58: Chapter 58 Since the senior is so deceitful, then I, Xu, happen to know a senior as well.

Inside the cage, noisy sounds continued to drift out.

"Who is Xu Changsheng, to actually draw Immortal Master Jiang to capture him personally?"

"Did you forget? This is the person who hitched a ride on the Second Miss of the Xie Family's ningguang boat that day."

"So it was him. Being so close to Jiang Wenzhou's fiancée, perhaps he is the real culprit who killed Jiang Wenzhou! Our grievances are about to be cleared!"

Xu Changsheng, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed forward without changing his expression: "Junior greets Immortal Master Lieyang."

"Senior has come this time to ask about Fellow Daoist Jiang's matter, and this Junior is willing to tell everything he knows."

Jiang Junjie's gaze was as cold as a blade: "I don't believe what you say."

He threw out the withered old man in front of him.

Looking closely, it was Ding Zhengxiang.

At this moment, his eyes were dull and he was in a daze, looking unconscious and muttering nonsense: "Jiang Wenzhou... no relation... this old man... doesn't know..."

Seeing this scene.

Xu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands again: "Then I wonder how this Junior can assist the Immortal Master?"

Jiang Junjie slowly flew up and approached Xu Changsheng. Under the powerful pressure, the latter couldn't hold on and half-knelt with both hands on the ground.

The burly man in red slightly curled his lips: "No need to trouble you to state it, little friend. This old man can do it himself, because your Divine Soul will not lie."

Hearing these words.

Xu Changsheng immediately thought of something, his mouth agape and tongue-tied, choking back what he wanted to say.

This Jiang Junjie actually wanted to Soul Search him right from the start!

No wonder Ding Zhengxiang had become such a foolish and idiotic mess.

Soul Search is an extremely malicious Divine Soul secret technique. By forcibly invading another's Sea of Consciousness, it directly reads and destroys the opponent's memories and Divine Soul.

The one being Soul Searched would endure unimaginable pain, as if their brain matter was being torn apart inch by inch. The pain penetrated deep into the marrow, a hundred or thousand times more cruel than physical torture.

The consequences were also very serious.

At best, memories would be confused and the mind unclear.

At worst, one would become a complete idiot, or even experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, with no further chance of Reincarnation.

Chen Xuan leaned against the ship's railing, watching this scene, and couldn't help but show a look of triumph:

"Xu Changsheng, I admit your bones are hard. Huang Laifu couldn't do anything to you, Lu Yuanze couldn't kill you, and the Flowing Light Talisman River couldn't drown you."

"But this time, with Grandmaster taking action, how will you get through it?!"

It just so happened that Su Xiaojing had returned to the bow of the ship.

Clutching Chen Xuan's arm, she said coquettishly, "Brother Chen, Jinger kept watch for you in the market for three days and three nights. Don't you even have a word of sympathy?"

He suddenly turned around and pulled her tightly into his arms: "Sympathy? Of course I do. After we witness how your former Dao Companion's Divine Soul is crushed and his bones are ground to ashes tonight, I will take good care of you!"

"What former or latter Dao Companion, how mean. Jinger and he are also irreconcilable!"

Below the ship.

Xu Changsheng struggled to support his body and glanced at the sky.

One person, one boat, and one moon.

He looked back.

Yun Xin behind him had an even lower cultivation and had not undergone Body Refining. At this moment, she was sprawled on the ground with her limbs spread out, her white dress covered in mud.

She muttered to herself, "Big Brother Xu, please be alright."

He raised his head and asked, "If Senior wants to Soul Search this one, it is fine. However, Miss Yun behind me has low cultivation and did not enter the Secret Realm. Could you spare her life?"

Yun Xin shook her head with effort: "I don't want that! Big Brother Xu, Xiner doesn't want to live a cowardly life. Even if I die, I want to die with you."

Jiang Junjie pursed his lips into a thin line. He most enjoyed this feeling of holding the power of life and death over low-level Cultivators in his hands.

"Little friend Xu, you are far too naive. If you are the culprit who killed my disciple, then this maidservant of yours naturally cannot escape involvement. I cannot spare her."

