Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 176: Soul Searching Technique

Upon hearing his words, Chu Ming couldn't help but frown.

He never expected it to be such a situation.

Any man would find it difficult to accept such a thing.

If this deep hatred couldn't be avenged, one would have to live in frustration for the rest of their life. Who could bear that?

Chu Ming now understood He Chen even more.

Since the sect couldn't give him justice in this matter, and he didn't have the ability to seek it himself, he could only rely on the demonic cultivators.

If worst comes to worst, everyone could be destroyed together, at least that would be more satisfying.

After hearing about He Chen's experience, the people at the entrance of Cave Mansion began to discuss among themselves.

Some of them showed a look of shock, and one of the tall and thin male cultivators on the left side quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, please don't listen to this person's nonsense!"

"His Dao companion, Sun Xiaoran, did indeed approach me willingly."

"At that time, I didn't know she was a married woman, and dual cultivation with her didn't violate any sect rules."

"But afterwards, she turned around and accused me, saying that I forced her and demanded that I compensate her with pills and spiritual stones, or else she would report it to the sect."

"Naturally, I couldn't be threatened by her, so it escalated to the Punishment Hall, which handled her case fairly."

"As for her death, it was because she couldn't face anyone and chose to end her own life. It has nothing to do with me."

He Chen, suppressed by Chu Ming and unable to move, could only angrily say, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Xiaoran was devoted to me and always maintained her purity. How could she approach you for the sake of spiritual stones and pills?"

The old cultivator with white hair standing beside him sneered, "He Chen, do you really understand your Dao companion?"

"People have hidden motives, perhaps she acted one way in front of you and another way in front of others."

"And as cultivators, we naturally desire spiritual stones and pills."

"Sometimes, it's hard to guarantee that we won't do things against our conscience for certain benefits."

"This is not surprising."

The old cultivator then said to Chu Ming, "Fellow Daoist Huo, don't believe this person's one-sided words."

"Moreover, he has already colluded with demonic cultivators, willing to involve innocent people for his own selfishness."

"Can Fellow Daoist guarantee that he won't lie for his personal grudge?"

"If he is really being manipulated by this evildoer, not only will it ruin Fellow Daoist's reputation, but also tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't act impulsively. Let Punishment Hall handle this matter, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

This person was Yu Yang, an elder of the Punishment Hall in Biling Valley, whom Chu Ming had met before.

At this point, both sides had their own arguments, and it was difficult for him to discern the truth.

Although He Chen seemed to be the victim, the situation might not be exactly as he described.

In a large sect, ordinary female cultivators would naturally seek to attach themselves to high-ranking members or direct disciples in order to obtain cultivation resources.

There were even cases where people set up traps to deceive others, and those who were deceived had to compromise to protect their reputation.

If He Chen's Dao companion was really such a person, and he took the initiative to kill Wang Bing for He Chen, he would become a laughingstock.

This matter needed to be handled carefully.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ming looked at Jiang Zhilan and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, in your opinion, who is right and who is wrong in this matter? How should I handle it?"

Jiang Zhilan calmly replied, "I didn't know about this thirteen years ago. I was focused on cultivation at that time and didn't pay much attention to it."

"I only learned about the parties involved and the judgment today, so I can't express my opinion."

"According to reason, this matter should be handled by the Punishment Hall."

"However, since Fellow Daoist Huo suspects that our sect's high-level officials are handling matters unfairly and protecting their direct disciples, there may be some truth to it."

"In that case, it's better for you to handle this matter. After all, the task of finding the demonic cultivator was originally entrusted to you, so this is also part of the assignment."

"If the allegations are true, Fellow Daoist Huo can act as a representative of the Punishment Hall to enforce the law."

"I believe that the Sect Master and the elders would also agree to this. After all, in terms of supervising the Heavenly Dao Sect, we, the Bi Ling Valley, are willing to show the utmost sincerity."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will take the initiative."

"Everyone stay here and don't move. I'll go back to the Cave Mansion first and come out when I'm ready."

He sent the puppet Huo Da back into the space and informed Long Ling'er about the matter.

He asked her to help with the Soul Searching Technique.

With this spiritual spell, he could easily determine whether Wang Bing was lying or not.

Chu Ming planned to use Huo Da to perform the Soul Searching Technique. Naturally, he couldn't directly use the connection between the Dragon Head Staff and Long Ling'er. This method could only be used by the original body.

However, he could use the Reverse True Conversion to take over the Soul Searching Technique and then bounce it back onto Wang Bing.

By using the Reverse True Conversion, the spell would appear as if he had cast it himself. His divine soul could sense the target's true thoughts and even force them to speak.

Upon hearing this, Long Ling'er was also very angry and didn't say much. She started to perform the Soul Searching Technique on Chu Ming, and her eyes flickered with a blue light.

The two of them made eye contact, and Chu Ming completed Long Ling'er's Soul Searching Technique.

At that moment, he observed through the Bi Ling Valley's vision that Elder Yu Yang from the Punishment Hall condensed a small wooden spike and shot it towards He Chen.

Was he trying to kill him to silence him?

In an instant, Chu Ming also used the Swallow's Return Instant Teleportation to appear in front of He Chen and blocked the wooden spike.

He caught the spike and burned it to ashes with flames from his fingers.

"Elder Yu, are you trying to kill him to silence him?"

"It seems that there is a great injustice in this case. I'm afraid you are also involved," Chu Ming sneered.

Yu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that the demonic cultivator might escape or suddenly attack someone."

"I just wanted to control him."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand."

Chu Ming didn't say much to him either. He directly used the powerful Object Manipulation to suppress Wang Bing and then pulled him over.

The two of them made eye contact, and Chu Ming performed the Soul Searching Technique.

He also established a connection with He Chen's divine soul and secretly asked him, "Wang Bing, did you set up a trap and violate Sun Xiaoran?"

"Is there anyone protecting you?"

Wang Bing's face showed a terrified expression, and even his divine soul trembled.

But after this question, Chu Ming already knew the answer.

Back then, Wang Bing had coveted Sun Xiaoran for a long time. He took advantage of a ceremony in the sect to lure Sun Xiaoran to an empty room.

He drugged her and committed an obscene act, then cleverly removed all the evidence.

At that time, a female disciple from the ceremony happened to witness Wang Bing's actions, but the Elder and the Punishment Hall pressured her, preventing her from speaking the truth.

In a subsequent trial outside the sect, this disciple also died in an accident, and the last piece of evidence disappeared.

But since he had asked with the Soul Searching Technique, there was no need for evidence.

Finally, Wang Bing couldn't bear the pressure of the Soul Searching Technique and was forced to speak, "I set up the trap and violated Sun Xiaoran."

"My master and Elder Yu helped me resolve the final trouble."

After he said this, many disciples around them showed surprise and all looked at Yu Yang.

They never expected that he, as an elder of the Punishment Hall, would do such a thing.
