He wanted to fight back with all his strength, but there was no way he could fight back.
In the face of Qin Xiao's powerful strength, there was no way he could escape. He could only fight with all his might.
Searching a person's soul was a very difficult and dangerous task.
Not only was the person being searched dangerous, the person who did it was also very dangerous. It was very likely that the person who did it would suffer a backlash.
If one was careless, it was very likely that they would be in a situation of eternal damnation.
This was especially the case when Patriarch Jiang was still fiercely fighting. This made the situation even more dangerous.
There was no better way at the moment, so Qin Xiao could only resort to such an underhanded method.
He had to take the risk and search Patriarch Jiang's memories.
In Patriarch Jiang's memory, Qin Xiao quickly found some blurry images and useful information.
Those images were too blurry. And it was only a flash. Everything else had been cleared, only a little bit remained.
It was difficult to determine the specific situation from this tiny bit of remnant image.
There was an extremely powerful figure of an aura. It seemed to be an extremely powerful Fourth Step Ancient Saint Stage, or perhaps even an even more powerful existence.
In the blurry image... There was another figure that flashed past.
"Hmm? How is that possible?"
The blurry figure that flashed by gave Qin Xiao a sense of familiarity. This gave Qin Xiao a huge fright.
He repeatedly observed it several times and confirmed it several times. In the end, he had to confirm that he was not mistaken.
That figure was indeed a familiar person.
But how could it be like this?
Why did this figure appear in Patriarch Jiang's memory?
After Qin Xiao had searched through Patriarch Jiang's memory, his soul had also collapsed and died, he couldn't be more dead.
Seeing the change in Qin Xiao's expression, Mr. Chunjie couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong brother? What's the matter?"
Qin Xiao looked at Mr. Chunjie, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If I'm not mistaken, in Patriarch Jiang's memory just now, I saw the figure of an old friend."
"If that's the case, it means that my old friend is also involved in Soul Eater's matter."
"We got to know each other when we first met in the Eight Domains Alliance. I have also regarded him as my brother."
"But..."
"... I never thought that such a thing would happen. I really don't want to see it happen. "
Hm?
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Mr. Chunjie couldn't help but frown. "Brother, don't think too much about it for now. It is also possible that he is also just a victim."
"Just like Jiang Lanyan, she is actually a pure victim. And the one who harmed her was actually her father. What a beast's heart."
"Even Patriarch Jiang could do such a thing."
"So, that friend of yours might not be willing."
"Soul Eater's family has spread in the Holy Domain of Sword Cultivator Dao. There will definitely be many victims."
Qin Xiao nodded. He also thought the same. For the time being, that was the only thing he could think of.
However, Qin Xiao still believed in Lang Jinghong's character very much. It was impossible for him to do such an evil thing.
Furthermore, Lang Jinghong was also a disciple of the Justice Alliance. He had endured the test of the Justice Alliance. In all aspects, he should be trustworthy.
Perhaps, Lang Jinghong had only suffered a sneak attack during the process of investigating Soul Eater's family.
But no matter what, this situation still worried Qin Xiao.
After all, Lang Jinghong wasn't just a Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage like Patriarch Jiang. With Lang Jinghong's talent and potential, even if his improvement over the years was a little slower, he should have reached the Second Step Ancient Saint Stage, right?
A Second Step Ancient Saint Stage Soul Eater was extremely difficult to deal with.
He was afraid that there was no way to get rid of the strange devouring force on his body.
This problem had made Qin Xiao very worried and gave him a headache.
He didn't wish to see anything happen to Lang Jinghong. If he couldn't save Lang Jinghong in the end, he was afraid that he would have to make a cruel choice.
This choice was something that Qin Xiao didn't want to think about.
"Patriarch Jiang is already dead. Your friend's location is the only clue." Mr. Chunjie said.
Qin Xiao nodded. That's right. Right now, Lang Jinghong was the only clue.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it.
But the problem now was, how could he find Lang Jinghong?
After thinking for a while, Qin Xiao decided to tell Fu Yunni about this situation first, and let her contact the members of the Justice Alliance in Sword Cultivator Holy Domain.
After all, Lang Jinghong was a member of the Justice Alliance. The second grade members of the Justice Alliance in Sword Cultivator Holy Domain should be able to find him.
At the same time, Qin Xiao also sent a sound transmission to Lang Jinghong. However, he didn't receive any reply in the end.
Qin Xiao thought that he wouldn't get any reply.
There was no other way, he could only start from Patriarch Jiang.
Patriarch Jiang should have just become Soul Eater recently. Now, he could only start from the dumbest way to find out where Patriarch Jiang had gone over a hundred years ago to become Soul Eater.
To find out this point, he would have to use the Time Backtrack to find out. Although it would take a lot of time and effort to do so, there was no better way.
Sure enough, Qin Xiao used the Time Backtrack to find out that Patriarch Jiang had left Lanxi City more than two hundred years ago. When he returned to Lanxi City more than a hundred years later, he had become Soul Eater.
Therefore, he must have been targeted by Soul Eater during this period of time, which was why he had become Soul Eater.