Xu Changsheng sneered: "Then what if Senior's Soul Search does not yield the desired result? This Junior did not murder Jiang Wenzhou and considers himself to have a clear conscience."

Seeing him talk back, Jiang Junjie burst into rage: "How bold! You, a mere Qi Refining Cultivator, whom this old man could crush with a single finger, dare to talk back to me."

"If this old man's Soul Search on you yields nothing, then it proves the culprit is this maidservant. This old man will likewise Soul Search her to ensure justice is served."

At this time.

Yun Xin had already crawled to Xu Changsheng's side, her head resting on his knee, her eyelashes trembling slightly. A thousand emotions were left unsaid.

Jiang Junjie's fingers moved slightly, preparing to act.

A strange scene appeared.

Xu Changsheng suddenly treated the pressure as if it were nothing, straightened his knees, and slowly helped Yun Xin stand up.

"Big Brother Xu, this is...?"

Yun Xin also felt light as a feather at this moment, the terrifying pressure from before having vanished without a trace.

Xu Changsheng looked up at the bright moon in the distance.

He muttered under his breath: "Third quarter of the Boar hour, the Moon Emerges from the Heavenly Gate!"

He silently added in his heart: "Senior Danxia, you have finally arrived."

Not far away.

Everyone on the Prison Boat was as dumbfounded as wooden chickens.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, am I blind? I saw that Xu Changsheng stand up."

"You're not blind, I saw it too."

"Then what is the situation?"

The expressions of Chen Xuan and Su Xiaojing at the bow weren't much better.

The latter lightly covered her red lips: "This, this Xu Changsheng, how did he do it? I have never seen a Qi Refining Disciple standing in front of Grandmaster."

Although Chen Xuan also showed a look of surprise, he remained relatively calm: "Let's keep watching. Perhaps Grandmaster just relaxed for a moment."

In the sky.

Jiang Junjie naturally saw this scene as well.

His cruel expression froze like a portrait, and then he felt a sense of humiliation well up in his heart.

Although he didn't know how it was done.

But for a Qi Refining ant to stand tall under his pressure—if other peers were to see this, wouldn't his reputation be ruined and he become a laughingstock?

"Scoundrel! Die!"

He raised his hand and struck a fireball as bright as the scorching sun toward the two people on the ground.

"Anyway, Soul Search can still be performed on Cultivators who haven't been dead for long. He could no longer tolerate an ant hopping around beneath his feet."

Before it even reached them, a bone-penetrating heat wave rushed toward them.

Yun Xin tightly hugged Xu Changsheng's shoulder, her eyelids squeezed shut.

Sighs and celebrations came from the Prison Boat.

"My mistake, I thought this Xu Changsheng was hiding something and could save us from this sea of bitterness?"

"Keep your voice down, do you want to die?"

"Tch, what's the difference between entering the Fire Prison and losing your life? You don't actually think you can still get out, do you?"

Su Xiaojing cheered: "Great! Brother Chen, this Xu Changsheng is dead for sure!"

Chen Xuan's sword-like brows were heavy; he was not an arrogant person.

Time and again when he thought Xu Changsheng would surely die, the latter would always pop up and embarrass him.

So, although he was full of anticipation, he would not celebrate prematurely until Xu Changsheng's corpse appeared in his field of vision.

"Boom!"

The sound was earth-shattering, kicking up dust a hundred feet high.

However, in the next instant.

Something unimaginable to everyone occurred.

Xu Changsheng, holding Yun Xin's hand, walked out of the smoke and dust unscathed.

Inside the cage.

"Hiss."

A series of sharp intakes of cold air.

"How is it possible! That Xu Changsheng is fine!"

"Could it be that what you said was true, and this Xu Changsheng is an old monster?"

No sound came from the bow or the sky.

Jiang Junjie looked on with suspicion, his thick brows furrowed: "There is someone behind you. Who is it?"

Xu Changsheng said word by word: "Since Senior is so overbearing, then This Xu also happens to know a Senior."