Following this route, Qin Xiao and Qin Xiao followed the trail all the way to a place called Heavenly Purification City. It was only because of this that time and space were destroyed, and there was no way to continue the search.
"The trail is broken here. It's obvious that there's a force that purposely erased a part of the space and time."
"Patriarch Jiang also stayed here for nearly a hundred years before he left. After he left, he became the Devourer."
"So, Patriarch Jiang must have become Soul Eater in this city."
"According to what we know, the reason Patriarch Jiang came to this city was because he was invited by his old friend, the master of Ding Family, to have a wedding banquet."
"So, our first clue is the Ding Family Master of the city."
"Let's first investigate the situation of the city."
Qin Xiao said to Mr. Chunjie. The two of them immediately started to check the situation of the city.
The city was much stronger than the Lanxi City, and the family was also much more complicated.
The Ding Family was one of the forces of the family.
Qin Xiao had found something interesting, and that was that Ding Family originally had a relatively low position in the Sword Purification City a thousand years ago. However, in this short span of a thousand years, the Ding Family seemed to be second to none in the Sword Cleansing City.
This speed of development was simply inconceivable.
Such a situation was also worth pondering over.
"Brother, it seems like there is definitely something wrong with this Ding Family."
"There must be an extremely powerful force supporting the Ding Family to be able to grow so much in such a short period of a thousand years. Otherwise, it is impossible."
"It seems like the rumor of Patriarch Jiang and Soul Eater came from the Ding Family."
"But the Ding Family is just an insignificant family. It must be just a chess piece."
"If the Ding Family continues to rise, there will surely be layers of backers."
Mr. Chunjie analyzed.
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. There must be layers of backers above the Ding Family."
"We don't have any good clues right now, so we can only dig them up layer by layer."
"From the Ding Family, we can dig them up step by step. We can still find the backers."
"Right now, we are also waiting for the news of Lang Jinghong from Senior Sister Fushi. With Lang Jinghong's strength, he should be at a higher level."
"Now, let's grab this small fish first."
……
The Heavenly Sword Tower was the most high-end restaurant in the Heavenly Baptism City, and it was the property of the Ding Family.
Along with the expansion and development of the Ding Family, the Heavenly Sword Tower had become the most high-end restaurant in the city. It was a symbol of status and status.
Ordinary people were no longer qualified to enter the Heavenly Sword Tower.
The threshold to enter the Heavenly Sword Tower was extremely high.
The roof of the Heaven's Sword Tower was the most prominent place.
If it wasn't for the distinguished guests of the Heaven's Sword Tower, they would want to enter the private rooms here to drink, eat, and enjoy themselves. The lowest starting price was 100,000 Chaos Source Stone per person.
Such a price was not something an ordinary Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage could afford.0
Qin Xiao and Mr. Chunjie asked for a private room. In the private room opposite them, there were four men who looked like young masters. All of them were Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage cultivators.
These four men who looked like young masters were talking and laughing. A man in blue was sitting on the main seat. He was the son of the Ding Family's master, and also the target of Qin Xiao and Mr. Chunjie.
They couldn't easily alert the enemy about this matter. Therefore, Qin Xiao and Qin Xiao wanted to start from the other people of the Ding Family to see if they could obtain some useful information.
The son of the Ding Family's master was obviously a good target.
Young Master Ding naturally discovered these two strangers very quickly when they sat in the private room on the top floor.
Young Master Ding said to the other three people, "Do you know these two people?"
The three of them looked at Qin Xiao and the other two and shook their heads.
One of them, White-robed Man, said, "It seems that the aura is powerful. Its strength should be quite good."
"Its aura is also very strong. It should be someone with some background."
"It's not someone from our Heavenly Purification City. I wonder where it came from. It seems like he's a young master who's out adventuring. "
The corners of Young Master Ding's mouth curled up into a smile, and he suddenly flung the wine cup in his hand.
The wine cup instantly turned into a sword, and it was incomparably sharp as it rushed towards Qin Xiao with a whistling sound.
Qin Xiao naturally could see that Young Master Ding was only testing his strength.
Qin Xiao casually waved his hand and slapped the wine cup back. The wine cup had only flown halfway when it was actually slapped back by Qin Xiao.
After slapping back, it actually became even sharper and sharper. It charged towards the son of the Ding family at an extremely fast speed.
Such a situation caused Young Master Ding to involuntarily furrow his brows slightly. His gaze when looking at Qin Xiao also became deep and solemn.
Huala!
Young Master Ding pulled out his sword and waved it. He slashed down with his sword, and only then did he cut the wine cup in half, and it fell down.
If he were to simply use his hand, he felt that he would not be able to easily block the wine cup.
Such a situation caused him to be surprised in his heart. The other party's strength was very strong. It should be above his.
Moreover, it might be much stronger than him.
Such powerful strength, such a powerful aura, just what kind of divine being was that?
Young Master Ding stood up and walked towards Qin Xiao and the other man.
Seeing Young Master Ding's arrival, Qin Xiao and Mr. Chunjie exchanged a glance. Everything was within their expectations.
